What a good response to plan check corrections has

General guidance, not Pima County’s own rules. Check its page before you resubmit.

Answer every comment, in the reviewer’s order and numbering, so nothing is missed.
Say plainly what you changed for each comment, or why no change is needed.
Name the sheet and detail where each change is, so the reviewer can find it fast.
Mark changes on the drawings (clouds or deltas are common) and keep sheet numbers the same.
Send the response letter, the revised drawings and any new calculations together.
