Oro Valley Town Council,
am writing in opposition to the proposed amendment to the general plan future land use from
commerce/office part to medium density residential for the 15 -acre property located at the northwest
corner of Rancho Vistoso Boulevard and Vistoso Commerce Loop. I have opposed this change in the
past and continue to oppose the proposed change.
At the conclusion of the last set of meetings regarding the same/similar request for change in fall 2017
the town of Oro Valley stated that the results of the town's study was that the need for commercial
property in Oro Valley was a priority and this parcel of land was to remain commerce/office park. There
is commercial property directly across from the proposed Vistoso Commerce Loop entrance — a
crematorium. Commercial property continues along that side of the street in both directions.
Commercial property continues on the same side of the street on both sides of 15 -acre property. This
property should remain commercial. Commercial property is generally occupied for 12-14 hours of a
business day versus 24 hours a day with homes and the multiple vehicle per home vehicular traffic. The
exit on to Vlsotso Viallge Drive will negatively impact all of us who currently live in the Vistso Vistas
developments. Traffic making a left turn off Vistoso Village Drive onto Rancho Vistoso Boulevard will be
backed up and there will be competition from the vehicles attempting to exit that development onto
Vistoso Village Drive. Leave the property zoned commercial.
Sincerely,
Kathryn A. Di Pierro
