Neighborhood Meeting For Parcel C

Monday, Oct. 12 | 4 p.m.

Hampton Inn



The Town has received an application from SimonCRE proposing an amendment to the existing zoning approvals for Parcel C, a 4.18-acre property located along Cave Creek Road, north of the planned Craig’s Crossing development.


The request would allow retail, restaurant, and service station uses on the property while maintaining the existing Commercial (C) zoning and residential compatibility requirements established under the prior approval.


As part of the Town’s citizen participation process, the applicant is holding a neighborhood meeting on Monday, October 12 at 4 p.m. at the Carefree Hampton Inn (2 Easy Street). This meeting is open to the public and is solely intended for comments and discussion regarding the proposed rezoning of Parcel C.


While the parcel is located along the planned Craig's Crossing development, information and updates regarding the broader project WILL NOT be discussed at this meeting. This neighborhood meeting is specifically focused on the proposed rezoning of the 4.18-acre Parcel C.


Updates regarding the entire Craig's Crossing development project will be presented at a future Town Council meeting, which will be recorded and livestreamed for the public.


If you are unable to attend but would like additional information or to provide input, please contact Brett Friedman via phone (518-210-8523) or via email (brett.friedman@simoncre.com).
