A single-family residence (SFR) is a permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-2). See Use-Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.5 - 9. 10. 1. Provide a residential plot plan that meets the requirements found at: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/pdsd/forms/Residential_Plot_Plan_Requirements.pdf, to include but not limited to: a. Show all adjacent parcel zoning on the plan. b. Show perimeter yard setbacks from the existing garage to the north and west property lines. c. The lot coverage calculation is not correct. Review UDC Article 6.4.3 and the example shown on the Residential Plot Plan requirements and provide a correct calculation. Lot coverage includes any vehicle use area whether improved or unimproved. 2. Provide full floor plans for the two (2) other structures on the site so that Zoning can determine the total number of dwelling units on site and vehicle parking requirements. 3. For Zoning purposes, the proposed Rec Room, as shown on the plan with a double bowl sink and full-sized refrigerator, is considered a dwelling unit. For this Rec Room not to be considered a dwelling unit the sink needs to be changed to a single bowl bar type sink and the refrigerator to an under-counter refrigerator. If the sink is changed to a single bowl bar type sink and the refrigerator to an under-counter refrigerator the Rec Room by definition is still considered a bedroom, see UDC Article 11.4.3, and may affect the number of vehicle parking spaces needed. Until comment 2 above is addressed Zoning cannot verify parking requirements. See UDC Article 4.9.7.B.7 for vehicle parking space requirements in the R-1 Zone. 4. Until comment 1.b is addressed Zoning cannot determine if setbacks are met, but as you converting non-habitable space to habitable if perimeter yard setbacks are not met at a minimum a neighbor’s setback waiver is required. To secure this neighbor setback waiver the following statement must be provided on the plot plan and be signed and dated by the adjacent property owner(s): 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: _________________________________ If you have any questions about this transmittal, please contact Zone1.desk@tucsonaz.gov. |
