Background/Issues/Analysis
SUBJECT SITE
1.
This request is to rezone 7.53 acres located approximately 255 feet east of the 
northeast corner of 43rd Avenue and Baseline Road from S-1 PCD (Ranch or 
Farm Residence, Planned Community District) to C-1 (Neighborhood Retail) to 
allow commercial uses. The subject site is currently vacant and undeveloped. 
SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING 
2. 
The requested C-1 (Neighborhood Retail) zoning district will support additional 
commercial uses within the Laveen Village. The property to the north and east is 
a drainage channel and retention basin zoned S-1 PCD (Ranch or Farm 
Residence, Planned Community District). The properties to the south, across 
Baseline Road, are developed with a church and school zoned S-1 (Ranch or 
Farm Residence). To the west, across 43rd Avenue are single-family residences 
zoned R1-8 (Single-Family Residence District). Finally, the property to the 
southwest of the subject site is developed with a medical clinic zoned C-O 
(Commercial Office District).

GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION 
3. 
The subject site, as well as the surrounding area to the north, east, and west are 
designated Residential 3.5 to 5 dwelling units per acre. The area to the south, 
across Baseline Road is designated as Residential 2 to 3.5 dwelling units per 
acre. A concurrent minor General Plan Land Use Map amendment case, GPA-
LV-2-23-7, is proposed to change the land use map designation of the subject 
site and the property to the southwest to Commercial. The minor General Plan 
Amendment would also change the designation to the north and east to 
Residential 0 to 1 dwelling units per acre, to be consistent with the existing land 
use.

PROPOSAL
4.
Site Plan
The conceptual site plan depicts a total of six commercial lots. Four lots are 
located along Baseline Road and the other two are located on the northern 
portion of the site. The subject site contains two vehicle access points along 
Baseline Road and another along 43rd Avenue. Pedestrian connections are 
recommended throughout the site to ensure a safe pedestrian environment and 
promote connectivity. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 2. The proposed site 
plan does not meet the landscape setback along the north, east, and west 
property lines, as a result, staff does not recommend general conformance. 
Lots 1, 2, and 3 depict drive-through restaurants with access via Baseline Road. 
All three lots include patios for outdoor seating areas located on the south side of 
the buildings. The location of the patios would allow for easier access to the multi-
use trail located along Baseline Road.

Staff Report: Z-29-23-7

Page 6 of 17
Lot 4 depicts a restaurant without a queuing lane. There are no specific 
elevations proposed for Lot 4. Future development of Lot 4 will be subject to the 
approved stipulations of this case and the Zoning Ordinance requirements. Staff 
recommends that site plans for any future development on Lot 4 be reviewed and 
approved by the Planning Hearing Officer through the public hearing process. 
This is addressed in Stipulation No. 19. 
Lot 5, located on the northeast portion of the subject site, does not have a specific 
development plan. Although no development plan exists, any future development 
is subject to the approved stipulations for this case and the Zoning Ordinance 
requirements. Staff recommends that site plans and elevations for any future 
development on Lot 5 be reviewed and approved by the Planning Hearing Officer 
through the public hearing process. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 22. 
Finally, Lot 6, which is located on the northwest corner of the site, is depicted as a 
child care center. The proposed development will have access via 43rd Avenue 
which will serve the surrounding single-family residential neighborhoods. 
Furthermore, a large building setback is proposed on the east side of 43rd 
Avenue to serve as a buffer to the residential uses across the street.

restaurant has a unique architectural style. The Burros & Fries elevations depict 
modern architecture with accent materials of brick. Furthermore, the restaurant is 
proposing shaded outdoor seating and numerous window sizes. Freddy’s Frozen 
Custard depicts a primarily stucco structure with accent red brick. The proposed 
Freddy’s Frozen Custard renderings also depicts an outdoor seating area. Finally, 
the Starbucks renderings proposes a modern architectural aesthetic with accent 
metal material and public art. Lots 4 and 5 do not have any conceptual elevations 
or renderings. Elevations for any future development on Lot 4 and Lot 5 of the site 
shall be reviewed and approved by the Planning Hearing Officer through the 
public hearing process. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 19 and 22. Finally, 
Lot 6 depicts a stucco exterior with overhangs located along building entrances.
To ensure that all proposed buildings on the subject site have a consistent
architectural theme, staff is recommending an agrarian architectural design 
stipulation. This stipulation would ensure that all perimeter facing elevations 
contain features of modern agrarian architecture such as pitched roofs, variation 
in window size, overhang canopies, and exterior accent materials. This is 
addressed in Stipulation No. 1.

