Having lived in the area for over 50 years, I am sorely disappointed in the re-structuring of Cave
Creek over the years. We are losing the ambience, views and peace and quiet we had. I believe we
all moved out here because of the views and acreage we had to enjoy. But, now the goal of the town
seems to be, lets build everywhere and make tax money. This is not what Cave Creek was meant to
be!
Please take a step back and remember why we are here.
Listen to the people that live here!!!! Why don't we have a say in what happens around us? Are you
here to help yourself to all you can get and forgetting the people you are here to serve?
More people appose this rezoning so why do you continue to take our life style away from us?!?
Thanks for listening - Now think about it

Dear Mr. Schlimm,
I have lived at 5029 E Tanglewood Circle, Cave Creek, AZ 85331, since 2009. The changes that have taken place over the last 10
years have been very detrimental and intrusive to our community and the quaint town of Cave Creek. This needs to stop. Not only is
Cave Creek one of the best RURAL areas to live, people come from all over America and the world to see and spend time in this
historical frontier town. The further commercialization takes away from what Cave Creek is famous for, why people come here to
live and what visitors come to see. Rezoning to C-2 will greatly impact this community negatively. The beautiful mountain views,
stone formations and sunsets should not have to compete with a commercial landscape that can be seen in any city in America.
There are other options such as the businesses hidden in the desert on Scottsdale Road.
I am in opposition to the rezoning of the entrance to this picturesque historic site.
Sincerely,
Grace Alexander

Dear Mr. Schlimm,
I am writing to express my strong opposition to the rezone hearing for the Cactus Nursery at 33840 N Cave
Creek Rd, specifically pertaining to the request for billboard use, wireless communication (cell towers), and
retail sale of gas (butane & propane). The prospect of billboards and "Sky Clutter" in our scenic and residential
area is deeply troubling and goes against the very essence of our community.
I urge you to consider the implications of allowing billboards and commercial elements in our community,
especially given the designation of Cave Creek Road as a Scenic Corridor and a participant in the dark skies
initiative. I kindly request that you take our concerns into serious consideration prior to the rezone hearing
scheduled for January 11th.
Your attention to this matter and prompt consideration of my opposition is greatly appreciated. I trust that you
will weigh all concerns thoughtfully.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Warm regards,
Mary Kate McConaughy

Hi Nicholas,
Regarding Case Z2023052
Cactus Nursery Rezoning to C-2 Commercial.
I am a Cave Creek resident who votes regularly and I wanted you to know I oppose the use of billboards, cell towers and
retail sales of gas (butane & propane) at this location.
This is a scenic location, and our town relies on tourism and local visitors to thrive. What a loss it would be to the area to
have those views tainted.
Thank you,
Beth Ballmann
