DMP2021001 / Z2021050  – White Tank Foothills Phase 3  
Agenda Items: 8 and 9  
Since the publishing of the staff report for the above listed cases, staff received one letter 
and one phone call from residents opposed to these requests. The letter and phone call 
reference the loss of rural character of the area, increased traffic, concerns with access, 
and allowance for high density in and around the community.  
Attachment: 
 
Letter of opposition (1 page)

Maricopa County, 
  
We are strongly opposed to this Rezoning Request for the following reasons: 
xThe proposed Rezone will almost double the approved density from 390 homes to 770 homes.  This 
is inconsistent with the currently 2013         approved zoning for WTF Phase 3. 
xApproving this Rezone will disrupt the transition of density from the larger (1-acre+) lots on 
Northern to the 75-foot wide R1-8 and 65-foot wide         R1-7 lots approaching Seldon to the north. 
xWhite Tank Foothills is unique with mid-size lots offering room for private yard space, pools, and 
other amenities.  We are not a high-density          community like Marley Park or Verrado with small 
lots and community club-style amenities. 
xThis density is much too high for our neighborhood and was not part of the neighborhood plan 
when we built our homes. 
 
x      Please understand the REZONE will ruin the character of our community by allowing high-
density small lots, smaller homes, two story homes         and more traffic along with all the 
related safety issues and concerns…all can be prevented by DENYING this REZONE to allow 
higher density with 770 homes.  
 
 Please share our opposition with your team, including County Staff, Planning and Zoning 
Commissioners, and the Board of Supervisors.  We will be attending the public hearing and we 
appreciate your consideration to deny this Rezone. 
  
Sincerely,

DMP2021-001 White Tank Foothills Phase III and Z2021050 – White Tank Foothills Phase III 
INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF BUILDING SITES 
The proposed construction does not align with the community that is presently adjacent to the proposed 
construction in any direction.  Presently homes in Noble Ridge are nearly a quarter of an acre or over a quarter of 
an acre. Properties south and east of the proposed development are larger or large parcel rural horse properties.  
This proposed denser construction does not mesh with the existing rural feel of the area.  In addition, due west of 
the proposed construction is land that is open and undeveloped. 
GENERAL AREA TRAFFIC CONDITIONS 
It needs to be re-emphasized that the traffic access to 303 and Northern Parkway in this area is limited and 
constrained at best.  People in the proposed community will only have access to 303 going south and will only have 
an off ramp to the north.  Due to the rail spur at Olive, there is no access to 303. This puts anyone needing access 
to 303 to the north having to depart using Citrus to Olive to Cotton to Peoria, to have full access to 303.  The Peoria 
and Cotton intersection is already an overtaxed intersection that is poorly designed for normal use. Tight turning 
radii and large vehicles compound the problem and during peak hours it is backed up 20 to 25 cars deep. 
Access to Northern Parkway is cumbersome.  The drivers will have to use Olive or Northern Avenue to get to the 
Northern Parkway access point. This isn’t the only proposed development in the area, and many others are under 
construction. 
Olive Avenue is a primary access to this area from the north and recently a K-12 school began construction that will 
significantly increase traffic in the morning and the afternoon during the school year.  This school is a welcome 
addition to the community, but its presence increases traffic during peak travel times. 
In summary the general traffic conditions the full immediate access to 303 is Peoria Avenue on the north and 
Glendale Avenue on the south. There has been limited traffic infrastructure improvement to this area. Traffic 
saturation and congestion is a certainty under the present conditions and allowing additional building sites will 
only increase the problem.   
 
ACCESS TO THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 
This ingress and egress to the proposed development is of particular concern.  My anecdotal evaluation is that the 
traffic analysis does not match the current traffic conditions.  The proposed use of White Tank Foothills Boulevard 
to be the primary ingress and egress will overload 181st Street.  This puts the load of traffic right through an 
existing community. Even with the addition of the access to Citrus from the proposed development the natural 
flow for those going north will be to drive to Seldon, a four-lane road that will allow simultaneous right and left 
turns to access Citrus to get to Olive. A single lane road accessing Citrus will support right hand turns but labor any 
left turn traffic. The most glaring miss is that there is no access to Northern Avenue from the proposed community. 
There is a location within the proposed development to access Northern Avenue on the south end. This would 
provide more direct access from the south end sites to 303 or proceed to Saraval or Reems to access Northern 
Parkway.  Without this proposed community having access to Northern Avenue all the traffic is funneled through 
the existing communities and onto Citrus which in the least is an inconsiderate approach to managing traffic safety 
and traffic flow.

