TITLE 17
ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE PRESERVATION
Article 17 -1 ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE ZONES
PURPOSE. These regulations provide for the protection and preservation
of unique and significant ridges, peaks, riparian areas, wildlife corridors,
rock outcroppings, and areas of significant vegetation where they occur
throughout the Town. The protection of these unique natural areas is a
priority that can be achieved through the implementation of the following
procedures, requirements and standards.
Section 17 -14 PROTECTED RIDGES, PROTECTED PEAKS, RIPARIAN AREAS,
WILDLIFE CORRIDORS AND AREAS OF SIGNIFICANT VEGETATION
All development shall be reviewed to determine to what extent the site
contains unique and significant ridges, peaks, riparian areas, wildlife
corridors and significant vegetation. Where it is determined, through the
preparation of a Site Resource Inventory (Section 17-1-2) that unique and
significant natural features occur on the subject property, measures shall
be taken to protect and preserve these areas. The following information
shall be required, as it may apply.
A. The property owner shall provide the Town with a complete Site
Resource Inventory (SRI) per the requirements of Section 17 -1 -2.
B. Biological linkages between existing wildlife and riparian corridors shall
be maintained. Animal species shall be protected within these linkages.
C. The size and shape of riparian and wildlife corridor linkages shall be
determined based on the SRI on a case - specific basis. The linkage
can be further protected and enhanced by a buffer of low density land.
use, such as custom home lots with delineated natural open space
and/or open space or golf course. The combined linkage and buffer
shall be wide enough to accommodate the wildlife species most
sensitive to human encroachment known to inhabit the property based
on the recommendations of the biologist and acceptance by the Town
of Marana.
D. All area determined to include riparian or wildlife linkages and
corridors shall be protected and 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
riparian and wildlife corridors and linkages dearly delineated and
labeled as such with an added written notation off- limits' added on the
plans.
E. Any inadvertent grading of the riparian and wildlife corridors and
linkages shall be mitigated at one hundred (100) percent by
revegetation with plantings chosen to match adjacent undisturbed
natural areas with a minimum of five (5) years growth. Plant materials
shall be Introduced to - dosey match existing species In terms of size,
massing and quality, as approved by the Planning Director.

Section 17.1 -2
SITE RESOURCE INVENTORY
The Site Resource Inventory (SRI) shall be the primary evaluative design
tool upon which the site design (site plan, rezoning, subdivision plat, and/or
development plan) and Native Plant Program are based. The information
contained in the SRI shall be utilized for purposes of site planning and
design, and shall describe and Identify natural characteristics of the site, as
listed . below, including areas of unique and significant peaks, ridges,
vegetation and rods outcroppings, riparian areas and wildlife corridors.
A. To promote these objectives, the Town will require a Site Resource
Inventory be prepared in conformance to these regulations and
submitted two (2) weeks prior to the Pre Application Meeting required
for all Rezoning, Preliminary Plat and Development Plan submittals or
at a minimum of one month prior to development submittal.
B. The Site Resource inventory shall be based on an aerial photograph of
the site (scale of 1•=401 that Is no older than two years from the data of
submittal. The SRI shall contain the following information, dearly
identified and distinguished:
1. The following information shall be graphically shown:
a. Unique Significant Vegefatim shall be delineated with heavy
solid lines.
b. Riparian Areas shall be delineated with dashed lines.
c. Wildlife Corridors shall be delineated with dash-M-dash lines.
d. Unique Rock Outcroppings shall be delineated with light
shading.
e. Steep Hillside Slopes shall be delineated with hatching
indkating 15 percent to 25 percent and greater slopes.
f. 100 -Year Regulatory Flood Llmlts. (FEMA) shall be delineated
with altemating dash- dash - dot- dot-dash -dash lines.
g. Property Boundaries dearly identified and labeled with lengths
of each.
h. Locetion Map (at a scale of 3" =1 mile) provided in the Upper
right -hand comer of the sheet.
1. Graphic Scale and North Arrow of drawing dearly shown.
2. Town review of the Site Resource Inventory shall be completed
within 15 days of the SRI submittal.
