Planning Commission - 6/3/2026 5:00:00 PM

The Gilbert, Arizona Planning Commission held a study session and regular meeting on June 3, 2026, focusing primarily on land development and zoning issues. Key procurement-related discussions included the preliminary plat for the Harvest Grove residential subdivision, featuring approximately 910 single-family lots over 264 acres, and a proposed 58,000 square foot cold storage distribution warehouse within the Horizon Engineering Industrial Park. The commission also reviewed a rezoning and general plan amendment request for a 4.9-acre parcel to allow multifamily residential development, which involved requests for several zoning deviations such as reduced setbacks and open space requirements. Public comments expressed significant opposition to the multifamily rezoning, citing concerns about traffic, privacy, property values, and loss of commercial land. The commission ultimately voted against recommending approval of the general plan amendment and zoning change for the multifamily project. Discussions included detailed presentations on site design, landscaping, circulation, and economic impact studies projecting increased tax revenues and job creation from the multifamily development. The meeting concluded with administrative approvals and no further procurement actions.
