| 12/16/2025 | Site Zoning Standard | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PDSD TRANSMITTAL FROM: Fernando Garcia Planning & Development Services Department – Zoning Review Section PROJECT: TC-COM-1125-02118 731 W 40th ST Sober Living Home – Residential Care Service TRANSMITTAL DATE: December 16, 2025 This site is located in an R-2 zone (UDC 4.7.9). “Residential Care Service, Adult Care or Physical and Behavioral Health Service,” up to a maximum of 10 residents, is a permitted use in the R-2 zone subject to use-specific standards 4.9.7.J.2.a, 3.a, and 4. RESUBMITTAL OF THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED: Revised plans, as noted in the comment below, along with a detailed letter indicating responses to the review comments. 1. (COMMENT) Clarify the listed use as “Residential Care Service, Adult Care or Physical and Behavioral Health Service (Sober Living Home)” in the Code Review section on Sheet C1.0. 2. (COMMENT) Aerial photography and Google Street View imagery of this site shows an existing fence connecting this parcel to the neighboring parcels to the east and south. Draw, dimension, and label this fence on the site plan and indicate its height. Demonstrate how this parcel functions independently and separately from the neighboring parcels, which demonstrate a history of also operating as residential care services. Separation should be shown as a fence or wall between this parcel and the others; otherwise, this parcel may be considered as part of a single site with those parcels, which may require a commercial development package, and/or a special exception procedure to approve given the increase in total size and number of residents. 3. (COMMENT) UDC Section 7.4.4-1 requires that a residential care service serving up to 10 residents provide 4 parking spaces on site. One of these parking spaces must be ADA van accessible and demonstrate an accessible path to an accessible entry at the home. The proposed parking area appears to be inaccessible given the existing fence (and the presence only of a pedestrian, rather than vehicular gate) in the front yard visible on imagery from 2024 and 2023. Please clarify. 4. (COMMENT) Further comments may be forthcoming on submittal of the full site plan. If you have any questions about this transmittal, please contact Fernando L. Garcia at fernando.garcia2@tucsonaz.gov. |
