OVCN Twin Peaks rezone

A builder on Desert Falcon, he cited native-plant preservation counts (293 saguaros, 178 ironwoods), claimed the sports fields violate single-primary-use zoning, and argued field lighting can't comply with the town's dark-sky code.

A realtor and Desert Falcon resident, she argued the project's lighting would far exceed the allowed lumens, and warned of noise, traffic, and parking overflow onto their dirt road until 10 p.m.

Questioned whether a 40-foot gym height is really needed and said the quiet, dark character of Desert Falcon is why she lives there; noted Oro Valley rejected a similar plan.

Asked the council to deny the rezone, detailing the church's failed Oro Valley attempt and urging the town to hold the project to the same compatibility standard.

Said the town loses tax revenue from 24-25 homes it could have had, warned of left-turn backups onto Twin Peaks, and cited light pollution and noise.

Wanted gates to keep cut-through traffic off the neighborhood street, doubted the 40-foot height is needed, and noted other parks already exist in the area.

Noted the church fought this in Oro Valley since 2021, said the proposal still looks vague, and asked the council to deny the rezone and study it further.

Urged approval, saying it's their land and the 10-foot fight is silly, and asked the council to weigh benefits to future residents and kids not yet in the room.

Of the Coalition for Sonoran Desert Protection, she asked for a smaller footprint and reconfigured parking to reduce the project's impact on the landscape.
