The Oro Valley Neighborhood Meeting held on January 15, 2025, focused on the proposed General Plan Amendment (GPA) and rezone for the Oracle/Hardy area. Residents expressed significant concerns regarding the potential impact of new developments on their long-standing neighborhoods.

One resident, who has lived in the area for 30 years, voiced fears about the changes that the proposed development could bring to the community's serenity. This sentiment was echoed by others who attended the meeting, highlighting a strong attachment to the existing neighborhood environment.

The meeting featured a presentation by Bridal Underwood, a representative of the developer, who outlined the plans for the area. While the specifics of the development were discussed, many residents remained apprehensive about how these changes would affect their quality of life and the character of the neighborhood.

As the discussions progressed, it became clear that the community is seeking more information and clarity on the proposed changes. The meeting served as a platform for residents to voice their concerns and seek reassurance about the future of their neighborhood.

The outcome of this meeting will likely influence the next steps in the development process, as community feedback is an essential component of local planning decisions. The Oro Valley government is expected to consider these concerns as they move forward with the GPA and rezone proposals.
