VPC DISCUSSION & RECOMMENDED STIPULATIONS:
Item No. 5 (GPA-SM-13-23-8) and Item No. 6 (Z-92-23-8) are companion cases and
were heard together.
Three members of the public registered to speak on this item, two in support and one in

STAFF PRESENTATION
Samuel Rogers, staff, presented the request, the location of the subject site, the
surrounding context, the General Plan Land Use Map designation, the site plan,
proposed elevations, the staff recommendation, the staff findings, and concluded by
presenting the proposed stipulations.
Committee Member Marcia Busching asked why there was a stipulation limiting
proposed heights in the R-4 and R1-10 zoning districts, but not in the C-2 and R-3 zoning
districts. Mr. Rogers stated that the stipulations limiting height were proposed by the
applicant and that the question could be better answered by the applicant.
Committee Member Emma Viera stated her appreciation for the proposed stipulations
and stated that the stipulations are in alignment with various sustainability plans.
Committee Member Tamala Daniels asked if there had been any stipulations regarding
the consideration of the flood zone map. Mr. Rogers stated that in a previous case, a
similar stipulation had been added by the committee but was ultimately removed
because the floodplain reviewers assess plans according to specific ordinance criteria.
Committee Member T. Daniels spoke about a previous case where the committee had

PUBLIC COMMENT
JoAnne Jensen introduced herself, stated that she lives in Magdalena Estates, spoke
about the applicant team’s work with the neighborhood, stated that she has met with the
applicant team many times, stated that the applicant team and neighborhood had
developed a shared vision of what is best for the subject site, emphasized the
importance of remembering that the development is transitioning from nothing to a
significant project, acknowledged that changes are inevitable, and expressed that the
plan represents the best vision for the area. Ms. Jensen expressed her approval for the
inclusion of wide lots in the development plan and voiced her support for the R-3
townhomes, specifically highlighting the two-story design, orientation, open view fencing,
and setback considerations. Ms. Jensen also mentioned the hope to avoid undesirable
uses within the development through an agreement with the development team and
noted that there is not a large contingent from Magdalena Estates opposing the project.
Ms. Jensen stated that the team could not have done better with the plan, highlighted
concerns with Gary Way, stated that the Gary Way is hardly a road, stated that Gary
Way is paved but not striped, and raised concerns that 15th Avenue has not been
approved beyond the area near the Charter School. Ms. Jensen emphasized the need to
have faith in something, recognized the efforts of the applicant team, and noted that
there is considerable support within Magdalena Estates for the project.
Ed Depinto introduced himself, stated he has lived in the area for 20 years, stated that
the area is starved for responsible development, commended the proposed buffering to

South Mountain Village Planning Committee
Meeting Summary
Z-92-23-8
May 14, 2024
Page 3 of 13
with the applicant team and was not aware there were additional meetings. Ms. Hegedus
stated that she liked what Ms. Jensen discussed regarding the townhomes but explained
that she does not want to act on faith and wants to see real plans.
APPLICANT RESPONSE
Mr. Jellies explained that there is a Zoning Ordinance limit on height in the R-3 zone, so
a height limitation was not stipulated, stated that the list of stipulations had been
abbreviated and explained that the full stipulations include shading and planting
requirements, explained that the applicant team had requested stipulations to be added
in response to conversations with the community, stated concerns about Gary Road, and
reiterated that he would like to request a stipulation limiting the R-4-zoned area to a
maximum of 360 units.
QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE
Committee Member Busching stated that there was a stipulation regarding the
maximum density in the R-3 zone. Mr. Jellies stated that there is a maximum density in
the R-3 zoning district per the Zoning Ordinance and explained that the applicant team
had agreed to stipulate the R-4 density below what is allowed per the Ordinance.
Committee Member Busching stated that the R-3 has a max height of 48 feet, stated that
the R-4 is stipulated to a maximum height of 30 feet, and asked what the max height in
the C-2 district is. Mr. Rogers stated that the maximum height in the C-2 zoning district
is two stories of 30 feet. Chair Marchuk clarified that the R-3 area would be stipulated to
two stories or 30 feet and that the R-4 area would be stipulated to a maximum of 360
units. Mr. Jellies confirmed this clarification. Committee Member Busching asked if the
highest intensity would be in the center of the development. Mr. Jellies responded that
the community was given a choice in the proposed configuration and that the streetscape
was more important and noted that the land slopes down from 19th Avenue. Committee
Member Busching inquired about how someone would access their home in the
northeast area. Mr. Jellies explained the route and stated that while land use restrictions
cannot be stipulated, the developer will impose restrictions through other mechanisms.
Mr. Jellies stated that he was familiar with the subdivision that had flooding issues,
stated he has been involved in flood issues in the area for 25 years, explained he worked
on the Laveen Area Conveyance Channel, stated that a new plan had been put in place
that uses retention basins and expands the storm pipe system, stated that rezonings are
required to do a drainage study that accounts for the latest plans, and explained that it is
in the best financial interest for the developer to properly manage water.
Committee Member T. Daniels stated there was not a stipulation regarding landscaping
within the landscape setbacks. Mr. Rogers stated that tree size was stipulated in the
parking areas and sidewalk detachments, but not within the landscape setbacks and
explained that the C-2 district requires enhanced landscape setbacks. Committee

