Principles for 2050 Tucson EcoDistrict Vision Self-Sustaining 14

The district will be able to meet all energy and water demands by renewable means and food production will be re-localized. Water and energy play a large role within an EcoDistrict’s success, therefore inclusinve and efficient usage will be implemented within the urban design. Goals include: Net Zero Energy, Net Zero Water, maximized local food production.

Connection to Place Revitalization of Downtown Tucson will occur through re-connecting to nature and cultural place. Historic buildings and landmarks will anchor the EcoDistrict back to its roots while new built platforms will have a meaningful connection to site and culture. Goals include: Habitat restoration, living infrastructure, biophilia within buildings.

Density and Walkability Smart growth will densify Downtown Tucson and enable greater community connectivity. Human centered design will ensure the urban environment is developed for the needs of its inhabitants. Focus in urban design for the EcoDistrict allows the integration of all modes of transportation. Goals include: walkability, proximity to services, bike-ability.


Community Cohesion Equity and diversity will be supported through mixed-use and mixed-income development offering an inclusive range of housing options and different scales in businesses. The development of mixed-use construction provides an EcoDistrict the opportunity to remain self-sustained with easy access. Goals include: Diversity, equity, mixed-use development, mix-income development.

Adaptability Development will occur with an understanding that the urban realm is ever evolving. Innovation and new technology will be embraced for enhanced efficiency and greater quality of life. The idea of progression and growth will remain present throughout. Adaptability in landscape, building, and design will be integrated within the EcoDistrict. Goals include: Resilient infrastructure, smart city platform.

Health and Prosperity A healthy community depends on a healthy economy. Local entrepreneurship and cultural assets will be leveraged. Diversity in economy will allow emerging entrepreneurship opportunities to develop in addition to neighborhood-scale health care. Goals include: Diverse economy, entrepreneurship opportunities.

Built Environments

Energy and Carbon

Transportation (motor-less)

Energy is produced by renewable and non renewable sources to provide lighting, heating, cooling, and all other electrical functions to the city. Carbon emissions are released into the atmosphere through the use of fossil fuels and other non renewable energy sources.

Non-motorized transportation refers to bicycle and pedestrian activity in the downtown area. Elements consist of bike lanes, sidewalks, pedestrian-only roads, and any associated green infrastructure.

Water

Transportation (motorized)

The sum of natural and built systems which collect, transport, recycle, and output water in the form of rainfall, storm water, potable water, sanitary sewage, reclaimed water, and gray water.

Modes of transportation make a city sustainable by providing access to amenities available within a certain travel distance. In Tucson, a vehicle is the primary mode of transportation.

Housing House is the types of enclosed structures that people can stay inside with spending time and rest. It requires connected city utility infrastructure to provide necessary utilities to keep people safe and comfort.


Social Environments

Economic Environments

Art + Culture + Education

Small Scale Economic

This is composed of various spaces that serve for entertainment and learning experiences. The art and cultural buildings are where people are able to gather together and experience new or local music, artwork, and many different crafts.

Businesses with fewer than fifty employees and are not government, cultural, or health affiliated fall into this category. Clinics, theaters, and court houses are a few examples.

Historic

Large Scale Economic

Encompasses both prehistoric and historic archaeological sites and/or the built environment. Historic resources include historic sites, buildings, structures, landmarks, objects, districts, and landscapes.

The large scale economics category describes any buildings that have approximately fifty or more employees working at any given time. Some examples of these “large economic businesses� would be high-rise office headquarters and hotels.

Open Spaces

Public Health

Parks, Plazas, and Open Spaces characterize this division. The few downtown parks are in need of vast overhaul before they are able to provide recreation and services for all ages and demographics. Increasing contiguous urban habitat through green corridors and restoring ecosystem services is also important to downtown development success.

Promotes and protects the health of people and the communities where they live, work , and play. Includes advisories, community outreach, rehabilitation, resources, education, and research. Sets safety standards to protect citizens.

General Definitions Adaptive Reuse

The process of adapting old structures for new purposes

28

Brown Fields

Abandoned or idled, industrial and commercial facilities/sites where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination in urban, suburban, or rural areas.

Carbon Footprint

Describes the total amount of greenhouse gases that are emitted as a result of the actions of an individual, a city, or any other unit. A carbon footprint is a function of all the energy used by an individual, business, event, or community for heating and cooling, appliances, vehicles , and embedded energy in everything purchased and consumed.

Carbon Neutrality

Refers to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by balancing the amount of greenhouse gases released by a community with an equivalent amount that is either sequestered or offset. Also known as net-zero carbon footprint

Cultural Resources

Archaeological, traditional, and built environment resources, including but not necessarily limited to buildings, structures, objects, districts, and sites.

Energy Positive

Refers to a building that produces more energy than it consumes, resulting in a net reduction in the systems greenhouse gases accomplished through the sale of that “excess� renewable energy as credits or offsets to other greenhouse gas emitters.

Green Infrastructure

Strategically planned and managed networks of natural lands, working landscapes, urban vegetation, and open space that conserve ecosystems, manage stormwater, reduce flood risks, improve water quality and provide recreational, aesthetic and health benefits to people.

