Cassidy, Planner Planning & Development Services Department – Current Zoning Review Section PROJECT: TC-RES-0625-03175 – Residential Building – New ADU 918 W Santa Maria St Tucson, AZ 85706 (R-1 Zoning) Building Plan Review – 1st Review TRANSMITTAL DATE: July 25, 2025 This site is in the R-1 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. Plan review for the above referenced new ADU 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. SCOPE OF REVIEW: The scope of this plan review covers zoning, use(s), legal description, adjacent properties, setbacks (building or wall heights), dimensional standards, property permitting history, density (units/lot size), and lot calculation (enclosed building and structure, parking, and driveway versus overall lot size) requirements. All code references are to the Tucson, AZ Unified Development Code. All features were checked only to the extent allowed by the submittals provided. All portions of this project are assumed to meet or will meet other departmental requirements, conditions, and concerns before permit approval. RESUBMITTAL OF THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED: Correct the following plot (site) plan and elevation drawings, as noted in the comments below, along with a detailed response letter indicating responses to the review comments. PLANS: 1. 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 Of note, update the following: a) Scale depicted near site plan and title block is not representative of actual drawing and dimensions. Update drawing, dimensions and/or scale to reflect actual property. b) Paved driveway is not graphically accurately depicting site conditions. Additionally, it’s clear the land to the east of this driveway is also being used as a driveway and parking. Update accordingly, label and provide square footage. Update Lot coverage calculations. c) There is a concrete masonry unit wall (and gate) to the east of the carport (incorrectly labeled on the plans as an existing front porch). Include on plans graphically, label and provide accurate height. Remove graphic on site plan that is depicting this as a parking spot. d) Per Book 9, Page 125 Subdivision Plat Map, the east property line length is 137.83’ (correct the 81.84’ currently depicted to be 81.83’ for total math to equate to 137.83’). e) Setback note incorrectly includes “or 1.5 times to the height of the building wall”. Update accordingly. 2. COMMENT: Per 6.6.3.B.4, “If the accessory dwelling unit is built as a new structure, it must be developed with a high albedo level (>60 SRI) or other cool roof technology per the ICC Green Construction Code.” Update elevation drawings to include this specification. 3. COMMENT: Additional comments may be forthcoming on the next review based on responses to Zoning and other the PDSD reviewer comments.
