Article 17~4
SCREENING AND BUFFERYARD REQUIREMENTS
Section 17-4-1 Scope
A bufferyard is a combination of a landscape setback to improve visual impacts, reduce noise
and to transition between different land uses. The bufferyard requirement is intended to
separate incompatible land uses from each other. It is also required to ameliorate
incompatible land uses within the same zoning district. Bufferyards function to eliminate or
minimize potential nuisances such as dirt, litter, noise, glare of lights, and signs. Bufferyards
visually soften and screen unsightly buildings or parking areas. Bufferyards are also designed
to ensure a desired character along publiC streets and roads.
Section 17-4-2 Purpose
A bufferyard may be used for passive recreation. It may contain pedestrian, bike and
equestrian trails. Where appropriate, linkages shall be encouraged within or along a bufferyard
as long as the total width of the bufferyard is maintained, and all other regulations of the Code
are met. Swimming pools, tennis courts, sports fields, golf courses, parking lots, or other uses
requiring structures or removal of vegetation shall not be permitted in bufferyards.
Section 17-4-3 Location
Bufferyards shall be located on the outer perimeter of a lot or parcel, extending to the property
or boundary line. If bufferyards exist on adjacent properties, connecting linkages shall be
established both for vegetation and sidewalks. This may also apply within a lot or parcel,
between one lease use from an adjacent lease use, if such use is not similar.
Section 17-4-4 Determination of bufferyard requirements
A. To determine the bufferyard plantings between two (2) adjacent parcels or between a
parcel and a public street, the following requirements shall be met:
1. Adjacent land use zones must be identified as outlined in Table 7-1;
-~
Marana Land Use and Development Code
7-5
Rev. March 5, J 997
2. Bufferyard plant requirements must be determined by a comparison of zone, use and
once the zones are determined, the appropriate formula to determine plant
requirements must be applied as follows:
(i) Alternative A. If the adjacent properties have a higher zoning intensity
than the project site, then calculate one plant for every one hundred
(100) square feet of area. For every three (3) shrubs planted, one
gallon minimum, one fifteen (15) gallon tree must be planted. For
example: a one thousand square foot bufferyard would need ten (10)
plants, seven (7) one gallon shrubs and three (3), fifteen (15) gallon
trees. Earth berms of a minimum size of one cubic yard (3'W x 6'L x
1.5'H) may be used in lieu of two (2) shrubs
Alternative A
(ii) Alternative B. If adjacent properties have an equal or lower zoning
intensity than the project site, then calculate one plant for every eighty
(80) square feet of bufferyard. For every three (3) shrubs planted, one
gallon minimum, one fifteen (15) gallon tree must be planted. For
example: a one thousand (1000) square foot bufferyard would need
twelve and one-half (12 1/2) plants, rounded to the next whole number
equals thirteen (13) plants, ten (10) shrubs and three (3) trees. Earth
berms of a minimum size of one cubic yard (3'W x 6" Lx 1.5'H) may be
used in lieu of two (2) shrubs.

BUFFERYARD OPTIONS
Section 17-5-1 Bufferyard Agreements
Marana Land Use and Development Code
7-6
Rev. March 5, 1997
--
Property owners may enter into agreements, subject to the approval of the Planning
Commission and the Town Council, with abutting landowners to use adjoining land to provide
some or all of a required bufferyard. The total bufferyard requirements shall remain consistent
with this Chapter.
Section 17-5-2 Reduction of Bufferyard Requirements
The bufferyard requirement may be reduced if a six (6) foot high decorative masonry wall is
constructed and the wall requirement is noted on the approved subdivision plat and landscape
plan. If a wall is used as part of the bufferyard requirement, the calculations for plant materials
shall be reduced by one-half (%). Any wall used for screening purposes shall be kept clean
of graffiti. Graffiti shall be removed through cleaning or repainting, whichever is appropriate.
Unpainted walls that are painted to cover graffiti shall be painted a color to match existing
material. Vines or other landscape screening material may be supplemented as an additional
deterrent from graffiti. Planning Department personnel will issue a seventy-two (72) hour notice
to remove graffiti. After that time, the property owner, agent or other responsible party shall
be liable for fines of One Hundred Dollars ($100) per day until the graffiti is removed or
covered.

