The Commission was created in 2003. Each report briefly outlines the activities of the past year and the projects for the coming year.
With the passage of the Federal Endangered Species Act in 1973, the stage was set for a confrontation between urban development and the provisions of Federal Law. Language was amended to the Act that established standards that a plan would have to meet before the Fish and Wildlife Service could approve it and issue a permit for the take of a listed species. In those jurisdictions that have adopted this approach, conservation of natural resources is no longer an afterthought but a major element that has to be considered during the regular land use permitting process.
This plan has been prepared in recognition of area flooding problems induced by urbanization within this unusually flat portion of the Tucson basin.
