stipulated, the development will add multifamily residential on the site at a scale that is 
compatible with the surrounding land uses and appropriate considering its location on 
two arterial streets. 
 
 
CONNECT PEOPLE AND PLACES; COMPLETE STREETS; DESIGN PRINCIPLE: 
In order to balance a more sustainable transportation system, development 
should be designed to include increased amenities for transit, pedestrian and 
bicyclists such as shade, water, seating, bus shelters, wider sidewalks, bike 
racks, pedestrian scale lighting and way-finding. 
 
The proposal, as stipulated, provides bicycle parking and bicycle repair stations (“fix-it 
station”) to increase bicycling as a viable means of transportation in the City of 
Phoenix. The site is also located at the junction of a major bus route on 19th Avenue 
and Southern Avenue and includes a shaded bus stop. The enhanced bicycle and 
pedestrian facilities integrated into the site plan will aide in the development of a more 
sustainable transportation system. 
 
 
CONNECT PEOPLE AND PLACES; OPPORTUNITY SITES; LAND USE 
PRINCIPLE: Support reasonable levels of increased intensity, respectful of local 
conditions and surrounding neighborhoods. 
 
The development, as stipulated, provides a reasonable level of intensity that is 
respectful to local conditions, surrounding neighborhoods, the presence of two arterial 
streets, and the proximity to employment centers, while mitigating potential impacts to 
the nearby single-family residential neighborhood with enhanced building plus 
landscape setbacks. 
 
 
BUILD THE SUSTAINABLE DESERT CITY CORE VALUE; TREES AND SHADE; 
DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Integrate trees and shade into the design of new 
development and redevelopment projects throughout Phoenix. 
 
The proposal, as stipulated, will be required to provide shade along the adjacent 
sidewalks, pedestrian paths connecting the development to adjacent streets and bus 
stop pad. This will help to encourage walking and to mitigate the urban heat island 
effect by covering hard surfaces, thus cooling the micro-climate around the project 
vicinity.

STUDIES AND POLICIES 
 
 
10. Tree and Shade Master Plan 
The Tree and Shade Master Plan encourages treating the urban forest as 
infrastructure to ensure the trees are an integral part of the City’s planning and 
development process. Sidewalks on the street frontages should be detached 
from the curbs to allow trees to be planted on both sides of the sidewalk to 
provide thermal comfort for pedestrians and to reduce the urban heat island 
effect. Staff is recommending several stipulations designed to provide trees and 
enhance shade within the development. 
 
Staff is recommending stipulations for shaded sidewalks along both street 
frontages. 
• All sidewalks shall be detached with a minimum five-foot wide landscape 
strip located between the sidewalk and back of curb (Stipulation No. 16). 
• Minimum 3-inch caliper large canopy, single-trunk, shade trees placed a 
minimum of 25 feet on center or equivalent groupings to provide shade to 
a minimum of 75 percent (Stipulation No. 16.a). 
• Drought tolerant vegetation designed to grow to a maximum mature 
height of 24 inches and achieve 75 percent live coverage (Stipulation No. 
16.b). 
 
 
11. Complete Streets Guidelines 
In 2014, the City of Phoenix City Council adopted the Complete Streets Guiding 
Principles. The principles are intended to promote improvements that provide an 
accessible, safe, connected transportation system to include all modes, such as 
bicycles, pedestrians, transit, and vehicles. This development will help to 
pedestrianize the immediate street frontages by incorporating shaded detached 
sidewalks to encourage walking. Furthermore, bicycle parking and bicycle repair 
stations addressed below, will be located within the development to facilitate the 
use of existing or planned bicycle lanes in the area. 
 
12. Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan 
The City of Phoenix adopted the Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan in 2014 to 
guide the development of its Bikeway System and supportive infrastructure. 
Bicycle lanes have been designed within the 19th Avenue and Southern Avenue 
corridors, however only the Southern Avenue bicycle lane has been constructed.

Staff Report: Z-49-19-8

Staff is recommending a stipulation to 
require bicycle parking on site in 
addition to several bicycle repair 
stations (“fix-it station”). This is 
addressed in Stipulation No. 17. 
 
A bicycle repair station (“fix-it station”) 
is vertical infrastructure which contains 
the necessary tools to make light to 
moderate repairs to bicycles. The 
station includes a repair stand and 
pump fixed to the ground, and standard 
repair tools connected to the station. 
Figure N. depicts an example of a 
repair station.

