| 11/18/2025 | Residential Zoning | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PDSD TRANSMITTAL FROM: Jeffrey W. Cassidy, Planner Planning & Development Services Department – Current Zoning Review Section PROJECT: TC-RES-0925-04546 – Residential Building – Site Wall Repair 404 N AVENIDA CARINA TUCSON, AZ 85745 (R-1 Zoning) Site Plan Review – 2nd Review TRANSMITTAL DATE: November 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 wall 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: Per previous reviewers’ comments, draw and label all the setbacks. Front Yard setback is 20-0” and the side and rear yard setbacks are 6’-0” or 2/3 height of any structures wall that is perpendicular to the nearest property line, WHICHEVER DISTANCE IS GREATER. 2. COMMENT: After reviewing the property documentation history in PRO, zoning could not verify any permit documentation for the existing 10’ x 12’ shed. 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 can be included as a part of this permit application or applied for and issued under a different permit. Additionally, depending on the height of this shed and/or how close it was located to the property line(s), this structure is potentially located in not only the north setback, but within the west (front yard) setback as it is currently labeled. A neighbor waiver (see example below) could be pursued for the north setback. The adjacent owner’s waiver statement must be added to the site plan. Provide (label on site plan) the height of existing shed along the side that runs parallel to the north property line. 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. Know this is an extra 6-week review and the neighbors within 100’-0” are made aware of this attempt to seek relief from being in the setback. 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. 3. COMMENT: Per UDC 6.6.3.C. standard, Detached accessory buildings, including accessory dwelling units, are not permitted in the buildable area extending the full width of the lot between the principal building and front street lot line, except for shade structures or carports not over 400 square feet in floor area, terraces and steps not over three high above the natural grade, paved areas, and fences or walls. The existing shed is currently dimensioned as 10’-0” x 12’-0”, totaling 120 square feet and is clearly located within the 20’-0” front yard setback. Three options exist: 1) Remove shed. 2) Relocate shed outside of setback. 3) Submit for a Board of Adjustment Variance. See below for more information on the B/A Variance process. 4. COMMENT: Additional comments may be forthcoming on the next review based on responses to Zoning and other the PDSD reviewer comments.
