The Show Low Planning and Zoning Commission convened for its regular meeting on January 14, 2025, with all commissioners present. The meeting commenced with an invocation led by Commissioner Whipple, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, recited by Vice Chair Roberts.
The primary agenda item was the consideration of Conditional Use Permit 602-04-268, submitted by Linda Grice of Young Design Group on behalf of Verizon Wireless.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the commission's dedication to balancing development needs with community values, setting the stage for future discussions on this significant project.
