Dear Planning Commission Members,
I’m writing in strong support of Zoning Case Z-31-25-8, a project that brings much-needed 
housing diversity to the South Mountain Village. Rezoning from S-1 to R-3A will allow for a 
thoughtfully designed, medium-density residential development that aligns with the city’s long-
term goals and responds to our region’s housing shortage.
I disagree with the South Mountain Village Planning Committee’s decision to deny this project due 
to the overall density. This project is unique and provides a new type of housing for the area. 
Providing more options for families and individuals who rent near jobs, schools, and nature is 
critical to addressing the needs of Phoenix residents.
As Phoenix works to ensure that home is where it all starts for every resident, projects like this are 
essential. I respectfully urge you to recommend approval.
Sincerely,
Tom Kelly

City of Phoenix Planning Commission and City Council,  
 
I write to you as the owner of approximately 0.4 acres of commercial 
property on the northeast side of Broadway Rd at 24th St urging you 
to support the rezoning of land with Z-31-25-8 and GPA SM 1-25-8-
VPC.  
 
The builder has a plan that will integrate very well into the 
surrounding community. Taylor Morrison is a reputable nationwide 
home builder who plans to bring a much-needed varied housing 
product to the area with quality finishes and amenities.  
 
I urge you to please support this project.
