We whole-heartedly request alignment to the Rio Montana Plan and agree with all requests below. Please consider the adverse impact to our community in your decision making. My name is Gina Johnson and my husband and I own the property at 1816 W Magdalena Lane, which is near the proposed Bella Rosa development, Z-47-17-8/2-22--Z-47-17-8. Based on the original plans and the currently proposed ones, I respectfully request consideration and amendment of several elements of this plan to better align with the neighborhood. The items of concern the current Bella Rosa plan calls for are: 3.51 acres per home (18 houses on 5 acres) 2 story+30' height homes 9% open space The original stipulated Bella Rosa site plan called for: 3.03 houses per acre 2 story+30' height homes ~14% open space The proposed site is not in keeping with the current design and density precedents that have been established in the area nor is it in keeping with the originally approved plan for density. It is also not in keeping with the Rio Montana Plan in key elements based on the currently submitted documents. The last 2 approved R1-10 developments, Kimura and Andora, which are located at the intersection of 19th Ave. and W. South Mountain Ave. (barely 600ft from Bella Rosa) have these requirements: Kimura 3 houses per acre All single story 16.5% open space minimum lot width of 55' Varied lot widths Landscape setback from 19th Ave. is 154' Energy Star building Andora 2.5 houses per acre All single story 17% open space minimum lot widths of 75' Attachment E 2 Landscape setback from 19th Ave is 25' Energy Star building Bella Rosa should be held to the same design standards that Kimura and Andora have agreed to, which are much more compatible with our rural character. Much has changed in the area since the original plans for this development were approved and this development should be brought up to date concerning what is in keeping with currently approved applications in terms of density, open space, house height and also heat mitigation efforts. Please consider the following items to require from this development to preserve our "certainty of character" and allow Bella Rosa to better align with the established design precedents for our community and the Rio Montana Plan: Housing density no higher than the originally approved plan: 3.03 Single story homes (the only facade designs offered were single story in the application but the site details appear to indicate all 2 story + 30' homes) Landscaped setback from 19th Ave. no less than 25' (which is achievable with the originally approved density) Increased setback from 20th Ave and esp. if 2-story houses are approved. Additional heat mitigation requirements: front yard trees to shade driveways and sidewalks plus any additional requirements the city's heat mitigation department has designated. Minimum 50% 3" caliper trees as well. Energy Star and other energy efficient/sustainable building methods Electric vehicle charging The set back from 20th Ave. is appreciated and should not be diminished but it does not ameliorate the fact that 2-story +30' foot high houses would be towering over and looking into the western neighbor's properties, all of whom have S- 1 homes with single stories. In fact, all the neighbors surrounding this proposed development on the west and south are on acre+ S-1 properties. The Rio Montana Plan calls for maintaining a feeling of open space to maintain rural character. One way to do this has been to have deep setbacks from major streets and requiring this feature for Bella Rosa is completely appropriate and in keeping with what all other developers along 19th Ave. have agreed to. As a reminder, the Rio Montana Plan calls for (among other criteria): Any development to be sensitive to the surrounding area, inc. existing development, and consider the larger context in which it is located. Limiting the use of two story buildings Provide deep overhangs/covered porches Shade for pedestrian comfort Trees on east and west sides of buildings Varying roof lines, facade designs and materials, rear-loaded garages (no "garage-scaping"), staggered setback lines, no privacy fencing The common objective for single family development is more variety than standard subdivisions being built throughout the Valley The community simply wants the city to keep the promise it made to residents by holding developers to the guidelines outlined in the general and village development plans.

This application does not meet that standard and if approved as-is, I do not want it to be considered as precedent for future applications. Further, I am extremely concerned with increased traffic along this corridor. There are currently safety concerns with the open SRP irrigation to the east of this property along with speed of traffic that flows from the intersection of 19th Avenue & Baseline and flows to Dobbins Road. Speed is excessive and the multi lane merging into single lanes is a continual problem I would like to see the developers responsible for road improvements that benefit the area, not just their development.

I oppose the proposed density for this development at 3.5 units per acre. South Mountain has worked very hard to maintain our rural character, as outlined in the Rio Montana Plan. The proposed density is inconsistent with that plan and is inconsistent with optimal land use for South Mountain. Beyond that, all of the current homes in this area are single-story – the proposed 60% of two story homes does not match the neighborhood. We truly support development that is consistent with and compatible with the currently in place surrounding neighbors and accords with the Rio Montana development plan. This application does not meet that standard, and if approved as presented, it will provide a density precedent which is inappropriate for this community. Thank you very much.

My wife and I own the property at 2020 W. South Mountain Ave, which is directly across 20th Ave. from the proposed Bella Rosa development, Z-47-17-8/2-22--Z-47-17-8. Here are my comments on the proposed changes. I do not oppose the increased density. I do oppose two story houses along 20th Ave and the south side of the property bordering the existing homes. People who have lived here for decades deserve a reasonable level of privacy. Recently approved developments nearby have all maintained a single story limitation. The proposed site is not in keeping with the current design precedents that have been recently established in the area.

