P.V. Residents Concerned About Loss Of View...

P.V. residents concerned about loss of view, from the East Valley Tribune, reports that Paradise Valley residents are seeing their scenic views of Mummy and Camelback Mountains replaced with rooftops, as an increasing number of older, smaller homes are being torn down and replaced with larger, multi-level ones. Some residents are petitioning for overlay zoning, which would add an additional layer of regulations for the area. Both the Planning Commission and the council would have to approve overlay zoning. But some council members say there are better alternatives. Councilwoman Jini Simpson says that voluntary covenants, which would allow residents to voluntarily create their own restrictions tailored to their specific neighborhood, would be a better way to enforce codes while preserving property rights.
