Villages at Val Vista Residents concerned about property values and beauty of their community:

Please attend the public hearing on June 3rd at 6:00PM:
Gilbert Municipal Center Council Chambers, 50 East Civic Center Dr., Gilbert, AZ 85296

A General Plan Amendment has been submitted to change the land use classification of the vacant lot at the Southwest corner of Val Vista and Germann from SC (Shopping Center) to GC (General Commercial). Additionally, they seek to modify the site development regulations and change mandatory setback requirements. In this case, they seek to reduce the mandatory 75' setback down to 20' where buildings are adjacent to residential property (the buildings will be inappropriately close to our homes!).

This has serious implications. First, the change to General Commercial (GC) allows "more intense" use. The proposed storage facility unto itself creates an eyesore in our neighborhood - it simply doesn't fit. This will undoubtedly have an adverse effect on property values, in contrast to occupants complying with the original land use designation. Additionally, while they state a storage facility is planned, they could easily opt to change their mind with little consequence. Since the land has already been reclassified, any facility complying with "General Commercial" use could be implemented.

Please sign this petition and say "NO" to destroying our property values and decimating the beauty of our community!

I don not agree with the zoning change of SC to GC in regards to the SW corner of Val Vista and Germann Rd. The reduction in setbacks are protruding to close to the residential housing located in The Villages @ Val Vista. More than likely the plan for a storage facility within this property will have a border block wall with razar wire or barbed wire that will be a detractions to our community and property values.

I do not want this type of property at the end of my street. I live on Flamingo Way and this type of development would be a few hundred yards from my house.

Absolutely not! We live just around the corner from this and I don't want some "general commercial" eyesore setting up shop in my neighborhood.

I live on Flamingo as well and do not want to see this near my house.

NO! to the storage unit. Especially if they are going to use our side street as an exit entry point. No no no.
