A. If previous corridor planning has determined that a location report is required, the criteria of Section 10.56.060 shall apply. If a location report is not required, project design shall proceed with a design concept report as outlined in Section 10.56.065 and environmental assessment and mitigation report as outlined in Section 10.56.070.
B. A location report is a recommended final right-of-way alignment based on a comparative study of all reasonable alternative right-of-way alignments. The location report shall include a general overview of anticipated environmental impacts for each alignment. The location report shall contain the information specified in the Pima County Roadway Design Manual .
C. A location report is appropriate where (1) the proposed project is a new roadway on a new alignment, (2) the proposed roadway has virtually no existing right-of-way, or (3) there are significant alignment choices to be made between the identified project termination points. A location report is not appropriate where (1) the established or existing right-of-way is not of adequate width in accordance with the Major Streets and Scenic Routes Plan, (2) the alignment variations are contiguous with the existing road right-of-way and location, (3) additional right-of-way is needed only to accommodate minor alignment alterations or intersection widening.
D. After the location report is completed, the Board of Supervisors shall hold a public hearing to determine the final right-of-way alignment. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Board of Supervisors may approve any of the alternative alignments studied in the location report, may order the preparation of a new location report, or may order that the project be terminated or delayed.
