Staff Recommendation: 
Approval, subject to stipulations 
The South Mountain Village Planning Committee heard this rezoning request on May 
12, 2020 and voted 13-0 to continue the case to the June 9, 2020 South Mountain 
Village Planning Committee meeting, in agreement with the applicant. The case was 
also continued at the June 4, 2020 Planning Commission hearing in order to allow the 
applicant to seek a recommendation from the South Mountain Village Planning 
Committee. 
As a result of ongoing discussions with the community, the applicant has provided an 
updated site plan. The updated site plan incorporates changes to the layout of Buildings 
6, 7 and 8 originally presented in Addendum A. Buildings 7 and 8 were merged into one 
building, now shown as Building 7, which resulted in an increased setback to the 
western property line adjacent to the R1-6 Single-Family Zoning District from 90 feet to 
118 feet. Building 6 was extended west with a proposed height of 2 stories and 30 feet 
for a portion to the west and 3 stories and 39 feet on the remaining portion to the east. 
The height of the proposed Building 7 is 3 stories and 39 feet. Other changes that

addition of a new open space area to the west of Building 7.  
 
Due to these changes, the following stipulations are recommended to be modified: 
 
• Stipulation No. 1 regarding general conformance with the revised site plan; 
• Stipulation No. 2 regarding the maximum allowed building height in feet and

The Arizona Housing Coalition is the largest housing stability advocacy organization in the State, 
with over 200 member organizations.  We represent thousands of individuals, non-profits, and 
organizations of all sizes who want to bring more affordable housing and an end to homelessness in 
Arizona.  We work to create an Arizona where housing stability is universal, and every man, woman, 
child and veteran has a safe affordable place to call home. 
 
With our mission and vision in mind, we would like to voice our support for the re-zoning and 
development of the proposed affordable housing opportunity known as Vista Ridge Apartments at 
the Northwest corner of W. Southern and S. 19th Avenues, in Phoenix.  We believe that Dominium’s 
goal to provide quality, stable and long term affordable housing to South Phoenix directly aligns 
with the goals of the Arizona Housing Coalition, and encourage all involved to help to be an 
advocate for affordable housing, rather than an obstacle. 
 
 As such, please accept this letter of support on behalf of the Arizona Housing Coalition. 
 
Sincerely,

TO:  Dominium Inc. 
 
RE:  Letter of Support for the Vista Ridge Apartmetns at 19th avenue and Southern 
 
TigerMountain Foundation, a South Phoenix-based nonprofit corporation, is pleased to submit this letter of 
support for Dominium’s proposed 300+ unit affordable housing multi-family residential project to be located at 
19th Avenue and Southern Avenue within the South Mountain Village. 
 
TigerMountain Foundation seeks to empower the people of South Phoenix by building flourishing community 
gardens and through our multi-ethnic and inter-generational Garden and Landscape/Agriscaping Initiatives we 
mentor participants through an active and healthy eating lifestyle, a Personal Strategy Roadmap that encourages 
goal completion and transitions folks into workforce development skills that prepare them to earn a living wage. 
  
In partnership with several local and national partners, we have implemented two (2) community gardens within 
the South Mountain Village; (i) Spaces of Opportunity located at Vineyard Road and 15th Avenue; and, (ii) 
Garden of Tomorrow located at 18th Place and Broadway Road. Among other objectives, these gardens seek to 
provide healthy, affordable, accessible food and promote the diverse South Mountain Village culture. 
 
We have had an opportunity to meet with the applicant and to learn about the proposed project, which will 
include a community garden. In addition to all of the objectives that our organization would seek to achieve (i.e. 
access to healthy food), the proposed community garden amenity is a unique opportunity.  This will provide the 
project residents with a central and meaningful gathering place that encourages a sense of community and pride. 
Through our joint partnership and unique private development meets nonprofit organization concept, we know 
this can be a “Best practice” model for other future development to follow as well. 
 
In summary, the proposed community garden provides a unique opportunity to instill a sense of place, create 
meaningful access to healthy food and promote active lifestyles. The goals for the Dominium community 
garden are well aligned with our goals and objectives for the larger South Phoenix community. We believe that 
this project will not only be a great addition to the South Mountain Village but that there is a great opportunity 
for other partnerships to join and align and strengthen the overall community. 
 
For these reasons, we strongly support the project. Thank you for your time and consideration of this letter and 
please feel free to contact me should you have any questions.

South Mountain Village Committee 
Re: Application Case No. Z-49-19-8 
 
This letter is in response to concerns realized after the meeting on May 12, 2020 of the South Mountain Village 
Committee. We are still in OPPOSITION to the building of a 312 unit 3 story Apartment complex at the Northwest corner 
of 19th Avenue and southern by Dominium. This property defined as an affordable multifamily residential community is 
not a welcome addition to this already established community. 
It is very apparent from the information shared in the meeting that the developer is on a time schedule and is more 
concerned about the profits to be lost if the deal is not completed soon. Also, it is apparent that there is little flexibility 
for Dominium in making the project more conducive to fitting into our community by making the builds one or two 
story. He said, it doesn’t meet their profitability model.  
We do not believe that Dominium has made a true and sincere effort to interact with the residents and to truly act upon 
the issues the residents have with the project. The idea of making one building two stories tall out of the other 10 to 12 
units is ridiculous. When you take into account the sheer size of the project it just does not mesh into the continuity of 
this community. This is neighborhood and the surrounding neighborhoods are single family homes. We like the feel of 
the openness of our community. There have got to be better options for the use of this property that would more ideally 
fit the nature of this area. Nothing in the area from Central avenue on the east to 35th avenue on the west, Baseline road 
on the south and Broadway road on the north, reflect this type of proposed property at all. 
Additionally, the community has some concerns that we would like to have addressed. 
The Developer also should provide a crime report for the area (1 to 5mile radius)? 
 
