This is a Conceptual Land Use Plan document prepared by the City of Tucson for the Amphi Housing Resource Center project, involving the adaptive reuse of the former Fire Station #8 located at 250 West King Road in Tucson's Ward 2 (North Stone neighborhood). The project encompasses 1.05 acres (Parcel 106-02-225A) and proposes a zoning change from R-2 (Medium-Density Residential) to PAD (Planned Area Development) to accommodate a Village Housing District. The facility will feature a congregate shelter with non-congregate shelter and support services totaling 7,000 square feet, designed to serve 50 to 100 adult bed spaces with restrooms, showers, laundry facilities, storage, pet-friendly zones, and meal preparation areas. The proposed design allows for a maximum building height of 30 feet with specified setbacks (10 feet on north, east, and west sides; 20 feet on south) and includes a 5-foot tall masonry and wrought iron screening on property lines. The project requires five parking spaces per PAD requirements and a 10-foot to 20-foot landscape border depending on adjacent zoning.
