Code reference, 2018 International Residential Code (IRC).

The following comments were not addressed in the latest plan-set.

Floor Plan:
1. Show the minimum 22” x 30” for the attic access. Attic access is required for areas exceeding 30 SQ FT with a minimum of 30” of headroom and located in a hallway or readily accessible space, R807.1, or show passage between the proposed and existing accessible attic areas.

Elevation plans:
2. Clarify the placement of ceiling/roof insulation for determining the need for attic ventilation, R806. Sheet A-3, Detail-1, shows insulation on the underside of the roof sheathing, but the elevation views show attic vents below this insulation. Sheet A-3 Detail-5 shows the insulation on bottom of the trusses.
3. An unvented roof assembly requires an air-impermeable rigid insulation material with a minimum R-5 value applied correctly to either side of the roof sheathing (closed cell spray or rigid board tight to the roof sheathing), R806.5. This condensation control provision is necessary for code compliance and may be a single layer of air-impermeable insulation or layered with batt insulation for achieving the total required roof R-value (R-30 for addition <20%). Show the R value of the insulation being used, Sheet A-3, detail-1.
4. If a vented roof assembly method will be utilized, then provide an attic space ventilation calculation and specify size and location of all vents needed to comply with R806.2. Provide appropriate upper and lower space vents if applying the reduced area calculation per exception requirements.
5. Provide complete details for beam connection to top of column, 3/A-3, and to the front of the structure.
6. Show the ceiling gypsum board as either 5/8” or ½” sag resistant when applied to 24” o/c ceiling framing, IRC table R702.3.5 footnote d.

Plumbing Plans:
7. Show the platform mounted water heater with a listed pan and ¾” drain line to a waste receptor or to the building exterior 6” above grade, P2801.6. Provide spec sheets.
8. Show a pressure and temperature relief valve at the water heater. Note a metallic T&P line terminating at the exterior 6 inches above grade facing down, P2803.6.1.

Mechanical Plans:
9. Clarify type of Water Heater being used. One notation is for electric (See callout on Electrical plans) and one notation is for gas fired (Plumbing Notes). WH installed in an attic shall comply with the requirements of Section M1305.1.2. Provide spec sheet for venting and pressure relief requirements.

Electrical Plans:
10. Show the location of a receptacle outlet and light switch for attic water heater equipment. The service outlet must be within 25’ of equipment, E3901.12, M1305.1.2.1.
11. Show a WP GFCI receptacle outlet on the same level within 25’ of exterior HVAC equipment, E3901.12. Sheet E1, Electrical note #14.
12. Protection of all interior 15A & 20A circuits serving outlet locations (except garage, kitchen, and bathrooms) including receptacles, lights and smoke detectors require combination type arc-fault circuit interrupters, E3902.16.

OUTDOOR Lighting code:
13. Show the proposed fixture as full cut-off FCO style or provide an Outdoor Lighting Calculation including all exterior fixtures on the property for determining exterior lighting limits.

INTERNATIONAL ENERGY CONSERVATION CODE: Note these requirements on the plans.
14. Tucson is in climate zone 2B. The simplified prescribed energy values for glazing is U=0.40, skylights U=0.65, ceiling R=38 (R-30 for a qualifying room addition) and walls R=13. Show the “R” values of insulation and the maximum “U” factors of the windows and doors on the plans as well as the solar heat gain coefficient SHGC minimum value of 0.25, N1102.1.
11/08/2023 Site Zoning REQUIRES RESUBMIT FROM: PDSD Zoning Review

PROJECT: TC-RES-0423-04692
945 N. 5th Av. – HR-2
Renovate the existing garage to a hobby/guest room (2nd Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: November 8, 2023

Please resubmit revised drawings and any redlined plans along with a detailed response letter, which states how all Zoning Review Section comments were addressed.

This site is located in the HR-2 zone (UDC 4.7.9). A single-family residence (SFR) is a permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-2). See Use-Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.6, .9, & .10.

These comment are still applicable
1. This comment was not addressed correctly. Lot coverage does not include porch type structures open on at least one side, UDC Article 6.4.3.C.1.a, but does include any vehicle use area, whether improved or unimproved. The lot coverage calculation is not correct. Review UDC Article 6.4.3 and the example shown on the Residential Plot Plan Requirements found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/pdsd/forms/Residential_Plot_Plan_Requirements.pdf, and provide a correct lot coverage calculation.



COMMENTS: the following comments are relative to an application for Historic Review (UDC 5.8.8).
2. Until approved by Historic Zoning cannot approve the building plans. As exterior changes are proposed Historic review is required. Historic application/requirements can be found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Historic-Preservation. Contact Jodie Brown at Jodie.Brown@tucsonaz.gov for Historic requirements.

3. The minimum setback is the greater of six (6) feet, or two-thirds (2/3) the height of the structure’s wall facing each interior property line (Table 6.3-2.A). As you are converting non-habitable space to habitable space the required perimeter yard setback to the south property line would be six (6) feet, or two-thirds (2/3) the height of the wall facing the south property line. Perimeter yard setbacks are based on a measurement from design grade to the highest point of the exterior wall UDC Article 6.4.5.B & Figure 6.4.5-A. Based on a wall height of 15’-8” the required perimeter yard setback to the south property line is 10.44’, proposed setback is 1.75’”. Historic review may waive perimeter yard setbacks during their review. If Historic does not waive the setback a Design Development Option (DDO) must be submitted and approved to reduce the required setback,
DDO application and requirements can be found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/pdsd/documents/planning-amp-zoning/2019_ddo_for_setback_and_height_udc.pdf . The completed application shall be submitted as a PDF under assigned permit number.
