09/03/2024 Site Zoning REQUIRES RESUBMIT FROM: PDSD Zoning Review Section

PROJECT: TC-RES-0724-03914
525 E AMARO PL. – R-2
Casita (1st Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: September 3, 2024

This comment was not addressed. COMMENTS: Resubmit revised drawings along with a detailed response letter, which states how all Zoning Review Section comments were addressed.

This site is located in the R-2 zone (UDC 4.7.9). A single-family residence (SFR) is a permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-2). See Use-Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.6, .9, & .10.

1. Clarify what you are proposing. Is this a 2nd dwelling unit or an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). If you are proposing an ADU clearly demonstrate that the requirements of UDC Article 6.6.3 are met.

2. The lot coverage calculation is not correct and should include the casita.

3. Based on aerial photos there is an addition on the east side of the existing house that appears some time after 2006 and some type of structure along the west side that appears some time after 2010. Zoning was not able to find approved permit documents for these additions. Either 1) provide approved permit documents and show the structures on the plot plan, 2) Show the structures on the plan to be removed, 3) Show the structures on the plan and provide perimeter yard setbacks and provide building plans for the structures.

Perimeter yard setbacks are based on a wall height measurement from design grade to the highest point of the exterior wall UDC Article 6.4.5.B & Figure 6.4.5-A. Where the wall meets the eave of the roof.

4. The minimum setback is the greater of six (6) feet, or two-thirds (2/3) the height of the structure’s wall facing each interior property line (Table 6.3-2.A). Based on a wall height of 11’-0” the required perimeter yard setback from the casita to the north property line is 7’-4”, proposed setback is 6’-0”. A Design Development Option (DDO) must be submitted and approved to reduce the required setback. DDO application and requirements can be found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Planning-Zoning-Applications/Zoning-Administration. If you have questions about the DDO application or process please contact Wyatt Berger at Wyatt.Berger@tucsonaz.gov or Georgia Pennington at Georgia.Pennington@tucsonaz.gov.