CONCLUSION 
My wife and I made the decision to move here a little over a year ago and one of the major components to choose 
Waddell even with the community development of the area the county planning and zoning had maintained the 
more rural feel with the implementation of the existing construction.  As I review and contemplate what is recently 
proposed from Citrus & Lower Buckeye, LLC it is my opinion it is a departure from the present housing 
implementation.  They may not believe that based on numerical analysis that thy are propagating high density 
housing but for those of us that live in the existing community it has the feel and look of high-density housing.  The 
key component is ‘those of us that live here’.  It is easy to subjectively say it isn’t high density, but the fact of the 
matter is Citrus & Buckeye, LLC is proposing to saturate the acreage adjacent to Noble Ridge with a lot more 
homes which translates to a lot more cars and a lot more people for acre.

Subject: Rezoning of White Tank Foothills adddition 
 
I attended the second neighborhood meeting regarding the rezoning. I find it very discouraging that a 20 
year old traffic study is being held in stone. This study needs to be redone, physically. Enough with 
estimations and projections. Also, how can there not be an increase in emergency services with this 
many new homes? One fire department and one dedicated sheriff? Please. Due diligence and proper 
protection needs to be provided.

Tank Foothills Request to Rezone Phase 3 
Planning & Zoning 
Commission Hearing Date 
November 4, 2021 
Reason for the Appeal of 
the Subject Case 
We would like to thank you for being our representatives on the 
Maricopa County Planning and Zoning Board. 
 
We are writing to discuss: 
DMP2021001 & Z2021050 – White Tank Foothills Ph. 3 - White 
Tank Foothills Request to Rezone Phase 3 
 
We will start by saying that we support the original 2013 zoning 
plan, but not the proposed rezone will almost double the 
approved density from 390 homes to 770 homes. We know that 
“times and housing needs” change, but we feel that nearly 
doubling the original number of homes and shrinking the lot 
size will have an extremely negative effect on our 
neighborhood and the surrounding infrastructure.

Too many households with insufficient amenities and routes of 
egress in and out of the community.  
 
Safety issues for the children, an uptick in crime, noise, and 
traffic (signalization on Citrus) (on/off ramps 303).  
Additional stress on an already overburdened fire and police 
force and our dwindling water supply,  
 
The warehouse workers that were mentioned during the 
meeting will be working 24-hour shifts, not just 9-5. This will 
mean 24-hour traffic on the new roads that are next to our 
subdivision.  
 
We purchased our homes, probably the largest investment 
many of us will make in our lifetimes, in good faith that what 
was previously approved was true. This applies not only to the 
original zoning plan, but what the home builder advised 
potential buyers. We know we cannot stop progress and do not 
want to. We would like to see what we were promised upheld. 
 
We do not feel the decisions being made are in the best 
interest of the residents but are in the best interest of lining the 
pockets of the developers and homebuilders. 
 
If the commission members lived in our neighborhood this 
would have a very different outcome. They would not want this 
happening in their backyard. We were very discouraged when 
attending the online meeting on how bored and disinterested 
the commission members were. I have a couple of screenshots 
I took of the new plans during the meeting that also show the 
commissioners during the meeting if you would like to see 
them. 
 
Commissioner Brophy McGee even stated that she “thought 
this had already been decided”. If that was a true statement, 
why is everyone wasting their time.  
 
Please share our opposition with your team, including County 
Staff, Planning and Zoning Commissioners, and the Board of 
Supervisors. We appreciate your consideration to deny this 
rezoning measure. 
 
