A proposal to put 352 apartment units at Rivulon, considered a key employment center in town, recently got some public pushback.
The Planning Commission is scheduled Nov. 2 to vote on a recommendation to Town Council on a rezone and minor General Plan amendment on the 10.31 acres near the southwest corner of Lindsay and Pecos roads. The land is currently zoned Business Park.
“I’m a Gilbert native,” said Bret Ryan at the Oct. 5 Planning Commission meeting. “I’ve lived here since 1978 and seen a lot of changes in town and I’m kind of done with the multifamily.
“There’s a lot of multifamily going up and I think we just need to take a step back at this point and evaluate that this is in the Rivulon area.”
Ryan said the mixed-used 280-acre Rivulon development, home to Fortune 500 companies such as Deloitte and Morgan Stanley and restaurants, is a great area to bike and walk through.
