| 07/14/2025 | Site Zoning - Standard | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PDSD TRANSMITTAL FROM: Bobby Parsons Zoning Section Review PROJECT: TC-RES-0625-03021 1509 N. Van Buren Ave Tucson, AZ 85712 New Sleeping Quarters (1st Review) TRANSMITTAL DATE: 7/14/2025 This site is located in the R-1 zone (UDC 4.7.8). A single-family residence is a 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 along with a detailed response letter which states how all Zoning Review Section comments were addressed. 1. Comment: The site plan should be designed to include the information as noted on the sample site plan. Please see https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/permits/residential-permits/residential_plot_plan_requirements.pdf for reference. 2. Comment: Please draw, label, and dimension the ½ Right of Way from the centerline to the face of curb and from the face of curb to the property line along N. Van Buren Avenue. Refer to Paving Improvement Plan I-843 if needed: https://maps-and-records.tucsonaz.gov/construction-plans/details/I-843. 3. Comment: Per UDC 6.4.3.C.1, “Roofed areas, open on at least one side, which provide shelter to exterior areas such as balconies, entrances, stoops, and terraces, provided they are not used for utilities, maintenance, laundry, storage, or motor vehicle parking are excluded from lot coverage calculations.” Please remove the existing Gazebo from your lot coverage calculations and update the total. 4. Comment: As this property is located in the R-1 zone, please include a detailed floor plan of the entire house to ensure compliance with Unified Development Code 4.9.7.B.7. 5. Comment: Site zoning is unable to approve the building permit until the Design Development Option (DDO) has been approved. Please see below. 6. Comment: The following comments are related to an application for a Design Development Option (DDO) (UDC 3.11.1): The minimum required setback in the R-1 zone is the greater of six (6) feet or two-thirds (2/3) the height of the structure’s exterior wall facing each interior property line (UDC Table 6.3-2.A). Based on a proposed wall height of 12’ for the new sleeping quarters, the minimum required setback to both the West and South property lines is 8’. The proposed setback for the sleeping quarters to both the West and South property line is only 3’. The proposed reduced setback will require approval through the DDO application process. Please apply for your DDO as a sub record in the permit workflow. If needed, please reach out to Mark Castro at Mark.Castro@tucsonaz.gov or Georgia Pennington at Georgia.Pennington@tucsonaz.gov for questions about the DDO process. https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/planning-amp-zoning/ddo_for_setback_and_height_udc.pdf.
