PROJECT: TC-RES-0724-04490 – Residential Building – Front Porch Addition
3211 S Mead Av Tucson, AZ 85730 (R-1 Zoning)
Building Plan Review – 3rd Zoning Review

TRANSMITTAL DATE: June 24, 2025

This site is in the R-1 zone (UDC 4.7.8). A single-family residence is permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-2) subject to Use Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.5 - .9.

Plan review for the above referenced porch has been completed. This letter reflects comments to be addressed. For facilitating a shorter back check time, please provide updated plans and calculations with a written response to each of the notated items indicating action taken. Do not cloud the changes made for comment updates; revisions are processed if changes occur after the permit is issued.

SCOPE OF REVIEW:
The scope of this plan review covers zoning, use(s), legal description, adjacent properties, setbacks (building or wall heights), dimensional standards, property permitting history, density (units/lot size), and lot calculation (enclosed building and structure, parking, and driveway versus overall lot size) requirements. All code references are to the Tucson, AZ Unified Development Code. All features were checked only to the extent allowed by the submittals provided. All portions of this project are assumed to meet or will meet other departmental requirements, conditions, and concerns before permit approval.

RESUBMITTAL OF THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED:
Correct the following plot (site) plan, as noted in the comments below, along with a detailed response letter indicating responses to the review comments.

PLANS:

1. COMMENT: The site plan provided is incomplete. Provide a site plan that meets the requirements show in the plot plan example at the following link: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Permits/Plan-Examples/Plot-Plan-Example

a) Per the 1st zoning review comments (dated September 10, 2024), Comment #1e:

Provide a dimension from the centerline of Mead to the face of curb, where pavement meets the concrete curb, and from face of curb to the west property line. Per Construction Plan I-62-018 found at: https://maps-and records.tucsonaz.gov/construction-plans/details/I-62-018 the distance from centerline to face of curb is 16’, and from face of curb is 9’.

b) Per the 1st zoning review comments (dated September 10, 2024), Comment #2:

Per Unified Development Code (UDC) Article 6.4.5.B.2 setbacks for porch type structures are measured from the post supporting the porch. Clearly show the posts on the plot plan and provide a setback dimension from the post to the west property line.

c) Per the 1st zoning review comments (dated September 10, 2024), Comment #3:
Per UDC Article 6.4.5.C.1.a, the minimum street perimeter yard setback is 20’-0”. As the porch does not appear to meet the required street perimeter yard setback 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#section-3

If you have questions about the DDO application or process, please contact Mark Castro at Mark.Castro@tucsonaz.gov or Georgia Pennington at Georgia.Pennington@tucsonaz.gov.

d) Drawing scale appears to be 1” = 20’-0”. Clarify this to be true and remove the 1” = 10’-0” label.

e) Provide elevation drawings of proposed porch and dimension the heights.

f) Provide zoning label for property directly across 3211.

g) The site plan graphic provided isn’t consistent with what zoning currently is able to see on City of Tucson GIS Map Tucson. It appears there is a rear porch attached to the principal residence in the southeast corner of the plan. Update plan graphic and label what part of this is the existing porch.

h) Review Lot Coverage Calculations for accuracy. Zoning is getting different numbers on all that is listed except for the addition and lot coverage percentage.

2. COMMENT: Additional comments may be forthcoming on the next review based on responses to Zoning and other PDSD reviewer comments.

Please contact the zoning reviewer if you have any questions:
