| 03/18/2026 | Residential Zoning | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PDSD TRANSMITTAL FROM: Erick Bieber Planning & Development Services Department – Zoning Review Section PROJECT: TC-RES-0326-01120 1250 S Beverly Ave, Tucson, AZ 85711 Residential New Dwelling (1st Review) TRANSMITTAL DATE: March 18th, 2026 This site is located in the R-1 zone (UDC 4.7.8). A multifamily development is not a permitted use in the R-1 zone. RESUBMITTAL OF THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED: Correct plans, as noted in the comments below, along with a response letter indicating how all Site Zoning comments were addressed. 1. (Comment) The project proposes 6 residential units at 1250 S Beverly Ave. Per the Middle Housing Code Amendment, developments on sites with more than 4 residential units require a Development Package (DP). An associated DP for this project could not be located. 2. (Comment) 1250 S Beverly Ave is zoned R-1. A multifamily development is not a permitted use in the R-1 zone. 3. (Comment) The project description indicates a request for a change of zoning from R-1 to R-2 to accommodate multifamily development. Zoning is unable to locate a rezoning application for the site. A rezoning application submitted through Tucson Development Center Online is required to move forward with the rezoning process. Another pre-application conference will likely not be necessary to start the process as one has already been conducted under TP-PRE-0525-00097. The Unified Development Code (UDC) can be found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Codes/Zoning-Code For questions regarding Zoning comments, please contact me at: Erick.Bieber@tucsonaz.gov |
