Pima County assembled a comprehensive land cover map for the the SDCP and in the process of doing so, identified the strengths and weaknesses of prior mapping efforts. In order to combine the best aspects of past efforts, a common language had to be established among the classification systems.
This memorandum analyzed fourteen mapping efforts that have taken place in the past decades, or that are ongoing. About half of these initiatives created data that is useful for a basemap for regional bio-planning purposes. Analysis provides advice about how future research and mapping initiatives within Pima County can gather data in a more effective manner.
Provides an indication of why unregulated development offers so little benefit to the tax base by describing, briefly, the fiscal tax base impact of the unregulated lot split issue at the community and watershed level.

Pima County's level of service standards tend to be low compared to other jurisdictions and compared to benchmarking information. This is not a surprising result, given the County's expenditures per capita are far below those of county governments in other parts of the United States that are experiencing growth pressures. A concurrency management system will bring service levels in line with population demands.
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.
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.
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.
