VPC DISCUSSION: 
APPLICANT PRESENTATION: 
Jason Morris, representing the applicant with Withey Morris, introduced himself and 
reviewed the site history, highlighting the minor and major amendments that have been 
processed to date for the PUD. Mr. Morris displayed the existing land use plan, 
highlighting the proposed changes are for Zones 1, 2, 3, and 6, to increase the 
multifamily unit maximum to add 1,400 units on zones that already allowed multifamily 
uses, and to add the density and height limit to Zone 6 that already exists for Zones 1, 
2, and 3. Mr. Morris showed the results of a shared parking analysis for one of the 
proposed multifamily residential developments, which showed at peak times only 1,802 
spaces are occupied which is less than the 2,418 spaced required by the City of 
Phoenix Zoning Ordinance, so they are requesting a 25% parking reduction. Mr. Morris 
concluded by showing where they are at in the rezoning process and next steps for the 
case.  
QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE: 
Chair Joseph Grossman asked if USAA, the property owner, will contribute to the 
Deer Valley Unified School District, citing that the Toll Brothers project on 19th Avenue 
paid $1,000 a unit. Mr. Morris replied that an agreement has been executed with the 
Deer Valley Unified School District, which went above and beyond what others have 
given and that USAA felt very strongly about contributing to the school district.  
Keith Greenberg asked how this project fits into the City’s affordable housing goal. Mr. 
Morris replied that the builder, in conjunction with the Council office, is working on a 
series of demographics to serve and different rental rates for their units.
