Approximately 30 acres of vacant land located south of Pima Farms Road and east of Interstate 10 are waiting to be developed into single-family residences, but a number of factors stand in the way.
The land sits within unincorporated Pima County, and real estate executive Eric Cheney wants it annexed into the Town of Marana before rezoning and developing. According to Mayor Ed Honea, the Marana Town Council has considered this parcel for annexation twice before, but were not convinced it was beneficial to the town.
Cheney, through a company called ACM Ventures LLC, proposes a residential subdivision of 120 single-family detached homes, which would equal about four homes per acre. The Make Marana 2040 General Plan designated this land for employment uses, but also allowed other uses such as residential.
