One of the simplest ways to conserve electricity is by choosing more energy-efficient lighting options, including changing from standard incandescent bulbs to Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFLs), or even light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that are just becoming available for consumer purchase. CFLs combine the best of traditional fluorescent tubes common in commercial buildings—long life span and relatively low energy usage—into a small bulb that fits standard light fixtures. LEDs are a series of tiny electronic light bulbs that, when placed next to each other, emit as much or much more light than a similar-size standard light bulb, does not burn out all at once, and use only a fraction of the electricity.
Please note that compact fluorescent lights, as well as fluorescent tubes, contain small amounts of mercury. Please visit the Household Hazardous Waste page for more information on proper disposal options for these types of bulbs. Light bulbs are not accepted for recycling in curbside recycling bins or at neighborhood recycling center sites. Tucson Clean & Beautiful encourages changeover to new CFLs or LEDs as old incandescent bulbs burn out, to prevent the unnecessary disposal of older, still-functional light bulbs. Newer LED bulbs, while not containing mercury, are considered an electronic item and should also be taken to the Household Hazardous Waste program. Traditional incandescent lights that are no longer working may be placed in your regular trash collection container. For more information, call 791-5000.
Instead of using paper towels, consider using a linen service for your business. These businesses supply bar and shop towels, uniforms, and other services.
The following organizations buy, sell, rent or accept donations of reusable medical equipment. Please contact the listed organizations for more information about accepted and available items.
Accepts donations of empty pill bottles without personal information, as well as small plastic film canisters and other similarly sized containers. These types of bottles and containers are reused to dispense personal hygeine products to homeless families in Tucson. Clothing, household appliances and furniture are also accepted for use in transitional housing and emergency services programs.

Programs & Projects : Urban Planning & Design, Tucson
Apply for plan amendment?
Tucson's mountains and foothills are valuable scenic resources which should be preserved. Dominant peaks and ridges should be protected in order to preserve the city's unique visual setting, promote its economic well-being, and encourage tourism. Regulating the intensity of development according to the natural characteristics of hillside terrain, such as degree of slope, significant vegetation and landforms, and soil stability and existing drainage patterns, will allow for development in hillside areas while minimizing the physical impacts of such development.
2.8.1.2 Purpose. This zone provides for the reasonable use of hillside areas and related lands while protecting the public health, safety, and general welfare by:
G. Promoting cost-efficient public services by encouraging development on the less steeply sloped terrain, thereby minimizing service extensions and utility costs and maximizing access for all necessary life safety services.
A. Protected Peak and Ridge Areas. Any lot or parcel containing protected peak and ridge areas designated for protection by the Mayor and Council, as shown on the City Zoning Maps.
2. The HDZ regulations do not apply to vacant residentially-zoned lots or parcels, legally created as of September 15, 1980, and containing an area of sixteen thousand (16,000) square feet or less, unless, after July 19, 1989, the lot or parcel is divided into two (2) or more parcels or used for other than one (1) single-family dwelling.
3. The Hillside Development Zone (HDZ) regulations do not apply to lots or parcels annexed from Pima County which were exempt from the Pima County HDZ at the time of annexation, unless the lot or parcel is divided into two (2) or more parcels or used for other than one (1) single-family dwelling.
4. The density restrictions of Sec. 2.8.1.6 do not apply to any lot or parcel which was zoned R-1, R-2, R-3, or R-4 and located within the city limits prior to December 10, 1979, unless the lot or parcel is divided into two (2) or more parcels or used for other than one (1) single-family dwelling.
E. Designation, amendment, or change of boundaries for a Hillside Development Zone, a Protected Peak or Ridge.
1. Designation. The Mayor and Council may designate new property as subject to this Hillside Development Zone or a new peak or ridge for protection by the establishment of a three hundred (300) foot setback. Consideration shall be in accordance with the Zoning Examiner Legislative Procedure, Sec. 5.4.1 and Sec. 5.4.3. The change to an existing designation, amendment to or change of the boundaries of an existing HDZ area shall be through the same process.
2. Criteria for Designation. Peaks or ridges or new HDZ areas designated for protection must:
B. Other Development. Proposed development projects, other than subdivisions, require submittal of a plan complying with the requirements of this Section and Development Standard 9-01.0 for review in accordance with the DSD – Full Notice Procedure, Sec. 23A-50 and 23A-51.
1. Existing Lot or Parcel Where No Land Division Occurs. The average natural cross-slope (ACS) is calculated for the entire lot or parcel. If the ACS is fifteen (15) percent or greater, Columns A, B, and D of Table 2.8.1-I apply. If the minimum land area required for the lot or parcel, based on the ACS, is greater than the area of the lot or parcel, natural areas may be designated on the lot or parcel, in accordance with Sec. 2.8.1.7, to reduce the ACS percentage. Such designated natural areas will be excluded from the ACS calculation but will be included in the land area for the lot or parcel. (See Illustration 2.8.1.6.)
2. Existing Lot or Parcel Where Land Division Occurs. The average natural cross-slope is calculated for the entire lot or parcel. If the ACS is fifteen (15) percent or greater, Columns A and C of Table 2.8.1-I apply. Natural areas may be designated on the lot or parcel in accordance with Sec. 2.8.1.7 to reduce the ACS percentage. Such natural areas will be excluded from the ACS calculation but will be included in the land area for the lot or parcel. (See Illustration 2.8.1.6.)
1. For any proposed lot within the parcel where the areas of fifteen (15) percent or greater slope are located outside the buildable area, the minimum lot size requirements of the underlying zone apply. The buildable area may be redefined to exclude areas of steeper slope in order to comply with this requirement. Grading may occur only within the buildable area and access to the buildable area. Grading for access may cross a delineated sloped area.
2. For any proposed lot within the parcel where the buildable area contains areas of fifteen (15) percent or greater slope, the minimum size required for that lot is one (1) acre unless a greater size is required by the underlying zone. The amount of grading permitted is indicated in Column D of Table 2.8.1-I, based on the area of the lot, Column B.
3. Yard setbacks for the applicable zone are applied to the entire parcel or to each lot within the parcel if the parcel is divided into lots.
1. The ACS is calculated for the entire lot or parcel. If the ACS is fifteen (15) percent or greater, Columns A, B, C, and D of Table 2.8.1-I apply.
2. Natural areas may be designated on the lot or parcel, in accordance with Sec. 2.8.1.7, to reduce the ACS percentage. Such natural areas will be excluded from the ACS calculation but will be included for the density calculation. (See Illustration 2.8.1.6.)
2. The cluster provision application may be used for either single-family or multifamily development. In order to apply the cluster option, the ACS of the area to be developed must be less than fifteen (15) percent. This may require excluding steeper slopes as natural areas in order to reduce the ACS of the remaining portion. Such natural areas will be excluded from the ACS calculation but will be included for density calculation.

