OF THE CITY OF APACHE JUNCTION, PINAL COUNTY,ARIZONA,AMENDING THE APACHE
JUNCTION, ARIZONA,ZONING ORDINANCE BY AMENDING THE ZONING MAP CHANGING THE

RESIDENCE TO TH/PD TRAILER HOMESITE BY PLANNED DEVELOPMENT;REPEALING ANY
CONFLICTING PROVISIONS;PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY;AND PROVIDING PENALTIES,
BE ANDuHEREBY IS DENIED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
THE REASONS FOR THIS DECISION IS THAT PLANNED DEVELOPMENT MAY NOT BE APPROVED
UNLESS THE PUBLIC RECORD SHOWS THAT THE PROPOSAL WOULD COMPLY WITH ALL SIX
CRITERIA AS SET FORTH UNDER SECTION 33.09 GENERAL CRITERIA AS FOUND IN THE
ZONING ORDINANCE, ANALYZING THE REQUIRED GENERAL CRITERIA IN SUBSECTION 2
OF SAID SECTION 33.09.WE HAVE SEEN FROM PUBLIC COMMENT THAT THE DEVELOPED
AREA IS CONVENTIONALLY CONSTRUCTED SINGLE FAMILY HOMES IN SUBDIVISIONS.
FURTHERMORE, ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO OBLIGATION TO NECESSARILY FOLLOW PREVIOUSLY
STATED INTENTIONS,THERE WERE APPARENTLY STATEMENTS TO DEVELOP THE REST OF
THE AREA AS CONVENTIONAL SINGLE FAMILY SUBDIVISIONS. THIS APPEARS TO BE
FURTHER SUPPORTED BY PREVIOUS ACTION TAKEN BY PINAL COUNTY TO REZONE THE
WEST HALF OF SECTION 30 TO TRAILER HOMESITE IN PINAL COUNTY COMMISSION
INITIATIVE CASE NO.11 AND TO REZONE THE EAST HALF OF SECTION 30 TO CR-3
SINGLE RESIDENCE ZONE IN PINAL COUNTY COMMISSION INITIATIVE CASE NO.12.
Mayor Clarke made the following statement:
"The Council members had a difficult time in making a decision in this case
and,unfortunately,there will be more cases of this nature in the nearfuture.
The Groundwater Management Law of 1980 has forced property owners and
developers to use the only available means to realize a reasonable value
of their land.
The problem we face today is not with the land owner. I t is not with the
developer.I t is not with the Planning and Zoning Commission.I t isdirectly with Arizona Water Company.
If Arizona Water Company would sign the contract with the Arizona Department
of Water Resources today,subdivision approval could be granted to any
developer and/or land owner tomorrow.
The McMillan case has brought this issue to the attention of a lot ofcitizens.
The City of Apache Junction has been working towards a solution of the
water problem and subdivision question for a long time.New efforts are
underway now with local and state officials.
I ask that all citizens give their support to help us resolve the water
issue.
Until we accomplish a solution,cases such as this shall continue to
confront all of us,causing more unrest,more misunderstandings,and more
stumbling blocks to the development of Apache Junction.
We all need to work together in promoting the image and the positive growth
of our proud city."
Mayor Clarke recessed the meeting.
Mayor Clarke reconvened the meeting at 7:42 p.m.
