Highlights
- The owner of 9021 E Sierra Pinta Drive has asked Scottsdale to abandon a 25-foot roadway easement on the property's northern boundary.
- The parcel carries R1-35 ESL zoning, meaning any easement change is subject to environmentally sensitive lands overlay review.
- Staff contact Jason Katz and applicant contact Treg Day are listed on case 4-AB-2025, set for the Sept. 9 Planning Commission hearing.
- The owner must dedicate property interests to the city if required as a condition of the abandonment.
The owner of a single-family parcel at 9021 E Sierra Pinta Drive has asked the city of Scottsdale to abandon a 25-foot roadway easement running along the property's northern boundary, according to a Sept. 9 Planning Commission agenda.
The request, filed as case 4-AB-2025, covers a parcel zoned Single-family Residential Environmentally Sensitive Lands Overlay (R1-35 ESL). That designation subjects the site to additional review standards tied to natural terrain and vegetation preservation, which apply to the easement change alongside standard abandonment procedures.
As a condition of the abandonment, the owner would be required to dedicate property interests to the city of Scottsdale if the city determines such dedication is necessary.
What does an easement abandonment mean for the property?
When the city abandons a roadway easement, it relinquishes its claim to use that strip of land for public road purposes, and the underlying property rights revert to the adjacent owner. For a residential parcel, removing a 25-foot roadway easement along a boundary line can expand the buildable or usable area of the lot, affect setback calculations, or clear title for a sale or refinancing.
Applicant contact Treg Day (602-377-9060) is listed as the representative on the case. City staff contact is Jason Katz in the Planning and Development department (480-312-2542).
The Planning Commission is scheduled to hear case 4-AB-2025 at its regular meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2026.
