CONNECT PEOPLE AND PLACES CORE VALUE; OPPORTUNITY SITES; LAND USE 
PRINCIPLE: Support reasonable levels of increased intensity, respectful of local 
conditions and surrounding neighborhoods.
The requested zoning will allow for increased intensity that is generally consistent in scale 
and character with the surrounding zoning and General Plan Land Use Map designations 
in the area. Located at the junction of a major arterial street, Interstate 10 freeway and 
future high-capacity transit modes along 35th Avenue, the proposed commercial and

multifamily zoning is compatible with the surrounding area. The development, as 
stipulated, provides a reasonable level of intensity that is respectful to local conditions by 
transitioning commercial uses along 35th Avenue to existing single-family homes east of 
34th Avenue. 
 
 
CONNECT PEOPLE AND PLACES CORE VALUE; TRANSIT ORIENTED 
DEVELOPMENT; LAND USE PRINCIPLE: Develop land use and design regulations 
governing land close to transit centers and light rail stations, to maximize the 
potential for ridership. 
 
The requested C-2 and R-4A zoning districts will allow for a mix of uses on the subject 
site, including multifamily and a convenience store with fuel stations near high capacity 
transit corridors and near various land uses such as a high school and several 
commercial establishments. This variety of zoning districts will allow for both housing and 
additional employment options within the Southwest Phoenix Major Employment center. 
 
CELEBRATE OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITY AND NEIGHBORHOODS CORE VALUE; 
CONNECTED NEIGHBORHOODS; LAND USE PRINCIPLE:  Design and locate new 
neighborhoods to promote access (both physical and visual) to parks 
and open space. New developments should also provide convenient pedestrian 
and bicycle access to transit stops, schools and other neighborhood amenities. 
 
Approval of the request would locate a multifamily use adjacent to a public park (Falcon 
Park) which will allow immediate access to open space and recreational opportunities. 
Furthermore, bicycle lanes are located along Roosevelt Street, south of Falcon Park, in 
addition to a bus stop along 35th Avenue and within walking distance to a future mass-
transit station. As stipulated, the development will promote shaded walkways and/or 
sidewalks plus bicycle parking and repair facilities to encourage walking and bicycling. 
 
BUILD THE SUSTAINABLE DESERT CITY CORE VALUE; TREES AND SHADE; 
DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Integrate trees and shade into the design of new development 
and redevelopment projects throughout Phoenix. 
 
The proposal, as stipulated, will be required to provide shade along the adjacent 35th 
Avenue sidewalks, pedestrian paths connecting the development to adjacent streets, the 
parking lot and nearby bus stop. This will help to encourage walking and to mitigate the 
urban heat island effect by covering hard surfaces, thus cooling the micro-climate around 
the project vicinity.

Background/Issues/Analysis 
SUBJECT SITE 
1. This request is to rezone a 9.39-acre site, located at southeast corner of 35th 
Avenue and the Interstate 10 from 6.98 acres of R1-6 (Single-Family Residence 
District) and 2.41 acres of R-5 (Multifamily Residence District) to 5.67 acres of R-4A 
(Multifamily Residence District) and 3.72 acres of C-2 (Intermediate Commercial) to 
allow multifamily and commercial uses including a convenience store and fuel 
station. The applicant intends to develop affordable housing units within the 
proposed multifamily-family zoned portion of the site, thus allowing for additional 
housing diversity in this part of the Estrella Village. This and other elements of the 
project are addressed in further detail subsequently in the report. 
 
 
SURROUNDING USES AND ZONING 
2. North of the subject site is the Interstate 10 freeway zoned R1-6 (Single-Family 
Residence District) and R-5 (Multifamily Residence District). A future high-capacity 
transit station is proposed just across the I-10 freeway within close proximity to 35th 
Avenue. 
 
 
 
South of the subject site is a public park, Falcon Park, zoned R1-6 (Single-Family 
Residence District) and R-5 (Multifamily Residence District). Carl Hayden High 
School is located south of Falcon Park across Roosevelt Street along 35th Avenue. 
 
West of the subject site 
across 35th Avenue is 
ADOT right-of-way 
property and a 
convenience store with a 
fuel station zoned C-3 
(General Commercial 
District). 
 