PLANS, OVERLAYS, AND INITIATIVES
6. 
Laveen Southwest Growth Study:
The site is located within the 
boundaries of the Laveen Southwest 
Growth Study, which was developed 
in 1997 to analyze the existing 
conditions of the Laveen Village and 
provide a land use and design 
planning framework to help shale the 
growth that Laveen was starting to 
experience, while accounting for 
newly annexed farmland as well as 
the future development of the South 
Mountain Freeway Loop, which has 
since been completed. This plan 
designates the project site as 
Commerce Park. Although not 
consistent with the designation, 
recent land use trends in the area,
such as single-family residential, 
commercial, and schools, support 
commercial uses. 
The Laveen Southwest Growth Study 
also outlines specific design policies 
and standards for various types of 
development that will enhance 
Laveen’s built environment while 
remaining respectful to its agricultural 
heritage. The study encourages all 
Laveen Southwest Growth Study Land Use Map

new development to use durable, high quality building materials and to provide 
enhanced building design that will contribute to the character of the area. 
Staff recommends that the proposed development include a variety of 
architectural features to be consistent with a modern farmhouse design. 
Furthermore, pedestrian pathways and connections are recommended 
throughout the site as well as adequate lighting. Finally, staff recommends 
numerous stipulations to further shade the subject development including 
enhanced landscaped entry drives. This is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 1, 2, 4, 
5, and 6. 
7.
Tree and Shade Master Plan:
The Tree and Shade Master Plan encourages treating the urban forest as 
infrastructure to ensure the trees are an integral part of the City’s planning and

Staff Report: Z-29-23-7 
September 1, 2023 
Page 10 of 17 
 
 
development process. By investing in trees and the urban forest, the city can 
reduce its carbon footprint, decrease energy costs, reduce storm water runoff, 
increase biodiversity, address the urban heat island effect, clean the air, and 
increase property values. In addition, trees can help create walkable streets and 
vibrant pedestrian places. Staff is recommending stipulations designed to provide 
trees and enhance shade within the development as follows:  
 
 
 
x All pedestrian walkways shall be shaded by a structure, landscaping at 
maturity, or a combination of the two to provide 75 percent shade 
(Stipulation No. 4);  
 
 
 
x Primary entry and exit drives shall incorporate enhanced landscaping on 
both sides, planted with a variety of at least three plant materials 
(Stipulation No. 5);   
 
 
 
x All uncovered surface parking shall achieve 25 percent shade at maturity 
utilizing two-inch caliper size, single trunk, large canopy drought tolerant 
trees (Stipulation No. 6);  
 
 
 
x Bicycle parking spaces shall be shaded by a structure, landscaping at 
maturity, or a combination of the two to provide 75 percent shade 
(Stipulation No. 7);  
 
 
 
x Detached sidewalk along 43rd Avenue shall be planted with two-inch 
caliper trees and drought tolerant shrubs (Stipulation No. 13);  
 
 
 
x Detached sidewalk along Baseline Road shall be planted with two-inch 
caliper trees and drought tolerant shrubs (Stipulation No. 14). 
 
 
8. 
Complete Streets Guiding Principles: 
In 2014, the City of Phoenix City Council adopted the Complete Streets Guiding 
Principles. The principles are intended to promote improvements that provide an 
accessible, safe, connected transportation system to include all modes, such as 
bicycles, pedestrians, transit, and vehicles. To provide a safe pedestrian 
environment staff is recommending enhanced pavement treatment for the on-site 
pedestrian walkways that cross vehicular drive isles. This is addressed in 
Stipulation No. 3. Additionally, enhanced pedestrian pathways, connections and 
elements shall be provided as detailed in Stipulation No. 2. Furthermore, a multi-
use trail is required along Baseline Road and 43rd Avenue. The trail will allow for 
numerous forms of pedestrian transportation such as walking and bicycling. This 
is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 8 and 9. This development will help enhance the 
immediate street frontage by providing a detached sidewalk along 43rd Avenue 
and Baseline Road. In addition, any street improvements will be done to the city

Staff Report: Z-29-23-7 
September 1, 2023 
Page 11 of 17 
 
 
of Phoenix and ADA standards. These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 13, 14, 
and 16.    
 
