FROM: PDSD Zoning Review

PROJECT: T21CM05973
9332 E Palm Tree Dr – R-1
Detached Carports (1st Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: August 9, 2021

This site is located in the R-1 zone (UDC 4.7.8). Office use is not an allowed use in the R-1 Zone and this site is considered a non-conforming use in the R-1 Zone.

1. Provide a residential plot plan that meets the requirements found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/pdsd/forms/Residential_Plot_Plan_Requirements.pdf. This plot plan shall show the entire site and show all structures, sheds, awnings etc. on site.

2. Per Unified Development Code (UDC) Article 6.6.3.B Detached accessory buildings are not permitted in the buildable area extending the full width of the lot between the principal building and the front street lot line. The proposed detached awnings shown in the front yard will require a Board of Adjustment for Variance is they are to remain as shown on the plan. Board of Adjustment application can be found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/pdsd/codes/Zoning_Administration_Application_BA_fillable.pdf. Contact Mark Castro at Mark.Castro@tucsonaz.gov if you have any questions about the Board of Adjustment. Another option for the carports to remain in the front yard is to attach them to the main dwelling. This attachment needs to be a minimum 5’-0” side and support a 20 lb live load, basically built so that a fireperson could walk across the attachment. As perimeter yard setbacks and wall heights were not provided on the plan street perimeter yard setback requirements for the awning shown in the front yard cannot be verified. Per UDC Article 6.4.5.C.1.a the minimum street perimeter yard setback is 20’-0” It appears that if the awnings are attached to the main dwelling at a minimum a Design Development Option (DDO) will need to be processed to reduce the street perimeter yard setbacks. DDO application and requirements can be found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/pdsd/forms/DDO_for_Setback_and_Height_UDC_8.11.20.pdf. A DDO is a separate submittal from the building plan and shall be submitted at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/pdsd-filedrop, using the Submission Type “Zoning Administration”. If you have questions about the DDO application or process please contact Mark Castro at Mark.Castro@tucsonaz.gov.

3. As perimeter yard setbacks and wall heights were not provided on the plan setback requirements for the awning shown behind the gate cannot be verified. Per UDC ABLE 6.3-2.A: DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS FOR THE R-1, R-2, R-3, MH-1, & MH-2 ZONES, R-1 Zone the required perimeter yard setback to the east property line is 6’ -0” or 2/3 the height of the exterior wall, greater of the two. At a minimum a neighbors setback waive is required. To obtain a neighbors setback waive provide the following statement on the plot plan and have the property owner sign and date:
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: _________________________________
If you are unable to obtain the neighbor waiver you can process the reduced setbacks through the Board of Adjustment along with the request to allow a detached structure in the front yard.

4. The drawings shall be submitted as a single multipage PDF file.
