Yesterday we discussed the first of two items on the Oro Valley Planning and Zoning Commission agenda for this evening. The second item on the agenda is a general plan amendment regarding Desert Springs. We provided you with details about this Desert Spring project in August.
The general plan amendment is one of many things that needs to happen for the Developer to get what they want. Essentially, the developer wants to put apartments and commercial units on the property changing it from low-density residential; and eliminating the golf course that is part of the plan at the moment.
This amendment is the first step in the entitlement process for this property. Following the amendment to the General Plan, the property is anticipated to be annexed into the Town of Oro Valley and likely at the same time, a Planned Area Development (PAD) would be prepared and processed to rezone this property for the intended uses.

The most important aspects of this proposal concern the impact of this change on the abutting neighbors: Talante Estates and Catalina State Park. According to the town staff report, neighbor concerns are being mitigated.
Hopefully, the neighbors will show up to this, the first of two Planning and Zoning Commission hearings.