What businesses in the area have they spoke with and gotten support from? Please provide letters. 
 
Developer stated he spoke with the community going door to door; please provide dates and number of residents they 
had DIRECT contact with. 
 
Research by our neighbor suggests Dominium has Characteristics not appropriate for our neighborhood. 
  
●Discriminatory Practices 
● Civil Right infringements  
● Rent Hikes contrary to stated agreements 
●Landlord/Slumlord Practices 
● Employee discriminatory Practices 
● Unseemly Federal, State and County Tax Practices 
 
South Mountain Village Committee, we would really appreciate looking into this information and getting to know more 
about Dominium. However, the OPPOSITION to this project still stands. 
 
Sincerely, 
 
Lindo Park community

Village Planning Committee meeting on June 9, 2020 for Case Number: Z-49-19-8;
Dominium Development.
Here's my following questions:
1. I have been doing research and pulling information about Dominium
Development/Management they have these practices that have come across there properties
across the nation.
"DOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT CHARACTERISTICS IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR OUR
NEIGHBORHOOD. HERE'S SOME ITEMS OF CONCERNS":
● Discrimination Practices
● Civil Rights Practices
● Maintenance Practices
● Rent Hike Practices
● Employee Practices
● Landlord Practices
● Community Practices
● Zoning Practices
● Disabilities Practices
● Tax Payer Practices
2. I have done my research on the Parent Company being Dominium Development Practices
they don't seem to adhere of staying in the parameters of the HUD Grant.
● It's evidence upon research is contrary Rent Hikes Practices after tenants SIGNS there lease
agreements. From research Practices exhibit at other locations do what you day yours
statements is not consistent the information have found. This is not acceptable!!!
What Guarantee We Will Not Have Theses Practices?

RE: Three-story low-income apartment at 19th Ave and Southern 
 
Mr. Bojorquez-Gaxiola: 
 
I am a retired Arizona State Trooper, after serving forty years protecting the citizens of Arizona.  Suze is retired 
from Wells Fargo bank.  My wife and I had our forever home built in south Phoenix, which we have lived in 
since 2004.  I am sending you this correspondence asking that you vote against approving another low-income 
building in our neighborhood.  Each time one of the aforementioned dwellings are approved/built it results in 
decreased property values of single family housing in the area.  Many of us living in our community are 
attempting to preserve our quality of life here. 
 
Thank you for taking the time to read this correspondence, 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Dave Schroder

I hope all is well in this challenging time. I am submitting to you my questions for the South Mountain Village Planning 
Committee meeting on June 9, 2020 for Case Number: Z‐49‐19‐8; Dominium Development.   
 
My question is: 
 
I would like to hear from each of the board members of how they arrived at a decision to approve this project. Would 
you approve this project if it was proposed to be in your backyard, considering its size and being a lone structure of its 
type in this community? 
 
I still stand in opposition to this project after having reviewed the changes they are proposing. A two story complex may 
be acceptable. but three stories is a deal breaker for me completely. 
 
I hope and pray you are having a great day and look forward to seeing you all tomorrow and hearing your answers. 
 
Sincerely,

Low Income Apartments at 19th & Southern Ave.

Hello Enrique Bojorquez- Gaxiola. My name is John Chambers and I am a native Phoenician. I
have lived near 23rd Ave and Vineyard Rd for almost 18 years. I Love the area and the
mountain views. However, I am very disappointed with so many of the building projects that
the city has allowed in our area, which are not for the good of our community. If you haven't
noticed, there are far too many Liquor Stores, Junkyards and many Industrial and Commercial
businesses, from Buckeye Rd to Broadway. I was hoping that eventually some of that would go
away and work to Beautify our Community, would begin. Just look near Tempe Town lake. It
looks like another World.  We are going to lose some of the established businesses on south
Central Ave, due to the reduction of Traffic Lanes from 4 to 2, just accommodate the Light
Rail. I Voted for this project, until they decided on that bad idea, of only 2-Lanes.
It seems the City of Phoenix is giving Building Permits to almost any group that wants one. We
have an Over Abundance of Charter Schools. (Enough Already! ) Too many Family Dollar &
General Dollar, Circle K & Quik Trip Stores, Storage Facilities, Carwashes and Fast Food
Restaurants are in our area. There are still No Costco, Sam's Club, Smart & Final, Red Lobster,
Olive Garden, Texas Road House, !st Watch, Cracker Barrel or Denny's. There's No IHOP, US
Post Office, a Fry's Grocery Store and Medical Center in my zip code 85041. 
Things that we certainly Need. That's where the city has failed us. There are a sufficient
number of Pharmacies. Yet there is not One Regional Hospital or Medical Center, East of
51stAve and west of 48th St, south of the Maricopa County Hospital, on Roosevelt St. That is
approximately 100 square miles and some 200,000 people, who cannot get to a Hospital,
without going thru downtown traffic. This is not safe!  With all of the businesses, Light Rail and
car traffic in the downtown area. How many Lives have been lost because there are not any
Medical Centers with a Trauma Unit, in the South Mountain Community? These things are far
more Important and a real need. Low Income Apartment Units are not an essential thing in
our area. We need the City of Phoenix to help Build us up and not continue to take us in the
wrong direction. We Deserve Better.
Thank You,
John Chambers
