Opposition to Re-Zoning on Carefree Highway
Joseph,  
 
Please excuse the lack of a reference number or case filing number.  
But I do wish to express my concern and opposition for the "garage condos" proposed near carefree highway and 
central ave.  
The northern area is experiencing exponential growth that is not sustainable for water resources, traffic control, 
population, reduction of open natural desert spaces, among others.  
Although this specific space would not be zoned for residential use it will increase interest in the area which will result in 
more homes that will then be tapping into an already depleted aquifer, or rely heavily on hauled or city water, again a 
resource that is significantly dwindling.  
Also there appears to be no need for a business of this nature in this area. The surrounding housing is already at 1 home 
per acre; most homes have plenty of room for a shop or garage for this specific purpose.  
This contributes nothing to the area while simultaneously proving that city and county officials are not concerned about 
anything but their bottom lines; they do not care what our opinions are which is aggravating and disrespectful.      
 
If there are any upcoming hearings or meetings where this is being discussed I would like to be added to the notification 
list.  
 
Thank you
