Dear Supporters,
Thank you for standing with us in opposition to the rezoning and construction of Casita Village at La Mariposa. Your continued support is critical as we work to protect our community and preserve the natural beauty of this area.
As part of our campaign, we want to bring your attention to the public hearing held on the rezoning case, which you can view here: Watch the Public Hearing on YouTube. This session sheds light on the extensive issues and concerns surrounding this project, including its potential environmental, floodplain, and community impacts.
Key Issues Raised in the Hearing
- Environmental Impact: The project is within Pima County's conservation land system and an important riparian area. Concerns about inadequate open space (32.5% instead of the recommended 95%) were highlighted.
- Floodplain Challenges: Significant revisions were made to address floodplain concerns, but uncertainties remain about long-term implications.
- Community Disruption: Increased traffic, reduced open space, and alterations to the neighborhood’s character are significant worries.
Despite adjustments and reassurances from developers, this project poses substantial risks to our environment and community. It fails to align with the conservation standards outlined in Tucson’s General Plan, which aims to protect vital ecosystems and ensure sustainable development.
What You Can Do
- Watch the Hearing: Familiarize yourself with the details of the case. Watch it here.
- Share Our Petition: Spread the word to gather more signatures. Every voice counts.
- Contact Local Representatives: Let them know you oppose this rezoning and demand they prioritize environmental and community welfare over unchecked development.
- Stay Engaged: Attend future hearings or community meetings to make your voice heard.
Our Commitment
We will continue to provide updates on this petition and the status of the rezoning. Together, we can make a difference and protect our community from harmful development.
Thank you for your dedication and action in this important cause.