C. Unique Significant Vegetation is characterized as specific plant
communities and/or unique plant occurrences and/or unique individual
specimens that demonstrate through the presence of certain criteria, as
listed below, areas of special value to the Sonoran Desert Ecosystem.
1. plant Community is an area of vegetation dominated by one or
more species. Climate, elevation, soil type and other factors
ultimately determine the limits and boundaries of particular plant
communities. Examples of a plant community dominated by one
species are grassland and creosote bush association, or a grove of
trees, for example a mesquite bosque. These communities can
form almost pure stands of single species. Examples of co-
dominant communities are Cottonwood - Willow and Palo Verde -
Saguaro associations. Plant communities create an environment
that is beneficial, unique and/or valuable to the desert ecosystem.
2. Unique Plant Occurrences are areas of vegetation that exist In
contrest to the majority of the surrounding vegetative community
due to either micxoclimates or availability of water resources.
Examples are stands of ironwood trees and riparian areas.
Page 2 of 39
..«.,,. T. d Development Code Revind IQpI W=1.17
3. Unique Plant refers to any native tree, shrub or cacti with
extraordinary characteristics such as, but not limited to, age, size,
shape, form, canopy cover or aesthetic value. An example may be
crested saguaros, a rare, massive, ancient tree or specimen tree
with an unusual shape.
D. Criteria for Identifying Unique Significant Vegetation.
Due to the subjectivity Involved with identifying unique significant
vegetation, the following criteria and site conditions should at a
minimum exist and be utilized:
1. Plant species are native to the area.
2. Plant species composition is typical for the area.
3. Plants are generally healthy and will survive for 5 or more years.
4. Plant density is unusually high for the conditions (soil, slope,
orientation, water availability).
5. An unusually large number of mature specimens of individual trees
and/or columnar cactus species are present.
6. Noxious/invasive species are few and not visually prominent, such
as Desert Broom, Tamarisk, Mexican Palo Verde and Tree of
Heaven.
7. Grading or Gearing has not substantially altered the landscape in
the area.
8. Constructed non - native landscapes do not qualify as unique
significant vegetation.
E. Preservation of unique significant vegetation should emphasize
contiguous -groups of natural areas and unique significant vegetation.
Areas of unique significant vegetation include, but are not limited to,
other natural areas protected by this code.

Definitions:
Ridges/Peaks: Raised land formations that are a dominant feature in the surrounding
landscape or constitute a significant linking element.
1. Any parcel, lot, or project site containing slopes of fifteen (15) percent
or greater, which are both bnger than fifty (50) feet when measured in
any horizontal direction and higher than seven and one -half (7.5) feet
when measured vertically.
2. Areas which exhibit slopes that fail to meet the aforementioned
standards but contain; boulder collapse, boulder roiling, rockfalls, slope
collapse, and or talus slopes shall also be considered significant and or
unique, and therefore subject to the preservation standards described
in Article 17 -1.
Riparian
Areas: Riparian areas contain a moderate to high density of healthy and diverse
species and habitats adjacent to or occuring on or near a watercourse or
drainage feature.
Rock
Outcroppings: Land- containing a diversity of rock groupings, structure types, exposed
bedrock, and or any significant geomorphic formation of varying dimension
and texture. '
Wildlife
Corridors: Any area or parcel of land that composes or contributes to a region where
habitat Is fragmented by urbanization and thereby compromises natural
animal movement Wildlife Corridors shall be established in such areas as
to provide a source of connectivity between two or more isolated habitat
Islands. This designation Is designed to increase the confluence of the
natural landscape and the degree of animal mobility. Any land identified as
suitable for wildlife movement must include enough native resources to
temporarily sustain migrating animals.

Section 17-2-11 NATIVE PLANT INVENTORY METHODOLOGIES
Any combination of at least one or more of the following three
methodologies shall be utilized to prepare a Native Plant Program for
Protected Native Plants on the project site. The applicant shall conform
with all requirements of the applicable Set Aside Methodology, Plant
Inventory Methodology or the Plant Appraisal Methodology.
