The Copper Point Development project will not proceed as originally proposed. Your commitment to this cause ensured the interests of our community were protected throughout the process. We must remain vigilant to ensure that future planning aligns with the needs of our schools and neighborhood infrastructure.

Urgent Action Needed - by Citizens of Sahuarita
The Copper Point Development project, a new housing project located between 1-19 HWY and Pima Mine Road by North Rancho (across from the Casino), can be brought to a vote on MAY 1, 2017 at the planning and zoning meeting. This developer will then start building quickly. This development is not part of Rancho Sahuarita development!
The proposed Copper Point Development is not a good fit for our town. Following the April 3, 2017 public meeting, here are the updates:
1. Schools - 420 estimated new students - enough students to just about fill a new school! Our schools are already busting at the seams! We work hard to pay for the ones we have. The developer is not offering us land or enough money for a new school. The developer presented to the SUSD Governing Board on April 26th at 6pm and they had many questions about the project including if there was land for a new school and assistance with building a school. They are offering at most -$796,000 or $1,000 per house (not per kid). The last school Sahuarita built had an estimated cost of $20 million.
2. Property values - The developer proposes mixed use and multifamily dwellings like duplexes.
3. Lack of Parks - 900+ new homes with 3 small parks and 3 acre park with a possible lap pool and maybe a splash pad. They are not offering to put in soccer, baseball or other fields that our town desperately needs. Without a concrete promise for adequate amenities we know others use our amenities, but this additional strain on our amenities will add to more maintenance and upkeep cost, which is passed on to the residents.
4. Traffic to roads - The only connecting street into this area will be through Camino Rancheria and another entrance at Pima Mine Road, closer to the casino. We are concerned with traffic congestion at Santa Cruz North Park and the possibility of increased crime because of easy on/off access to the freeway.
Thank you to everyone who came and to those who spoke. All are still encouraged to attend the next Public Hearing on:
MONDAY, MAY 1 at 6PM at the SAHUARITA SCHOOL DISTRICT AUDITORIUM Pod B, 350 W. Sahuarita Road, Sahuarita, AZ 85629.

If they paid for a new school and HOA dues like the rest of us to use our parks. They should also have to follow the HOA rules to make sure their properties are maintained. I am really against the medium density (apartment like buildings). All the residences should be single family homes at least.
This does not seem like a good fit for the space, cramming that many new homes/apartments into that small area. The entrance and exit options will also make Pima Mine Road even more congested and dangerous
Without a much more significant contribution from the developer of CopperPoint, our already burgeoning schools, roads and amenities within Rancho, will be overburdened. The paltry contribution he is offering is not sufficient to bolster the infrastructure for this many new residents.
How do the water rights affect the water table that all of Rancho Sahuarita depends on? Just because they may have obtained water rights does not mean there is enough water to support the increase in population. This is a critical limiting factor to building that needs to be seriously studied.
I do not want the added strain to the schools, we just passed for a new school to be built to lessen the strain of the current students not to add another 500+ students. Traffic is already difficult during rush hour times and it will only make things more difficult throughout.
I vote no to Copper Point, our streets are already over crowded.
We do not need high density housing in a well established family neighborhood.

I live at 15212 S. Avenida Rancho Largo and am opposed to this development. I believe it will be too great of a strain on our current amenities and infrastructure. Additionally, I believe that apartments could reduce our property values.
