| 04/08/2025 | Site Zoning | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | FROM: PDSD Zoning Review Section PROJECT: TC-RES-1224-07368 1302 N NEMA AV. – R-1 Shade Structure w/Solar (2nd Review) TRANSMITTAL DATE: April 8, 2025 COMMENT: Resubmit revised drawings along with a detailed response letter, which states how all Zoning Review Section comments were addressed. This site is located in the R-1 zone (UDC 4.7.8). A single-family residence is a permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-2) subject to Use Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.5 – 9. 1. Zonings residential plot plan requirements review was done on sheet PV11 only. All required information shall be provide on this sheet. Provide a residential plot plan that meets the requirements found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Building-Safety/Plan-Examples/Plot-Plan-Example, to include but not limited to: a. This comment was not addressed. 3/32” = 1’ is not an engineering scale. The plot plan shall be drawn at an engineering scale, i.e. 1”=10’, 1” = 20’. b. This comment was not addressed correctly. Provide a lot coverage calculation that meets the requirements of UDC Article 6.4.3 and the example shown on the Residential Plot Plan Requirements c. This comment was not fully addressed. Provide the property dimensions on the plot plan. Show the entire parcel on the plot plan along with the property dimensions. d. This comment was not addressed correctly. This plan shows the sidewalks located within the property which is not correct. Contact COT Department of Transportation (DTM) & Mobility Maps and Records and show the correct dimensions. DTM can be reached at 520.791.3154 or https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Transportation-Mobility. Provide a dimension from the centerline of both streets to the face of curb, where pavement meets the concrete curb and from face of curb to the property line. e. This comment was not addressed correctly. Per UDC Article 6.4.5.C.1.a & .b street perimeter yard setbacks are measured to the street property line not to the curb. Also as it appears that there is more than a 2’ overhang from the post supporting the proposed structure show the allowed 2’-0” overhang and provide the setback dimensions from this overhang line. Provide perimeter yard setback dimensions from the proposed shade structure to the west and south property lines. For a carport type structure these setbacks are measured from the posts supporting the structure, UDC Article 6.4.5.B.2 unless the roof overhang is greater that 2’-0”, UDC Article 6.4.5.D.2.a.(2). As it appears that the overhangs are greater than 2’-0”, show the allowed 2’-0” overhang on the plan and provide the applicable perimeter yard setbacks. Once provided additional comments maybe forth coming. 2. Per your response to comments it appears that you are proposing a separate permit for the unpermitted structure. If this is the case the separate permit is a separate submittal and a residential plot plan meeting all the requirements above is required. Based on aerial photos there is what appears to be a porch addition on the southeast corner of the SFR that appears sometime after 2018. Zoning was not able to find approved permit documents for this structure. Either provided stamped approved permit documents for this structure or include it in this permit. Full building plans will be required. 3. This comment was not addressed correctly. Per UDC Article 6.6.4.A Measurement of Building Height is the vertical distance measured from the design grade elevation to the middle (between the eave and ridge ) of the highest gable of a pitched or hipped roof.(See Figure 6.4.4-A, Measurement of Building Height .) Provide a height dimension from the middle point of the roof to design grade. 4. Until the Board of Adjustment is approved Zoning cannot approve this plan. Also, as it appears that the proposed structure will not meet the minimum front street setback, 20’-0” (UDC Article 6.4.5.C.1.a) the reduced setback can be addressed during the variance process but until the comments above are addressed correctly Zoning cannot provide the required comments to submit you variance request. 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, except for shade structures or carports not over 400 square feet in floor area, terraces and steps not over three feet high above the natural grade, paved areas, and fences or walls. The proposed shade structure exceeds the allowed 400 sq. ft. and will require a Board of Adjustment for Variance. A Board of Adjustment for Variance must be submitted and approved. Board of Adjustment application/requirements can be found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Planning-Zoning-Applications/Zoning-Administration. Contact for the Board of Adjustment is Mark Castro at Mark.Castro@tucsonaz.gov.
