Neighbors and others have gotten the word. Now we’re delivering it to you, so that you can get involved.

The very controversial, but city-council-approved, project to develop a gas station and retail establishment on the northwest corner of Pima Road and Dynamite Boulevard, both Scottsdale Scenic Corridors, is moving forward.   As expected by the city, the property owner is holding a “Neighborhood Meeting” to present information about the project to interested residents. The meeting is open to the public.

Wednesday, November 2, at 6 p.m.
Copper Ridge School: Cafeteria
10101 E. Thompson Peak Parkway (see map below)

As the project moves forward, the only sure way for residents to protect their interests and ensure developer promises are kept is to learn, remain vigilant, and when necessary speak out.

  1. This development represents the first major zoning amendment approved by the Scottsdale
    City Council for commercial construction next to rural zoned land and sets a precedent
    for such commercial development in North Scottsdale. Both the Planning Commission and
    members of the City Council praised
    the design of the project as another worthy creation by architect Vernon Swaback who also has been
    commissioned to design the proposed Desert Discovery Center within the Macdowell Sonoran
    Preserve. I see nothing so worthy of such praise in this design and believe that the
    architect’s name on the project was enlisted to gain approval for the gas station for
    which the owner of the land is now requesting a conditional permit. This Project faced
    strong opposition by residents in the area, but was approved nevertheless.
