A mixed-use development with 357 apartments with a garage and office space is being proposed at the southeast corner of Val Vista Drive and Pecos Road along Market street.
Gilbert planning staff said the 12.27-acre parcel lies in the town’s Central 202 Core Growth Area and the development will consist of three buildings comprising a total 461,344 square feet.
At a Gilbert Planning Commission study session on May 7, commissioners gave town staff input about the proposed design for the site.
Developer Gilbert Growth Properties, LLC has already sought to change the land use classification from Regional Commercial to Residential with 20-25 dwelling units per acre, along with a rezoning request from Regional Commercial to Mixed Use Large.
The panel reviewed this request at an earlier study session in April, with some commissioners expressing concerns that the commercial portion of the development should represent a higher percentage in the total floor area.
