Re: 
Stipulation Modification Request (Case Nos. PHO-2-21 – Z-63-05-8, PHO-1-21 – 
Z-59-18-8, and PHO-1-21 – Z-10-18-8) - Amended 
This application seeks to modify stipulations from three separate zoning cases (Z-63-05, 
Z-59-18, and Z-10-18) for properties located at the northwest corner of 27th Street and Baseline 
Road.  The developers intend to 
assemble 
the 
ten 
parcels 
(collectively, the “Property”) subject 
to the above zoning cases and 
develop them as an integrated unit 
with 
commercial 
uses 
along 
Baseline Road and residential uses 
adjacent to the canal.   
 
Proposed Project 
 
The Applicant, Beus Gilbert 
McGroder, PLLC, is representing 
Baseline 25, LLC (“Baseline 25”), 
Baseline 
RITD, 
LLC, 
Vahik 
Sahakian, and LG Acquisitions, 
LLC (“LGA”) in this application. 
Baseline 25 is developing a retail 
component on the southern half of

#849760v1<BeusGilbert> - Amended Narrative PHO-2-21 -- Z-63-05-8  
the Property, and LGA is developing a residential component on the northern half of the Property.  
Importantly, this application does not seek to rezone the Property. All the uses are allowed under 
their current zoning (i.e., C-1).  However, as there were three separate zoning cases with three 
separate sets of stipulations, the developers need to modify some of the stipulations in the previous 
cases in order to develop the Property as a whole. Additional background on the developers and 
reasons underlying this application to modify certain stipulations are described in greater detail 
herein.  
 
Baseline 25, the developer of the retail portion adjacent to Baseline Road, is led by Randy 
Raskin, a long-time local developer of various commercial and residential projects in the south 
and southwest Valley.  Previous examples of some Mr. Raskin’s projects include, among others:  
• Estrella Mountain Village Center, a mixed use 85-acre project with a 13-acre LA 
Fitness-anchored retail development at the northwest corner of 51st Avenue and 
Baseline Road;  
• A Walmart Super Center and 60,000 square feet of shops at the southwest corner 
of 35th Avenue and Southern Avenue;  
• A Walgreens-anchored development with 65,000 square feet of shops at the 
northeast corner of 35th Avenue and Southern Avenue; 
• A mini-storage and Dunkin Donuts development at southwest corner of 19th 
Avenue and Baseline Road; 
• A 40-acre mixed-use development at the northwest corner of Dobbins and 51st 
Avenue; and 
• A Big Lots-anchored 103,000 square foot retail center redevelopment at the 
northwest corner of 35th Avenue and Baseline Road.    
 
 
LGA, which is helmed locally by Jay Ramos, develops industrial, retail, self-storage, single family 
projects, but focuses on Class A rental communities.  LGA has developed over 3,000 units since 
2015 and currently has 4,700 units in development or construction.  LGA Multifamily was 
recognized as one the nation’s leading developers in 2019 by the National Multi Housing Council.  
LGA’s markets include Dallas, Austin, Raleigh, and Phoenix. Each of LGA’s products is designed 
specifically for the environment and neighborhood in which it is developed. LGA believes that 
good design, focused on each location, yields better neighborhoods.   
 
 
The image of the proposed site plan below, a larger version of which is included in this 
application packet, represents the mix of retail and multifamily uses the developers are proposing.  
Importantly, the proposed development complies with material aspects of Section 651 of the 
Zoning Ordinance, the Baseline Area Overlay District (“BAOD”) that governs development of the 
properties.  In particular as described herein, the proposed development fulfills the purpose of the 
BAOD in that it “protects the rural, agricultural character of the area while allowing development 
in accord with the Baseline Area Master Plan.”

#849760v1<BeusGilbert> - Amended Narrative PHO-2-21 -- Z-63-05-8  
 
 
Multifamily – The properties are zoned C-1, which allows multifamily development under 
the R-3 zoning category (Section 615 of the Zoning Ordinance). Specifically, LGA is proposing 
to utilize the Planned Residential Development (“PRD”) option of the R-3 zoning category to 
construct 138 total units comprised of 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom units with a mix of surface parking 
and tuck-under garages.  The maximum density on the site using the PRD option is 17.40 dwelling 
units per acre with the bonus (15.23 without).  The multifamily portion is 8.12 gross acres with a 
unit count of 138, which results in a density of 16.99 dwelling units per acre.  Section 608.I.2 of 
the Zoning Ordinance provides guidance on additional amenities a developer can provide in order 
to achieve bonus density.  LGA needs 32 bonus points in order to achieve an additional 1.76 
dwelling units per acre. However, as shown on the proposed site plan, LGA is providing amenities 
that achieve 60 bonus density points, including but not limited to, a major entry feature into the 
multifamily development, accent material at the drive entry, furniture along the multi-use trail 
from Baseline to the Western Canal and along the Western Canal, and recreational amenities for 
the development.  
 
