Frequently Answered Questions About Fact Finding Requests

What is a Fact Finding request?

A Fact Finding request is a public request for basic development information regarding development standards for a particular piece of property.

Is there a fee for a Fact Finding request? Yes. A fee of $300 is charged for a written response. A fee of $600 is charged for a meeting. The fee is due at the time the request is submitted.

What type of information can be requested via a Fact Finding Application?

A Fact Finding request is designed to provide basic information which, though not difficult for staff to research, is not readily available through self-help outlets such as the Internet. Examples: How much ROW will I have to dedicate if I choose to develop my property? Are there any other easement dedications required if I develop my property? Are sewer and water services available to serve my property, and if so, is capacity available for my proposed development? If I want to change the use on my property, what city processes and/or permits are required to make this change? Is the existing parking provided in a shopping center sufficient, or will I need to provide additional parking when I locate my new business there?

How is this request different from a P&D Pre-application meeting?

A Fact Finding is different from a Pre-application meeting in that staff do not conduct a complete review of a proposed site plan as part of a Fact Finding. Only the questions submitted can be answered. A Pre-application meeting is required to obtain a complete review of a detailed site plan proposal. If your Fact Finding request is detailed enough to submit for a pre-application meeting, you will be encouraged to do so. Also, requests for approval of non-standard details (such as driveway, gated-entry designs, or street width dimensions which are not consistent with published city standards) cannot be reviewed or approved as part of a Fact Finding.

Will I get to meet with staff to discuss my Fact Finding request?

Yes, if you choose that option when you make your request and pay the additional fee (if applicable). There are two types of Fact-Finding requests: A) written responses to specific questions; and B) written responses plus a face-to-face discussion with staff.

Do I need to file for a P&D Pre-application meeting if I’ve submitted a Fact-Finding application?

Yes, a Fact Finding request does not replace the required Pre-application meeting. However, it may be possible to request a Combined Pre-application/Preliminary Review, which is further explained in a separate document. Please note that small commercial or industrial projects may not require a Pre-application submittal. Contact Minor Commercial Review staff at Counter 6, 2nd Floor, 200 West Washington Street, for further information.

Are there free services available?

Yes, the 2nd Floor Development Center has staff available to answer many types of development-related questions without fee. Customers are allowed 15 minutes with each discipline; i.e., site, civil, traffic, etc. If more time is needed, a Fact Finding Application will be required. Also, the Office of Customer Advocacy (OCA) provides consultation services related to adaptive reuse of existing buildings without fee. OCA may be reached at 602-534-7344.


Checklist

A pre-application meeting is required prior to submitting preliminary site plans and subdivision plats. To schedule a pre-application meeting, the applicant needs to provide the Pre-Application package information to the Planning and Development Department, Phoenix City Hall, 200 West Washington Street, 2nd Floor, Phoenix, Arizona 85003. For more information, call (602) 495-0302, or visit www.phoenix.gov. Planning and Development offers two forms of pre-application meetings for development projects:

Pre-Application Meeting Options Option 1: A "standard" pre-application meeting with minimal conceptual submittal requirements.

All subdivisions (residential, commercial, and industrial) are Option 1 processes. Option 2: A pre-application meeting with enhanced submittal requirements for applicants who want

their project considered for a combined pre-application/preliminary review and approval process. (This option is not available to subdivisions.)

The "standard" pre-application meeting (Option 1) is used for projects in the conceptual design stage. The goals of the Option 1 submittal are to: Highlight ordinance regulations and stipulations Address potential issues and discuss alternative solutions to technical and design review issues Provide direction to customers regarding the City's development process, i.e. submittal requirements,

appropriate sequences of required plan review and processes. Option 2 may be used for projects that are zoned properly, have addressed major issues and have advanced to a pre-construction submittal design stage. The goals of the Option 2 submittal are to: Eliminate preliminary review meetings where possible Reduce review times Grant preliminary site plan approval at, or soon after, the pre-application conference. Detailed checklists for both options are available. See attached Exhibit for example of a context plan. Fees: Pre-Application fee is due at time of submittal for either option. Additional preliminary review fees for Option 2 will be payable as stipulated in the preliminary approval

report.

What do I check if an applicant is proposing a change of use (zoning)?

● Is the proposed use allowed in the zoning district?

● Is the proposed use subject to any conditions, like a use permit?

● Is there a special permit on the site?