Member T. Daniels asked if solar canopies over the parking area were considered. Mr.
Jellies stated that they are fans of solar canopies and they are a good idea depending on
the government incentives available at the time. Committee Member T. Daniels stated
she is a fan of landscaped parking lots so she will not push too hard. Mr. Jellies stated
that the stipulation allows for a combination of landscaping and structural shade. Mr.
Rogers clarified that the stipulation only allows for landscaping. Chair Marchuk asked if
solar counts towards the landscaping plan. Mr. Rogers stated that there is no City
requirement for solar, so it does not fit into the plans and explained how the stipulation
could be modified to allow for structural shade.
Chair Marchuk asked if the floodplain concerns will be handled through the process
and if a floodplain stipulation would be appropriate. Committee Member T. Daniels
explained that she had worked with the City to require that floodplain review be a part of
the rezoning process. Chair Marchuk asked for staff’s opinion. Mr. Rogers explained
that he was not a staff member when the process change Committee Member T.
Daniels referenced occurred and stated that floodplain team reviews every rezoning
case. Elias Valencia, staff, stated that the floodplain team reviews rezoning cases for
any major concerns, stated that the plans will be required to submit grading and
drainage plans during the site review process, stated that he thinks the committee
should allow the process to run its course, and stated that the liability is always passed
onto the developer. Mr. Jellies echoed Mr. Valencia’s comments, stated that in the
subdivision with flooding problems the review process had failed, but the liability
process worked, and stated that an in-depth drainage analysis would be completed on
the site and surrounding area. Committee Member T. Daniels inquired about the overlay
of flood maps during the review of the proposal and shared an exercise she had
participated in involving floodplain analysis. Mr. Jellies stated that any property that
touches a floodplain must be reviewed by the City and FEMA and stated that once the
project is built the plans get sent to FEMA so they can update their maps. Committee
Members T. Daniels stated that she would be more comfortable if a stipulation is added
regarding the floodplain. Mr. Jellies expressed concern about the potential
misinterpretation of stipulations, emphasized the rationale behind code requirements,
elaborated on the necessity for adherence to both state regulations, which provide
large-scale requirements, and city-specific criteria, which address detailed specifics.
Chair Marchuk asked if any specific stipulations were under consideration. Committee
Member T. Daniels emphasized the importance of reviewing updated overflow maps,
noting the dynamic nature of flow patterns, stressed that modifications to the design
could impact flow dynamics, and emphasized the need to assess potential implications
for homes situated within these flow areas. Chair Marchuk suggested collaborating with
Mr. Rogers on refining the language of stipulations. Mr. Rogers indicated that he had
never added a stipulation regarding floodplain that was not requested by the floodplain
team and explained that when the VPC had added a floodplain stipulation on a previous
project it had been removed because floodplain reviewers review specific codified
criteria.

Vice Chair Arthur Greathouse III commended the applicant team for their exemplary
communication with the VPC, requested further elaboration from the applicant on the
intended commercial uses within the area, their compatibility with the residential
character, and the potential inclusion of an urgent care facility. Mr. Jellies stated that the
development team is looking to develop an urgent care facility, mentioned targeting a
Fry's grocery store, and specified the intention to prohibit gas stations at the corner of
19th Avenue and Baseline Road.
Committee Member Darlene Jackson inquired about the responsibility for park
maintenance. Mr. Jellies indicated that maintenance would likely fall under the purview
of the R-4 development team and assured ongoing efforts to ensure proper upkeep of
the park. Committee Member Jackson raised concerns about the illumination of the
park. Mr. Jellies affirmed plans for adequate lighting, with adherence to any applicable
dark sky ordinances.
Chair Marchuk inquired about the readiness of language concerning a floodplain
stipulation. Mr. Rogers stated that while no language was currently available, it could
be researched and potentially added at the Planning Commission stage. Mr. Valencia
highlighted that a hydrological analysis would be required during the preliminary site
plan review, cautioned against duplicating requirements with additional stipulations, and
emphasized that preliminary approval meetings are open to the public.
Committee Member Lee Coleman stated that the City of Phoenix requires a grading
and drainage plan to be submitted and reviewed.
