PROPOSAL 
4. 
The proposal was developed utilizing the PUD zoning district. The Planned Unit 
Development (PUD) is intended to create a built environment that is superior to

Staff Report: Z-25-24-8 
August 5, 2024 
Page 6 of 20 
 
that produced by conventional zoning districts and design guidelines. Using a 
collaborative and comprehensive approach, an applicant authors and proposes 
standards and guidelines that are tailored to the context of a site on a case by 
case basis. Where the PUD Development Narrative is silent on a requirement, the 
applicable Zoning Ordinance provisions will be applied. 
 
 
5.  
Below is a summary of the proposed standards for the subject site as described 
in the attached PUD Development Narrative date stamped July 24, 2024. The 
proposed standards were designed to allow single-family detached, single-family 
attached, and golf course uses that would generate housing and a community 
asset within the Laveen Village.   
 
 
 
Conceptual Development Plan and Permitted Uses  
 
The PUD proposes a regulatory framework structured around the creation of 
splitting the subject site into five development units. Development Unit A is 
located on the south portion of the subject site, along Baseline Road. 
Development A allows single-family attached or detached residential uses with a 
minimum lot width of 35 feet. Located along the majority of the 59th Avenue 
alignment, Development Unit B allows single-family detached residential units 
with a minimum lot width of 50 feet. Development Unit C is located along 
Southern Avenue and allows for single-family attached or detached residential 
uses with varying lot sizes. Located on the northeast corner of the subject site, 
along 55th Avenue, Development Unit D allows for single-family detached with a 
minimum lot width of 45 feet. The remainder of the site is located within 
Development Unit E and will allow a golf course with a clubhouse for event and 
recreational opportunities.

Several of the PUD standards exceed the Zoning Ordinance standards, such as 
open space and landscape buffers. The proposed PUD allows for a maximum 
number of 415 residential units.  
 
Members of the community expressed concern with the timing of how the golf 
course and single-family residences would develop, sharing a desire for the golf 
course to be built in conjunction with the residential uses. Staff recommends 
Stipulation No. 2 which would require the Certificate of Completion for the golf 
course grading and drainage and the Certificate of Completion or sign off by the 
site inspector verifying the landscape improvements prior to the Certificate of 
Occupancy for any single-family residences.

Staff Report: Z-25-24-8 
August 5, 2024 
Page 9 of 20 
 
 
 
 
Landscape Standards  
The PUD narrative proposes numerous landscaping enhancements that include 
landscaping buffers, shading along most public sidewalks, and enhanced planting 
standards that exceed the Zoning Ordinance. The landscaping will provide for a 
pedestrian-friendly environment with 75 percent shade on Southern Avenue and 
Baseline Road, exceeding the minimum requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. 
Furthermore, all landscape setbacks and buffers will have larger caliper trees 
including two-inch, one and a half inch, and one inch tree sizes.  
 
Staff recommends the following modifications to the PUD Narrative which 
updates landscaping along the streetscape: 
 
• Stipulation No. 1.g. will add planting standards for the landscape strip 
located between back of curb and sidewalk along 59th Avenue.  
• Stipulation No. 1.k. will add planting standards for the landscape strip 
located between the back of curb and sidewalk along Southern Avenue.  
• Stipulation No. 1.l. will add planting standards for the landscape strip 
located between back of curb and sidewalk along Baseline Road.  
 
 
  
Parking Standards  
The PUD proposes to comply with the Zoning Ordinance minimum parking 
standards per Section 702.   
 
The PUD also requires bicycle parking within all development units. Development 
units A through D are required to provide 1 bicycle parking space per every 10 
units. Development Unit E requires 1 bicycle parking space for every three golf 
course holes. Bicycle parking shall be provided within common areas and through 
inverted U or artistic racks.  
 
The PUD Narrative also includes a requirement for EV parking within 
Development Unit E. A minimum of four EV parking stalls shall be provided at the 
clubhouse that would serve the future golf course.   
 
Recommended updates to the PUD Narrative:  
• Stipulation No. 1.d, 1.m. and 1.o. clarifies the electric vehicle parking stalls 
shall have installed infrastructure requirement language.  
 