● Does the proposed change affect required parking? If so, refer to Traffic.

What if an applicant is proposing a change of occupancy (building code)?

● If the use is allowed in the zoning district, a change of occupancy (Building Code) alone should not require any changes to existing site conditions.

Does the proposed occupancy change affect required parking? If so, refer to Traffic.

If the project scope is a tenant improvement, remodel or addition less than 2,000 square feet what should I remember?

● Existing legally non-conforming development does not have to meet current standards.

● New landscaped areas are not required unless new parking areas are proposed.

● Screening of existing mechanical equipment or parking is not required (new equipment and parking must be screened).

When do I use the Planning Commission Policy and what does the Planning Commission Policy require?

Use the Planning Commission policy for complete exterior structural remodeling of commercial uses.

● New landscaping is to be provided in existing planters that no longer have trees.

● The policy requires the introduction of new landscape planters at ends of parking rows and approximate 100’ spacing between rows.

● If the parking provided exceeds 10% of required parking, then full landscape planters are to be provided.

● If the parking provided is not more than 10% required parking, then diamond planters are to be provided to conserve existing parking and to provide additional landscaping.

What do I do when there are buildings over property lines?

No action is required for existing buildings built over property lines if the properties are currently owned by the same owner.

● No action is required for additions or new buildings that do not cross property lines.

● For additions or new buildings that would cross over property lines: a replat or covenant agreement with the building official is required.

Refer to Infill Incentive and Adaptive Reuse policies for additional guidelines.

When new parking spaces should meet current parking stall and drive aisle requirements:

New parking associated with new developments. When more that 50 new parking spaces are proposed.

When an updated tenant list should be required:

When there is a change of use that increases the parking requirements on a site. When a cross access agreement should be required:

When one is needed to meet the parking ordinances. When a new structure is being constructed. Building additions less than 2,000 square feet alone should

not justify the requirement for the agreement. When a new property line is created.

When accessible spaces should be required:

Any parking lot constructed after April 3, 1991 should meet current ordinances. On parking lots constructed prior to April 3, 1991, with a change of occupancy, a minimum of one

accessible space should be provided with an accessible route. Existing parking spaces may be converted to an accessible space. If the total number of spaces then

does not meet current parking requirements, the parking lot will be considered legally non-conforming. When driveway retrofits should be required:

Retrofits should not be required unless 2,000 square feet or greater of building area is being constructed. On sites that contain multiple driveways; i.e., shopping centers, only the driveways that are adjacent to

the new construction should be required to be retrofitted. When driveways should be widened:

When less that 2000 sq. ft. of building area is being added and the driveways in question are located on local streets the driveways should not be widened.

When driveways located on arterial or collector streets are less than 20’ wide (12’ for one-way drives)

staff should consult with the Traffic Code Consistency Coordinator. Driveways greater than 24’ should be permitted to remain in any circumstance.

Guidelines for Commercial and Multi-Family Construction

When do you ask for Off-Site Improvements? When site improvements and additions are less than 2,000 square feet:

No right-of-way dedications, sidewalk easements, or street improvements are required.

Driveways do not need to be retrofitted or widened on local streets. On collectors or arterials driveways have to be a minimum of 20 feet wide.

If the driveway is less than 20 feet in width on collectors or arterials, consult with Traffic Code Consistency Coordinator.

No offsite landscape areas are required.

Driveways to be changed from Residential to Commercial are required to comply with Commercial Standards.

When site improvements, new development, or building additions exceed 2,000 square feet, off-site improvements will be required. When do you require Sewer Improvements? Regardless of proposed change of use or change of occupancy, if the existing development is on a septic system and has new tenant improvements, remodeling, or additions:

If no expansion of the existing septic system is required, no tie into the city of Phoenix sewer system is required.

If there are additions that will be served by the existing development’s septic system, these additions must be certified to be within capacity of the existing septic system. Consult Plumbing/Mechanical Reviewer or Code Consistency Coordinator to determine septic system capacity.

If the existing septic system has to be increased, moved, or a new septic system is proposed, then the site must be tied into the existing city sewer main system.

A Technical Appeal is required to waive the requirement for sewer main extension. When do you require Water Improvements?

Under City Ordinance Sec. 37-39. Connection to water mains required: Where property is located upon a street in which a water main is laid, such property shall be connected with the water system. These services shall extend at right angles from the main to the curb lines and shall be installed in accordance with City Standard Detail.

