03/26/2024 Site Zoning REQUIRES RESUBMIT FROM: PDSD Zoning Review Section

PROJECT: TC-RES-0423-04726
3538 E SYLVANE ST. – R-2
Extend Porch (1st Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: March 26, 2024

COMMENTS: Resubmit revised drawings along with a detailed response letter, which states how all Zoning Review Section comments were addressed.

This site is located in the R-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. The lot dimensions are not correct. Review the Citation Park final plat found at https://onbase.pima.gov/publicaccess/DS_NextGen_Single/etc/cq/results.html?cqid=240&OBKey__552_1=15033, and provide the correct lot dimensions.

2. Adjacent to “ACREAGE OF LOT” you list “9114” which appears to be the lot square footage but adjacent to “LOT” you list “6.956.4 SQ. FT. but based on the dimensions show on the Citation Park final plat the lot size should be 6,384 sq. ft.

3. 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/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Building-Safety/Plan-Examples/Plot-Plan-Example, and provide a correct lot coverage calculation. Per UDC Article 6.4.3.C.1.a Roofed areas, porches, open on at least one side are not included in the calculation.

4. Based on a height of 7’-8” the required perimeter yard setback from the proposed porch addition to the west property line is 6’-0”. As a setback dimension was not provided from the porch addition to the west property line Zoning cannot provide the required comments to process a Design Development Option (DDO).

DDO application and requirements can be found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Planning-Zoning-Applications/Zoning-Administration. If you have questions about the DDO application or process please contact Wyatt Berger at Wyatt.Berger@tucsonaz.gov or Georgia Pennington at Georgia.Pennington@tucsonaz.gov.
