Provide notation for compliance with R302.1 (City of Tucson Amended) for the Garage roof overhang extending into the 6' separation distance to the existing residence. The same applies to the existing residence if it has a roof overhang extending into the 6' separation distance to the proposed Garage. These overhangs may not extend more than 1 foot.
2. Show the location of a minimum 22" x 30" attic access. Attic access is required for areas exceeding 30 SQ FT with a minimum of 30" of headroom and located in a hallway or readily accessible space, R807.1. This applies to the Garage with ceiling.
