| Residential Zoning * | REVIEW COMPLETED | PDSD TRANSMITTAL FROM: Claire Leighou, Planner PROJECT: TP-PRE-0226-00054 1124 N 3RD AV Middle Housing (1st Review) TRANSMITTAL DATE: 3/23/26 Please resubmit revised drawings with a detailed response letter stating how all Zoning Review Section comments were addressed. This site is located in the NR-1 zone (UDC 4.7.8) and the proposed use is Middle Housing which is a permitted use in this zone ( Table 6.3-2.A) subject to use specific standards 4.9.7.B.4-.6, .8, .9, .11-.14 Comment 1: Duplex is not a permitted use in NR-1; however Middle Housing is permitted. Please re-label every reference of duplex in this application/plan set to Middle Housing project. Comment 2: The site is located in Feldman’s Neighborhood Preservation Zone (NPZ) and per UDC 5.10.3, development visible from the street requires NPZ Design Review. Zoning cannot approve until Special Districts has approved the Design Review. Comment 3: Provide a note stating the required and proposed setbacks per UDC Table 6.3-2.A. The minimum required setback from the property line along 3rd Avenue is 20’ (UDC 6.4.5.C). The rear and side yard minimum setback requirement is 5’ from the property line. Comment 4: Provide a density calculation to demonstrate compliance with the maximum permitted residential density per UDC Table 6.3-2.A. The maximum permitted residential density is 4 units per 6,000 square feet. Comment 5: Please include landscaping details on the next iteration of the site plan. Per Middle Housing Ordinance 12219, section 7.6.10, one canopy tree is required for every 1,000 square feet of gross floor area of the development project. A minimum of fifty percent of the required canopy trees must be located within the front yard setback area. Vegetative groundcover is also required within the front yard setback. The groundcover should be a minimum area of 5 feet times the street frontage distance, minus the curb cut width. The calculation for this area can be found through this equation: 50’ width of the lot, minus curb cut width, times 5. Plants must be low to very low water use with a hardiness rating of 15 degrees Fahrenheit or lower and non-invasive. Options are listed in Section 5-02.5.0 of the Technical Standards Manual. Exceptions to these criteria or plants that are not listed in Section 5-02.5.0 of the Technical Standards Manual, may be approved by the PDSD Landscape Architect. Comment 6: Per the City of Tucson Inclusive Home Design Ordinance (https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/sharedassets/public/v/1/city-services/planning-developmentservices/documents/inclusivehomedesignordinance.pdf), all new dwellings have a requirement to provide an “accessible route from public and common areas, including, but not limited to, a driveway or public street or sidewalk”. Please draw, dimension, and label an accessible route from the driveway (or apron), sidewalk, or street to the existing accessible entrances. Ensure the route meets accessibility standards as articulated in Sections 402-404 of the ADA Accessibility Standards (https://www.access-board.gov/ada/chapter/ch04/). See TSM 7-01.4.3 for specifications, including slope and composition materials. Comment 7: Please include lot coverage calculations on the first page in the next submittal. Lot coverage is the area of an overall project site covered by improvements including any area of a building within the outside edge of the exterior walls at ground level, vehicular use area (improved or unimproved), and storage areas (UDC 6.4.3). The maximum permitted lot coverage is 70%. Comment 8: Per Middle Housing Ordinance 12219, front yards are permitted one driveway no more than 20 feet in width and up to 400 square feet of additional vehicular use area. Four hundred square feet typically accommodates two standard parking spaces. The remaining parking spaces should be placed in the side or rear yard. Comment 9: Include minimum parking space calculations for the site, per UDC Table 7.4.4-1: MINIMUM NUMBER OF MOTOR VEHICLE SPACES REQUIRED. Per UDC 4.9.7.B.12, required parking may be met with on-street parking or waived if the site is within a quarter-mile walking distance of an “All Ages 12and Abilities Bikeway” as defined by the Department of Transportation and Mobility or a public transit route. The Unified Development Code (UDC) can be found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/Departments/Planning-Development-Services/Codes/Zoning-Code If you have any questions about this transmittal, please contact Claire Leighou at claire.leighou@tucsonaz.gov.
