| 03/11/2026 | Residential Zoning | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PDSD TRANSMITTAL FROM: Jeffrey W. Cassidy, Planner Planning & Development Services Department – Current Zoning Review Section PROJECT: TC-RES-0226-00897 – Residential Building – Conversion of existing carport into sleeping quarters 1041 N FIREWOOD PL (R-2 Zoning) Site Plan Review – 1st Review TRANSMITTAL DATE: March 11, 2026 This site is in the R-2 Residence Zone (UDC 4.7.9). A single-family residence is a permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-2) subject to Use Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.6, .9, & .10. 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 conversion of existing carport into sleeping quarters 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: Specifically: A. Draw, label and dimension the unpermitted missing shed in the front yard close to the south property line as well as the dimensions (setbacks) from the south property line. Include the height of the shed in the description. B. Draw, label and dimension the missing 6’-0” wide Tucson Electric Power Easement along the east property line. C. On the A1 sheet, update the setbacks, both on the plan and under ‘Property Information’ to 20’-0” for the front yard and 5’-0” for the side and rear yard. D. Include the missing drafter-designer-consultant name, address, license number and contact information on the title block of every sheet. 2. COMMENT: Per UDC 6.6.3.C. standard, detached accessory buildings, including accessory dwelling units, are not permitted in the buildable area extending the full width of the lot between the principal building and front street lot line, except for shade structures or carports not over 400 square feet in floor area, terraces and steps not over three high above the natural grade, paved areas, and fences or walls. The existing shed would not be permissible per this standard. Regarding the Sleeping Quarters: Check to see if this site has a Homeowner’s Association and/or Covenants, codes and restrictions regarding the locating of a sleeping quarters concept to the front of the property as presented. Option(s) for the existing unpermitted shed: a. Remove Shed b. Relocate shed to side or rear of property and 5’-0” from south, north and/or west property lines. Shed can be included in this permit. Mention as much in comment response letter as well. 3. COMMENT: Per TABLE 6.4.5.C.1.a., “For single-family and duplex development, the minimum required street perimeter yard is 20’-0” measured from the street property line” As currently shown, the sleeping quarters is shown 2’-0” into the 20’-0” front yard setback (18’-0” remaining to the east property line) and 3’-0” into the north 5’-0” setback (2’-0” remaining). Two options exist: A. Adjust design in both directions to accommodate setbacks. B. Leave as-is and attempt to secure relief from this standard thru the Design Development Option (DDO) process. Be aware 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.
