FROM: PDSD Zoning Review

PROJECT:
TC-RES-0123-02430
1065 W Spruce St. - R-2
New SFR (1st Review)

TRANSMITTAL: March 02, 2023

Provided a detail comment response letter with your submittal that clearly shows how you have addressed all comments with your next submittal.

This site is located in the R-2 zone (UDC 4.7.9). A single-family residence (SFR) is a permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-2). See Use-Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.6, .9, & .10.

1. Based on current aerial photos the provided plot plan does not show all structures that are on site. There are two (2) structures south of the proposed SFR. Either show them to be removed on the plan or provide approved permit documents for these structures. Neither of these structures are meeting perimeter yard setbacks and will require some type of process to reduce the required setbacks. As it appears that the setbacks are less than 1’-0” a Board of Adjustment for Variance will be required to reduce the side street perimeter yard setback and both structures will require a neighbor’s setback waiver for the west perimeter yard setback. Contact Mark Castro at Mark.Castro@tucsonaz.gov for Board of Adjustment for Variance requirements. To secure this neighbor setback waiver the following statement must be provided on the plot plan and be signed and dated by the adjacent property owner(s):
My Name is____________________ and I am the owner of the property located at_______________________. I have reviewed the site plan and I have no objection to structure being located or constructed________ feet from the property line as depicted on the site plan.

Signature: _____________________________

Date: _________________________________
If you are unable to secure the setback waivers if the setback to the west property line is less than 1’-0” a Board of Adjustment for Variance will be required.

2. The drawings are not consistent. The plumbing plan shows a bedroom with walls and all other plans show an open floor plan, studio. Clarify what you are proposing.

3. Clearly show the metal fence on the plan and provide the height of the fence on the plan.