 
9. 
Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan  
The City of Phoenix adopted the Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan in 2014 to 
guide the development of its Bikeway System and supportive infrastructure. The 
Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan supports options for both short- and long 
term bicycle parking as a means of promoting bicyclist traffic to a variety of 
destinations. As stipulated, the project will provide bicycling parking spaces  
throughout the development, installed per the requirements in the city’s Walkable 
Urban (WU) Code. Furthermore, bicycle parking must be landscaped or covered 
to achieve 75 percent shade. Finally, all lots shall include electric receptacles for 
electric bicycle charging capabilities. This is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 7, 20, 
21, 23, and 24.  
 
 
10. 
Transportation Electrification Action Plan 
In June 2022, the Phoenix City Council approved the Transportation 
Electrification Action Plan. The current market desire for the electrification of 
transportation is both a national and global phenomenon, fueled by a desire for 
better air quality, a reduction in carbon emissions, and a reduction in vehicle 
operating and maintenance costs. Businesses, governments and the public are 
signaling strong future demand for electric vehicles (EVs), and many automobile 
manufacturers have declared plans for a transition to fully electric offerings within 
the coming decade. This Plan contains policy initiatives to prepare the City for a 
future filled with more EVs, charging infrastructure and e-mobility equity, and 
outlines a roadmap for a five-step plan to prepare for the EV infrastructure needs 
of 280,000 EVs in Phoenix by 2030. One goal of the Plan to accelerate public 
adoption of electric vehicles through workplace, business, and multifamily 
charging infrastructure recommends a standard stipulation for rezoning cases to 
provide EV charging infrastructure. This is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 10, 21, 
and 24. 
 
 
11. 
Phoenix Climate Action Plan 
In October 2021, the Phoenix City Council approved the Climate Action Plan. The 
Climate Action Plan will serve as a long-term plan to achieve greenhouse gas 
emissions reductions and resiliency goals from local operations and community 
activities as well as prepare for the impacts of climate change. This plan contains 
policy and initiatives regarding stationary energy, transportation, waste 
management, air quality, local food systems, heat, and water. Goal W2 (Water), 
Action W2.4, pertains to the implementation of the Greater Phoenix Metro Green 
Infrastructure (GI) and Low Impact Development Details for Alternative 
Stormwater Management to benefit the environment, promote water conservation, 
reduce urban heat, improve the public health, and create additional green spaces. 
This goal is addressed in Stipulation No. 11, which requires a minimum of two GI

Staff Report: Z-29-23-7 
September 1, 2023 
Page 12 of 17 
 
 
techniques for stormwater management to be implemented in this development. 
 
 
12. 
Zero Waste PHX: 
The City of Phoenix is committed to its waste diversion efforts and has set a goal 
to become a zero waste city, as part of the city’s overall 2050 Environmental 
Sustainability Goals. One of the ways Phoenix can achieve this is to improve and 
expand its recycling and other waste diversion programs. Section 716 of the 
Phoenix Zoning Ordinance establishes standards to encourage the provision of 
recycling containers for multifamily, commercial, and mixed-use developments 
meeting certain criteria. The provision of recycling containers was not addressed 
in the applicant’s submittals. 
 
 
COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY 
13. 
As of the writing of this report, staff has received fourteen letters of opposition and 
one letter of support for this rezoning application. The stated concerns are an 
increase in traffic congestion, crime, security, and vandalism. 
 
 
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 
14.  Street Transportation Department  
The Street Transportation Department has requested access points on Baseline 
Road to be limited to right-in/right out turn movements only. Additionally, the 
streetscape along 43rd Avenue and Baseline Road should be replenished with 
shaded trees. Furthermore, all existing power lines along Baseline Road shall be 
undergrounded and all street improvements must comply with City and ADA 
standards. These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16. 
 