City of Phoenix Planning & Development Department Proportionality Guidelines, Civil – Page 2 of 2 TRT/DOC/00456

Under City Ordinance Sec. 37-33 (a). Extensions in subdivisions, single lot, and sub-lot developments and all other developments: In all new subdivisions and single lot developments, and all other developments, other than a single residence on a single lot, where the city is to provide water service, the developer shall furnish and install in accordance with plans approved by the Planning & Development Director all water mains, service connections, valves, fittings and appurtenances within the boundary of the development as well as the streets bounding the entire development.

Under City Ordinance Sec. 37-33 (c). Extensions in subdivisions, single lot, and sub-lot developments and all other developments: (c): Where no water main is existing along the frontage of a single, existing, residential lot zoned for single-family use (R1-6 through Re-43), and the developer of the single lot requests water service, sufficient length of main shall be constructed by the developer to extend the new main from an existing water main to the point of the requested service connection plus an additional ten feet. If the Water and Sewers Director determines after a review of the size, length, and location of the line, that an approach main repayment agreement is practical, and the applicant desires to enter into such an agreement, the new water main shall be constructed to and across the entire lot frontage.

Inadequate capacity in the existing water lines – If the existing main cannot provide adequate water volumes or fire flow pressures for the anticipated development, a more robust water system will be required to connect to existing water lines. Generally, these are looped to connect two different mains to create more pressure.

Existing substandard water lines – The existence of older substandard mains will not eliminate the requirement of water distribution lines to be constructed along the parcel boundaries of new development.

A Technical Appeal is required to waive the requirement for water main extension. When do you ask for a Grading and Drainage Plan? When new site improvements and/or building area exceed 2,000 square feet, a Grading and Drainage Plan will be required. Refer to Infill Incentive and Adaptive Reuse policies for reduction in retention requirements for these types of developments. When new site improvements, total disturbed area, and/or additions are less than 2,000 square feet, if less than one foot of fill or two feet of cut, the fill does not exceed 100 cubic yards, and there are no impacts on adjacent properties:

No grading plans or additional retention is required.

The new building finish floor elevation can be shown on the Site Plan or Building Plot Plan, but this finished floor elevation must be certified by a registered Civil Engineer. Flood Plain designation will also be required to be shown on site plan.

If new fuel stations are being added to the site, consult with the Civil Code Consistency Coordinator.

Checklist

This publication can be made available in alternate formats (Braille, large print, computer diskette, or audiotape) upon request. Contact Planning and Development at (602) 262-7811 voice or (602) 534-5500 TTY. S:\Parking Lot Checklist TRT/DOC/00627 WEB\dsd_trt_pdf_00627 New 6/11

Determine the number of parking spaces required based on the chart located in City of

Phoenix Zoning Ordinance Section 702.C and document on the site plan. Document the number of parking spaces provided on the site. Document the number of accessible spaces required based on the chart located in City of

Phoenix Zoning Ordinance Section 702.G using the number of parking spaces provided on the site.

Verify that the accessible spaces provided are located as close to the building entrance as possible and are distributed throughout the site as appropriate.

Verity that the accessible spaces provided meet the dimension, signing and striping requirements as shown on the Accessible Parking Requirements handout located in the Parking Guidelines.

Provide an accessible route from the building to the accessible parking space and from the building to the public right-of-way.

Determine the number of 10’ X 30’ loading berths required based on the chart located in City of Phoenix Zoning Ordinance Section 702 (VI-B).

When it is determined that a shared parking model may be appropriate to reduce the parking requirements per the City of Phoenix Zoning Ordinance Section 702.E.2 contact the Planning and Development Traffic Engineer for more information.

For retail centers, refer to the Retail Center Parking Procedure to determine the parking requirements.

Developments located in UR, RO, TOD, DC and Warehouse Overlay Districts may have different and or reduced parking requirements.

Verify that the parking space and drive aisle dimension meet the requirements set forth in City of Phoenix Zoning Ordinance Section 702.B.2.

When angled parking is proposed, verify the dimensions using the Parking Area Dimensions found in the Parking Guidelines handout.

Note that the City of Phoenix utilizes a 2.5’ overhang, so parking spaces located adjacent to curb or sidewalk may be 15.5’ long. Any sidewalks located next to parking must be 6.5’ wide to account for the overhang.

