Commission clarifies Sparrow Court abandonment condition for Gilbert Gateway Commerce Park
Summary
Applicant requested a change to a condition of approval clarifying that only the cul‑de‑sac portion of Sparrow Court is to be abandoned (per ordinance 2950) and that the abandonment must be completed before building permits are issued. The commission approved the amended condition 7‑0.
At a public hearing the commission considered a modification to Condition 3 for the Gilbert Gateway Commerce Park approval. Applicant Keith Newman requested the condition be clarified to state that only the cul‑de‑sac portion of Sparrow Court (the hatched portion shown in applicant materials) is to be abandoned — consistent with the council‑approved zoning ordinance (ordinance 29 50) — rather than implying abandonment of the entire Sparrow Court right‑of‑way. The applicant asked that abandonment be required before building permit issuance.
Staff and engineering described the procedural steps: the owner must submit a right‑of‑way abandonment application and engineering/CD review with the town before permits can be issued; the portion of the right‑of‑way providing secondary access to an adjacent storage facility will remain as public right‑of‑way. Commissioners clarified the scope of the abandonment request and accepted the applicant’s revised condition language.
The commission approved the project subject to the clarified condition (only the cul‑de‑sac abandoned per ordinance 29 50 and completed prior to building permits). The motion carried 7‑0.
