2-06.3.0 FORMAT REQUIREMENTS

3.1   Each sheet shall measure 24 inches by 36 inches and include a minimum one inch margin on left side and one-half inch margin on all other sides to facilitate efficient record keeping. A larger sheet format may be used with the approval of the Planning and Development Services Department (PDSD).

3.2   All mapped data shall be drawn at an engineering scale having no more than 50 feet to the inch. This scale is the minimum accepted to assure the plan will be legible during review and when digitized and/or reduced for record-keeping purposes. The same scale shall be used for all sheets within the set. Smaller scales (60:1 or greater) may be used for some or all of the sheets with the prior approval of PDSD when it is determined legibility and the ability to be digitized and/or reduced for archiving will not be affected.

3.3   All lettering and text (upper or lower case), and numbering, shall be a minimum of three-thirty-seconds inches in height to assure the plan will be legible during review and when digitized and/or reduced for archiving.

3.4   A title block shall be provided in the lower right quadrant of each sheet.

3.5   A three-inch by five-inch space shall be reserved in the lower right quadrant of each sheet for an approval stamp.

3.6   Provide a blank three-inch by five-inch block in the lower right corner of the plan adjacent to the title block on the first sheet of the development package for use by Pima County Addressing.

3.7   A small, project-location map shall be provided in the upper right corner of the cover sheet.

3.8   The north arrow, contour interval, and scale as applicable to each sheet should be placed together in the upper right corner of each sheet.

3.9   The plan drawing shall be oriented with north toward the top of the sheet. If it is not practical to orient north to the top of the sheet, the plan drawing shall be oriented with north to the left side of the sheet.

3.10   A legend that shows and describes all symbols used on the drawing is to be provided, preferably on the first sheet.

3.11   A key plan (if provided) shall be located on the first sheet.
