PROJECT: TC-RES-0826-04826
765 W Calle Margarita, Tucson AZ 85706
Additions (1st Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: 09/03/2026

This site is located within the R-1 zone (UDC 4.7.8). A single-family residence is a permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-2) subject to Use Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.5 - .9.

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. Provide a legible site plan – some information did not copy clearly. For example, the distance between the proposed carport and the property line is not legible. Additionally, the site plan is missing information. Please visit the following link to the Full site plan requirements (example included on page 3): https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Permits/Plan-Examples/Site-Plan-Examples

2. Both proposed additions appear to encroach into the required setbacks. Per Unified Development Code (UDC) Table 6.3-2.A., the east side (interior) setback is 5’ and per UDC 6.4.5.C.1.b., the side street setback along S. Santa Clara Av is 10’. The following is required prior to approval:

a. Attached Carport: If the nearest proposed support beam to the east property line is more than 1’ from the east property line but still within the required 5’ setback,; a Design Development Option DDO approval is necessary. If the proposed attached carport is less than 1’ from the east side property line, a Board of Adjustment variance is required.

b. Proposed Bedroom Addition: The site plan shows a 4’ distance from the addition to the west property line. This will require a DDO.

Here is a link to the DDO application: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/planning-amp-zoning/ddo-for-setback-and-height.pdf Submit the DDO application packet by first navigating to TC-RES-0826-04826and then by entering the DDO application packet under the Zoning Modification sub-record that you will create . 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 questions regarding the DDO process, please contact Georgia Pennington at georgia.pennington@tucsonaz.gov
Please note that if a Board of Adjustment variance is not required, meaning that the proposed attached carport will lie 1’ or more from the east property line, the same DDO application may be used for both reduced setback requests.

If the attached carport is proposed to lie less than 1’ from the east side property line, apply for a Board of Adjustment variance. The Board of Adjustment application/requirements can be found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Planning-Zoning-Applications/Zoning-Administration . The staff contact for the Board of Adjustment is Mark Castro at Mark.Castro@tucsonaz.gov

1. Once the DDO is approved, and/or the Board of Adjustment variance is approved, supply the following:
a. Letters of approval for the DDO and/or Board of Adjustment variance, if applicable;
b. Revised site plan containg all information shown in the link provided in Comment 1, above; and
c. Comment Response Letter addressing all staff comments.

2. Additional comments may be forthcoming depending on responses to zoning review comments and plans submitted for the next review.

If you have any questions about this transmittal, please contact Roxanne Johnston at roxanne.johnston@tucsonaz.gov
