5. ZONING: (C9-99-01) ROBB RANCH - SPEEDWAY BOULEVARD, RX-1 TO R-1 AND OS, ZONING EXAMINER’S REPORT
(a) Report from City Manager JUNE21-99-305 WII
(b) Report from Zoning Examiner dated April 30, 1999
(c) Request to rezone approximately 15.88 acres from RX-1 to R-1 and OS zoning. Applicant: Mr. Paul Iezzi of Rick Engineering Company on behalf of the property owner, the Jane Robb Trust. The main portion of the property is located approximately 575 feet south of Speedway Boulevard and 1950 feet east of Pantano Road on the west side of Robb Wash with an extension north to Speedway Boulevard on the Kent Drive alignment and a strip from Speedway Boulevard to the south end of the property on the east side of Robb Wash and including the wash. The preliminary development plan is for 38 one-story, single-family residence on 10.18 acres for a density of 3.73 units per acre and 5.7 acres on both side of Robb Wash as open space. The Planning Department recommends approval of R-1 and OS zoning, subject to the conditions of rezoning as recommended by the Zoning Examiner. The Zoning Examiner recommends approval of R-1 and OS zoning, subject to staff’s recommended conditions, as amended, and the proposed changes contained in the April 13, 1999, letter from the Carriage Hills Neighborhood Association, except for the requirement of the City of Tucson to accept responsibility for the maintenance and upkeep of the proposed additional open space. The City Manager recommends approval of R-1 and OS zoning, subject to the following conditions:
1. A maximum of 38 lots.
2. All homes shall be one story, with the maximum height of nineteen (19) feet measured to the peak of the ridge.
3. A minimum separation of fifteen (15) feet between homes on all lots along the west and south property lines, except for the pie-shaped lots on the knuckle and two cul-de-sacs, where the minimum separation between homes shall be ten (10) feet. A minimum separation of ten (10) feet between houses shall apply on all other lots in the Project.
4. A minimum setback of twenty (20) feet to the homes from the west and south property lines, and where adjacent to the OS zone.
5. The proposed 1.7 acre area to the west of the existing Robb Wash drainageway, and the proposed 2.0 acre area on the east side of the existing Robb Wash drainageway shall be protected by a perpetual deed restriction which prohibits alteration of wildlife habitat or landscape from its natural state or consumption of the open space.
6. A four (4) foot wide public pedestrian easement shall be dedicated through the 1.7 acre open space area to allow pedestrian circulation between the existing north end of Kent Drive and Speedway Boulevard. The exact positioning of this easement shall be negotiated with the Carriage Hill Neighborhood, but shall generally conform to the location shown on the Preliminary Development Plan. A decomposed granite surface improvement shall be installed exclusively within the easement. Physical motorized vehicle barriers shall be installed at both ends of the trail and at the street side entrance to the proposed common area on the easterly cul-de-sac.
7. The existing rights-of-way for Kent Drive within the open space area shall be abandoned in conjunction with the recordation of the final plat. In addition, the developer shall request that the City also abandon any excess right-of-way on the east side of the proposed access road adjacent to the Robb Wash drainageway. If a portion of this right-of-way is abandoned this area shall be rezoned to OS and shall be protected by a perpetual deed restriction which prohibits alteration of wildlife habitat or landscape from its natural state or consumption of the open space.
8. A five (5) foot high perimeter wall shall be constructed along the west and south boundaries at the rear of the proposed lots, and where the lots abut the OS zone. The south boundary of the 1.7 acre natural open space area shall be fenced with a three strand wire fence. The east boundary of the 1.7 acre open space area shall not be fenced in order to maintain the wildlife and pedestrian access between the open space area and the Robb Wash. No fencing shall be added to the 2.0 acre open space area on the east side of the Wash. The perimeter wall shall use different materials and/or alignment to enhance its appearance. Openings shall be provided under the wall onto the site to accept drainage from the alleys. Where possible based upon final lot grading, weep holes shall be installed in the portions of the perimeter wall adjacent to 1.7 acre open space area to allow harvesting of runoff water from the rear yards of these lots into the open space area for the benefit of wildlife outside the wall. The pedestrian access and the vehicular access barrier shall be maintained at the junction between the two alleys at the southwest corner of the site.
9. Any required or proposed masonry screen walls shall be constructed of, or painted with, graffiti-resistant materials. Those screen walls visible from the public right-of-way shall incorporate one of the following decorative materials: (a) tile, (b) stone, (c) brick, (d) textured brick/block, (e) a coarse-textured material such as stucco or plaster, or (f) a combination of the above materials. In addition, any continuous wall greater than 75 feet in length and 3 feet in height shall vary the wall alignment (jog, curve, notch, or setback, etc.) to provide a minimum planting area of sixteen (16) square feet and include trees or shrubs in the voids created by the variations.
