c. Clipping and pruning of the plant material are required to allow maximum shading while preserving surveillance opportunities and preventing obstructive overhang into walks, curb areas, drives, and line of sight triangles. For general guidelines on height clearance of tree canopies, refer to Sec. 2-06.3.6.D, Sec. 2-06.3.6.E, Sec. 2-06.3.6.F, and Sec. 2-06.3.7.D.

Trail Requirements:

The draft Pima Regional Trail System includes a framework of significant trail corridors that include the Santa Cruz, Rillito, and Pantano River Parks, the Houghton Road Greenway, and the Julian Wash Greenway. These five interconnected corridors are at the heart of the regional trail system and form a continuous "Loop" surrounding the City of Tucson's central core. The vast majority of trails within the Pima Regional Trail System connect either directly or indirectly to the "Loop." Each of the five trail corridors that form the "Loop" include shared use pathways. The Santa Cruz, Rillito, and Pantano River parks include shared use pathways on one or both sides of the river, as well as encourage equestrian use and hiking along the bottom of those drainages.


Pantano River Park (RP002)
The 18-mile Pantano River Park is located on the east side of the metropolitan area. The Pantano River Park corridor begins at the northern end of the Cienega Creek Preserve and terminates at its confluence with the Rillito River and the Tanque Verde Wash. At the south end of the Pantano corridor, a geographic feature called the Pantano Bluffs,
located on the west bank, represents a significant challenge for River Park siting. A number of significant drainages and erosion cuts in this area will need to be addressed to implement the River Park.


Implementation
Developers whose projects encompass or abut the various elements included in this plan shall provide the right-of-way, as necessary, to implement them, consistent with expressed standards. Certain elements along roadways may be partially accommodated in the existing public right-of-way, if sufficient right-of-way exists. However, if sufficient public right-of-way does not exist, or if staff determines the final product will not provide the desired quality of experience, the developer shall provide additional right-of-way to achieve the desired minimum corridor widths as set forth in the design standards section of this plan.

Developers constructing residential or commercial projects that abut one of the features of the system will be required to provide a corridor for and/or construct the subject feature. Projects located in proximity to a corridor (i.e. within one mile) will be required to contribute to the development of that (or those) system elements.

River Park Design
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Corridor Width. The minimum corridor width for River Parks is 100 feet on both river banks. However, additional space is recommended wherever possible to help enhance the quality and impact of the river park system, reduce the urban heat island effect, and allow for the restoration of the wildlife habit that once existed along the edges of the community's major watercourses.

Encroachment. New development shall not encroach into River Park corridors. Dedication. New development adjacent to River Park corridors shall dedicate the 100-foot minimum corridor on their side of the river (or both if applicable) and construct the amenities consistent with this plan.

Design Integration. Urban design that integrates residential and commercial projects into the River Park corridor is welcome and shall be strongly encouraged. Development should not "turn its back" on River Parks, thereby creating an unsightly and undesirable condition of loading docks and dumpsters in view of the River Parks.

Combined Public Corridor. Where opportunities occur to add publicly-owned property adjacent to River Parks, such as paralleling right-of-way or public park, these lands should be combined in to one large public corridor. Connectivity. Enhance connectivity to community features, such as parks, schools, commercial centers, offices, and neighborhoods by supplementing the recommendations of this plan and provide additional linked routes and connections to the River Park system.

Edge Porosity. The concept of "porosity" shall be integrated into River Park design, with many opportunities to enter and exit the corridor. This will enhance safety, convenience, and connectivity.

Bridges. Bridges should be as fl at as possible so as not to block sight lines and enhance user safety.

Underpasses. Wherever possible, separate equestrian underpasses under bridges should be provided for safety reasons.

Landscape. Landscaping shall be native and water harvesting techniques should be integrated wherever possible.

Respite Areas. Provide respite areas with seat walls, plazas, and other design features at logical locations along River Parks. Compliment amenities at entry nodes and trailhead.

Corridor Width- 100 feet minimum, both river banks
Path/Trail- Path and trail corridor on both sides of river
Vertical Clearance- 12-foot minimum
Side Clearance- Three feet high by three feet wide each side of trail and four-foot shoulder of path for vegetation or obstacles 24 inches from nearest pipe rails
Clearance to Thorny Plants- Minimum ten feet
Clearance to Trees- Minimum six feet (provide minimum ten-foot clearance between trees and sewer lines)
Signs-Wayfinding, directional, and interpretive

See P. 63 of the Pima Regional Trails System for the trail construction cross-section.
