| 08/04/2021 | NMARTEL1 | ZONING | REVIEW | Reqs Change | PDSD TRANSMITTAL Nicholas Martell, Planner T21CM05904 Garage Addition August 04, 2021 The residential plans have been reviewed by the Zoning Review Section but cannot be approved until all zoning comments or concerns have been addressed. 1. The total gross floor area (gfa) of all accessory structures shall not exceed 50% of the gfa of the principal structure. Between the proposed garage and the existing detached building, the gross floor area exceeds the size of the primary residence. a. The applicant may choose to attach one of the structures to the main residence, thus increasing the square footage of the primary structure to satisfy the 50% requirement. The attachment does not need to be enclosed; a 5' wide roof attachment that can support a 20 pound live load is acceptable. b. If the applicant does not wish to attach one of the accessory structures to the primary structure, a variance can be applied for. For more information about the variance process, please refer to the following: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/pdsd/codes/Zoning_Administration_Application_BA_fillable.pdf The applicant will not be able to apply for the variance until the rest of the comments are addressed. 2. Please show all setback measurements for the proposed garage. Zoning is unable to determine the proposed setbacks to the North property line. It does appear that the garage is not meeting the northern setback. A Design Development Option may be required to reduce the setback. That can be found here: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/pdsd/forms/DDO_for_Setback_and_Height_UDC_8.11.20.pdf 3. A third option is to attach the existing detached building to the primary structure. That increases the square footage of the primary structure, and allows the applicant to seek a neighbor waiver for the apparent setback issue to the north property line. The language for the setback waiver is as follows, and must be printed to the site plan: “My Name is __________________ and I am the owner of the property located at ________________________. I have reviewed the site plan and I have no objection to structure being located or constructed ______ feet from the property line as depicted on the site plan. Signature: _____________________________ Date: _________________________________” 4. Please reach out to discuss the options for the property, as there are several variables that can be discussed.
