04/21/2026 Residential Zoning REQUIRES RESUBMIT PDSD TRANSMITTAL

FROM: Jeffrey W. Cassidy, Planner
Planning & Development Services Department – Current Zoning Review Section

PROJECT: TC-RES-0426-01701– Residential Building – New SFR
4010 N FAIRVIEW AV TUCSON, AZ 85705 (MU Zoning)
Site Plan Review – 1st Review

TRANSMITTAL DATE: April 21, 2026

This site is in the MU Residence Zone (UDC 4.7.23). A single-family residence is permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-7).

Plan review for the above referenced single-family residence has been completed. This letter reflects comments to be addressed. For facilitating a shorter back check time, please provide updated plans and calculations with a written response to each of the notated items indicating action taken. Do not cloud the changes made for comment updates; revisions are processed if changes occur after the permit is issued.

1. COMMENT: Zoning acknowledges a separate demolition permit was not submitted and was intended to be part of this permit. Per TCC Sec 23A.81.B.3 https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/tucson/latest/tucson_az/0-0-0-17969 , in order to receive impact fee credits for the demolition to be applied to the new construction, a separate demolition permit is required to be approved and inspections completed within 5 years of the permit for the new construction.

Provide a scaled site plan with the existing residence (and other structures) to be demolished, property lines and dimensions of not only the existing residence but dimensions from each side of the residence to the property line perpendicular to each side of the residence. Provide square footages of each structure to be demolished and the zoning of this parcel (MH).

Zoning cannot approve this permit until the demolition permit is approved.

2. COMMENT:

A. As part of the passing of Ordinance 12219 this past December of 2025, the following landscaping is required for all new single family residential, middle housing development, and accessory dwelling units, as of January 01, 2026, per UDC 7.6.10. https://middle-housing-cotgis.hub.arcgis.com/pages/Residential-Landscaping-Code

1. One tree / 1,000 floor area.

2. A 5’-0” wide strip of vegetative groundcover is required within the front yard setback per the calculation below (minus the sections that have a driveway and/or pedestrian sidewalk (from the street sidewalk to the units’ front entrance). Parcels with less than 30 lineal feet of street frontage may place the required ground cover in alternate locations indicated on the site plan.

(X Linear feet of Street Frontage) – (Y curb cut width) x (5 Foot Depth) = Z Square Feet of required vegetative groundcover.

3. Plants must be low to very low water use with a hardiness rating of 15 degrees Fahrenheit or lower and non-invasive. Options are listed in Section 5-02.5.0 of the Technical Standards Manual. Exceptions to these criteria or plants that are not listed in Section 5-02.5.0 of the Technical Standards Manual, may be approved by the PDSD Landscape Architect.

B. Required landscaping must be located as follows:

1. A minimum of fifty percent of the required canopy trees must be located within the front yard setback area.

i. Exception: If site constraints prevent new tree placement in a front yard, five shrubs may be substituted per required tree. Required trees must still be placed elsewhere on the site. Shrubs used as a substitute plant material for the required tree shall range from three feet in height by three feet in width, or larger. Shrubs must follow the relevant spacings from utility lines in section 5 01.5.11of the Technical Standards Manual but can be planted one radius of their mature width from foundations, enclosed sidewalks, sidewalks, and curbs.

2. Trees may be planted at varying distances apart.

3. Required landscaping is not restricted to the first 10 feet onto the property from the existing or future right-of-way line.

4. Newly planted trees must be placed at a minimum distance from existing or proposed City of Tucson-owned or private utility-owned lines, as found in section 5-01.5.11 of the Technical Standards Manual. Tree plantings are not permitted in El Paso Gas Easements or under overhead power lines.

5. Trees shall be placed a minimum of ten feet from the center of the tree trunk to any enclosed structure.

6. Trees shall be placed a minimum of five feet from the back of the sidewalk or curb. If this standard cannot be met, then root barriers are required and must be illustrated on the submitted construction plans.

7. Trees must be planted in a six-to-nine-inch depressed planting area of at least 50 square feet (four-foot radius, or alternatives as proposed) and at least ten feet away from a building foundation.

8. Existing, established trees on property, at least 4 inches trunk diameter at chest height, located at least ten feet from the foundation or with an unobstructed dripline at maturity, shall count toward this requirement. The root systems of existing trees used for this requirement must be protected from soil compaction during construction using perimeter protective fencing around the dripline. Established trees are not required to have a depressed planting area. Existing shrubs and vegetative groundcovers may also be used toward the required landscaping.

C. Vegetation shall be established, maintained, and sustained throughout its life in support of the City’s tree count, climate, and walkability goals. One of the following two options may be used:

1. Drip or bubbler irrigation with backflow protection. A simple irrigation system can be part of the domestic water supply for the residence.

2. Alternate methods, such as rainwater harvesting, hand watering, and greywater systems, as proposed by the property owner and approved by the PDSD Landscape Architect.

D. Example Site Plan with Landscape Graphics, etc. https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/2/pdsd/documents/plan-samples/full-site-plan_feb2026.pdf

3. COMMENT: The drawing scale does not match the scale listed on the site plan. Either update the plan view graphics or the scale listed so that both match.

4. COMMENT: The 6,849 square footage listed is on the site plan is incorrect. 67’-0” x 106’’-0” = 7,102 square feet. Update accordingly.

5. COMMENT: Currently, one parking space is depicted. Per UDC Table 7.4.4-1 and under the Residential Use Group and Single-Family Dwellings, 2 spaces per dwelling unit plus visitor parking required at a ratio of 0.25 space per unit.

6. COMMENT: Per the City of Tucson Inclusive Home Ordinance 10463: all new dwellings have a requirement to provide an “accessible route from public and common areas, including, but not limited to, a driveway or public street or sidewalk”. Draw, dimension, and label an accessible route from the driveway, sidewalk, or street to an accessible entrance. Ensure the route meets accessibility standards as articulated in Sections 402-404 of the Accessibility Standards
