Topics getting the most attention in Marana public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
3 issues in development with high priority
Building Permit Activity
Only 51 single-family home permits have been issued this May, compared with 92 total permits at the same point last year — a signal of slower residential construction.
Marana Main Street Development Agreement amendment
The Town agreed to pay the Main Street developer $300,000 for building Main Street and Center Street, plus $19,265.89 in shared water/irrigation costs. The roads were originally due by June 2021 but were substantially completed in July 2024 — this amendment formalizes the reimbursement based on that later date.
Cascada Community Facilities District
The first step toward a new financing district for the D.R. Horton Cascada development — the draft agreement sets a $2.80 per $100 tax rate cap and requires a letter of credit. Actual district formation would come back to the council in a couple of months.
