Article 6 Amendment Update - May 25, 2026
Greer Coalition Action Alert
What: Apache County Planning and Zoning Commission meeting
When: Wednesday, June 3 at 5 PM
Where: County Annex Building at 75 W. Cleveland St. in St. Johns.
Why: Amendment to Greer Zoning to clarify limits to condo development
Dear Greer Neighbor,
Since last May, when Apache County approved condo development in Greer, hundreds
of our neighbors have signed petitions, written to Planning Director Matt Fish, and
attended meetings in support of an amendment to Greer's zoning ordinance, Article 6,
to eliminate or strictly limit future high-density residential development.
The GCI has been advocating with County officials on your behalf, conducting in-depth
research on specific examples in Arizona for accomplishing exactly these goals — but
we are meeting significant resistance in the final stretch.
The finish line is just around the corner, and you need to be there to make your voice
heard.
A hearing on a draft Article 6 amendment is planned for the Planning and Zoning
Commission meeting scheduled for Wednesday, June 3 at 5 PM.
GCI has offered language to eliminate condos from Greer. County officials believe this is
not legally possible, even as GCI's legal advisors strongly disagree with this
interpretation of State law.
Alternatively, GCI has advised adopting policy to accompany our zoning ordinance that
would regulate privately owned condominiums within the Greer Commercial Resort
Zone (GCR) by requiring participation in resort activity, thereby closing the back door to
purely private condo development.
Without these policy objectives, we believe loopholes would remain that allow condo
development like we are currently seeing on Main St. This style of development is
clearly against the will of the vast majority of Greer property owners.
We call on you to show up on June 3 and advocate for:
1. Removing condominiums from Greer development plans, as GCI's legal advisors
have proposed; or
2. Adopting policy language that limits condo units to participation in defined resort
activity.
3. Requiring resort development in Greer to be considerate of impacts on adjacent
residents through unified ownership and management.
4. Requiring any privately owned units offered for short-term rental to abide by the
same requirements as those set forth in Greer's Article 24.
We hope to see you in St. Johns on June 3 at 5pm. Some of us will arrive by 4pm for
the study session and discussion held by the Commissioners.
Thank you for your support. If you have questions or additional input, use the ‘Contact Us’ link below or email us at Admin@greercoalition.org
