5401 S 13th Av., Tucson, AZ 85706
Duplex (1st Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: 06/24/2026

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. Until staff review and the Historic Review for TC-DMO-0626-00104 has been completed and approved, the building permit under TC-MDP-0526-00361 cannot be approved.

2. Re-dimension the driveway width. The proposed driveway is 25’. Per UDC 4.8.B.12., front yards are permitted one driveway no more than 20 feet in width and up to 400 square feet of additional vehicular use.

3. Re-dimensioning the driveway width will result in an increase in the landscape groundcover calculations. For example, the lot width is 68.10-1/2’. By subtracting 20’ from the driveway, 49’ (linear feet rounded up) multiplied by 5 sf = 245 sf of required ground cover.

4. Provide a total of two trees. One tree per 1,000 sq. ft is required. If the site constraints prevent tree placement in the front yard, 5 shrubs may be substituted per required tree.

5. Please show the distance of the Palo Verde tree shown on the site plan and the new tree from Comment 4 from the structure’s foundation. All trees need to be planted 5’ away from sidewalks and 10’ away from structures to prevent foundation disturbance. This is measured from the trunks to the structures.

6. Please see Residential Engineering comments regarding the north arrow, alleyway, requirement for a separate Row permit and ADA construction references for the sidewalk.

7. In addition to the revised materials and edits to the site plan, please submit a response letter addressing all staff comments.

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

For questions regarding Zoning comments, please contact me at: Roxanne.Johnston@tucsonaz.gov.
