Mainecoons Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 If I read this right, sounds like Moises and the Chapala government have stepped up and done the right thing. Anyone who has read this, what is your take? It is on Page 1 and 2 of the current issue of the Reporter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanson Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Thanks for the Link, Go Solar. I think I had better make reservations to return to the Lake before the US Gov. closes again. I hope by then the Pemex problem will be solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomgates Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 If you read my Gas Availability thread, there are 3 stations open today, 2 with hardly any lines. Would be nice to have someone post again about those on the way to the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not alone. I still can't tell if they reversed the original zoning permission or not re ANY of the projects. Clarity is not the article's strong point.

Bisbee Gal Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Would be helpful if article was more specific about the location of large projects, namely those mentioned in this paragraph: "The commission set terms for modifying zoning specifications for the construction of a waterfront hotel and two residential complexes in Ajijic." http://theguadalajarareporter.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taaffe Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Today's Guadalajara Reporter has an article on the meeting that the Urban Planning committee had last Friday. (deleted by mod2 copyright issue) The pressure from the Chialli Axixic group (and most probably the requests for exact details on the zoning change from their lawyer on January 15-18) made for an interesting session of this group made up of the President and two ex-presidents (the Degollado brothers), one of whom was involved in the original zoning change last March. The video can be see on the Gobierno de Chapala facebook page, watch minutes 38-45 for the part on Chapala where the body language, of the ex and current Presidents tell the whole story. The current head of Urban Planning, Arq. Rivas, was very clear about the illegality of the attempted project (which Moy Anaya had oringinally denied existed, but now admits), and although it looks like a win, the Chimalli Axixic group will continue to monitor the situation, as well as the other iffy development plans in the area. The fact is, that all of us stand to lose if there is unchecked building and there is a lot of it. The committee and the current government are willing to legalize many of the projects (La Pueblita, a 4 story building in El Bajío, the high rise in La Floresta, and many more). Having stopped or delayed the tower project near El Tepalo is an example how the will of the people, and a good lawyer, can move, or in this case stop the moving, of mountains.

ibarra Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 I wish people would be this interested in the HUGE project planned in Chapala across the arroyo from Brisas de Chapala (not Las Brisas as listed in the above referenced article). Half of the mountain will be gone if and when this development happens not to mention the animals that will be displaced (cows and goats especially).
