What is the Town of Tanque Verde?

We need ideas on future bike lanes as part of a town transportation plan.  Anyone with opinions, please contact us. 

 An engineering company has submitted a request for a rezoning at 8800 E. Jacaranda Way to change 11.3 acres from SR (1 home/3.3 acres) to RX-2 (8.7 homes/1 acre). They are also requesting an amendment to the Bear Canyon Neighborhood Plan to allow for this zoning change. 

We have requested voter information for all registered voters in our proposed boundaries.  As of December 28th, there are 15639 registered voters in the potential town.  11578 of those voters vote by mail.

  We got final information from AZ Dept of Revenue and Department of Transportation in late November.  

• Typical year: Estimated by DOR and DOT is $10.8M 
• No tax increase

• We are planning to ask for the City Council to support our request for incorporations
• Meetings with council members begin in early January

 There will be a second Public Hearing Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2023, 5:30 pm, on application for rezoning of 11.6 acres at the Northeast corner of Tanque Verde and Houghton Roads to build 33 homes. This will be a public hearing and will allow public testimony.  Details to follow.

We have started on a very rough plan.  Anyone interested in helping contact us. 

Pima County is working on it plan for the future.  The County wants more control over water aquifers

Tucson is asking for input on its water 2100 plan.  Since we are not in the city, we are not being asked  https://tucsononewater.com/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery

The Tanque Verde Unified School District will lose $2.6 million in current year funding if the Arizona Legislature does not pass a resolution allowing school districts to exceed the aggregate expenditure limit.      These are funds that have already been allocated, not new money, hence the urgency .   The cut would be over 16% of each district’s individual budget.  The expenditure limit is left over from 1980.

 You can help by contacting your local legislators.
