We all have seen the 'eye sore' at 67th Avenue, north of Southern, known as the Calderwood Properties. That said, the LPC has been working hard to rectify the problem of intense use of storage of Frac Tanks, and trailers, trash and other construction materials.
The County Planning and Zoning has denied an extension on the Temporary Use Permit, and is working to correct the amount of storage. When the representative for Calderwood Properties came before the LPC last year, we were told a maximum of 20 trailers would be on the property. We approved the use with several stipulations, including landscaping and lighting.
Hopefully soon, the use we agreed on, with the community in mind, will be met. For more information, please come to our next LPC meeting on Monday, May 3rd.
The Laveen Planning Committee is chartered by Maricopa County and is a member organization of the Laveen Community Council. The LPC hears planning and zoning cases for the portions of Laveen that are in unincorporated Maricopa County. The LPC does not approve or deny applications, but makes recommendations to the County Planning and Zoning department and the County Board of Supervisors.
