 REMINDER: COMMUNITY CORRIDORS TOOL SURVEY CLOSES ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25
The Community Corridors Tool (CCT) survey closes on Monday, November 25, 2024. The City of Tucson Planning and Development Services Department (PDSD) staff encourages the community to review the CCT Meeting Materials, Report, Executive Summary, and Proposed Code and then share your input to help refine this important tool.
The documents provide background on the CCT, an overview of its organization and standards, and a draft of the proposed code amendment. The CCT was developed at the request of Mayor and Council to create zoning tools that support redevelopment of underutilized sites along Tucson’s corridors.
How to Access the Documents: The CCT meeting materials, draft report and proposed code document are available for review at the buttons below.
