document and asked how the street alignments are adjusted in the proposal. Mr.
Klimek stated the applicant will provide that information in their presentation.
Committee Member Thacker commented that the number of structures on the site and
asked why are there more structures on the illustrated master plan. Mr. Klimek
responded that the conceptual illustrated master plan was not an engineered or design
plan and is conceptual.

interest of time would allow the applicant to provide their presentation.
APPLICANT PRESENTATION:
Wendy Riddell with Berry Riddell, LLC introduced herself and provided background
information on the applicant Petree Properties, the history, design and process of the
mixed-use proposal. Ms. Riddell discussed the request and its conformance to the
Uptown TOD Policy Plan to create a unique walkable, sustainable and dense project
that aligns and transitions to the adjacent residential neighborhoods. Ms. Riddell stated
the proposal has been updated to align with adjacent light rail transects and focus
intensity to Central Avenue to create an iconic location. Ms. Riddell said the
development will transition and integrate with the Carnation Neighborhood with the
addition of stipulations to adjust building height and incorporate setbacks and open
space within the proposal. Ms. Riddell displayed plans and designs that include and
active commercial space, expanded shaded sidewalks and include a primary art feature
to reflect the neighborhood. Ms. Riddell stated that the proposal includes sustainable
features, a community garden space, amenities, commercial space on Central Avenue
and stoop units on 2nd Avenue, Glenrosa Avenue and Turney Avenue. Ms. Riddell
discussed plans for construction management, consultation with the Village Planning
Committee, the neighborhoods and public during the development of the site. Ms.
Riddell described the evolution of the project, the meetings, outreach and coordination
in preparation of the proposal.
QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE:
Committee Member George expressed concern with the intensity of the proposal and
the impacts to neighborhood to the west as far as 7th Avenue. Committee Member
George asked about the traffic calming devices and if they will be installed before
construction on the site. Committee Member George referenced the Encanto Village
Character Plan and inquired about reducing the building height, and how the open
space will be managed, and will the Village Planning Committee have the opportunity to
vote and approve on the phased features prior to construction. Ms. Riddell responded
that the traffic calming devices will be in the first phase of construction, and this will be
part of the construction management and access to the site will be from Central
Avenue.

Committee Member George asked how construction traffic will be handled in the
phased development. Ms. Riddell responded that the construction management plan
will require access from Central Avenue not through the neighborhood.
Committee Member Kleinman commented that all construction traffic from the very
beginning will access the site from Central Avenue and not on any other streets. Ms.
Riddell responded that traffic control is part of construction management which is
addressed in the stipulations.
Committee Member George asked about the building height reduction, from a step
down to two stories on 2nd Avenue. Ms. Riddell responded that for 2nd Avenue the
design includes a larger setback to mitigate the proposed building height. Mr. Klimek,
staff referenced the stipulation regarding the step back regime and that the height along
the west property line is a regulatory requirement.
Ms. Riddell responded to Committee Member George inquiry regarding open space
management stating that the area will be monitored and managed closely, and they are
adjacent to private streets.
Committee Member George asked if the Committee would have input for the proposed
public art. Mr. Klimek responded that there will be an opportunity for review and
comment but not to vote.
Committee Member Searles asked about the percentage of shade coverage and size
of the walkways in the proposal. Ms. Riddell responded that the shade coverage will be
up to 75 percent and open space will be 18 percent. Committee Member Searles ask
about access from Montecito Avenue and if here will be any solar panels on the
building. Ms. Riddell responded that there will be no vehicular access but there will be
access for pedestrian and bicycles and the proposal does not include solar panels.
Committee Member Searles asked will the commercial space be primarily on Central
Avenue. Ms. Riddell responded that a portion of the commercial space will be on
Turney Avenue and Glenrosa Avenue. Committee Member Searles asked if the
proposed development will have recycling collection and if affordable housing will be
included. Ms. Riddell responded that recycling will be available but there will be no
affordable housing in the development.
Committee Member Searles asked how the art feature will be implemented. Ms.
Riddell stated that an art feature would be incorporated with Art Link.
Committee Member Benjamin asked about the EV parking stipulation and how will this
be implemented and what level they will they be and how are the spaces allocated. Ms.
Riddell responded that the details will be worked out for assigned spaces and not all of
them will be for residents.
Committee Member Thacker inquired about the traffic impact study, and the number of
trips per day to the adjacent local streets. Ms. Riddell introduced Jamie Blakeman,

