This chapter provides an overview of planning and compatibility
tools that are either currently used or that are available for use
when evaluating and addressing compatibility issues in the Pinal
County JLUS Project Area. Relative to compatibility planning,
there are many existing plans and programs that are either
designed to address compatibility directly or that address
compatibility issues indirectly through the topics they cover.
This summary provides an overview of key plans and programs
that impact compatibility planning, organized by level of
government. There are three types of planning tools evaluated
relative to their applicability: permanent, semi-permanent, and
conditional. Permanent planning tools include acquisition
programs, either fee simple purchasing of property or the
purchasing of development rights. Semi-permanent tools include
regulations, such as zoning or existing legislation. Examples of
conditional tools include memoranda of understanding,
intergovernmental agreements, and other policy documents,
such as comprehensive plans that can be periodically modified.
This review provides an overview of potentially applicable
planning tools and determines how each may apply to
compatibility as presented under the compatibility factors
discussed in Chapter 5, Compatibility Assessment.
The overview of key plans and programs is organized by level of
government in the following order:
