ATTACHMENT F METRODISTRICT Community Collaboration May 6, 2025 City of Phoenix Planning and Development Department 200 W. Washington Street, 2"4 Floor Phoenix, AZ 85003 RE: Support for Zoning Case Z-7-25 and GPA-NM-1-25-3 (Southwest Corner of 19th Avenue and Dunlap Avenue) To Whom It May Concern: As a Board Member of the Metro District Community Collaboration (MDCC), | am writing in support of the proposed rezoning and General Plan Amendment for the City of Phoenix property located at the southwest corner of 19th Avenue and Dunlap Avenue. This proposed action supports the revitalization of the Metro District and the broader Dunlap Avenue corridor. The area has long needed thoughtful, pedestrian-oriented development that enhances both economic development and neighborhood vibrancy. By aligning with the 19North Transit Oriented Development Policy Plan this case reflects a strategic vision to bring walkable, mixed-use development to a currently underutilized City-owned site. Rezonings that support the Walkable Urban Code and enable mixed-use development are key tools for increasing the area’s economic development potential. The MDCC supports efforts that promote quality development and greater livability—and this case is a strong step in that direction. We appreciate the City’s engagement and leadership in activating this site for long-term community benefit.