Sincerely,  
Steve and Suzan Burger

Reason for the Appeal of 
the Subject Case 
I am not in favor of the increase in density with the requested 
change requested by the applicant to increase the number of 
housing unions by 383 units over the previously approved 
number for White Tank Foothills Phase 3 plan. It is does not 
comply with the original intent of the entire White Tank Foothills 
development. We bought our home here because of the 
original development plan and more upscale type of housing 
units and lot sizes. not the 5000 sq ft lots with less than a 15 ft 
backyard. 
I feel that the Planning and Zoning commissioners didn't take 
the interest of the residents into consideration when they voted. 
There was minimally if no discussion of the numerous objection 
letters sent in by the current residents, just complete 
agreement with the applicant to increase the density of the final 
phase. I believe that the responses of the current residents

were no addressed prior to the P & Z commissioners vote to 
approve the application , due in part to the statement one of 
them made as to the effect of welcoming the increased 
property tax revenues.

Reason for the Appeal of 
the Subject Case 
I disagree with the decision to increase the housing in White 
Tank Foot Hills phase 3 development by 100% from what was 
originally zoned. Over 70% of the existing homeowners who 
reside within 300 ft of the White Tank Foot Hills Phase 3 
development have raised their objection. (Many more 
homeowners would have also made their objections know had 
they been contacted. Most people living in Phase one were 
never contacted. They only heard by word of mouth from their 
neighbors) The number of homes being proposed will create an 
over crowded, highly congested area that is not in keeping with 
the more spacious builds in the existing phase one. It is also 
not in keeping with the farm type 1,2 and 3 acre lots to the 
south. The proposed lot sizes are much smaller, streets are 
narrower and green spaces are smaller. More importantly the 
design of streets within and entering and exiting phase 3 are

sorely inadequate. While the representatives made token 
changes to the design they have not satisfied the concerns 
voiced clearly by homeowners at two poorly advertised 
meetings. Representatives attempted to appease and quiet our 
concerns with phone calls, personal meetings in homes and an 
assurance that further changes would be made. They even 
tried to divide and individually persuade our compliance with 
these one on one contacts. They threw out tokens such as 
"Home Owners will be placed on the Board of Directors." Hand 
chosen it seems of those who were in agreement with what 
they wanted to accomplish. Bottom line this increase is not 
appropriate for the current feel and appearance of the existing 
homes on all sides. The design of the layout of streets 
including egress and access presents major safety hazards 
during emergencies and a 100 % increase in congestion not 
only within that phase but also within the existing phase one. 
All trips in and out of phase three must go through phase one 
to get to an egress or access point. Please reconsider the 
approval of rezoning this property.

Subject: OPPOSITION to DMP2021001 & Z2021050 – White Tank Foothills Ph. 3 Maricopa County 
 
We are strongly opposed to this Rezoning Request for the following reasons: · The proposed Rezone will 
almost double the approved density from 390 homes to 770 homes. This is inconsistent with the 
currently 2013 approved zoning for WTF Phase 3. · Approving this Rezone will disrupt the transition of 
density from the larger (1-acre+) lots on Northern to the 75-foot wide R1-8 and 65-foot wide R1-7 lots 
approaching Seldon to the north. · White Tank Foothills is unique with mid-size lots offering room for 
private yard space, pools, and other amenities. We are not a high-density community like Marley Park or 
Verrado with small lots and community club-style amenities. · This density is much too high for our 
neighborhood and was not part of the neighborhood plan when we built our homes. Please understand 
the REZONE will ruin the character of our community by allowing high-density small lots, smaller homes, 
two story homes and more traffic along with all the related safety issues and concerns…all can be 
prevented by DENYING this REZONE to allow higher density with 770 homes. Please share our 
opposition with your team, including County Staff, Planning and Zoning Commissioners, and the Board 
of Supervisors. We will try to attend the public hearing and we appreciate your consideration to deny 
this Rezone.

Case Number / Project Name 
DMP2021001 / Z2021050 
Planning & Zoning 
Commission Hearing Date 
November 4, 2021 
Reason for the Appeal of the 
Subject Case 
For some reason, the Zoning and Planning Commission ignored 
the important safety issues raised by home-owners at the 
Commission meeting held on November 4, 2021. It appeared 
that the majority of the commissioners had pre-determined their 
decision to rule in favor of the re-zoning request. The 
commissioners referenced what they perceived as an effort by 
the applicants to address safety concerns raise at the meeting. 
This is troubling because in reality there were no such efforts by 
the applicants at all.  
 
