Apache Junction Planning & Zoning Commission - 11/10/2026

The City of Apache Junction Planning and Zoning Commission met on November 10, 2026, and unanimously approved conditional use permit case P-26-79-CUP for A King Steel to operate a steel-fabrication business at 660 East 38th Avenue in the B-5 industrial district. The approval is subject to the conditions listed in the case, including compliance with the submitted plans; the site plan provides a 30-foot setback from the northern property line for operations. Staff said the commission’s decision does not require City Council approval unless appealed within 20 days.

Commissioners asked about air particulates, hazardous materials, operating timelines, and employment. The applicant described an enclosed CNC plasma cutter with a water table, said outdoor welding would stop in unsuitable weather, and reported using water-soluble paint and ordinary cleaning products. The business currently has 11 employees and may expand. No contracts, purchases, budget allocations, or other procurement activity were identified.
