[Vision2020] Alternative School

[Michael Curley]

Mr. Merkle:
Doggone my hypocrisy--i went out of town and didn't jump right on 
this.  But as best I can answer from Phoenix at 11 pm on a Friday 
night:  
I didn't bring my copy of the zoning map with me, so I can't verify 
what zone the alternative high school is in.  IF it's in a 
Neighborhood Business zone, then it is not permitted, it is 
prohibited, a complaint against it should be sustained, and the 
school would have to go through the public hearing process toask to  
have the code amended if it wants to continue legally.  And they 
probably shouldn't spend all their time whining and pointing fingers 
at the folks who file the complaint and ask what their motives are 
and saying how they are being attacked.  The law is pretty clear.  
They should read the law and follow the law--request to change the 
law if necessary.  Yes, Mr. Merkle, I do think the rules are the same 
for everyone as they are applied to similar situations.

As to a challenge to the alternative school, I have not been hired by 
either side to represent them in such a matter, so I don't have a 
position for or against such a challenge.
