| Encourage (re)development in already populated areas in a way that doesn’t negatively impact existing neighborhoods and improves the aesthetics and character of the built environment |
| |
| | "Encourage more diversity in the built environment." |
| | "It is disheartening to see so many "crackerjack" tract homes built on bladed-over pristine desert when there is so much infill land still to use." |
| | "Develop the 4th avenue/University area more." |
| | "Form-based code - design based. Design standards are needed or Tucson's uniqueness will be limited." |
| | "This is a beautiful city with beautiful people. It hurts me personally to see so many run-down buildings along major streets -- like Speedway, Grant, etc. Our city needs to go on a major beautification project. We need improved signs on businesses, better landscaping. Zoning (Speedway) years ago was bad. I'm not sure how that can change, but it sure would be nice to get a bunch of money to improve how our city looks! My husband resisted moving here for a long time because he thought it looked "junky". Is this our strategy for keeping others out???" |
| | "I'm in real estate and have development experience and look forward to improving Tucson's run-down neighborhoods and creating change, but the City needs to create more incentive and get rid of the obstacles to encourage more redevelopment." |
| | "I want to live in a city that understands the value of aesthetics to people's attitudes. Tucson could be amazing if the land planning and architecture even attempted to mirror its natural beauty." |
| | "Tucson can create a charming downtown core and outlying areas can develop similar mini cores where people can congregate for recreation, shopping etc. There is no evidence of such planning in the development of these areas, in spite of what Rio Nuevo was supposed to be, since it did not happen. Creativity needs to be applied to this town, and it should be a requirement." |
| | "Ban all development away from downtown or central Tucson." |
| | "There should be a limit as to how high people can build. At night when I'm enjoying the stars from my home in the foothills, it's irritating to see lights from homes up the side of the Catalinas when the rest of the area is dark." |
| | "Develop a stricter interpretation of R-1 zoning, or give some teeth to NPZ guidelines." |
| | "There are pockets of old buildings and junk collections that present an eyesore to me and travelers coming through Tucson on 1-10 and immediately off of I-10 and onto I-19. Our downtown and the immediate adjacent areas should reflect the culture of of this area. Whatever happened to Rio Nuevo?" |
| | "Encourage redevelopment in the city. Too much effort is spent trying to preserve decaying neighborhoods. Some are worth saving and others are not. The vision needs to be broader than the limited neighborhood view." |