Silverbell Update
The Silverbell Homes is the first part of this exciting project to complete construction. The City of Tucson contracted with Tofel Construction to build the twenty-eight fully accessible public housing town homes. Two more affordable rental town homes will also be built. This new community will be interspersed amongst 109 new market rate and 8 affordable homeownership single-family units developed by Pathway Developments, Inc. creating a new mixed income development.
Financing for the Silverbell public housing and affordable units is funded with a combination of HOPE VI funds, HOME funds, land sale proceeds, and Low Income Housing Tax Credits issued by the Arizona Department of Housing. Metropolitan Housing Corporation, a non-profit local agency formed to preserve low income housing, has partnered with the City of Tucson, the developer, and MMA as financial investor. The City of Tucson sold the 31-acre subdivision to Pathways and retained ownership of the 30 lots for the public housing and rental homes
• Above the new garage, the City of Tucson will construct a new residential building for use and operation as public housing for the elderly and or disabled. This building will be named the Martin Luther King Building. These sixty-eight one-bedroom units will all be fully accessible. The building will include community spaces and amenities.

Tucson Clean & Beautiful - Reduce-Reuse-Recycle Environmental Directory: Recycling & Reuse
Tucson Clean & Beautiful programs made possible in cooperation with government and corporate sponsors, an array of partnering community agencies, members & donors, volunteers, and most importantly, YOU! Thank you for helping to improve our environment and quality of life!
If you aren't buying recycled or reused products, you aren't truly recycling. Purchasing recycled items helps close the loop in the recycling process. Businesses that make products from recycled content need support. As more people buy recycled products, prices continue to go down, and more companies are able to offer products with recycled content. Look for the words "Post-consumer content" on packages. This means that the product or its packaging was made from materials that people recycled, not just scrap items at a manufacturing facility (which generally get recycled anyway).
The Freecycle Network is a free online service for people who want to give something away or receive something. Visit The Freecycle Network for more details and to sign up for one or more lists around the Tucson-Pima County metropolitan area!

