The owner of a site where a controversial QuikTrip gas station would be located along the only way in or out of an Ahwatukee community has withdrawn a request for city review of some site plan changes, leaving it unclear whether the company has abandoned its plan.
The owner of a 3-acre plot at the corner of Cottonwood Way and 40th Street had sought city approval of some modifications to an original site plan that was approved in 2001, when the site was zoned C-2 commercial.
“The applicant withdrew the request for modifications so the case is closed,” said city Planning and Development Department spokeswoman Angie Holdsworth. “The applicant will be required to comply with the existing zoning for this site and the development review process.”