The multifamily portion complies with the BAOD, but in particular, the multifamily 
portion maintains the overall BAOD requirement that no structures exceed two-stories or 30 feet, 
and the BAOD requirement specific to multifamily development that a minimum of one-third of 
the buildings do not exceed one-story or 15 feet.  Three of the four buildings in the multifamily 
portion that abut the Western Canal are single story buildings.  The multifamily development 
includes a dog park, shaded seating along the Western Canal, exterior view fencing , pedestrian 
connectivity to both the retail portion and the Western Canal, appropriate landscaping, clubhouse

amenities, and maintains the multiuse trail easement along the eastern portion of the site that will 
provide pedestrian and equestrian connectivity between the Western Canal and Baseline Road.  
LGA is proposing a “prairie ranch house” architectural style as an homage to the rural, agricultural, 
and equestrian nature of the area. 
 
 
Retail – The retail portion of the site is intended to be developed with five pad sites that 
are compatible with the needs of the community, including a mix of service retail and restaurants, 
all of which are allowed in C-1.  Baseline 25 is in negotiations for development of four of the five 
pad sites.  Thus, upon approval of this application, four of the pad sites will be in a position to file 
their own site-specific development applications.  The developers are seeking a site plan 
substitution in connection with this application and are submitting proposed elevations for the 
multifamily portion.  However, since the individual pad sites will need to file their own site-
specific design and/or construction applications, the developers are not submitting proposed 
elevations in connection with this application in order to avoid a bombardment of stipulation 
modification requests.  Such an approach would not be a productive use of either the City’s or the 
neighbors’ time and resources.  
 
 
As stated above, since the properties are governed by three separate zoning cases, each 
with their own stipulations, the developers must seek a modification of some of the stipulations in 
each case in order to develop the site as an integrated, cohesive unit.  The stipulations the 
developers are seeking to modify from each case are discussed below.  
 
Case PHO-2-21 – Z-63-05-8 
 
Introduction 
 
On August 31, 2005, the then owner 
received approval from the City Council to 
rezone the property from R1-14 to C-1 to 
allow a neighborhood commercial shopping 
center.  On June 10, 2016, in case PHO-1-16 
– Z-63-05-8, the owner received approval to 
modify certain stipulations from the 2005 
zoning approval. Although the property was 
rezoned over 15 years ago, it remains vacant 
to this day.  As the property will now be part 
of a larger development comprised of the 
small piece immediately to the north and the 
property to the east, the developers must 
modify the following stipulations from PHO-1-16 – Z-63-05.

#849760v1<BeusGilbert> - Amended Narrative PHO-2-21 -- Z-63-05-8  
Requests 
 
Stipulation No. 1 - Modification – “That the subject property DEVELOPMENT shall be 
developed in general conformance to WITH the CONCEPTUAL site plan and elevations date 
stamped February 19, 2016 MAY 28, 2021, as modified by the following stipulations and as 
approved by the Development Services Department PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT 
DEPARTMENT.”  
• Rationale – As the developers are seeking to incorporate the above property into a 
larger development, the February 19, 2016, site plan and elevations are no longer 
applicable.  The developers are merely seeking to substitute the existing approved 
site plan for one that will be approved in this application.  
Stipulation No. 2 - Deletion – “That the subject property be developed with only one access 
on 25th Street as approved by the Development Services Department.” 
• Rationale - Limiting access from 25th Street was only necessary because of the 
narrow frontage on Baseline Road when the property was going to be developed 
independently. As shown on the above site plan, the property will now be part of 
the larger development that will have primary access from 25th Street as well as a 
driveway between 25th Street and 27th Street for the retail portion, and primary 
access from 27th Street for the multifamily portion.  The multifamily portion will 
have secondary access from where 25th Street intersects with Baseline Road.  In 
addition to the foregoing, deleting Stipulation No. 3 is consistent with the 
abandonment of 25th Street as required in Case No. Z-10-18. 
Stipulation No. 3 - Deletion – “That the developer 
provide one point of cross access from the subject property to the 
commercial site located to the west of the site, as approved by 
the Planning and Development Department.”  
• Rationale – Providing cross access to the west 
was only necessary because of the narrow 
frontage on Baseline Road when the property was 
going to be developed independently. As shown 
on the above site plan, the property will now be 
part of the larger development that will have cross 
access easements for all pad sites as well as the 
multifamily portion providing for optimum 
circulation within the site.  In addition, although 
not required, the developers intend to seek the 
ability to use the private street to the west (yellow 
arrow in image to the left) that could provide an

additional point of ingress and egress that will mitigate traffic impacts on Baseline 
Road.  
 
