Village Planning Committee (VPC) Recommendation: 
Deer Valley 5/20/2025 No quorum. 
Planning Commission Recommendation: Approval, per the staff recommendation. 
Motion Discussion:  
Chairperson Busching asked staff if it was typical for Deer Valley to not have a quorum. 
Ms. Racelle Escolar responded that while she did not have the figures on the frequency with 
which they have quorum, it does happen occasionally that the committee does not have 
quorum. 
Commissioner Read asked staff a question regarding the concerns of the public as they relate 
to street improvements along Oberlin Way, whether there were any plans by the city to improve 
the street.  
Ms. Escolar responded that it did appear that the street was not yet built out. As part of this 
project, the applicant would improve the right-of-way directly in front of the property and then 
likely taper the improvements north towards Dynamite Road and south towards Oberlin Way. 
Commissioner Gorraiz asked for clarification that the street improvements required of this 
project would only be required along 33rd Avenue, and not along either Dynamite Road or 
Oberlin Way. 
Ms. Escolar responded that it was nor required as part of the rezoning.