Traffic Engineer with Lokahi, and responded that traffic volume was based on existing
traffic patterns on all the surrounding streets and how they will change in the future. Ms.
Blakeman stated with the introduction of traffic calming devices, roundabouts, and
sidewalks this goes beyond what is required for traffic control and will reduce traffic
volume.
Committee Member Thacker noted that traffic from the proposed location shows
movement patterns to the north and south form the proposed site. Ms. Blakeman
responded that the goal of the traffic plan is to promote movement to Central Avenue.
Committee Member Thacker stated that traveling to Camelback Road from the
proposed site has multiple stops and takes more time and asked if tenants from the site
will drive though the local neighborhoods. Ms. Blakeman responded improvements are
added to the proposal to move traffic to the arterial roadways. Committee Member
Thacker stated that it is more likely that there will be more cut through traffic in the local
neighborhood. Ms. Riddell responded that the stipulations include specific turning
movements and numerous mitigations measures that will move traffic away from the
local neighborhood.
Committee Member Thacker asked if the mitigation measure will reduce traffic
significantly to reduce the impact to the neighborhood. Ms. Blakeman responded that
the goal is to limit traffic to the neighborhood with the proposed mitigation measures.
Committee Member Thacker commented that the mitigation measures promote drivers
to take a longer route with proposed traffic plan. Ms. Riddell responded that they have
evaluated various designs and asked was their other suggestions to be consider for
traffic management. Committee Member Thacker asked how they came to the
conclusion that traffic will be significantly reduced and if the capacity of the local street
will be able to handle to expected volume.
Committee Member Matthews asked if roundabouts will be included for the local
streets and will this cut down traffic. Ms. Blakeman responded that roundabouts do
break up straight away traffic movement.
Committee Member Thacker asked if smaller parcels would lessen traffic and impact
to the adjacent neighborhood and if the local street classifications were correct. Ms.
Blakeman responded that the local streets were based on street classification maps
and their study will be reviewed and approved by the City. Ms. Riddell stated that any
additional submittals or updates to the phases would be reviewed as they come
available.
Committee Member Thacker asked Mr. Klimek if the Turney Avenue and Glenrosa
were local streets. Mr. Klimek responded that the street classification is noted in the
staff report Ms. Blakeman responded that the street classification is available online.
Chair Wagner stated the street classification and traffic counts will be resolved with the
traffic impact study which will be provided by the applicant. Ms. Riddell responded that
each phase of the project will require an update and will be reviewed.