Case PHO-1-21 – Z-59-18-8 
 
Introduction 
 
On January 9, 2019, the owner 
of the small residential piece just north 
of the above zoning case received 
approval from the City Council to 
rezone the property from R1-14 to C-1 
to combine the northern piece and the 
southern piece and incorporate the two 
into one commercial retail center.  The 
owner of this property had also 
previously acquired the property to the 
south so they are now owned by a 
single owner.  Although both rezoning 
cases were approved, no development 
has since occurred.  This zoning case 
included a site plan that ostensibly 
replaced and superseded the site plan 
and elevations from the 2005 rezoning case.  However, as no specific finding was made regarding 
the 2005 site plan, the Applicant is seeking the necessary modifications to both site plans in an 
effort to be clear and comprehensive. As the property will now be part of a larger development 
comprised of the small piece immediately to the north and the property to the east, the developers 
must modify the following stipulations.  
 
Requests 
 
Stipulation No. 1 - Modification – “THAT Tthe development shall be in general 
conformance with the conceptual site plan AND ELEVATIONS date stamped August 21, 2018 
MAY 26, 2021, as may be modified for compliance with the canal bank design guidelines in 
Section 507 Tab A of the Zoning Ordinance, BY THE FOLLOWING STIPULATIONS and AS 
approved by the Planning and Development Department, and with specific regard to the following: 
PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT” 
• Rationale – As the developers are seeking to incorporate the above property into a 
larger development, the August 21, 2018, conceptual site plan is no longer 
applicable.  Moreover, the development will be developed in conformance with 
design standards for property adjacent to the Western Canal. The developers are

#849760v1<BeusGilbert> - Amended Narrative PHO-2-21 -- Z-63-05-8  
merely seeking to substitute the existing approved site plan for one that will be 
approved in this application.  
Stipulation No. 1.a - Deletion – “Pedestrian pathway to provide open public access to 
amenities on the adjacent property to the east to be constructed of decorative pavers, stamped or 
colored concrete, or another material, other than those used to pave the parking surfaces and drive 
aisles.” 
• Rationale – Providing pedestrian pathways to be constructed of decorative 
materials to the property to the east was only included because of the narrow width 
of the property when it was going to be developed independently. As shown on the 
above site plan, the property will now be part of the larger development that will 
have pedestrian pathways and vehicular cross access easements for all pad sites as 
well as the multifamily portion providing for optimum circulation within the site.  
In addition, although not required, the developers intend to seek the ability to use 
the private street to the west (yellow arrow in image to the left) that could provide 
an additional point of ingress and egress and will mitigate traffic impacts on 
Baseline Road.    
Stipulation No. 1.b - Deletion – “Vehicular cross access to adjacent properties to the east 
and south, as approved by the Planning and Development Department.”  
• Rationale – Providing vehicular cross access to the properties to the east and south 
was only included because of the narrow width of the property when it was going 
to be developed independently. As shown on the above site plan, the property will 
now be part of the larger development that will have pedestrian pathways and 
vehicular cross access easements for all pad sites as well as the multifamily portion 
providing for optimum circulation within the site.  In addition, although not 
required, the developers intend to seek the ability to use the private street to the 
west (yellow arrow in image above) that could provide an additional point of 
ingress and egress and will mitigate traffic impacts on Baseline Road. 
Stipulation No. 3 - Deletion – “If the subject site develops as a stand-alone parcel and does 
not provide an alternative street frontage to that existing along 25th Street, then the developer shall 
be responsible for the dedication and construction of an offset cul-de-sac bulb at the northern 
portion of 25th Street, south of the Western Canal, as approved by the Planning and Development 
and Street Transportation Department.” 
• Rationale – This stipulation was only necessary because of the narrow frontage on 
Baseline Road if the property was going to be developed independently. As shown 
on the above site plan, the property will now be part of the larger development that 
will have primary access from 25th Street and a driveway between 25th Street and 
27th Street for the retail portion, and primary access from 27th Street for the 
multifamily portion.  The multifamily portion will have secondary access from 
where 25th Street intersects with Baseline Road.  In addition to the foregoing,

deleting Stipulation No. 3 is consistent with the abandonment of 25th Street as 
required in Case No. Z-10-18, which the developers intend to pursue. 
 
