Black Mountain and prominent hillsides throughout the Town serve as a valuable intrinsic resource for community residents, businesses and visitors. For purposes of this regulation, prominent features include slopes of twenty percent (20%) and greater, ridgelines, boulder outcroppings, and significant stands of protected plants. These features contribute to the Town’s identity and help define Carefree’s sense of place. While these landforms offer a desirable setting to view the valley floor, they also require unique development standards due to the rigorous mountainside terrain and sensitive upper Sonoran Desert environment.
