During the planning process for the SDCP, concerns were raised regarding loss of property tax revenue as well as adverse tax base impacts of Pima County purchasing parcels for open space. This report assesses impacts in two ways. First, the net assessed values of the open space parcels before purchase are compared to the sum of the net assessed values of all parcels in Pima County and in each applicable school district. Second, the property taxes assessed by Pima County and applicable school districts on each open space parcel before purchase is compared to the sum of the property taxes assessed on all parcels within Pima County and applicable school districts.
Provides a snapshot of past and current conditions, and represents the very best of collaborative efforts between the expert community and County staff. This study was made possible by a gift from Dr. Wendell Minckley of a database that provided information about all known surveys of native fish within Pima County, including the species, river basin, drainage, date, number of specimens collected, collector, museum catalogue number, citations, locality, and any comments made.
Arizona's fish story begins in 1904 with the publication of Morton Chambrlain's "Survey of Arizona Fishes", the first detailed study by an aquatic biologist of the area. He was able to count sixteen native species in Arizona. Today more than half are either extinct or listed as threatened or endangered, and most of the rest are considered to be imperiled. In Pima County, we count more extirpated native fish than remaining residents. The story, absent a fairly dramatic change in circumstances, will end with the extirpation or extinction of all native fish in the region. This report provides an opportunity to change the circumstances of aquatic and riparian systems in eastern Pima County.
This memorandum is intended to provide 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.
Provides an inventory of resources in Ajo and western Pima County and land use planning proposals so that the Planning and Zoning Commission and Board of Supervisors have the opportunity to add western Pima County to the Comprehensive Plan as part of the 2001 Plan Update.
Reviews the Pima County tax base since 1977 and concludes in part that the tax base has less capacity to produce revenue than it did twenty three years ago. When population growth is factored into the assessment, the County is actually operating on a smaller revenue base than it was two decades ago.
