An eyesore to some, valuable structural addition to others

With plans for the City of Apache Junction to expand south of the Superstition Freeway, cargo containers should not be allowed on lots less than 1.25 acres in size, planning commissioners have decided.
“If our city is to grow, we don’t want these things popping up and becoming an eyesore,” Commissioner Shirley Ooley said.
The Apache Junction Planning and Zoning Commission recently voted 4-1 to recommend that the City Council not amend the current code for cargo containers, with Commissioner Dave Hantzsche voting no. In attendance were Chair Theresa Nesser, Vice Chair Peter Heck and Commissioner Hantzsche. Attending by phone were Commissioners Ooley and Michael McGraw.
