| 03/18/2026 | Residential Building | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | ACTIVITY NO. TC-RES-0326-01069 ADDRESS/PARCEL: (3219 E ELIDA ST TUCSON, AZ 85716) Submit your revised reports along with a response letter which states how all Building Review Section comments were addressed. The submitted documents were incomplete and a thorough plan review could not be performed. Please be aware, new comments may arise with the next review. Review will not proceed without the response letter. Should you have any questions about these comments, I can be reached at ian.gillaspie@tucsonaz.gov. COMMENTS: 1. The exclusion of a major cooking appliance means this structure would be considered a detached sleeping quarters and not an ADU. This would fall under a residential additions/alterations permit type. However sleeping quarters are not subject to impact fees. 2. Vapor retarder is req’d under slab. R506.3.3 Vapor retarder: a minimum 6 mil polyethylene vapor retarder with joints lapped not less than 6 inches is required between the concrete floor slab and the base course or the prepared subgrade where a base course does not exist. Exception: The vapor retarder is not required for the following: Garages, utility buildings and other unheated accessory structures. 3. Please correct and resubmit. |
