After Pinal County supervisors expressed skepticism about a proposal for a new moderate-to-low-density subdivision near Florence, the agent requested a continuance to design a project with a better chance of passage.
Board of Supervisors Chairman Mike Goodman, R-San Tan Valley, whose district the subdivision would be in, objected to the loss of commercial property along Hunt Highway specified in the county’s Comprehensive Plan. The developer is planning an open-space buffer instead.
“We keep pulling away from commercial in an area that needs it drastically,” Goodman said at the Wednesday meeting. He and Supervisor Pete Rios, D-Dudleyville, said they were also reluctant to see more sewage bound for the troubled Section 11 wastewater plant in Magic Ranch.
