Conceptual_Land_Use_Plan.pdf

This file is a Conceptual Land Use Plan for the Amphi Housing First Resource Center, a project under the jurisdiction of the City of Tucson, Arizona (Ward 2). The project involves the adaptive reuse of a former Fire Station #8 located at 250 West King Road on a 1.05-acre parcel. The site will be redesignated from R-2 (Medium-Density Residential) zoning to PAD (Planned Area Development) zoning to accommodate a Village Housing District. The primary objective is to add a non-congregate shelter area with an enclosed, climate-controlled semi-permanent structure designed to house restrooms, showers, laundry facilities, storage, and meal preparation areas, while replacing existing leased shower trailers. The project maintains the existing congregate shelter structure (7,000 square feet) within the former station bays and requires a minimum of five parking spaces. Building design specifications include a maximum height of 30 feet, with setbacks ranging from 10 to 20 feet depending on adjacent zoning, and a 5-foot tall masonry and wrought iron screening on property lines. The project team anticipates a six-to-seven-month timeline for completion, with the semi-permanent structure identified as the priority deliverable.

The conceptual plan requires the selected contractor to ensure site design compliance with PAD requirements while addressing Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination to meet City of Tucson environmental standards. The semi-permanent structure must be removable from the site if needed, allowing operational flexibility. The project serves a critical community need by providing a safe environment for adults experiencing homelessness, offering access to essential support services, housing assistance connections, and pet-friendly areas adjacent to the facility. No specific pricing, funding sources, or contract award dates are detailed within this planning document; however, the project supports the continuation and expansion of existing shelter services while transitioning from temporary leased facilities to permanent infrastructure.