13. Rio Montaña Area Plan 
The Rio Montaña Area Plan,                     Figure O. Rio Montana Area Plan 
depicted in Figure O., is designed 
 to encourage and preserve the rural, 
agricultural character of the area 
while promoting balanced, high 
quality development with special 
attention given to the streetscape. 
The Rio Montaña Area Plan intended 
to accomplish this goal by promoting 
a density transition between the 
higher density northern portions and 
lower density southern portions of the          
area plan boundaries. This project,          Source: Planning and Development Department  
located along the northern boundary 
of this area plan would be located in an area envisioned for higher density 
development. 
 
In terms of neighborhood design, this plan envisioned tree-lined neighborhood 
streets to provide shade for pedestrians and enhance the streetscape. Special 
design guidelines encourage developments to incorporate pedestrian-friendly 
design features to encourage walking and the use of alternative transportation 
options that exist in the Rio Montaña community. The proposed project will 
incorporate pedestrian-friendly streetscape design through the use of detached 
shaded sidewalks with pedestrian seating nodes, in addition to incorporating

bicycle amenities. 
 
 
14. Reimagine Phoenix 
As part of the Reimagine Phoenix Initiative, the City of Phoenix is committed to 
increasing the waste diversion rate to 40 percent by 2020 and to better manage 
its solid waste resources. This facility will incorporate a dedicated communal 
recycling facility along the southwest of the project to help the city in furthering 
waste diversion goals. 
 
 
COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY 
15. As of the writing of this report, staff had received fifteen separate letters from 
thirteen individuals in opposition and one letter was received in support to this 
rezoning application. The letters in opposition cited concerns with the proposed 
zoning district, land use designation, increased traffic, proposed height of 
buildings, increase crime, the impact to existing infrastructure, neighborhood 
notification process and the location of the proposed land use, among other 
concerns. The letter in support cited an abundance of existing commercial 
properties in the area. 
 
 
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 
16. The Fire Department indicated there are no problems anticipated with the case 
and that the site and/or buildings shall comply with the Phoenix Fire Code. 
Further, the Department commented that they do not know the water supply at 
this site and noted that additional water supply may be required to meet the 
required fire flow per the Phoenix Fire Code. 
 
 
17. The Transit Department commented that they shall require the retention of right-
of-way and bus pad. This is reflected in Stipulation No. 21. Further, the Public 
Transit Department expressed the importance of direct, clearly defined 
accessible, and well shaded pedestrian pathways on the site. The pathways 
should connect the public sidewalks, the bus stops, all site amenities, and 
building entrances/exits; this is reflected in Stipulation Nos. 12.e. 
 
 
18. The Aviation Department requires that the property owner record a Notice to 
Prospective Purchasers of Proximity to Airport in order to disclose the existence, 
and operational characteristics of City of Phoenix Sky Harbor International 
Airport (PHX) to future owners or tenants of the property. In addition, the 
developer shall submit Form 7460 to the FAA to receive a “No Hazard” 
determination by the FAA prior to final site plan approval. These are addressed 
in Stipulation Nos. 20 and 21. 
 
 
19. The site is located in a larger area identified as being archaeologically sensitive.

Staff Report: Z-49-19-8 
May 6, 2020 
Page 14 of 19 
 
 
 
 
If further review by the City of Phoenix Archaeology Office determines the site 
and immediate area to be archaeologically sensitive, and if no previous 
archaeological projects have been conducted within this project area, it is 
recommended that archaeological Phase I data testing of this area be 
conducted. Phase II archaeological data recovery excavations may be necessary 
based upon the results of the testing. A qualified archaeologist must make this 
determination in consultation with the City of Phoenix Archaeologist. In the event 
archaeological materials are encountered during construction, all ground 
disturbing activities must cease within a 33-foot radius of the discovery and the 
City of Phoenix Archaeology Office must be notified immediately and allowed 
time to properly assess the materials. This is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 23 
through 25.

