Report Suspicious From: DARLENE GEORGE To: Robert H Kuhfuss Subject: 19Th Ave & Dunlap Zoning case # GPA-NM-1-25-3 and Z-7-25 Date: Friday, March 28, 2025 6:40:36 AM Hello Mr. Kuhfuss, Per my understanding there is a 12.55-acre site that is going to be rezoned allowing for 143 residential units. We have an above average density of apartments in this area and this specific property is already heavily populated. My wishes are to not have any more houses or apartments developed in this area. It is too congested already. Thank-you for seriously considering my opinions, Darlene George 602-881-1124 ATTACHMENT F From: Jeff Stapleton To: Barbara Hettinger Cc: Kathleen T Consador; Robert H Kuhfuss Subject: RE: Proposed New Land Use at 19th Avenue and Dunlap Date: Thursday, April 3, 2025 2:12:50 PM Attachments: Aerial_Parcel_Map.pdf image001.png Hello Ms. Hettinger, Thank you for contacting our office. The City-owned Park & Ride and adjacent shopping center at 19th Ave. & Dunlap (Site) are being considered for future redevelopment (map attached). One key detail concerning this zoning case [Z-7-25 | GPA-NM-1-25-3] is that there is no proposed project associated with this case. Should the application be approved, there will not be any imminent construction activity at the site. Any future project will be the subject of a competitive request for proposals (RFP) process. The requirements for the RFP and a contract award will result from future actions of the City Council. The timing of an RFP release is not known at this time, but will likely not occur any sooner than 2026. The Site’s existing zoning allows for future redevelopment to C-1 and C-2 standards allowing for a variety of commercial uses, or it can be redeveloped with a multi-family residential use, which is permitted under existing C-1 and C-2 zoning. The proposed zoning district, Walkable Urban Code is typically used along Light Rail to allow for mixed-use development with reduced setbacks. This specific case results from the 19 North Transit Oriented Development Policy Plan approved by the City Council in 2021 (link). The goal of the case is to allow respondents to the future RFP to submit proposed project designs that improve the streetscape with landscaping, pedestrian and bike amenities and mixed-use development at the site. A vision for the area is noted on Page 54-57 of the plan. Not noted in the plan is that some share of parking stalls at the Site to support the Park & Ride will be retained at the site. The exact amount of stalls is not known at this time, but likely would be somewhere between 10%-25% of the existing parking stalls. A requirement of the rezoning case is to document any correspondence received from those in support, opposed, or interested in the case. I will add your inquiry and my response to the file. I am also more than happy to answer any further questions. Feel free to call or e-mail me. ___________________________________________________________ Jeff Stapleton Program Manager City of Phoenix Community and Economic Development 200 West Washington Street, 20th Floor Phoenix, AZ 85003 Office: 602-534-3162 Cell: 520-270-1675 jeff.stapleton@phoenix.gov CAUTION: This email originated outside of the City of Phoenix.

As you are aware, this whole area is highly compressed ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerStart ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerEnd Dear Mr. Stapleton, I write to request information regarding the land at 19th Avenue and Northern secured by the city for the light rail and its contemplated use for multi-family dwellings. As you are aware, this whole area is highly compressed with Section 8 housing and other multi-family dwellings and their attending services. As you are also likely aware, higher density housing is associated with significantly higher crime. As much as you have decision-making responsibilities, please ensure that our area is protected from already highly dense population spaces with many very high-need residents. It is time to spread out high-density family dwellings to other areas that have not yet filled that need. I look forward to receiving more information from your office.