 
1. In 2018, It was established by the Zoning and Planning 
Commission that the Phase 3 development had to be consistent 
with Phase 1. The applicants for the rezoning request are asking 
for an increase of almost 100 % of the number of homes that 
Phase 3 was originally zoned for, from approximately 390 homes

to 770 homes. No matter how you dress it up, by doubling the 
number of homes in Phase 3 the result will be as follows: 
The homes are going to be significantly smaller than those in 
Phase 1, the width of the lots in Phase 3 will be significantly 
narrower, the homes in Phase 3 are going to be closer together, 
and there will be a large number of multiple story homes as 
opposed to the single story homes in Phase 1. 
 
Thus, the Phase 3 neighborhood is going to have a look and feel 
that is nothing like the surrounding areas of Phase 1. It would be 
impossible to argue that Phase 3 will be consistent with Phase 1. 
 
2. Traffic Safety and Emergency Access. 
Traffic safety. By doubling the number of homes in Phase 3, 
there will be twice the number of vehicles requiring ingress and 
egress. There will certainly be an increase in vehicular traffic that 
empties onto 181st from N. White Tank Mountain Blvd. 
 
There is already a bottleneck during commute and school time 
hours at (and near) the corner of 181st and Sheldon. This road 
has three lanes, and parents use the middle lane for parking, 
dropping off kids, waiting for children to get off the school bus, 
etc. Adding vehicles to 181st from White Tank Mountain Blvd will 
add to congestion issues and will present additional safety issues 
for kids crossing streets, none of which have traffic control 
devices such as traffic lights or even cross walks. White Tank 
Mountain Blvd is wider and is not an appropriate feeder street to 
181st, even if the proposed connector road (West Royal Palm) 
from White Tank Mountain Blvd to Citrus is constructed. 
 
The applicants point to a traffic survey that was conducted in 
2001, prior to the commencement of the White Tank Foothills 
development. The only other traffic survey that "may have been 
done" was a remake of the original survey that looked only at 
traffic flow outside of the White Tank Foothills development, and 
did not look at all at the traffic issues within the development.  
 
Despite the spurious claim that the 2001 traffic study somehow 
addressed the issue of increased internal traffic flow, which 
poses a very real danger to school children, this issue was swept 
under the carpet and ignored at the Commission meeting.  
 
Failure to address Emergency Access and evacuation issues. 
The apllicants for the re-zoning request filed a zoning plan for

Phase 3. A quick review of this plan, would show that there is 
little, if any, emergency access to Phase 3. There are are 770 
homes squeezed into a small, confined area, with very limited 
access in the case of fire or police emergencies. It is possible 
that the limited ingress and egress, and bottle-necks bulit into the 
design plan, would not allow any response, much less rapid 
response, by emergency responders and could result in 
disastrous consequences.  
 
We are asking that an additional access street from White Tank 
Mountain Blvd (south) to Northern be added, for the purpose of 
alleviating congestion (if any increase in the density of homes in 
Phase 3 is approved) and to provide an exit for residents and an 
access for Police or Fire vehicles to the Phase 3 area should 
there be an emergency. The Phase 3 neighborhood is isolated 
as far as egress and ingress. In the case of a possible fire or 
other emergency, (without an access to Northern) it could 
become nearly impossible for emergency vehicles to get to the 
scene of a fire, especially in the southwest or northwest corners 
of the development. Likewise, the inability of residents to 
evacuate could make such situation extremely dangerous. 
 
Requested findings on Appeal: We are asking that the rezoning 
request to increase the number of homes to 770 be denied 
based on Safety concerns. Further, we request that any increase 
to the number of homes allowed in Phase 3, require that access 
roads to Northern Ave, as well as Citrus Road be included in the 
plan. We respectfully request that these issues be referred to the 
Maricopa County Supervisors for further consideration. 
 
Thank You.

