| 03/27/2026 | Residential Zoning | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PDSD TRANSMITTAL FROM: Jeffrey W. Cassidy, Planner Planning & Development Services Department – Current Zoning Review Section PROJECT: TC-RES-0326-01299 – Residential Building – Unpermitted garage enclosure, new carport sun shade in front and a sunshade in rear yard 8350 E 3RD ST TUCSON, AZ 85710 (R-1 Zoning) Site Plan Review – 1st Review TRANSMITTAL DATE: March 27, 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 unpermitted garage enclosure, new carport sun shade in front and a sunshade in rear yard 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: Per UDC 6.6.3.C. standard, detached accessory buildings, including accessory dwelling units, are not permitted in the buildable area extending the full width of the lot between the principal building and front street lot line, except for shade structures or carports not over 400 square feet in floor area, terraces and steps not over three high above the natural grade, paved areas, and fences or walls. Carport appears to be currently exceeding the 400 square feet standard. Three options exist: A. Modify existing design to meet 400 square foot standard. B. Remove carport. C. Leave the design as-is and attempt to secure relief from this standard through the Board of Adjustment Variance process. See below for more information on the Board of Adjustment Variance process. 2. COMMENT: Per TABLE 6.4.5.C.1.a., “For single-family and duplex development, the minimum required street perimeter yard is 20’-0” measured from the street property line” Additionally, per 6.4.5.D.3.a. “Shade structures or carports may project up to 10’-0” into required perimeter yards. Such architectural features include, but are not limited to, overhangs, moveable insulating walls and roofs, detached solar collectors, reflectors and piping” As currently shown, the carport structure runs alongside the north property line. Three options exist: A. Move or shorten carport 10’-0” south, toward house to achieve 10’-0” distance from north property line. B. Leave the design as-is and attempt to secure relief from this standard through the Design Development Option (DDO) process. Be aware 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.
