The Fountain Hills Town Council agreed with the Planning and Zoning Commission and voted unanimously to deny a rezoning application to allow a golf cart sales business to display vehicles in front of its business on Fountain Hills Boulevard.
Councilmembers agreed that rezoning the property from neighborhood commercial to a more intense commercial designation would not be appropriate for the site. It is believed the more intense zoning would allow for potential businesses that are not compatible with the school and church facilities across the street from the location.
However, the council also agreed the town should find a way to allow the business owner to display the golf carts in the parking lot outside the store. The town’s Zoning Ordinance prohibits the display of vehicles for sale outside of a building within the neighborhood commercial district.
