Oro Valley council voted unanimously on March 20 to direct staff to clean up ambiguous language relating to the town’s Environmentally Sensitive Lands (ESL) regulations.
The item was suggested for further examination by councilmembers Brendan Burns and Mary Snider following an application for a General Plan Amendment on the 110-acre parcel of Desert Springs, located on the east side of Tangerine and Oracle roads, adjacent to Catalina State Park.
In a December meeting, council voted for a continuance on the plan amendment, which, among other changes, would have allowed an increase in residential density in an area popular with wildlife and natural resources.
