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: Resubmit the entire set, addressing comments noted below, along with a DETAILED RESPONSE LETTER indicating responses to the review comments. PLANS: 1. COMMENT: Zoning acknowledges receipt of a development package submittal, TD-DEV-0624-00181. Until this submittal has been reviewed and approved, TC-RES-0825-04071 cannot be approved.

COMMENT: Under Project Data on the A1.1 Sheet, there is a note regarding the setback requirements ‘per plat requirements’.
