Z-68-25-3, SUNNYSLOPE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 9317 N 2ND ST AGENDA ITEM #6, PUBLIC HEARING FOR REZONING APPLICATION NO. Z-71-25-3, PEDRO’S MEXICAN FOOD 524 W HATCHER RD These two buildings hold deep cultural, historical, and architectural significance for our neighborhood and for the greater Phoenix community. Pedro’s Mexican Food has long been more than a dining establishment, it is a landmark of local heritage. For decades, it has served as a gathering place where generations of families have celebrated milestones, shared stories, and passed on traditions. The building itself reflects the architectural character of its era and stands as a reminder of our city’s rich culinary and cultural history. This building has been refurbished and preserved in recent years by The Eye Opener, and they support local nonprofit and community groups. Sunnyslope Presbyterian Church has been an anchor for education and community connection. Its historic architecture and role in fostering lifelong learning have made it an invaluable resource for residents of all ages. Preserving this building honors the educators, students, and programs that have shaped our community’s growth and spirit. Granting these properties historic designation will ensure that future generations can continue to experience and learn from these cornerstones of our shared history. Their preservation is not just about maintaining structures, it is about safeguarding the identity, pride, and continuity of our community. Thank you for your time, consideration, and commitment to preserving our community’s heritage.

How many people attended that Church. How many people and kids from Sunnyslope high school ate at the Eye Opener ( Pedro's ). Many buildings have already been destroyed in Sunnyslope and Phoenix. We are losing our history. I have lived in the valley for over seventy years. It's too bad we are losing the little history we have. Thank you Danny Shepard
