05/14/2024 Site Zoning REQUIRES RESUBMIT ZONING REVIEW TRANSMITTAL

FROM: Wyatt Berger
Lead Planner

PROJECT: TC-RES-0424-02263
1500-1502 North Park Avenue – R-2
Garage (1st Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: May 14, 2024

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

1. The existing detached carport is proposed for demolition. According to the Pima County Assessor’s Office, the effective construction date for the property is 1927. The actual construction date may be earlier.

Buildings, portions of buildings, or structures that are 50 years of age or older must be architecturally documented prior to demolition. Documentation shall be reviewed and approved by the City Historic Preservation Office prior to zoning approval of this permit.

The Demolition of Historic and Older Structures Application and General Information may be downloaded at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/planning-amp-zoning/historic_demolition_application_form.pdf.

2. Per UDC 6.6.3.D, accessory structures shall not exceed 12 feet in height unless attached to a principal structure. Building height is the vertical distance measured from the design grade elevation to the middle (between the eave and ridge) of the highest gable of a pitched or hipped roof (UDC 6.4.4.A).

Provide a measurement from the design grade elevation to the middle of the pitched roof. A Board of Adjustment variance is required to be granted if the proposal exceeds 12 feet in height.

3. 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. The proposed detached garage exceeds 50% of the gfa of the principal structure.

A Board of Adjustment variance is required to be granted to allow the proposal to remain detached from the principal structure and exceed the above gfa requirement. Per a previous Zoning Administrator’s determination, the garage may be considered attached to the principal structure if a structural element at least five feet wide supporting a live load of at least 20 pounds is proposed. Providing a structural element ultimately eliminates the variance requirement relating to gfa.

4. 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). Per UDC Table 6.3-2.A, when a residential use is adjacent to a residential zone, the required side and rear perimeter yards are six feet or 2/3 the height of the exterior building wall, whichever is greater.

Based on a wall height of 14’-6”, the required side perimeter yard is 9’-8” as measured from the north lot line. The proposed side perimeter yard is 6’-0” as measured from the north lot line.

Based on a wall height of 9’-6”, the required rear perimeter yard is 6’-4” as measured from the east lot line. The proposed rear perimeter yard is 3’-0” as measured from the east lot line.

Setback waivers in accordance with UDC 6.6.2.D may be obtained to reduce the required perimeter yards for accessory structures. The waivers must be signed by the owners of 1520 North Park Avenue and of 1011-1021 East Adams Street. The waivers must also be pasted directly onto the site plan with the following language:

My name is _______ and I am the owner of property located at _______. I have reviewed the site plan and have no objection to the structure being constructed __ feet from the property line as depicted on the site plan.

Signature: _______

Date: _______

If the required setback waivers cannot be obtained, the setback reductions can be addressed with the Design Development Option (DDO) process or the Board of Adjustment process.

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. Contact Mark.Castro@tucsonaz.gov if you have questions about the variance process.

If you have any questions about this transmittal, contact me at Wyatt.Berger@tucsonaz.gov or at 520-837-4951.