East of the subject site, 
across 34th Avenue, are 
single-family homes 
zoned  
R1-6 (Single-Family 
Residence District).

GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP DESIGNATIONS 
3. 
The subject site has a General Plan Land Use Map designation of Public/Quasi-
Public which is not consistent with the proposed commercial and multifamily 
residential zoning requested. A concurrent minor General Plan Land Use Map 
amendment under case GPA-EST-1-21-4 is proposed to change this land use 
designation to Mixed Use. 
 
 
 
The Mixed Use land use designation requested is consistent with the proposed R-
4A and C-2 zoning, as it allows commercial and residential land uses. Furthermore, 
this will promote the use of transit due to its proximity to various modes of high-
capacity transit along 35th Avenue. 
 
CAPITOL I-10/WEST EXTENSION
4. As of the writing of this staff report, Valley Metro had determined a locally preferred 
high-capacity transit alignment approximately 0.1 miles north of the site. The 
Capitol/I-10 West high-capacity transit corridor will serve as a major transportation 
route in this part of the region, connecting the residents of this future development to 
employment, shopping, educational, and other opportunities in Downtown and West 
Phoenix.

BUS RAPID TRANSIT (BRT) 
5. Furthermore, as of the writing of 
this staff report, the City of 
Phoenix Transit Department and 
Citizen Transportation 
Commission had recommended 
that 35th Avenue/Van Buren 
Street route be approved as a 
BRT corridor. This high-capacity 
transit will serve to connect 
residents along 35th Avenue and 
Van Buren Street to employment, 
shopping, educational, and other 
opportunities in Downtown and 
North West Phoenix.

PROPOSAL
6. Site Plan 
 
The conceptual site plan identifies the western portion of the 9.39-acre site along 
35th Avenue as a convenience store with fuel canopies and a future commercial 
user on the north portion of the site along the Interstate 10 freeway. The eastern 
portion of the site along 34th Avenue proposes a 192-unit multifamily development 
with one and two-bedroom units located in eight residential buildings at three stories 
and 36 feet in height. Two vehicular access points to the proposed multifamily

zoning are shown along 34th Avenue, with pedestrian connections to both 35th 
Avenue and 34th Avenue. 
 
 
 
Conceptual Site Plan, Source: Otak Architects, Inc. 
 
Stipulation No. 1 limits the maximum building height and density to 30 feet or 98
dwelling units on the proposed multifamily-zoned portion of the site. However, if 
affordable housing is provided on the proposed multifamily-zoned portion of the site, 
the maximum building height and density shall be 40 feet and 200 dwelling units.  If 
the development utilizes the additional height and density outlined in Stipulation No. 
1, staff is also requesting Stipulation No. 2 that requires a recorded Declaration of 
Affirmative Land Use and Restrictive Covenants Agreement be provided prior to 
issuance of building permits for any structures to ensure that the affordability 
restrictions are formalized for the site. 
 
Furthermore, Stipulation No. 3 requires an average building setback of 40 feet, 
minimum 20 feet for up to 25 percent of the frontage along 34th Avenue. This latter 
stipulation will ensure that multi-story buildings are primarily kept a larger distance 
away from nearby single-family residential properties west of 34th Avenue. 
Stipulation No. 4 recommends that a minimum 20-foot building setback be provided 
along the north property line for the multifamily-zoned portion of the site to require a 
larger separation between residential buildings and I-10 freeway. 
 
Staff is not recommending a stipulation to require general conformance to the 
conceptual site plan for the proposed multifamily zoning due to potential variances

Staff Report: Z-2-21-4 
July 14, 2021 
Page 10 of 29 
 
 
required for parking reductions or site plan modifications for the front landscape 
setback and associated site modifications triggered by constructing a cul-de-sac at 
the terminus of 34th Avenue. Variances are reviewed and recommended at the 
discretion of the Zoning Adjustment Hearing Officer (ZAHO) via a public hearing 
process. 
 
However, staff is recommending a stipulation to require general conformance to the 
conceptual site plan for the convenience store and fuel station portion of the site. 
This is addressed in Stipulation No. 17. Furthermore, staff is recommending a 
stipulation to require administrative review of the site plan and building elevations of 
the future commercial site, Lot 2, by the Planning Hearing Officer prior to preliminary 
site plan approval. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 18. 
 
