Tucson took a major — and potentially expensive — legal issue off its plate last week when it settled with the developers who were hoping to build a south side Sam’s Club.
Irvington Interstate Partners LLC, which had filed a $13 million claim with the city, sued last year after the City Council nixed a plan to sell the company land for the project.
The settlement does not require the city to pay any damages. It calls for the city to sell the 53-acre parcel at Interstate 19 and West Irvington Road at no less than the same $4 million price agreed to five years ago, but for a less intensive commercial development.
