Detached Carport (3rd Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: 10/09/2025

This site is located within the R-2 Zone (UDC 4.7.9). A single-family residence is a permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-2) subject to Use Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.6, .9, & .10.

RESUBMITTAL OF THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED: Please correct plans, as noted in the comments below, along with a response letter indicating how all Site Zoning comments were addressed.

1. Aerial site plans are not favorable when used to determine accurate measurements-the property lines shown on these images are subject to shifting depending on which year the images are taken. Please revise the site plan to include an accurate drawing of where each structure is located and their respective setbacks from each property line.

2. To determine the side setback (see Comment 1), add the elevations for the south, west and east sides of the carport structure (8’10” each). Then, multiply 8.10 by 0.666 (which is the same as 2/3 of the height of the wall). This totals 5.39 inches. The required side setback would then be 6’ in this instance because 6’ is greater than the 2/3 (5.39 inches) of the wall height.

3. Review staff have determined the proposed canopy is attached to the principal residence, which means it cannot encroach into the front and side perimeter setbacks without variance approval. Per the UDC, the required perimeter setback in Table 6.3-2A is 6’, or 2/3 of the height of the exterior wall, whichever dimension is greater. As shown on the site plan, the distance between the carport and the west side property line is 4’. The front setback per zoning is 20’. The length of the carport is 24’, which means it is highly possible it encroaches into the front setback, yet staff are unable to determine the distance the carport is in relation to the front property line. Please revise the site plan to pinpoint the location from the carport to the front and west property lines. This will be necessary information for the variance application.

4. The Lot Coverage Calculations listed on the site plan are incomplete. Based on the Pima County Assessor’s data, the house measures approx. 1,108 sq. ft. The proposed 24’ x 21’ total 504 sq. ft. The front and back porch are not enclosed and do not need to be completed because they are not considered accessory structures. The lot size is the length multiplied by the width and this totals 6,636 sq. ft. according to the Pima County Parcel information accessed on Map Tucson: http://gis.pima.gov/maps/detail.cfm?&parcel=124121100 . The driveway/vehicular use area is calculated based on vehicular use areas, measured within the outside edges of any allocated to vehicle use, whether improved or unimproved, to provide the overall lot coverage per UDC 6.4.3. Please make sure not to include the carport because this will be calculated within the total lot coverage – no need to count the same area twice. Add the residence, carport and vehicular use area together to get the lot coverage. Divide the total lot coverage by the lot area (6,636 sq. ft).

5. To apply for the side and front yard perimeter Board of Adjustment variances, please visit www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Planning-Zoning-Applications/Zoning-Administration#section-2 and contact Mark Castro at mark.castro@tucsonaz.gov for more information.
