Letter of Explanation 
Date: Last revised 12/1/2025 
Case Number: PL250400 
Property: 1727 S Ventura Dr, Tempe AZ 85281 
Zoning District: R1-6 
Applicant/ Owner: Blake Murphy, Member, Tundra Homes LLC  
Request: Residential Use Permit for Second Story Addition. 
 
Dear Planning Division, 
I am requesting a Residential Use Permit to maintain an existing upper-level room and bathroom that 
were constructed by a previous owner within the attic of this single-family home. The purpose of this 
request is to bring the property into compliance with the Tempe Zoning and Development Code. The 
upper room and bathroom are accessed internally and remain part of the primary residence; no exterior 
alterations or expansion beyond what the previous owner constructed are proposed. 
 
Use Permit Criteria - Zoning & Development Code §6-308(E): 
1) Traffic & Circulation: The space is part of the single-family residence and does not increase vehicular 
or pedestrian traffic or parking demand. 
2) Nuisance Factors: No odors, noise, vibration, smoke, heat, or glare are generated beyond normal 
residential activity. 
3) Neighborhood Character: While the previous owner’s construction included a raised portion of the 
roofline and the addition of windows to accommodate the upper-level room, the overall building height of 
the home did not increase. The modification is fully integrated into the existing structure and maintains 
compatibility with the surrounding one- and two-story residential homes. The architectural form, materials, 
and overall appearance continue to reflect the established character of the neighborhood. 
4) Compatibility: Although the roofline was previously modified by a past owner to accommodate the 
upper-level room, the home remains compatible with the surrounding residential area. There are multiple 
two-story homes in the immediate vicinity, including 1620 S Ventura Dr, 1724 S Ventura Dr, 502 E Vista 
Del Cerro Dr, 1715 S Sierra Vista Dr, 1731 S Sierra Vista Dr, 350 E Solana Dr, 347 E Solana Dr, 715 E 
Granada Dr, 602 E Encanto Dr, and 718 E Encanto Dr. The overall height of the home is consistent with 
these nearby two-story structures and does not exceed the residential scale of the neighborhood. As a 
result, the modified roofline integrates appropriately into the context of the surrounding homes. 
5) Public Welfare: Approval will enhance safety and ensure compliance, supporting neighborhood stability 
and the City's adopted plans. 
 
For these reasons, I respectfully request approval of this Use Permit. 
 
Sincerely, 
Blake Murphy