A. Set Aside Methodology. The preservation and mitigation requirements
of this Section shall be satisfied by the set aside of an area of the site
as undisturbed natural desert area in conformance with the following
requirements. The provisions of this section may be combined, or used
In conjunction with the provisions of other plant protection
methodologies of this sedan. A minimum of thirty (30) percent of the
site shall be set aside in perpetuity as Natural Undisturbed Open Space
(NUOS). The NUOS set aside area shall consist of the area(s) with the
highest resource value as determined by the Site Resource Inventory
(SRI), Section 17 -1 -2. Boundaries of all NUOS set aside areas shall be
dearly delineated on an aerial photograph and site plan, development
plan, or subdivision plat and fenced for the duration of any construction
activities.
B. Plant Inventory Methodology. The Plant Inventory Methodology is
based upon a Native Plant Inventory of all Protected Native Plants
(Section 17- 2 -15). The Criteria set forth in Section 17 -2 -14 shall be
used to determine the viability and transplantabllity of Protected Native
Plants as well as to determine the numbers and locations of plants
required for preservation -in -place (PIP) or transplanted-on-site (TOS).
The minimum number of Protected Native Plants required for PIP
and/or TOS is based upon a percentage of the viable and
transplantable Protected Native Plants Inventoried on- site.
1. The minimum standards for the preservation of Protected Native
Plants in the Plant Inventory Methodology shall be satisfied as
follows:
a. Endangered Species and T4a&W Saguaros. One hundred
(100) percent of Federal Endangered Species and Crested
Saguaros shall be preserved -in -place or salvaged and
transplanted on -site.
b. Saguaros and Ironwoods. At least fifty (50) percent of all Viable
Saguaros and Ironwood trees shall be preserveddn -place or
salvaged and transplanted on -site.
c. Other Protected Native Plants. At least thirty (30) percent of
each genus and species of other Viable and Transplantable
Protected Native Plants shall be preserved -in- place or salvaged
and transplanted on -site.
C. Plant Appraisal Methodology. The preservation and mitigation
requirements of this Section shall be satisfied when the monetary
replacement value is determined for each genus and spades of
Protected Native Plant which is removed from the site, damaged, or
destroyed. The provisions of this subsection may be combined, or
used in conjunction, with other Plant Preservation Methodologies
specified in this Section.
1. Site Appraisal. A plant appraisal shall be prepared which shall
identify and state the financial value of each Protected Native Plant
which is proposed to be removed from the site, damaged, or
destroyed and shall be keyed to the Native Plant Inventory of the
Native Plant Program. The monetary value of these plants shall be
Page 8 of 39
Mx=& land Dmkpmt Code RevbW 1"I Ond=1.17
paid into an Escrow Account of the Town's choosing, to be used for
Public Works Landscaping Projects within the Town of Marana. The
plant appraisal shall be conducted by a recognized Plant
Professional according to the most current methods and procedures
accepted by the Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers.
2. Expiration of Appraisals. Appraisals shall be current within sbc (6)
months of submittal of the Native Plant Program and shall be valid
for a period of two (2) years after the Plan approval date. A revised
appraisal value shall be required for development which does not
proceed before the two (2) year time limit of the appraisal has
expired.
3. Amendment of Appraisals. Where any Protected Native Plant is
removed from the site, damaged, or destroyed and is not identified
on the appraisal prepared in conformance with the Native Plant
Program, the Protected Native Plants shall be appraised pursuant
to this section, and the appraisal shall be amended to Include all
additional Protected Native Plants removed and their financial
value.
D. Preservation and MiBgation Requirements Protected Native Plants
which are proposed to be or are removed from the site, damaged, or
destroyed during development shall be replaced by plants of the same
genus and species. The Native Plant Preservation Plan shag detail the
size and value of replacement plants to demonstrate that the monetary
value of replacement plants shall be equal to the monetary value of
each genus and spades of Protected Native. Plant which Is removed
from the site, damaged, or destroyed.
Section 17.2 -12 GENERAL PROVISIONS AND SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS.
