| 12/02/2025 | Residential Zoning | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | PDSD TRANSMITTAL FROM: Jeffrey W. Cassidy, Planner Planning & Development Services Department – Current Zoning Review Section PROJECT: TC-RES- 1125-05552 – Residential Building –Permitting the enclosing of a single car garage structure into sleeping quarters to resolve CE-VIO0525-02223 3022 E WAVERLY ST TUCSON, AZ 85716 (R-1 Zoning) Site Plan Review – 1st Review TRANSMITTAL DATE: December 02, 2025 This site is in the R-1 Residence Zone (UDC 4.7.8). An accessory dwelling unit as sleeping quarters is a permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-2) subject to Use Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.6, 8, & 9 and 6.6.3. Plan review for the above referenced 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. 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: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Permits/Plan-Examples/Plot-Plan-Example More Specifically: 1) Add ‘easement’ to the 7’-6” dimension 2) Adjust property dimensions to match county plat (60.62’ and 135.2’ respectively). 3) Label the property lines as ‘property lines’ and provide a distinguishing graphic to make that element clear. 4) Draw dimensions from ALL structures on the site (including the wall(s) to nearby property lines (in some cases, like the sleeping quarters, two directions (east and south)). 5) Dimension driveway and any associated vehicular use area(s). 6) Label the height of the sleeping quarters. 7) Draw and label all setbacks. Front yard = 20’-0” (E Waverly St). Street Side Yard = 10’-0” (N Country Club Rd). South and West Property Lines = 6’-0” OR 2/3 the height of the wall of a structure perpendicular/parallel to the adjacent property line (WHICHEVER DISTANCE IS GREATER). 2. COMMENT: Per TABLE 6.3-2.A of the UDC (referenced below), the perimeter yard setback along the south property line is 6’ or 2/3 the height of the sleeping quarters, WHICHEVER DISTANCE IS GREATER and 10’-0” off the right of way for the east right of way. Check MS & R (see comment #4 below) as this setback may change if there are plans to expand E Country Club. Depending on how far the sleeping quarters sit off the south and east property line(s), two options exist depending on the measurements you arrive at: a) 1’-0” or more from 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. b) Less than 1’-0” from property line: A board of adjustment variance will be required to permit the sleeping quarters 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: Zoning has acknowledged this property has a structure on-site with a with ‘contributing status’ with the National Register of Historic Places and advises the owner to contact the State Historic Preservation Office (HPO) to determine if any modification will impact status. Contact https://azstateparks.com/SHPO for more information 4. COMMENT: The existing right of way (ROW) for N Country Club appears to be 58’-0” +/- currently with a recommendation for 76’-0”. Confirm the likelihood of expansion with Benjamin.Elias@tucsonaz.gov (520) 508-4321 with Major Streets & Roads aka MS&R, for potential expansion potentially affecting the sleeping quarters. the If you discover there will be an expansion, graphically communicate future right of way line and label on all site plan sheets. 5.
