| 01/09/2026 | Residential Zoning | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PDSD TRANSMITTAL FROM: Jeffrey W. Cassidy, Planner Planning & Development Services Department – Current Zoning Review Section PROJECT: TC-RES- Residential Building – Carport 8025 S LENNOX LN TUCSON, AZ 85747 (R-2 Zoning) Site Plan Review –3rd Review TRANSMITTAL DATE: January 09, 2026 This site is in the R-2 Residence Zone (UDC 4.7.9). A single-family residence is permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-2) subject to Use Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.6, .9, & .10. Plan review for the above referenced carport 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: The submitted site plan shall be a copy of the stamped approved Development Package, and the proposed duplex shall be clearly marked. 2. COMMENT: The site plan provided is incomplete. Provide a site plan that meets the requirements show in the plot plan example at the following link: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Permits/Plan-Examples/Plot-Plan-Example Specifically: A. Draw, label and dimension the missing the concrete masonry unit wall and gate along the east property line and shed/greenhouse in the northeast corner of the property and provide the heights of these structures. Be sure to include the dimensions from the shed to both the north and west property lines. B. The property line dimensions are not correct and thus, the drawing is incorrect. Refer to Pima County’s website https://onbase.pima.gov/publicaccess/DS_NextGen_Single/etc/cq/results.html?cqid=240&OBKey__552_1=40018 . The math of the property line lengths will produce the total parcel square footage. Be sure to include the missing 6’-0” Public Utility Easement (P.U.E.). C. Update the lot coverage calculation after adjusting the property line measurements and adding the two existing sheds. Per UDC Article 6.4.3.C.1.a roofed areas, porches, open on at least one side are NOT included in the calculation and per UDC Article 6.4.3.B.3.b Vehicular use areas, measured within the outside edges of any area allocated to vehicle use, whether improved or unimproved are included in the lot coverage. D. Provide dimension from centerline of E Adare Ln to curb. For the following information, refer to the paving plan on record https://maps-and-records.tucsonaz.gov/construction-plans/details/I-86-087 . E. Provide dimension from curb to property line. Based on Construction Plan https://maps-and-records.tucsonaz.gov/construction-plans/details/I-86-087 the existing wall appears to have been built in the right of way as a simple google street view indicates the wall flanking the right of way sidewalk when there should be distance from the west edge of the sidewalk to what would be the east face of the existing wall. See comments from the transportation reviewer for confirmation and clarification on this potential issue. 3. COMMENT: After reviewing the property documentation history in PRO, zoning could not verify any permit documentation for the existing greenhouse/shed in the northwest corner, the shed along the east property and the concrete masonry unit wall. The City's Unified Development Code (UDC) (Section 1.4.1.C) establishes that before the City issues any approvals or permits; we must confirm that a site complies with UDC standards. Therefore, as part of permit reviews, we review a site's permit history and compare it to aerial photography to confirm that unpermitted work has not occurred. In many cases, this does mean that a homeowner must apply for permits for unpermitted work before we can approve any new work on that site. Zoning will not be able to approve the permit application until the permit information is provided. If permit documentation cannot be provided and depending on its size, these structures may be included as a part of this permit application or applied for and issued under a different permit. Again, refer to the transportation reviewers’ comments for work that may have been executed in the right of way. 4. COMMENT: Per TABLE 6.3-2.A of the UDC (referenced below), the perimeter yard setback(s) along the north and west property line(s) are 6’-0” or 2/3 the height of the structure (in this case the proposed carport along the north property line and greenhouse along the north and west property lines), WHICHEVER DISTANCE IS GREATER. The carport is currently drawn at 11’-0” height along the north property line. Therefore, the setbacks required will be 7’-4” along the north property line. Currently, one dimension is showing 6’-0”, not meeting this standard. Depending on how far the greenhouse sits off these north and east property lines, there are three options: A. 1’-0” or more or 1-0” OR Less (encroaching in setback): Secure a neighbor setback waiver (provided below) signed and dated by the property owner(s) to the north and east (greenhouse) and north (carport): (Neighbor Waiver Sample – Copy and Paste, exactly as shown, onto Site Plan): 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:___________________________ Mi hombre es ________________ y yo soy el dueño de la propiedad ubicada en la _____________________. He revisado el plan y no tengo ninguna objeción a que estructura se encuentra o construye ____________ desde la línea de propiedad, como se muestra en el plan. Firma: _________________________Fecha:__________________________ B. 1’-0” or more from property line and unable to obtain neighbor waiver: If unsuccessful in the attempt to retrieve the neighbor waiver, there is a Design Development Option (or DDO) which affords an attempt to seek relief from the setback requirements. Know this is an extra 6-week review and the neighbors within 100’-0” are made aware of this attempt to seek relief from being in the setback. Zoning will not be able to approve the permit application until the DDO is approved. This information is linked here: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Planning-Zoning-Applications/Zoning-Administration#section-3 To submit a DDO application, apply for a new sub-record under this permit at TDC Online. Alert the zoning review you intend to pursue so they can create the sub-record for you ahead of your next submittal Jeffrey.cassidy@tucsonaz.gov https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/2/pdsd/documents/tdc-faq/new-pdfs/sub-records.pdf See below for more information on the DDO process. C. Less than 1’-0” from property line and unable to obtain neighbor waiver: If unsuccessful in your attempt to retrieve the neighbor waiver, a board of adjustment variance will be required to permit the structure as shown on the site. See variance requirements below. Zoning cannot approve this permit until the Board of Adjustment (B/A) Variance Process is completed and approved. See below for more information on the B/A Variance process. 5. COMMENT: Additional comments may be forthcoming on the next review based on responses to Zoning and other the PDSD reviewer comments.
