By Ernesto Portillo Jr

 

The Sahuarita Town Council Monday unanimously approved a general plan that could lead to the development and annexation of 15,000 homes west of the town in an area that includes open space, active mines and worried rural residents.  In addition to the 4,200-acre general plan, the council approved seven other major plan amendments that could lead to a total annexation of 25 square miles to the town's current 31 square miles.
