09/14/2009 DAVID RIVERA ZONING REVIEW Denied DSD TRANSMITTAL

FROM: David Rivera
Principal Planner

PROJECT: T09CM02041 and T09CM02426
321 N Indian House Road
SFR and Accessory Sleeping Quarters

TRANSMITTAL DATE: September 14, 2009

COMMENTS: Please resubmit revised drawings along with redlines and a response letter, which states how all Zoning Review Section comments regarding the Land Use Code and Development Standards were addressed.

1. No documents of a lot split approval could be found in the records section. It appears that the original parcel has been split twice for a total of three lots without approval through the City of Tucson, Planning Development Services Department. Prior to any approval for the proposed residence and accessory sleeping quarters a letter of determination by the zoning administrator approving the lot split will be required or a letter stating what process is required before PDSD approval of the lot split and eventual building permits for the new building is approved.

2. In a R-1 Zone regardless of the area of town the following development criteria is applicable and must be demonstrated on the plan before approval is granted for the building permits.

A. Residential Use Group, Sec. 6.3.8

1. Family Dwelling "G", subject to: Sec. 3.5.7.1.E, .F, .G, and .H (Ord. No. 8582, §1, 9/25/95; Ord. No. 9443, §1, 11/27/00; Ord. No. 9906, §1, 10/13/03)
3.5.7.1 Family Dwelling

G. For any new single family dwelling in the R-1 zone with five (5) bedrooms, three (3) parking spaces are required. For every bedroom over five (5), one additional space is required for each bedroom.

H. For all single family dwellings in the R-1 zone with five (5) or more bedrooms, and for all lots containing two (2) or more single family dwellings, with the second dwelling having more than one bedroom, all parking and maneuvering must be located on-site, either in a side or rear perimeter yard. The vehicular use area must be improved, which includes surfacing, striping, and provision of barriers, in conformance with Development Standard 3-05.0. Parking spaces may not be located in a vehicular use area in any front street perimeter yard.

(Ord. No. 9443, §2, 11/27/00; Ord. No. 9906, §3, 10/13/03)

In this case the proposed residence is designed with a total of five (5) bedrooms (bedrooms as defined by the Land Use Code). The accessory sleeping quarters is designed with two bedrooms again as defined by the LUC. This project is subject to compliance with LUC section 3.5.7.1. .G and .H. Demonstrate on the plan how the requirements for the parking spaces location and number of parking spaces have been met. (An interpretation has been made with regards to the use of proposed garages, consult with the Zoning administrator for more info on this interpretation.) Per the LUC the parking must be in the rear or the sides of the property must comply with the requirements for a parking as defined in Development Standards 3-05. It may be worth the effort to have the Zoning Administrator review the proposed garage location and offer an interpretation on this design proposal before re-designing the site plan and or building plans. If variances are required the site and building plans cannot be approved until the variance process is completed.

3. Revise the following on all sheets:

Replace all the text related to guest house with the words "Accessory Sleeping Quarters".

Ensure that the proper information for the sleeping quarters is listed on the plan, such as single Bar Sink, only under the counter refrigerator allowed, and no stove or oven. A micro wave is allowed.
