As required by state statute, growth areas are areas “that are particularly suitable for planned multimodal transportation and infrastructure expansion and improvements designed to support a planned concentration of a variety of uses, such as residential, office, commercial, tourism, and industrial uses.” These areas are open for a range of more intensive development.
In recognition of the growth and development of Oro Valley, a two-tier system is proposed for all growth areas. These areas are represented on the Plan’s Land Use Map and described in the drop-down menus below.
Tier 1 Growth Areas
Tier 1 Growth Areas are major commercial areas that serve the greater Oro Valley community and nearby counties and towns, and include:
Oracle Road Corridor, from Rudasill Road to the north end of Innovation Park Drive
Foothills Mall area
Arroyo Grande Village Center, Office, and Commercial areas
Tier 2 Growth Areas
Tier 2 Growth Areas are neighborhood -focused commercial areas, supported by a variety of residential areas. These areas are intended to serve the immediate needs of residents while limiting impact and include the intersections of:
First Avenue/Rancho Vistoso Boulevard and Tangerine Road
La Cañada Drive and Tangerine Road
La Cholla Boulevard and Tangerine Road
La Cañada Drive and Lambert Lane
All Growth Areas should:
Make automobiles, transit, and other types of transportation more efficient, make infrastructure expansion more economical, and provide for a sensible pattern of land development.
Conserve significant natural resources and open space areas in the growth area.
Promote the public and private construction of timely and financially sound infrastructure expansion through the use of infrastructure funding and financial planning that is coordinated with development activity.
