Pinal County amending the GR Zoning
District requirements. Clearly lots
r A & C were lawfully split while under
County Zoning jurisdiction.
8. Mr. Jessamine noted that the public hearing was closed on
February 21, 1980. To hold another public
hearing would require readvertising. However,
a substantial number from the neighborhood are
interested in the case as shown by their
attendance here. The Board would therefore,
entertain questions about what has been stated
(Several minor points were clarified as to dates
as previously expressed.)
He then asked in view of the new information if
there were persons who felt they had substantial
information to present to warrant the Board
advertising for another public hearing. (None
was noted.)
