Community Announcement

Salam Alykum dear ICC Community,

We want to keep you informed about an important development happening near the ICC. A new 29-story, 800+ unit building is being planned on the west and south sides of the ICC, which will replace the current church building, parking lot, and the Tricks restaurant. This new construction will have significant implications for the surrounding area and for the ICCs operations.

Key Information:

  • Zoning Information: Zoning information boards are now posted on both 7th Street and 5th Street. A copy of the board is included in the attached picture for your reference.

  • Neighborhood Meeting: The developer has scheduled a neighborhood meeting on Tuesday, January 7, from 6 to 9 pm at the Westin Hotel in Tempe. All community members are invited to attend and learn more about the project.

  • Impact on ICC Operations: The new high-rise development will drastically affect the ICCs operations almost 24/7, and the impact will be significant.

  • ICCs Evaluation Committee: In response to the proposed development, ICC has formed a committee to evaluate the impacts of the new building. This committee is made up of:

    • One attorney
    • Three architects
    • One civil engineer
    • The ICC Operations Director
    • The ICC Board of Directors (BOD) Chairman

    The committee has been working diligently on this evaluation for over two years.

  • Zoning Committee Update: The ICC Zoning Committee will be providing an update to the community this Sunday at 1 pm, immediately following the Dhuhr prayer. This will be an important meeting to learn more about the ongoing efforts and discussions.

We encourage all community members to attend the ICC Zoning Committee meeting this Sunday at 1 pm and the developers neighborhood meeting at the Westin on January 7 at 6 pm to stay informed and have your voices heard.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. We look forward to seeing you at the upcoming meetings.

Warm regards,
The ICC Board of Directors
