| 02/27/2026 | Residential Zoning | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PDSD TRANSMITTAL FROM: Jeffrey W. Cassidy, Planner Planning & Development Services Department – Current Zoning Review Section PROJECT: TC-RES-0625-02965– Residential Building – Closing of car port closing back porch adding bathroom and closet 8029 E 18TH PL TUCSON, AZ 85710 - Rev 3 (R-1 Zoning) Site Plan Review – R-1 Review TRANSMITTAL DATE: February 27, 2026 This site is in the R-1 Residence 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 for 1 unit; 4.9.7.B.1 - .9, & .11 for 2 units (min. 10,000 sq ft lot size required). 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. Plan review for the above referenced carport and porch 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 previous zoning review comment (Review #1 / Comment 6) regarding the unpermitted shed along the south property line has still not been addressed. COMMENT RESTATED: The portable metal shed along the south property line appears to not meet the minimum setback, which is 5’-0”. Per UDC Article 6.6.2.D, an accessory structure that is detached from a principal structure shall comply with the perimeter yard width standards of the principal structure, except that the accessory structure may be built to a parcel line with the consent of the adjoining or, when separated by an alley, adjacent property owner(s). Depending on how far the existing sheds sits off the south property line, there are three options: A. Distance is 1’-0” or more or 1-0” OR Less (encroaching in setback): If the structure is unhabitable, attempt to Secure a neighbor setback waiver (provided below) signed and dated by the property owner(s) to the south as this can be the easiest way to resolve this requirement: (Neighbor Waiver Sample – COPY AND PASTE ALL WAIVERS ONTO SITE PLAN EXACTLY AS SHOWN BELOW): 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. Distance is 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. Distance is 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. 2. COMMENT: After reviewing the property documentation history in Property Research Online (PRO), zoning could not verify any permit documentation for the existing rooftop solar system installed around 2023 approximately. Zoning will not be able to approve the permit application until the permit information is provided. If permit documentation cannot be provided a separate rooftop mounted solar permit will be required. 3. COMMENT: Additional comments may be forthcoming on the next review based on responses to Zoning and other PDSD reviewer comments.
