TRANSMITTAL DATE: June 9, 2023

Provided a detail comment response letter with your submittal that clearly shows how you have addressed all comments with your next submittal.

This site is located in the R-2 zone (UDC 4.7.9). A single-family residence (SFR) is a permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-2). See Use-Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.6, .9, & .10.

1. Based on aerial photos there is a porch addition at the northeast corner of the dwelling that shows up sometime after 2020. Zoning was not able to find approved permit documents for this addition. The porch addition will need to be included in this permit.

2. The lot coverage calculation is not correct. Per UDC Article 6.4.3.C.a porch type structures, open on at least one side, which provide shelter to exterior areas, such as balconies, entrances, stoops, and terraces, are not included in the lot coverage

3. Provide a perimeter yard setback from the storage addition to the west property line.

4. If the perimeter yard setback from the storage addition to the west property line is less than 1’-0” a Board of adjustment for Variance will be required to reduce the setback. If 1’-0” or greater a Design Development Option (DDO) will be required to reduce the setback. The minimum setback to the west property line is the greater of six (6) feet, or two-thirds (2/3) the height of the structure’s wall facing each interior property line (Table 6.3-2.A).

A Board of Adjustment for Variance must be submitted and approved. Board of Adjustment application and requirements can be found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/pdsd/zoning-administration-applications. And DDO application and requirements can be found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/pdsd/forms/DDO_for_Setback_and_Height_UDC_8.11.20.pdf.
