Site Zoning * REVIEW COMPLETED CDRC TRANSMITTAL

TO:
Planning & Development Services Department

FROM: Fernando L. García
PDSD Zoning Review Section

PROJECT:
1439 E Hedrick Dr, Tucson, AZ 85719
Parcel(s): 113-07-1620
Zoning: R-2
Pre-Submittal Conference (1st Review)
TP-PRE-0925-00174


TRANSMITTAL DATE: September 17, 2025

1. The proposed development must comply with the City of Tucson Unified Development Code (UDC) Administrative Manual Chapter 2-06 – Development Package. Building permits can be submitted and reviewed concurrently with the development package but the building plans cannot be approved until the development package is approved and the building plans are reviewed for consistency.

2. This site is zoned R-2. Single-family attached or detached, and multifamily residential developments utilizing the FLD provisions of the UDC are permitted in the R-2 zone.

3. The project proposes to utilize the Flexible Lot Development standards as articulated in UDC 8.7.3 under the “Maximum Density Option” indicated in 8.7.3.b. under the option for “Additional Functional Open Space”.

4. Per UDC Table 8.7.3-1, the dimensional standards for an FLD development utilizing the “Maximum Density Option” (Development Alternative B) are:

a. Site coverage maximum: 75%
b. Allowable density maximum: 22.00 dwelling units per acre
c. Building height maximum: 25’

5. Site coverage calculations per UDC Section 6.4.3. were not provided on the site map and cannot be verified.

6. Based upon a lot size of 38,186 sf, using the “Maximum Density Option” on an R-2 lot allows up to 19 dwelling units.

7. The site plan indicates that drainage basins will be used as part of the required “Functional Open Space” area. If so, per UDC 8.7.3.F.1.e, these basins must incorporate Multiple-Use Concepts and Aesthetic Design Guidelines described in Chapter IV of the Stormwater Detention/Retention Manual.

8. The required minimum building setbacks to the east property are 6’ or 2/3 the height of the adjacent building wall, whichever is greater. Provided setbacks along the eastern property line appear to be less than the required 2/3. Provide measurements for wall heights measured from design grade for both the 13’ and 22’ foot wall portions, as well as separate setback measurements for both.

Along the westside, the provided setback of 8.8’ appears to be less than that required for a wall height of 14’ 3” for the one-bedroom units.

A Design Development Option (DDO) will be required to modify any required setback distances. Apply for a DDO by submitting a Zoning Modifications subrecord within the Development Package permit for this project. Reach out to Georgia Pennington for more information about the DDO, including application and process, at georgia.pennington@tucsonaz.gov.

9. This proposal would not require an architectural variation plan.

10. Along the east and westside property lines, where this parcel abuts existing single-family homes (1433 W Hedrick and 1501 W Hedrick), privacy mitigation, as indicated in UDC 8.7.3.M.2.b through a Privacy Mitigation Plan, is required. Balconies, windows (except for clerestory and translucent windows), or any other feature on an upper floor that overlook the rear and side yards of an residence are prohibited.

11. The comments provided are preliminary and are not to be assumed as a complete review of the proposal. During the Development Package/Tentative Plat review process, the Site Zoning Review Section will conduct a full review to assure compliance with applicable UDC development criteria and technical standards.

12. If you have any questions, please contact me at fernando.garcia2@tucsonaz.gov.
TW New Area Development * REVIEW COMPLETED TP-PRE-0925-00174 (1439 E HEDRICK DR TUCSON, AZ 85719)
Multi-Family FLD Site Plan.
Based on the information provided, Tucson Water has no objections to, or comments on, the proposed development.
Potentially serving this newly formed parcel is a 6in CA (cement asbestos) potable water main A zone, located on the south of the lot, ROW of E Hedrick Dr.
There is an existing 5/8" water meter currently in place this will not be sufficient for the 18units proposed. Due to the project size (multi units), this meter must be upgraded to a larger size.
The proposed project will incur costs including, but not limited to, "new meter installation", "new service line connection", and "pavement replacement"
If any new domestic water, irrigation water, or fire water services are needed to serve this proposed development, please contact Tucson Water’s New Services Section by calling 520-791-5164 or by sending an email to TW_Common@tucsonaz.gov.

The above comments are based on the limited preliminary information provided by the applicant and should not be construed as a complete review of the proposal. Any questions, comments or concerns about these comments may be directed to:
