The Planning and Zoning Commission delayed its discussion and recommendation regarding the Daybreak apartment plan proposed for Fountain Hills.

The commission considered a continuance at the request of the developer. Paul Gilbert, an attorney for the developer, asked the commission to postpone its action until Thursday, Aug. 8. He said the developers wanted another chance to meet with residents in the area of the proposed project. However, the motion made by the commission set the date for Sept. 12.

Gilbert then told the commission that if they were going to delay until September his client preferred to go forward at the July 25 session. However, Commission Chair Susan Dempster noted that the motion had already been made and seconded and she called for the vote. The motion to delay until Sept. 12 passed on a 5-1 vote.

An audience of about 200 had come ready to discuss the plan but the public hearing was not opened.
