Our mission is to protect and preserve the unique qualities of Rincon Valley while proactively facilitating informed, environmentally and culturally responsive land use planning and development throughout the community.

To achieve these goals, Rincon Valley Coalition:

• has structured its Board of Directors such that all directors are required to be residents and/or property owners within RVC boundaries. All directors are unpaid volunteers serving three-year terms, staggered to ensure continuity;
  


• has structured its Executive Committee such that all officers are required to be residents and/or property owners within RVC boundaries. All officers are unpaid volunteers serving one-year terms. With the exception of Treasurer, Officers need not be directors;
  


• has established a membership policy, providing for community representation insofar as the community itself chooses to participate;
  


• has established (and will continue to establish additional) cooperative relationships with other organizations and groups to promote scientific research, analysis, and publication regarding issues of specific importance to Rincon Valley, such as wildlife habitat and migration route preservation, aquifer (ground water) depletion, storm water runoff and soil erosion, transportation planning, et cetera;
  


• endeavors to educate:
  
  
  • the public about the impact that development can, does, and will have on Rincon Valley, and how those issues might be most effectively and cooperatively managed;
    
  
  
  • the lay community about conceptual and codified land use planning, and development and construction processes;
    
  
  
  • government, regional land use planners, and potential developers and builders about the community’s values, concerns, and expectations;


• actively engages with elected and appointed governmental officials and staff regarding issues of general or specific concern to the local community. Furthermore, RVC encourages individuals and other organizational entities to actively participate in the management of Rincon Valley via the democratic process. Land use planning and development is administered by Pima County and, as such, is ultimately representative of the highest (or lowest) standards that the community codifies and enforces;
  


• monitors and publishes proposed land use, zoning, and development activity within RVC boundaries. It is RVC’s contention that an educated and informed community is most likely to be proactive participants in community management;
  


• promotes (and, if necessary, will provide a conduit for) open communication among all concerned and interested parties.
