SCOPE OF REVIEW:

The scope of this plan review covers architectural, plumbing, mechanical, energy conservation and electrical. All code references are to the 2018 International Residential Code and 2018 International Energy Conservation 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.

PROVIDE A COMPLETE PLAN SET showing all proposed alterations to the building with 2018 IRC code compliance. The plans require sufficient detail for demonstrating minimum building code compliance for passing all progress inspections.

Provide a response letter addressing each comment with location of change on the plans. Submit separate letter and plan set files.

SITE PLAN:

1. Show the distance of the proposed structure from the side property line, R106.1.1.
2. All portions of the structure are required to be on the property with water runoff control.

PLANS:

1. The structure may not extend to a point closer than 3 feet from the neighboring property line without fire rated protection for fire spread. Provide compliance with R302.1 (City of Tucson Amended) by protecting the structure placed within 3 feet of the property line in compliance with IBC Table 721.1(2). Include a one hour rated wall below the roof edge with foundation along the full length of structure near the property line or relocate the structure out of the fire separation distance. The roof may not extend beyond the fire spread barrier.

08/28/2025 Site Zoning - Standard REQUIRES RESUBMIT PDSD TRANSMITTAL

FROM: Erick Bieber
Planning & Development Services Department – Zoning Review Section

PROJECT: TC-RES-0825-03946
210 E Elm St, Tucson, AZ 85705
Residential Addition/Alteration (1st Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: August 28th, 2025

This site is located in the R-2 zone (UDC 4.7.9). A single-family residence is a permitted use in this zone subject to use-specific standards 4.9.7.B.6, .9 and .10.

RESUBMITTAL OF THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED: Correct plans, as noted in the comments below, along with a response letter indicating how all Site Zoning comments were addressed.

1. (Comment) Clearly indicate the setback dimension of the proposed carport from the west property line.

2. (Comment) Per UDC Table 6.3-2.A, the minimum side and rear yard setbacks are 6’-0” or 2/3 the height of the exterior wall, whichever is greater. Based on the proposed carport with an approximate exterior column height of 7’8’, the required setback would be 6’-0”. The indicated setback for the proposed carport appears to be within the minimum setback of the west property line.

If the proposed carport is 1 foot or more away from the property line, a Design Development Option (DDO) will be required. Please submit a DDO application under the Zoning Modification sub-record that has been created. For instructions on how to apply for a sub-record, visit the following link: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/tdc-faq/new-pdfs/sub-records_071425.pdf
For additional questions regarding DDOs, contact Mark Castro at Mark.Castro@tucsonaz.gov.

If the proposed carport is less than one foot from the property line, a Board of Adjustment Variance would be necessary. More information about the B/A can be found at https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Public-Meetings-Boards-Committees-Commissions/Board-of-Adjustment. If you are interested in exploring this option, please contact Mark Castro at mark.castro@tucsonaz.gov for more information.

3. (Comment) Clarify the height of the exterior column. Provide height measurements from design grade to where the beam meets the roof in accordance with UDC Section 6.4.5.B.

4. (Comment) Lot dimensions indicate the lot area is 7500sqft. Correct lot area figure under area calculations.

5. (Comment) The lot coverage calculation is not correct. Per UDC Article 6.4.3.C.1.a, roofed areas and porches that are open on at least one side are not included in the calculation. Remove porch square footage from lot coverage calculation.

6. (Comment) Provide setback dimensions of all existing structures, including covered porches, to all applicable property lines.

7. (Comment) Provide a dimension from the centerline of Elm St to the face of the curb, where asphalt meets the concrete curb (which is 17’ per paving plan) and from the face of the curb to the front street property line (which is 8’ per paving plan). The paving plan can be found at the following link: https://maps-and-records.tucsonaz.gov/construction-plans/details/I-468

8. (Comment) Clarify intended directions of elevation plans. Both elevation plans indicate they are looking east.

9. (Comment) Correct the scale provided for the site plan. The measurements provided do not match the 1”=20’-0’ scale.

10. (Comment) Correct the parcel number under legal description.
