How to Read the JLUS Documents
The Pinal County Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) consists of three separate documents that provide different levels of
information. These three documents are:
JLUS Background Report
The JLUS Background Report provides a detailed technical background of existing conditions within the Pinal County
JLUS Project Area. It is separated out into five chapters. Chapter 1 provides an introduction and overview of the Pinal
County JLUS and why it was conducted. Chapter 2 introduces the communities that are within the JLUS Study Area and
gives an overview of their history and current statistics, including population, housing characteristics, economic
outlook, and past, present, and future trends of growth and development. Chapter 3 provides an overview of Pinal
County and its operational facilities, discusses the installation’s mission and tenants, its strategic and local importance,
and facility and training capabilities and operations. It concludes with a discussion of the military footprints that go
outside the installation boundaries. Chapter 4 provides an overview of relevant plans, programs, and studies that are
tools to address compatibility issues in the JLUS Study Area. Chapter 5 presents the compatibility issues identified and
a detailed assessment of each and how it impacts Pinal County or the surrounding community.
