Pulte Homes & Civano Neighborhoods II and III

Update: Civano Neighborhoods II and III—which Pulte calls Sierra Morado—may meet the energy and related requierments of the Civano IMPACT System, but from a design and New Urbanism perspective fall well short of the standards of Civano Neighborhood I. For more information, contact Pulte Homes or read one resident's perspective at Terrain.org.

In spring 2002, Pulte Homes began pursuing the possibility of purchasing Civano Neighborhoods II and III (except commercial areas) from Fannie Mae, and fully developing those neighborhoods. From December 2002 through January 2004, Civano Neighbors held discussions with Pulte to ensure that Pulte meets the requirements of the Civano IMPACT System MOU, and are as closely aligned in design, resource efficiency, and intent of Civano Neighborhood I as possible.

Civano Neighbors Letter to Pulte Homes Regarding Inadequate Time for Community Review of Draft Master Plan and PAD Before Public Meeting

• "At our September 23 Civano Neighbors general meeting, we reached unanimous consensus on behalf of the entire neighborhood to acknowledge that, while we look forward to participating in the Pulte public meeting on September 29, there is not adequate time nor all exhibits necessary for Civano Neighbors and community members to fully review the draft master plan and planned area development prior to the meeting. Therefore, Civano Neighbors and the community will not consider the September 29 meeting a definitive public meeting on the master plan and planned area development."
