PROJECT:
T22CM07009
10036 E El Poso Tr - RX-1
Master Bath Addition & Renovation (1st Review)


TRANSMITTAL: September 19, 2022
This site is located in the RX-1 zone (UDC 4.7.6). A single-family residence (SFR) is a permitted use in this zone (Table 4.8-1). See Use-Specific Standards 4.9.7.B.6, .8, & .9.

COMMENT: Resubmit revised drawings and a detailed response letter, which states how all Zoning Review Section comments were addressed.

1. Show all structures on the site on the plot plan. There are two (2) detached accessory structures located south of the existing SFR. The southern most accessory structure appears on aerial photos some time after 2010. Zoning was not able to find approved permit documents for this structure. Either provide approved permit documents or include it in this permit. It does not appear that this structure meets the required 20’-0” perimeter yard setback requirement, see UDC Table 6.3-1.A. If this structure does not meet perimeter yard setbacks at a minimum a neighbor’s setback waiver is required. Per UDC Article 6.6.2.D An accessory structure that exceeds the allowable height of a wall within a perimeter yard and is detached from a principal structure shall comply with the perimeter yard width standards of the principal structure, except that the accessory structure may be built to a parcel line with the consent of the adjoining or, when separated by an alley, adjacent property owner(s). 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: _________________________________


2. The proposed bathroom addition does not meet the required 20’-0” perimeter yard setback requirement, see UDC Table 6.3-1.A, a Design Development Option (DDO) must be submitted and approved to reduce the required setback,
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.


If you have any questions about this transmittal, please contact Zone1.desk@tucsonaz.gov.
