TRANSMITTAL: September 14, 2022
This site is located in the R-1 zone (UDC 4.7.1). 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.

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

Per UDC Article 4.9.7.B.7 For any new single-family dwelling in the R-1 zone with five bedrooms , three parking spaces are required. For every bedroom over five, one additional space is required for each bedroom . For all single-family dwellings in the R-1 zone with five or more bedrooms , and for all lots containing two or more single-family dwellings, with the second dwelling having more than one bedroom , all parking spaces must be located on-site , either in a side or rear perimeter yard . Parking spaces may not be located in a vehicular use area in any front street perimeter yard . A parking area is not required to be developed to a commercial standard. A dustproof parking surface is required to at least a minimum of two inches of compacted pea gravel. An existing covered residential parking area may be used. Clearly show the required 3 vehicle parking spaces and demonstrate that the dustproofing is met.

2) Prescriptive-based wind uplift criteria.
(Please note that the requirements of this Section are in addition to those required for the structural connection of wood members).
2.1 Conventionally-framed wood or cold-formed steel structures.

Where clips are used, they shall be minimum Simpson H2.5 (A34 at ledger), or equivalent load capacity, of configuration to match connection and spaced at intervals not to exceed 24". At openings, lower cripple studs do not require clipping but king/trimmer studs require double clips at bottom and upper cripples require both full clipping to header as well as header to king stud. All platform framing requires either strapping listed for the purpose or continuous sheathing over rim joist from stud to stud vertically at each floor level. All non-bearing exterior walls shall be clipped as above except that the spacing may be extended not to exceed every other stud.
