PROPOSAL
4.
Site Plan
The proposal is for a 30-lot single-family residential community. The conceptual site
plan, attached as an exhibit, depicts two east/west streets and one north/south
street. The northernmost east/west street will extend through the adjacent property
to the east, which will be developed at the same time as the subject site. Lots within
the subject site will range from 66 to 88 feet in width. The site will also be buffered
along the 33rd Avenue frontage and the eastern edge of the site by landscaping of
not less than 15 feet in width. An open space area will be located in the southeast
corner of the property, also serving as a drainage basin. Staff recommends
Staff Report: Z-4-25-1
May 12, 2025
Page 6 of 12
Stipulation No. 1, to limit the site to a maximum of 30 lots, to ensure the site
develops as proposed and to remain compatible with the surrounding area.

5.
Elevations
The applicant intially provided a set of elevation drawings that were generally typical
of single-family detached development in the area. The applicant has since chosen
to work within a more contemporary elevation palette and has not developed a set
of elevations for inclusion with this report. Staff recommends Stipulation Nos. 2 and
3 to ensure that the elevations contain enhanced design features, and that the
maximum height of the buildings be no more that one story, 20 feet, to be
compatible with the surrounding area.
STUDIES AND POLICIES
6.
Shade Phoenix Plan
In November 2024, the Phoenix City Council adopted the Shade Phoenix Plan. The
Shade Phoenix Plan prioritizes increasing shade coverage throughout the City to
improve health and quality of life. Investing in shade can address the urban heat
island effect, clean the air, preserve Sonoran vegetation, and prevent health
Staff Report: Z-4-25-1
May 12, 2025
Page 7 of 12
complications related to prolonged exposure to heat. The Shade Phoenix Plan
provides numerous strategies to increase shade including expanding and
maintaining existing shade, strengthening tree code enforcement, and developing
shade stipulations in rezoning cases. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 4, which
requires shaded detached sidewalks within the development and along 33rd
Avenue.
7.
Complete Streets Guiding Principles
In 2014, the City of Phoenix City Council adopted the Complete Streets Guiding
Principles. The principles are intended to promote improvements that provide an
accessible, safe, connected transportation system to include all modes, such as
bicycles, pedestrians, transit, and vehicles. As stipulated, the proposed
development would enhance the streetscape for pedestrians by providing detached
sidewalks along 33rd Avenue and within the development. This is addressed in
Stipulation No. 4.
8.
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. The City of Phoenix offers
recycling services for single-family residential properties.
9.
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
a 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, according to the Housing Phoenix Plan. 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 of housing types
that will address the supply shortage at a more rapid pace while using vacant land in
a more sustainable fashion.
10.
Monarch Butterfly Pledge
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
Staff Report: Z-4-25-1
May 12, 2025
Page 8 of 12
where milkweeds are found. To support the monarch butterfly population, Stipulation
No. 7 addresses the planting of milkweed shrubs, or other native nectar plant
species, on the subject site.
11.
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. This is
addressed in Stipulation Nos. 8 through 14.
12.
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 Metro 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. Recommended
Stipulation No. 12 require at least two green stormwater infrastructure elements.
COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY
13.
As of the writing of this report, staff received four letters in opposition to this request.
The letters cited issues with the proposed density, traffic, and impacts to property
values in the area.
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS
14.
The Street Transportation Department requires the developer to provide detached
sidewalks along 33rd Avenue and construct streets within and adjacent to the
development, including compliance with ADA accessibility standards. These
comments are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 4 through 6.

Case # Z-4-25 - Rezoning on 33rd Ave to R1-10
Date:
Monday, April 7, 2025 11:55:15 AM
We Strongly oppose to rezoning these lots, it will increase traffic in our area which
streets are barley allow to one car through. It will create more noise, pollution and more
important it will lower our property values dramatically. We like to keep the are S1\R43.
Other general issue, we are experiencing water shortage and droughts and building more
homes does not help us! Are we all soon going to drink our piss!

I believe that this property is a five acre parcel. Current zoning allows only four single family
homes to be built on such properly. We are not opposed to progress if in accordance with in
place zoning,but to allow multiple smaller lots is totally unacceptable. Our area was rather
unique when most of us built here and we expect it to remain as such, not a mixture of acre +
and tight residential properties. Please come out and see for yourself what we have, and don't
allow a hungry developer to ruin our final dreams. Thank you for your consideration. Curtis

