How is preserving open spaces incorporated into the Pinal Comprehensive Plan?
Throughout this process, the protection of open spaces was the top goal of our citizens. To meet that goal, the County amended the Comprehensive Plan last year to include a new Open Space and Trails Plan. That Plan shows large swaths of mountainous land set aside as open space as well as regional parks, wildlife corridors and trails throughout the County. The new Draft Plan strengthens this commitment by making open space an essential part of the overall land use planning effort.
