| 10/09/2025 | Site Zoning - Standard | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PDSD TRANSMITTAL FROM: Jeffrey W. Cassidy, Planner Planning & Development Services Department – Current Zoning Review Section PROJECT: TC-RES-0125-00565 – Residential Building – Remodel SFR 4649 E Timrod St Tucson, AZ 85711 (R-1 Zoning) Site Plan Review – 3rd Review TRANSMITTAL DATE: October 09, 2025 This site is in the R-1 Residence Zone (UDC 4.7.8). A single-family residence is permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-2) subject to Use Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.5 - .9 for 1 unit; 4.9.7.B.1 - .9, & .11 for 2 units (min. 10,000 sq ft lot size required). PLANS AND ELEVATIONS OR DRAWING SET: 1. COMMENT: Previous comment 1/Review #2 was partially addressed. Per UDC 6.4.3.C.1, “Roofed areas, open on at least one side, which provide shelter to exterior areas such as balconies, entrances, stoops, and terraces, provided they are not used for utilities, maintenance, laundry, storage, or motor vehicle parking are excluded from lot coverage calculations.” Zoning roughly backchecked the square footage numbers came up with different square footage numbers than what is depicted. Verify and clarify for accuracy moving forward: Zoning tabulated approximately 1,820 sf for the existing living area / proposed remodel area (versus the 1,699 sf shown). Zoning tabulated approximately 432 sf for the proposed office and 4th bedroom (versus the 324 sf shown). Zoning tabulated approximately 787 sf for the existing driveway and carport (count ed toward driveway as this ends up as the parking spot) area (versus the 384 sf shown). Zoning tabulated approximately 3,039 sf for the existing living area / proposed remodel area (versus the 1,699 sf shown). 2. COMMENT: Previous comment 2/Review #2 was partially addressed. There is a 5’ utility easement located within the rear portion of the property. Please show this easement on your site plan. The provided plans show the easement outside the property lines which is incorrect. Update Legend 12 keynote to state it is a 5’-0” wide utility easement (not setback). 3. COMMENT: Previous comment 8/Review #1 wasn’t addressed. No building may be constructed in the existing utility easement without written approval from the utility companies. Provide written approval from all utility companies that within your 5’-0” utility easement. If it is unknown as to which utility companies exist with the easement, call 811 (‘before you dig’) to understand who resides in the easement and reach out to each company to retrieve approval letter. 4. COMMENT: Additional comments may be forthcoming depending on responses to zoning review comments and plans submitted. 5. COMMENT: Site zoning is unable to approve the building permit until the DDO has been approved. The following comments are related to an application for a Design Development Option (DDO) (UDC 3.11.1). The minimum setback in the R-1 zone is the greater of six (6) feet, or two thirds (2/3) the height of the structures wall facing each interior property line (Table 6.3-2.A). Based on a proposed wall height of 9’, the minimum required setback for the “Ramada” to the West property line is 6’. The proposed setback along the West property line is dimensioned as 1’. The proposed setback will require approval through the DDO application process. Please submit your DDO application as a Zoning Modification sub-record. For instructions on how to apply for a sub-record, please visit the following link: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/tdc-faq/new-pdfs/sub-records_071425.pdf . Please contact Georgia Pennington at Georgia.Pennington@tucsonaz.gov or Mark Castro at Mark.Castro@tucsonaz.gov if you have additional questions about the DDO process. Include sheet 11 (Ramada as built) to the forthcoming set. Additionally, the north property line setback should also be 6’-0” as opposed to 1’-0” dimension shown (and out of the 5’-0” wide utility easement. Include this as part of your Design Development Option (seeking reprieve from both setbacks) RESUBMITTAL OF THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED: 1. Corrected building permit 2.
