ITEM NO: 4 
 
 
DISTRICT 7 
SUBJECT: 
 
 
 
Application #: 
PHO-2-21--Z-47-19-7 
Location: 
Approximately 650 feet north of the intersection of 59th 
Avenue and South Mountain Avenue 
Zoning:  
C-2 HGT/WVR 
Acreage:  
10.74 
Request: 
1) Modification of Stipulation 1 regarding general 
conformance to the Conceptual Master Site Plan date 
stamped October 23, 2019. 
2) Review of site plan, landscape plan, and elevations by 
the Planning Hearing Officer per Stipulation 33. 
3) Modification of Stipulation 34 regarding a minimum 10 
percent common area open space. 
Applicant: 
Michael Trueman 
Owner: 
 
Laveen Baseline LLC 
Representative: Tanya Aksamentova 
 
ACTIONS: 
 
Planning Hearing Officer Recommendation: The Planning Hearing Officer 
recommended approval with additional stipulations. 
 
Village Planning Committee (VPC) Recommendation: The Laveen Village 
Planning Committee heard this request on November 8, 2021 and recommended 
approval by an 11-0 vote. 
 
DISCUSSION: 
 
Kaelee Wilson, representative with Berry Riddell, requested to withdraw the 
original request for modification of Stipulation 34. She stated the modification of 
Stipulation 1 would modify the Conceptual Master Site Plan and allow the subject 
site to be incorporated into Site C. She stated that this adjustment of the 
boundaries would allow the applicant to develop a multifamily residential project 
that complies with the stipulations relevant to that use category. She stated that 
the applicant is requesting review of a proposed site plan, landscape plan, and 
elevations per Stipulation 33. She stated the proposed elevations contain 
architectural embellishments which provide varying roof lines, detailing around 
Attachment C

windows, and textural changes. She stated that the proposed landscape plan 
provides the required open space and landscaping as well as private backyard 
spaces. She stated that the proposed site plan provides for pedestrian 
connectivity to the commercial development to the north, which allows for live, 
work, and play opportunities. She stated that the Laveen Village Planning 
Committee (VPC) unanimously recommended approval.  
 
Adam Stranieri, Planning Hearing Officer, asked for clarification that the subject 
site for this case is comprised solely of property currently within Site A and B as 
depicted on the Conceptual Master Site Plan. Ms. Wilson confirmed that the 
property is fully within Site A and B, and that the proposed modification would 
incorporate the subject site into Site C.  
 
Mr. Stranieri stated he recommended approval of the modification of Stipulation 1 
and noted that the stipulated master site plan was conceptual in nature and the 
adjustment is a modest increase in the size of Site C. He stated that in review of 
the proposed site plan per Stipulation 33, there are no issues regarding 
pedestrian connections with the commercial site to the north. He noted that there 
is appropriate spacing and accessibility to the commercial site per Stipulations 
33.a and 33.b. He stated that the proposed elevations include overhangs to 
promote shade and noted that arcades are not present per Stipulation 33.c, but 
the intent of the stipulation is met through additional architectural features that 
promote and increase shade. He stated that the elevations meet the goals of 
Stipulation 33.d and provide diversity and a 4-sided architecture approach that is 
consistent with goals in the Southwest Growth Study. He stated that the 
architectural style utilizes desert tones and stone accents which is consistent with 
the commercial site to the north and the elevations brought forward in the 
concurrent PHO case to the south, PHO-3-21—Z-47-19-7. He noted that 
Stipulation 33 would be replaced with a stipulation that requires general 
conformance with the proposed plans and elevations. He stated that the 
Archaeology Department noted that the site was designated as archaeologically 
sensitive, but there are existing stipulations concerning the sensitive nature of the 
site. He stated that the Street Transportation Department recommended to 
include an additional stipulation regarding bicycle parking and described nearby 
pedestrian amenities.  
 
FINDINGS: 
 
1) The applicant’s request for modification of Stipulation 1 is recommended 
to be approved.  The proposed modification would adjust the boundary 
line between Sites A and B (to the north) and Site C (to the south).  The 
adjustment reassigns approximately 10.74 gross acres of property from 
the south portion of Sites A and B into the area designated as Site C.  The 
resulting change to the Conceptual Master Site Plan will allow 
development of the subject site as a multifamily residential development

Planning Hearing Officer Summary of November 17, 2021 
Application PHO-2-21--Z-47-19-7 
Page 3 
 
 
subject to the stipulations already established for Site C and as modified in 
this request. 
 
2) The applicant submitted a site plan, landscape plan, and elevations in 
compliance with the requirements for Planning Hearing Officer review in 
Stipulation 33.  The plans are determined to appropriately reflect the 
criteria for review in Stipulations 33.a through 33.e as described below.  
Therefore, it is recommended that Stipulation 33 be deleted and replaced 
with standard language requiring general conformance to these plans and 
elevations.  
 
Stipulations 33.a and 33.b require pedestrian connections with the 
adjacent commercial development and three connections to the 
commercial development to the north.  The proposed site plan depicts the 
required pedestrian connections, as well as detached sidewalks along the 
59th Avenue Frontage and an internal network of pedestrian pathways as 
contemplated in the stipulation. 
 
Stipulation 33.c requires arcades and overhangs in all buildings to 
promote shade.  All building elevations include overhangs.  Arcades are 
not included in the proposed elevations because the proposed building 
types are duplex units designed to reflect a more single-family design 
aesthetic.  There are no apartment style buildings where arcades would 
be appropriate.  The proposed building types and architectural design are 
consistent with goals in the Southwest Growth Study as intended by the 
stipulation. 
 
Stipulation 33.d requires architectural embellishments and detailing.  The 
proposed elevations include multiple building colors, multiple materials 
including stone and wood, vertical elements, varied window sizes, roof 
overhangs, porches, multiple rooflines, and other relevant details.  The 
proposed elevations are consistent with goals in the Southwest Growth 
Study as intended by the stipulation. 
 
Stipulation 33.e requires architectural style consistent with prior phases of 
the project.  The only phase that has progressed at this time is one portion 
of the commercial development to the north (movie theater).  The 
applicant noted that this project is also utilizing desert tones and stone 
accents.  It should also be noted that PHO-3-21--Z-47-19 is a concurrent 
application heard on this agenda that is also proposing a multifamily 
residential development.  This project is also utilizing desert tones and 
stone accents, albeit in a larger scale design.  
 
3) The applicant requested to withdraw their proposed modification of 
Stipulation 34.  No modification is recommended.

Planning Hearing Officer Summary of November 17, 2021 
Application PHO-2-21--Z-47-19-7

4) The Street Transportation Department recommends an additional 
stipulation regarding bicycle parking to be provided per Section 1307.H for 
multifamily development. This stipulation is recommended for inclusion. 
The subject site is in proximity to multiple multi-use trails to the south, 
east, and west, established bike lanes, and is adjacent to the Laveen Area 
Conveyance Channel (LACC) to the north which provides a connection to 
the south bank of the Rio Salado. Bicycle infrastructure supports the 
established and future planned multi-modal network and promotes the 
goals of the City Council approved Complete Streets Policy. 
 
5) An additional stipulation is required to compel the applicant to execute a 
Proposition 207 Waiver of Claims prior to preliminary site plan approval as 
this was not submitted to staff in advance of the Planning Hearing Officer 
hearing.  This stipulation is recommended to be placed as the New 
Stipulation 13, under the heading ‘Overall Site’ so that this applies to any 
land use or any potential future configuration of property and not solely to 
a multifamily development project (as proposed in this request).
