29 The SDCP and the Comprehensive Plan Stated simply, there is a compatibility of natural and built environment planning that is the essence of rational and meaningful planning. Draft Comprehensive Land Use Plan Update, October 2001

30 Streamlined Regulation County deals with HCP requirements in the plan details vs. each developer preparing and submitting site-by-site HCPs Consolidated land use regulations Increased ease for developers in interpreting and using code Increased ease for County in administration One-stop shopping for property owners in local and federal regulatory compliance

31 What Needs to be Done County to draft SDCP and accompanying technical documents (October 2003) Public opportunities for input on plan to both USFWS and Pima County USFWS approve County s plan Continue work toward broader goals of Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan

32 Economic Benefits of Conservation Increased Supply of Valuable Natural Resources Savings for Taxpayers, Utility Ratepayers, and Property Owners Stronger Local Economy Reinforcement of Efforts of Accomplish Other Goals

36 The SDCP is a chance for us to directly shape the quality of life that we as current residents, the future generations of Pima County, as well as the desert wildlife, will share. While the concepts are laudable, the community must remain involved in the process to ensure that the SDCP truly provides adequate protection for our ecosystem and the well-being of our community.

37 Protecting our natural resources benefits us...

38 ...the wildlife we cherish

39 and generations yet to come. What kind of world will we leave them?