When dead end aisles longer than 100’ are proposed, a 10’ X 40’ turnaround should be provided. This can be accomplished by striping out a parking space.

Verify that any surfaces that are subject to vehicular traffic are either asphalt or concrete. Alternative surfaces must be approved by the Zoning Administrator.

Gate Controlled Access Requirements

Policy

Page 1 of 3 For more information or for a copy of this publication in an alternate format, contact Planning & Development at (602) 262-7811 voice / (602) 534-5500 TTY. S:\Priviate\Gate Controlled Access Requirements Policy TRT/DOC/00409 WEB\Self Cert Parking Handouts Rev. 3/09

Background The popularity of gated entrances for subdivisions, multi-family projects and parking lots is growing due to the perceived need for security. When gate-controlled access is used, turnarounds must be provided to ensure safe and efficient travel on adjacent streets. Definition Gate-controlled access is defined as any entrance to a site that is designed to regulate vehicular access. Ingress and egress may be regulated by an operational guard station, with or without gates, or through a gate that is operated by an electronically controlled device activated by a card reader, keypad, home owner remote, a security service or any other means. Requirements 1. The centerline of the controller device in the private street or driveway shall be 50’

(minimum) from the extension of the face of curb of the public street. This will allow a two (2) car queue without obstructing adjacent street traffic.

2. Passenger vehicles denied access to the site for any reason shall be enabled to exit the Site with a single forward turning movement. This movement is not to conflict with other vehicles entering the site.

3. Service vehicles denied access to the site for any reason shall be enabled to exit the site by means of a multiple forward and backward turning movement. The first forward motion is to move the vehicle out of the path of any vehicle that may have queued behind it and allow the vehicle to pass, unhindered, into the site.

4. All turning movements shall be accomplished in front of the gate and beyond the keypad. 5. The mounting of 8 square feet of reflectors or reflective material shall be required on both

faces of the vehicular gates. Lighting may be substituted for the reflective material if the lighting illuminates the entire gate area and is in full operation from dusk until dawn. It is important that the gate be visible from the adjacent public street at all times.

6. Gates may not be placed on public streets. 7. Fire Department approval will also be required for evaluation of emergency access. 8. While designing the entrance other issues to consider include:

a. Access required by vehicles and staff of the Solid Waste Division of Public Works b. Mail delivery c. Utility (meter reader) access d. Effects on internal circulation e. Effect on any existing Planning & Development Department stipulations f. Impact on adjacent driveways g. Other potentially detrimental effects in or around the site

City of Phoenix Planning & Development Department Gate Controlled Access Requirements Policy – Page 2 of 3 TRT/DOC/00409

Exceptions

1. If the entrance is a secondary access point or a primary access point located on a local

street or a minor collector, the requirements for long wheelbase vehicles may be relaxed. However, the turnaround requirements for passenger vehicles will still apply. (See Figure 2).

2. If the entrance is a secondary access point and is designated as “residents only” or as exit only, the turnaround requirements may be waived. The “residents only” gates must be operated via remote access exclusively. If this entrance is located off of an arterial or collector, the gates shall be set back a minimum of 25’ from the extension of the curb face on the intersecting street. “Resident Only” or “Exit Only – Do Not Enter” signs shall be posted on the exterior face of the gate.

3. If the gates are to remain open from 6:00 am to 7:00 pm for residential projects, the turnaround requirements for entrances located on local streets and minor collectors only may be waived.

4. If the gates are to remain open during business hours for commercial projects, the turnaround requirements may be waived.

5. Access points with manned guard stations may have the turnaround requirements waived, if the guard allows unauthorized vehicles to enter the site in order to turn around.

6. If the keypad is located at least 200’ from the intersecting public street the requirements for long wheelbase vehicles may be waived provided there is some type of maneuvering area.

7. Secondary entrances to parking garages located on local streets may have the turnaround requirements waived.

8. Gates that are activated by any and all vehicles entering the site will not be required to provide turnarounds.

9. Other conditions or technology that allow smooth access operation and does not affect traffic flow may allow the turnaround requirements to be waived.

