Earlier this month the Planning and Zoning Commission heard more than a dozen citizens speak in opposition to a proposed apartment complex as redevelopment of the western half of the Four Peaks Plaza (Target) on Shea Boulevard.
At the Town Council meeting Dec. 19, the script was flipped as more than a dozen stepped up to the podium during “Call to the Public” to speak in support of the plan. The council cannot respond to comments made during the public call, however, the council is scheduled to hold its own hearing on a rezoning request and consider approval when it meets Wednesday, Jan. 17.
Pam Cap was the first to speak and she noted that an article on the proposed project on the Arizona Building Exchange website highlighted the difficulty developers have getting land use approvals in Fountain Hills. The town is carrying that reputation, Cap noted.
