🚨🔥 MAJOR COMMUNITY WIN!!! 🔥🚨

THE SECOND COUNTY REVIEW IS IN — AND IT FAILED!

And there is something VERY important in this review that every person in our community needs to see.

The County specifically cited the community’s response when explaining its concerns about the proposed density.

Under “Density and Development Patterns,” County staff wrote:

"Staff continues to have significant concerns with densities above 1 du/ac until urban water, sewer, and other supporting infrastructure are demonstrated or committed. Given Rio Verde area history and infrastructure constraints, staff has received substantial community concern with densities above 1 du/ac.”

READ THAT AGAIN!

📣 OUR COMMUNITY WAS HEARD.

The emails.

The phone calls.

The meetings.

The questions.

The petitions.

The people who took the time to speak up.

IT MATTERED. And it made a difference.

This is a major development in the process and a major win for our community. 🎉

I am digging into the full document now, and there is much more to review. There are other important findings that I want to make sure I fully understand before I share them with you.

🔎 Want to see the document yourself?

Go to DefendTheAcre.com → County Process

Use the instructions provided to search for:

Z260002

CPA260001

Then look for the newly posted attachments and review the County's findings for yourself.

📢 MORE TO COME.
This is not the time to step back. This is the time to stay engaged.

We are still in this fight, and there will be more opportunities—and more actions—for our community.

To everyone who sent an email, made a phone call, attended a meeting, signed the petition, shared information, or simply took the time to speak up:

THANK YOU. ❤️

Your voice mattered. Your participation mattered. And today, we have evidence that the County heard you.

🔥 Stay informed. Stay engaged. Stay ready.

RIO VERDE FOOTHILLS — WE ARE NOT DONE YET!

​We respectfully ask Maricopa County to DENY the MorDo Ranch rezoning applications CPA260001 & Z260002 and maintain Rural-43 zoning.

Per the post… Only lot numbers 25011 and 3369 for dogs and 24416 and 25265p for horses. Both have visible glass fiber in the vials.

Adequan - used to treat arthritis and joint pain - in dogs and horses, recall from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Veterinary Medicine. Details in link in comments - and please help to spread the word as this isn't going to make the evening news
