Discussion
JULIETTE SPENCE, Chandler, AZ, Spoke on Item 9. Ms. Spence shared that she is a Chandler
resident. She expressed that she’s glad to be part of the community. She chose to make her home
in Pueblo Viejo, which is the oldest part of town. As a result, the lots and homes in that
neighborhood are small, something typical of older areas. Ms. Spence emphasized that she is not
questioning any of the decisions made by those involved in bringing forward Item 9, the proposed
California duplex. She believes that everyone, both past and present, has followed the law and
city codes, which, is not the issue. She also understands why many codes have been updated,
including those required at the city level. Ms. Spence shared that she spent the past few weeks
contacting her state legislators. She did research to figure out the best way to reach them and
made calls to share her views on recently passed middle housing legislation. In addition, she
attended a Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, as well as previous City Council meetings,
to gain a better understanding of how they operate and how consent agenda items are handled.
She stated that she fully supports the need for new housing and code updates. Her main point
was to bring attention back to Pueblo Viejo a neighborhood with deep history and character. She
closed by mentioning that just the night before, she passed a brand-new mural that read “Pueblo
Viejo,”.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked Ms. Spence if she could summarize her issue in one sentence.
Page 8 of 13
MS. SPENCE said that Pueblo Viejo is at risk of losing its unique character due to gentrification if
two-story or larger duplexes continue to be allowed, especially in a neighborhood like Pueblo.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO asked staff to explain what can and cannot be done in that part of
town, noting that some issues are beyond the city’s control. He said Ms. Spence and the
community deserve a clear answer for the record.
JOSHUA WRIGHT, City Manager, said staff would reach out and provide a response.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO indicated that he would appreciate receiving comments promptly.
He urged staff to explain to Ms. Spence why the city is required to allow this type of property in
that area.
MR. WRIGHT said Mr. Mayo would address the question.
KEVIN MAYO, Planning Administrator, commended Ms. Spence for being well-informed. He
explained that the California duplex request involves only two minor exceptions to current zoning:
a reduced front yard setback and a slight increase in lot coverage. The rest complies with existing
rules. Mr. Mayo clarified that a new state law requires the city to permit a broader range of housing
types, including up to fourplexes, in the downtown area and nearby neighborhoods. The city is
working on a code update to reflect this, which will be presented later this year. This law limits the
city’s ability to set setbacks or restrict building height, allowing buildings to be up to three stories
high. The current request aligns with existing rules, but upcoming changes will further expand
housing options.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO said he appreciated the clarification and emphasized the goal of
encouraging more for-sale homes in the area. He asked whether the proposed homes would be
rentals or sold to family members.
MR. MAYO said that the owner has not yet decided whether the units will be kept for immediate
family or if one or both will be rented out.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO said rentals are needed but emphasized that this area is better
suited for for-sale homes. He noted ongoing efforts by Councilmember Poston and staff to
develop a housing plan focused on middle-level housing.
COUNCILMEMBER ENCINAS said residents are mainly concerned about the height of the proposed
project, not the lot coverage. He asked if upcoming state code changes or current regulations
could address those concerns, particularly regarding privacy and the building's height being taller
than that of others in the neighborhood.
MR. MAYO said the proposed duplex is two stories, while most homes in the area are single-story.
He said reducing the height is difficult due to fixed factors, such as grading, floor height, and roof
Page 9 of 13
pitch. Even with adjustments, only about 18 inches could be reduced, which wouldn't significantly
address visibility concerns. He noted that the main issue is the second-floor windows. Regarding
the new state law, he stated that it preempts cities from setting stricter height limits for one- to
four-unit housing, so the city won't be able to impose lower height caps beyond what is allowed
in the current MF-2 zoning, which permits up to 45 feet.
COUNCILMEMBER ENCINAS asked for clarification, confirming that the current zoning allows for
a maximum height of 45 feet.
MR. MAYO clarified that the current zoning for the site allows for a height of up to 45 feet. While
that isn't realistic for a single-family lot, he noted that if someone were to combine multiple lots,
such as six, eight, or ten, they could build a taller multi-family development by right under the
existing zoning.
COUNCILMEMBER ENCINAS asked if the height of this specific project was known.
MR. MAYO said the height of the project is approximately in the mid-20s in feet, though he did not
have the exact number, and confirmed it is a two-story structure.
