Building Plan Review (1st Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: July 29, 2025

This site is located in the HR-3 zone (UDC 4.7.10). The property is within the Armory Park Historic Preservation Zone.

1. (Comment) According to the Pima County Assessor’s Parcel Map for this site (located at https://www.asr.pima.gov/ParcelData/Map/Arm/MP03/03033.PDF), this parcel measures 75’ x 61.6’ for a total dimension of 4,620 sf. Per UDC Table 6.3-2.A, an R-3 zoned property has a minimum lot site of 5,000 sf.

A lot that is less than the minimum required size may be developed with a single-family dwelling if it meets the stipulations of UDC 6.4.2.B.3, which in part states, “3. A lot which is less than the minimum lot area required by the applicable zone may be developed with a single-family dwelling when all of the following apply: a. The lot was existing and of record on September 20, 1948, or was legally created under Pima County jurisdiction and of record at the time of annexation;…”

According to the parcel genealogy available on the Pima County Assessor’s website, this parcel appears to have been created in 1998. As such, it does not meet the requirements to allow a single-family dwelling and Site Zoning cannot approve this permit.

2. (Comment) Provide half street right-of-way information on the site plan, to include distances from the half right-of-way, curb, and sidewalk to the front property line.

The paving plan drawings with this information can be accessed at: https://maps-and-records.tucsonaz.gov/construction-plans/details/I-438. See the file titled “i-438_003.TIF”. Per the paving plan, the distance from the half-street is 39.6’ and the distance from front of curb to the front property line is 12’. Label the width of the named alley (Herbert Av) as 26.4’

3. (Comment) Per UDC 6.4.5.C.1.a, the minimum required front street perimeter yard is 20’ as measured from the property line and 10’ from a side street. Only 8’ is shown from E 17th St and 6’ from S Herbert Av. As this property is within the Armory Park Historic Preservation Zone, the HPZ design review board may permit reduced setbacks for the main dwelling and the parking area fabric shade.

4. (Comment) Based upon a proposed 12’ height from design grade, the minimum required setback from the eastern property line is 7’ 11” per underlying zoning; only 7’ 6” is shown. As this property is within the Armory Park Historic Preservation Zone, the HPZ design review board may permit reduced setback.

5. (Comment) Provide approximate dimensions for the parking area fabric shade, as well as setback distance from the shade to the southern and western property line.

6. (Comment) Separate the “Porch & Entry” square footage from the “Proposed Lot Coverage” calculation; only enclosed structures and vehicular use areas are part of lot coverage calculations.

7. (Comment) Completion of the Historic Preservation Zoning Design Review Process is required before Site Zoning can provide final approval of this permit.

RESUBMITTAL OF THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED: This permit cannot be approved unless proof of City of Tucson approval for a lot of nonconforming size can be provided. In addition, a corrected site plan and HPZ Design Review Board approval of special districts application SD-0725-00150 is required.
