Sarah, 
Please forward -asap - this above link to the December cover story of the North Central News,
that is applicable to agenda item #3 tonight, on to the entire AVPC committee. It is not
applicable for just “Central Ave” but a fight for the Camelback Rd Walkable Urban TOD
future as well.
City of Phoenix Planning needs to stop letting developers kill the vibrant Walkable Urban
MIXED-USE TOD Vision with their 100% NON Walkable Urban destination-less dead end
100% residential products that simply covets “It’s next to Light Rail!” We’re building a TOD
out with no places to go, no vibrancy, no services, with fewer and fewer retail offerings - just
Nothingville AZ, USA. This Magnolia project actually tears down and destroys existing TOD
retail. 
Members: Please consider mercifully rejecting this project, for a better Version 2.0 tomorrow.
Please insist that the TOD ground floor floorplates are unique, sacred, and reserved for
commercial/retail only on our Light Rail TOD system. The price of TOD entry for developers
is vibrancy and delivered VISION. Not more and more of the same non contributing soulless
product not fit for ANY Main Street USA.
Thanks,
Ken Waters

Hi
As a resident and business owner in North Central Phoenix I wanted to share my comments
with the committee in regards to the following topic:
1. Z-50-22-4: Presentation, discussion, and possible recommendation regarding a
request to rezone 4.79 acres located approximately 180 feet north of the
northeast corner of 7th Avenue and Camelback Road from C-2 TOD-1
(Intermediate Commercial, Interim Transit-Oriented Zoning Overlay District
One) to WU T5:5 UT (Walkable Urban Code, Transect 5:5, Transit Uptown
Character Area) to allow multifamily residential.
I believe that all Multi-family Residential along the light rail in TOD should have retail that is
accessible by foot traffic. As the city becomes denser there needs to be space set aside for
restaurants, coffee shops and retail, that enhances these parts of the city and makes them
more livable and walkable. 
Thank for considering my comments.
Best,
Michael

Last Meeting

I was upset by a remark by the representative of the aspiring developer of an additional apartment complex at 7th
Avenue and Camelback. He stated that we who voted in opposition had not bothered to attend the Alhambra Village
Meeting. I am you recall there was a glitch because you did not recognize the phone number for Janice Paul and she
was not given an opportunity to speak. I can only say it was our intention to speak and share the concerns we
expressed at the meeting this past week.
Also he spoke about attending the neighborhood meeting to present the plans for the development. It is my
understanding there were six people in attendance representing over 200 residents. One might wonder why there
appeared to be no interest or concern. In something of obvious impact isn’t it possible there was really no
information that was shared so the majority of residents were not informed.
I am not sure this is necessarily within your area but it has caused a sense of being deliberately left out to avoid any
resistance.
Thank you for responding to my and other’s attempts to communicate with you to express our genuine concerns.
