About this file
This document is a regulatory specification from the City of Tucson, Arizona, defining the position and responsibilities of a Design Professional (DP) within the city's planning and development framework. The Design Professional position serves two primary functions: reviewing building permits for projects within Neighborhood Preservation Zone (NPZ) overlays for compliance with applicable design manuals, and reviewing proposed buildings, structures, landscaping, architectural features, subdivisions, development plans, and site plans in accordance with the Unified Development Code (UDC). The DP is appointed by the Mayor and Council upon recommendation from the Planning and Development Services Director and must be a registered architect, preferably with historic preservation experience, for NPZ reviews, or a registered architect or landscape architect for subdivision reviews. The position involves conducting design reviews, providing written reports with findings and recommendations to the PDSD Director, and reviewing Flexible Lot Development (FLD) projects for compliance with specific architectural, functional, and mitigation standards.
The Design Professional may recommend conditions on project approvals to mitigate design impacts on development zones and surrounding residential areas and may recommend projects that meet specific findings related to public health, safety, light and air provisions, and nuisance prevention. The DP must comply with the City of Tucson's ethics and conflict of interest policies and administrative directives, avoiding professional services on projects where judgment could be compromised by competing interests or responsibilities. Additional responsibilities may be assigned by the PDSD Director as needed for UDC implementation. This specification aligns with the City of Tucson's On Call Architect Review Services procurement, which seeks multiple qualified consultants to provide miscellaneous architect review services as detailed in the corresponding Scope of Work.
