Council approves more housing in North Marana
by Kathleen B. Kunz | Tucson Local Media
The Marana Town Council approved a request to alter a major development plan on the northwest side of town, allowing flexibility for potential builders to put in more residential development rather than commercial.
During the Jan. 21 council meeting, town staff presented a land use plan called “Uptown in Marana.” It consists of 205 acres located north of Marana Road and east of Sanders Road that was entitled in 2007 to owners Rio Claro, Inc.; 515 Marana, LLC; BOA Sorte Ltd. Partnership and KLW Investments, LLLP, et. al.
The original entitlement was 80 acres of regional commercial uses (corporate and professional offices, malls, entertainment and other supporting services) and eight acres of neighborhood commercial uses (office, retail and local services).