 
  
Design Guidelines   
The PUD Narrative proposes numerous architectural styles including craftsman 
bungalow, contemporary, ranch, traditional southwest, luxury townhomes, and 
townhome villas. Each architectural style proposes a list of features that include 
pitched roofs, hand-crafted stone, faux stone, barrel tile roofs, arches, patios, and 
oversized windows. The design guidelines section does not have a minimum 
number of primary or accent materials. As a result, staff recommends Stipulation 
No. 3 to require all residential elevations to be reviewed by the Planning Hearing 
Officer through the public hearing process. The residential elevations must have a 
minimum of three architectural embellishments, a minimum of three accent

Staff Report: Z-25-24-8 
August 5, 2024 
Page 10 of 20 
 
materials, 25 percent of the building frontage must have accent materials, and 
garage doors must have design embellishments. This is addressed in Stipulation 
No. 3.  
 
 
 
Fences/Walls  
The proposed development will include secure perimeter walls for all new 
residential development, as well as perimeter fencing for the golf course in order 
to protect the privacy of existing and future residents.  
 
Theme perimeter walls will be located along the perimeter of the subject site, 
except along the east and southeast corner. Perimeter theme wall requirements 
include CMU block in dark auburn color with decorative stone veneer theme 
columns and a concrete cap. Full view fencing will be provided along 
Development Unit A, clubhouse entry, and between the existing split view fencing 
along the east perimeter. Full view fencing requirements include 75 percent view 
fencing, steel tubular fencing, stone veneer columns, and concrete caps. Finally, 
partial view fencing is proposed within the proposed development, facing the 
future redeveloped golf course. Partial view fencing requires a minimum of 50 
percent view fencing, dark auburn CMU block, tubular steel, and stone veneer 
columns.   
 
 
  
Shade  
The Development Narrative includes a range from 50 to 75 percent shade cover 
to be provided over public sidewalks, depending on the area. The required shade 
standards along many of the public sidewalks exceed the Zoning Ordinance 
requirements.   
 
Staff recommends updates to the shade provisions when adjacent to public 
streets to clarify that shading requirements might change depending on the SRP 
easement. These updates are addressed in the Streetscape Standards section of 
the PUD Narrative (Stipulation No. 1.h.).  
 
 
 
Signage 
This section of the PUD Narrative includes provisions for on-premise signage and 
new residential monumentation. This site is not eligible for off-premise signs. The 
site is not within 300 feet of a freeway. 
 
 Existing and entry monumentation is proposed within development units A, B, C, 
and D. A maximum of two signs are permitted at each entrance of the residential 
subdivision and will have a maximum height of five feet. Existing golf course 
signage, located along Baseline Road and Southern Avenue, will be revitalized to 
match the new design standards found in the PUD Narrative. A maximum of two 
signs are permitted at each driveway and will be a maximum of eight feet in 
height.

Staff Report: Z-25-24-8 
August 5, 2024 
Page 11 of 20 
 
Sustainability  
The Development Narrative proposes several options to incorporate sustainability 
principals. Below is a highlight of some of the options:   
 
• EV parking provided at the clubhouse for the golf course.   
• Smart irrigation controllers shall be utilized within development units A 
through D and future golf course.  
• Pressure regulating sprinkler heads to reduce water waste.  
• Two green infrastructure techniques. 
• Utilizing Low-Water-Use/Drought-Tolerant Plant List within single-family 
developments and within the golf course area. 
• A minimum of 50 percent of residential driveways shall provide permeable 
surfaces.  
 
AREA PLANS, OVERLAY DISTRICT, AND INITIATIVES  
6.  
Laveen Southwest Growth 
Study 
The site is located within the 
boundaries of the Laveen 
Southwest Growth Study, which 
was developed in 1997 to 
analyze the existing conditions of 
the Laveen Village and provide a 
land use and design planning 
framework to help shape the 
growth that Laveen was starting 
to experience, while accounting 
for newly annexed farmland as 
well as the future development of 
the South Mountain Freeway 
Loop, which has since been 
completed. This plan designates 
the project site as Parks/Open 
Space.   
 
The majority of the subject site is 
consistent with the Laveen 
Southwest Growth Study Land 
Use Map designation. The 
proposed residential 
designations, although not 
consistent with the designation, 
will provide a mix of housing 
opportunities within the Laveen 
Village that is consistent with the 
surrounding land uses.