7. Elevations 
The conceptual building elevations for the proposed multifamily-zoned portion of the 
site depict a modern-style architecture with flat roofs, large windows, patios and 
four-sided architecture. These building elevations depict a maximum building height 
of three stories and 36 feet. 
 
The conceptual building elevations for the proposed convenience store and fuel 
station depict a modern-style architecture with retro elements such as awnings, 
decorative roof band, brick, and four-sided architecture. These building elevations 
depict a maximum building height of one story and 20 feet.

Staff is recommending a stipulation to require that building elevations within the 
multifamily-zoned portion of the site incorporate a variety of colors, materials and 
architectural features. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 5, in addition to requiring 
a minimum of 25 percent of building elevations oriented towards 34th Avenue and 
Falcon Park, to provide accent materials that exhibit quality and durability that will 
withstand weather conditions into the future. Furthermore, Stipulation No. 5 requires 
that balconies and windows be provided for residential units adjacent to Falcon Park 
in order to “place eyes on the park” to provide visual consistency. 
 
In Stipulation No. 6, staff recommends that balconies on the upper floors of 
multifamily buildings within 60 feet of the front property line be prohibited, unless 
these are oriented away from single-family residential homes. This will help to 
provide a transition between the single-family and multifamily residential uses. 
 
Staff is recommending general conformance with the building elevations for the 
convenience store and fuel station in Stipulation No. 17, while Stipulation No. 18 
would require the administrative review of the building elevations for the future 
commercial site, Lot 2, by the Planning Hearing Officer prior to preliminary site plan 
approval to ensure that a variety of colors, materials and architectural features are 
incorporated.

8. Landscaping and Screening 
In order to best integrate the proposed land uses and avoid conflicts with existing or 
future land uses proposed on the site, several landscaping and screening 
enhancements are recommended by staff. 
 
Stipulation No. 7 recommends an average 10-foot wide landscape setback along the 
north property line of the proposed multifamily-zoned portion of the site with 
evergreen trees to help screen the I-10 freeway from residential buildings per 
Stipulation No. 8. This stipulation also recommends evergreen trees along 34th 
Avenue and the western property line to screen residential buildings from adjacent 
single-family homes and the proposed convenience store. 
 
 
 
Conceptual Site Plan with Planning and Development Department annotations,  
Source: Otak Architects, Inc. 
 
Stipulation No. 8 also recommends landscape enhancements that include providing 
50-percent 2-inch caliper and 50-percent 3-inch caliper trees within the required 
landscape setbacks on the proposed multifamily-zoned portion of the site. This 
enhancement will help further screen the proposed residential buildings from 
existing and proposed uses, plus the I-10 freeway. 
 
Stipulation No. 19, applicable on the proposed commercially-zoned portion of the 
site, requires a minimum 20-foot wide landscape setback planted with minimum 2-
inch caliper evergreen trees along the future eastern property line adjacent to the 
proposed multifamily zoning. This will help buffer and screen commercial uses from 
the future residential uses on the eastern portion of the site.

9. Open Space and Amenities 
The conceptual site plan depicts a central amenity area with numerous amenities 
dispersed throughout the multifamily-zoned portion of the development. Stipulation 
No. 9 recommended by staff requires a centralized amenity and open space area 
and that a minimum of the following be provided for residents: 
 
x Tot lot; 
x Clubhouse or community room; 
x Two picnic areas each with a barbeque grill, shade ramada and a picnic 
table; and 
x Two benches or seating features. 
 
 
10. Streetscape and Fencing Enhancements 
The subject site is located at the junction of an arterial street (35th Avenue), freeway 
(Interstate 10) and public park (Falcon Park), in addition to a local street (34th 
Avenue). In order to promote further beautification of the Estrella Village and 
enhance the development area, staff recommends several stipulations that will help 
achieve this vision. 
 
Stipulation No. 10 recommends entryway enhancements along 34th Avenue that 
include pedestrian pathways, landscape enhancements and alternative driveway 
materials to promote a sense of place for the multifamily-zoned portion of the site. 
 