Subject: OPPOSITION to DMP2021001 & Z2021050 - White Tank Foothills Ph. 3 
 
Maricopa County, We are appealing the Planning and Zoning Department's decision to 
move forward with this Rezone. We are opposed to this Rezoning Request for the following 
reasons:     - The proposed Rezone will almost double the approved density from 390 homes 
to 770 homes. This is inconsistent with the currently 2013 approved zoning for WTF Phase 
3.     - Approving this Rezone will disrupt the transition of density from the larger (1-acre+) 
lots on Northern to the 75-foot wide R1-8 and 65-foot wide R1-7 lots approaching Seldon 
to the north.     - White Tank Foothills is unique with mid-size lots offering room for private 
yard space, pools, and other amenities. We are not a high-density community like Marley 
Park or Verrado with small lots and community club-style amenities.     - This density is much 
too high for our neighborhood and was not part of the neighborhood plan when we built 
our homes. This REZONE would ruin the character of our community (and that character is a 
reason we bought a home here) by allowing high-density small lots, smaller homes, two-
story homes, and more traffic along with important related safety issues and concerns. 
These can all be prevented by DENYING this REZONE that would allow much higher density 
with 770 homes rather than 390--a 98% increase in density. Please share our appeal and 
opposition to this Rezone with your team, including County Staff, Planning and Zoning 
Commissioners, and the Board of Supervisors. We appreciate your consideration to deny 
this Rezone. Sincerely,  
Al & Christine Tielke

I feel there was not enough consideration of the homeowners 
and the concerns we presented. It really appeared it was a 
done deal even before we spoke by some of the comments a 
couple Commissioners made. I believe the BOS will be more 
receptive about the voters concerns since they are elected 
verses the P&Z being appointed.

Reason for the Appeal of 
the Subject Case 
This appeal must be approved. If this project goes forward, 
many people will be crammed into a small living area, causing 
harm to the environment and jeopardizing the safety of 
motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians and horseback riders because 
of the increased traffic congestion. It's ridiculous to build so 
many homes in such a small area. Anyone who has been 
paying attention to development in the valley knows that this 
move is just for the sake of builders and developers trying to 
make more money by building more homes and also increased 
revenue for the county; more homes equals more property tax 
revenue. Please consider the damage you will be doing to this 
community if this mega mini house community is constructed. 
Thank you.

White Tank Foothills Phase 3 
Planning & Zoning 
Commission Hearing Date 
11/4/2021 
Reason for the Appeal of 
the Subject Case 
I strongly oppose of the rezone of The White Tank Foothills 
("WTF") Phase 3 subdivision. And beg you to strongly consider 
making changes to this rezone. 
 
WTF currently consist of 991 developed lots. Lot sizes range in 
size from 50'-80' wide. There are 419-50' wide lots, 191-60' 
wide lots, 106-65' wide lots, 167-70' wide lots, 83-75' wide lots 
and 25-80' wide lots. Average lot width is 60' wide throughout 
the WTF. 
 
Phase 3 will primarily consists of 45' and 50' wide lots. The 45' 
wide lots are smaller than any other existing lots in the WTF. 
As you can see by the facts above, the WTF already has its fair 
share of 50' wide lots. Phase 3 was intended to balance the 
WTF by adding more 60'-80' wide lots. If the rezone is allowed,

not only will the WTF have lots smaller than ever before, we 
will have far too many lots in our development 1764 (propose) 
vs 1286 (originally planned). I ask that you decline this 
rezoning and require the developer to balance the WTF by 
keeping with the larger lots in Phase 3 to match the 
consistency of the surrounding 60'-80' wide lots that are closest 
to Phase 3. 
 
I don't have an issue with increasing the lot count slightly in 
Phase 3 but I ask that the lot sizing range from 60'-80' wide. 
Please do allow any lots less than 60' wide. 
 
All homes south of Sedlon Lane, west of Citrus Road are 
currently single story homes. It was designed this way to 
preserve the views of the White Tank Mountains. I ask that you 
permit the construction of only single story homes in Phase 3. 
And decline any two story homes in Phase 3. This requirement 
will maintain the consistency of the surrounding homes closest 
to Phase 3, which are parcels 9 and 10.

The housing change that they are proposing is double the

and is old enough to not take into account the housing boom 
that we are experiences. The homes in the surrounding 
community are larger homes on larger lots these homes will not 
fit in with existing development. they do not want a exit from the 
new community to Northern and all access to south bound 303 
is through northern and that road would be heavily taxed to 
handle all of the traffic with 4 way stops.