The Laveen Southwest Growth Study also outlines specific design policies and 
standards for various types of development that will enhance Laveen’s built 
environment while remaining respectful of its agricultural heritage. The study 
encourages all new development to use durable, high quality building materials 
and to provide enhanced building design that will contribute to the character of 
the area. As stipulated, the Development Narrative proposes a variety of building 
materials on future buildings with a focus on maintaining the character of the 
area.  
 
 
7.  
Housing Phoenix Plan  
In June 2020, the Phoenix City Council approved the Housing Phoenix Plan. This 
Plan contains policy initiatives for the development and preservation of housing 
with vision of creating a stronger and more vibrant Phoenix through increased 
housing options for residents at all income levels and family sizes. Phoenix’s 
rapid population growth and housing underproduction has led to a need for over 
163,000 new housing units. Current shortages of housing supply relative to 
demand are a primary reason why housing costs are increasing.  
The proposed development supports the Plan’s goal of preserving or creating 
50,000 housing units by 2030 by contributing to a variety housing types that will 
address the supply shortage at a more rapid pace while using underutilized land 
in a more sustainable fashion. 
 
 
8.  
Complete Streets Guiding Principles 
In 2014, the Phoenix City Council adopted the Complete Streets Guiding 
Principles. The principles are intended to promote improvements that provide an 
accessible, safe, and connected transportation system to include all modes, such 
as bicycles, pedestrians, transit, and vehicles. The PUD proposed several 
provisions that are consistent with Complete Streets Guiding Principles including 
detached sidewalks along street frontages to promote a safe pedestrian 
atmosphere. Additionally, a Complete Streets section is included in the narrative 
which includes bicycle lanes along 59th Avenue and Southern Avenue, street 
design which will allow for multi-modal mobility, and design techniques to reduce 
direct sunlight exposure to pedestrians and cyclists.   
 
Staff recommends the following modifications to the PUD Narrative to enhance 
the streetscape standards: 
 
• Stipulation No. 1.e. clarifies that all street improvements along 59th 
Avenue will include outparcel APN: 104-80-523A.  
• Stipulation No. 1.f. increases the minimum sidewalk width to 6 feet along 
59th Avenue.  
• Stipulation No. 1.g. adds planting standards for the landscape strip located 
between back of curb and sidewalk along 59th Avenue.  
• Stipulation No. 1.h. clarifies that street improvements along 59th Avenue 
are subject to the approval of SRP.  
• Stipulation No. 1.i. clarifies that all street improvements along Southern

Staff Report: Z-25-24-8 
August 5, 2024 
Page 13 of 20 
 
Avenue include outparcels APN: 104-80-523A and APN: 104-80-004C.  
• Stipulation No. 1.j. increases the minimum sidewalk width to 6 feet.  
• Stipulation No. 1.k. adds planting standards for the landscape strip located 
between the back of curb and sidewalk along Southern Avenue.  
• Stipulation No. 1.l. will add planting standards for the landscape strip 
located between back of curb and sidewalk along Baseline Road. 
 
 
9. 
Transportation Electrification Action Plan 
In June 2022, the Phoenix City Council approved the Transportation 
Electrification Action Plan. The current market desire for the electrification of 
transportation is both a national and global phenomenon, fueled by a desire for 
better air quality, a reduction in carbon emissions, and a reduction in vehicle 
operating and maintenance costs. Businesses, governments and the public are 
signaling strong future demand for electric vehicles (EVs), and many automobile 
manufacturers have declared plans for a transition to fully electric offerings within 
the coming decade. This Plan contains policy initiatives to prepare the City for a 
future filled with more EVs, charging infrastructure and e-mobility equity, and 
outlines a roadmap for a five-step plan to prepare for the EV infrastructure needs 
of 280,000 EVs in Phoenix by 2030. One goal of the Plan to accelerate public 
adoption of electric vehicles through workplace, business, and multifamily 
charging infrastructure recommends a standard stipulation for rezoning cases to 
provide EV charging infrastructure. The Development Narrative contains 
requirements for electrical vehicle parking at the golf course clubhouse.   
 
 
10. 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. The 
Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan supports options for both short- and long-
term bicycle parking as a means of promoting bicyclist traffic to a variety of 
Destinations. The Development Narrative includes bicycle parking provisions in 
all development units.   
 
 
11.  Tree and Shade Master Plan 
The Tree and Shade Master Plan has a goal of treating the urban forest as 
infrastructure to ensure that trees are an integral part of the city’s planning and 
development process. In addition, a vision in the master plan is to raise 
awareness by leading by example. The Development Narrative requires a range 
of shade on all adjacent public sidewalks, in addition to larger tree sizes within the 
landscape areas between the back of curb and sidewalk. These standards 
exceed the minimum Zoning Ordinance requirements.  
 