Stipulation Nos. 11 and 12 address fencing requirements for the multifamily zoned 
portion of the site specifically. These include a minimum six-foot tall solid wall along 
the north property line to screen residential uses from the adjacent I-10 freeway, 
plus open view fencing limitations along 34th Avenue and Falcon Park in order to 
promote visibility to adjacent streets plus the public park to “place eyes on the 
street” (and park). 
 
Stipulation No. 13 addresses building construction within the multifamily-zoned 
portion of the site. This stipulation would require a decibel rating inside of residential 
units, given the adjacent I-10 freeway, in order to reduce noise in these units. 
 
Stipulation No. 29 addresses perimeter wall enhancements for the entire site where 
these are visible from public streets and Falcon Park to promote beautification of the 
development area. 
 
 
STUDIES AND POLICIES 
 
 
11. Estrella Village Plan 
 
 
 
The Estrella Village Plan adopted in 1999, outlines a vision for improving the Estrella 
Village through five main goals that include:

Staff Report: Z-2-21-4 
July 14, 2021 
Page 14 of 29 
 
 
 
1. Orderly growth; 
2. Identifiable village core; 
3. Strong residential neighborhoods; 
4. Variety of homes and jobs; and 
5. Consistent streetscapes and trail linkages. 
 
Goal 3 of the Estrella Village Plan, “Protection of residential neighborhoods”, 
Objective A, “New Residential Development”, recommends that new residential 
developments and retail centers be supported by street circulation systems and 
surrounding character. Bounded by a major arterial street, freeway and within 
proximity to a future high-capacity station, the proposed C-2 and R-4A zoning 
districts allow uses that could be supported by the existing street and future planned 
transit infrastructure. Thirty-fourth Avenue is classified as a local street that currently 
acts as a collector street, providing access to Falcon Park and single-family 
neighborhoods east of 34th Avenue.

Development Department

Staff Report: Z-2-21-4 
July 14, 2021 
Page 15 of 29 
 
 
 
Goal 3, Objective D, “Residential areas in transition”, recommends that 
neighborhoods no longer viable for residential use will be converted to non-
residential activity in a manner least disruptive to remaining residents. The existing 
zoning on the site is R-5 and R1-6, with a proposed zoning of C-2 and R-4A. This 
zoning application will allow for the arterial street frontage of the property to be used 
for commercial uses along a corridor where similar uses exist. The eastern portion 
of the site is proposed to remain as a residential use with multifamily zoning. Staff 
recommends several stipulations, as noted previously in the report, to buffer and 
screen future multifamily uses from existing single-family neighborhoods in the area 
to allow for a land use transition. 
 
Goal 4, “Housing and Employment”, Objective B, “Variety of housing densities and 
types”, recommends a diversity of housing products in the Estrella Village. The 
proposed R-4A zoning along the eastern portion of the site allows for a variety of 
residential uses on the site, including a multi-story apartment housing product as 
depicted in the conceptual site plan. This zoning district will introduce a new land 
use in the immediate area, allowing for new housing opportunities to existing and 
new residents within close proximity to transportation and high-capacity transit.  
 
Goal 5, “Urban Design”, recommends for streetscape and trail systems to be 
uniform and consistent to provide identity and linkage between neighborhoods and 
with activity centers. Several stipulations as recommended by staff and described 
previously in this report, would promote enhanced urban design along the 
streetscapes. 
 
 
12. Estrella Village Arterial Street Landscaping Program 
 
 
The Estrella Village Arterial Street Landscaping Program adopted in 1999, provides 
a landscape palette for arterial streets within the Estrella Village to help establish the 
community’s character. In addition to providing planting guidelines, the plan also 
indicates the locations to establish entry gateways that welcome individuals entering 
the village with an entry sign and an enhanced landscape area of 75 feet by 75 feet 
in size. 
 
The subject site is adjacent to 35th Avenue, an arterial street, and thus staff 
recommends Stipulation No. 20 to require adherence with the Estrella Village 
Arterial Street Landscaping Program requirements along the street frontage to 
promote the community’s character. Furthermore, the southeast corner of 35th 
Avenue and Interstate 10 is a designated Village gateway. Thus, staff recommends 
Stipulation No. 21 to require a landscaped gateway entry feature at this intersection.

