PROJECT: TC-RES-0324-01902
4409-4411 East Waverly Street – R-2
Carport (CE-VIO0823-04885) (1st Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: May 1, 2024

Please resubmit revised drawings with a detailed response letter stating how all Zoning Review Section comments were addressed.

The following comments are relative to an application for a Board of Adjustment variance (UDC 3.10.3) or a Design Development Option (DDO) (UDC 3.11.1).

1. Provide a lot coverage calculation on the site plan. Lot coverage is the area of the site occupied by buildings, outdoor storage areas, and vehicular use areas, whether improved or unimproved (UDC 6.4.3.B.3). The “shared porch” is exempt from the lot coverage calculation (UDC 6.4.3.C.1.a.). Lot coverage shall not exceed 70% in the R-2 zone (UDC Table 6.3-2.A).

2. The distance between the curb location and front street lot line is depicted incorrectly on the site plan. Per page five of paving plan I-582, the distance between the face of curb and the front street lot line is twelve feet: https://maps-and-records.tucsonaz.gov/construction-plans/details/I-852.

Provide a dimension from the centerline of Waverly Street to the curb location as well as an accurate dimension from the curb location to the front street lot line.

3. Per UDC 6.6.3.C, detached accessory buildings are not permitted in the buildable area extending the full width of the lot between the principal building and the front street lot line, except for shade structures or carports not over 400 square feet in area. As the existing detached carport exceeds 400 square feet in area, a Board of Adjustment variance is required to be granted to allow the carport to exceed this requirement and remain detached in the front yard.

4. Per UDC 6.6.3.E, the total gross floor area (gfa) of all accessory structures shall not exceed 50% of the gfa of the principal structure. As the existing detached carport exceeds 50% of the gfa of the principal structure, a Board of Adjustment variance is required to be granted to allow the carport to exceed this requirement.

Please note the third and fourth comments may be satisfied if the carport is structurally attached to the principal structure. Per a previous Zoning Administrator’s determination dated December 1, 2008, the carport may be considered attached to the principal structure if a structural connection that is at least five-foot-wide and supports a minimum twenty-pound live load is proposed.

5. Per UDC 6.4.5.C.1.a, for residential development, the minimum required front street perimeter yard is twenty feet as measured from the street property line. Detached shade structures or carports may project up to ten feet into required perimeter yards (UDC 6.4.5.D.3.a).

Regardless of whether the carport is detached or attached to the principal structure, the carport does not meet the minimum required front street perimeter yard. Ensure an accurate dimension from the face of curb to the front street lot line is provided on the site plan to determine the proposed front street perimeter yard.

6. Perimeter yards are based on a measurement from the design grade elevation to the highest point of an exterior building wall (see UDC 6.4.5-B and Figure 6.4.5-A).

Based on a wall height of 9’-0”, the required side perimeter yard is 6’-0” as measured from the west lot line. The proposed side perimeter yard is 1’-0”.

If the existing carport is to remain detached in the front yard, the Board of Adjustment variance process may be used to reduce the required front street and side perimeter yards. Contact Mark.Castro@tucsonaz.gov if you have questions about the variance process.

If the existing carport is to be structurally attached to the principal structure, Design Development Option (DDO) approval is required to reduce the front street and side perimeter yards. The DDO application and requirements can be found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/planning-amp-zoning/ddo_for_setback_and_height_udc.pdf. Contact Georgia.Pennington@tucsonaz.gov if you have questions about the DDO process.

7. The removal of the street curb cut requires Department of Transportation and Mobility (DTM) approval. A separate right-of-way permit is required.
