GILBERT UNIFIED LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
technology industries and buffering strategies which are implemented to mitigate the impacts of
more intense employment uses, such as manufacturing and fabrication, on residential
neighborhoods.
In addition to the General Plan Land Use Goals, this Chapter supports the planning vision
represented among other Plan Elements. Community Design, for example, is furthered by
provisions which assure appropriate siting arrangements, property improvements and the Design
Review Board's function. The Open Space and Recreation Element suggests standards for
integrating leisure time amenities into the Town's land use pattern. Vehicular, bicycle, pedestrian
and equestrian policies pertaining to site development are directed by the
Circulation/Transportation Element.
Town of Gilbert responsibilities toward General Plan goals are further reflected in Elements
dedicated to: Public Facilities and Services; Economic Development; and Environmental
Management. The Plan's Growth Coordination Program, furthermore, establishes criteria for
capital improvements, annexation policy and other municipal programs which are to be
coordinated with Uniform Development Standards in this Code.
Land Use designation is the foundation for the Town of Gilbert land development guidance
system. It represents the bridge between the community expectations established by the General
Plan and the specifications for site improvement that are set forth in Code Chapter II, Development
Standards, and Chapter III, Improvement Details.