13. Tree and Shade Master Plan 
 
 
 
The Tree and Shade Master Plan is a roadmap for creating a healthier, more livable 
and prosperous 21st Century desert city. The goal is to treat the urban forest as 
infrastructure to ensure that trees are an integral part of the city’s planning and 
development process. Staff recommends several stipulations to promote the 
shading and cooling of uncovered parking lots and pedestrian walkways on both the 
commercial and multifamily-zone portions of the site, plus the bus stop along 35th 
Avenue. These shading standards are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 22, 30, and 31. 
 
Additionally, staff recommends that the detached sidewalk along 35th Avenue, be 
shaded to a minimum of 75 percent using minimum 2-inch caliper trees at maturity. 
This is addressed in Stipulation No. 24. 
 
 
14. Complete Streets Guidelines 
 
 
 
The City's complete streets policy further advances its goal to create a more 
sustainable transportation system that is safe and accessible for everyone. 
Complete streets provide infrastructure that encourages active transportation such 
as walking, bicycling, transportation choices and increased connectivity. Through 
this policy, the primary focus of street design will no longer be solely on the speed 
and efficiency of automobile travel, but on the safety and comfort of all users.

Staff Report: Z-2-21-4 
July 14, 2021 
Page 17 of 29 
 
 
To promote walking, staff recommends a system of pedestrian thoroughfares that 
connects building entrances, active open space areas, adjacent public sidewalks 
and the bus stop along 35th Avenue. A centralized pedestrian pathway connecting 
the proposed multifamily-zoned portion of the site with 35th Avenue will help future 
residents of this new community to use public transportation and high-capacity 
transit along 35th Avenue. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 32. 
 
To promote bicycling, staff recommends that bicycle parking be provided for both 
the commercial and multifamily-zoned portions of the site for customers or residents 
and their guests. A bicycle repair station in the multi-family zoned portion of the site 
will also help to promote bicycling as alternative transportation method to help 
decrease vehicular trips. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 33. 
 
Stipulation No. 24, requires a shaded detached sidewalk along 35th Avenue to help 
promote walking and other alternative methods of transportation along this corridor. 
 
 
15. 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. Bicycle 
lanes have been designated within Roosevelt Street, south of Falcon Park. Staff 
recommends that secure/covered bicycle parking be provided at a rate of one 
bicycle space per 0.25 dwelling units up to 20 spaces, and inverted U-bicycle 
spaces per residential building for guests and customers. A bicycle repair station 
within the multifamily-zoned portion of the site will also promote alternative 
transportation by future residents. Bicycle parking and amenities are addressed in 
Stipulation No. 33. 
 
 
16. 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

17. Housing Phoenix 
In June 2020, the Phoenix City Council approved the Housing Phoenix Plan. This 
Plan contains policy initiatives for the development and preservation of housing with

Staff Report: Z-2-21-4 
July 14, 2021 
Page 18 of 29 
 
 
a vision of creating a stronger and more vibrant Phoenix through increased housing 
options for residents at all income levels and family sizes. Phoenix’s rapid 
population growth and housing underproduction has led to a need for over 163,000 
new housing units. Current shortages of housing supply relative to demand are a 
primary reason why housing costs are increasing. The proposed development 
supports the Plan’s goal of preserving or creating 50,000 housing units by 2030 by 
contributing to a variety housing types that will address the supply shortage at a 
more rapid pace while using vacant land in a more sustainable fashion. 
 
Stipulation No. 1 would limit the maximum density to 98 dwelling units on the 
proposed multifamily-zoned portion of the site, but if affordable housing units 
provided, the developer may construct up to 200 dwelling units on this portion of the 
site. If this development is approved, it would allow a new type of housing product in 
the area and new housing opportunities for existing and new residents to the area. 
 
 
COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY 
 
 
18. As of the writing of this report, staff received one letter in support and one letter in 
opposition with concerns about the development. The letter of concern cited issues 
with the construction of a fuel station at this site due to fears of increased crime and 
environmental concerns for existing residents. The letter of support cited the 
proposed fuel station and available services as a positive use of the property. 
 
 
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 
 
19. The Water Services Department commented that the property has existing water 
and sewers mains that can potentially serve the development along 35th Avenue 
and/or 34th Avenue. In addition, the Water Services Department commented that 
capacity is a dynamic condition that can change over time due to a variety of factors. 
 
