Due to the distance between Queen Creek’s town limits and Rittenhouse Training Site,
the zoning ordinance is not currently able to address compatibility in terms of land uses
adjacent to the AZARNG site. If the town annexes land closer to Rittenhouse Training Site
in the future, there may be an opportunity to protect the installation through zoning.
Subdivision Ordinance
Queen Creek’s Subdivision Ordinance was most recently updated in October 2008 to
provide for the orderly growth and harmonious development of the city, ensure safe and
multi‐modal transportation circulation, and maintain a high quality of life for the
residents. As noted, Rittenhouse Training Site is outside of the town limits of Queen
Creek, so subdivision regulations would not assist in protecting the site at the current
time.

Town of Marana
The majority of the Town of Marana is located in Pima County, but a small portion of the
town and a larger portion of the Municipal Planning Area extend into Pinal County.
Silverbell Army Heliport is located within Marana’s MPA. While documents such as the
zoning ordinance and subdivision ordinance only apply to land within the town limits and
thus do not currently play a role in compatible development next to Silverbell Army
Heliport, the General Plan can be used to address the land surrounding the AZARNG site.