Committee Member Thacker stated two traffic studies have been done. Ms. Riddell
responded that a traffic impact study will also be completed and there will be an update
for each phase.
Committee Member Thacker noted that there was an initial plan where one street
remained open and now appears as closed and asked how this was determined. Ms.
Riddell responded after several meeting with various stakeholder traffic was the single
most important issue as well as including open space and closing one street was in the
best interest of the project. Committee Member Thacker asked when the first meeting
was held regarding the street closure. Ms. Riddell responded that a meeting was held
February 3rd. Committee Member Thacker asked if the neighborhood had been
notified about the development. Ms. Riddell responded neighbors were not notified and
the road closure was not the result of a single meeting and there was input from the
community.
Committee Member Kleinman asked about the proposal’s timeline and the amount of
communication and range of responses, and the decision process. Ms. Riddell
responded that accessing the responses with the level of diversity was a challenge for
the decisions that were made. Committee Member Kleinman asked about the
community feedback and if they were vastly different. Ms. Riddell responded
affirmatively that the feedback was vastly different.
Committee Member Thacker asked how does blocking off Montecito Avenue help
traffic. Ms. Riddell responded that by doing this it will direct traffic to Central Avenue.
Committee Member Thacker asked if Glenrosa Avenue will be blocked as well. Ms.
Riddell responded that the traffic mitigation measures will be implemented to control
traffic movement.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
Ed Hermes a resident of the Carnation Neighborhood, stated he is in favor of the
proposal. Mr. Hermes said the vacant lot has been a concern for some time and
development had been discussed and it has been a long process and he commended
the developer for the outreach and meetings they conducted so far. Mr. Hermes
expressed that many of the people attending have also been at many of the meetings
and this proposal has undergone many changes in the last year and a half. Mr. Hermes
described the Carnation Neighborhood as an area between 7th Avenue and Central
Avenue and Indian School Road and the Arizona Canal and has been on the
neighborhood board for 7 years and is on the Osborn School District Board and has
been involved with street safety. Mr. Hermes said there has been a dearth of investment
in the neighborhood from the City, but there are few sidewalks and no roundabouts and
they have petitioned the City for bikeway improvements and that the proposal with the
stipulations for traffic mitigation and the addition of sidewalks is very appreciated and
will be a huge win for the neighborhood. The addition of sidewalks and other traffic
mitigations, and the commercial space is a big win to create a walkable and bicycle
friendly environment. Mr. Hermes said the neighborhood wants a bodega, salons, a
grocery store and limiting access on Turney Avenue is appreciated. Mr. Hermes

expressed concern that no one was present from the Street Transportation Department
because there are many details in the development that need to be addressed including
sidewalks are roadway narrowing. Mr. Hermes stated he would like support for the
proposal to move forward and to start the street designs, he supports the increased
bicycle parking and wider sidewalks. Mr. Hermes stated he supports the proposal with
the new stipulations and asks for a yes vote.
Cliff Valenti stated he serves as the Carnation Neighborhood Association Secretary,
and he is in favor of the proposal with changes. Mr. Valenti introduced himself and
thanked the Committee and said he supports progress, understands development and
has followed the decisions, discussions, debates and progress of the proposal. Mr.
Valenti stated he attended thirteen meetings, conducted surveys, researched zoning
law and provided feedback to Petree Properties to align the project with the goals of the
neighborhood. Mr. Valenti expressed his frustration with Petree because they have
been unwilling to respond and already designed the project without neighbor input, but
in the last week they have made some very serious concessions. Mr. Valenti expressed
a renewed sense of excitement in the key aspects of the design including the increased
commercial space which is essential for urban walkability and services and the
elimination of car trips, which is compatible with neighborhood. Mr. Valenti expressed
his disappointment with the Planning Department for not supporting the step back to
decrease the building height to be more aligned with the one-story neighborhood and
how this will impact adjacent homeowners and create a dominate structure. Mr. Valenti
stated that building height in transects should be coordinated with the neighborhood and
Petree has been responsive to adjusting building height and the inclusion of a park has
been positive, but it is an eleventh-hour response and there are still concerns. Mr.
Valenti stated that with the changes Petree has been responsive and has shown a
willingness to be an active partner to create a well-functioning neighborhood.
Kristen Lisson introduced herself as a resident and member of the Carnation
Neighborhood Association, she is not against the proposal, but she opposed the lack of
walkability within the high-density development. Ms. Lisson stated that the site will be
the largest, dense residential development in the area, and they had originally wanted
seven parcels that would support sunlight, shade, frontage and walkability. Ms. Lisson
stated the development was designed around the parking garage and is not truly transit
oriented and there are concerns with the traffic study which has some errors and relies
on arbitrary terms. Ms. Lisson stated the City has conducted a minimal review and the
developer is focused on profits and any approval should be with stipulations for smaller
blocks and the traffic study needs to be reviewed.
Diane Mihelsky, introduced herself as resident of the Carnation Neighborhood. Ms.
Mihelsky stated Petee has worked hard and granted a lot of concessions, and the
neighborhood board has worked hard on the development of the proposal and the traffic
circles work well. Ms. Mihelsky stated that approval for the traffic circles will take 180
days and there are other traffic calming devices, and there is already a lot of traffic in
the area, and it will be difficult to get the traffic circles approved. Ms. Mihelsky request
that Petree give some discretion and leeway in considering other traffic calming devices
because the traffic circles may not work.

