PROJECT: TC-RES-0524-03092
6001 E 5TH ST TUCSON, AZ 85711 – R-1 Zoning
Existing carport converted into living space (2nd Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: 09/27/2024

This site is located in the R-1 zone (UDC 4.7.8). A single-family residence is permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-2) subject to Use Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.5 - .9

COMMENTS: Please resubmit revised drawings and a detailed response letter, which states how all Zoning Review Section comments were addressed.

The site plan should be designed to include the information as noted on the sample plot plan. See the link for the information that is required: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/permits/residential-permits/residential_plot_plan_requirements.pdf .

The following comments were not addressed in full.

1. Comment: Clarify the description of work. Is this permit for a conversion into a new living room per the resubmitted floor plan label; OR is this for a conversion into a bedroom per the description on the permit application.
2. Comment: Draw, label, and dimension the perimeter yard setbacks from the west property line to the northwest and southwest corners of the new addition. Draw, label, and dimension the setbacks from the north property line to the northwest and northeast corners of the Gazebo (To verify the gazebo meets setback compliance). Draw, label, and dimension the setbacks to the existing shed from the north and east property lines.
3. Comment: Draw, label, and dimension street information for Sonoita Ave and 5th Street, as depicted on the sample plot plan. The street information includes dimensioned back of curb to property line and center line to the property line. See the link above for the information that is required on the plot plan.
4. Comment: Draw, label, and dimension the alley to the north.
5. Comment: Provide on the elevation sheet drawn and dimensioned height of the gazebo.
6. Comment 6A: Upon further review it appears that a porch on the south of the home was converted into an unpermitted 5th bedroom sometime between 2014 and 2016. This unpermitted addition will need to be permitted before Zoning can approve this review. This unpermitted bedroom conversion may be included as part of this permit application.

Or provide the permit documentation for the 5th bedrooms construction date as I am not able to confirm any permit activity. (You can request documentation through the historic records request (If there is no permit history for this bedroom, Zoning will not be able to approve the permit application until the permit information is provided, it is included within this permit application, or is applied for and issued under a different permit.)

Comment 6B: Clarify for this property what is considered the front yard of the property and what is the side and rear yards of the property.


Comment 6C: With a full floor plan, 6 bedrooms have been verified (The new living room and office are recognized as a bedroom and meets its definition, per UDC 11.4.3).

Per UDC 4.9.7.B.7 - Six bedrooms in the R-1 Zone require 4 parking spaces. Parking spaces Must be drawn on the site plan and located on the “side” or “rear” of the yard, not the front yard. A dustproof parking surface is required to at least a minimum of two inches of compacted pea gravel. An existing covered residential parking area may be used.

Comment 6D: Note – Zoning will not consider the new proposed living room a 6th bedroom with the removal of the existing 6 ft. sliding glass door. In which case for five bedrooms, 3 parking spaces will be required and located on the “side” or “rear” of the yard, not the front yard. UDC 4.9.7.B.7.


7. Comment: Clarify if the gazebo and shed have installed utilities or not. (If utilities have been installed on these accessory structures additional building permits may be required.)

8. Comment: With a full site plan, it can be verified the 80 square foot shed is less than 6 feet to the east adjacent property line. The perimeter yard setback for this structure does to not comply with the R-1 perimeter yard of 6 feet or 2/3 (H) height. At a minimum a neighbors setback waiver will be required, UDC Article 6.6.2.D. To secure this neighbor setback waiver the following statement must be provided on the plot plan and be signed and dated by the adjacent property (6015 E 5TH ST TUCSON, AZ 85711-2503) owner(s) (LE PHUOC N):

My Name is____________________ and I am the owner of the property located at_______________________. I have reviewed the site plan and I have no objection to structure being located or constructed________ feet from the property line as depicted on the site plan.

Signature: _____________________________

Date: _________________________________


9. Comment: Additional comments may be forthcoming on the next review based on the proposed use for the addition and applicable use specific standards.


The following comments are related to the Design Development Option (DDO)

1. DDO Comment: The perimeter yard setback along the Northern property line does not comply with the minimum setback. Per UDC 6.3-2.A, the minimum perimeter yard setback is the greater of 6’-0” or 2/3 (H) height of the exterior wall. The shed encroaches into the required perimeter yard and will require the approval of a Design Development Option (DDO) before zoning can approve this permit.
The below paperwork can be filled out and submitted with the next submission.
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