Historic Preservation Zones

City of Tucson zoning overlays created by a 1972 ordinance for certain designated National Register of Historic Places districts that require compliance with specific development standards and design guidelines for exterior alterations to existing historic and non-historic buildings and for new construction, including work that does not require a building permit.

Municipal Planning Area

A future municipal boundary that goes beyond current corporate limits, and includes existing urban development in unincorporated areas for strategic planning. It also includes underutilized land in unincorporated areas where future growth may occur. Establishing this boundary allows a jurisdiction to carry out extra-territorial planning, showing how the undeveloped area should develop, and how infrastructure and services should be extended.


Net Positive

Producing more energy than is needed by a building or system, and exporting this to other systems or feeding the extra energy produced to the grid.

Resource Recovery

Collecting and separating of certain waste materials for processing into new forms which are ultimately sold as raw materials for new products.

Urban Renewal Net Zero

The total amount of energy used by the building on an annual basis is roughly equal to the amount of renewable energy created on the site or by renewable sources elsewhere.

Public Infrastructure

The collection of roads, bridges, rail lines, and similar public works required for an industrial economy, or a portion of it, to function.

Renewable Energy Technologies Technologies that produce sustainable, clean energy from sources such as the sun, wind, plants, and water.

Resilient or Resiliency

The capacity of a system, community, or society potentially exposed to hazards to adapt by resisting or changing in order to reach and maintain an acceptable level of functioning and structure. This is determined by the degree to which the social system is capable of organizing itself to increase its capacity for learning from past disasters for better future protection and to improve risk reduction measures.

The rehabilitation of city areas by renovating or replacing dilapidated buildings with new housing, public buildings, parks, roadways, industrial areas, etc., often in accordance with comprehensive plans.

Water Positive

Water independence, is defined as meeting one hundred percent of a project’s water need through onsite capture, reuse, or other closed loop systems and managing more than one hundred percent of a project’s storm water and water discharge though a close looped system or treatment and infiltration for ecological benefit.

Water Neutrality

Refers to an equilibrium where the total amount of potable water used by a community equals to the amount of potable water created within a community, without impacting the environment. Rain water collection and treatment and sustainable managed wells are possible sources. On site water capture and reuse, increasing permeability of the ground plane, and landscapes designed for storm water management water are all potential sinks. 100% of storm water must be managed within the community boundary.

History Through the diverse amount of Native, Spanish, and American settlers, a wide range of demographics is present in Tucson’s history. This mix of various cultures continued throughout the history of Tucson due to trade and mining industries, the introduction of railroads, and the University of Arizona. It is due to the richness of culture found within Tucson that has allowed for historic landmarks and districts to be crucial to the Downtown Tucson atmosphere. Although what is considered historic, is ever changing, history and historic landmarks have always been an element of celebration for the city. Although historic districts have been altered or eliminated in the past when the City of Tucson was expanding, the attitude towards historic preservation has greatly grown. Through this new enthusiasm, historic landmarks are now being preserved and renovated to help recapture the rich history of Tucson’s culture and architectural influences.

The earliest inhabitants of the Tucson area and its surrounding are descendants of Tohono O’odhan from around 450 A.D. The Hohokam, a group descending from the O’odhann are the more widely known tribe that still exists today towards the south of Tucson. In the Tucson downtown area the first pioneers selected there in the 1700’s, but it is not until the 1900’s where most of the growth is seen. Some of the first cultural establishments are churches and schools, followed by libraries, cultural centers, museums, and theater spaces. 6, 7, 12, 19, 26

History The development of medical care in the Tucson area was initiated by the settling of Father Kino and several missionaries around the Santa Cruz River. The first hosiptal, Saint Mary’s Hositpal and Sanatorium, was founded in 1880 by the Sisters of Saint Joseph Carondelet. By the beginning of the 1900s, Tucson was beginning to develop a reputation for being a healthy area or resort town. Citizens from the United States started to move away from cold weather and early settlement to Tucson, a place with sunshine and healing.

This health movement has developed Tucson as a central place for medical care and research. Throughout the 1900s, people moved to Tucson to heal after the war, recieve tuburcoloisis treatment, and recieve polio treatments. The rich history of public health and safety in Tucson has developed this city as a internationally recongized place for health care.

Tucson Housing Tucson had a lot of desert houses with Mexican, and Native American style houses. As time goes, the style of houses keeps changed slightly to adopt new style but keeping Tucson’s color. Therefore, Tucson tried to preserve a lot of historic houses to maintain Tucson’s color. Over time, the energy efficiency is increased, but the exterior of houses are remaining as historic style.

History Cattle Ranching was first introduced in 1873 which caused extreme changes in the environment. Both large and small time businesses dealing with cattle came to Arizona. In 1885, with the assistance of the Railroad, mining copper and then silver became very popular, attracting a lot of business. The town Tombstone, which was a large mining city, was used as a backdrop for “Western� films.

