Propositions 400 & 401

Voting “No” on Cave Creek’s Propositions 400 and 401 this November 3rd protects your neighbor’s property now and could very well protect your property in the near future. We cannot allow ourselves to be swayed into believing that the Walmart tax revenue is worth sacrificing a few outlying Cave Creek residents for the good of the Town. The new changes to the General Plan means that no homeowner in Cave Creek will be impervious to commercial upzoning, including additional big box stores such as Walmart anywhere in the Town of Cave Creek. These changes have already been outlined in the Cave Creek White Paper (see sidebar for the link to read the White Paper). Being informed on what the Town Council has planned for your community’s future and how it will directly affect you and your property will make your decision-making process a little easier.

Proposition 400
 — Amendment to the General Plan
A “No” vote does not approve the Town Council decision to open up 20.53 acres of residential land for a land use change from it’s current status. This would revise the Land Use Map of the Town of Cave Creek General Plan and would change the land use designation from Desert Rural to Mixed Use on three (3) parcels located south of the southeast corner of Cave Creek Road and Carefree Highway.

Proposition 401 — Zoning Change
A “No” vote does not approve the Town Council decision for a zoning change from Desert Rural/Residential to General Commercial to accommodate a 24-Hour Walmart Supercenter.