Julie Hampton introduced her shelf as the President of the Carnation Neighborhood
Association and stated she is reluctantly optimistic of the proposal. Ms. Hampton stated
she has been a resident of the neighborhood since 2016 and lives across from the
proposed site and has conducted considerable research on the development. Ms.
Hampton expressed that she became familiar with the Uptown, TOD Policy, Reinvent
Phoenix Plan and communicating with residents through surveys to vote on priorities for
the proposal. Ms. Hampton expresses her disillusion with the process because the
proposal does not align with City’s policies and guidelines for walkability and mixed use
in the Reinvent Phoenix Plan. Ms. Hampton stated that the property that had been
vacant for 30 years should have done right by the community and it has only been in the
last week after a year of negotiating that Petree has provided stipulations that include
mixed use and there has been little time to review the details with the neighborhood.
Ms. Hampton said she hopes Petree is sincere about their stipulations and involvement
with the neighborhood with building and landscape designs to extend the existing
community. Ms. Hampton stated that the Carnation Neighborhood has been active in
planting trees to mitigate heat and conserve water. Ms. Hampton stated the
neighborhood has many successful businesses and wants to see that continue and
foster the local economy and all parties need to work together to bring the Reinvent
Phoenix Plan to life.
Jennifer Garrett introduced herself as a resident of the Carnation Neighborhood and a
registered architect and she supports the proposal. Ms. Garrett stated she lives at
intersection of 3rd Avenue and Glenrosa Avenue and the proposal will have a direct
impact on her family every day. Ms. Garrett stated in reviewing the proposal she thought
it was sensitive, well thought out and engaged and expressed appreciation for the work.
Ms. Garrett stated that it was a beautiful proposal but there was work to be done with
traffic mitigation and traffic circles should be used like the in the Willo Neighborhood.
Ms. Garrett asked the Committee for their support for the proposal.
Bob Deardorff introduced himself as a resident of the neighborhood and is a registered
architect and supports the proposal. Mr. Deardorff stated that this is a sensitive project,
and that increased density is inevitable and single family residential has its own
problems. Mr. Deardorff said that the transition from Central Avenue to the
neighborhood is sensitive and the developer is compromising to allow changes and the
proposal deserves to be supported.
Kim Jennings introduced herself as a resident of the neighborhood and stated her
primary concern is traffic in the area where there is lots of congestion. Ms. Jennings
stated there are three schools in the area and adding more traffic will be unsafe and the
City has failed the residents. Ms. Jennings stated that the Urban Walkable Code was
not thought out for the neighborhood and to allow this large proposal to be built will
negatively impact the single-family homes. Ms. Jennings expressed her concern with
the proposal’s building height and how the City has allowed this to be so close to the
neighborhood.

