PROJECT: TC-RES-0225-00898
2708 S PACE EAST DR – R-1 Zoning
Porch and site wall addition (1st Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: 03/24/2025

This site is located in the R-1 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

COMMENTS: Please resubmit revised drawings and a detailed response letter, which states how all Zoning Review Section comments were addressed.


1. Comment: Clarify is the proposed porch only to provide shade or is it for vehicular use area?
2. Comment: Ensure all scales on the plan are correct. When using the ¼” = 1’ – 0” on the plot plan the setback dimensions measured do not depict the measurements shown. (i.e. measuring what is shown as an 8’ – 0” setback along the south property line using the scale provided depicts a 3’-7 ¾” setback)
3. Comment: The rear alley dimension is not correct. The correct alley dimension is 16’. (See recorded Subdivision Plat Map for Book 24, Page 28 - https://gis.pima.gov/maps/detail.cfm?&parcel=136123630 )

4. Comment: Aerial views on the property show a rear attached covered patio, which is not accurately depicted on the plot plan but rather only half the size of the covered patio is drawn on the plot plan. All structures shall be drawn and fully depicted on the plan accurately. Clarify, is the southwest portion of the covered patio going to be removed? If so, please indicate this on the construction plans.

Aerial views also show a wall on the north side of the home running north south. Is this wall going to be removed?

5. Comment: The proposed masonry wall will require a separate residential fence/wall permit.
6. Comment: All structures must meet the minimum building setback, the greater of 6’ or 2/3 the height of structure wall facing the property line. Applying 2/3 the height of structure wall facing the property line, the north setback to the proposed detached porch is 6’ 2”. The proposed detached porch structure is depicted 3’ from the north property line. The detached porch can be relocated away from the property line to meet the 6’ or 2/3 the height of structure wall minimum or a waiver for the proposed setback must be obtained to allow the detached porch to be built / placed as depicted on the plan. The following verbiage can be used for the setback waiver and must be Added to the site plan. The statement may be in English or Spanish.

Example of an adjacent owner’s setback waiver for detached accessory structures. The adjacent owner’s waiver statement must be Added to the site plan.


The following statement can be used. 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 a waiver a Design Development Option (DDO) application must be submitted for review and approval.

The following comments are related to the DDO if necessary.

7. DDO Comment: The perimeter yard setback along the north property line does not comply with the minimum setback. Per UDC 6.3-2.A, the minimum perimeter yard setback is the greater of 6’-0” or 2/3 (H) height of the exterior wall. The structure encroaches into the required perimeter yard at 3’ and will require the approval of a Design Development Option (DDO) before zoning can approve this permit.

The below paperwork can be filled out and submitted with the next submission.
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
