| 02/23/2026 | Site Zoning - Standard | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PDSD TRANSMITTAL FROM: Bobby Parsons Zoning Section Review PROJECT: TC-FBB-1125-00127 Parcel # 116200880 Containers on vacant lot (2nd Review) TRANSMITTAL DATE: 2/23/2026 The site is zoned C-3 (UDC 4.7.22) Comments: Please resubmit revised drawings along with a detailed response letter which states how all Zoning Review Section comments were addressed. 1. Comment: Previous comment 1 not addressed. The Unified Development Code 6.6.2.B states “In all zones, an accessory building shall be built only on a lot occupied by a principal building or use”. This lot is vacant so the proposed storage containers cannot be permitted in the current state of the parcel. If you wish to proceed, either provide a principal building or use on the lot or do a lot combination with the parcel you own to the South. A lot combination can be applied for through the Pima County Assessor’s Office. The lot combination request form can be found here: https://www.asr.pima.gov/Downloads/Forms/ComboRequest.pdf. If the proposed use will be commercial, then a Development Package will be required as well. https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Permits/Development-Package. 2. Comment: Previous comment 2 still needs to be addressed. As this site is located within the COT Downtown Core and Rio Nuevo Area (RNA), RNA review must be completed and approved prior to zoning approval of this building permit. Please contact Maria Gayosso at Maria.Gayosso@tucsonaz.gov if you have questions about the RNA review process. Site Zoning cannot approve this permit until the RNA review has been approved. Additional information about RNA requirements can be found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/3/pdsd/documents/planning-amp-zoning/rna-application-and-review-process.pdf. 3. Comment: The minimum required front street setback is 20 feet. Either relocate the proposed containers to meet the minimum required front street setback or have this requirement addressed through the RNA design review process. 4. Comment: Additional comments may be forthcoming depending on responses to zoning review comments and plans submitted. If you have any questions about this transmittal, please contact Bobby Parsons at Robert.Parsons@tucsonaz.gov. |
