No members of the public registered to speak on this item. 
Enrique Bojórquez Gaxiola, staff, introduced himself discussed the location of the

William Lally, with Tiffany & Bosco P.A., introduced himself as the applicant for 
case Z-77-21-7. Mr. Lally stated that he was involved in the Danzeisen Dairy Farms 
PUD back in 2014 which was established the current zoning on the site. However, 
due to changes in the area, a residential project would be a more appropriate 
development. Mr. Lally described surrounding land uses, noting the proposed SR-30 
freeway alignment south of the site. Mr. Lally discussed the proposed buffers around 
the site and traffic improvements along Broadway Road. Mr. Lally concluded his 
presentation by describing their public outreach and requesting approval of case Z-

the applicant is planning for those future trails to connect the Rio Salado. Mr. Lally 
stated that Maricopa County has been involved with designing the median locations 
and they will continue to work with the Maricopa County Department of 
Transportation (MCDOT) on how the cross section will be designed and what would 
be the safest way for the traffic to ingress and egress from the site. 
 
Mr. Perez stated that Broadway Road is extremely congested and asked the 
applicant to explain the secondary access along 73rd Avenue and Wier Avenue as a 
potential emergency exit. Mr. Lally stated that there have been many meetings 
between MCDOT and the City of Phoenix and that they understand the importance 
of contributing to the proposed traffic light on 75th Avenue and Broadway Road.  Mr. 
Lally stated that on the southeast corner of 73rd Avenue and Weir Avenue there 
would be emergency access only and that the development is still working with 
MCDOT on this location as a potential secondary access point to alleviate some of 
the traffic congestion. 
 
Ms. Perez asked the applicant to show more amenities on the site plan before the 
rezoning case moves to Planning Commission, and stated that there is a lack of 
connectivity in the area. Thus, more amenities are going to be important for the 
development.  Mr. Lally stated that they are vetting some of those details and that 
their proposed open space percentage would allow for more amenities and for more 
interaction between the residential units. Mr. Lally stated that he would contact Ms. 
Perez prior to Planning Commission with more details regarding the proposed 
amenities. 
 
Beth Cartwright thanked the applicant and staff and stated that this case has 
weighed on her because she has lived in the area for a long time and enjoys the 
agricultural equestrian character of the area. Ms. Cartwright stated that she 
understands that there will be a proposed SR-30 freeway and that would not be 
appropriate for the agricultural character. Ms. Cartwright stated that she appreciates 
the increase in the proposed open space and the importance of maintaining a part of 
the equestrian lifestyle in the proposed development. Mr. Cartwright believes that 
this development is appropriate for the area.
