The City of Tucson Mayor and Council approved the Escalera Planned Area Development (PAD) this past Tuesday, located at the southwest corner of East Valencia Road and South Houghton Road, near the new Rocking K MPC. Encompassing approximately 344.3 acres, the Property was annexed into the City in 1985 and was given a translational zoning of RX-1.
A change in zoning from RX-1 to PAD was requested as part of this proposal, led by Pulte Homes, Linda Morales of The Planning Center and Engineer / Architect Kei Lazarus Silvyn of Lazarus, Silvyn and Bangs.
The Escalera PAD will establish a framework that effectively blends a variety of housing types and employment-generating commercial uses in an area that is flourishing with new residential and commercial development, improved infrastructure and connectivity to the greater Tucson metro area, and a top-performing school district.
