Public Input 
• The applicant has complied with the public notification requirements, including a sign 
posting, mail notification, and a newspaper posting. 
• A neighborhood meeting for the case was held at the Apache Junction Multi-Generation 
Center on Thursday, January 29, 2026. 
• Ten neighbors attended the meeting to discuss the proposed rezoning and how the nature of the 
property may change.
• Staff has received comment via email from 5 residents, three in support and two 
opposed to the rezoning. Two members of the public appeared at the Planning and 
Zoning Commission Public Hearing and spoke in support of the proposed rezoning.
• Staff has received a follow-up from one of the objectors noting that their concerns have been 
addressed and they no longer object to the rezoning.

Staff Recommendation 
• Planning Staff recommends the approval of P-26-6-PZ, finding that the proposed 
rezoning brings the zoning of the property more in line with that of similar parcels in the 
area.

Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation
• On May 12, 2026, the Planning and Zoning Commission evaluated the Rezoning proposal 
and voted 6-0 to forward P-26-6-PZ to the Apache Junction City Council with a 
recommendation of approval subject to the conditions of approval found in the Staff 
Report.
• At City Council Work Session on June 1, 2026, the Council reviewed the case information 
and held discussion on the nature of the property’s use and the public’s concerns about 
potential commercial activity at the property in addition to the potential re-inclusion of 
Condition of Approval #2.

read:
“No business activity shall occur on the property, including but not limited to the storage or 
parking of commercial vehicles, equipment, or construction materials. Additionally, no

— shall be permitted on the site.”
