After receiving the final petition signatures required, Oro Valley’s town limits will be expanded to include 107 acres of unincorporated land northwest of Oracle and Ina roads.
On March 21, 2012 the town filed the necessary paperwork with the Pima County Recorder’s Office to begin annexation efforts in the area, which includes Ina Road to the south, Paseo del Norte to the west, Chapala Drive to the north, and Oracle Road to the east.
The annexation area is made up of 11 commercial and 11 residential parcels.
According to Town Manager Greg Caton, the town had to receive support from 50 percent of property owners, representing more than 50 percent of the assessed valuation of real and personal property.
Final signatures by Quality Inn and Tohono Chul Park secured those prerequisites.
The town also acquired sufficient residential signatures, with seven of the 11 residential parcels supporting annexation.
