| Text of Petition: October 2003 |
We
oppose any large retail or “big box” store
such as a Wal-Mart, being built on the South-East
corner of Gilbert and Warner Roads.
We ask that the Town of Gilbert uphold the existing
ordinances, specifically Ordinances 617 and 725, which
prohibit the construction of "neighborhood center
anchors such as large grocery or drug stores"
and "drive-in restaurants” in this area.
These Ordinances clearly outline the use and design
for the development of the property to be a "pedestrian-oriented
civic and retail mall" – a community scale
destination spot oriented around Civic Center functions
with mixed-use municipal and civic core areas.
This petition declares our support for upholding the
use & design specifications of Ordinances 617
& 725, and declares our opposition to large-scale
retail on property originally designed to be a Town
of Gilbert civic core. |
Thank
you for you support.
