A study on the last five years of rezoning activity in eastern Pima County for the Suburban Ranch Zone, Rural Homestead Zone, and Rural Residential Zone. This indicator of development activity does not include activity in the incorporated areas or the land that was rezoned and often platted.
Summarizes applications placed in the newspaper and mailed directly to Steering Committee members to solicit Land Panel membership. 177 applications were received and compiled. Includes a suggested alternative for selecting Land Panel members.
Provides a thoughtful and timely assessment of how Pima County's practices and policy proposals in land use stand up under the test of nationally recognized principles of smart growth.
The purpose of this paper is to provide background information on trends and possible future changes in urban structure and lifestyles important for planning the development of a parcel of Arizona state trust land known as Superstition Vistas (SV). This parcel, which is located just south of the Superstition Mountains in Pinal County, has an area of 275 square miles—enough land to provide housing for 900,000 new Phoenix metro-area residents at current population densities.
The aspects of future urban living discussed in this paper are those important for land-use planning—density, neighborhood design, transportation demand, etc. Very little attention will be given to the interior of homes. Also, since the SV parcel is currently undeveloped, emphasis will be placed on changes in urban structure that can be accomplished in greenfield developments rather than the in-fill of urban cores.