 
12. Monarch Butterfly 
In April 2021, Mayor Kate Gallego signed the National Wildlife Federation's 
Mayor's Monarch Pledge. This pledge commits the city to take action to support 
the monarch butterfly population. In the United States, loss of milkweed habitat is 
a major factor in the decline of the monarchs. Arizona has at least 29 species of 
milkweed native to the state. Adult monarchs feed on the nectar of many flowers, 
but they breed only where milkweeds are found. To support the monarch butterfly

population, the PUD narrative addresses the planting of milkweed shrubs, or 
other native nectar plant species, on the subject site. 
 
 
13. Conservation Measures for New Development 
In June 2023, the Phoenix City Council adopted the Conservation Measures for 
New Development policy as part of a resolution addressing the future water 
consumption of new development (Resolution 22129). This resolution addresses 
the future water consumption of new development to support one of the City’s 
Five Core Values in the General Plan which calls for Phoenix to - Build the 
Sustainable Desert City. The Conservation Measures for New Development 
policy includes direction to develop standards for consideration as stipulations for 
all rezoning cases that will address best practices related to water usage in nine 
specific categories. The PUD Narrative has numerous conservation measures for 
the proposed residential and golf course uses. The proposed single-family 
residential development and golf course will utilize the Phoenix Active 
Management Area Low-Water-Use/Drought-Tolerant Plant List for vegetation, 
smart irrigation controllers, and pressure regulating sprinkler heads to reduce 
water waste.  
 
 
14. Phoenix Climate Action Plan 
In October 2021, the Phoenix City Council approved the Climate Action Plan. The 
Climate Action Plan will serve as a long-term plan to achieve greenhouse gas 
emissions reductions and resiliency goals from local operations and community 
activities as well as prepare for the impacts of climate change. This plan contains 
policy and initiatives regarding stationary energy, transportation, waste 
management, air quality, local food systems, heat, and water. Goal W2 (Water), 
Action W2.4, pertains to the implementation of the Greater Phoenix Green 
Infrastructure (GI) and Low Impact Development Details for Alternative 
Stormwater Management to benefit the environment, promote water 
conservation, reduce urban heat, improve the public health, and create additional 
green spaces. This goal is addressed the Sustainability portion of the PUD 
Narrative. A minimum of two green infrastructure techniques for stormwater 
managements shall be implemented in the future golf course and single-family 
residential development.  
 
 
15.  Zero Waste PHX 
The City of Phoenix is committed to its waste diversion efforts and has set a goal 
to become a zero-waste city, as part of the City’s overall 2050 Environmental 
Sustainability Goals. One of the ways Phoenix can achieve this is to improve and 
expand its recycling and other waste diversion programs. Section 716 of the 
Phoenix Zoning Ordinance establishes standards to encourage the provision of 
recycling containers for multifamily, commercial, and mixed-use developments 
meeting certain criteria. The PUD narrative does not address trash and recycling 
receptacles on site. However, the City provides recycling service to single-family 
residential developments.

INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS  
17.  The Street Transportation Department has requested the following stipulations:  
  
• Right-of-way dedications and construction on Southern Avenue shall 
accommodate a flared intersection (Stipulation No. 4). 
• Improvements on the east side of 59th Avenue shall follow the agreement 
between the Salt River Project and the City of Phoenix (Stipulation No. 5).

18.  The City of Phoenix Aviation Department has reviewed the proposal and 
indicated that a portion of the site is within the airport disclosure area. The 
Aviation Department requests that the property owner record documents that 
disclose the existence and operations of the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport to any 
future owners or tenants. This is addressed Stipulation No. 15.   
 
 
19. The site is located in a larger area identified as being archaeologically sensitive. 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

Staff Report: Z-25-24-8 
August 5, 2024 
Page 16 of 20 
 
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 Stipulations No. 16 through 18.  
 
 
20. Staff has not received a completed form for the Waiver of Claims for Diminution in 
Value of Property under Proposition 207 (A.R.S. 12-1131 et seq.), as required by 
the rezoning application process. Therefore, a stipulation has been added to 
require the form be completed and submitted prior to final site plan approval. This 
is addressed in Stipulation No. 19. 
 
