PROJECT: TC-RES-0723-06656
4821 East Melissa Street – R-1
Shade sail carport (CE-VIO0723-04461) (2nd Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: September 26, 2024

The following comments are relative to a Board of Adjustment variance (UDC 3.10.3).

1. Remove any existing or proposed patios from the lot coverage calculation. Per Tucson Unified Development Code (UDC) 6.4.3.C.1.a, patios are not included in the lot coverage calculation.

2. Show all structures on the site plan. Several shade sails in the backyard appear in aerial photography dated May 16, 2024. Provide the square footage of all shade sails as well. At least two of the existing shade sails will require a signed neighbor setback waiver to eliminate the setback along the east property line. The waiver shall be signed by the owner of 4827 East Melissa Street and pasted directly onto the site plan with the following language:

My name is ________ and I am the owner of property located at ________. I have reviewed the site plan and have no objection to the shade sails being located on the property line as depicted on the site plan.

Signature: ________

Date: ________

3. Per UDC 6.4.5.D.3.a, detached shade structures carports may be constructed up to ten feet into the required setback. As such, the required front street setback is 10’-0” as measured from the posts of the carport to the street property line.

Label the proposed setback between the shade sail carport and the street property line. Please note that the street property line is located one foot behind the existing sidewalk as indicated in paving plan I-617: https://maps-and-records.tucsonaz.gov/construction-plans/details/I-617. If the required front street setback cannot be met, a process such as a Design Development Option (DDO) or Board of Adjustment variance can be utilized to reduce the setback.

4. Per UDC 6.6.3.E, the total gross floor area (gfa) of all accessory structures shall not exceed 50% of the gfa of the principal structure. Accessory structures less than 200 square feet gfa are exempt from this requirement.

Based on the size of the existing garage and shop and of the proposed shade sail carport, a Board of Adjustment variance required to allow the total gfa of all the above structures to exceed 50% of the gfa of the existing dwelling.
