LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
F. Zone F (Specific Plan Zone) shall be comprised of all land within the Town of Marana
for which a specific plan has been adopted by the Marana Town Council pursuant to
the provisions of Title 05.06.
05.01.03 Official Zone Map
The location and boundaries of each of the zones shall be shown on the Official Zone Map of
the Town of Marana, and said map is hereby declared to be an official record and a part of
this Code. Whenever amendments or changes are made in zone boundaries, such
amendments or changes shall be made by ordinance and recorded on the official zone map
promptly. Regardless of the existence of purported copies of the Official Zone Map, which
may from time to time be made or published, the Official Zone Map that shall be located in the
Office of the Planning Department shall be final authority in determining current zoning status.
05.02 Regulations Within Zones A-F
05.02.01 Zone A - Small Lot Zone
A. Permitted Uses. Within Zone A, residential, commercial, industrial, and quasi-public
land uses shall be permitted so long as each such land use is conducted on a lot no
larger than 2.5 acres and is consistent with the Significant Land Use Change
procedure described in Section 05.03. of this Code. This is not, however, to be
construed to permit any land use that may be specifically prohibited within the Town of
Marana by this or any other Ordinance of the Town of Marana or by State or Federal
law.
B. Density Requirements. There shall be no maximum density of land use per se, except
that density of land use on any parcel of land within Zone A shall be determined in part
by prior density of land use in accordance with the provisions for Significant Land Use
Change contained in Section 05.03 of this Code and by setback requirements defined
in this and other titles of this Code or as may be determined by the regulations of the
Arizona Department of Health Services or Pima County.
C. Setbacks. No building or structure, except a fence or wall that is not part of a building
and not more than six (6) feet in height, shall be constructed closer than ten (10) feet
to any side property line or closer than forty (40) feet plus one foot for each foot of
building height in excess of ten (10) feet above ground level to any front or rear
property line. Where a lot is situated on the corner of two dedicated streets, each of
the property lines along the right-of-way line of a dedicated street shall be considered
to be a front property line, and each other property line shall be considered to be a
side property line in determining allowable setbacks.
D. Nonconforming Setbacks in Prior Subdivisions. In subdivisions approved, platted, and
recorded prior to March 21, 1977, where lot sizes approved by Pima County do not
allow the construction of a building or structure comparable to existing buildings or
structures in that subdivision or similar subdivisions in the Town of Marana if the
standard setback requirements delineated in Paragraph C, above, are followed, then
the allowable setback from front and rear property lines shall be either the arithmetic
mean of the difference between the least distance between front and the appropriate
dimension of the building, structure, or mobile home considered to be normal for such
size lot, or the smaller of existing setbacks from front and rear property lines on
immediately adjacent lots, whichever is less. The appropriate dimension of the
building, structure, or mobile home that is considered to be normal for such size lot
shall be considered to be no larger than twenty-eight (28) by seventy (70) feet for
Title 5 - Zoning

TO%VN OF NL-\?-kNA, ARIZONA
LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
either a mobile home or any other type structure. The minimum setback from any side
property line. This shall apply to new construction only and not to existing buildings.
As an example, if the owner of a lot that measures ninety (90) feet wide by one
hundred (100) feet deep in such a prior-approved subdivision wishes to place on that
lot a mobile home that measures seventy (70) feet long by twenty-eight (28) feet wide,
that mobile home must be placed on the lot parallel to the street or front property line
so that it is centered between side property lines, leaving (10) ten feet on each end of
the mobile home between the home and the nearest side property line. The allowable
setback from front and rear property lines for such a mobile home would be
determined by subtracting twenty-eight (28) feet (the home's width) from one hundred
(100) feet (the lot's depth), giving a difference of seventy-two (72) feet, and dividing
that difference by two (2), giving a nonconforming setback of thirty-six (36) feet from
front and rear property lines or a nonconforming setback no less than the smaller or
corresponding setbacks of existing structures on immediately adjacent lots, rather than
the standard setback of forty (40) feet for a structure that is no more than (10) feet in
height.