After World War II, Technological business became more common. These businesses included the production of vehicles, airplanes, computers, etc. Some of the small scale businesses, of which lasted, have become large scale. Retail, Food, and Services unique to Tucson have popped up and disappeared through the ages.

Throughout the ages of Tucson, due to the ranching, the mining, film and culture, a lot of tourism took place. 11


Mapping the Past Large Scale Economics Tucson Growth Tucson downtown began to grow in the late 60’s and through the early eighties. The growth was mostly in government jobs and some retail. Most of the buildings completed in the seventies and eighties provided a distinct look to the Tucson metropolitan area. The architectural style evolved from a mix of heavy brutalist and art deco designs. This style began to inform many of the highrises which would follow.

64

Tourism and Consumerism Historically, Tucson has seen a great deal of business from tourism. However, the downtown area has never been the primary target of such tourism, due to its government job focus and limited entertainment options. The construction of the Tucson Community Center in 1971, though controversial for its destruction of several low income communities, provided a civic center for hosting many events. One large event that creates a large influx of consumers, and as a consequence, economic profit to surrounding businesses is the Gem and Mineral Show. Events such as these have been critical in shaping the downtown economic conditions.

Tucson Power and Employment Almost all of Tucson’s power is provided by the Tucson Electric Power Company. They have been a large employer in Tucson, due to the mining of coal and other fossil fuels to gain energy. In the future, this practice may not be tolerated, so they may evolve with the sustainable Tucson ideology and move toward solar and other energy sources. Many of plan Tucson’s goals focus on trying to increase high tech jobs and provide facilities to do so. This will be an outlet when looking forward for Tucson’s power and future employment.

Ronstadt Station Designed by Fentress Architects, the Ronstadt Transit Center takes up 600,000 square feet in downtown Tucson, The project was completed in 1991 and is described by the architects as “a colonnaded arbor that wraps around two sides of this dynamic civic space, lined with shaded seating and arched entries.” Working with the University of Arizona, two 50-foot cooling towers were developed to combat Tucson’s summer heat. 20,000 ceramic tiles made by a local artist surround the structure of the project. “Located in Tucson’s historic arts district, Ronstadt was instrumental to the neighborhood’s revitalization and has become a destination for festivals and community events.

Greyhound Originally on Stone Ave. between Congress and Broadway, Greyhound station was then relocated. Its current location on Congress street was supposed to only be a temporary site, but has remained there for over 10 years. The new landlord for the station will be Rio Nuevo and the design is still in process.

Past History The development of open space is Tucson is highly dependent upon the water resources available throughout the city. Historic developments in the area were made by missionaries along the Santa Cruz river in search for land to build a community. Current open space consists of a mixture of small to large size sites. There is very little current urban agriculture and a large portion of open space is wasted on vacant or unprogrammed sites. Community initiates are starting to re-purpose these sites and created places for recreation and engagement.

Mapping the Past Energy and Carbon

1999

The city of Tucson began actively installing solar panels on existing roof space around the city in an effort to produce clean renewable energy.

2005

There is a total of around three hundred solar panels installed in downtown area. Solar panels were extremely expensive and much less efficient than they are today. These issues limited the rate at which the government pursued this large task.

2008

Since 2008, the government has reduced their greenhouse gas emissions by 6% with a 32% increase in building efficiency, 29% less emission from employees commuting to work, and a 28% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions from fleet vehicles.

2014

The street car became active making it easier for people to take public transportation to downtown, and conserving resources.


71

Entertainment + Cultural Residential Mixed-use + Civil Civic Residential Government Commercial Commercial 50 Solar Panels Vacant

Past Statistics Historically and still today people do not view it as a wise investment to spend money now that we will not see paybacks for until 7 years later. Many buildings downtown, and modes of transportation are not equipped to function on a lower power supply. This is new and these older technologies need to be updated to make a sustainable future. In the last 25 years the population in Tucson has increased by 100,000 adding many more commuting cars to I-10 every morning. The carbon emissions are hard to control because the variables re always changing.

Current Observations “I don’t really see any evidence of renewable energy being produced or used in downtown other than a few solar panels here and there.” -Saltanat Zhumagulova “The addition of the street car gives a non-carbon energy transportation option as long as the energy production method is also clean.” -Alex Chavez 1, 18

The Santa Cruz is a perennial stream filled with beaver damns and surrounded by lagoons, riparian forest, and little springs. Even in dry times, digging three feet into the river bed would yield water.

The Santa Cruz irrigates numerous agricultural plots via acequias, community-operated water channels.

The private Tucson Water Company builds two 20-ft wells. Later, a perforated pipe is laid in the Santa Cruz river bed for six additional wells.

The first sewage farm in Tucson is built 18 miles south of Tucson.

Tucson Water becomes a municipal utility.

Mule teams haul water to Fort Lowell.

Private water companies like Rincon Water sell water by truck. (Rincon water was from the mountains, and had less of a taste than Santa Cruz water).

Water is brought from the river in hide or canvas bags on the backs of burros to be sold in town for 5 cents a bucket by agua vendors. The water is stored in earthen ollas, which are stored in breezewways to keep the water cool.
