Status: COMPLETED 2010. The data was converted from the most recent (2010) versions of the adopted plans, which can be found at https://cms3.tucsonaz.gov/planning/plans/ Supplemental Information: In March 2010, Pima Association of Governments (PAG), in cooperation with the City of Tucson (City), initiated the Planned Land Use Data Conversion Project. This 9-month effort involved evaluating mapped land use designations and selected spatially explicit policies for nearly 50 of the City's adopted neighborhood, area, and subregional plans and converting the information into a Geographic Information System (GIS) format. Further documentation for this file can be obtained from the City of Tucson Planning and Development Services Department or Pima Association of Governments Technical Services. A brief summary report was provided, as requested, to the City of Tucson which highlights some of the key issues found during the conversion process (e.g., lack of mapping and terminology consistency among plans). The feature class "Plan_boundaries" represents the boundaries of the adopted plans. The feature class "Plan_mapped_land_use" represents the land use designations as they are mapped in the adopted plans. Some information was gathered that is implicit based on the land use designation or zones (see field descriptions below). Since this information is not explicitly stated in the plans, it should only be viewed by City staff for general planning purposes. The feature class "Plan_selected_policies" represents the spatially explicit policies that were fairly straightforward to map. Since these policies are not represented in adopted maps, this feature class should only be viewed by City staff for general planning purposes only. 2010 - created by Jamison Brown, working as an independent contractor for Pima Association of Governments, created this file in 2010 by digitizing boundaries as depicted (i.e. for the mapped land use) or described in the plans (i.e. for the narrative policies). In most cases, this involved tracing based on parcel (paregion) or street center line (stnetall) feature classes. Snapping was used to provide line coincidence. For some map conversions, freehand sketches were drawn to mimick the freehand sketches in the adopted plan.

This map was created to provide a link to significant projects that are in an "active" status, meaning that the work is visible to the community, in the case of permits, or that community members had an opportunity to provide input through various means, in the case of special approvals.“BY RIGHT” PERMITSWhat are “By Right” Permits?By Right permits, which are also referred to as ministerial permits or simply permits, are granted if the proposed project complies with established standards set forth in the City of Tucson’s Unified Development Code (UDC) and the accompanying Technical Standards. These permits, since they are not discretionary, are not subject to public review, are reviewed by PDSD staff for compliance with the code and standards, and are issued administratively by PDSD staff. For what period of time are permits shown on the Activity Map?Permits are shown on the Development Activity Map from the time PDSD issues a permit to the applicant until the work authorized by the permit is considered complete. In general, this period corresponds to the time in which physical activity, such as grading, paving, landscaping, and construction, and the related inspections, occur. Each permit on the Map has an associated project status between work authorization and completion. Definitions of each of these "active" statuses can be found here.What kinds of permits are not shown on the Activity Map?PDSD issues around 10,000 permits a year, many for small activities that are have little to no visibility or impact outside the property in question. Because there are so many permits for projects such as solar installations, water heater replacements, installation of fences or walls, and installations of pools and spas, these permits are excluded from the Map. For more information on all activities associated with a specific property, go to Property Research Online.A list of all the permits shown on the Development Activity Map can be found here.SPECIAL APPROVALSWhat are special approvals?Special approvals, which are also referred to as “discretionary decisions,” are granted at the discretion of an authorized decision maker -- such as the PDSD Director; an appointed Board, Committee, or Commission; the Zoning Examiner; Board of Adjustment; and/or the Mayor and Council -- and include public notification. A special approval may be needed for a variety of reasons, such as if the proposed project is not consistent with underlying zoning for the property, is deviating from regulations found in the City Unified Development Code, or does not comply with the requirements of a designated special district, such as an Historic Preservation Zone. For what period of time are special approvals shown on the Development Activity Map?Projects requiring special approvals and public notification are shown on the Development Activity Mapfrom the time PDSD receives the project application and remain throughout the public review process. Each special approval on the Map has an associated project status between application and approval (projects are removed from the Map once the final approvals for the project are obtained). Definitions of each of these "active" statuses can be found here.What kinds of special approvals are not shown on the Activity Map?Some special approvals are approved administratively by the PDSD Director and do not require review by an advisory body or public notification. These approvals consist almost exclusively of minor replacement of equipment on existing cell towers, for which public notification is not required. For more information on all activities associated with a specific property, go to Property Research Online.A list of all special approvals shown on the Development Activity Map can be found here.