Case PHO-1-21 – Z-10-18-8 
 
Introduction 
 
On July 2, 2018, Baseline 
25 received approval from the City 
Council 
for 
a 
General 
Plan 
Amendment and rezoning case for 
property owned by Baseline 25 and 
Baseline RITD, LLC from R1-10 
and R1-14 to C-1 to allow for 
commercial and medical uses.  
Although approved approximately 
three years prior, the properties 
have not developed as anticipated 
in the rezoning case.  As the 
property will now be part of a larger 
development comprised of the 
properties 
to 
the 
west, 
the 
developers 
must 
modify 
the 
following stipulations. 
 
Requests 
 
Stipulation No. 1 - Modification – “THAT Tthe development shall be in general 
conformance with the conceptual planning SITE plan AND ELEVATIONS date stamped June 25, 
2018 MAY 26, 2021, as modified by the following stipulations and AS approved by the Planning 
and Development Department., and with specific regard to the following:” 
• Rationale – As the developers are seeking to incorporate the above property into a 
larger development, the June 25, 2018, conceptual planting plan is no longer 
applicable.  The developers are merely seeking to substitute the existing approved 
conceptual planting plan for one that will be submitted as part of this application. 
Stipulation No. 1.a - Deletion – “The quantity and configuration of drive-through facilities 
on the subject site.” 
• Rationale – As the developers are seeking to incorporate the above property into a 
larger development, which depicts the location and configuration of structures with 
drive-through facilities, this stipulation is no longer applicable.  Under the proposed

#849760v1<BeusGilbert> - Amended Narrative PHO-2-21 -- Z-63-05-8  
site plan, the retail portion is providing appropriate screening, and parking along 
the street side is provided in order to ensure that any retail buildings with drive-
through facilities have the windows facing away from residential areas and away 
from the perimeter street.  As indicated on the proposed site plan included with this 
application, no drive through windows face east toward any residential areas or 
south towards Baseline Road.  
Stipulation No. 1.b - Deletion – “The configuration of 27th Street, which aligns with the 
existing portion of 27th Street south of Baseline Road.” 
• Rationale – It is the developer’s understanding that the reconfiguration of 27th Street 
was proposed in the event a traffic signal were required at that intersection in the 
future.  However, the proposed development did not meet the signal warrants 
necessary to justify the installation of a traffic signal. Moreover, the residential 
neighbors immediately to the east of the Properties across 27th Street as well as the 
neighbors across Baseline Road to the south were, and are, opposed to the 
reconfiguration of 27th Street.  Thus, the City did not want to incur the expense 
associated with an unwarranted and unwanted traffic signal.  Nevertheless, it is the 
developer’s understanding that the reconfiguration of the 27th Street alignment was 
added at the last minute during the City Council hearing in this case over the 
objection of the applicant and the residential neighbors.  Accordingly, the 
developers request that this stipulation be deleted.  
Stipulation No. 2 - Deletion – “The development shall be in general conformance with the 
elevations date stamped February 12, 2018, as modified by the following stipulations and approved 
by the Planning and Development Department.” 
• Rationale – As the developers are seeking to incorporate the above property into a 
larger development, the February 12, 2018, elevations are no longer applicable.  It 
is not necessary to have a separate stipulation concerning elevations.   
Stipulation No. 2.a: Modification – “Pitched roof elements shall be incorporated in all 
SOME OF THE buildings IN THE DEVELOPMENT.” 
• Rationale – Although pitched roofs are a presumption in the BAOD, the developers 
of the retail portion are seeking some relief from that presumption but are providing 
increased standards of the quality of development consistent with the BAOD as is 
evident from the attached documents. In addition, some of the pad sites are 
incorporating pitched roof elements into their individual designs that will be 
submitted to the City in connection with those applications. Having alternative 
styles of roof elements provides architectural interest along the streetscape.  
Stipulation No. 3.b: Modification – “Equestrian corral area containing hHitching posts 
WITH ROOM for MULTIPLE horses, SHADED LANDSCAPING, AND WATER FOR 
EQUINE CONSUMPTION WILL BE PROVIDED along the northern property align LINE 
adjacent to the Western Canal.”

#849760v1<BeusGilbert> - Amended Narrative PHO-2-21 -- Z-63-05-8  
• Rationale – The request for a corral may have been well-intentioned, but the 
developers are cognizant of the potential liability associated with a corral on private 
property that is made available for public use.  However, although the corral will 
likely never be used, the developers also recognize the desire to maintain the rural, 
agricultural ambiance of the BAOD, and accordingly are not seeking to delete the 
stipulation entirely.  The developers are willing to provide an area that is consistent 
with the equestrian trials in the area, but seek to create an environment that is more 
safe and secure than an open corral.
