ADOBE Association for the Development of a Better Environment
What is ADOBE? ADOBE was created in 1989 to oversee and implement the orderly growth of the Gold Canyon area. ADOBE gathers and disseminates information and data to the membership concerning any public, private, governmental, commercial, or developmental activities that may affect the character and/or environment of the community, and then serves as a conduit between these entities. The Association may initiate, endorse, or oppose issues that may affect the community, and when appropriate, establish, appoint or commission the formation of citizen action and/or study groups.
- ADOBE BELIEVES: *** That local citizens should be responsive to their own needs by allowing them to maintain local standards and controls, and that grass roots involvement best reflects established local value.s *** Planned, quality development will enhance property values, lifestyle, and security.
- *** Property owners have the right to do with their land that which is in the law, in conjunction with local ordinances, and state and Federal laws that preserve the health, safety, and welfare of the public.
- *** Quality commercial development--which is essential to orderly growth and controlled and logical taxation- will ensure commercial developers are attracted to the community while keeping in compliance with established local standards of devlepment.