 
OTHER 
15. 
The site has not been identified as being archeologically sensitive. However, in 
the event archaeological materials are encountered during construction, all 
ground disturbing activities must cease within a 33-foot radius of the discovery 
and the City of Phoenix Archaeology Office must be notified immediately and 
allowed time to properly assess the materials. This is addressed in Stipulation  
No. 17.

Re:  
LeƩer of OpposiƟon (Z-29-23) 
 
NEC W. Baseline Road and 43rd Ave Phoenix 85339 - Extended Stay Hotel 
 
 
To whom it may concern:  
 
Because of the fentanyl crisis and other challenges stemming from the intersecƟon of 51st Avenue and 
Baseline, it is evident that this parƟcular intersecƟon would be a poor locaƟon for an extended stay hotel 
or similar business. 
 
An extended stay hotel could potenƟally provide space for folks acƟvely parƟcipaƟng in the illegal acƟviƟes 
our community witnesses on a daily basis.  
 
Furthermore, there are at least 4 schools a short distance away, including 3 across the street on Baseline.  
 
 
 
Developing this lot for an extended stay hotel would be detrimental to their safety and the posiƟve growth 
of our community.   
 
Please see a link to an Arizona State University publicaƟon regarding Disorder at Budget Motels. 
hƩps://popcenter.asu.edu/sites/default/Įles/disorder_at_budget_motels.pdf

Issues for long-term stay hotels typically include: 
-
Disturbances
-
DomesƟc violence
-
TheŌ
-
Auto theŌ
-
Public drinking
-
Vandalism
-
ProsƟtuƟon
-
Drug dealing
-
AltercaƟons
-
Sexual Assault
These types of hotels also typically have limited staī that may be overwhelmed if such illegal acƟvity were 
to occur. Not to menƟon that the nearest police staƟon is in Maryvale, more than 10 miles away.
As a community, I urge the City to document this leƩer of opposiƟon and prevent the development of an 
extended-stay hotel at this locaƟon. 
Please feel free to contact me with any quesƟons.
Sincerely,
Vanessa Troglia

Planned Hotel 43rd Avenue and Baseline Rd

Hello, 
Your information was passed through the Living Laveen Facebook Page as the primary contact to express 
concerns about plans to build a hotel (extended stay type of hotel), at the intersection of 43rd Avenue and 
Baseline Rd. I am writing this email to express my concerns with the plans for this hotel. 
Currently, the Laveen area, particularly 51st Avenue and Baseline, is experiencing a tremendous problem 
with homelessness, drug use, and violent crime. Over the past few years, this problem has continued to 
escalate to proportions I have not seen in other suburban areas of town. On any given day, there are literally 
people urinating, defecating, participating in sex acts, and using drugs in broad daylight, on the street. I 
have counted between 30-50 people on this corner at any given time, every single day. The local businesses 
will not do anything to remedy the issues. The police will not do anything to remedy the issues. Local 
government officials will not do anything to remedy the issues. The issues get worse by the day. 
In the last two days, Circle K had an attempted robbery by a man armed with a gun, a machete, and a 
broomstick. Chipotle had crime scene tape around it and blood puddles on the concrete. A naked man was 
rolling in the grass near Safeway. And those are just the incidents I am aware of over the last TWO DAYS, 
all of which occurred in broad daylight. 
An extended stay hotel, one mile down the road, will turn into a hub for drug use, violence, and dangerous 
sexual activity. Additionally, there will be no way to prevent sex offenders from inhabiting this hotel, 
which will be located across the street from three schools. This drug hub will pose a clear danger to the 
children and teens in the area, who are working hard to get an education. Cesar Chavez High School 
already has a high number of at-risk youths who attend. This hotel would put them at an even greater risk, 
by creating a place to easily obtain drugs, weapons, and other illegal products.  
The Laveen community is a strong community and there are still great plans to make it better. 
Unfortunately, until the situation with the drug users is resolved, we cannot have things like extended stay 
hotels, popping up across the street from our schools. As a parent and community member, I feel it is my 
responsibility to make my concerns known. This hotel is not a regular Holiday Inn or a Marriott. What is 
planned will be extremely detrimental to both our community and the safety of our children. I ask that you 
step up and reconsider this poorly planned attempt at budget housing for the neighborhood junkies and plan 
something that will actually benefit our community.  
Additionally, if you have resources to share on how the community can combat the drugs and homelessness 
that are littering our streets, I would appreciate you sharing that information.  
Thanks, 
Bree Prinzhorn

