Plan review for the above referenced single-family residence 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. PLANS AND ELEVATIONS OR DRAWING SET: 1. COMMENT: No site plan was provided. a) Provide a site plan that meets the requirements show in the plot plan example at the following link: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/permits/residential-permits/residential_plot_plan_requirements_dtm-comments.pdf More Specifically: 1) Draw, label, provide heights and dimension every structure on-site (permitted and unpermitted*) to a scalable drawing graphic. Additionally, provide dimensions of any structure as it relates to nearby structures and property lines. *Depending on what this structure is and its size, this may or may not be added to this permit. Email zoning reviewer (below) for clarification prior to submitting for subsequent submittal. Mimic all the graphic and content information on this site (plot) plan. All structures permitted and unpermitted must be depicted, to scale, dimensioned, providing heights and dimensions to property lines. Setbacks for side and rear property lines are 6’ or 2/3 the height of any structure flanking an adjacent property, whichever is greater. Front yard is 20’-0”. Draw and label all setbacks. If a structure is in an existing setback and unpermitted, depending on the size and height, it may be able to get included on this permit. Be sure to include vehicular use areas (driveway, parking spots), sidewalks and even ‘open’ structures like porches, carports. Label everything that exists on the property (walls, fences and provide heights). For lot information you can find that on the county website in a couple location below.

COMMENT: *After reviewing the property documentation history in PRO, zoning could not verify any permit documentation for the existing utility shed to the southeast of the rear yard or the wall surrounding the property. Confirm the shed is an accessory structure and is not uninhabitable. Draw, label and indicate the heights of the wall from above finish grade along various points along the wall on the site plan. 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 may or may not 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 Per TABLE 6.3-2.A of the UDC (referenced below), the perimeter yard setback(s) along the west and south property line(s) are 6’ or 2/3 the height of the utility shed, WHICHEVER IS GREATER. Depending on how far the utility shed sits off each property line, three options exist: a) 1’-0” or more (but still encroaching in setback) or Less than 1’-0”: Secure a neighbor setback waiver (provided below) signed and dated by the property owner(s) to the west and south (across the street / alley): (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: 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. 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. 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”: Should you be unsuccessful in your attempt to retrieve the neighbor waiver, a board of adjustment variance will be required to permit the utility shed 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. 3.
