PROJECT: TC-RES-0825-03938 – Residential Building – Enclose existing porch with additional 4 x 16 area, put 4ft parapet or barrier wall around the roof
7225 E 28TH ST TUCSON, AZ 85710 (R-1 Zoning)
Site Plan Review – 2nd Review

TRANSMITTAL DATE: December 17, 2025

This site is in the R-1 Residence 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 for 1 unit; 4.9.7.B.1 - .9, & .11 for 2 units (min. 10,000 sq ft lot size required).

Plan review for the above referenced single-family residence porch enclosure 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.

1. COMMENT: Per the previous zoning review comment #7: “The accessory canopy cover on the east side of the property is not permitted. This needs to be addressed especially as it appears to be located within the side setback in which case it may require further zoning approval. Without a fully dimensioned site plan, staff are unable to determine compliance with setback requirements”.

This comment was not addressed.
Provide dimensions (length x width x height) of this canopy as well as the dimensions from the other edge to adjacent east property line.
See comment #3 below.

2. COMMENT: The site plan provided is incomplete.

a) 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

More Specifically:

1) Draw, label, provide heights and dimension every existing and proposed structure on-site to a scalable drawing graphic. Additionally, provide dimensions of any structure as it relates to nearby structures and property lines.

Draw, label and dimension all setbacks. Setbacks for side and rear property lines are 6’ or 2/3 the height of any structure flanking the east, west and north property lines, whichever is distance is greater. The front yard setback (south) is 20’-0”.

2) Provide missing dimension from centerline of E 28th St to curb (per provided plot plan sample).

3) Provide missing dimension from curb to property line (per provided plot plan sample).

4) Provide missing zoning labels on north and south sides of this parcel including this parcel.

5) Provide missing south property line length (84.12’).

3. COMMENT: After reviewing the property documentation history in PRO, zoning could not verify any permit documentation for the two existing sheds or RV canopy cover.

Zoning will not be able to approve the permit application until the permit information is provided. If permit documentation cannot be provided and depending on its size, the utility shed and canopy cover may be included as a part of this permit application or applied for and issued under a different permit. Coordinate with Zoning reviewer prior to the next submittal to determine if this can be included or will require an additional permit at Jeffrey.cassidy@tucsonaz.gov

Additionally, depending on the height and/or how close both sheds and canopy cover were located to the east property line, both sheds and canopy cover were, potentially located in the east setback. A neighbor sign off would be required at a minimum.

Per TABLE 6.3-2.A of the UDC (referenced below), the perimeter yard setback(s) along the north, east and west property line(s) are 6’ or 2/3 the height of the utility sheds, WHICHEVER DISTANCE IS GREATER. Depending on how far each utility shed sits off the west property line, three options exist:

a) 1’-0” or more or 1-0” OR Less (encroaching in setback):
Secure a neighbor setback waiver (provided below) signed and dated by the property owner(s) to the east:

(Neighbor Waiver Sample – Copy and Paste, exactly as shown, onto Site Plan):

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: ________________________________

b) 1’-0” or more from property line and unable to obtain neighbor waiver:
Should you be unsuccessful in your attempt to retrieve the neighbor waiver there is a Design Development Option (or DDO) which affords an attempt to seek relief from the setback requirements. Know this is an extra 6-week review and the neighbors within 100’-0” are made aware of this attempt to seek relief from being in the setback. Zoning will not be able to approve the permit application until the DDO is approved. This information is linked here:

https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Planning-Zoning-Applications/Zoning-Administration#section-3

To submit a DDO application, apply for a new sub-record under this permit at TDC Online. Alert the zoning review you intend to pursue so they can create the sub-record for you ahead of your next submittal Jeffrey.cassidy@tucsonaz.gov

https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/2/pdsd/documents/tdc-faq/new-pdfs/sub-records.pdf

See below for more information on the DDO process.

c) Less than 1’-0” from property line and unable to obtain neighbor waiver:
Should you be unsuccessful in your attempt to retrieve the neighbor waiver, a board of adjustment variance will be required to permit the utility sheds and canopy cover as shown on the site. See variance requirements below. Zoning cannot approve this permit until the Board of Adjustment (B/A) Variance Process is completed and approved.

See below for more information on the B/A Variance process.

4. COMMENT: 3. Per UDC Article 6.6.3.D Accessory structures, except for accessory dwelling units, shall not exceed 12 feet in height, unless attached to a principal structure. If attached to the principal structure, maximum height permitted shall be the same as for the principal structure. Based on provided information, zoning was unable to determine the heights of the two utility sheds and canopy cover. Provide the heights of the aforementioned unpermitted structures.

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