Mosquitoes, West Nile Virus, and You
If there is mosquito activity in your neighborhood, then a habitat is nearby. Check your property for any standing water: flowerpots, wheelbarrows, scattered bowls or dishes, old tires, swamp coolers not in service, etc. Share this information with your neighbors when visiting or at your association meetings. Remember to check your neighborhood's vacant properties, because cluttered yards and vacant pools are ideal sources for standing water.
Tucson and Pima County residents have resources to "Fight The Bite." Call the West Nile Virus Hot Line at 243-7999 for mosquito control tips, mosquito complaints, or to report standing water. Call 792-CITY (2489) to report weeds or vegetation exceeding 6" in height on properties within city limits. Go online to the following web pages for more tips and information:
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention @ www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/westnile/index.htm
Green, unattended swimming pools provide locations for mosquito populations to thrive, increasing the chances that the West Nile virus can be transmitted to humans.
“We are especially concerned with pools on vacant properties,” said Andrea Ibanez, Deputy Director, City Department of Neighborhood Resources. “More homes are for sale because of market conditions. Rental vacancy rates have risen. Conditions are right for unattended pools to become a health problem in our community.”
State Testing Mosquitoes For West Nile Virus; City And County Begin Local Preparation Efforts (April 3)
“Mosquitoes do not totally go away when it's winter here,” said Lisa Hulette, Program Manager for the Health Department’s Epidemiology Program. “Spikes of warmer weather and moisture are just enough to allow some to develop. It's important that we start early with our preparedness and education efforts."
Web pages now available for residents to get information include.
Residents can call the West Nile Virus Hot Line at 243-7999 for mosquito complaints, mosquito control tips, or to report standing water.
Maricopa County Confirms First Human Case of West Nile Virus in the U.S. for 2008 (March 26)
“Our first confirmed case so early in the season could mean a busier season than in past years,” said John Power, director of Maricopa County Department of Environmental Services. “This case also serves as a reminder that it’s that time again to take a look around your homes and make sure there is no standing water where mosquitoes can breed.”
Symptoms may include fever, headache, body aches, nausea, vomiting, swollen lymph glands, and skin rash on the chest, stomach and back. A small percentage of people who are infected with WNV will experience severe symptoms, such as meningitis, encephalitis, paralysis, and even death. People over the age of 50 are generally at a higher risk for severe symptoms. If a person thinks he or she has WNV symptoms, he or she should consult their health care provider.
Health officials say Valley residents should be aware that although the majority of people who become infected with the virus will show no symptoms at all, for a small percentage of people it can be serious or even fatal.
For more information on West Nile virus, public health assistance, as well as for WNV dead bird drop-off locations, to report green pools or file any mosquito related complaint, and for WNV materials or presentations for your group/organization, call (602) 506-0700 or visit www.WestNileAZ.org or www.maricopa.gov/wnv.

A Passion for Designing Bollards
Posted on February 29th, 2008 by admin in Business | No Comments »
Ralph is obviously a happy man today. No, he hasnā€™t won a lottery ticket or found himself a new vivacious ladyfriend. He has simply discovered a vocation that he enjoys more than any sport, and which has rewarded him with something vital, a meaning and purpose to his life. So, what enthuses dear Ralph so much? His newfound talent at creating artistic designs for concrete bollards.
For the uninitiated, bollard refers to a strong post, architecturally employed for various purposes. Concrete bollards have of late acquired a preeminent and even essential slot in most planned construction activity, be it public, commercial or residential. Bollards are characteristically made of concrete and employed for both safety as well as beauty on sidewalks, parking lots, parks, and other public places in cities. Concrete bollards lend a sense of harmony and consistency in defining spaces stylishly. Bollards remind the visitors that they are secure and in an environment that is well defined and maintained.
The concrete bollards can be strategically located so as to control the access of vehicles, or to provide structure to vehicular movement in public spaces. Besides, concrete bollards provide an adequate protection system for fragile infrastructures. They also offer stout and resilient protection of outdoor spaces in office buildings, parking lots, and other facilities from explosives such as car bombs, while ensuring streamlined movement of pedestrian traffic.
Concrete bollards are increasingly being used in private homes. Besides involving a protective dimension, outdoor bollards also acutely enhance the aesthetic value of a residence, especially when used on walkways. The best types of bollards require nearly zero maintenance and are naturally attractive and sturdy. Indoor bollards, used as planters, fulfill the twin purpose of protecting oneā€™s space while boosting the appearance with plants and flowers!
With the eager joy of a young bird just learnt to fly, Ralph pitched into his bollard design work. Every moment rewarded him with a new insight into the umpteen exciting aspects of his invigorating vocation. Every problem encountered in bollard design was a fresh opportunity to learn something of value. Every challenge was merely an opportunity to prove his adequacy for his newfound passion. Ralph worked with a perfectionistā€™s attitude and an infectious gusto, an exhilarating joy at being able to transfuse his visions onto concrete bollard, to perceive vague blueprints that he had hitherto merely tentatively glimpsed in his mindā€™s eye alone emerge manifested as delightful architectural concrete bollard designs. Ralph would have frowned at his work being described as that; to him it was play, rather, an engrossing blend of art, poetry, music and architecture.
Ralph has now acquired a stable mooring for his erstwhile wayward life, along with a more sophisticated way of looking at life itself, one that seeks and discerns the aesthetic and beautiful in life, beyond the mundane facade of everyday life.