David Brian Jenkins introduced himself as a resident of the neighborhood and stated
that the proposal will destruct the peace and quiet of the area. Mr. Jenkins stated the
project has several flaws that need to be corrected, the number of units is excessive,
and car traffic will have great impact in the area. Mr. Jenkins said he is concerned that
the developer could start construction at any time and create a mess for the
neighborhood there needs to be an assurance for a schedule. Mr. Jenkins said it is
important to save the family friendly streets of Turney Avenue and Glenrosa Avenue.
Ken Waters introduced himself and stated he resides at in Pierson Place near Central
Avenue and Camelback Road and opposes the proposal. Mr. Waters stated the City is
failing its TOD and what is happening to transit adjacent to development and there
needs to be a symbiotic system that supports transit redevelopment. Mr. Waters stated
that single use project are being built along Central Avenue where several projects have
been developed with very little commercial space which is not consistent with main
street projects in the Uptown and Midtown areas. Mr. Waters stated the proposed site
should have more commercial space which should be located on the first floor but the
focus has been on residential development on Central Avenue. Mr. Waters stated the
proposal is not a meaningful mix use project and the emphasis has been on residential
development on large lots and is not consistent with an urban walkable lifestyle. Mr.
Waters stated that with the use of artificial intelligence a true mixed-use project could be
more effectively planned, and traffic mitigation must be fully evaluated for this proposal.
Mr. Waters stated that a study area between McDowell Road to Missouri Avenue
between 7th Street to 7th Avenue might be an option to consider in supporting a true
mixed-use development.
APPLICANT RESPONSE:
Ms. Riddell noted the Reinvent Phoenix Plan and the comments for block sizes,
walkability and relative sizes. Ms. Riddell stated that the Walkable Urban Code notes
block lengths at 600 feet and the proposal conforms to the definition and there are stoop
units along the perimeter fronting to the neighborhoods. Ms. Riddell stated that the
proposal was developed with outreach and engagement from neighbors and the
community. Ms. Riddell stated the proposal sought to restore the street network and
include many traffic mitigations features to promote pedestrian connections which is an
important investment in the Carnation Neighborhood. Ms. Riddell expressed the 7-block
size which came from the Subdivision Code that requires an offset for driveways which
are in the proposal. Ms. Riddell stated the pedestrian networks have been created and
stoop units will provide street level connectivity. Ms. Riddell expressed that the proposal
achieves a balance with commercial use which would create more traffic.
Committee Member Mahrle asked about the 7-block building plan. Ms. Riddell
displayed the conceptual plan that shows the 7-blocks which complies with the TOD
Policy Plan and the conceptual plan shows how development might occur. Committee
Member Mahrle commented that traffic on Glenrosa Avenue from Central Avenue may
contribute to cut through traffic into the neighborhood.

Ms. Riddell stated they had done a significant amount of work with the Carnation
Neighborhood and expressed gratitude for the participation in the meeting and is willing
the extend the stipulations that will run with the property. Ms. Riddell stated they would
respectfully appreciate the Committee’s support for the proposal.
COMMITTEE DISCUSSION:
Committee Member Matthews asked about the traffic stipulations that include traffic
calming measures and could this also be extended to Turney Avenue. Ms. Riddell
responded that there had been extensive discussions with the Street Department and
they would have to determine if traffic calming features can be added and the developer
would be open to the idea.
Vice Chair Rodriguez asked about the applicability of Vision Zero and the TOD and if
the crosswalks at Central Avenue and Glenrosa Avenue will be widened in the past
there was concern about reducing sidewalks with the with a wider street and additional
costs for changing the crosswalks. Ms. Riddell responded that the crosswalks will be
relocated to be closer to the intersection rather than widened and in the process, they
are evaluating the alignment and configuration of the turn lane and sidewalks. Vice
Chair Rodriguez asked if there will be an additional turning lane and was this a Street
Department recommendation. Ms. Riddell responded affirmatively that they are
following the recommendation.
MOTION:
Committee Member Brent Kleinman made a motion to recommend approval of Z-17-
22-4 with the addition of the stipulations from the applicant to supersede the City’s
stipulations; with direction that Petree will have an in-person meeting with the
neighborhood to describe their stipulations prior to the Planning Commission meeting;
and with a modification of Stipulation No. 36 to include traffic calming infrastructure at
5th Avenue and Turney Avenue.
Committee Member Steve Procaccini seconded the motion.
DISCUSSION:
Committee Member Thacker noted that some improvements will be offsite and how is
traffic calming part of the stipulations that is not tied to the rezone request and is it
enforceable. Committee Member Thacker asked with a petition what is the percentage
of signatures required to put in traffic circles and other calming measures. Ms. Riddell
responded the traffic mitigation stipulations may not be required but they will voluntarily
include them and they would be a conditional to the approval and would be required in
the permitting process so they would be enforceable. Ms. Riddell stated the petitions
will be prepared with technical input conducted within 60 days and turned over to the
neighborhood and explained the required signature percentages required.

