06/29/2026 Residential Zoning REQUIRES RESUBMIT PDSD TRANSMITTAL

FROM: Claire Leighou, Planner

PROJECT: TC-RES-0326-01059

6981 E BROOKS DR

Carport Enclosure & Storage Shed (2nd Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: 6/29/26

Please resubmit revised drawings with a detailed response letter stating how all Zoning Review Section comments were addressed.

This site is located in the R-1 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.

Comment 1: Thank you for uploading a site plan! Please add the following details on the plan so that zoning staff may complete their review:

Label the distance between the east edge of the enclosed carport and the property line.

Label the distance between the north edge of the backyard shed and the property line.

Based on aerial images of the site, there is a shed on the right side of the property behind the house. Please draw, label, and dimension this structure on the site plan. Label the distance between the east edge of this shed and the property line and the distance between the shed and house/carport.

Label the dimensions of the property, which are 65.5’ by 102’, per area subdivision plan, found here: https://onbase.pima.gov/publicaccess/DS_NextGen_Single/etc/cq/results.html?cqid=240&OBKey__552_1=20066

Comment 2: Based on the provided site plan, the setback measurements between the shed and west property line is 3’. The required minimum setback in the R-1 zone is 5’. A neighbor waiver may be used to allow this reduced setback. Per UDC Article 6.6.2.D, an accessory structure that is detached from a principal structure shall comply with the setback standards of the principal structure, except that the accessory structure may be built to a parcel line with the consent of the adjacent property owner(s). To secure this neighbor setback waiver the following statement must be provided on the site plan and be signed and dated by the adjacent property owner(s) (6971 E Brooks Dr).

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: ___________________________

If the distance between the north edge of the shed and the property line is also under 5’, then the above neighbor waiver may be used again to allow this reduced setback. The address for that property is 6982 E 42nd St.

Comment 3: If the distance between the enclosed carport and the east property line is more than one foot, but less than five feet, then a variance can be avoided, and a design development option (DDO) may be used instead. Once this distance has been verified on the site plan then this process can be started.