 
20. The Floodplain Management division of the Public Works Department did not have 
any comments pertaining to this request as the parcel is not located in a Special 
Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). 
 
 
21. The Fire Department commented that the project shall comply with the 2018 
International Fire Code with Phoenix Amendments. Other comments provided 
pertained to fire apparatus access, turning radiuses, fire hydrant spacing, water 
supply and operational permits. These comments will be addressed in the site plan 
review process, along with other development review comments. 
 
 
22. The Public Transit Department requires right-of-way and retention of the bus stop 
pad along 35th Avenue; bus stop shading of 50 percent minimum; accessible 
pedestrian pathways that connect all building entrances and exits, bus stop, and all 
public sidewalks utilizing the minimum possible distance; and pedestrian paths and 
sidewalks shaded a minimum of 75 percent using trees or shade structures. Lastly,

Staff Report: Z-2-21-4 
July 14, 2021 
Page 19 of 29 
 
 
that pedestrian pathways be constructed of decorative material that contrasts with 
the adjacent parking and drive aisle surfaces. These are addressed in site plan 
review and Stipulation Nos. 22, 23, 24 and 32. 
 
 
23. The Street Transportation Department requires the dedication of right-of-way along 
34th Avenue and 35th Avenue with related improvements, cul-de-sac construction 
along the 34th Avenue terminus, driveway access control along 35th Avenue, cross-
access agreement along the commercial portion of site, pedestrian HAWK signal 
along 35th Avenue, Red Border letter notification to the Arizona Department of 
Transportation (ADOT), and construction of all streets within and adjacent to the 
development per ADA standards. These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 14, 15, 
16, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 34 and 35. 
 
 
24. The Aviation Department requires that the property owner record a Notice to 
Prospective Purchasers of Proximity to Airport in order to disclose the existence, 
and operational characteristics of City of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport 
(PHX) to future owners or tenants of the property. Furthermore, that an avigation 
easement is dedicated to the City of Phoenix as this property is within the PHX 
International Airport traffic pattern airspace and seeking a noise sensitive land use. 
These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 36 and 37. 
 
 
OTHER 
 
25. The site is located in a larger area identified as being archaeologically sensitive. If 
further review by the City of Phoenix Archaeology Office determines the site and 
immediate area to be archaeologically sensitive, and if no previous archaeological 
projects have been conducted within this project area, it is recommended that 
archaeological Phase I data testing of this area be conducted. Phase II 
archaeological data recovery excavations may be necessary based upon the results 
of the testing. A qualified archaeologist must make this determination in consultation 
with the City of Phoenix Archaeologist. 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 Nos. 38 through 40. 
 
 
26. The Historic Preservation Office commented that this U.S. Naval and Marine Corps 
Reserve Training Center is historically significant under Criterion A, at the local 
level, for its association with the U.S. Military, more specifically with those efforts to 
create a reserve training and recruitment center for the Navy and Marines in 
Phoenix. Thus, the property is subject to a subject to a 30-calendar day hold prior to 
the issuance of a demolition permit, since it is a non-single family building over 50 
years old.

27. Development and use of the site is subject to all applicable codes and ordinances. 
Zoning approval does not negate other ordinance requirements such as obtaining a 
use permit to conduct the proposed outdoor use in this zoning district. Other formal 
actions such as, but not limited to, zoning adjustments and abandonments, may be 
required.

QuickTrip Rezoning case SEC 35th Ave and I-10 - Application No: Z-2-21
Date:
Saturday, January 23, 2021 4:22:58 PM
I own a house nearby at 3340 W Portland.  I would be in favor of this rezoning.  Directly on 35th Avenue
would be well suited for a QuickTrip, and provide some needed competition for the Circle K across the
street.  
However, most importantly, QuickTrip will be able to provide nearby residence a high-quality shopping
experience for not only gasoline purchase, but a myriad of other products that make QuickTip a popular
place for people to purchase various drinks and snacks.  
The customer experience at a QuickTrip is unmatched compared to any other competitor, the stores I visit
in Phoenix (about 1/week) are always neat and clean, along with courteous, responsible employees. 
QuickTrip's presence here would be a wonderful addition to the area!  
I enthusiastically support this change in rezoning!
Thanks for the opportunity to respond to this rezoning case.
