Submit your revised reports along with a response letter which states how all Building Review Section comments were addressed. The submitted documents were incomplete, and a thorough plan review could not be performed. Please be aware, new comments may arise with the next review. Review will not proceed without the response letter. Should you have any questions about these comments, I can be reached at ian.gillaspie@tucsonaz.gov.
COMMENTS:
1. Please provide a site plan showing property setback dimensions (R106.1.1).
2. Based on aerial photos the carport appears to be within the required 3’ fire separation distance (with the eaves potentially going beyond the property line). Unfortunately this would require compliance with a 1 hr rated fire wall assembly along with bringing the eaves into compliance with adopted code R302.1.
3. The adopted building code referenced can be found here: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/2/pdsd/documents/building-code/2024-international-residential-code-amendments.pdf
4. Please also include rafter sizing/spacing, roofing material, and hardware connection types (R106.1.1).
5. Please correct and resubmit.

06/16/2026 Residential Zoning REQUIRES RESUBMIT PDSD TRANSMITTAL

FROM: Claire Leighou, Planner

PROJECT: TC-RES-0626-02998

826 E SENECA ST

As-Built Carport (1st Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: 6/16/26

Please resubmit revised drawings with a detailed response letter stating how all Zoning Review Section comments were addressed.

This site is located in the NR-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.

Comment 1: Please include a site plan with the next submittal so that zoning staff may conduct a complete application review. A sample site plan is linked below and should be used as a guide for what is to be included: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/2/pdsd/documents/plan-samples/full-site-plan_feb2026.pdf. Please include the following details in the site plan:

Property lines and lot dimensions, which are 55.96’ by 158.19’, per area subdivision plat map, found here (block 2, lot 4): https://maps-and-records.tucsonaz.gov/subdivisions/details/1145

Footprints of all existing structures on the site. Please draw, label, and dimension setback measurements between all structures and adjacent property lines.

The location of the existing carport to be permitted. Include setback measurements between the structure and the front and side property lines, height, length and width, and square footage. Please note the setback measurements should be taken from the posts of the carport, and not the edge of the roofline.

Lot coverage calculations, including all enclosed structures/livable space, accessory structures/sheds, and garages/carports & vehicular use/maneuvering space/parking. Please include a total lot coverage percentage.

Label the adjacent street (E Seneca St). Include a scale and north arrow.

Property owner information, property address, zoning designation (NR-1 Residential), and project description. Include that the property is located in a Neighborhood Preservation Zone – Jefferson Park.

Comment 2: Per UDC 6.6.3.C, “Detached accessory buildings are not permitted in the buildable area extending the full width of the lot between the principal building and the front street lot line, except for shade structures or carports not over 400 square feet in floor area...” Based on the provided plans of the carport, the total area is approximately 586 SF. The minimum required street perimeter yard (setback distance) is 20’ for carports and garages which face the street, per UDC 6.4.5.C.1.b.

Based on a visual assessment of the site using MapTucson aerial imagery, the apparent proximity to the property lines and size of this carport will likely trigger the need for a Board of Adjustment Variance to become permitted. For more information about the variance process, please contact Mark Castro at Mark.Castro@tucsonaz.gov.

Comment 3: Final zoning comments are pending review of a complete site plan.

The Unified Development Code (UDC) can be found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Codes/Zoning-Code
