PROJECT: TC-RES-0325-00046
6943 E Julia St., Tucson, AZ 85710
Shipping Container (3rd Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: 10/16/2025

This site is located in the R-1 zone (UDC 4.7.8). A single-family residence is a permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-2) subject to Use Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.5 - .9.

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

1. Staff find no permit records for the 10 x 10 shed shown near the west lot line NW of the residence. Without a zoning review of the shed, approval of the container will not be provided. The side perimeter setback requirement is 6’ in the R-1 zone. If the shed is within 5’ of this setback, please submit a Neighbor Waiver. If no Neighbor Waiver can be obtained, follow the directions in Comment 2, below. Here is a Neighbor Waiver example:

My Name is __________________ and I am the property owner of the property located at 7649 E 31st St. I have reviewed the site plan and have no objection to the structure being located or constructed _ft. from the property line as shown on the site plan.

Signature: ______________________Date:__________________________

Please revisit and submit your site plan with a Neighbor Waiver and show the distance between the shed and the west lot line.

2. If a Neighbor Waiver is not able to be provided, a Design Development Option (DDO) is required per Unified Development Code (UDC) 3.11.1-B. Please submit a DDO application under the Zoning Modification sub-record that has been created. For instructions on how to apply for a sub-record, visit the following link: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/tdc-faq/new-pdfs/sub-records_071425.pdf For additional questions regarding DDOs, contact Mark Castro at Mark.Castro@tucsonaz.gov. Please resubmit your site plan and show the distance between the shed and the west lot line.

3. If the distance between the west property line and the 10x 10 shed is less than 1’, then a Board of Adjustment for Variance must be submitted and approved – a Neighbor Waiver and a DDO will not be accepted if this is the case. Board of Adjustment application/requirements can be found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Planning-Zoning-Applications/Zoning-Administration . The contact for the Board of Adjustment is Mark Castro at Mark.Castro@tucsonaz.gov . Please resubmit your site plan and show the distance between the shed and the west lot line.

4. If the shed is removed or relocated out of the setback, zoning staff will need to see where it has been moved to, or a comment submitted that it has been removed altogether. Please provide a revised site plan if this is the case.

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

If you have any questions about this transmittal, please contact Roxanne Johnston at roxanne.johnston@tucsonaz.gov .
