I decided to take in last nights City of Kingman Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. I just can't get enough of that meeting room lately.
I admit that I haven't been to many of these meetings in the past so maybe I'm off a bit with what I'm going to say following. Of the eight items on the agenda last night, six involved a request to rezone residential to some form of commercial. The other cases involved; a rezone to a Multiple Family, Low Density, Planned Development District and a request for an approval of an extension of time of a preliminary plat for a subdivision.
The applicants last night seemed to be the 'movers and shakers' type in the community. They've obviously have noticed a need in the community for more commercial space to serve the residents.
Quickly looking back a few months worth of P&Z meetings minutes and requests to rezone residential area's to commercial zoning are not hard to find. Time extensions for residential subdivisions are also found throughout the time period I glanced at.
This points to the fact that most likely before more folks move to the Kingman area, more services need to be available to serve the current and future residents.
The signals are there folks. More commercial development is needed, and a larger retail commercial center located elsewhere than on Stockton Hill Road is key. But where will it be located?? There is an obvious answer, but a so-called community watch dog outfit will be asking you to vote against it later this year.
