Saguaro National Park encompasses two geographically distinct areas: Rincon Mountain District and Tucson Mountain District. Of the two, only Rincon Park has significant riparian habitat due to Tanque Verde Ridge. The scope of this study includes Rincon Creek, its tributary riparian areas and Tanque Verde Creek riparian tributary areas within or immediately adjacent to the Park. Both of these creeks have riparian resources that will likely be impacted by proposed development adjacent to the Park boundaries.
The general plan provides a framework for the future development of Peoria, as defined and driven by extensive community participation. The Plan is dynamic and intended to be periodically updated. The Plan is used by the City to evaluate land use changes, and to review building and development regulations. It also provides a basis for Peoria's Capital Improvement Plan.
