proposal,or any amendments thereto,be circulated for at least sixty (60)
days to certain stated groups,and the proposed amendments were distributed
on September 14,1983 as required,the sixty (60)day review period having
expired on November 14,1983;and
WHEREAS,the text of the document entitled,"Apache Junction:
2001,Apache Junction,Arizona,General Plan"proposes amendments as follows:
P.2-44 Add to top completing paragraph.
Where low density land use areas are surrounded by other high
land use densities,the one acre minimum shall not apply.
Further,where there i s an existing low density zoning district
that contains lots of which the minimum lot size i s less than
the one acre minimum,any such former zoning district classifi-
cation in affect at the time of adoption of any amendment to
the land use plan may set the minimum low density lot size.
P.2-44 Add paragraph above top complete paragraph.
A number of residential neighborhood areas have been,and are
being developed by conventional methods of housing construction.
Residents of these areas have expressed a desire to continue
this practice to the City Council,Planning and Zoning Commission,
and staff.Therefore,zoning districts which limit residential
home construction to conventional methods should only be approved
by the City Council i n areas designated for "conventional
construction."
P.2-45 Insert in paragraph that reads:
"The commercial land uses are set forth on Figure L-7.There are
a number of commercial opportunity areas.Although these areas
may have another main land use designation,such as residential,
the 'opportunity area'designation indicates that,generally,the
possibility of commercial uses should be favorably considered."
I t is the intention to also allow adjacent land use designations
as an option to the commercial areas."However,i t should be
generally encouraged that in order for commercial rezonings to
be approved,they be by Planned Development.This would regulate:
1.The amount of commercially zoned property within the City.
2.The transition between different uses by knowing the planned
use or uses.
3.The on -site design through Planned Development review process.
4.The location of traffic ingress -egress points,thereby reducing
the potential for safety hazards to occur."
