| 11/07/2024 | Site Zoning | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PDSD TRANSMITTAL FROM: Fernando Garcia Planning & Development Services Department – Zoning Review Section PROJECT: TC-RES-1024-05691 – Residential Building 4340 N Mainard Dr, Tucson, AZ 85719 Plan Review (1st Review) TRANSMITTAL DATE: November 7, 2024 This site is zoned MH-1 (UDC Section 4.7.10). A detached single-family dwelling is a permitted use in the MH-1 zone. Solar energy collectors are permitted as an accessory use. 1. (Comment) Provide setback distances for the new canopy on the site plan. Setback should be measured from the outside face of the canopy post to the nearest property lines. Per the site plan, the canopy appears to be detached. It also appears to be within the required 6’ or 2/3 of wall height (whichever is greater) setback distance. Per UDC Section 6.6.2., “An accessory structure , except for an accessory dwelling unit , that exceeds the allowable height of a wall within a perimeter yard and is detached from a principal structure shall comply with the perimeter yard width standards of the principal structure , except that the accessory structure may be built to a parcel line with the consent of the adjoining or, when separated by an alley, adjacent property owner(s)” On resubmittal, provide a copy of the signed neighbor waiver language on the site plan. The waiver language follows: “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 the structure being located or construct __ feet from the property line as depicted on the site plan. Signature: ________ Date: _________” If the neighbor refuses to sign, then a Design Development Option (DDO) would be required to be approved to allow the reduced setback for the canopy. For more information about the DDO process, including application, reach out to Mark Castro at mark.castro@tucsonaz.gov or 520-837-4979 for more information. 2. (Comment) Per UDC 6.6.3.D, a detached accessory structure – such as this canopy – is only permitted to be a height of 12’ as measured from design grade. The site plan shows 12’ 11” ½. A variance granted by the Board of Adjustment would be required for a height above 12’. You can also reach out to Mark Castro at the contact information provided in comment 1 above about the Board of Adjustment process and requirements. RESUBMITTAL OF THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED: Resubmittal of revised plans and comment response letter indicating how comments were addressed. If you have any questions about this transmittal, please contact Fernando L. Garcia at fernando.garcia2@tucsonaz.gov. For faster review, provide notice to this reviewer by email on resubmittal. |
