The Public Draft Pinal County Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) is now available for a public review and comment period.  The JLUS documents are made up of the Background Report and the JLUS Report.  The Background Report provides background on the JLUS process, the Project Area and communities involved in the project, Arizona Army National Guard missions and operations, and a detailed assessment of the compatibility issues identified through the process.  The JLUS Report provides a summary of the Background Report chapters and contains the Implementation Plan that includes the recommended strategies identified to address the compatibility issues. 

Each document can be downloaded by clicking on the associated links below.  A comment form spreadsheet is also available for download.  This spreadsheet can be used to submit comments on the Public Draft documents.  Comments can also be submitted through this website by clicking the “The Public Draft Comments” tab in the upper left-hand corner.The Public Draft review and comment period runs from December 18, 2019 through January 10, 2020.  Please submit all comments either through the project website, or by emailing the comment tracker spreadsheet to Bren Cox with Matrix Design Group by Friday, January 10, 2020.

Thank you to all who attended the second set of public workshops for the Pinal County Joint Land Use Study!  Two separate workshops were hosted by Pinal County, in partnership with other project stakeholders including the Village of Red Rock, Town of Florence, and Arizona National Guard.  The workshops were held on Monday, October 1 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Red Rock Fire Station and on Wednesday, October 3 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Florence Library and Community Center.

This set of public workshops provided an update on the JLUS project progress, presented the Arizona National Guard military mission footprints, and allowed the public an opportunity to provide input on the importance of each compatibility issue that has been identified through this JLUS process. The issues being evaluated are the result of comments and feedback obtained from the JLUS Policy Committee and Technical Working Group (made up of representatives from the jurisdictions, agencies and organizations involved in this project), stakeholder interviews, and public input provided at the first set of public workshops that were held in June 2018.  At the workshops, participants were able to learn more about existing compatibility concerns and provide input on the actions that should be considered to address them.

If you were unable to attend the workshops, you can still provide your input on the importance of the compatibility issues by responding to the online survey by clicking here. 

Thank you to all who attended the first set of public workshops for the Pinal County Joint Land Use Study (JLUS). Pinal County hosted the first set of public workshops for the Pinal County JLUS on June 4, 2018 at Silverbell Army Heliport and June 5, 2018 at Florence Library and Community Center. The material presented at the two workshops was the same. During the workshops, participants were given an overview of what a JLUS is, how it is being developed, the stakeholders involved, and an opportunity to provide their input on the potential issues in the vicinity of the four Arizona National Guard sites that are part of the study through an interactive, real-time survey. If you were not able to attend the workshop, it’s not too late to provide feedback. Click Here to take the survey that was given at the workshop.
