A. Purpose 
Pew & Lake, PLC (the “Applicant”), on behalf of Blandford Homes and with the permission of 
the Arizona State Land Department (the “Property Owner”), is pleased to submit this Citizen 
Participation Plan, in support of proposed Rezone and General Plan Amendment requests for 
210 acres of property in the City of Mesa (the Project).  As shown below, there are two properties 
in the requests: 102 acres in the southern portion of Hawes Crossing Village 7, and 108 acres in 
the northern portion of Hawes Crossing Village 8.   The Properties are on the south side of Elliot 
Road, on the west and east sides of the Loop 202 Freeway. The properties are owned by the 
Arizona State Land Department.  Accordingly, there are no assigned Maricopa County Assessor 
parcel numbers. The purpose of this plan is to inform nearby property owners, neighborhood 
associations, and businesses in the vicinity of the proposed Rezoning and General Plan 
Amendment applications that have been submitted to the City of Mesa.

C. Pre-Submittal Conference 
The Pre-submittal Conference with City of Mesa Development Services staff was held December 
2, 2025. Staff reviewed the application and recommended that adjacent residents, and nearby 
registered neighborhoods be contacted. 
D. Action Plan 
The Project team recognizes the importance that public participation plays in the development 
process. We are committed to encouraging and allowing the public to express their thoughts, 
helping them understand the proposal and addressing any concerns in a professional and 
appropriate manner. In order to provide effective citizen participation in conjunction with this 
application, the following actions will be taken to provide affected property owners with the 
opportunity to voice any concerns or questions they may have about the proposed 
development: 
 
1. A virtual neighborhood meeting will be held at a future date and will feature a 
presentation that will include the existing and proposed zoning districts, and a 
thorough discussion of each.  The presentation may also include preliminary 
elevations of the proposed residential development.  The Notice of Neighborhood 
meeting will be mailed to all Property Owners within 1000 feet of the project 
boundaries, using a list provided by the City of Mesa.  The notice will be sent at 
least 15-days in advance of the neighborhood meeting, and the mailing list will 
include:

a. All registered neighborhood associations within one mile of the project. 
b. Homeowners Associations within one half mile of the project. 
c. Property owners within 1000 feet of the development.   
 
A summary of the meeting, including any questions asked and the applicant’s response to 
each, will be provided to the City in the Citizen Participation Report. The report will be provided 
to the City prior to the first public hearing at which the rezoning will be considered.
