Marana sucks

Town of Marana SUCKS Unfriendly to homeowners

We  purchased a home in a rural area of Marana to enjoy the pristine desert. I reviewed the zoning around the property and it was one home on one acre. This was acceptable so I spent almost 3/4 of a million dollars on my home. The area was equine friendly and has small ranches, sand side roads and low traffic.

During the housing crash, much of the open land was purchased by land developers at bargain prices. No problem it is zoned one acre per house right......  WRONG. A new four lane high way was cut through the desert and the TOWN wants roofs to pay the way to a larger government.

Now right near my house the town has allowed 250 homes to be built on 6000 sf lots. CLUSTER high density low cost housing in an area of pristine Sonora desert. It will be bulldozed and two story cluster homes built on top of each other, EVERY adjoining neighbor opposed the zoning change. We spoke at several meetings and the Commissioners did not care about anything we had to say, We pleaded to leave it as is zoned and as they advertised it on their website.

The developers purchased the land knowing the zoning was one acre per home, now they wanted to change the zoning to gain huge profits and the town agreed. They spoke as if they worked for the developer. Absolutely no concern for the home  owners who have committed hundreds of thousands of dollars to live in a rural area.. a the town plan and the zoning laws showed.

Oh they let us speak for three minutes and many did, all in opposition except one and he lived a long way from the development in the city of Tucson, still do not know what that was about......

If you are thinking of moving, please do not consider the town of Marana, they only care for developers and money for the town to become a Phoenix like community...... stacked on top of each other.

The do not observe the zoning they set or the low density housing they set for an area... they will change the game after the fact at the drop of a pin for a developer with money.... screw the people already there that relied on their zoning maps.....

If I could get what I paid for my house I would leave in a second !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Marana Town Government are criminals in my opinion.. as they have stolen value of my investment with their zoning changes for developers.....

God save the USA
