A vicinity and zoning map for the 1.2 acres at 980 E. Scenic St. in Apache Junction.

When Kathleen Pavicevic bought a home on 1.2 acres at 980 E. Scenic St. in Apache Junction she planned to stable her horses but later found out that the city requires a minimum of 1.25 acres for horse privileges.

Her attorney, Brian C. Locker of Fowler St. Clair, told the Apache Junction City Council at a rezoning hearing May 2 that she was told by real estate officials that she could have horses on the property.

The council voted to approve rezoning the property from multi-family residential to single-family residential and allowing horses on the 1.2-acre property.