Case No. Z-49-19-8 DISAGREE/OPPOSED
Date:
Monday, May 4, 2020 11:46:13 AM
It has come to my attention that there is an intent to build an apartment complex at 19th Ave and Southern behind
my neighborhood.  I believe it is in reference to case number Z-49-19-8 submitted by Dominium Development &
Acquistion.
I am sending this email to let you know that as a resident of the neighborhood adjacent to this property, I am
opposed to this complex being built.  I have been expecting that there would be commericial retail development that
would bring economic prosperity to our community.
The addition of this complex would increase traffic and potentially increase crime in our community.  Additionally,
it will intrude on our privacy in our backyard and will obstruct the views of the south mountain range, downtown
Phoenix and the mountains that are the skyline of Phoenix.  Having this views and the privacy help make my
decision to live in this community many years ago.
I appreciate your hearing my concerns and opposition.

Request to deny Application of Rezoning for Case No. Z-49-19-8
Date:
Thursday, March 12, 2020 3:25:26 PM
Good day,
 This letter is being submitted on the behalf of the residents of our community,
concerning (Case No. Z-49-19-8). This was filed August 26, 2019 with the city of
Phoenix.
 In September it came to our attention that Dominium Inc., was interested in
purchasing and developing the parcel of land at 19th Avenue and Southern; DSD#:
19-1612, Q.S MAP: 3-24, Zoning Map: D-7, Council District 8, Filing Staff: 076885.
This parcel sits directly behind many of our neighbor’s homes.
At the September meeting and the subsequent meeting in February they laid out the
proposal for the Apartment complex to be erected at the site. Then as now with this
letter we have and do voice that we do not agree with the approval for this
development to go forward. We deny fully the approval of this project.
We are in agreement with the parcel remaining a Planned Shopping Center (PSC)
district and not be rezoned to Commercial (C-2) with a height waiver or a Density
waiver.
We fully intend to be present all meetings going forward to voice our concerns and
continue to advocate for commercial development as always intended.
We are forwarding this letter to our district 8 council member, City of Phoenix officials
and the South Mountain VPC board members.
We look forward to further working on this issue.
Sincerely,

From:
Samantha Keating

Dear Samantha Keating:
 
I am a long-time resident of our City, and 50 years in The Lindo Park Community. I am writing to
express my concerns about a pending decision to amend the zoning ordinance for land near my
home, specifically number Z-49-19.
 
According to the information received via mail, the request is to build over 300 affordable multi-
family residences. My concerns of my neighbors, which have also signed this letter, (will give copies

of signatures at the meeting on September 11, 2019)are as follows:
 
1. School zone; Basis Primary South will be directly front of the multi affordable housing project.
 
2. Over the past 10 years, the population has more than doubled with all the new homes that were
built in South Mountain Village, and this increased density has not been addressed with expansion of
new roads.
 
3. This has caused additional wear and tear on infrastructure in the historical neighborhoods. We
currently have vehicles cutting through our neighborhoods to avoid traffic, which has made it more
dangerous for pedestrians, school aged children and accidents has increased in the area.
 
4. Traffic is now backed up for miles from 19th Ave to 51st Avenue and Southern. This is our nee
normal Mondsy through Friday, from 5am to 10 am and then again in the evening from 3p to 8p.
 
5. Majority of The Lindo Park Community did not recieved a letter from Gammage & Burnham, PLC ,
Attorney at Law for the Case No., Z-49-19.
 
6. There currently exist a multi-family apartment complex on the northeast corner of 19th Avenue
and Hidalgo Avenue.
 
The preference, at this point, is to keep the zoning as is, and bring jobs into the neighborhood to
stimulate additional economic development.
 
Thank you for your time.

Oppose Case No. Z-49-19-8
Date:
Saturday, May 2, 2020 12:31:37 PM
To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Audria Nunley, I have been Lindo Park Community members for the past 58
years. I live adjacent to this property located 19th Ave & Southern. I am
OPPOSING/DISAGREE the rezoning for this property for several reasons and concerns:
1. Commerical Zoning is needed for Economic Development for The Community.
2. Community donot need a height Variance approved for three story.
3. The development will not have adequate parking (Each unit would only have space for 1.75
cars).
4. Cars can only turn right and go West Bound on Southern Ave, (To go Eastbound on
Southern Ave they will have to cut through our neighborhood, We already have cut through
high traffic coming through our community, we do not more.
5. Primary schools are near by, concerned about the children getting on the several bus stops
in the area, I have personally witness several accidents where children has been a fatally due
to heavy traffic now (19th Ave & Southern Ave all four corners and 19th ave to 23rd ave &
Hidalgo Ave).
6. There is no Guarantee they will keep up the maintenance of the property (Look at the
properties West of this parcel).
7.  I want my tax dollars to go to Economic Impact for our Community, not apartment
complex on tax credit dollars that will not impact Community but impact the Developers,
Property owners, Etc.,
8. Basically home taxes and other taxes will increase. Disadvantage to Our Community.
I oppose the rezoning of this property for all above reasons. Our major goal for Lindo Park
Community is to Grow with Economic Development for all people.
Thank you,
Audria Nunley

