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-1 zone (UDC 4.7.1). A single-family residence (SFR) is a permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-2). See Use-Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.5 - 9. 10.

1. Clarify what this permit is for. Based on the proposed addition and converting the detached garage to a 2nd dwelling unit this would require to separate permits. Zoning was not able to find the 2nd permit.

2. Clarify if the garage conversion will be and accessory dwelling unit (ADU) or a 2nd dwelling unit
3. Provide the property dimensions on the site plan. If you proposed an ADU Clearly demonstrate that the requirements UDC Articles 4.9.7.B.6, 8, & 9 and 6.6.3 are met and if this is a 2nd dwelling unit UDC Articles 4.9.7.B.5 – 9 apply.

4. Remove the 5’-)’ setback lines as they are not correct. Minimum setback in the R-1 zone along the interior property line is the greater of 6’-0” or 2/3 (H) height of the exterior wall.

Based on the La Madera final plat found at: https://onbase.pima.gov/publicaccess/DS_NextGen_Single/etc/cq/results.html?cqid=240&OBKey__552_1=07092, there is a 5’ utility easement along the north end of this property. Show this easement on the plan and provide the recordation information, Book 7 Page 92, on the plan.

6. 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. As wall heights were not provided from design grade and a wall height was not provided for the Casita west elevation Zoning cannot determine required perimeter yard setbacks. Once the required dimensions are provided additional comments may be forth coming.

7. As the existing garage does not appear to meet the minimum 6’-0” perimeter yard setback to either north or west property line a neighbors setback waiver is required. To secure this neighbor setback waiver the following statement must be provided on the plot plan and be signed and dated by the adjacent property owner(s):
