Walmart is the latest retailer with plans for space in the Berge Destination at Gateway master-planned development near Signal Butte Road and State Route 24 in Mesa.
Walmart, Inc. submitted a pre-application to the City of Mesa March 27 with plans for a 171KSF store that will also feature an auto care center, fuel station and outdoor center. The company is requesting approvals for its site plan, design review, and special review permits for the fuel center and an on-site medical clinic.
The Walmart location will occupy 17.6 acres of the overall 144-acre Berge site.
According to the submitted pre-application narrative, “A unique feature of this Walmart store is the Online Delivery Pickup (ODP) area that is on the west end of the store. This area, dedicated to the pickup of online orders, features 30-foot-wide drive aisles, and stalls dedicated to the pickup area. Additionally, there are parking stalls and chargers dedicated to Walmart’s electric delivery vans. This smart placement of the pickup area will avoid vehicular conflicts between customers to the store and customers simply wishing to pick up an online order. There will be wayfinding signage to this area to allow for safe navigation through the parking areas.”
All the pre-submittal documents, including site plans for the store and the fuel center, are currently under review.
