| 02/11/2026 | Residential Zoning | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PDSD TRANSMITTAL FROM: Jeffrey W. Cassidy, Planner Planning & Development Services Department – Current Zoning Review Section PROJECT: TC-RES-0226-00517 - Residential Building – Adding 2' to top of existing perimeter wall that is 4'-3 , for a total of 6'-3 110 S GOLD MINE LP TUCSON, AZ 85748 (R-1 Zoning) Site Plan Review – 1st Review TRANSMITTAL DATE: February 11, 2026 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). The City's Unified Development Code (UDC) (Section 1.4.1.C) establishes that before the City issues any approvals or permits; we must confirm that a site complies with UDC standards. Therefore, as part of permit reviews, we review a site's permit history and compare it to aerial photography to confirm that unpermitted work has not occurred. In many cases, this does mean that a homeowner must apply for permits for unpermitted work before we can approve any new work on that site. Plan review for the above referenced vertical wall extension has been completed. This letter reflects comments to be addressed. For facilitating a shorter back check time, please provide updated plans and calculations with a written response to each of the notated items indicating action taken. Do not cloud the changes made for comment updates; revisions are processed if changes occur after the permit is issued. 1. COMMENT: The site plan provided is incomplete. Provide a site plan that meets the requirements show in the plot plan example at the following link: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/2/pdsd/documents/plan-samples/basic-site-plan_feb2026.pdf Specifically: A. Draw, label and dimension everything that exists on the property to a scalable drawing graphic (principal residence, porches, breezeways, sidewalks, driveways, parking spots, walls, fences, ramada, shed, carport, shade sail, cistern, pool, guest house, sleeping quarters, accessory dwelling unit) and provide dimensions of any structure as it relates to nearby structures and property lines and provide the heights (measured from above finish grade to top of wall, etc.) of those structures that run parallel-perpendicular to any nearby adjacent property lines. Provide heights at various locations along the fence/wall if applicable. B. Draw, label and dimension all setbacks. Setbacks for side and rear property lines are 5’-0” flanking the north, south, and west property lines. The front yard setback is 20’-0” (east property line). C. Refer to Pima County’s website https://gis.pima.gov/maps/detail.cfm?&parcel=133397840 to locate and provide the parcel number, legal description, subdivision name, book and page numbers, township-section and range, sequence number on the plot plan. D. Draw, label and dimension all property lines, (provide property line lengths) and any easements to be reflective of information on Pima County’s website. Refer to Pima County’s website https://maps-and-records.tucsonaz.gov/subdivisions/details/MP-41053&87146880. The math of the property line lengths will produce the total parcel square footage. Be aware that some easements may require referring to the title report of the property (procure at title company if not already in possession. E. The lot coverage calculation was not provided. Per UDC Article 6.4.3.C.1.a roofed areas, porches, open on at least one side are NOT included in the calculation and per UDC Article 6.4.3.B.3.b Vehicular use areas, measured within the outside edges of any area allocated to vehicle use, whether improved or unimproved are included in the lot coverage. Calculate (measure) square footage of every enclosed (NOT open structures like a porch, ramada, carport) structure on site and all vehicular use area (driveway, parking, turnaround, backup) and input into lot coverage calculation table. A carport would be calculated under vehicular use area. These separate ‘category numbers’ are added together and divided by the total parcel square footage to produce the lot coverage percentage that demonstrates compliance (or not). F. Draw, label and dimension the principal residence graphic to be representative of that via Pima County’s website (property record card) https://www.asr.pima.gov/ParcelData/prc/13339/7840.pdf . Include any unpermitted additions, modifications and label. G. Draw and label S Gold Mine Lp. H. Provide R-1 zoning labels on all four sides of this parcel (including this parcel). I. Provide missing site plan scale and corresponding graphic scale. 2. COMMENT: Per UDC 6.6.2.I, the maximum height of a wall or fence within a perimeter yard shall be 6’-0” measured from above finish grade to the top of the wall at any point along the wall run; however, the wall or fence may be higher than 6’-0”, but no higher than 10’-0”, if: (See Figure 6.6.1-A, Height of Wall or Fence within a Side or Rear Perimeter Yard.). As previously mentioned the 6’-3” dimension would exceed this standard. Two Options exist: 1) Adjust height to meet standard. 2) In order to maintain the 6’-3” height, apply for a Design Development Option (DDO) Special Application. This is an Administrative Review process with public notice. A Design Development Option (or DDO) affords an attempt to seek relief from the height requirements. Know this is an extra 6-week review and the neighbors within 100’-0” are made aware of this attempt to seek relief from being in the setback. Zoning will not be able to approve the permit application until the DDO is approved.