The following General Provisions and Submittal Requirements shag apply
to the submittal of all Native Plant Programs and Native Plant Permits:
A. Submittals Required
1. The Native Plant Program shall consist of the following information.

storage and shall insure consistency with existing neighborhood
character.
B. The site plan shall be consistent with the Site Resource Inventory and
be designed to protect and incorporate significant on -site natural
amenities (i.e. unique and significant vegetation, unique and significant
rock outcroppings, significant riparian habitats and wildlife corridors,
etc.) and minimize the number of salvageable. plants which need to be
removed to allow reasonable construction on the site. These
relationships shall promote and enhance the character of the native
environment rather than contrast or domesticate It
C. A vegetation inventory and analysis shall provide a dear,
comprehensive review and listing of plant materials, their condition and
physical relationships on -site so as to aid the site planning and
determination of plant salvageability. The native plant viability and
transpiantabiiity status shall be determined for each native plant of the
minimum size and shall be used to determine the numbers and
locations of plants required for preservation. The following plant
viability and transplantability criteria shall be used:
Page 10 of 39
Mm land DmWpmmt Code Rsvired 10/01 oed.2001.17
1. Plant Viability Criteria. Plant viability Is based upon plant health,
P9 and form. Plants rated Low are not considered Viable and are
not required to be assessed according to the Transplantability
Criteria. Plants rated Medium or High are considered Viable and
shall be further assessed under the Transplantability Criteria.
a. High. A high plant viability rating shall be assigned to plants
meeting the following criteria
(1).Health: plant Is good to excellent with no major Infestations
of insects or apparent diseases.
(2).Age: plant age Is young or mature with likely chance of tong
survival.
(3). Form: plant is relatively undamaged with a healthy branching
habit
b. Medium. A medium rating shall be assigned to plants which do
not meet all of the criteria for a High rating but have sufficient
merit to warrant preservation, in the opinion of the qualified plant
Professional conducting the inventory.
c. Low. A low plant viability rating shall be given to plants meeting
any one or more of the following:
(1). Health: plant health Is poor. Generally the result of severe
infestations of pests or diseases or lack of water over time.
(2)Age. Plant Is in a state of decline, suggesting a low
probability of lengthy survival.
(3).Form: plant form and character Is severely damaged. For
trees, this may include new brandies from large, old, dead
trunks or wreak branching habit
2. Plant TransplantabRy Criteria. Plant Transplantability is based
upon plant genus and species, size, soils, context and topography.
The following five (5) categories shall be inventoried to determine
the ability to salvage the viable plants, which will not be preserved -
in- place. Plants rated Low for Transplantability should not be
considered for salvage and transplant. Plants rated Medium to High
that are not preserved -in -place should be considered for salvage
and transplant on -site or off -site.
a. High. A high rating for Transplantability shall be assigned to
Viable plants which also meet the following criteria:
(1).Genus and Species. has a high survival rate for
reestablishment after transplant.
(2). She: Overall plant dimensions are suitable for transplanting
based upon the genus and species.
(3). Sa1s: can be excavated, are cohesive, and seem capable of
supporting the rootbali system.
(4). Topography: Permits access with the appropriate equipment
needed to remove plants and their rootball systems.
(5). Context: adjacent plants do not possess a likely interference
with root systems or interfere with plant removal.
b. Medium: A medium Transplantability rating shall be assigned to
plants which do not meet all of the criteria for a High rating but
do have sufficient merit, in the opinion of the qualified plant
professional conducting the Inventory, to warrant transplanting.
c. Low: A low rating shall be assigned to plants which meet the
following criteria:
(1). Genus and Species: has a low survival rate for re-
. establishing after transplant
Page 11 of 39
Mums Led De�dop=t Code Page
10)01 ord=.17
(2). Size. overall plant dimensions are not suitable for
transplanting based upon the genus and species.
(3). SOMs: too rocky, sandy, or shallow to excavate a cohesive
rootball system.
(4). Topography.• seriously limits access to the specimen by the
appropriate equipment (i.e., steep slopes, rook barriers).
