City of Chandler 
Planning and Zoning Commission 
215 E. Buffalo St., Chandler, AZ 85225 
 
To Whom It May Concern: 
I am writing this to assert my dissent for any re-zoning of Tremaine Park properties. 
Arizona Ave & Guadalupe Rd 
Case #: 
PLH25-0006 
Location:  NORTH OF THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF ARIZONA AVE & CONSOLIDATED CANAL 
Request:  Rezone from AG-1 to PAD for SF-33 zoning designations and preliminary development plan for site layout for 6 
homes 
 
First, I am opposed to any re-zoning request by a party that has proclaimed no intention to build. 
This was done publicly by Mr. Babcock at the community meeting which was attended by 
Chandler City Planning and Rezoning members on 4/22/2026. This means that issues with 
development and future re-zoning concerns could arise when re-zoning occurs without 
development. The city’s zoning process should approve changes when there is a concrete 
development proposal so that necessary mitigations and conditions can be imposed; approving 
speculative rezoning simply to increase land marketability shifts the burden of future impacts 
onto residents and reduces the city’s ability to negotiate protections. 
Second, I am opposed to any residents re-zoning to build in any way that exceeds current 
setbacks. Any building that has taken place since the Tremaine Park incorporation with the City 
of Chandler meets present AG-1 governance and restrictions. Residents have complied to these 
restrictions. Re-zoning is unacceptable and should not be considered for any entity that does not 
reside within the community. 
Please give serious consideration to the wishes of a long-time resident: I have lived in Tremaine 
Park for more than 10 years and have been a tax-paying, voting Chandler resident for over 22 
years. I respectfully submit that individuals who do not reside or vote in Chandler should not be 
allowed to unilaterally reshape the character of a residential neighborhood. I implore the city to 
deny speculative rezoning and to approve zoning changes only when they are tied to a concrete 
development proposal so the city and neighbors can fully evaluate and mitigate real impacts. 
Thank you for representing your citizens. 
Sincerely, 
Robin Anderton
