At tonight’s town council meeting, the mayor and members of town council voted to submit their proposed General Plan to Cave Creek voters for final approval.
The town incurs no penalty for not having a General Plan.
The proposed General Plan will permanently change Cave Creek in many ways. Here are some of the ways:
Our General Plan should preserve our Cave Creek lifestyle and conform to Arizona law. In an article dated 1/31/16 appearing under the topic “General Plan” on the website www.cavecreektownhallblog.com it was pointed out that the designated planning agency under Arizona statutes and Cave Creek’s Town Code was the Planning Commission, not the town’s Planning Department. In that same article it was also pointed out that the Planning Commission members’ approval of Resolution 2016-04 unlawfully delegated the authority of the Planning Commission to the Planning Department.
Tonight, Resolution 2016-04 was approved by the mayor and members of town council without amending the Resolution unlawfully delegating the authority of the Planning Commission to the Planning Department.
Let’s take our time and get it right. Vote “NO” on August 30, 2016.