Exhibits The following figures are examples of gate-controlled entrances that meet all of the previously described requirements. Figure 1 shows the standard arterial street access point. Figure 2 shows an entrance with the long wheelbase vehicle requirements relaxed. Applicants may suggest creative alternatives to these examples provided they meet all of the requirements outlined herein.

for Retail Centers Guideline

This publication can be made available in alternate formats (Braille, large print, computer diskette, or audiotape) upon request. Contact Planning and Development at (602) 262-7811 voice or (602) 534-5500 TTY. S:\Parking Calculations, Retail Centers TRT/DOC/00626 WEB\dsd_trt_doc_00626 New 6/11

Parking Calculations for Centers Built After 1999 • Subtract any area designated as hotels, theaters, schools and medical offices from gross

area. This new area will be hereafter referred to as adjusted gross area (AGA). Parking for hotels, theaters, schools and medical offices shall be calculated separately. (A)

• Calculate 1 space per 250 square feet for the tenant leaseable area (typically 95% of AGA). (B)

• Determine the percentage of gross public assembly uses (Gross Public Assembly/AGA X 100%). If the gross public assembly exceeds 20%, a parking surcharge will be required.

• Determine the area of gross public assembly uses that exceeds 20%. This area will be called surcharge area (SA). Determine the ratio of each type of public assembly use (i.e. restaurants, outdoor dining, health clubs, etc.) and split up the SA into each use.

• Calculate the surcharge using the base parking requirements for each use. The net area for the SA (i.e. 65% for restaurants, 100% for outdoor dining, 80% for health clubs, etc.) should be used for the calculation. (C)

• To avoid double charging for the same area, subtract 1 space per 250 square feet of the tenant leaseable area of the SA. (D)

• Determine the total parking required. (A + B + C – D = Total Required)

Parking Calculations for Centers Built Prior to 1999 • Subtract any area designated as hotels, theaters, schools, fitness centers and medical

offices from gross area. This new area will be hereafter referred to as adjusted gross area (AGA). Parking for hotels, theaters, schools, fitness centers and medical offices shall be calculated separately. (A)

• Calculate 1 space per 250 square feet for the tenant leaseable area (typically 95% of AGA). (B)

• Determine the percentage of net public assembly uses (Net Public Assembly/AGA X 100%). If the net public assembly exceeds 15%, a parking surcharge will be required.

• Calculate the surcharge at 1 space per 100 square feet for the net public assembly area. (C)

• Determine the total parking required. (A + B + C = Total Required)

These guidelines outline all city requirements in obtaining a parking approval. For further information, contact Planning & Development Department - Traffic Review at 200 W. Washington, 2nd Floor, Phoenix, Arizona 85003 or call (602) 262-7811. A. Submittal Requirements (check one)

Design Review (Site Plan required)

Projects that require design review need to incorporate all issues Items B - F of these guidelines. Additional requirements may be discussed at the pre-application conference (Major Review), or with the Counter Team (Minor Review).

Exempted from Design Review (Plot Plan required)

The plot plan is a required drawing that is submitted to the city for parking review and approval prior to permit issuance for developments that do not require site plan approval. This drawing is to address the following:

1. Plot Plan drawn to scale (1"-30' or larger) and incorporating required information per Attachment 1. 2. Plot Plan to incorporate items B-F of these guidelines. 3. A copy of this plot plan must be included in all submittals to "Building Safety" for review and permit.

B. Setbacks

Building and landscape setbacks from the property lines will be required based on the zoning district of the affected property. Parking cannot be placed in the required front yard setback of single family lots without a zoning variance. Consult Chapter Six (6) of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance for specific zoning setback dimensions and further information. (NOTE: In single-family zoning districts, "non-required" parking may be placed in up to 35% of front yard.)

NOTE: All building and landscape setbacks are measured from existing right-of-way (if at ultimate location) or future (ultimate) right-of-way as shown on the Street Classification Map.

C. Parking Design There are three basic patterns of parking lot layouts. The minimum dimensions are given in Attachments 2 through 7:

1. Type of Parking

a. 90 Degree Parking Most efficient use of space (most parking spaces per square foot of parking) Accommodates two-way traffic An aisle of 26' is required. Reductions possible subject to approval by city traffic specialists, if

available space is limited and spaces wider than the minimum are provided.

b. Angle Parking Can be used where width of parking area is limited. Can provide directional control of traffic. One-way Driveways are to be signed "IN and "OUT" at the street entrance, along with pavement

marked with arrows in the driveways. Two-way aisles will not be less than 20' in width.

c. Parallel Parking Should not normally be used behind 90 degree parking Must have adequate maneuvering space to enter and exit safely

City of Phoenix Planning & Development Department Parking Guidelines – Page 2 of 4 TRT/DOC/00070

NOTE: All maneuvering and parking spaces must be provided on private property, with the exception of single-family homes and duplexes, which may maneuver in the right-of-way or alley.

