The Marana Town Council unanimously voted to rezone more than 10 acres at the southwest corner of Thornydale Road and Aerie Drive for a future mixed-use development with multi-family housing and commercial businesses.
The multi-family apartments, still in the planning phases at this time, would accommodate about 211 residential units on seven acres of land. Two acres of the remaining property have the potential for more residential housing or commercial development, while one acre has been dedicated to Pima County to construct an extension of The Loop shared-use path along the northern bank of the Cañada del Oro Wash, according to council documents.
The plan was created by I.T. Investments Three LLC, in partnership with The Planning Center, a planning and architecture firm. Named the “Alexander Specific Plan,” this development would integrate walking, biking and other alternative transportation options with the adjacent walking path and nearby restaurants and businesses.
