Not trail related but affects the future of landowners in Palominas and other private rural residential areas. A woman who has lived out of the country for 20 years has come back to her hometown and wants to establish a "glampground" and yoga retreat and meditation complex on Paloma Trail in Palominas. She has applied for a special use permit because this will be a commercial business in a rural residential area. She plans to charge $175-200 a night to camp in either of 3 tents (which will be furnished with the same amenities as a hotel room, thus the term "glamping," i.e. glamorous camping) or 2 earth bag domes (basically 200 sq. ft. Mud huts). Paloma Trail is privately maintained by approximately 20 residents and is nearly impassible every time it rains. This business is incompatible with the surrounding environment and will not only impact the peace and tranquility the residents currently enjoy, but the number of people attending workshops at this location will severely deteriorate our already fragile Paloma Trail. If this business is allowed to exist it will set a precedent for other businesses to locate in residential areas rather than on Hwy 92 where they are more appropriately located. Please join with your fellow neighbors to protest this special use in our residential communities. We residents have already voiced our objections to the Cochise County Planning Commission but we need the support of our neighboring residents to stop this project. If you are able, please attend the next meeting of the Planning Commission at 4:00 pm on Wednesday June 13, 2018 to voice your opposition to a Commercial Business locating in a residential community. If not, comments in opposition can be e-mailed to Robert Kirschmann at [email protected]

I'd like to mention that Paloma Trail is a road not just a trail. It is privately maintained and sometimes treacherous/washed out to the point of unusable. The area this business is thinking of using also has some sink holes and is very near the border with Mexico. I think the retreat would be better served in a non-residential & safe location.

Please don't allow this yoga retreat to be built. Our water table needs to be saved for residential families . And it will also create a havok with more traffic. We moved to the country to get away from these kind of issues.

As the title of the petition says - it is just not a good plan or even a fair plan to put a commercial business in a residential neighborhood. Especially where the road and the water supply are privately maintained.

Residential Zoning is in place for a reason. Exception to allow Commercial ventures into established residential areas such as this should not be allowed.

This is better suited for an area like the Bible College property. Paloma Trail is a very limited use road.

Bringing businesses into residential areas ruins quality of life for those residence

There is a place for everything in this world, but I don’t believe a business should be allowed to be in a residential area. I’m not against this type of business- I think it’s great, just not at this location.

This is a quiet residential area. This type of business belongs in a more secluded area or commercial zone.
