6. Land Use In Greer Greer Phase I
SECTION 303 – ISSUE RESOLUTION
DEVELOPMENT ETHIC (context)
Greer is a mountain village in a splendid natural setting. The character of the community is a mixture of open land, homes on one acre lots, small commercial enterprises and widely disbursed minor resorts.
Residents and property owners perceive the Greer area as a very special place that must not be sacrificed in terms of visual image, scenic quality, character, and stability of environmental resources. These qualities attract visitors, tourists and investment, and their preservation is therefore in the long term economic best interest of Apache County.
All the current conditions and perceptions lead to the primary goal of CHARACTER MAINTENANCE.
