| 07/06/2026 | Residential Zoning | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PDSD TRANSMITTAL FROM: Roxanne Johnston, Planner PROJECT: TC-RES-0626-03340 5725 E 8th St., Tucson AZ 85711 Sleeping Quarters (1st Review) TRANSMITTAL DATE: 07/06/2026 This site is located within the R-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. 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. Reference the proposed accessory structure as a ‘Sleeping Quarters’ throughout the plans. It is clear not only by the request but also evident from the floor plan that it will not contain a kitchen stove, sink and full-size refrigerator which an Accessory Dwelling Unit typically contains. ADUs (intended for living) are assessed impact fees and require landscaping and ADA external access. If this is truly a ‘sleeping quarters’ (not intended for living), it will not be assessed impact fees nor will it require landscaping and ADA access outside of the unit. 2. Obtain neighbor waivers from the owners of 5726 E 7th St. and 5719 E 8th St. The proposed accessory structure is located within the required 5’ side and rear setbacks which will either require these waivers or a Design Development Option (DDO) if obtaining waivers is not possible. Unless the structure is moved out of the setbacks, site zoning will not be able to approve the site plan until this is resolved. Neighbor waivers are to be applied directly to the site plan and should read something similar to the following: My name is _________ and I am the owner of the property located at _________________. I have reviewed the site plan and I have no objection to structure being located or constructed ____ feet from the property line as depicted on the site plan. Signature: ____________ Date:_________ Mi hombre es ____ _____ y yo soy el dueño de la propiedad ubicada en la ____________. He revisado el plan y no tengo ninguna objeción a que estructura se encuentra o construye ______ desde la línea de propiedad, como se muestra en el plan. Firma: ___________ Fecha: _____________ Again, if neighbor waivers are not possible, a DDO is required. To submit an application for a DDO, please resubmit the package using the link and follow the instructions below: www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/planning-amp-zoning/ddo-for-setback-and-height.pdf Submit a DDO application under the Zoning Modification sub-record that you will create . For instructions on how to apply for a sub-record, visit the following link: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/tdc-faq/new-pdfs/sub-records_071425.pdf . This application takes about 6 weeks from the time the DDO application has been accepted. For questions regarding the DDO process, please contact Georgia Pennington at georgia.pennington@tucsonaz.gov 3. Recalculate the Lot Coverage on Sheet A-1. Porches, patios and ramadas are open structures and do not count towards total lot coverage per Unified Development Code (UDC) 6.4.3.C. 4. The Project Data block on Sheet A-1 does not align with the Lot Coverage Calculation block. 5. Additional comments may be forthcoming depending on responses to zoning review comments and plans submitted for the next review. The City of Tucson Unified Development Code may be accessed here: www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Codes/Zoning-Code .