E. Compensating Setbacks on Adjoining Lots. Notwithstanding the above, on any lot
located in Zone A, as defined by this Code, a building may be extended to one side
property line provided that:
1 a compensating setback of no less than twenty (20) feet is maintained from the
opposite side property line;
2. the wall of the building that along the side property line shall be built to conform
to standards for a two-hour fire wall as contained in the Uniform Building Code;
3. any gap of less than five (5) feet between the wall of the building that is along
the property line and the wall of any building located on the immediately
adjacent lot shall be closed at both front and rear, shall be covered above, and
shall be filled with rubble or other suitable nonflammable material; and
4. there is a written agreement filed with the Town Clerk and recorded with the
Pima County Recorder between the owners of the adjoining lots regarding the
responsibility for the closure of the gap described in (3) above.
05.02.02 Zone B - Medium Lot Zone
A. Permitted Uses. Within Zone B, any residential, commercial, industrial, or quasi-public
land use is permitted so long as each separate land use is conducted on a lot larger
than 2.5 acres but no larger than 25 acres and is consistent with the Significant Land
Use Change Procedure described in Section 05.03 of this Code. This is not to be
construed, however, to permit any land use that may be expressly prohibited within the
Town of Marana by other ordinances of the Town of Marana, by other provisions of this
code, or by state or federal law.
B. Density Requirements. There shall be no maximum density of land use per se in this
Zone, except as may be dictated by prior density of land use in accordance with the
Significant Land Use Change Procedure described in Section 05.03 of this Code and
by setback requirements defined elsewhere in this code.
C. Setbacks. No building or structure, except a fence or wall that is not part of a building
and not over six (6) feet in height shall be constructed closer than forty (40) feet plus
one (1) foot for each foot of building height in excess of ten (10) feet above ground

level to any front or rear property line. Where a lot is situated on the corner of two
dedicated streets, each of the property lines along the right-of-way line of a dedicated
street shall be considered to be a front property line, and each other property line shall
be considered to be a side property line in determining allowable setbacks.
05.02.03 Zone C - Large Lot Zone
A. Permitted Uses. Within Zone C, any residential, commercial, industrial, or quasi-public
land use shall be permitted, so long as each separate activity is conducted on a lot no
smaller than 25 acres and is otherwise consistent with the Significant Land Use
Change procedures as described in Section 05.03 of this Code. This is not to be
construed, however, to permit any land use that may be expressly prohibited within the
Town of Marana by other sections of this code other ordinances of the Town of
Marana, or state or federal law.
B. Density Requirements. The maximum density allowed shall be one dwelling unit or
one commercial, industrial, or quasi-public establishment per 25 acres.
C. Setbacks. No building or structure, except a fence or wall that is not part of a building
and not over six (6) feet in height shall be constructed closer than forty (40) feet plus
one (1) foot for each foot of building height in excess of ten (10) feet above ground
level to any front or rear property line. Where a lot is situated on the corner of two
dedicated streets, each of the property lines along the right-of-way line of a dedicated
street shall be considered to be a front property line, and each other property line shall
be considered to be a side property line in determining allowable setbacks.
05.02.04 Zone D - Designated Flood Plain Zone
A. Permitted Uses. Within Zone D no residential land use shall be permitted, nor shall
any commercial, industrial, or quasi-public use be permitted that entails the
accommodation of persons overnight or the storage of materials or equipment for
more than 24 hours if such materials or equipment would become hazardous to human
health and safety upon exposure to water, or if such materials or equipment would
result in a hazardous contamination of the Santa Cruz River or Brawley Wash as
determined by the Town Planning Administrator.
B. Density Requirements. The maximum density allowed in Zone D shall be the same as
that which is allowed in Zone B.
C. Setbacks. The setback requirements for Zone D shall be the same as those for Zone
B.
D. Approval Required. No construction or excavation that will alter the natural drainage
pattern, direction or rate of flow, or the carrying capacity of the Santa Cruz River or the
Brawley Wash can be performed unless previously approved by the Town Council
after recommendation from the Planning Commission.
05.02.05 Zone E - Transportation Corridor Zone
A. Permitted Uses. Within Zone E, no residential land use shall be permitted. Any
commercial, industrial, or quasi-public land use shall be permitted which is consistent
in its location with the land use element of the General Plan of the Town of Marana
and the Significant Land Use Change Procedure described in Section 05.03. of this
Code. This is not to be construed, however, to permit any land use that may be
