| 03/07/2024 | Site Zoning | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | ZONING REVIEW TRANSMITTAL FROM: Wyatt Berger Lead Planner PROJECT: TC-RES-0324-01247 4650 East Calle Aurora – R-1 Convert garage to ADU (1st Review) TRANSMITTAL DATE: March 7, 2024 Please resubmit revised drawings with a detailed response letter stating how all Zoning Review Section comments were addressed. 1. Ensure the elevation drawings are correctly labeled. Based on Pima County Pictometry, the west elevation as proposed appears to be the north elevation, and the north elevation as proposed appears to be the west elevation. 2. Perimeter yards are based on a measurement from the design grade elevation to the highest point of the exterior wall. Provide dimensions from the design grade elevation to the highest point of the building wall on the elevation drawings. 3. Per Tucson Unified Development Code (UDC) Table 6.3-2.A, when a residential use is adjacent to a residential use, the required perimeter yard is six feet or 2/3 the height of the exterior building wall, whichever is greater, measured from the lot line. Based on an estimated wall height of 12’-2”, the required rear perimeter yard is 8’-1”. The proposed rear perimeter yard is 3’-2” as measured from the south lot line. As you are proposing to convert the structure to an accessory dwelling unit, Design Development Option (DDO) approval is required to reduce the rear perimeter yard. A neighbor’s setback waiver in accordance with UDC 6.6.2.D cannot be used to reduce an interior perimeter yard. 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. The DDO shall be submitted under existing permit number TC-RES-0324-01247 as a separate PDF. Contact Georgia.Pennington@tucsonaz.gov if you have questions about the DDO process. If you have any questions about this transmittal, contact me at Wyatt.Berger@tucsonaz.gov or at 520-837-4951. |
