Draw, label and dimension everything that exists on the property to a scalable drawing graphic (examples include the principal residence, porches, breezeways, sidewalks, driveways, parking spots, walls, fences, ramada, shed, carport, shade sail, cistern, pool, guest house, sleeping quarters, accessory dwelling unit) and provide dimensions of any structure as it relates to nearby structures and property lines and provide the heights (measured from above finish grade to top of wall, etc.) of those structures that run parallel-perpendicular to any nearby adjacent property lines. B. Refer to Pima County’s website https://gis.pima.gov/maps/detail.cfm?&parcel=117030740 to locate and provide the parcel number, legal description, subdivision name, book and page numbers, township-section and range, sequence number on the plot plan.

Refer to Pima County’s website https://www.asr.pima.gov/ParcelData/Map/Arm/COT_ALL/COT_D005.pdf . The math of the property line lengths will produce the total parcel square footage. Be aware that some easements may require referring to the title report of the property (procure at title company if not already in possession. For example, this is especially significant in avoiding building in a utility easement where the provider may need regular access to service. Any need to build within the easement would then require written approval from the utility provider within that easement. D.

Calculate (measure) square footage of every enclosed (NOT open structures like a porch, ramada, carport) structure on site and all vehicular use area (driveway, parking, turnaround, backup) and input into lot coverage calculation table. A carport would be calculated under vehicular use area. These separate ‘category numbers are added together and divided by the total parcel square footage to produce the lot coverage percentage that demonstrates compliance (or not). E. Draw, label and dimension the principal residence graphic to be representative of that via Pima County’s website (property record card) https://www.asr.pima.gov/ParcelData/prc/11703/0740.pdf .
