07/12/2024 Site Zoning REQUIRES RESUBMIT PDSD TRANSMITTAL

FROM: Fernando Garcia
Planning & Development Services Department – Zoning Review Section

PROJECT: TC-RES-0424-02482 – Residential Building – One or Two Family
4340 S Paseo Melodioso, Tucson, AZ 85730
Building Plan Review (2nd Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: July 12, 2024

This site is located in the SR zone (UDC 4.7.7). A single-family residence is a permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8.-1) subject to Use Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.5-9.

1. (Comment) This comment from first review was not addressed.

This lot is located in a Hillside Development Zone (HDZ). Development within an HDZ is governed by UDC 5.2.

Per UDC Article 5.2.9, a Hillside Development Zone Plan must be submitted in accordance with UDC Technical Standards Manual 9-01.0.0. The information required as part of the HDZ Plan submittal requirements will be shown graphically or provided by notes on the site plan on the next submittal. The link to the required information can be found at: https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/tucson/latest/tucson_az_udc/0-0-0-11815.

2. (Comment) I acknowledge that building height as depicted on resubmitted plan shows 24’ to midpoint of the highest gabled roof.

Building sections appear to indicate that this height is measured from FFE (rather than design grade), and if so, still remain above the maximum 24’ building height permitted in a Hillside Development Zone per UDC Section 5.2.7.A and require a Board of Adjustment Variance. Per the UDC Section 6.4.4.A, (Measurement of Building Height), “Building height is the vertical distance measured from the design grade elevation to the highest point of a flat roof; to the deck line of a mansard roof; or to the middle (between the eave and ridge ) of the highest gable of a pitched or hipped roof.”

RESUBMITTAL OF THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED: Revised residential building permit along with a detailed response letter, which states how all Zoning Review Section comments were addressed regarding HDZ Plan and building height measurement. To resubmit visit Tucson Development Center at https://tdc-online.tucsonaz.gov/#/home.
