It's about the 16 acres at the base of Tortugas Mountain, which is up for a rezoning hearing tonight. I'm not attending because I believe I already know what the outcome will be. Here are three paragraphs from the article that will confirm my opinion, I think:
"The county is recommending conditional approval, according to the meeting packet. The zoning authority will make the final decision.
The owners, Doña Ana Sand & Gravel, are seeking an EC3 commercial classification with conditions, which would allow hotels, grocery stores, gyms, offices, outpatient clinics, stores and other services on the land, according to the packet.
A few other businesses could be allowed with conditions, including drive-up restaurants, childcare services, banks, pet stores, a pool or gas pumps."

Too awful.
Think of how much traffic will increase. It is awful.
Yes it is awful, Jacqui and Dr. K. If they build fast-food restaurants and gas stations there Becca and I will access the mountain from other areas. But what a shame to put that garbage so close to the mountain.
You should have put "progress" in quotes, Packrat.
Indeed, Scott.
Got this message this morning from one of the people who's been actively involved in the protest against zoning the parcel commercial:
"The outcome of the ETZ Commission vote last night on the 15.98 acre parcel below Tortugas "A" Mountain was split 3-3, which means that the request by the County for planned commercial was denied.
Your willingness to take action regarding this issue is much appreciated!
We'll let you know when there's new information to share about what happens next."
That's good news, of course, but I wonder what "new information" will be forthcoming--that the county is having yet another rezoning hearing in the near future?
