Attention Greer Community
The photo and illustration below show the 'before and after' of the Major Plat Amendment Application for two lots on Main Street in Greer, approximately between Little Fork In The Road and Lost Resorts.
Update 12/30/2024: Discussion on this project by Apache County Planning & Zoning Commission has been postponed until the February meeting at the earliest. In the meantime, we encourage all community members to reach out to the county with your thoughts on the matter. Stay tuned for updates on dates and times.
Call or email the P&Z Community Development Administrator, Matt Fish (928) 337-7527 mfish@co.apache.az.us
​
Currently, Lot 102-11-013 and 102-11-013 are zoned Greer Commercial Resort, allowing for multiple units but not condominiums. The Plat Amendment seeks to combine the two lots and expand the commercial zoning. There are serious questions about the process by which this zoning was granted and the legality of a free standing condo development on GCR zoning.
Please contact Mr. Fish with your thoughts and questions. Stay informed. Let your voice be heard.
Why GCI Cares about this issue:
1. Our County Leadership must be held accountable for following the rules, enforcing the rules, and acting in good faith with ALL of their constituents. They work for us.
1. The potential for increased noise, traffic congestion, parking issues, unsustainable water use, impact on infrastructure, and many of the units may become short term rentals.
2. Potential for similarly zoned properties to do the same thing.
3. Decreased property values nearby and in Greer in general.
4. Decreased quality of life in Greer.
What we are doing:
1. Challenging the existing zoning as improper.
2. Seeking legal advice for information, options and processes.
3. Organizing nearby property owners.
4. Recruiting neighbors to write letters to Apache County officials.
5. Encouraging people to attend P&Z and BOS meetings and to speak at them.
What we need:
1. Community involvement: inform yourselves, reach out to neighbors, voice your concerns, listen.
2. People to write and email Apache County officials.
3. People to attend P&Z and BOS meetings.
4. People to recruit others to do the above.
