Code reference, 2018 International Residential Code (IRC).

GENERAL COMMENTS:
1. The inclusion of a range, full sized refrigerator and triple bason sink qualifies this structure as a dwelling unit.
2. Show compliance with the Inclusive Home Design Ordinance adopted by the City of Tucson Ordinance #10463 on 10/16/2007. Notate accessible route, minimum door width, changes in floor elevation, door hardware, electrical outlet reach range, grab bar reinforcement, etc.
3. Each dwelling unit building requires a street address and a separate permit, R319.
4. A new dwelling unit requires collection of development impact fee when the building permit is processed, City of Tucson Ordinance #11203. To avoid paying the impact fees, remove the Range, full size refrigerator and triple bason sink, (a single bason sink may remain).

Site Plan:
5. Unified Development Code Article 7.12, Each dwelling requires a separate connection to the county sewer system. 945 N. 5th Ave sewer crosses into 942 N. Arizona Ave property. 942 N. Arizona cannot feed into 945 N.5th Ave’s sewer line. 2018 IPC 701.3
6. All new sewer connections to Pima County system require a separate permit/activity-number from Pima County. Pima County Wastewater 520 724-6609 controls the tap point. https://www.pima.gov/government/wastewaterreclamation/. Provide Pima County permit/activity documentation.
7. Each dwelling unit requires separate utility connections, without crossing property lines. The electrical meter for 945 N. 5th cannot be placed on the parcel for 942 N. Arizona Ave.
8. Exterior walls with a fire separation distance less than 3-foot to the neighboring property line require not less than one-hour fire-resistive construction. Show compliance with R302.1 (City of Tucson Amended) by providing a section detail of materials prescribed in IBC Table 721.1(2), Items 15-1.1 to 16-1.3.
9. The proposed building is sited within the 3’ fire separation distance from the neighboring property line. Show compliance with R302.1 (City of Tucson Amended) by providing a south gable wall with one-hour rated materials prescribed in IBC Table 721.1(2), Items 15-1.1 to 16-1.3. This requirement includes the removal of any and all openings in the entire south facing wall. Remove the attic vent on this wall, R302.4.

05/12/2023 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 (1st Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: May 12, 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.

1. As this site is made up of two (2) parcels 117-02-229B & 117-02-229B and accessory structures are not allowed on parcel occupied by a principal building or use, UDC Article 6.6.2.B, a lot combo is required. Provide a copy of the approved Pima County Assessor’s Combo Request form with the next submittal.

2. The plan, as submitted, showing a full size refrigerator and triple bowl sink for Zoning purposes is considered a dwelling unit. If the plan is to remain as is impact fees will apply. For the hobby/guest room to not be considered a dwelling unit the full size refrigerator will need to be shown as an under counter refrigerator and the triple bowl sink will need to be a single bowl bar type sink.

3. Based on aerial photos there has been a structure removed from between the hobby/guest room and the existing storage. Zoning was not able to find approved permits for the demolition of this structure. Contact Jodie Brown at Jodie.Brown@tucsonaz.gov to determine what type of documentation will be need for Historic.

4. 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).
5. As exterior changes are proposed Historic review is required. Historic application/requirements can be found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/pdsd/Preservation/HPZ_Review_Application_Package_2020.pdf. Contact Jodie Brown at Jodie.Brown@tucsonaz.gov for Historic requirements.

6. 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. As no wall heights have been provided Zoning cannot determine the required perimeter yard setback, 0’-0” setback provide. Historic review may waive perimeter yard setbacks during their review. If Historic does not waive the setback a Board of Adjustment for Variance maybe required.
