Neighborhood Preservation Zone

The Rincon Heights Neighborhood Association and Pie Allen Neighborhood Association are working jointly to establish a Neighborhood Preservation Zone (NPZ) that will help to protect the integrity of these unique neighborhoods. The explicit goals of establishing such a zone are:
  • Encouraging Diversity
  • Designing Safe Space
  • Creating Green Space
  • Maintain Historic and Cultural Fabric
  • Support Space to Encourage Informal Interaction and Walkability

An NPZ is a special type of rezoning, defined in the City of Tucson's development code. Properties within the zone are held to a design standard and undergo an additional design review when seeking building permits. This additional review helps guide public facing changes to the neighborhood. Information about an NPZ works and how it affects property owners is available on the City of Tucson website.

You can also read the draft design manual that will help guide development in the Rincon Heights and Pie Allen neighborhoods here. PLEASE NOTE that, at the time this page is last modified (4/6/22), this is still a draft, living document.

DRAFT DESIGN MANUAL

To help property owners within the zone understand how this change could affect them, the neighborhood is hosting two upcoming events.
