- Summary .
Chairman Rodman opened the public hearing.
Lynn Romero, Oro Valley resident, commented that her property is adjacent to Verde
Catalina Town Homes. If the Verde Catalina Town Homes are allowed a 30 foot
extension it will encroach her property. Ms. Romero stated she would need a variance
� for a storage unit on her property. She is�opposed if the Zoning would allow an
expansion abutting her property.
Mr. Arellano responded that the zoning would not permit expansions beyond the current
property boundaries. � � �
Chairman Rodman closed the public hearing.
Jim Seppala, Verde Catalina Townhomes Rezoning Chairman, representing the
applicant, commented that the Verde Catalina townhomes were built under Pima �
County and later annexed into Oro Valley. Oro Valley zoning does not reflect the
existing townhome development on the property, which consists of less than 4,000
� square foot townhome lots. Some of the residents of Verde Catalina Townhomes have
asked for a variance and received them. The residents as well as Mr. Seppala is asking
the Commission for approval. .
Commissioner Barrett asked Mr. Seppala if the proposed Planned Area Development,
allows residents the control that is needed to prevent the variances.
