I have written on that in my opinion, criminal actions of the council and the planning commission in allowing the high density housing to be built in the Twin Peaks region that is zoned R-36 one acre per residence.
At the meeting a gentleman spoke on the consequences to the surrounding Pima county residences. He spoke of the fact that high density housing is causing his taxes to increase exponentially, you say how, well he makes a great point.
If you build housing as zoned, lets say on the Preserves at Twin Peaks, it would be maybe 100 families when completely built out. So you have kids from 100 families. Now you change the zoning to 200 homes on the same property you have 200 families.
So as this keeps happening the schools can not accommodate fast increase of cluster high density homes being built.... in this case 200 at Preserves at Twin Peak and Vistas at Twin Peaks 60. 260 new families in a short time, and there are others in progress and already approved in the area. in lieu of what could be built under the existing zoning, say 125 custom homes that take a longer time to sell and build giving the turnover at the schools to proceed at a normal pace.
So now we need more schools, teachers, and staff. Well the schools are funded from Pima County taxes, so everybody in the area pays for the Marana Council's greed for roofs. Now this gentleman's taxes go up again. He stated that since the high density housing and apartments at Tangerine his taxes have gone from $700.00 to $4500.00 per year.....
Well I never thought of this fact but it makes sense. More money More money More money !!!!!!!!!!
