A single-family residence is permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-2) subject to Use Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.5 - .9 for 1 unit; 4.9.7.B.1 - .9, & .11 for 2 units (min. 10,000 sq ft lot size required). Plan review for the above referenced enclosed patio to add new bedroom and office, added shed, carport & metal fence around carport 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. 1. COMMENT: The site plan provided is incomplete. 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 Specifically: A. Draw, label and dimension everything that exists on the property to a SCALABLE drawing graphic and provide dimensions of any structure as it relates to nearby structures and property lines and provide the heights (measured from above finish grade to top of wall, etc.) of those structures that run parallel-perpendicular to any nearby adjacent property lines. Provide heights at various locations along the fence/wall if applicable. B. Draw, label and dimension all setbacks. Setbacks for side and rear property lines are 6’-0” or 2/3 the height of any structure flanking the south, west and east property lines, whichever is distance is greater. The front yard setback is 20’-0”. C. Refer to Pima County’s website https://gis.pima.gov/maps/detail.cfm?&parcel=136080350 to locate and provide the parcel number, legal description, subdivision name, book and page numbers, township-section and range, sequence number on the plot plan. D. Draw, label and dimension all property lines, (provide accurate property line lengths) to be reflective of information on Pima County’s website. Refer to Pima County’s website https://onbase.pima.gov/publicaccess/DS_NextGen_Single/etc/cq/results.html?cqid=240&OBKey__552_1=21057. The math of the property line lengths will produce the total parcel square footage. E. The lot coverage calculation has not been addressed. Per UDC Article 6.4.3.C.1.a roofed areas, porches, open on at least one side are NOT included in the calculation and per UDC Article 6.4.3.B.3.b Vehicular use areas, measured within the outside edges of any area allocated to vehicle use, whether improved or unimproved are included in the lot coverage. Calculate (measure) square footage of every enclosed (NOT open structures like a porch, ramada, carport) structure on site and all vehicular use area (driveway, parking, turnaround, backup) and input into lot coverage calculation table. A carport would be calculated under vehicular use area. These separate ‘category numbers’ are added together and divided by the total parcel square footage to produce the lot coverage percentage that demonstrates compliance (or not). F. Draw, label and dimension the principal residence graphic to be representative of that via Pima County’s website (property record card) https://www.asr.pima.gov/ParcelData/prc/13608/0350.pdf . Include any/all unpermitted additions, modifications and label. G. Draw and label front curbs and sidewalks along E 29th St per the paving plan on record https://maps-and-records.tucsonaz.gov/construction-plans/details/I-71-037. H. Provide dimension from centerline of E 29th St to curb. I. Provide zoning labels on all four sides of this parcel. including this parcel (All R-1). J.

COMMENT: Per UDC 6.6.3.C. standard, 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 front street lot line, except for shade structures or carports not over 400 square feet in floor area, terraces and steps not over three high above the natural grade, paved areas, and fences or walls. Carport is currently dimensioned as 24’-0” x 20’-0”, totaling 480 square feet. Adjust design to meet standard. 3. COMMENT: Per TABLE 6.4.5.C.1.a., “For single-family and duplex development, the minimum required street perimeter yard is 20’-0” measured from the street property line” Additionally, per 6.4.5.D.3.a. “Shade structures or carports may project up to 10’-0” into required perimeter yards. Such architectural features include, but are not limited to, overhangs, moveable insulating walls and roofs, detached solar collectors, reflectors and piping” As currently shown, the carport is built close to the sidewalk, which, is much further beyond the 10’-0” setback projection allowance mentioned above. Per 6.4.5.C.1.c., for carports and garages in single-family and duplex development, the structural setback may be modified in accordance with Section 3.11.1, Design Development Option as follows: Per 6.4.5.C.1.c.(2)., For carports, if the distance between the back of street curb and the carport is 8’-0” or less, a minimum of 1’-0” must be provided.

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 See below for more information on the DDO process. 4. COMMENT: 3. Per UDC Article 6.6.3.D; Accessory structures, except for accessory dwelling units, shall not exceed 12 feet in height, unless attached to a principal structure. If attached to the principal structure, maximum height permitted shall be the same as for the principal structure. Based on provided information the carport and shed appear to exceed the allowed 12’ height. Provide the height of each structure. If either (or both) structures exceed this standard, a Board of Adjustment for Variance will be required to permit the carport and shed as shown on the plan. An option would be to connect the carport to the existing residence with a 5’ wide roof structure that can support a 20-pound live load. 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. 5.

Depending on the heights and location proximity to the property lines, both sheds may lie within their respective west and east setbacks. Depending on the height and how far each shed sits off the west and east property lines, there are three options: A. 1’-0” or more or 1-0” OR Less (encroaching in setback): (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 ________________________.
