Commercial rezoning sought for Prickly Pear RV Park in Apache Junction
The Apache Junction Planning Commission decided recently the municipality should initiate a rezoning of a recreational vehicle park to allow commercial uses and remove a billboard.
Prickly Pear RV Park, 1630 W. Apache Trail, would be rezoned from Recreational Vehicle Park to Old West Commercial by Planned Development, Kelsey Schattnik, planning intern, said at the commission’s Jan. 22 meeting.
“The planning staff sees this as an opportunity to eliminate two nonconforming uses on the property, one of which is the billboard and one of which is the RV park, because the RV park is not 10 acres in size — it’s actually just under two — and to allow for future commercial development on the property,” Ms. Schattnik said to the commission.
