The following article is from the Dec. 3 Explorer. This contentious issue has been "on again-off again numerous times.
Rancho Vistoso changes
Vistoso Partners, owners of significant portions of Rancho Vistoso, has requested a general plan amendment affecting its holdings in neighborhood 5, an area near the middle of Rancho Vistoso.
The changes would affect about 126 acres. The total housing units allowed would remain the same at 275 and would actually lower the total amount of houses in the entirety of neighborhood 5 by 1,000. If approved, the total allowable number of houses in the 1,555-acre area would be 2,500.
The changes requested include moving a proposed school site the developer and Amphitheater Unified School District have an agreement for, and retaining a proposed golf course.
The changes also would increase the acreage dedicated to open space once developed by 19 acres.
The proposal has been delayed numerous times since first proposed in February 2008. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval for the general plan amendment.