I want to strongly express my opposition to the proposed hotel at 43rd Ave and Baseline Rd.  I have 
been a Laveen resident for 18 years and have watched the community grow in my time here. I don't 
always agree with the changes but this time I feel the need to express my opposition.  We already 
have a growing problem on the corner of 51st ave and Baseline.  This issue is not easily resolved and 
is an ongoing conversation among the community.  As our elected official I implore you stand with the 
Laveen community in opposition to this proposed hotel to be build directly across the street from an 
elementary school.  You response is most welcome.

I just want to write this email to express my feelings about a Hotel in Laveen. This honestly shouldn’t even 
be a thought, the amount of homeless/drug addicts we have in Laveen already is ridiculous. You cant even 
shop at a store without having to see them all around passed out on the floor. I live in laveen & drive to 
avondale just to avoid that mess. Our community is a disaster already, and if Laveen were to add a hotel, it 
would look like 51st & McDowell.  
 
If you really want Laveen to look so much more worse, then consider the hotel. However from myself, it is 
a big HUGE NO!!  
 
 
Thank you for your time. 
 
Thank You,

RE: GPA-LV-2-23-7 AND COMPANION CASE Z-29-23-7 (NEC 43RD AVE &
BASELINE RD)
To whom it may concern,
I am submitting this letter with the intent of opposing the approval and
development of a proposed Woodspring Suites Extended Stay Hotel at 43rd
Ave and Baseline Rd in Laveen: Potential Adverse Impacts to the
Neighborhood and Schools:
The proposed development of a Woodspring Suites Extended Stay hotel at the
intersection of 43rd Ave and Baseline Rd in Laveen raises concerns about the
potential adverse impacts on the neighborhood, particularly due to its
proximity to four schools within a quarter mile. This paper opposes the
approval and development of the hotel, highlighting the potential negative
consequences and advocating for careful consideration of the community's
well-being.
Negative Impact on the Neighborhood:
Increased TraŎc and Congestion: The addition of a hotel in the
neighborhood is likely to increase traŎc ōow, especially during peak times.
This can lead to congestion, longer commute times for residents, and potential
safety hazards around the school zones. Moreover, the presence of
extended-stay guests may result in a higher number of vehicles circulating in
the area, further exacerbating the traŎc situation.
Noise and Disruption: Hotels in general, and more speciŊcally extended stay
hotels, often attract a transient population, leading to increased noise levels
and potential disturbances for the neighboring residents. This can have a
detrimental eňect on the overall quality of life, especially for families residing
in close proximity to the proposed location. The presence of a hotel can
disrupt the peace and tranquility of the neighborhood, negatively impacting
the residents' well-being.
Safety Concerns: The proximity of the proposed hotel to four schools raises
valid safety concerns. Increased traŎc, unfamiliar faces, and potential criminal
activity associated with transient populations can compromise the safety of the
students and staň. It is crucial to prioritize the safety and security of
educational institutions, and the development of a hotel in such close
proximity poses unnecessary risks.

Negative Inōuence on Property Values: The introduction of a Woodspring
Suites Extended Stay hotel may have a detrimental eňect on property values
in the neighborhood. The presence of an extended-stay hotel can create the
perception of instability and transience, potentially deterring prospective
homebuyers. This can lead to decreased property values, impacting the
Ŋnancial well-being of residents and potentially the long-term stability of the
community.
Conclusion:
Given the potential adverse impacts on the neighborhood and its proximity to
four schools, it is crucial to oppose the approval and development of a
Woodspring Suites Extended Stay hotel at 43rd Ave and Baseline Rd in
Laveen. It is essential to prioritize the well-being, safety, and quality of life of
the residents, especially in areas closely connected to educational institutions.
By carefully considering the potential negative consequences, alternative
development options that align with the needs and character of the
community can be explored to ensure a thriving and harmonious
neighborhood.
Respectfully,
Dan Penton
