ITEM NO. 6 (Z-53-22-8) – APPROXIMATELY 860 FEET SOUTH OF THE 
SOUTHWEST CORNER OF 51ST AVENUE AND CARVER ROAD 
The purpose of this memo is to recommend modified stipulations in response to 
the Laveen Village Planning Committee (VPC) recommendation and additional 
modifications requested by the applicant.   
Rezoning Case No. Z-53-22-8 is a request to rezone 288.63 acres of S-1 (Ranch or 
Farm Residence), S-1 (Approved C-2 PCD) (Ranch or Farm Residence, Approved 
Intermediate Commercial, Planned Community District), S-1 (Approved R-2 PCD) 
(Ranch or Farm Residence, Approved Multifamily Residence District, Planned 
Community District), S-1 (Approved R-3 PCD) (Ranch or Farm Residence, Approved 
Multifamily Residence District, Planned Community District), S-1 (Approved R-3A PCD) 
(Ranch or Farm Residence, Approved Multifamily Residence District, Planned 
Community District), S-1 (Approved R1-10 PCD) (Ranch or Farm Residence, Approved 
Single-Family Residence District, Planned Community District), S-1 (Approved R1-18 
PCD) (Ranch or Farm Residence, Approved Single-Family Residence District, Planned 
Community District), S-1 (Approved R1-8 PCD) (Ranch or Farm Residence, Approved 
Single-Family Residence District, Planned Community District), S-1 (Approved RH/R1-
10 PCD) (Ranch or Farm Residence, Approved Resort District/Single-Family Residence 
District, Planned Community District) to PUD (Planned Unit Development) for the Gila 
Foothills PUD to allow single and multifamily residential, commercial uses, and some 
commerce park.  
The Laveen VPC heard this request on March 18, 2024, and recommended approval 
per the staff memo dated March 18, 2024 with modifications and additional stipulations 
by a vote of 8-0.   
Staff recommends that Stipulation No. 1.AA be clarified to address that 50 percent of 
the area within Development Unit 1 which permits 40 feet in height be permitted 40 feet, 
and the remaining 50 percent be limited to a maximum of 30 feet in height. 
Staff recommends Stipulation No. 1.Z be modified to remove Development Unit 10, 
which already has a maximum height of 56 feet.  
Staff recommends that Stipulation No. 1.JJ and 2 be modified to remove the reference 
to Development Unit 10 related to multifamily development that exceeds 40 feet in 
height, as any multifamily development not associated with the resort, regardless of 
height, is subject to additional review and approval per Stipulation No. 1.MM.

The applicant has requested that Stipulation Nos. 1.M, 1.MM, and 2 be modified to only 
apply to a 50-acre area reserved for a resort in development units 9A, 9B, and 10, and 
the remaining approximately 7 acres does not require a time limit for the reservation of a 
resort. The intent is that the approximately 7-acre area would not be placed in an area 
that would interrupt the viability of having a relatively contiguous 50-acre area reserved 
for a resort. This is addressed through modifications to Stipulation Nos. 1.M, 1.MM, and 
2 below. 
 
The applicant has also requested that a maximum of 40 lots within the area limited to 
2.34 dwelling units per acre in Development Unit 8. This is to address additional 
concerns related to density in Development Unit 8. Staff recommends a modification to 
Stipulation No. 1.FF to further limit the area to a maximum of 40 lots. 
 
Staff recommends approval, per the modified stipulations in bold font below:

changes approved through this request shall be submitted to the Planning 
Department within 30 days of City Council approval of this request. The
