The possible revocation of a conditional use permit for outdoor entertainment activities at Hitching Post Restaurant, 2341 and 2345 N. Apache Trail, will be heard by the Apache Junction Planning and Zoning Commission in 2019 after hearings are held with the board of adjustment over other matters.
The Apache Junction City Council last summer granted a permit to Mehmood Mohiuddin, owner of the Hitching Post Restaurant, to conduct certain outdoor entertainment activities, subject to conditions of approval, some of which were time sensitive.
“Back in May of 2018, the City Council approved a resolution allowing Mr. Mohiuddin, owner of the Hitching Post, to conduct various outdoor activities on his property,” Rudy Esquivias, senior planner for the city of Apache Junction, said at the planning commission’s Dec. 11 meeting.
