project not required to
apply for special permits

Much ado about nothing would be the way to describe concerns espoused by District 2 Supervisor Paul Newman about imposing strict requirements for organizers of the Minuteman Project to abide by zoning regulations. As it turns out the “event” as Newman described it, does not fall under the auspices of any zoning regulations already on the book. Newman asked county administrators to look into the possibility of imposing expanded permitting requirements for such issues as driving along the border road, occupying airspace above Cochise County and demanding a list of the Minuteman Volunteer roster, all which are private information that the county has no authority to oversee.
The Minuteman Project will not be required to apply for any special use permits. At a Cochise County Board of Supervisors workshop on Tuesday morning, Director of County Planning and Zoning Jim Vlahovich said the organizers of the project understand all the regulations and have structured the month-long event in a way that they will not be required to apply for a special use permit for any part of the rally. Vlahovich said he recommends a contact and informational outline be provided to the Highway and Flood Plain department, including details of the car parking locations off the road on a proper right-of-way where they will not create problems with local traffic flow.
“All we need to know is the impact on the of the right-of- way access but I do not see a need, nor is there a requirement for the group to apply for a permit for this activity,” department director James E. Vlahovich told county officials.
As for utilizing the Miracle Valley Bible College, Vlahovich told supervisors that a permit would be required only if volunteers were planning on occupying a 13-room dormitory on the grounds of the college. Chris Simcox, co-organizer of the project, assured Vlahovich that no volunteers would be sleeping in the dormitory. No permit will be required for recreational vehicles and campers who plan on staying at the facility. “The lodging of private citizens is not in the public interest and does not fall under any special permit requirement,” said Vlahovich.
Simcox reported that several local landowners have opened up their property for attendees since Newman’s politically motivated press conference last Friday.
Supervisor Newman has asked county administrator to investigate a list of other possible sanctions or permitting that could be used to regulate the Minuteman volunteers. Newman wants county officials to investigate the possibility of regulating the air space over the area, charging organizers for overtime costs for the sheriff’s department, demanding a list of the private property owners who are hosting volunteers, regulating the erection of temporary structures such as watchtowers, and demanding federal involvement by regulating activities on land owned by the Bureau of Land Management. Newman has also suggested special regulations on participants right to carry weapons, regulations which would be a clear violation of individual Second Amendment rights.
Supervisor Pat Call stated he was not sure such attention to the event was necessary. “We’ve had a number of requests for other events and I don’t want to single any group out with this much special attention,” Call stated.
