| 12/08/2025 | Residential Zoning | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PDSD TRANSMITTAL FROM: Jeffrey W. Cassidy, Planner Planning & Development Services Department – Current Zoning Review Section PROJECT: TC-RES-1025-05176 –Residential Building – Bedrooms, Bathroom and Laundry 943 E 32ND ST TUCSON, AZ 85713 (R-2 Zoning) Site Plan Review – 2nd Review TRANSMITTAL DATE: December 08, 2025 This site is in the R-2 Residence Zone (UDC 4.7.9). A single-family residence is permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-2) subject to Use Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.6, .9, & .10. 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: The site plan provided is incomplete. a) Provide a site plan that meets the requirements show in the plot plan example at the following link: 1) The front yard setback is 20’-0” and aerial views indicate the existing residence meets this requirement. Adjust graphics and dimension to reflect this. 2) Label everything that exists on the property (walls, fences and provide heights measured from above finish grade at various locations along the fence/wall) if applicable. 3) Update Lot Area to 7,500 square feet (50’ x 150’ = 7,500) 4) Draw and dimension driveway and any other parking spaces or areas serving as a vehicular use area. 5) Provide missing zoning labels on the north and south sides of this parcel including this parcel. 2. COMMENT: After reviewing the property documentation history in PRO, zoning could not verify any permit documentation for the existing storage 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 shed may be included as a part of this permit application or applied for and issued under a different permit. Additionally, depending on the height and/or how close it was located to the property line(s), this structure was potentially located in the east setback. A couple options exist to pursue depending on the height and distance from the property line. Per the aerial view, the shed looks a lot closer shown on the site plan and within the minimum 6’-0” setback distance for a 9’-0” tall shed; Per TABLE 6.3-2.A of the UDC (referenced below), the perimeter yard setback(s) along the north, east, and west property line(s) is 6’ or 2/3 the height of the utility shed, WHICHEVER DISTANCE IS GREATER. Depending on how far the utility shed sits off the west property line, three options exist: a) 1’-0” or more or 1-0” OR Less (encroaching in setback): Secure a neighbor setback waiver (provided below) signed and dated by the property owner(s) to the east: (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 from property line and unable to obtain neighbor waiver: 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. Alert the zoning review you intend to pursue so they can create the sub-record for you ahead of your next submittal Jeffrey.cassidy@tucsonaz.gov 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. Additionally, in the general notes refer to and copy and paste the verbiage from UDC 9.2.3. and 9.2.4.B thru D as this will assist the reviewer in understanding the existing legal non-conforming nature of the existing setbacks you are essentially asking to have re-created. c) Less than 1’-0” from property line and unable to obtain neighbor waiver: 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. COMMENT: Additional comments may be forthcoming on the next review based on responses to Zoning and other the PDSD reviewer comments.
