  20. Green Infrastructure: From Practice to Policy

  21.  Requires all new commercial development to provide 50% of Tucson landscape irrigation via rainwater Commercial harvesting. Rainwater  Unanimously approved by Mayor Harvesting and Council in 2008 Ordinance www.watershedmg.org

  22.  Requires bio- retention of first 1/2” of Tucson Green rainfall within the public right-of-way Streets Policy  Applies to all new construction of public roadways Tucson , AZ Address Address Flow Water Quality Volumes www.watershedmg.org

  29. Manage Stormwater Infiltrate, filter, store and evaporate Work with nature to manage stormwater as close to its source as possible.

  30. Beneficial Reuse Stop channeling runoff elsewhere Treat stormwater as a resource rather than a waste product.

  31. LID Added Value • Reduced stormwater runoff • Reduced flooding • Reduced pollutants • Improved aesthetics • Improved water quality • Improved groundwater recharge

  32. Fiesta District Streetscape Create a unique identifiable area Transition from six to four lanes • • (two in each direction) Pedestrian friendly • Vibrant monument entry signs • Wider sidewalks, benches, • and colored paving pedestrian lighting Low impact development • Active urban destination •

LID Retrofit Pilot Heart of downtown Mesa • Green infrastructure/low impact • development demonstration Opportunity to evaluate and provide • demonstration to city staff Curb cuts made to existing curbing • Educational workshop and installation by • volunteers Partner with Watershed Management Group, Mesa Urban Garden and • Republica Empanada

  41. LID Tool Kit Desire to reduce polluted runoff • Little to no engineering standards for low impact • development Offer variety of options for downtown areas and transit • oriented development Convert stormwater to a resource that supports the • creation of a high-quality, sustainably built environment Creation of design standards, AKA Tool Kit • Working with Logan Simpson Design •
