| 04/16/2026 | Residential Zoning | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PDSD TRANSMITTAL FROM: Jeffrey W. Cassidy, Planner Planning & Development Services Department – Current Zoning Review Section PROJECT: TC-RES-0925-04305 – Residential Building – Convert Garage into a Sleeping Quarters 2726 E LA CIENEGA DR TUCSON, AZ 85716 (R-1 Zoning) Site Plan Review – 3rd Review TRANSMITTAL DATE: April 16, 2026 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). The City's Unified Development Code (UDC) (Section 1.4.1.C) establishes that before the City issues any approvals or permits; we must confirm that a site complies with UDC standards. Therefore, as part of permit reviews, we review a site's permit history and compare it to aerial photography to confirm that unpermitted work has not occurred. In many cases, this does mean that a homeowner must apply for permits for unpermitted work before we can approve any new work on that site. Plan review for the above referenced garage conversion into sleeping quarters 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. Regarding the previous zoning reviewer comments on February 4, 2026 (Review #2) 1. COMMENT: Comment #2 was partially addressed: “The footprint of the existing house on the site plan does not match aerial imagery or previously approved plans.” Per county records https://www.asr.pima.gov/ParcelData/prc/11204/1120.pdf versus the floor plan recently provided, there appears to be a discrepancy between the two whether it be from things not being built per approved plans and/or unpermitted additions/subtractions. Update accordingly and/or describe why this discrepancy exists in the comment response letter. 2. COMMENT: Comment #4 was partially addressed: “The minimum side setbacks indicated on the plans are incorrect. The side street setback is 10’ per UDC section 6.4.5.C.1.b. The interior setbacks are 5’, per the newly adopted Ordinance 12219, Middle Housing code amendment.” This comment was not fully addressed. Update the street side yard setback to 10’-0” (east or north as this is the homeowner’s choice) and the south setback to 5’-0”. 3. COMMENT: Per the La Madera Addition Plat, draw, label and dimension 4. COMMENT: The site plan provided is incomplete. Provide a site plan that meets the requirements show in the plot plan example at the following link: Specifically: A. Draw, label and dimension everything that exists on the property to a scalable drawing graphic (examples include the principal residence, porches, breezeways, sidewalks, driveways, parking spots, walls, fences, ramada, shed, carport, shade sail, cistern, pool, guest house, sleeping quarters, accessory dwelling unit) and provide dimensions of any structure as it relates to nearby structures and property lines and provide the heights (measured from above finish grade to top of wall, etc.) of those structures that run parallel-perpendicular to any nearby adjacent property lines. Provide heights at various locations along the fence/wall if applicable. Draw, label and dimension the unpermitted shed along the east property line and the shade sail along the south edge of the principal residence, both installed around 2024. B. Draw, label and dimension all property lines, (provide property line lengths) and the 5’-0” utility easement along the south property line to be reflective in the property title report.
