Compatibility Issue Identification and Evaluation
The methodology for the development of Pinal County JLUS compatibility issues
consisted of a comprehensive and inclusive discovery process to identify key stakeholder
issues associated with the compatibility factors. During the beginning phase of the
project, a week‐long stakeholder interview process took place where representatives
from various stakeholder groups were interviewed to discuss the JLUS process and
identify any compatibility issues they felt were either existing or anticipated in the future.
Additional compatibility issues were identified through meetings with the JLUS Policy
Committee (PC) and Technical Working Group (TWG), at public workshops, and through
technical evaluation and related experience by the project consultant. Opportunities for
additional stakeholder input were provided through the project website at
www.PinalJLUS.com.
Ultimately, an extensive number of opportunities were provided for the public, local and
regional stakeholders, the JLUS committees, and the AZARNG to provide input. This
resulted in identifying key existing and potential future compatibility issues that had the
potential to impact the safety and growth of the community within the JLUS Project Area
and/or the AZARNG’s missions.
The development of strategies for addressing compatibility issues (see Chapter 6:
Implementation Plan) was both directly and indirectly affected by the evaluation process.
The Implementation Plan identifies the responsible party(ies) tasked with completing
each strategy with timeframes for completion.
When reviewing resulting assessment information provided in this study, it is important
to note the following:
The intent is to provide enough information for stakeholders to be sufficiently
aware of and knowledgeable of issues at hand and potential mitigation strategies
to develop specific and viable JLUS recommendations. The discussion was not
designed or intended to be utilized as an exhaustive technical evaluation of
existing and/or future conditions within the JLUS Project Area.
Of the 25 compatibility factors considered, seven were determined to be
inapplicable to the Pinal County JLUS based on stakeholder/public input and
team member background research indicating there are no issues relating to
those factors. The seven inapplicable factors are:
Air Quality
Anti‐Terrorism/Force Protection
Changing Climate