To whom it may concern:
My name is Deshaun.  It has come to my attention that there is an intent to build an apartment complex at
19th Avenue and Southern behind my neighborhood.  It is in reference to case number Z-49-19-8
submitted by Dominium Development & Acquisition.  
I am sending this letter to let you know that as a 48 year resident of the neighborhood adjacent to this
property, I am opposed to this complex being built.  I have been expecting that there would be
commercial retail development that would bring economic prosperity to the area helping the existing
conditions of our community.
The addition of this complex would further increase traffic and crime in this community.  In addition, it will
intrude on some resident's privacy in their backyards as well as interfere with skyline views of downtown
Phoenix and the nearby mountains that are tourist landmarks of the city of Phoenix.
I appreciate you hearing my concerns and opposition to the case in matter.
Sincerely,
Deshaun

Case No. Z-49-19-8 I Opposed this rezoning, This email is sent for Mr. Dave Reagan.

Sunday, May 3, 2020 1:24:44 PM
To Whom it May Concern:
I am sending this email on behalf of Mr. Dave Regan due to he donot have an email address
and not interested in having one.
Last October 2019 it was brought to my attention DominiumDevelopment & Aquisition
request rezoning from residential to Commerical for apartments on 19th ave and Southern
Ave, Case No. Z-49-19-8.
I expressed my concern  to developer and the law firm of Gammage & Burnham, PLC in our
first information meeting in October 2019, that I will be opposing this rezoning.
Commerical retail Development is needed more for this community. The variance will
definitely take away some resident's privacy, more cut through traffic, more crime, higher
property taxes.
Thank you, for your time and hearing my concerns and my opposition.
Best regards,
Mr. Dave Reagan

Case No Z-49-19-8 DISAGREE/OPPOSE
Date:
Friday, May 1, 2020 4:58:48 PM
I am writing this email to oppose the apartment complex that Dominion Development &
Acquisition intends to build on the northwest corner of 19th Avenue and Southern.  
I've attended meetings with community members and the developers and find it quite
disturbing that despite the passionate opposition from community members, developers
continue to push their agenda.  Personally, I oppose the complex because it does not serve
community members. Some reasons include: Our property values will decrease, we'll lose our
privacy since the apartments will be able to see into our yards from higher levels, and we do
not know the population that this complex will attract.  In spite of possible background and
criminal checks, no one can, without doubt, speak on a person's character or intent until
actual face to face interaction throughout time.   
furthermore, community members have already voiced their desire to have the land used for
commercial use, ie grocery stores, restaurants etc.  It's disgusting to hear that developers
continue to ignore the community for their financial gain.  I've spoken to Rob Lane who
represents Dominion Development and I expressed to him my frustrations and explained that
it boils down to money.  He shared that the developers have other properties in Phoenix and
elsewhere and I suggested that the developers should continue to look elsewhere.  
It is my prayer that we, community members, who make this neighborhood what it is; strong,
passionate, diverse, and Beautiful, WIN.  This is a battle, the developers and their blatant
disregard for our opinions and voices have made it as such.  My hope is that if a change is on
our horizon, that it empowers and serves us, whether it be by providing jobs or just a sense of
safety and ownership.  I know that the change from this complex will not be what we need,
but just another way of seeing how dysfunctional and money hungry this world is.  And with
that reality, may God Help Us All.

