| 04/20/2026 | Residential Zoning | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PDSD TRANSMITTAL FROM: Roxanne Johnston Planner PROJECT: TC-RES-0426-01657 515 E 1st St., Tucson, AZ 85705 Carport to Pool House (1st Review) TRANSMITTAL DATE: 04/20/2026 This site is located within the HR-2 Zone (UDC 4.7.9). A single-family residence is a permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-2) subject to Use Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.6, .9, & .10. RESUBMITTAL OF THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED: Please correct plans, as noted in the comments below, along with a response letter indicating how all Site Zoning comments were addressed. 1. The property is located within the West University Historic District. Historic review is required. Please see instructions in the comments made by the Historic team in their 4/15/2026 review. Site Zoning is unable to approve the permit until the Historic Review Design Package has been approved. Once approved, please upload the decision letter with the site plan and other relevant materials under the portal for TC-RES-0426-01657. 2. Perimeter setbacks shown on the Site Plan (Sheet 1) have changed through the adoption of Ordinance No. 12219, an amendment to the Unified Development Code (UDC), linked below, specifically UDC Table 6.3-2.a. Residential side and rear setbacks are now 5’ from their respective property lines for interior lots. Please change the site plan to reflect these setbacks. 3. Please recalculate the lot coverage by removing the square footage of the porch as only enclosed, vehicle use areas, carports and enclosed storage areas count towards lot coverage per UDC 6.4.3.B.3.a-c. 4. Please change the description of the project listed on Sheet 1. Pool-house is not specifically defined in the Unified Development Code. Sheet 6 shows a stove in the proposed unit. The presence of a stove indicates that the structure is an Accessory Dwelling Unit, (ADU). A mini-fridge is also shown. Please be aware that an ADU may contain a stove and a full-sized refrigerator but that ADU’s also trigger impact fees and landscaping requirements. What the code calls ‘sleeping quarters’ is not assessed impact fees. Sleeping quarters may not contain a stove nor full-sized refrigerator and are not required to have a landscape plan per UDC (as amended) 6.6.8. In other words, with the next set of plans, state whether the proposed pool house is an ADU or a sleeping quarters (this may also be useful for the Historic Review) and demonstrate the appliances accordingly. If the proposed unit is an ADU, per UDC 7.6.8, (as amended per Ordinance No. 12219), a landscaping plan per is required. Please visit the following link for the requirements: https://middle-housing-cotgis.hub.arcgis.com/pages/Residential-Landscaping-Code 6. If the proposed unit is an ADU, ADA requirements are triggered. Per the City of Tucson Inclusive Home Design Ordinance : https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/city-services/planning-development-services/documents/inclusivehomedesignordinance.pdf all new dwellings are required to provide a 4’-wide “accessible route from public and common areas, including, but not limited to, a driveway or public street or sidewalk”. 7. Additional comments may be forthcoming depending on responses to zoning review comments and plans submitted for the next review. The City of Tucson Unified Development Code (currently being updated) may be accessed at this site: https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/tucson/latest/tucson_az_udc/0-0-0-1 Ordinance No. 12219, adopted January 1, 2026: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/middle-housing/middle-housing-ordinance-clean.pdf For questions regarding Zoning comments, please contact me at: roxanne.johnston@tucsonaz.gov |
