April 25, 2022 Ms. Julianna Pierre Staff Planner, Laveen Village City of Phoenix 200 West Washington Steet, 2nd Floor Phoenix, AZ 85003 RE: Case No. Z-25-22-8/GPA-LV-1-22-8 Dear Ms. Pierre, My name is Jared Taylor and I am the Charter Representative and Chief Executive Officer of the Heritage Academy Schools, one of the first charter schools in Arizona. Heritage Academy’s Laveen campus is located on the southeast corner of 43rd Avenue and Baseline (APN: 300-13- 004M), directly east of the property that is the subject of the above-mentioned planning cases. I write to you today to express Heritage Academy’s strong support for the applicant’s requested zone change and corresponding general plan amendment. I understand the property is proposed to be developed as a veterinary hospital along with some additional commercial uses, subject to certain limitations. We believe the proposed uses for the property are complementary to the surrounding area and will be an improvement over the site’s existing conditions. We commend the applicant for working with local stakeholders to develop a plan that is compatible with the community and the surrounding area. In particular, we appreciate the proposed limitation on uses that would exacerbate traffic issues during peak school operating hours. The applicant’s proposal is mindful of these concerns and will be a positive addition to the community. Accordingly, we urge you to support Z-25-22 and GPA-LV-1-22-8. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (480) 734-7073 or via email at jtaylor@heritageacademyaz.com. Sincerely, Jared Taylor Charter Representative & CEO Heritage Academy Schools HERITAGE ACADEMY “Building America’s Heroes” 32 S. Center, Mesa, AZ 85210 ATTACHMENT F
