Pima Association of Governments has worked with County staff for over two years on a series of riparian and water resource studies related to the SDCP and Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The three studies found within this document represent the final versions of (1) Water Quality in Pima County; (2) Water Quality of Priority Streams in Pima County; and (3) Water Quality Requirements of Native Aquatic Species in Pima County.
This paper expands on the Conceptuall Plan (April 1998) for a cultural and riparian restoration project called Paseo de las Iglesias.
To facilitate development of the Environmental Impact Statement which must accompany the Section 10 multi-species conservation proposal, a series of issue papers is being published. This study discusses water resources in the context of the alternatives being considered to date.
Because the West Branch area has been left alone, it has a chance to recover and become a part of the larger Paseo de las Iglesias project, and a cornerstone of a more extensive effort at ecological restoration involving the mesic coorridors of Pima County, the Santa Cruz, Rillito, and Pantano.
Brings together the findings of previous reports and suggests policies to address water quality issues in Pima County.
In order to work effectively, concurrency requirements and level of service standards mus be an integral part of long term planning and the development review process. To create incentives for density, affordable housing, and mixed use development, staff will propose the application of lower level of service standards for land use types appropriate to certain growth areas.
Compiles water quality data for the streams that have been identified as priorities and assesses land uses and potential pollution sources that might impact the water quality of the highest priority aquatic habitats.
Provides background information relevant to the Circulation Element of the draft Comprehensive Land Use Plan. It describes historic traffic volumes for roads within the various subregional planning areas of Pima County, and compare Pima County trends to national data in areas such as vehicle ownership, travel time, vehicle miles traveled, work trip modes of travel, registration, and vehicle costs.
Report is a review and compilation of existing data on water quality requirements of eight aquatic species. By identifying the water quality requirements of priority vulnerable species of concern, and assessing the quality of water that serves or might serve as potential habitat, we begin to understand which sources will support priority aquatic species identified by the SDCP.
Provides insights on historical and current issues in transportation planning. The first section describes the last five decades of planning efforts, funding initiatives and the increasing use of the roadway system. The second section is a series of fact sheets and maps of each subregion that presents the extent of the roadways, traffic volumes on major streets, transit and bicycle facility availability, future planned improvements, issues within the subregion, an overlay of the draft biological reserve, and in the northwest, a further overlay of pygmy-owl habitat with a detailed analysis of bond projects.
