A plan to build a “bike ranch” on 20 acres directly across the street from Saguaro National Park East’s entrance on Old Spanish Trail has the backing of a Pima County hearing administrator.
The recommendation, which lists 17 separate conditions that must be met by the developer to build on the site, is another setback for the roughly 200 people who crowded into Pima County’s administration building last week, voicing concerns about the project.
Plans to build 49 “casitas” on the mostly undeveloped, 20-acre parcel already has the blessing of Saguaro National Park’s superintendent as well as a recommendation for approval by the county’s development staff.
