The Marana Town Council approved the construction of up to 1,000 homes in The Villages of Tortolita in exchange for the developer covering upfront costs for improvements to the Marana freeway interchange, an extension to Adonis Road and construction of a new Tortolita freeway interchange.
The council’s approval changes the 2007 Villages of Tortolita Specific Plan to include a new condition that no building permits be issued for the 1,780 acres of land on the east side of the Interstate 10, stretching from south of Marana Road to just north of the Pinal County line, until the Tortolita interchange was constructed.
“In discussions between the developer and the town, we were trying to find a win-win situation,” said Town Attorney Frank Cassidy, at the Nov. 7 council meeting.
