| 05/01/2025 | Site Zoning - Standard | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PDSD TRANSMITTAL FROM: Jeffrey W. Cassidy, Planner Planning & Development Services Department – Zoning Review Section PROJECT: TC-RES-0325-01416 – Residential Building – Fire Damage Renovation & Second Dwelling Addition 2009 N Calle Serena Tucson, AZ 85712 (R-1 Zoning) Building Plan Review – 1st Review TRANSMITTAL DATE: May 1, 2025 This site is 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. RESUBMITTAL OF THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED: Zoning review for the above referenced structure 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: To echo the Residential Building Complex Review Comments- a) Show the location and size of utility meters and gas, water, electrical, and sewer lines for each dwelling, R106.1.1. Show the location and size of lines with connection points. Identify the utility lines requiring upgrade or replacement. b) 2. Show building square footage sizes for each dwelling. 2. COMMENT: For Site Plan sheets 1 and 2, consider labeling the setback along N. Calle Serena as the ‘Front’ Yard Setback. This, because the North setback along Waverly can’t meet a front yard setback but meets the street side yard setback as currently dimensioned. Label the north setback as the street side yard setback. 3. COMMENT: Dimension the two areas labeled as ‘Parking’ as well as the parking under the ‘Carport’. Extend Parking graphics to the property line in all 3 instances to clearly identify what specific portions of the property are vehicle related. Update square footages on Lot Coverage Calculations table and thus, updating the lot coverage calculations accordingly. 4. COMMENT: Per Pima County, this lot’s square footage is approximately 8,434 square feet. To meet the density requirement in this R-1 zone (1 unit/ 7,000 square feet or 2 units/ 10,000 square feet), two ‘units’ are not allowed in this zone upon labeling the drawings as ‘new addition’ or ‘in-law suite’. However, renaming (re-labeling) this nomenclature to accessory dwelling unit or ADU in lieu of ‘In-law suite’ on the plans or ‘new addition’ on the elevations, allows for this use to exist. The total square footage of accessory dwelling unit (appears to be 926+/- square feet approximately) does not figure into the total lot coverage calculation table but is worth acknowledging as it helps the reviewer determine if this number meets our ADU requirement of being 75% of the principal square footage (or not). 5. COMMENT: Impact Fees will be imposed because of this new addition (now being re-labeled as an Accessory Dwelling Unit). Please see these hyperlinks for more information: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/planning-initiatives/2023.03.07_adu_1_year_review_mc_.pdf https://impactfee.tucsonaz.gov/ 6. COMMENT: Demonstrate how the roofing materials meet the ‘Cool Roof’ requirement for the Accessory Dwelling Unit portion. 7. COMMENT: There appear to be inconsistencies in the elevations labeling. The North and South elevations serve to both acknowledge what side of the building is represented but also as the view direction. The same cannot be said for the East and West elevations. 8. COMMENT: Upon review of the site plan, and records search internally, there appears to be no record of the carport ever being permitted. Provide permit number for the carport. If unable to do so, building plans and structural calculations will be required for any carport exceeding 200 square feet in size. See hyperlink below: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/handouts/shed-permitting-guide_020525.pdf https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/permits/residential-permits/residential_submittal_requirements_january2023.pdf 9. COMMENT: Per Perimeter Yards 6.4.5.D.3.a. https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/tucson/latest/tucson_az_udc/0-0-0-5192, “shade structures or carports may project up to 10’-0” into required street perimeter yards.” The carport graphic exceeds this requirement. In an attempt to bring this into compliance, per our Design Development Option (DDO), review and address the following links https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/tucson/latest/tucson_az_udc/0-0-0-1626, https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/planning-amp-zoning/ddo_for_setback_and_height_udc.pdf 10. COMMENT: Provide dimensions of Carport along with dimensions of the carport to the property line. 11. COMMENT: The lot coverage calculation tables (on sheets 1 and 2) need to be updated as previously mentioned (parking and driveway, the existing and proposed principal residence square footage and accessory dwelling unit to (only to compare to the principal residence square footage to clarify if meeting the 75% of principal square footage requirement). 12. COMMENT: Upon review of the site plan, it appears the corner of the existing 6’-0” tall concrete wall along north and east property lines is in the right of the way. Additionally, after performing a records search internally, there appears to be no record of the wall ever being permitted. Provide permit number for the carport.
