A fight is escalating over plans to build a bicycle-centric resort on a mostly undeveloped, 20-acre parcel across the street from Saguaro National Park East’s entrance on Old Spanish Trail.
On one side are a local husband-and-wife development team who have been trying to develop the property for the last five years.
The project has the blessing of Saguaro National Park’s superintendent, a recommendation for approval by county development staff, and does not have to undergo a lengthy rezoning process because the planned 49 “casitas” comply with existing zoning standards.
