October 9, 2012 CDRB
Engineering:
1. Traffic circulation and other issues associated with the drive-throughs shall be addressed as part of the Conditional Use Permit review. As currently proposed, staff would not be able to support the requested drive-throughs.
2. The developer shall work with ADOT to adjust the traffic signal timing as outlined in the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) to improve the level of service at the Oracle Road / Pusch View Lane and Oracle Road / La Reserve Drive intersections.
3. A revised TIA will be required once the land uses are known for Phase 1b / Parcel B to review lane requirements for the Pusch View Lane eastbound approach to the Oracle Road intersection.
4. A revised TIA will be required when the future development south of Rooney Wash is in the planning stage to review the need for a separate right-turn lane on First Avenue westbound at the Oracle Road intersection. The developer shall bare all cost for the design and installation of the turn lane and any other necessary mitigation such as removing the existing bus stop and installing a bus pullout on Oracle Road.
5. A revised TIA will be required for the horizon year 2020 to determine the actual timing of installing the dual southbound left turn lanes at the Oracle Road / Pusch View Lane and Oracle Road / La Reserve Drive intersections.
6. The developer shall be required to periodically, as development occurs, review the operation of the Oracle Road / First Avenue intersection and the interaction with the eastbound left turn lane into the bank parcel (southeast corner of the intersection). If the operation is unacceptable, the developer shall provide any necessary mitigation measures to improve the operation at the developer’s expense.
7. The developer has submitted a detention waiver request for the project. The detention waiver request is currently under review and a final decision shall be made once the drainage report has been submitted by the applicant and reviewed by the Town of Oro Valley and the Pima County Flood Control District.
Planning:
1. Show proposed public art location(s) on CSP.
2. Show locations of courtyard/plaza areas on CSP.
3. Provide a sidewalk on both sides of the entry drive into the commercial area between Shops B and C connecting from the sidewalk along Oracle Road to the plaza area between Pads “G” and “H”.
4. Phase “I” roadway and parking improvements shall be constructed concurrent with Phase “A” (the Civic Space) in order to provide parking and access to the Civic Space.
5. The south and west perimeter of Pad “I” (Phase H) shall be landscaped, or the native vegetation shall be preserved, at the time of grading to minimize visibility of the vacant pad from Oracle Road and the main entry drive.
6. Drive-throughs are not approved as shown. Changes to the Conceptual Site Plan and details associated with the drive-throughs shall be reflected on the Final Site Plan or revised Final Site Plan
7. A shared use path shall be provided along the entire length of the Rooney Wash, with provision for a future connection point to the La Reserve development to the north.

MOTION carried, 6-0.
