| 04/01/2026 | Residential Zoning | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PDSD TRANSMITTAL FROM: Jeffrey W. Cassidy, Planner Planning & Development Services Department – Current Zoning Review Section PROJECT: TC-RES-0326-01355 – Residential Building – Extension to existing porch (carport) 5512 S CASSIA WY TUCSON, AZ 85706 (R-1 Zoning) Site Plan Review – 1st Review TRANSMITTAL DATE: April 01, 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; Plan review for the above referenced carport extension 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: Based on the drawing provided and Google Street View, it appears the extension is for the existing carport (as opposed to porch as noted in the permit title). Confirm the scope to be an expansion of the existing carport. 2. COMMENT: The site plan provided is incomplete. Provide a site plan that meets the requirements show in the plot plan example at the following link: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/2/pdsd/documents/plan-samples/basic-site-plan_feb2026.pdf Specifically: A. Draw, label and dimension everything that exists on the property to a scalable drawing graphic (examples include the principal residence, porches, breezeways, sidewalks, driveways, parking spots, walls, fences, ramada, shed, carport, shade sail, cistern, pool, guest house, sleeping quarters, accessory dwelling unit) and provide dimensions of any structure as it relates to nearby structures and property lines and provide the heights (measured from above finish grade to top of wall, etc.) of those structures that run parallel-perpendicular to any nearby adjacent property lines. Provide heights at various locations along the fence/wall if applicable. Label parking spaces. B. Refer to Pima County’s website https://gis.pima.gov/maps/detail.cfm?&parcel=140140010 to locate and provide the parcel number, legal description, subdivision name, book and page numbers, township-section and range, sequence number on the plot plan. C. Draw, label and dimension all property lines, (provide property line lengths) and any applicable easements to be reflective of information on property title report. Refer to Pima County’s website https://onbase.pima.gov/publicaccess/DS_NextGen_Single/etc/cq/results.html?cqid=240&OBKey__552_1=29045 . The math of the property line lengths will produce the total parcel square footage. D. As a result of not producing a site plan with property line lengths, a lot coverage calculation table was not provided. Per UDC Article 6.4.3.C.1.a roofed areas, porches, open on at least one side are NOT included in the calculation and per UDC Article 6.4.3.B.3.b Vehicular use areas, measured within the outside edges of any area allocated to vehicle use, whether improved or unimproved, are included in the lot coverage. Calculate (measure) square footage of every enclosed (NOT open structures like a porch, ramada, carport) structure on site and all vehicular use area (driveway, parking, turnaround, backup) and input into lot coverage calculation table. A carport would be calculated under vehicular use area. These separate ‘category numbers are added together and divided by the total parcel square footage to produce the lot coverage percentage that demonstrates compliance (or not). E. Draw, label and dimension the principal residence graphic to be representative of that via Pima County’s website (property record card) https://www.asr.pima.gov/ParcelData/prc/14014/0010.pdf . Include any unpermitted additions, modifications and label. F. Draw and label S Cassia Way G. Provide dimensions from centerline of street name to curb. See the paving plans https://maps-and-records.tucsonaz.gov/construction-plans/details/I-77-032 or for reference. H. Provide dimension from curb to property line. I. Provide R-1 zoning labels on all four sides of this parcel (including this parcel). J. Provide site plan scale, corresponding graphic scale and north arrow. 3. 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. Draw, dimension and label existing carport size (to determine if this is meeting standard); per the property card, it appears this standard may have already been exhausted or is close to the 400 square foot standard. Should the intent to be to seek potential relief from the 400 square foot standard, a board of adjustment variance will be required to permit the structure as shown on the site. See variance requirements below. Zoning cannot approve this permit until the Board of Adjustment (B/A) Variance Process is completed and approved. See below for more information on the B/A Variance process. 4. 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 existing carport is shown 5’-0”+/- into the 20’-0” setback (15’-0” remaining). Based on the previous review comment and assuming there is enough remaining square footage to avoid exceeding the 400 square foot standard, there appears to be some room to meet the 10’-0” setback with the attached carport extension. 5. COMMENT: Additional comments may be forthcoming on the next review based on responses to Zoning and other PDSD reviewer comments. Board of Adjustment application/requirements can be found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Planning-Zoning-Applications/Zoning-Administration .
