Preserve Vistoso, a group of Rancho Vistoso residents, explains, in a recent press release, a simplified way to send comment to the The Town of Oro Valley on a proposed general plan amendment that would convert the Vistoso Golf Course to residential use. That way is a website.
Preserve Vistoso created the web site because they "...are opposed to Romspen's application to change the Oro Valley General Plan and rezone the former Vistoso Golf Course." As reported previously, the only way that residents can opine on this proposal at the moment is remotely, either by sending the town a comment on the plan or by calling the town.
The Preserve Vistoso web site makes this process easy
"When you go to http://preservevistosoaz.org, you will be asked to enter your name, email, address, town, state and zip code. All messages will be sent to the Town as part of the official comment phase of the rezoning process. There also are options to send your comments to Town Council members and the Town Manager."
They "encourage you to write your concerns and questions in your own words, but we also have listed questions and comments frequently mentioned by members under the scripts drop down area. Preserve Vistoso also will be updating the scripts next week to reflect feedback from our members."
Preserve Vistoso believes that, though, this is not a good substitute for in-person meetings, it is an opportunity for residents to voice their preference.
Want residential or a "preserve"?
The land is privately owned. It is zoned for recreational use. The landowners goal is to build homes and a retirement facility. Thus, the submission of this general plan amendment. The Preserve Vistoso goal is "...to save the former golf course as a nature preserve and community trail."
