1 Racelle Escolar From: KIM Domovich <rwvblkwatch@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, August 29, 2021 4:12 PM To: PDD Planning Commission Subject: agenda items 5,6,7,8 and 11 For your consideration, We are opposed to the increased residential changes in items on the agenda, 5,6,7,8 and 11, requesting zoning changes. In the Laveen and Estrella village areas we do not have the infrastructure to support the existing residents. The incredible amount of people that would be expected to support the many units planned by developers would completely stagger our schools, streets, emergency and safety officers, etc. We beg some consideration and no approvals be made until a plan to support the influx of people is studied and made operational. Thank you, Kim and Michael Domovich Laveen, 85339 Attachment E Ra’Desha Williams 6767 West Encinas Lane Phoenix, AZ 85043 City of Phoenix Planning and Development Department Attn: Enrique Bojorquez – Gaxiola 200 West Washington Street Phoenix, AZ 85003 RE: Rezoning Case Nos. Z-15-21 and Z-SP-1-21 Dear Mr. Bojorquez-Gaxiola, I am writing to express my opposition to the rezoning and special permit for the property located at the southeast corner of 67th Avenue and Broadway. The applicant is proposing the use of a self-service storage facility for the site and this particular use is not suitable for this area in the Estrella Village. I have a few reasons for my opposition to Rezoning Case Nos. Z-15-21 and Z-SP-1-21: • Concerns with a new self-service and outdoor RV storage facility being adjacent to single- family residential, and its proximity to two new single-family subdivisions (Meritage Homes) • Concerns with traffic congestion to and from Loop 202 and at the intersection of Broadway and 67th Avenue • There are currently approximately 8 self-service and/or RV storage facility in proximity to the site. • Concerns with the carbon footprint in the environment of a new structure self-service storage facility. The applicant should consider adaptive reuse opportunities in non-residential areas that are close to the area they intend to serve. • With the rise of single-family development with the minimum of a two-car garage in the Estrella and Laveen Villages storage is not an issue. These two communities need more grocery stores, eateries, and neighborhood retail to provide everyday essentials and services to the residents in the area. Please deny the Rezoning Case No. Z-SP-1-21 to allow a self-service and RV storage facility on the southeast corner of 67th Avenue and Broadway Road. As the city continues to grow and develop around grey infrastructure, it is important to put a limit on particular uses, like self-service storage facilities, to create thriving communities. Thriving communities are built on a foundation of hope. It is up to developers and the City of Phoenix to shape the community to a just future. Sincerely, Ra’Desha Williams, Estrella Village Resident
