| 06/18/2026 | Residential Engineering | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | Permit Activity Number: TC-RES-0626-03107 (1st Review) Project: Convert two car garage into an ADU - Additional Dwelling Unit Location: 2215 E WAVERLY ST Review Date: 6/18/2026 Reviewer: Marco Contreras – Engineering Associate - Site Engineering Reviewer Contact: Marco.contreras@tucsonaz.gov Related cases: Plan review for the above referenced structure has been completed. This letter reflects comments to be addressed to ensure final approval from Site Engineering.

In your response letter, address each comment individually and explain what changes were made and where they can be found in the plans.

Submit your response letter and updated plan set as two separate files. Site Engineering Review Comments: 1. The City of Tucson Inclusive Home Design Ordinance requires all new dwellings — including ADUs, single-family residences, and duplexes — to provide an accessible route connecting the public street, sidewalk, or driveway to an accessible entrance of the home. This pathway must be shown, dimensioned, and labeled on the plans. What this means in plain terms: There needs to be a clearly defined, walkable path from where a person arrives (the street, sidewalk, or driveway) all the way to a usable door of the home — one that someone using a wheelchair or mobility aid could navigate without barriers. An exterior accessible route that shall conform to 2017 ICC A117.1 Sections 402 and 403 and City of Tucson Inclusive Home Design Ordinance. Reference: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/city-services/planning-development-services/documents/inclusivehomedesignordinance.pdf Action Items — Show the following on your plans: • Draw and label the path as "Accessible Route" • Provide a minimum clear width of 4 feet with a width call-out on the plans • Note the proposed running slope (must not exceed 5% / 1:20) and cross slope (must not exceed 2% / 1:50) • Identify the accessible entrance the route leads to Acceptable Accessible Route compositions include: • Portland cement concrete (PCC) • Broom Finished concrete • Brick or unit pavers (Only if set on a stable cement base with no gaps exceeding ½”) • Concrete pavers on concrete base (Same joint and evenness requirements as brick) • Flagstone: must be mortared – loose set does not qualify • Any surfaces equivalent in smoothness, hardness, and durability NOTICE: Decomposed granite (DG) is not permitted for required accessible routes, even if compacted 2. Revise the code analysis on the cover sheet to be compliant with the most current code adoptions for the city of Tucson – City of Tucson adopted IRC 2024 with all other applicable regulations, the only one to remain as 2018 edition would be the energy code. 3. Revise the site plan provided to include applicable property boundaries, as well as setback distances for all structures that exist on the property. |