2. Parking Space Size

a. Standard/Compact Spaces Normal 90-degree spaces: standard spaces for retail/assembly are 9.5’ wide, 19’ deep; for multi-family residential/industrial/office are 8.5’ wide x 18’ deep. See Attachments 2 through 7.

9’ spaces may be used for less than 50% of retail/assembly spaces providing double striped parking spaces are used.

Compact parking dimensions may only be used for spaces in excess of required parking spaces and shall be laid out in the lowest use areas of the site.

Compact spaces are 8' wide, by 16' deep.

b. Accessible Spaces

The number of accessible spaces must be provided per Section 702 .6 of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance.

All accessible spaces shall be 11' wide; 18' deep with an additional 5’ access aisle on the right side of the accessible space for ingress/egress from the vehicle. Such spaces will be designated with signs displaying the international symbol for accessible parking. (Attachment 8)

Adjacent accessible spaces can share the 5'x18' access aisle.

Ramps are not to be located in the access aisle.

The ratio of public covered accessible stalls to other covered parking stalls must equal overall ADA ratios.

Accessible spaces should be located to facilitate ease of access to building. Spaces should be in close proximity to sidewalks/building entrances.

Accessible spaces shall be striped on all sides, unless bordered by curb.

Accessible walk aisles should not be located behind more than one (1) parked vehicle.

3. Paving

All parking areas must consist of a "dust free" surface as per Section 702 of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance. Such parking areas must be stripped to indicate parking spaces. Alternative dust-free surfaces must be approved by the Zoning Administrator. Dust free, typically will be asphalt paving or concrete; decomposed granite will not be considered as a "dust free" surface except for single-family.

4. Safety Curbing

Six-inch high curbing is required around all parking and maneuvering areas to confine vehicle circulation to parking areas and prevent circulation beyond property lines.

Safety curbs inside of parking lots are discouraged because of possible trash accumulation problems, motorists driving forward over the curb, and pedestrian safety.

5. Visibility Triangles

Visibility triangles are required at all driveway entrances alleys and intersecting streets. Nothing should be placed in these areas that exceed 36" in height (walls, landscaping or trees greater than one foot in diameter). Tree canopies should be no lower than 8’-10'. Please show these triangles on the site plan, landscape plan or plot plan.


Visibility Triangles - Measured along the property lines.

Intersecting Streets

Size Driveway or Alley to Street

Arterial-Arterial 33’ x 33’ 10’ (into site or alley) x 20’ (along property line) Arterial-Collector 33’ x 33’ Arterial-Local 33' x 15' Collector-Collector 33' x 33' Collector- Local 33' x 33' Local-Local 33' x 33'

D. Landscape Requirements

Generally, landscaping is required between all parking lots and public streets. Depending on the zoning district, a minimum of five percent of the surface parking lot, exclusive of perimeter landscaping and front setbacks, must be landscaped per Section 702 and Section 507 of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance. Additional landscaping may be required along the perimeter of the parking lot. Perimeter and interior planting areas must be a minimum of 5' in width (exclusive of curbing and vehicle overhang).

Plant materials shall be from the list of drought tolerant plants as outlined in the Arizona Landscape Department Water Resource list.

E. Visual Screening

An effective 3' visual screen is required in front of all parking areas that are visible from the public street. Screening along the perimeter of the lot may also be required depending on the zoning of adjacent property. Walls adjacent to driveways are to be 30" in height for 20' on either side of driveway.

F. Drainage

Site plans or parking plans should indicate the path of the stormwater drainage, location of catch basins and all other stormwater management devices, as well as any areas of stormwater retention. For further information refer to the "Storm Drain Design Manual." A grading and drainage plan may be required for sites over half an acre.

G. Driveways (P1255 Series, C.O.P. Detail 1, 2, or 3)

The following policies have been established for driveways:

Driveways must be constructed to city standards under a permit issued by the Planning & Development Department.

Single-family residential driveways should be located a minimum of 4' from the curb radius return on a corner lot.

An accessible walkway must be provided around the perimeter of ALL driveways to provide a minimum cross slope of 50:1.

Existing unused driveways must be replaced by curb, gutter and sidewalk built to city standards.

