Disclosure: Rose Law Group represents APEX Motor Sports
By Raquel Hendrickson | InMaricopa
A committee aiming to stop the construction of Apex Motor Club in Maricopa turned in more than twice the number of signatures needed for a referendum.
The Maricopa Citizens Protecting Tax Payers Political Action Committee was granted its request to file its 86 petitions Friday, when City Hall is usually closed. Its workers collected 1,133 signatures. For a referendum, it needed 491.
The Maricopa City Council approved a conditional use permit for APEX in April. At the meeting a couple of residents expressed concerns about the project while others spoke in favor. The referendum is an attempt to force the city’s approval to a public vote.
Robert Rebich, who is listed as chairman of the opposition committee with a Phoenix address, did not return phone calls.