the same or like species of equal size within thirty (30) days of the plant's
demise. Failure to replace dead plant material within the specified time
period shall constitute a zoning violation and be subject to fines.
Section 17-7-4 Compliance
The Planning Department staff will periodically spot-inspect landscape installations for
compliance with the approved landscape plans and on-going maintenance as required in
this Chapter.
Section 17-7-5 Approval
An on-site visit will be conducted by staff at the time of final installation to approve
compliance with the landscape plan prior to authorizing a certificate of occupancy. The
zoning inspector may recommend correction of non-compliance items that will need to be
corrected. Re-evaluation shall be made within an agreed upon time frame. Prior to
receiving a certificate of approval or occupancy, all non-compliance items shall be
completed to specification in this Chapter. The property owner, agent or other authorized
personnel will be noticed in writing of the non-compliance items by Planning Department
staff.
Article 17.8
ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE ZONES
~"....-
Section 17-8-1 Protected Ridge, Protected Peaks and Riparian Areas
All development occurring in protected peak and ridge areas and noted riparian areas shall
make provisions for the establishment of a resource corridor and mitigation plan which
shall include a statement of findings as to why one hundred percent (100%) preservation
of these areas cannot be accomplished.
Section 17-8-2 Surveys
A. The developer must provide the Town with a complete survey of the vegetative and
wildlife communities using the site. Threatened or endangered species identified
in the area shall be protected or relocated.
B. Development of biological linkages between existing corridors shall be maintained.
Animal species shall be protected within these linkages.
C. Biological linkages or wildlife corridor sizes and shapes shall be determined on a
case-specific basis. The linkage can be further protected by a buffer of adjacent
low-density land use, such as custom lots and/or a golf course.
Marana Land Use and Development Code
7-9
Rev. March 5, 1997

D.
The combined linkage and buffer shall be wide enough to accommodate the
wildlife species most sensitive to human encroachment known to inhabit the
property.
All areas determined to be biological linkages or wildlife corridors, shall remain
undisturbed throughout the course of development and shall be fenced off during
construction. All construction documents (grading plans) shall include the location
of the biological linkage with a written notation "off-limits" added on the plans.
Any inadvertent grading of the linkage should be mitigated at one hundred percent
(1 00%) by revegetating with plantings chosen to match adjacent undisturbed
natural areas with a minimum of five (5) years growth. Plant materials shall be
introduced to closely match existing species in terms of size, massing and quality.

TABLE 7-2
LOW WATER USE/DROUGHT
TOLERANT PLANT LIST
OFFICIAL REGULATORY LIST FOR:
Arizona Department of Water Resources,
Tucson Active Management Area
City of Tucson
Pima County
Town of Marana
The plants on this list can be grown with moderate to no supplemental irrigation once they are
established. Occasionally, for good appearance, supplemental irrigation may be applied during the
growing season. In addition to the cacti on this list, any cacti salvaged and tagged in compliance with
state agricultural and horticultural regulations may be used.
Even though all of the plants on the Low Water UselDrought Tolerant Plant List meet the ADWR
standard for low consumption, please check the regulations of the governing jurisdiction to determine
whether a particular plant selection meets alllocational, aesthetic, or functional requirements. For
example, plants used for screening may have to be evergreen, have dense foliage, and grow to
required heights. On the other hand, plants used within sight visibility triangles may have height
restrictions. In some applications, there may be a requirement for native materials or a "desert or
natural appearance."
Some plants on the list may fall under more than one plant type category and this is noted (e.g. Acacia
constricta can be grown as a tree or a shrub depending upon the growth habit that is preferred).
Applications for additions, deletions or exceptions to the list may be submitted to the Department of
Water Resources, Tucson Active Management Area Office for consideration. Phone: (602) 628-6758;
Fax: (602) 628-6759.