(5). Context adjacent plants interfere with removal or present
likely conflicts with the rootball system.
D. Areas of the site shall be Inventoried to estimate representative numbers of
protected native plants. Areas of the site must be inventoried by sampling
typical identifiable areas for each genus and species and estimating
representative plant numbers per square acre of the total site area. The
samples must be representative of the viable species found on site and
shall not be less than 20% of the total site. If different plant communities
(upland, riparian, valley floor, etc.) are found on one site, then a sample of
not less than 20% of each defined community, shall be Inventoried.
E. All plants which are salvaged and transplanted on -site shall be rated as-
Viable and Transplantable prior to relocation.
F. All Protected Native Plants shall be properly tagged and/or permitted in
accordance with the Federal Endangered Species Act, the Arizona Native
Plant Law, and this Article, as applicable.
G. Once the inventory by sampling is complete, then the field tagging and
protection of those plants to be preserved -in -place (PIP) or transplanted -
on -site (TOS) can take place.
H. All PIP plants must be identified on an aerial photo and fenced for
protection prior to subsequent grading of the site and construction r^�,
activities. Plants within a designated natural undisturbed open space, 9
under any method, do not require individual tagging since their boundaries
will be fenced.
I. Plants to be TOS may. be identified and included in a TOS 'pool'. A
summary report shall be prepared that Identifies all TOS plants by quantity,
genus and species. This summary shall be located on the Native Plant
Program plan and any associated Landscape Plan. The selection of
specific TOS plants may vary according to field conditions and therefore,
final selection will be made by the 'Plant Professional' and the salvage
contractor. Once the total numbers of plants to be TOS have been
identified in the field, they must be field tagged for TOS.
J. All protected native plants scheduled to remain in place (except those
scheduled to remain in place as part of a NUOS area) or authorized for
relocation by the approved Native Plant Permit must be tagged with an
embossed metal inventory number which cross references to the inventory
list and aerial photograph submitted as part of the Native Plant Program, so
that the disposition of each plant can be easily identified. Tags required by
this article shall be affixed in a visible location on the plant, preferably on
the north side of each plant, whenever possible. Once affixed, the tags
shall not be removed until the plants are removed or relocated in
compliance with the Native Plant Permit and a final inspection has been
made.
K. Ail protected native vegetation to remain in -place as part of a NUOS area
shall be adequately protected during grading and construction through
placement of a fence barrier surrounding the entire NUOS area. NUOS
plants that are to remain in -place as part of a NUOS area, do not require
tagging.

L. A• conceptual analysis and design of the site vegetation and /or landscaping
shall insure that the character of the project be consistent with the natural
density, distribution, and maturity of vegetation on adjacent properties.
M. Should the conceptual analysis and design reveal an excess supply of
on -site salvageable plants, the relocation Program shall designate
akemadve Proecs within areas of suitable habitat, in Municipal, County,
State and Federal Reclamation and Revegetation Projects In addition to
N. In order Privately owned mplementation and completion of the approved
Plans and permits, the Town will require a mutual consent agreement
between the Town and the applicant signed and guaranteed by cash or a
bond acceptable to the Town Attorney In an amount set by the Town
Manager to guarantee performance of the provisions of the mutual consent
agreement.
0. On -alts monitoring of all aspects of site clearing, grading, plant protection,
Preservation, salvage, and mitigation shall be provided during Project
construction, at the expense of the developer, for all residential
development that is over five (5) acres and for all commercial and Industrial
development that is over one (1) acre. The monitoring shall be Performed

any problems encountered. The Town shall
receive a Copy of these reports for the project file.