Committee Member Matthews introduced a friendly amendment to the motion
adding to stipulation No. 36 to add calming infrastructure to an east-west street.
Committee Member Kleinman noted the plans include traffic calming on Turney
Avenue and 2nd Avenue. Committee Member Matthews stated that traffic calming
should be included for Campbell Avenue and 5th Avenue for access to Monterosa
Avenue.
Chair Wagner asked if friendly amendment was acceptable. Committee Member
Kleinman stated that Stipulation No. 36 has been prematurely agreed to, and the
language may be stated as installing additional street calming infrastructure as needed
and the applicant will work with the Street Transportation Department. Committee
Matthews stated that any changes would be subject to negotiations and review, and for
consideration the addition of traffic calming would extend to 7th Avenue which would
reduce traffic in the neighborhood and address concerns. Committee Member
Kleinman stated that including traffic calming on 5th Avenue if approved by the Street
Transportation Department would be a suitable addition. Committee Member
Matthews concurred with the addition of traffic calming on 5th Avenue.
Committee Member Thacker asked for confirmation that adding traffic calming devices
would be enforceable by the city. Mr. Klimek responded traffic calming is enforceable
by the city when proportionate to the development so any traffic concerns can be
addressed through offsite improvements and if the intent is to address cut through traffic
from 7th Avenue that may not be a proportionate response.
Committee Member Matthews referenced Stipulation No. 36 and noted that adding
traffic calming to the east-west corridor will help mitigate excessive traffic. Ms. Riddell
responded that with the request there will be 5 traffic calming circles and they are open
to the idea but this may require more negotiation with the neighborhood. Committee
Member Matthews clarified that the intent is to address traffic calming on Turney
Avenue as an addition to the stipulation.
Mr. Klimek asked for clarification on the friendly amendment and asked if it was
acceptable to Committee Member Kleinman and Committee Member Procaccini.
Committee Member Kleinman referenced that the point was the inclusion of traffic
calming at 5th Avenue and Turney Avenue and if it is acceptable by the Street
Transportation Department. Committee Member Procaccini affirmed the acceptance
of the friendly amendment.
Committee Member Thacker referenced the traffic study and asked about the 98
percent of the traffic flow that was going to the arterial streets and made a request to
add a friendly amendment to restrict traffic to enforce 95 percent of the traffic onto
arterial streets instead of going thought the closed streets to align with the applicant’s
study. Committee Member Mahrle asked how that would be enforced.
Chair Wagner asked Committee Member Kleinman and Committee Member Procaccini
if the friendly amendment as recommended by Committee Member Thacker was
acceptable. Committee Member Kleinman did not agree to the friendly amendment

VOTE:
10-2; motion to approve Z-17-22-4 per the staff recommendation with modifications and
additional stipulations passes with Committee Members Benjamin, Kleinman, Mahrle,
Matthews, Picos, Procaccini, Searles, Tedhams, Vice Chair Rodriguez, Chair Wagner in
support; with Committee Members George and Thacker opposed.
Committee Member Thacker stated development in Phoenix calls for diverse
communities that have affordable housing and increased transit ridership and this
proposal does not provide these things. Committee Member Thacker noted that smaller
parcels are better suited for neighborhood development and the proposal is a luxury
multifamily development in addition to 14 other multifamily developments in the area
and this is the largest residential development so far. Committee Member Thacker
stated that the review for this proposal has been rushed and it is an abomination and

Member Thacker questioned the Committee’s purpose.

environment, and it is a good project and thanked the applicants for their willingness to
work with the neighbors and come up with solutions for increasing the commercial