COUNCILMEMBER ENCINAS said the building is 28 and a half feet tall.
MR. MAYO confirmed the height is in the upper 20s.
COUNCILMEMBER ENCINAS said it was mentioned that the only possible height reduction would
be approximately 18 inches.
MR. MAYO said while it's possible to reduce the height by about 18 inches by lowering ceiling
heights and adjusting the roof pitch, it wouldn't significantly affect the placement of second-floor
windows. Since the main concern is visibility into neighboring backyards, these minor changes
wouldn’t make a meaningful difference.
COUNCILMEMBER ENCINAS asked if there was community input.
MR. MAYO said that the information is included in the public neighborhood notification memo.
MAYOR HARTKE asked Council if they were close to voting on the item or preferred to move it to
an action item. He requested input from the City Attorney, noting that items are typically handled
through a single consent vote without discussion. However, if a significant conversation was still
needed, he suggested it would be more appropriate to move the item to action rather than
continue as is.
KELLY SCHWAB, City Attorney, agreed.
Page 10 of 13
MAYOR HARTKE said if further discussion is needed, a motion should be made to address the item
separately.
VICE MAYOR ELLIS said that when the project was first presented to her, she asked whether the
architectural design could address privacy concerns by avoiding windows that overlook
neighboring backyards. She noted she wasn't sure if the applicants had taken that feedback into
account, as she had sent that message previously.
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS asked that the item be moved to an action item.
Item 9, Motion and Vote
Councilmember Harris moved to move Item 9, Introduction and Tentative Adoption of Ordinance
No. 5131, Rezoning and Preliminary Development Plan, PLH24-0035 California Duplex, Generally
Located 1/2 mile South of the Southwest Corner of Chandler Boulevard and Arizona Avenue, to
the Action Agenda; Seconded by Councilmember Poston.
Motion carried unanimously (7-0).
Item 9, Action Agenda Motion and Vote
COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS asked for a 30 day continuance of the item.
MS. SCHWAB requested the motion be reworded to be for the next set Council meeting date.
Councilmember Harris moved for Item 9, Introduction and Tentative Adoption of Ordinance No.
5131, Rezoning and Preliminary Development Plan, PLH24-0035 California Duplex, Generally
Located 1/2 mile South of the Southwest Corner of Chandler Boulevard and Arizona Avenue to be
continued to the regular City Council meeting scheduled for July 17, 2025; Seconded by
Councilmember Encinas.

Council Discussion
MAYOR HARTKE asked to revisit the slide showing the tax dollar breakdown for Chandler and the
other two jurisdictions. He asked if there were any changes from previous years for Maricopa
County and the public schools, whether the figures were final, and if there was any information
on the two jurisdictions shown on the left side of the slide.
MS. DLOTT said the slide reflects only the changes available so far, and they do not yet have all
the updated figures for the school districts and the county.
MAYOR HARTKE asked when the updated information would be available.
DAWN LANG, Deputy City Manager/CFO, said she would need to follow up with the information,
as she did not recall the date.
MAYOR HARTKE said that the information should be available by the end of the month, within the
next couple of weeks.
MS. LANG said they should have it by then.
MAYOR HARTKE asked to be informed if there are any changes with the other two jurisdictions.
MS. LANG said we can do that.
Page 13 of 13
MAYOR HARTKE said he would be interested in seeing what’s happening in other taxing
jurisdictions that affect property taxes. He acknowledged that while the city works hard to keep
its rates stable, fluctuations in property values occur, and he is curious about the broader impacts.

Unscheduled Public Appearances
BROOK W. BEALL, 85 W. Teakwood Pl., Chandler, AZ. Mr. Beall requested that either the Police
Department or the City Attorney provide a clear overview of the lawful and unlawful operation of
e-bikes within Chandler city limits and on city-owned property. He asked for details about what’s
allowed on sidewalks, crosswalks, streets, parks, trails, and other public spaces. Specifically, he
wanted to know if there are speed limits for riding on sidewalks, whether riders can go as fast as
65 miles per hour, are limited to the street speed limit, or have lower limits, such as 15 or 5 miles
per hour. He emphasized the need for a comprehensive explanation of e-bike rules to avoid
confusion, noting that neither the audience nor the Council currently fully understands these laws.
He stressed that clear guidelines are necessary so everyone knows what is and isn’t allowed when
riding e-bikes in Chandler.
