A New Vision for the Site
Previously zoned for high-density multi-family housing, the Sheffield Place proposal seeks to rezone the area to Single-Family Detached (SF-D) with a Planned Area Development (PAD) overlay. The change would allow for a reduced density of 6.2 dwelling units per acre, providing 4,000–5,000 square-foot lots perfect for families seeking high-quality, for-sale homes in Gilbert.
Community Features and Design
The neighborhood design is centered around creating a welcoming and functional environment:
- Amenities: Residents will enjoy a centrally located tot-lot with a ramada, open green spaces, and landscaped retention areas that promote both active and passive recreation.
- Gated Community: Private streets with a single entry point enhance safety and exclusivity.
- Architectural Appeal: Homes are designed to integrate seamlessly into the surrounding neighborhoods, with drought-tolerant landscaping and high-quality materials maintaining Gilbert’s attractive aesthetic.
Balancing Growth with Community Needs
This proposal represents a thoughtful shift from a previously approved 102-unit rental community to single-family housing that better aligns with current market demands. By reducing density and focusing on owner-occupied residences, Sheffield Place will offer a harmonious transition between higher-density developments to the north and existing single-family neighborhoods to the south and west.
