What is a Protected Peak and can I build on my property which has a protected peak located on it?

Grading or development is not permitted within a horizontal radius of one hundred and fifty feet (150′) of the protected peak or ridge. See Pima County Code, section 18.61.100 for index to maps or visit the HDZ or Planning section of the Development Services Department in the Public Works Center – 201 N.
