Excerpt:
In April of 2015 I recalled learning that the City Planning Commission was hearing a proposal to change the zone of a large parcel of land next to the Super 8 hotel on Main Street from R-2 to C-4. I heard a lot of frustration and anger from neighbors to this property. It is 4.4 acres and while it also is adjacent to Main Street (for a short stretch) and the Super 8, the other side abut residential yards and 500 West, a residential thoroughfare. The proposal finally made it to City Council for final approval/denial in mid-August, and was approved in a 4-1 vote on August 18th (The Times Independent, August 20, 2015).
I’m back to affordable housing and the problem that is bigger than Moab. This issue crosses political boundaries – we all live here because we love it here. Let’s make it what WE want it to be, not what some out of town corporation decides we need, and then takes the profits out of the valley.
