| 03/19/2026 | Residential Zoning | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PDSD TRANSMITTAL FROM: Jeffrey W. Cassidy, Planner Planning & Development Services Department – Current Zoning Review Section PROJECT: TC-RES-0326-01204 – Residential Building – Expanded living and porch in the rear 7611 E LEE ST TUCSON, AZ 85715 (R-1 Zoning) Site Plan Review – 1st Review TRANSMITTAL DATE: March 19, 2026 This site is in the R-1 Residence 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 for 1 unit; 4.9.7.B.1 - .9, & .11 for 2 units (min. 10,000 sq ft lot size required). The City's Unified Development Code (UDC) (Section 1.4.1.C) establishes that before the City issues any approvals or permits; we must confirm that a site complies with UDC standards. Therefore, as part of permit reviews, we review a site's permit history and compare it to aerial photography to confirm that unpermitted work has not occurred. In many cases, this does mean that a homeowner must apply for permits for unpermitted work before we can approve any new work on that site. Plan review for the above referenced expanded living and porch in the rear 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: After reviewing the property documentation history in Property Research Online (PRO), zoning could not verify any permit documentation for 1a. The existing shed closest to the northwest corner of the property built around 2015 approximately. 1b. The storage (existing or proposed?) to the northeast corner of the property. 1c. The carport that had a permit started but withdrawn and then still built around 2016 approximately and is clearly greater than 200 square feet in size. 1d. The rooftop solar that was installed around 2022 with a fair amount of the system installed on the unpermitted carport. Zoning will not be able to approve the permit application until the permit information is provided. If permit documentation cannot be provided, the sheds may be included as a part of this permit application. The carport and solar system will require separate permits (if unable to provide proof of permit documentation). Per TABLE 6.3-2.A of the UDC (referenced below), the perimeter yard setback(s) along the north, east and west property line(s) are 5’-0”. There are four options: A. Move the sheds out of the setback(s). B. Remove the sheds. C. Distance is 1’-0” or more or 1-0” OR Less (encroaching in setback): Secure neighbor setback waivers (provided below) signed and dated by the property owner(s) to the north and east as this can be the easiest way to resolve this requirement: (Neighbor Waiver Sample – COPY AND PASTE ALL WAIVERS ONTO SITE PLAN EXACTLY AS SHOWN BELOW): 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:___________________________ Mi hombre es ________________ y yo soy el dueño de la propiedad ubicada en la _____________________. He revisado el plan y no tengo ninguna objeción a que estructura se encuentra o construye ____________ desde la línea de propiedad, como se muestra en el plan. Firma: _________________________Fecha:__________________________ D. Distance is 1’-0” or more from property line AND unable to obtain neighbor waiver: If unsuccessful in the attempt to retrieve the neighbor waiver, there is a Design Development Option (or DDO) which affords an attempt to seek relief from the setback requirements. Know this is an extra 6-week review and the neighbors within 100’-0” are made aware of this attempt to seek relief from being in the setback. Zoning will not be able to approve the permit application until the DDO is approved.