Much has changed in the area since the original plans for this development were approved and this development should be brought up to date concerning what is in keeping with currently approved applications in terms of density, open space, house height and also heat mitigation efforts. Please require the following items from this development, to preserve our "certainty of character" and allow Bella Rosa to better align with the established design precedents for our community and the Rio Montana Plan: Single story homes (the only facade designs offered were single story in the application but the site details appear to indicate all 2 story + 30' homes) Increased setback from 20th Ave. Additional heat mitigation requirements: Cool roofs, front yard trees to shade driveways and sidewalks plus any additional requirements the city's heat mitigation department has designated. Minimum 50% 3" caliper trees as well. Energy Star and other energy efficient/sustainable building methods. The setback from 20th Ave. is appreciated and should not be reduced but it does not ameliorate the fact that 2-story +30' foot high houses would be towering over and looking into my and my neighbor's properties. We all have homes zoned S-1 homes with single stories. In fact, all the neighbors surrounding this proposed development on the west and south are on acre+ S-1 properties and have single story homes. The Rio Montana Plan calls for maintaining a feeling of 2 open space to maintain rural character. One way to do this has been to require single stories and have deep setbacks from major streets.

South Mountain Ave. (barely 600ft from Bella Rosa) have these requirements: Kimura • 3 houses per acre • All single story • 16.5% open space • minimum lot width of 55' • Varied lot widths • Landscape setback from 19th Ave. is 154' • Energy Star building Andora • 2.5 houses per acre • All single story • 17% open space • minimum lot widths of 75' • Landscape setback from 19th Ave is 25' • Energy Star building Bella Rosa should be held to the same design standards that Kimura and Andora have agreed to, which are much more compatible with our rural character. Much has changed in the area since the original plans for this development were approved and this development should be brought up to date concerning what is in keeping with currently approved applications in terms of density, open space, house height and also heat mitigation efforts. 2 Please consider the following items to require from this development to preserve our "certainty of character" and allow Bella Rosa to better align with the established design precedents for our community and the Rio Montana Plan: • Housing density no higher than the originally approved plan: 3.03 • Single story homes (the only facade designs offered were single story in the application but the site details appear to indicate all 2 story + 30' homes) • Landscaped setback from 19th Ave. no less than 25' (which is achievable with the originally approved density) • Increased setback from 20th Ave and esp. if 2-story houses are approved. • Additional heat mitigation requirements: front yard trees to shade driveways and sidewalks plus any additional requirements the city's heat mitigation department has designated. Minimum 50% 3" caliper trees as well. • Energy Star and other energy efficient/sustainable building methods • Electric vehicle charging The set back from 20th Ave. is appreciated and should not be diminished but it does not ameliorate the fact that 2-story +30' foot high houses would be towering over and looking into the western neighbor's properties, all of whom have S- 1 homes with single stories. In fact, all the neighbors surrounding this proposed development on the west and south are on acre+ S-1 properties. The Rio Montana Plan calls for maintaining a feeling of open space to maintain rural character. One way to do this has been to have deep setbacks from major streets and requiring this feature for Bella Rosa is completely appropriate and in keeping with what all other developers along 19th Ave. have agreed to. As a reminder, the Rio Montana Plan calls for (among other criteria): • Any development to be sensitive to the surrounding area, inc. existing development, and consider the larger context in which it is located. • Limiting the use of two story buildings • Provide deep overhangs/covered porches • Shade for pedestrian comfort • Trees on east and west sides of buildings • Varying roof lines, facade designs and materials, rear-loaded garages (no "garage-scaping"), staggered setback lines, no privacy fencing • The common objective for single family development is more variety than standard subdivisions being built throughout the Valley The community simply wants the city to keep the promise it made to residents by holding developers to the guidelines outlined in the general and village development plans.

Once again I find myself concerned with the decisions that are being made by those that represent our community. I am supportive of responsible development that improves an area and provides for the quality of living that all community members should be afforded. I support the decisions and agreements that were made as part of the City and Community initiative with the Rio Montana Plan -- which had a strong vision to develop this area in a responsible manner. I support development that maintains the character of our rural community and is compatible with the agreements of Rio Montana. I do not support PHO-2-22--Z-47-17-8, which goes against the Rio Montana plan -- This application does not meet the standards that the community in good faith negotiated with the City. Please represent your community and vote against setting a bad precedent. Thankyou for your time and consideration.

The property is surrounded by S-1 properties and the density is not appropriate for the area. Our community has worked hard to preserve our rural way of life & preserve the land close to South Mountain. We see the zonings continually eroded by multiple re-zoning/re-submissions. Each time increasing the density over what is appropriate for the area. I do support responsible zoning that reflects the area & follows all of the Rio Montana plan. I would like to register to speak & donate my time to Jewel Clark as a spokesperson for our entire community. Thank you, Julie Willcox 9050 S 23rd Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85041