Driveway connections should be located at points that facilitate the efficient entry and exit of vehicles and minimize conflicts with traffic on the streets or neighboring properties.

A single parcel or contiguous parcels comprising one development should be limited to one driveway, unless traffic volume or street frontage warrants additional driveways.

On major arterial and arterial streets, the sharing of driveways between adjacent properties and common ingress/egress easements are strongly encouraged. Existing driveways that are unnecessary or substandard should be removed or upgraded in conjunction with any new on-site or street construction.

On major arterial and arterial streets, large developments should consolidate major driveways at 1/4 or 1/8 mile locations and align them with driveways on the opposite side of the street.


Driveway Width Policy (See Attachment 9)

Driveways to corner lots should be located as far away from the intersection as is practical.

Driveways are prohibited within the passenger waiting area of bus stops unless relocation of the facility is approved by Public Transit. Driveways should be located such that bus stop improvements are beyond the projection of driveway visibility triangles and drivers will be able to see around bus stop improvements, both existing and planned. Driveways are not to be located within the flat portion of the bus bay (bus parking area.)

Driveways may taper to match aisle width on private property (3 to 1 max).

The top of wings for all driveways shall be located a minimum of 2'6" from property lines.

Note: The Driveway Ordinance prohibits access from commercial property to alleys that abut residential property. Access to alleys must be applied for and shall be considered by the Driveway Hearing Officer. Contact our traffic reviewers for additional information.

Request to Use Alternative Dustproofing Materials Parking, maneuvering, ingress/egress areas, and outdoor storage areas may be improved without obtaining an Alternative Dustproofing Letter by paving with one of the following materials, subject to obtaining appropriate permits: 1. For All Zoning Districts

a. Asphaltic Concrete – Two (2) inches of asphaltic concrete over four (4) inches of aggregate base course (ABC). If the aggregate materials are not uniformly blended together water shall be added and the materials blended and rolled to a uniform layer of the required thickness. The material shall then be compacted to a relative density of ninety (90) per cent and the asphalt applied as per Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) Specifications Section 321.

b. Cement Concrete – four (4) inches of Portland Cement Concrete Pavement over two (2) inches

of ABC. If the aggregate materials are not uniformly blended together water shall be added and the materials blended and rolled to a uniform layer of the required thickness. The material shall then be compacted to a relative density of ninety (90) per cent and the asphalt applied as per MAG Specifications Section 324.

c. Porous asphalt/porous concrete – a geotextile material such as Mirafi 500X or approved equal,

placed over the prepared subgrade prior to aggregate base; a filter course of one and one-half (1 ½) inch diameter gravel base compacted to two (2) inches thick and placed above the fabric filter; a stone reservoir course of two and one-half (2 ½) to three (3) inch thick aggregate compacted to a thickness of twelve (12) to eighteen (18) inches shall be placed above the filter course for water storage prior to and during filtration. An upper filter course of one and one half (1½) inch diameter gravel base compacted to two (2) inch thickness shall be placed above the reservoir course. The porous pavement shall be placed above the upper filter course in a minimum depth of four (4) inches. This course should remain ten (10) feet from building foundations. A perimeter stone filter inlet shall be placed around the edges of porous pavement installations to ensure that run-off enters the stone filter reservoir if surface clogging of the pavement occurs.

d. Bituminous Material – Four (4) inches of ABC treated with a prime coat as per MAG

Specification Section 315, OR sealed with prime coat as per MAG Specification 315, OR sealed with two (2) lifts of asphalt chip seal, as per MAG Specification 400.

e. Penetration treatment of bituminous material and seal coat of bituminous binder and a mineral

aggregate per MAG Specification Section 313.

2. Residential Uses

a. For Single Family Detached (including manufactured homes in subdivisions), Duplexes, or Multifamily Complexes with eight (8) or fewer units per site:

1) Dustproofed areas shall include all areas in the required front yard (35% maximum), rear

and side yards that are used for required and/or excess parking or maneuvering of motorized/non-motorized vehicles. Materials shall include crushed rock or gravel, no smaller than one-quarter (¼) inch and no larger than three-quarter (¾) inch maintained to a minimum depth of two (2) inches and contained within a permanent border. The permanent border, including berms, landscape hedges, fencing, block or similar materials must clearly delineate the parking and maneuvering area from the rest of the yard and contain the gravel. Applications require routine maintenance to ensure subsurface remains covered and free of weeds and litter. These types of dust proofing applications shall be treated with a dust palliative such as Marloc™, Soil Sement™ or similar environmentally-friendly product.

