The amendment to the Oro Valley General Plan for the 9100 acres referred to as "Arroyo Grande" will be heard before the Planning Commission Tuesday, October 7th at 6 PM.

I know the generalities of the application are reasonably well known. What will be very important Tuesday are the conditions or Special Area Policies that may be added to any recommendation for adoption. The Staff communication that includes these suggested policies is available through the Planning Department at Town Hall.

The Special Area Policies is an attempt to address the many issues raised in previous public meetings. Within the Staff Communication, Attachment #2 contains all the Special Area Policies. The Commission may amend, revise or add to this list. It would be helpful if citizens interested in the Arroyo Grande amendment would obtain a copy of Attachment #2 and become familiar with it prior to the Tuesday meeting. Comments during the public hearing portion of the meeting specifically addressing the Special Area Policies will be particularly helpful.

A copy of the Staff Communication should be available for reading in the Administration Lobby. A hard copy could be obtained either from the Clerk's office or the Planning Department. The conceptual land use plan is available on the Town web site through the Planning & Zoning link.

If anyone has a question about any of the suggested Special Area Policies, and Sarah More at the Town is not available, don't hesitate to call me, and I'll do my best to clarify.
