Union Foothills Estates Question - Village Planning Committee Meeting 21 May 2020
Hi David, 
 
I own a home and 6.4 acres in this area and want to say that I could be in full support the support of the subdivision if I 
could see a plan for what they intend to do and if it will bring city services closer to our residences and may even help us 
get annexed into Phoenix so we can have city services and roads. Could this subdivision help get us annexed? 
 
Gratefully, 
Bryan Barrett

For all concerned:  This meeting, along with other near-term meetings, are being proposed as a “Virtual” 
meeting(s).  We are trying to fight this approach to satisfy the process because of the amount of community residences 
interested in this rezoning effort. 
  
I have attached the document we received from the CoP representative.  Please feel free to pass this on to any and all

Fwd: SUBJECT: NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING; DEER VALLEY VILLAGE PLANNING 
COMMITTEE MEETING ON 21 APRIL 2020
Hi David, 
 
I just want to share that, unlike some of my more vocal neighbors, I am in full support of the community development 
project on Deer Valley and 7th street as long as roads are improved and there’s beautification of the area.  
 
I’d love to see the city of Phoenix annex the Union Foothills estates. We are surrounded by the city of Phoenix and being 
a county island has drawbacks such as no access to city services like water and roads. My hope is this development 
brings us closer to having city services. 
 
Thanks, 
Bryan

The attached public notice provides the meeting guidelines for submissions to be submitted by e-mail 
no-later-than 48 hours (i.e., 6PM) on the 19th of April 2020.  It also states that they cannot consider any 
submissions less than 6 hours before the meeting start time. 
  
We received a number of inquiries from the community about submitting requests to speak at the Deer Valley 
Village Planning Committee virtual meeting scheduled for 21 May 2020.  We suggest that every residence 
needs to voice their concerns about the applicant’s submission identified in the following Public Notice topics: 
1. Item 5, GPA-DV-2-19-2 (Companion Case Z-37-19-2) is a Planned Unit Development (PUD) 
submission request to amend the General Plan Land Use Designation and allow the entire 156.96 
acres to be broken up into three (3) separate parcels. 
2. Item 6, Z-37-19-2 (Companion Case GPA-2-19-2) is a request to rezone the PUD Parcel 1 into a 
residential section.  They seem to be using the entire 156.96 acres the PUD has divided into three 
parcels and to justify the Parcel 1 (78.3 acres) density from the current 1 dwelling/acre to 2.0 to 3.5 
dwelling/acre which nearly equals the amount of dwellings as if there were no restrictions.

3
Again, please note that the item 5 and item 6 are Companion Cases, so we suggest you identify which of these 
your submission is addressing or state it is for both. 
1. Submit your written request to speak along with the subject and a brief description to David Simmons 
(davidsimmons@phoenix.gov) by 6PM on the 19th of April 2020.  However, they will consider 
submissions at least six (6) hours before the meeting time.  We suggest you include, as a “cc”, Dave 
Riley (driley7@msn.com [msn.com]), Robert Hanson (roberthanson1950@outlook.com [outlook.com]), 
and myself (va4613@msn.com) in the e-mail. 
2. Remember your submission should identify the specific topic of your submission.  If there are 
submissions with same subject the committee chair has the options to select one spokes-person for 
that subject.  As such, be specific in the topic subject you want to speak to. 
3. If you have any questions about the formalities of the meeting call David Simmons at 602-262-4072. 
  
We also suggest you include the following as “cc” precipitants  
mayor.gallego@phoenix.gov; nbarto@azleg.gov; John.allen@azleg.gov; julie.riemenschneider@phoenix.gov;

RE: 
Rezoning Case Z-61-19-2 - Embrey PUD Proposal 
 
Planning Commission Members,  
 
This letter is concerning the rezoning Case Z-61-19-2 (Embrey Project), which proposes to rezone the 
parcel located at 15826 N. Scottsdale Road. Lennar Multifamily Communities (LMC) is in support of this 
project.  
 
As some of you may be aware, LMC owns a 3.8 acre parcel that is currently under construction to the 
immediate west of the subject parcel. We are proud to be a part of the evolution that is taking place in 
Kierland and understand that the redevelopment of other properties in the area is an important part of 
Kierland’s growth and continued relevance.  
 
LMC previously communicated publicly at Monday’s Paradise Valley Village Planning Committee meeting 
that it was generally supportive of the redevelopment of the subject parcel but not in support of the project 
as currently proposed. 
 
After considering the results of the Village Planning Committee and subsequent discussions with Embrey 
and Nick Wood, LMC has determined that it would like to see this project approved and support the PUD 
application as it stands.  
 
For additional context, LMC regrets not getting involved with the applicant sooner in the process where 
some additional collaboration may have occurred and acknowledges that the applicant and Nick Wood 
contacted LMC during the process. Any additional initiative to discuss the details of the project should have 
come from LMC. 
 
Sincerely, 
 
 
 
Nate Stum 
Vice President, Development 
Lennar Multifamily Communities

Z-37-19-2 (Central Foothills PUD) (Companion Case GPA-DV-2-19-2)
Chairman and members of the Commission, 
 
My name is Matt Kenney and I’m reaching out in support of items 3 and 4 as a village member of the Deer Valley Village 
Planning Committee. 
 
We saw this case in front of us twice, once for informational and the second for a vote, and each time we saw the 
developer’s willingness to communicate with the neighboring county community through constant outreach via 
knocking doors in the community or trading emails and phone calls back and forth. From what we saw, the developer 
had made compromises with the community to ensure this development was something everyone could be comfortable 
with. No doubt when you’ve lived in an area for some time, it can be hard to see the surrounding properties change and 
develop. As the City of Phoenix continues to grow in population, our need for housing grows as well. The City has a 
severe lack of housing, so when a developer comes along and offers to not only provide additional housing in what 
appeared to be a well designed community, but also to supply millions in infrastructure costs to help make future 
annexations and developments possible for Phoenix’s continued growth, it was easy for vote yes on this project. 
 
As a member of the committee overseeing this village, I strongly ask that you all consider voting yes on this 
development. 
 
Thank you, 
Matt Kenney

Chairman Johnson and Members, 
 
My name is Ann O'Brien. I sit on the Deer Valley Village Planning Committee. Please approve the Central Foothills 
Project, GPA‐DV‐2‐19‐2 and Z‐37‐19‐2. 
 
While many of us would prefer our communities stay the same, it is important to recognize and pursue the right 
opportunities to grow and improve our neighborhoods. I believe this is one of those opportunities. The developers have 
worked diligently to address the neighboring community's concerns. Compromises made by the developer include 
reduced density, additional neighborhood access off of Central Avenue, and a traffic light at Central Avenue and Happy 
Valley Road, just to name a few. Additionally, the Central Foothills Project will provide $7‐$10 million of infrastructure to 
the area by bringing access to water and sewer. 
 
Please vote to approve the Central Foothills Project.