2) Porous asphalt pavers or stone pavers. A geotextile material such as Mirafi 500X or

approved equal, placed over the prepared subgrade prior to aggregate base. One and one half (1½) inches of bedding sand shall be placed on compacted aggregate base conforming to ASTM C 33. Sand must be screened and have a uniform moisture content. Use of masonry sand is prohibited.

3) Interlocking concrete pavers - Placed over a prepared subgrade of decomposed granite

or aggregate gravel, conforming to ASTM D 2940 and compacted to a minimum of eight (8) inches. One and one half (1 ½) inches of bedding sand shall be placed over the aggregate gravel base and conform to ASTM C 33. Sand must be screened and have a uniform moisture content (use of masonry sand prohibited)

4) Open-grid system interlocking concrete pavers - A geotextile material such as Mirafi

500X or approved equal, placed over the prepared subgrade prior to aggregate base. An aggregate base of gravel, compacted to an eight (8) inch thickness that extends a minimum of six (6) inches beyond the edge of the paving area and conforming to ASTM D 2940. One and one half (1 ½) inches of bedding sand shall be placed over the aggregate gravel base and conform to ASTM C 33. Sand must be screened and have a uniform moisture content (use of masonry sand prohibited). The paving units shall be placed on a sand bedding with a minimum joint spacing of one-sixteenth (1/16) of an inch.

b. Multi-family Complexes (including mobile home parks) with nine (9) or more units per

site:

1) Porous asphalt pavers or stone pavers - A geotextile material such as Mirafi 500X or approved equal, placed over the prepared subgrade prior to aggregate base. One and one half (1½) inches of bedding sand shall be placed on compacted aggregate base conforming to ASTM C 33. Sand must be screened and have a uniform moisture content. Use of masonry sand is prohibited.



2) Interlocking concrete pavers - Subgrade should be compacted at least 98% Proctor density prior to placing the aggregate base. Minimum aggregate base should be four (4) to six (6) inches. One and one half (1½) inches of bedding sand shall be placed on compacted aggregate base conforming to ASTM C 33. Sand must be screened and have a uniform moisture content. Use of masonry sand is prohibited. Pavers placed over sand course with some form of edge restraint bordering the pavers. Once the pavers are placed in their specified pattern, they are compacted into the bedding sand with a plate compactor.

3. Commercial Uses, Hotels, Motels, Dormitories, and Industrial Uses

Alternative dustproofing will be limited to areas used for open storage areas only. Equipment maneuvering areas or drive aisles may qualify for the use of alternative paving, depending on review of the nature of intended use. Employee and customer parking, main circulation drives and vehicle maneuvering areas MUST be paved.

Note: There are no nonconforming surfaces (grandfathered rights) for parking and/or

maneuvering areas. If you would like to improve surfaces with a material other than what is described above, requests must be accompanied by the “Alternative Dustproofing Application” included at the end of this document. If the Alternative Dustproofing Application is approved, appropriate permits must be obtained from the Development Division of the Planning and Development Department.

Issue Date: December 9, 2004 Code/Section: Storm Water Policies and Standards, Section 6.8 Developed By: Andy Granger, PE, Civil Engineering Supervisor

The purpose of this memo is to provide clarification to interpretation of the new city of Phoenix Storm Water Policies and Standards Section 6.8 which states - “Side slopes of storm water storage facilities shall be no steeper than 5:1 for irrigated grass areas and 3:1 for landscaped areas. The drainage plans must provide slope stabilization measures for all slopes steeper than 5:1. The slope stabilization measures must be readily maintainable using common maintenance equipment and be designed with consideration to aesthetics. The slope stabilization measures shall be consistent with commonly used engineering practices. Unstabilized decomposed granite is not allowed on slopes greater than 5:1.” For ALL retention basins to be maintained by the city AND retention basins greater than 1 acre (bottom surface area) to be maintained by a HOA, the above policy shall be followed. For retention basins less than 1 acre not to be maintained by the city, side slopes may be 4:1 (grass or desert landscape) without additional slope stabilization measures. Steeper slopes up to 3:1 must follow the guidelines above for slope stabilization. Any deviation from this policy must be approved by the Civil Engineering Supervisor.
