RE: Case No. Z-61-23-2 Desert View Village  
 
Dear Mayor and Council Members: 
 
I wish to express my support for the development of The Villas at Cave Creek at 53rd Street and 
Dynamite Road.  As a resident and HOA board member of the adjacent Diamond Tree Estates, I 
am pleased to see a worthwhile use of this vacant tract finally proposed.  As someone dealing 
with aging parents, I can assure you that more facilities like this are needed.  I urge you to 
approve this request. 
 
Thank you for your efforts to make Phoenix a more livable community.

RE:   Z-61-23-2 Rezoning 52nd  / Dynamite, Desert View Village 
12-16-23
Racelle – we unfortunately did not have a quorum for Z-61-23-2 on December 5.   I was extremely 
disappointed that we didn’t achieve a quorum.   I take my affiliation with the VPC very seriously and 
many other members also do.   When we cannot conduct our business, it does defeat the purpose of 
the Villages.   No matter which side one is on, everyone in the community deserves to be heard at the 
neighborhood level. 
I did want to express my strong support for the Z-61-23-2  project.    I’m very supportive of the 
project for two reasons.   1 – this project is a good transition from the Dynamite (arterial roadway) to 
single family residential to the north.    Buildout of Dynamite will be a 6 lane arterial. 
2 – the 
use is extremely low intensity and low traffic. 
Additionally, I do believe that senior living services are underserved in this area.    Please feel free to 
express to Planning Commission my personal support of the project and my disappointment that the 
Village was unable to provide a Committee recommendation to Planning Commission. 
Feel free to 
contact me at anytime if you have any questions.    Thank you for your dedication to the city’s 
planning process.

I have reviewed the proposed development submitted for consideration, and I find the use to be compatible with this 
location along Dynamite Road.

Case Z-61-23-2
Ms. Escolar, 
 
As a long-time and nearby resident in Tatum Ranch, I support Case Z-61-23-2. The senior living community known as 
Villas at Cave Creek is the best option for the property located at the northeast corner of Dynamite Road and 52nd Street. 
 
This project is the best use of land on the north side of a major arterial street and provides a needed amenity to the 
community. It would be a good neighbor to San Marcos Manor to the west, Diamond Tree Estates to the north and Tatum 
Ranch as a project with less traffic, noise, density and light pollution than other development options. 
 
Respectfully, 
 
Rick Nowell

Hi Jason,
I’m so sorry, this Nov/Dec has been rough at work and completely forgot about your email. I’m actually behind on
several projects at work as well that I’m trying to catch up. 
I definitely support your project (too bad we couldn’t vote on it) as I think elderly care facilities are much needed in our
area!

Dynamite & 53rdstreet
Hi Rachelle 
I previously had written a letter in opposition of the project being proposed on Dynamite and 53rd headed by Jason 
Israel.    
I do still believe that the land should ideally be used for residential purposes, however, should the committee choose to 
rezone for the assisted living project that Jason Isreal is proposing , then I would support that project only. I have met 
with him and feel the plan respects the area.  
Thank you‐
