Looks like the local media has picked up on Cool Springs Camp‘s attempts to rectify its zoning hurdles.
The Kingman (Ariz.) Daily Miner reports on the restored Route 66 property’s attempts to rezone from agricultural residential to commercial business, so it will meet the county’s General Plan.
Here’s an interesting wrinkle to the story:
According to P&Z’s records, commercial operations at Cool Springs pre-date the General Plan by three or more decades.
According to the Leuchtner’s Web site, the station was built in the mid-1920s.
Grandfather clause, anyone?
The report deems the rezoning as a “minor” adjustment. What’s strange about this whole thing is that Cool Springs Camp was restored and operating — to considerable fanfare — more than two years ago. Why is the county raising an issue about it now?