1. The monitor shall be responsible for an assessment of the condition of
the site's plants one (1) year after the final inspection has been
performed on the site. The monitor shall visit the site and prepare a
report on plant status, Including general plant condition, the
Identification of plants under stress and the appropriate method to
relieve the stress, and recommendations for replacement of plants that
are dead or dying. Dead or dying plants shall be replaced with the same
size plant at a one- to-one (1;1) ratio of like genus and species. Copies
of the report shall be submitted to the site owner /developer and to the
Planning Department. The owner shall respond to the plant needs as
outlined In the status report within ninety (90) days of report submittal or
within a shoter.period if required to improve the health of stressed

Section 173 -7 LANDSCAPE BUFFER STANDARDS
PURPOSE: Landscape Buffers provide the following four distinct
functions:
• Serve as landscape screens to mitigate visual impacts;
• Provide a landscape setback to reduce noise;
• Physically separate incompatible adjacent land uses; and
Provide an aesthetic transition between
uses. adjacent compatible land
• In addition, Landscape Buffers function to eliminate or minimize
Potential nuisances such as dirt, litter, noise, glans of tights, and
signs. They also visually soften and screen unsightly buildings or
Paridng areas. Landscape Buffers are also designed to ensure a
desired character along public streets and roads.
A. A Landscape Buffer may be used for passive r ecreation. It may contain
Pedestrian, bike and equestrian trails. Where appropriate, linkages
shall be encouraged within or along a Landscape Buffer as long as the
total width of the buffer is maintained, and all other regulations of the
are Wi t . Swimming pools, tennis courts, sports fields, golf
courses,
parking lots, or other uses requiring structures or removal of
vegetation shall not be permitted within a Landscape Buffer.
B. Landscape Buffers shall be located on the outer perimeter of a lot or
parcel, extending to the property or boundary lines and shall be
determined as follows:

Notes:
1. For every 3 shrubs planted, one 15 gallon tree shall be planted.
Example using Code 1: a one thousand square foot landscape buffer area would need
fifteen (15) plants: twelve (12) one gallon shrubs and four (4), fifteen (15) gallon ban.
Earth berms of a minimum size of two cubic yards (approximately 8'W x 4.51 x 1.5 may
be used In lieu of three (3) shrubs not to exceed 25% of shrubs.
2. Ground cover plants are required In addition to above plants. Ground cover equal to 20% of
the total number of trees and shrubs will be located in the landscape buffer area.

ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPE BUFFER OPTIONS
A. Landscape Butler Agreements: Property owners may enter into agreements,
subject to the approval of the Planning Director, with abutting landowners to use
adjoining land to provide some or all of a required landscape buffer. The lots s
l
and plant quantities of the landscape buffer requirements shall remain ize
as required
with this Chapter.
B. Reduction of Landscape Buffer Requirements: The landscape buffer
requirement may be reduced N a six (6) foot high decorative masonry wall is
constructed and the wall require ment Is noted on the approved subdivision plat
and landscape plan. If a wall is used as part of the landscape buffer requirement,
the calculations for plant materials shall be reduced by one -third (1/3). Any wall
used for screening purposes shall be kept dean of graffiti. Graffiti shall be
removed through cleaning or repainting, whichever is appropriate. Unpainted walls
that are painted to Dover graffiti shall be painted a color to match existing rrlaterial.
Vines or other landscape screening material may be supplemented as an
additional deterrent from graffiti. Town Personnel wiII issue aforty -eight (48) 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.
C. All Landscape Buf cans are required to be landscaped: The landscape buffers
shall contain the following minimum planting materials; six (6) - 15 gallon trees,
fifteen (15) - 1 gallon shrubs and ten (1 P) - 1 gallon ground cover / accent plants
per 1500 square feet of area. Existing natural desert may be utilized to most or
exceed these planting requirements. Where the number of existing natural desert
plants do not meet the minimum landscape buffer planting requirement of this
Section, the natural desert plants shall be supplemented with additional native
plants transplanted from on -site or from nursery plants. The applicant is
encouraged to utilize on-sfte nab" plants w[Min the landscape buffers where
possible.
D. Natural drainage ways and existing natural vegetation: Natural drainage ways
and existing natural vegetation may be used for screening If approved, In writing
by the Planning and Zoning Director, provided such uses are consistent with the
regulations contained in Title 21 of this Code. Natural drainage ways and existing
vegetation used for this purpose shall be a minimum of twenty (20) feet wide.
Section 17.3 -8 LANDSCAPING STANDARDS FOR OFF - STREET PARKING AREAS
