Description: This term refers to historic properties that meet the criteria for and have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. An individually eligible property derives its significance from one or more of the following aspects of American history: (A) Association with historic events or activities, (B) Association with an important person in history, (C) Distinctive design or physical character, or (D) Potential to provide important information about prehistory or history. An individually listed property also maintains enough of its original qualities that make it significant. These qualities of integrity include: location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association.
Description: Created in part using existing TDOT Streetlight location information supplemented with field inspections for pole attributes. Additional historic and replica streetlights were plotted using aerial photos.Includes original cast-iron streetlight poles, fiberglass and aluminum reproduction poles, and other streetlights identified as contributors to National Register of Historic Places districts.Maintenance: To be updated periodically when projects affect historic streetlights or reproductions.

Description: Using a field taken from the Pima County Assessor's Office records for parcels in the Tucson city limits, this layer APPROXIMATES a property's date of construction, color-coded by time periods, based on assessments. (Former methods used by the Assessor's Office to record construction activity on a property involved adjusting the ACTUAL year built and replacing it the a year calculated using a specific formula.) ACTUAL DATE OF CONSTRUCTION, where available, is a better figure for determining age of historic buildings. It is a field included in the Building Footprints & Info layer and in the formal historic documentation.
Description: This layer is based on information from Pima County Assessor's Office for every parcel within the Tucson city limits. It provides every street number recorded for each property.
Description: paregion displays all parcels in Pima County.
Known Errors/Qualifications: paregion contains duplicate taxcodes for parcels, i.e. undeveloped subdivisions in which all lots are assigned the same taxcode, until the lots are developed. Further, a relatively small number of other parcels have more than one polygon per parcel resulting in duplicate taxcodes. Subdivision common areas are typical examples. Parcels with duplicate taxcodes in paregion duplicate parcel valuation data. Summing valuations for these duplicated taxcode parcels from paregion will result in inflated totals. Users should normalize their analysis results based on the frequency of duplicate taxcodes. Some areas that are not assigned a tax code by the Assessor are "void" areas, having no attributes. Void roadway areas that "bleed" beyond the county border are the most common case. They include a major portion of county street areas. The coverage format will always have these "void" areas due to the nature of the coverage format. These areas are not in our library's paregion shapefile format.

Maintenance Description: Steve Whitney's processing assembles the section DWG drawing data daily and creates the coverage in the library. Special paregion processing (ParcelToShape) makes the library shapefile from the coverage, deleting all areas with blank (null) parcel codes, resulting in true voids where there are no parcels, such as most right-of-way. The coverage format always has the interior "island" areas due to the nature of the coverage format.

Description: Zoning overlays created by a 1972 ordinance designate 6 HPZs and the downtown area, requiring compliance with specific design guidelines and Secretary of Interior Standards for building alterations and new construction. Reviews of proposed building plans involve HPZ Advisory Boards, the Historical Commission, and the City's Planning Director.

Description: This layer provides boundaries for the districts that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The National Register Historic Districts are a voluntary designation and, by themselves, do not have any regulatory effect.
Description: Also known as a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ/HPZ), an HPZ is a city-designated historic district composed of a group of buildings (either an entire neighborhood or part of a neighborhood) that are related to one another historically, architecturally, and/or culturally. All development and improvements that affect the exterior of structures within the HPZ, even those that do not require building permits, are subject to design review and in some cases historic review may involve separate reviews by the local advisory board, the Tucson-Pima County Historical Commission, and City staff, with final action by the Planning Director or Mayor and Council. The various review processes are intended to preserve the archaeological, historical, architectural, and landscape architectural characteristics of existing sites, structures, and districts in order to preserve property values and enhance the character of historic neighborhoods.
Description: This layer covers the archaeological Priority Cultural Resources within the City limits identified in the Pima County Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan. All city projects or projects by others in the City right-of-ways MUST have a professional archaeologist present to monitor any digging in an Archaeological Sensitivity Zone, and to notify the City Historic Preservation Office (which is sometimes able to give a waiver, depending on the nature of the subsurface impacts of the project). If a project within City right-of-way falls within an Archaeological Sensitivity Zone then language is inserted on the permit indicating the requirement for archaeological monitoring and notification to the City Historic Preservation Office.