 
21.  Development and use of the site is subject to all applicable codes and 
ordinances. Zoning approval does not negate other ordinance requirements such 
as obtaining a use permit to conduct the proposed outdoor use in this zoning 
district. Other formal actions such as, but not limited to, zoning adjustments and 
abandonments, may be required. 
 
 
 
Findings  
 
 
1.  
The proposal is compatible with the existing land use pattern and is consistent 
with the proposed General Plan Land Use Map designations. 
 
 
2.  
The proposal contains enhanced standards that will result in a more walkable, 
shaded and pedestrian-friendly environment. The proposal will provide increased 
shade which will help to reduce the urban heat island effect. 
 
 
3.  
The proposal will revitalize a golf course that will be an asset to the village and 
provide additional housing opportunities within the area.

Golf Course Revision 1.0.pdf
From: Carrasco, Julio <jcarrasco@everonsolutions.com>  
Sent: Monday, February 26, 2024 12:55 PM 
To: hayes@wmbattorneys.com; Nayeli Sanchez Luna <nayeli.sanchez.luna@phoenix.gov> 
Subject: Laveen 140, LLC 
 
To whom it may concern: 
 
I am a resident at 6306 S 54th Lane, my wife and I purchased the home in February of 2023. Please, understand that I am 
not opposed to someone purchasing the old course and revitalizing the area as we want the community to develop and 
grow. My issue is that when reviewing the plan, our home and 21 others are the only ones effected with homes directly 
behind us and the loss of our golf course view (see pdf, yellow effected – blue still have a view of the course). We lose 
our golf course view and depending on the size of the new homes, we could lose our mountain view. This is 
unacceptable to me, as I mentioned previously I am not opposed to growth and making things better but I do not want 
my views to change. When we bought our home we were told no homes would be built and now within a year, we are 
effected. I would vote 100% in favor if I still had my golf course view but to be one of only 22 homes effected I am not 
for it. There should be other plans on how to keep everyone with their views, 20 Holes – adjust and make 27 holes. 
Make a Par 3 course or a practice range. There has to be a way to not effect a small group.   
 
I am not able to attend this evening but if I was, I would be opposed to this plan – I am asking to look at all options and 
see how everyone that has a golf course view – can remain on the course.  
 
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call me on my cell, 630.327.7574. 
 
Thank you,

Dear Laveen Planning,  
My family is a 20+ year resident of Cottonfields Golf Course.  We are not happy with how Laveen 140 has been 
conduction business concerning our neighborhood.  The last meeting they did not send out notices to the neighboring 
community, Cottonfields, that backs up to the golf course and will be affected by a new road and housing units. Notices 
should be sent to all residents in the surrounding communities. Several of my neighbors have also had complaints about 
how they are conducting the new zoning.  I do not want a new road behind my house.  I am now buffered from the 
outside by homes in the adjacent Cottonfields Community.  In addition, Laveen 140 has not kept up the current golf 
course and clubhouse.  There is weeds and trash throughout the golf course.  Our HOA board has not taken a vote to 
satisfy the homeowners of the golf course.   Laveen 140 taken signatures of residents that include renters.  I hope that 
the Laveen planning and council will require that Laveen 140 has an actual vote from the community before proceeding 
with any zoning changes to satisfy our legally binding REMA agreement.  
Thank you,

Nayeli, 
We got this letter from a Spanish speaking resident within Cottonfields.  Below is translation.  Can you please 
include in the staff report? 
Hello, my name is Erica and I live in Cottonfields Ranch at 5532 W Minton Ave, Laveen Arizona 85339. I am unable 
to attend the next village meeting but I want to offer my support to make this project happen. I have seen many 
things that are not well in our community, the golf course has been neglected, homeless persons at night, dirt 
bikes driving on the golf course at night, etc. For this reason, I support this zone change for our community.

Hola mi nombre es Erica, yo vivo en cotton field ranch 
5532 W Minton Ave, Laveen Arizona 85339. 
No podré asistir al próximo meeting, pero quiero dar mi apoyo al proyecto que están por hacer, ya que he 
visto cosas que no están bien en la comunidad, el campo de golf bien descuidando , he visto en las 
noches personas vagas que no viven en el área caminando y otras corriendo en motocicletas por las 
noches en el campo de golf, así que estoy de acuerdo por un cambio e la comunidad.
