03/15/2024 Site Zoning REQUIRES RESUBMIT ZONING REVIEW TRANSMITTAL

FROM: Wyatt Berger
Lead Planner

PROJECT: TC-RES-0224-00824 (T22DV04172)
541 West Doce Place – R-1
Porch and carport built without permits (1st Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: March 15, 2024

Please resubmit revised drawings with a detailed response letter stating how all Zoning Review Section comments were addressed.

1. Provide a site plan meeting the residential plot plan requirements found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/permits/residential-permits/residential_plot_plan_requirements.pdf. The requirements are provided in both graphic and written formats.

2. A rear porch, attached to the existing residence, appears in aerial photography in 2019. A building permit was not obtained for this porch. Ensure construction plans for the rear porch, in addition to plans for the front carport, are submitted with TC-RES-0224-00824.

3. Per Tucson Unified Development Code (UDC) 6.4.5.C.1.a, the minimum required front street setback is 20 feet as measured from the front street property line.

Based on sheet 3 of paving plan I-72-022, the front street property line is located two feet behind the edge of sidewalk (https://maps-and-records.tucsonaz.gov/construction-plans/details/I-72-022). Provide a dimension from the posts of the carport to the front street property line. Design Development Option (DDO) approval will be required if the front street setback is less than 20 feet.

4. Per UDC Table 6.3-2.A, when a residential use is adjacent to a residential zone, the required side or rear yard setback is six feet or 2/3 the height of the exterior building wall, whichever is greater, measured from the interior property line. Posts supporting roof extensions are considered walls for applying setback requirements (UDC 6.4.5.B.2).

Provide elevations with your resubmittal to determine the required and proposed side perimeter yard setbacks for the carport and rear porch. As the carport does not meet the above setback requirement. DDO approval can be obtained to reduce the side perimeter yard setback to one foot as measured from the west property line. A variance is required to be granted by the Board of Adjustment if the side perimeter yard setback is less than one foot from the west property line.

The DDO application and requirements can be found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/planning-amp-zoning/ddo_for_setback_and_height_udc.pdf. Contact Georgia.Pennington@tucsonaz.gov or Mark.Castro@tucsonaz.gov if you have questions about the DDO or variance processes.

5. The shed in the southeast corner appears to have been expanded in 2016. As this structure is detached from the existing residence, neighbor setback waivers in accordance with UDC 6.6.2.D can be used to reduce the side and rear perimeter yard setbacks. The waivers shall be signed by the owners of 521 West Doce Place and of 546 West Elvira Road and pasted directly on the site plan. The waivers shall include the following language:

My name is _______ and I am the owner of property located at _______. I have reviewed the site plan and have no objection to the structure being located __ feet from the property line.

Signature: _______

Date: _______