Case number Z-4_25
Date:
Sunday, April 13, 2025 5:54:25 PM
Hello Robert
My name is Dustin Hamilton, my address is 3115 W Oberlin Way. I live pretty close to
the area that is in question for rezoning.
I am opposed to rezoning this area.
We have recently lost a rezoning to a developer in the area of 31st Avenue and
Pinnacle Vista. The city granted rezoning to 53 small homes in that corner lot.
Now we have another developer trying to cram more houses into our area. This has
caused a significant increase to the amount of traffic in our general area and another
30 homes will just add to what was once a quiet area.
Oberlin Way between 31st Ave and 33rd Ave is pretty much a one lane road. the high
school students and drop off parents have found a way to circumvent the traffic jam at
the Sandra Day Oconner by coming down the frontage road, and going through our
neighborhood to get to 33rd Ave. This then takes them the back way to the high
school, and they don't have to wait in the long morning lines. I can tell you that many
people do not stop at the stop sign on Oberlin Way and 31st Ave and will travel 50 -
60 miles an hour down Oberlin to 33rd, turn right and head to high school. It can be
dangerous on Oberlin in the morning.
Mixed in with speeding and reckless driving is pedestrian traffic and sometimes
equestrian riders. All of this happens every morning because of the school traffic.
Now, this builder is proposing to build 30 more homes. This will result in about 60-75
more vehicles driving in this area. This will further increase the hazardous conditions
that take place on Oberlin Way. People trying to haul ass to school, people walking
their dogs on the street, horseback riders, and now a bunch more people trying to get
out to the frontage road and get to work. All taking place on a one lane street.
If the city insists allowing this builder to flood our area with this much more traffic,
Oberlin Way will have to be addressed. Not only Oberlin Way, but 33rd Ave also. It is
the same conditions on 33rd Ave between Dynamite Rd and Pinnacle Vista. Small
tight road with high-speed traffic, 33rd Ave gets speeding traffic all day long from the
resident who live North of Dynamite.
In my opinion, the only way to add this many more cars and congestion is to widen
Oberlin Way between 31st and 33rd Ave, also widen 33rd Ave between Dynamite
and Pinnacle Vista. The builder at the corner of Pinnacle Vista and 31st Ave widened
the road, installed sidewalks and upgraded the infrastructure under the street. This
did help with the congestion and made it safer.
The infrastructure under these roads has got to be 50-60 years old and in need of
upgrading. It doesn't make sense to pave over all the old infrastructure. I know for
sure the sewer is out of date, and I would have questions about it handling that much
more waste from 30 more homes. The builder would have to bring these 2 streets and
all the infrastructure under the streets up to usable conditions.
Also, I would question the water volume capacity to provide acceptable water usage
to 30 more homes.
These are real issues that affect all of us that have been living in this area for a long
time. Larger homes are usually built on these S1 zoning sites, and we pay a premium
in property taxes for the luxury of a large lot. These builders always want to build a
bunch of smaller homes in an area that is clearly defined by larger lots. As a resident,
who has fought many of these, I believe that the existing residents are left to just deal
with effects of something like taking over our area. The builder suffers no
consequences and walks away with a bag full of money. I also feel like the cities
position is like, great more tax revenue. When in reality almost the same revenues
can be achieved by building larger homes on larger lots. I would be more agreeable if
the builder were to reduce the amount of house they are proposing to build
The builder also starts out by introducing themselves through their attorney. I feel like
this is an intimidation tactic done by the builder to persuade us existing residents not
to stand up to them. I have shared my views in this matter with my attorney, and we
are prepared to file suit against this builder for creating hazardous conditions, if this is
approved, without addressing the road issues.
I will be attending the meeting and look forward to hearing what other residents have
to say
Thanks

Rezoning case: Z-4-25
Date:
Thursday, April 17, 2025 9:58:38 AM
Good morning Mr. Kuhfuss.
I would like to provide my thoughts and input on the rezoning case listed above.
I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed subdivision of land in our community,
which would allow for the development of smaller lots and an increase in housing density.
While I understand the need for thoughtful growth and housing availability, I have serious
concerns about the potential impacts of this particular development. Subdividing lots to allow
for more housing may strain existing infrastructure, increase traffic congestion, and change the
character of our neighborhood, which many of us value for its open space, quiet, and natural
environment. This neighborhood has already had a huge influx of new homes added and it has
not fared well. The traffic has increased exponentially already; people speed through the
streets with little thought to the children that live around here and ride their bikes through the
neighborhoods. The additional traffic trying to get kids to school (both the K-8 and the high
school) has been terrible and oftentimes results in accidents. (You can probably even check
that statement. There are accidents down by the high school or by 35th Ave and Happy Valley
all the time. There was an accident just today on Pocono Way on the way to the high school.
Additionally, increasing housing density without comprehensive planning can place added
pressure on public services like schools, emergency services, and utilities. I believe growth
should be managed in a way that preserves the quality of life for current residents while still
accommodating future needs.
I urge you to consider the long-term consequences of this subdivision and to support a more
balanced approach that respects the integrity of our existing community.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Diane Rohrer