Dear Mr. Enrique and South Mountain Village Committee
My name is Joyce Cooper. I've been a resident of the Linda Park Community for about 50 years now.  I
am opposing/disagreeing on this Rezoning  on 19th Avenue & Southern NW Corner. Case #Z-49-19-8.
ABSOLUTELY NO FOR APARTMENTS OR ANY THING ELSE ON THAT CORNER.  It will intrude on
some resident's privacy in their back yards and views of the south mountain range. It's a very beautiful
sight to look at every day. It would be sad to lose that. 
Thank You
Sincerely,
Joyce Cooper

My name is Julia Cooper and I've been a resident here of the Linda Park Community since 1970.  I'm concerned about the Case # Z-49-
19-8. I am opposing/disagreeing this rezoning. The parcel on 19th Avenue & Southern NW Corner.  This will create a lot more
traffic/accidents on southern. Every time traffic is backed up the cars start cutting through the neighborhoods speeding not being
cautious. We also have school buses that pickup/drop off kids. Don't want any apartments or commercial property built on this NW
Corner of 19th Avenue & Southern,.
Thank you

Sending You What I Wanted To Say A Few words About Z-49-19-8
Date:
Monday, May 4, 2020 8:32:07 PM
Hi Enrique,
I wanted to express my concerns  with you  concerning Z-49-19-8 -the property being rezoned
@ 19th Avenue and Southern. I also  wanted to express my concerns about the height of the
apartment and the units that they are putting on the property. I had also express this  concern
with the developer Eric Omadahl  letting him know that I was not for the 3 story height. I
explain to him that it would interfere with houses view  that face the apartments,as well as
causing a great amount of traffic. We have the traffic that come down 21st ave and  Southern
where the apartment would be coming out of . The apartment members and the Lindo Park
community  would be sharing the same street entrance, and traffic around 6:00 am -5:00 pm is
a mess on Southern.
You will have to have a traffic study at the 21st. Ave  and Southern Entrance. I already have
two two story  apartment at 22nd Ave. and Southern. And there is a Gated two apartments at
19th Avenue but we do not have any 3 story gated apartment in our area. we wanted to keep
just the 2 story  apartments in our area.
Thank You ,

Case No. z-49-19-8 Oppose
Date:
Sunday, May 3, 2020 11:24:37 AM
To whom this may concern,
I am writing in order to oppose the building of the apartment complex at 19th Avenue and Southern
behind my neighborhood. It is in reference to case number Z-49-19-8 submitted by Dominium
Development & Acquisition.
I am sending this letter as a resident of the neighborhood adjacent to this property. I oppose to this
apartment complex being built. I understand that there would be commercial retail development that
would bring economic prosperity to our community. Those economic prosperity developments should be
family oriented places that families can get together to learn and grow. 
Also, this development would  increase traffic and potential crime. In order to eliminate crime we need to
give our community developments that will move this community in a positive direction and building yet
another apartment building is not one. We need more places where people can learn and discover, where
our kids can play safely and develop in ways that will make them successful. We don't want to be boxed
in with the many apartment complexes that are being built.This high rise apartment building would also
take away the beautiful view of South Mountain which is the skyline of Phoenix.
Lastly, I feel at this time, during this pandemic when we have to social distance ourselves from another, it
is a disadvantage to the people in this community. Many of us may not be able to get online to attend this
meeting virtually due to not having the right software and just not understanding how to attend. This
should be decided once this pandemic passes and all that can attend will attend. Please take the time
and consider my concerns, me being a long time member of this community of over 40 years. This
community matters a great deal to me and my neighbors. 
Best Regards

I am in receipt of a letter from the legal counsel to Phoenix Leased Housing 
Associates an affiliate of Dominion Development & Acquisition regarding 
their plans to developer the property located at the NWC of Southern 
Avenue and 19th Avenue.  
  
My entity, JRH Investors, LLC, is the owner of an approximately 7,200 SF 
multi-tenant retail center due east of the subject property. My retail center is 
just east of the Walgreens & AutoZone and contains Little Caesars Pizza 
as well as 5 other retailers. We currently have one vacant space and we 
have found that leasing this center has been challenging.   
  
Furthermore, I have been a shopping center professional for the past 25+ 
years and currently operate a commercial real estate brokerage firm that 
focuses on the sale and leasing of retail properties. It is my opinion that in 
both the market that I work (Southern California’s Inland Empire) and the 
market where the subject property is located, that we have enough retail 
property. I believe that from a land use perspective, rezoning this property 
for 312 residential units will be a benefit to the overall trade area.

As a result, I support the proposed project. Should you have any questions, 
please feel free to contact me.
