In a 4-3 vote, the Oro Valley Town Council rejected a proposed rezoning of the Kai-Capri area from commercial use to multi-family residential use during their council meeting on Jan. 6.Â
Vice Mayor Melanie Barrett and council members Joyce Jones-Ivy, Josh Nicolson and Tim Bohen voted not to approve a Type-1 General Plan amendment to the Kai-Capri Special Area Policies that would change a 13.44 acre parcel near First Avenue and Tangerine Road from C-1 commercial use to R-6 multi-family residential use.Â
The amendment would have also increased the number of permitted residential dwellings from 255 to 394 units within the existing parcel already designated for neighborhood/commercial/office use.
