Amid public concerns, the Florence Town Council voted against issuing a conditional use permit to a company that planned to build an RV storage center at the northwest corner of West Merrill Ranch Parkway and North Hunt Highway.
Only Councilmember Michelle Cordes voted in favor of issuing the conditional use permit during the Monday, June 6 meeting.
During the public hearing portion of the meeting, residents said they were concerned about traffic, crime and the facility being an eyesore. Town staff also said “151+ emails were sent to staff by residents to express their comments and concerns as of the writing of this staff report. While predominately in opposition, there are some favoring the development.”
