Court releases opinion in Maricopa APEX case
by Kevin Reagan | Maricopa Monitor
Giving developers a permit to build on 280 acres in Maricopa was an administrative act, the Arizona Court of Appeals has ruled, and not legislative.
On Monday, the appellate court released its opinion on why it ruled in favor of Private Motorsports Group, developers behind the APEX park, in September.
A committee, calling itself the Maricopa Citizens Protecting Taxpayers challenged PMG in court after the Maricopa City Council granted a permit to the developers in April. The committee had hoped to force a public referendum on the permitting decision.
