Plans to build 196 “luxury casitas” on undeveloped land along Sabino Canyon Road between East River and Cloud roads hit a minor snag this week when the Pima County Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the developer build only 150 homes on the site.
The recommendation made Wednesday favored many nearby homeowners who have lobbied commissioners to reject the plan or at least reduce the project’s density.
Residents told the commissioners they had several concerns about the project, including lower property values, increased traffic and noise and having enough water available.
