FROM: Nathan Herrera
Planner

PROJECT: TC-RES-1123-09542
Address: 2785 N Calle De Romy. Tucson, AZ. 85712
Parcel: 110-07-0480
Zoning: R-2
Existing Use: Single Family Residence
Project Description: Detached Accessory Structure (Garage/Sleeping Quarters)/SFR Addition

TRANSMITTAL DATE: 12/05/2023

This site is located in the R-2 zone (UDC 4.7.9). A single-family residence with an Accessory Dwelling Unit is permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-2) subject to Use Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.5 - .9, and 6.6.3.


1. COMMENT: PER UDC Article 6.4.5.C.1.b, “Where a lot abuts more than one street, the owner chooses which street lot line is the front lot line. From other than the front lot line , the street perimeter yard is ten feet, as measured from the street property line .

Clarify which lot line is the front lot line for setback purposes.

COMMENT: Per UDC Article 6.6.3.C, “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 the front street lot line.”

2. COMMENT: If Calle de Romy is to be used as the front lot line of the property, the required setback is 20 feet as measured from the property line. The proposed setbacks of the addition as shown on the Site Plan are 1 foot, and 8 feet 11 inches. A Design Development Option will need to be applied for and approved to reduce the required setbacks before Zoning can approve of this permit.

3. COMMENT: Per UDC Table 6.3-2.A, the required setback in the R-2 zone is the greater of 6 feet or 2/3 the height of the proposed building wall.

Based on the proposed wall height of the garage of 22 feet, the required perimeter yard setback is 14 feet 7 inches. The proposed setback as shown on the Site Plan is 12 feet 3 inches.
The proposed Garage/Sleeping Quarters encroaches into the required side yard setback.
A neighbor’s setback waiver may be utilized to reduce the required setback. The neighbor waivers shall be signed by the property owners of Pima County Tax Parcels Number 110-07-0490. The signed neighbor waivers shall be directly pasted on the site plan and shall include the following text:
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 a neighbor waiver cannot be obtained, a Design Development Option must be applied for and approved before this permit can be approved by Zoning.
DDO application and requirements can be found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/pdsd/documents/planning-amp-zoning/2019_ddo_for_setback_and_height_udc.pdf
For more information about the DDO process contact Wyatt Berger at wyatt.berger@tucsonaz.gov
4. COMMENT: Both setback reductions can be applied for under the same DDO application.

5. COMMENT: Per UDC Article 6.6.3.D, “Accessory structures, except for accessory dwelling units, shall not exceed 12 feet in height”. The proposed kitchenette on the garage is considered an accessory structure and exceeds the maximum height allowance of 12 feet. A Board of Adjustment Variance process will need to be applied for and approved to allow for the proposed height of the detached accessory structure.
Alternatively, the proposed sleeping quarters/garage can be applied for as a Second Unit for the property. This will require a separate permit, and additional impact fees, but will allow for a maximum height of 25 feet.
For more information on the Variance process reach out to Mark Castro at Mark.Castro@tucsonaz.gov

Additionally, clarify if the north lot line is considered the front street lot line. Per UDC 6.6.3.C, detached accessory buildings are not permitted in the buildable area extending the full width of the lot between the principal building and the front street lot line.
