PROJECT: TC-RES-0825-04085 – Residential Building – Shed
5935 E Hawthorne St, Tucson AZ 85711 (R-1 Zoning)
Site Plan Review – 1st Review

TRANSMITTAL DATE: September 18, 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 shed 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 sheet and provide an elevation sheet, 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.

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

Per the plot plan example:


1) Provide missing information on the plot plan example, refer to Pima County’s website https://gis.pima.gov/maps/detail.cfm?&parcel=127111450

2) Update site plan to be reflective of information on Pima County’s website. https://onbase.pima.gov/publicaccess/DS_NextGen_Single/etc/cq/results.html?cqid=240&OBKey__552_1=12018

3) Update the principal residence graphic to be representative of reality via Pima County’s website https://www.asr.pima.gov/ParcelData/prc/12711/1450.pdf .

2. COMMENT: 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 shed (currently labeled as 8’-0” high walls), WHICHEVER IS GREATER. As currently shown (2.3’ off the east property line), the shed will need to meet the 6’’-0” setback distance requirement from the east property line. There appears to be plenty of distance (+/- 28’-0”) to not only accommodate the 6’-0” setback but a 14’-0” wide shed in between the residence and the property line.

3. COMMENT: Provide an elevation drawing to communicate the height of the shed of the side of the shed running parallel to east property line.

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