Rezoning property for a KOA-style campground with cabins and recreational vehicle spots with sewer hook-ups and campsites was approved in a 5-1 vote of the Apache Junction Planning and Zoning Commission Oct. 24. Conceptual plans also set aside 4 acres of freeway frontage for a proposed 300- to 350-room hotel, restaurant and retail uses on 16.87 acres of vacant property at the northeast corner area of South Tomahawk Road and U.S. Highway 60.
“I thought it was like another RV park. I thought we had too many RV parks in town,” Commissioner Michael Frank said in an interview after the meeting on why he voted no.
He likes that there will be some cabins and campsites.
