| 06/16/2026 | Residential Zoning | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PDSD TRANSMITTAL FROM: Roxanne Johnston Planner PROJECT: TC-RES-0626-02979 241 W Lee St., Tucson, AZ 85705 Carport Conversion to ADU (1st Review) TRANSMITTAL DATE: 06/16/2026 This site is located within the R-2 Zone (UDC 4.7.9). A single-family residence is a permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-2) subject to Use Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.6, .9, & .10. RESUBMITTAL OF THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED: Correct plans, as noted in the comments below, along with a response letter indicating how all Site Zoning comments were addressed. 1. Revise the site plan to demonstrate total lot coverage. This includes the ground floor square footage of all enclosed and vehicle use areas divided by the lot size. The resulting number will be a percentage. 2. Provide a landscape plan. Since January 1, 2026, via Ordinance No. 12219 (an amendment to the Unified Development Code), landscaping is required for all new single-family residential, middle housing development, and accessory dwelling units. A landscape plan is to be applied directly to the site plan and the instructions were designed to avoid hiring a landscape architect. Here is the instruction link: https://middle-housing-cotgis.hub.arcgis.com/pages/Residential-Landscaping-Code Essentially, one tree will be required in the front yard (per 1,000 sf of new development, which the ADU is), and then the front width of the lot minus the driveway multiplied by 5 to arrive at the ground cover requirements. Add which plants will be used and the preferred method of watering to the site plan. Trees need to be planted 5 feet from the sidewalk and 10 feet away from any structure. Additional requirements are provided in the link. 3. Per the City of Tucson Inclusive Home Design Ordinance (https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/city-services/planning-development-services/documents/inclusivehomedesignordinance.pdf ), all new dwellings have a requirement to provide an “accessible route from public and common areas, including, but not limited to, a driveway or public street or sidewalk”. Draw, dimension, and label an accessible route from the driveway (or apron), sidewalk, or street to an accessible entrance. Ensure the route meets accessibility standards as articulated in Sections 402-404 of the ADA Accessibility Standards (https://www.access-board.gov/ada/chapter/ch04/). See TSM 7-01.4.3 for specifications, including slope and composition materials. The accessible route should be a minimum of 4’ in width. 4. Modify the parking spots and vehicle use area shown on the site plan. Per UDC 4.9.7.B.12: “Parking for middle housing is required per UDC Table 7.4.4-1. Required parking may be met with on-street parking or waived if the site is within a quarter-mile walking distance of an “All Ages and Abilities Bikeway” as defined by the Department of Transportation and Mobility or a public transit route. Parking provided is exempt from Section 7.6.4, Landscape Standards. Front yards are permitted one driveway no more than 20 feet in width and up to 400 square feet of additional vehicular use area.” The site is eligible for a parking waiver because the property is within ¼ mile of both a public transit stop and an approved bicycle path. If interested in applying for a parking waiver, add “Middle Housing” to the site plan and state that the property is within Public Transit Line Nos. 10, 16 & 19. Here is the link to the parking waiver map: https://middle-housing-cotgis.hub.arcgis.com/pages/Parking-Waiver-Eligibility 5. Please label the height for the elevations. 6. Additional comments may be forthcoming depending on responses to zoning review comments and plans submitted for the next review. If you have any questions about this transmittal, please contact Roxanne Johnston at roxanne.johnston@tucsonaz.gov . |