10. The finish floor elevations of the homes along the west and south property lines shall be the same or lower than the adjacent alley.
11. Plant material that is salvaged from the site shall be relocated to the 1.7 acre natural open space area, specifically to the west of the pedestrian easement and adjacent to the new perimeter wall, and also along the west top of bank of the Robb Wash adjacent to the new access road. At the time of Tentative Plat submittal to the City, the developer shall submit a copy of the Native Plant Preservation Plan for the Project to the Carriage Hill Neighborhood Association for their review of the Plan as it relates to the transplanting of salvaged materials into the open space areas identified above.
12. No treatment is to be applied to the wash banks, except at the one location of site drainage discharge. Erosion hazard issues are to be resolved through setbacks or erosion protection installed at the protected object, not through modifications or treatment of the wash bank.
13. The banks and the bottom of the Robb Wash shall remain natural, except at the location of the current erosion on the west bank. The location of the repair shall be limited to the area defined as a maximum of twenty-five (25) feet on each side of the center of the existing eroded channel, and shall consist of the placement of compacted backfill overlain with grouted riprap. The site drainage from the retention basin shall be configured to outlet directly onto this grouted riprap. The use of concrete bank protection shall not be permitted for this repair.
14. To minimize encroachment into the northerly portion of the west bank of the Robb Wash, the access road shall be constructed as follows:
a. A five (5) foot wide sidewalk offset from the Meridian East Apartment property line by 0.5 feet.
b. No landscape buffer or gap between the sidewalk and west curb of the new access road.
c. The west curb will be a vertical curb without a gutter.
d. The roadway will consist of a maximum of twenty-four (24) feet of pavement and will be sloped toward the wash.
e. The east curb will be flush with the pavement (header curb) to allow sheet flow runoff from the street onto the wash bank along the entire length of the northerly portion of the new access road.
15. Street improvements shall be installed as shown on cross-section A on the Preliminary Development Plan and the attached modified cross-section B. If determined necessary by the City Engineer, the pavement width of the entry street shall be thirty-six (36) feet for a distance of 100 feet south of the Speedway Boulevard right-of-way.
16. A request shall be made to give the entry street a name other than Kent Drive. The street name shall be subject to approval by Pima County Addressing.
17. A drainage report shall be submitted for review and approval, including details of retention/detention. The Project shall be designed to fully comply with the detention/retention requirements of the City's Floodplain Ordinance. Where possible based upon final lot grading, all back yards which are adjacent to the 1.7 acre open space shall be graded such that at least 50% of each lot's runoff shall drain through frequently spaced openings in the perimeter wall. In addition, if possible, the six homes front yards at the south end of the cul-de-sac shall be graded such that a drainage divide shall cause runoff from these six homes, the street before them, and the drainage collected from the alley to the south to be discharged onto the open space.
18. Due to the proximity of Robb Wash (an unstabilized channel) to Kent Drive (a public street and sole access point to this project), the applicant shall install appropriate erosion protection (reduction in the erosion hazard setback) as determined by the approved drainage report or provide an alternate access route to ensure all weather access to the site.
19. All utilities shall be underground.
20. No street lights shall be installed.
21. A four (4) foot high wire construction fence with appropriate color coded flagging shall be installed adjacent to the east curb of the new access road and at the west boundary of the 1.7 acre open space area prior to any alteration of the site. No engine-powered machinery shall be allowed on the east side of this fence at any time. No construction access shall be allowed through the existing north end of Kent Drive or the existing alleys. Construction noise shall be allowed only between dawn and dusk. Dust shall be controlled at all times.
22. The Developer or their designated representative, in cooperation with the Carriage Hill Neighborhood Association, shall be permitted to rescue any wildlife present on the site prior to the start of grading for the Project. A notice shall be given to the Carriage Hill Neighborhood Association at least four (4) weeks prior to grubbing which shall specify the anticipated start date of the construction.
23. Any modification required to the median island in Speedway Boulevard shall be constructed at no expense to the public.
24. All open space areas shall be surveyed and fenced prior to grading, grubbing, or any other land disturbance on-site.
25. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service guidelines regarding the Cactus Ferruginous Pygmy Owl shall be followed.
26. The Arizona Game and Fish Department guidelines regarding raptors, bats, gila monsters, and special status plants and animals shall be followed.
27. Archeological/cultural remains encountered during construction shall be mitigated in accordance with guidelines provided by the Arizona State Museum.
28. "Safe by Design" concepts shall be incorporated in the subdivision plat for review by the Tucson Police Department.
29. Any relocation, modification, etc., of existing utilities and/or public improvements necessitated by the proposed development shall be at no expense to the public.
30. Recordation of a final plat for construction of the proposed development in compliance with all Code requirements and conditions of rezoning by May 3, 2004.
