Oro Valley Council Votes "Yes" On "Religous Institutions" As You Neighbor

If you read the Zee Man's posting of Sept 17, he cautions us that the Council voting to approve the "Religious Institution" motion may cause "unintended consequences"

Well, it's a done deal. Mr. Parish, who made the motion to approve, in effect stated, "this is a 'No-Brainer,' " and suggested any vote but "yes" would somehow be against religion in this country.

Mrs. Dankwerth tried her best to use the old "cop out" vote, stating she would rather see a Conditional Use Permit required, in that it would require notification of impacted residents within 600', rather than a development plan, which only requires a notification within 300'. But she still voted "yes."

The good news?

Well, the council was advised by the Planning Director that towns and cities have been victorious in a few of the multitude of law suits generated nationally on this "Religious Institute" policy.

This is going to turn out to be a disaster. Read our posting "Unforseen Consequences" to learn more.

Define a religious institution?
I can see some joker making a case out of this.
Remember those people that had some sort of church of pot or something like that.
Yeah I hope they move close to the mayor or one of the council members.
