TUCSON, Ariz. — Amanda Bradley is one of more than 2,000 residents living nearby who signed a petition against the planned development.
The property owner wants to put 33 single-family homes into the area. This would look different from the large suburban ranches in the surrounding neighborhoods. It would fit more people into less space.Residents nearby are worried this would increase traffic on the already busy intersection. The proposed development would be on an existing floodplain, which usually mitigates flooding during monsoon.
Tucson’s Zoning Examiner agrees with neighbors and does not support the nature of this development. But City Staff support the planned development, with a few exceptions. They're asking the property owner to take certain steps to prevent flooding and protect the natural habitats.
