Site Plan Review – 1st Review

TRANSMITTAL DATE: March 06, 2026

This site is in the R-1 Residence Zone (UDC 4.7.8). A single-family residence is a 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).

Plan review for the above referenced shed 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: No site plan was provided.

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 (examples include the 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. Refer to Pima County’s website https://gis.pima.gov/maps/detail.cfm?&parcel=103192550 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.

C. Draw, label and dimension all property lines, (provide property line lengths) and the easements to be reflective of information on Pima County’s website. Refer to Pima County’s website https://onbase.pima.gov/publicaccess/DS_NextGen_Single/etc/cq/results.html?cqid=240&OBKey__138_1=20230590739. 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. For example, this is especially significant in avoiding building in a utility easement where the provider may need regular access to service. Any need to build within the easement would then require written approval from the utility provider within that easement.

D. A lot coverage calculation table 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).

E. 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/Apex/10319/2550-1.JPG . Include any unpermitted additions, modifications and label.

F. Draw and label W Copper King Rd and N Dales Crossing Dr.

G. Provide R-1 zoning labels on all four sides of this parcel (including this parcel).

H. Provide site plan scale, corresponding graphic scale and north arrow.

I. If the plot plan is drawn by others, provide the drafter-designer-consultant name, address, license number and contact information on the title block of every sheet.

2. COMMENT: Per TABLE 6.3-2.A of the UDC (referenced below), the perimeter yard setback(s) along the south and west property line(s) are 5’-0” and 10’-0” off the east property line. The customer has indicted the desire to infringe upon the setbacks by 42” into the south and west setbacks. There are three options:

A. Distance is 1’-0” or more or 1-0” OR Less (encroaching in setback):
Secure a neighbor setback waivers (provided below) signed and dated by the property owner(s) to the east and south as this can be the easiest way to resolve this requirement:

(Neighbor Waiver Sample – COPY AND PASTE ALL WAIVERS ONTO SITE PLAN EXACTLY AS SHOWN BELOW):

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:___________________________

Mi hombre es ________________ y yo soy el dueño de la propiedad ubicada en la _____________________. He revisado el plan y no tengo ninguna objeción a que estructura se encuentra o construye ____________ desde la línea de propiedad, como se muestra en el plan.

Firma: _________________________Fecha:__________________________

B. Distance is 1’-0” or more from property line AND unable to obtain neighbor waiver:
If unsuccessful in the attempt to retrieve the neighbor waiver, there is a Design Development Option (or DDO) which affords an attempt to seek relief from the setback 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. This information is linked here:

https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Planning-Zoning-Applications/Zoning-Administration#section-3
