PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO.84-53,
COMMERCIAL ZONING MORATORIUM
)City Manager Michael J.McNulty
briefed the Council and public on the proposed resolution,stating that
the Zoning Rewrite Committee is near the finalization of the rewrite of
the Zoning Ordinance and due to the increasing number of requests for
rezonings which will cause continuing legal controversy because of the
types of development that are permissable under our definition of CB -2
zoning,and that until a solution is reached,all applications for CB -2
rezonings not be accepted for filing or acted upon by the City.
Mr.McNulty stated that there
are six requests for CB -2 rezoning in process currently.
Mr.Keith Stachar,6301 E.
Roundup,Apache Junction,addressed the Council in opposition to the
moratorium,objecting to insufficient notice prior to this proposition.
Mr.Earl Laabs,Jr.,370 E.
12th Avenue,Apache Junction,suggested that there be a 30 day
transition period prior to a moratorium.
Mr.John Granillo,930 E.
Desert Avenue,Apache Junction,expressed sympathy for the Planning and
Zoning Commission and Council in their difficult decisions,but opposed
a moratorium.
Mr.Mike Kovacs,710 S.Lawson,
Apache Junction,opposed the proposal referring to Maricopa County
zoning practices.
Additional discussion was held
between the City Manager and Councilmembers pertaining to the reasons
for a moratorium.
Mr.Tony Vehon,230 W.Tepee
St.,Apache Junction,member of the Zoning Ordinance Rewrite Committee,
asked i f a rezoning was approved for CB -2,after zones for CB -2 were
changed,would this rezoning change?
Mr.McNulty stated that any
with these circumstances would stay as rezoned.
Councilman Damiano asked who
the protesters on the petition were.
Mr.Stachar stated that most of
the signatures were those of business people in the community.
No action was taken on the
