| 06/05/2026 | Residential Engineering | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | Permit Activity Number: TC-MDP-0526-00338 (1st Review) Project: New 2BD 1BA Single Unit Model 100 (Model Master Plan TC-MDP-0326-00103) Location: 114 W KELSO ST Review Date: 6/5/2026 Reviewer: Marco Contreras – Engineering Associate - Site Engineering Reviewer Contact: Marco.contreras@tucsonaz.gov Related cases: Plan review for the above referenced structure has been completed. This letter reflects comments to be addressed to ensure final approval from Site Engineering. To help speed up your resubmittal and facilitate shorter review timelines, please include a response letter along with your updated plans and any supporting calculations. In your response letter, address each comment individually and explain what changes were made and where they can be found in the plans. Please do not mark or highlight changes in the drawings at this stage — revision markups are only used after a permit has been issued. Submit your response letter and updated plan set as two separate files. Site Engineering Review Comments: 1. The City of Tucson Inclusive Home Design Ordinance requires all new dwellings — including ADUs, single-family residences, and duplexes — to provide an accessible route connecting the public street, sidewalk, or driveway to an accessible entrance of the home. This pathway must be shown, dimensioned, and labeled on the plans. What this means in plain terms: There needs to be a clearly defined, walkable path from where a person arrives (the street, sidewalk, or driveway) all the way to a usable door of the home — one that someone using a wheelchair or mobility aid could navigate without barriers. An exterior accessible route that shall conform to 2017 ICC A117.1 Sections 402 and 403 and City of Tucson Inclusive Home Design Ordinance. 2.

| 05/26/2026 | Residential Zoning | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PDSD TRANSMITTAL FROM: Erick Bieber Planning & Development Services Department – Zoning Review Section PROJECT: TC-MDP-0526-00338 114 W Kelso St, Tucson, AZ 85705 Residential Model Permit (1st Review) TRANSMITTAL DATE: May 26th, 2026 This site is zoned O-3 (UDC Section 4.7.15). A duplex is a permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-5) subject to Use Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.12 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 were addressed. 1. (Comment) Per UDC 7.6.8, all new residential developments consisting of 1-4 units require basic native, drought resistant landscaping to be indicated on the site plan. a. Per UDC 7.6.8.A.1, one canopy tree is required for every 1,000sqft of GFA of the development project. (1-1,000sqft = 1 tree, 1,001-2,000 = 2 trees) b. Per UDC 7.6.8.A.2, Provide 5 square feet of vegetated groundcover per linear foot of street frontage (excluding curb cuts). Existing groundcover counts toward this requirement. Please show and dimension this area on the site plan. c. Indicate plant species for both the vegetative groundcover and canopy trees to ensure that they are approved plant species. See the link below to learn more about approved plant species. d. Existing landscaping may be used to meet landscaping standards but must be indicated and labeled on the site plan. To learn more about the new residential landscaping code, please visit the following link: https://middle-housing-cotgis.hub.arcgis.com/pages/Residential-Landscaping-Code 2. (Comment) Please indicate the required parking on the site plan. Per UDC Table 7.4.4-1, 1 space is required per dwelling unit. Per UDC 4.9.7.B.12, required parking may also be met with on-street parking or waived if the site is within a quarter-mile walking distance of an “All Ages and Abilities Bikeway” as defined by the Department of Transportation and Mobility or a public transit route. Parking provided is exempt from Section 7.6.4 Landscape Standards. 3. (Comment) Zoning can not locate permits for the fence in front of 120 W Kelso St. Please add the fence to the scope of work for the project. 4. (Comment) The drawing list provided on the cover sheet indicates a demolition plan, but one is not provided. Please provide a demolition plan if any structures are being demolished. 5. (Comment) The plan set appears to be missing a lot coverage calculation. Please add a lot coverage calculation that includes the square footage of all structures on site (excluding porches open on at least one side), as well as the square footage of the vehicular use areas. Then, divide by the lot size to find the lot coverage percentage. To view example site plans which include lot coverage calculations, please visit the following link: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Permits/Plan-Examples/Site-Plan-Examples The Unified Development Code (UDC) can be found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Codes/Zoning-Code For questions regarding Zoning comments, please contact me at: Erick.Bieber@tucsonaz.gov |
