This site is located in the SR zone (UDC 4.7.4). A 2nd dwelling unit is not a permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-1). 1. Per UDC TABLE 6.3-1.A: DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS FOR THE RH, SR, SH, RX-1, & RX-2 ZONES, SR Zone only one (1) dwelling unit is allowed on a SR zoned property. At a minimum a Board of Adjustment for Variance will be required, possibly a rezoning. Board of Adjustment application and requirements can be found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/pdsd/codes/Zoning_Administration_Application_BA_fillable.pdf, and is a separate submittal from the building permit and shall be submitted at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/pdsd-filedrop, using the submission type “Zoning Administration”. The Board of Adjustment must be submitted and approved prior to approval of this building plan. 2. Per UDC TABLE 6.3-1.A: DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS FOR THE RH, SR, SH, RX-1, & RX-2 ZONES, SR Zone the required perimeter yard setback from the proposed 2nd dwelling unit is 25’-0”, proposed setback is 14’-0”. The reduced perimeter yard setback can be processed through the above Board of Adjustment as on process. 3. All building setbacks shown on the plan are incorrect and should be listed as 25’-0”. 4. As this site is within the Hillside Development Zone (HPZ) and the Environmental Resource Zone (ERZ) a grading plan meeting the requirements of Administrative Manual 2-06 and Technical Standards Manual Section 2 will need to be submitted and approved prior to approval of this building plan. 5. There does not appear to be a permit for the garage called out under Keynote 4. Either provide approved permit documentation of provided building plans with this permit. If you have any questions about this transmittal, please contact Elisa Hamblin or Elisa.Hamblin@tucsonaz.gov. |
