Attached Garage (3rd Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: 10/10/2025

This site is located within the R-2 Zone (UDC 4.7.9). A single-family residence is a permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-2) subject to Use Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.6, .9, & .10.

RESUBMITTAL OF THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED: Please correct plans, as noted in the comments below, along with a response letter indicating how all Site Zoning comments were addressed.

1. On Sheet C1, the site plan indicates that this project is a carport when by UDC it is a garage: UDC 11.4.8 under Definitions-G defines a garage as “A building enclosed with walls or doors on three or more sides used for the parking of one or more motor vehicles”. A carport is defined under UDC 11.4.4. as “A building that does not have walls on two or more sides and is designed for the parking of one or more motor vehicles.” Please change all references on Sheet C1 from a ‘carport’ to a ‘garage.’

2. The lot coverage is calculated by adding the residence, vehicle maneuvering area, garage, and structure to be removed. This does not include the porches. Please recalculate lot coverage.

3. In a December 18, 2023 zoning review, the following comment was made: (Comment) “2. Per UDC Article 6.4.5.C.1.c.(1) For garages, a minimum of 18 feet (the length of a standard parking space) must be provided in front of the garage door so that a full 18-foot parking space is available for parking on site. As the proposed street perimeter yard setback from the garage to the street property line is less than 12’-0” a Board of Adjustment for Variance must be submitted and approved. Board of Adjustment application/requirements can be found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Planning-Zoning-Applications/Zoning-Administration. Contact for the Board of Adjustment is Mark Castro at Mark.Castro@tucsonaz.gov.” This comment still stands however, there is more. The house west side of the house is located within the side setback. Prior to the garage addition, the location of the house within the west side perimeter setback was non-conforming. The garage addition expands a nonconforming use, which is not allowed without a variance. The side setback for the house would now be 7.92’ because the wall height of the house is 12’, which is greater, (as explained in UDC Table 6.3-2.A) than the 6’ perimeter side setback (12’ x 0.66 = 7.92 ft). Please apply for Board of Adjustment variances approval for both the garage and the west side of the house setbacks. Zoning review approval will not be issued until these variances are approved.

4. A note on Sheet C1 “Remove Awning” referencing BP-2, which has been crossed out. Has this been removed and this is why BP-2 was crossed out? Please clarify.

5. Additional comments may be forthcoming depending on responses to zoning review comments and plans submitted for the next review.
