Citizen Participation Plan Rezoning downtown to apply the Downtown Overlay Ordinance Purpose: The purpose of this Citizen Participation Plan is to inform citizens, property owners, business owners, and property owner associations of the rezoning application to apply the newly created Downtown Overlay to the defined downtown area. The rezoning will remove the existing two overlay districts from the Plat 208 area. This plan has been prepared to define the process which will be used to inform the impacted property owners and businesses of the intended rezoning and provide them with a means to provide input to the proposed zoning change. Applicant: Town of Fountain Hills Location: The area bounded by Avenue of the Fountains, La Montana, and Saguaro. Action Plan: In order to provide effective citizen participation in conjunction with this rezoning process, the following actions will be taken: 1. A contact list of property owners, business owners, and property owner associations within the area and property owners within 300’ of the boundary of the rezoning area will be created. 2. All persons on the contact list will be sent a letter describing the proposed rezoning and provided a link to the new Downtown Overlay District. The letter will describe the process for Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council consideration and adoption of the new overlay district. The letter will also inform the recipients of the options to provide feedback on the proposed rezoning. 3. The Town’s website will be updated with a page describing the rezoning and the new overlay and provide interested individuals with information on how to provide feedback on the proposal. Schedule: Letters mailed: NLT 9/18 Public hearings: Planning and Zoning Commission November 10; Town Council December 16
