ADDENDUM A
Staff Report: Z-74-24-6
October 10, 2024
Camelback East Village Planning
Committee Meeting Date:
August 6, 2024
Planning Commission Hearing Date:
October 10, 2024
Request From:
R-3 (Multifamily Residence District) (1.82
acres)
Request To:
R-5 (Multifamily Residence District) (1.82
acres)
Proposal:
Multifamily residential
Location:
Northeast corner of 21st Street and
Turney Avenue
Owner:
4401 Turney Villas, LLC
Applicant/Representative:
Ashley Marsh, Gammage & Burnham,
PLC
Staff Recommendation:
Approval, subject to stipulations
The purpose of this addendum is to revise the site plan and elevations on file to reflect
updated documents submitted by the applicant.
The request is to rezone 1.82 acres located on the northeast corner of 21st Street and
Turney Avenue from R-3 (Multifamily Residence District) to R-5 (Multifamily Residence
District) for multifamily residential.
The Camelback East Village Planning Committee heard this case on August 6, 2024, and a
motion for approval failed with a 7-9 vote. Therefore, no recommendation was forwarded to
the Planning Commission.
On October 3, 2024 the applicant submitted a revised site plan and elevations. The revised
site plan depicts a reduction in the number of units from 75 to 64. The revised elevations
depict a reduction in building height along the Turney Avenue and 21st Street frontages
from four stories (48 feet) to three stories (approximately 38 feet). The applicant reduced
the number of units and the building height in response to community concerns regarding
compatibility with the surrounding area. Staff recommends additional stipulations to ensure
compliance with the reduced number of units and building height (see new Stipulation Nos.1
and 2).
Additional correspondence received after the publication of the staff report is also attached
to this addendum.
Staff recommends approval, per the modified stipulations in bold font below:

Give definition of uncertainty that develops in a neighborhood when high density rezoning is intoducted
Uncertainty in a neighborhood following high-density rezoning refers to the anxiety, unpredictability,
and concerns among residents, property owners, and stakeholders about the future of the area. This
uncertainty often stems from various factors, such as:
1. **Changes in Property Values:** Residents may be unsure whether property values will rise or fall
due to the new zoning rules, affecting their investments.
2. **Impact on Community Character:** People may worry about how the introduction of higher-
density buildings (e.g., apartments, condos) will alter the neighborhood's aesthetic, social, and cultural
atmosphere.
3. **Traffic and Infrastructure Concerns:** Higher density often brings more people, which can strain
existing roads, public services, schools, and utilities, causing apprehension about congestion or overuse
of infrastructure.
4. **Housing Market Shifts:** There may be concern over whether the rezoning will lead to a more
affordable or less affordable housing market, influencing who can afford to live in the area.
5. **Unpredictable Development Timeline:** Residents may be unsure when and how quickly new
developments will take place, disrupting the current way of life or bringing about sudden changes.
This collective uncertainty can create tension, resistance, or even conflict within the community as
different stakeholders react to the potential impacts of the rezoning.

ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerStart
TELEIA:
PLEASE PLACE THIS IN THE FILE GOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEMBERS
Rezoning a property from a medium-density multifamily residential district to R5 (high-density residential district) can
bring several changes to a neighborhood. Here are the key potential impacts on the certainty and character of the area:
### 1. **Increased Density and Population**
- **Impact**: R5 zoning allows for taller and larger buildings, which can accommodate more units and increase the
population density of the area.
- **Neighborhood Character**: The influx of more residents could lead to a busier, more urban feel in what might
have been a quieter or less densely populated neighborhood.
### 2. **Change in Building Size and Aesthetics**
- **Impact**: R5 zoning typically permits larger buildings, which could lead to taller apartment complexes or multi-
story residential buildings.
- **Neighborhood Character**: This may disrupt the architectural harmony of the neighborhood, especially if
surrounding properties are primarily smaller, single-family homes or lower-rise buildings.
### 3. **Traffic and Parking**
- **Impact**: Higher-density residential areas often bring more vehicles, which could increase traffic congestion and
the demand for parking.
- **Neighborhood Character**: Residents may experience increased noise, parking shortages, and overall street
congestion, which could reduce the quality of life for long-time residents.
### 4. **Public Services and Infrastructure**
- **Impact**: Increased population density will put more pressure on public services, such as schools, public
transportation, water, and sewer systems. The neighborhood might see upgrades to these services, but there may also
be growing pains during the transition.
- **Neighborhood Character**: The strain on services could affect the experience of current residents, but
improvements could attract more amenities and infrastructure upgrades.
### 5. **Property Values**
- **Impact**: Rezoning to a high-density residential district can increase property values due to the potential for
redevelopment, but it can also make properties more expensive, which might push out long-term residents.
- **Neighborhood Character**: This could lead to gentrification, changing the socio-economic makeup of the area and
potentially altering the neighborhood’s culture and identity.
2
### 6. **Commercial Development**
- **Impact**: High-density zones sometimes encourage nearby commercial developments to support the growing
population, leading to the opening of new businesses like shops, restaurants, and services.
- **Neighborhood Character**: This could make the area more vibrant and convenient, but it might also shift the
neighborhood from a residential to a more mixed-use environment.
### 7. **Social and Community Impact**
- **Impact**: Higher-density developments can change the social fabric of the neighborhood, with less familiarity
among neighbors due to an increase in transient or short-term residents.
- **Neighborhood Character**: Long-standing community bonds could be weakened as a result of more turnover and
less cohesion.
### 8. **Environmental Impact**
- **Impact**: More development may reduce green spaces, while also potentially increasing waste, noise pollution,
and reducing air quality.
- **Neighborhood Character**: A reduction in open space and greenery could detract from the neighborhood’s charm
and sense of tranquility.
Rezoning a property to R5 may bring growth and economic benefits, but it will also inevitably change the landscape and
lifestyle of the neighborhood. Understanding these factors can help residents and policymakers weigh the potential
benefits and drawbacks.

THIS LETTER WILL BE SENT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL TO SHOW THE
CONERNS WITH THE COMPROMISE
The community's feedback regarding rezoning case # Z-74-24 – Turney Villas, located at the northeast corner of
Turney Avenue and 21st was not fully addressed by the development team. (Senior Land Use Planner
Gammage & Burnham). Despite our concerns, the changes made were minimal and did not align with our preferences:
1. We are not in favor of a large apartment complex in our neighborhood.
2. We would prefer a development that consists of owner-occupied units, which we believe would contribute to
increased property values.
3. The proximity of the property to the road, specifically 20 feet from Turney, creates a canyon effect that we find
undesirable.
The revised proposal, which includes reducing the building's height along Turney Ave and 21st St to 3 stories, is not
considered acceptable. We believe that maintaining a similar height to the two-story buildings across the street,
particularly on the south side of Turney, would be more appropriate. The reduction of 15% in the number of units, from
75 to 64, can be accomplished within the parameters of R3A zoning at a lower height.
We are aware that the Planning Commission is scheduled to review this case with the proposed revisions on Thursday,
October 10th, 2024, at 6 pm, under Item number 5. We would like to express that the current proposal does not reflect a
genuine compromise and may be perceived as an attempt to increase the property's value for future sale. If the intention
is to complete the project, we believe that a lower zoning designation could still facilitate development.
Granting approval for high density and height may set a precedent that could be attractive to developers eyeing
properties further south on 21st Street. We hope that our concerns are taken into consideration during the review
process.

They tried but really didn't give back much - Height - Density - Traffic are still a problem. I still want the R3 which is
doable but the developer is either greedy or want to resale once zoning is granted.
We have to make it very clear that if this go to city council we’ll force a 3/4 vote and they will get nothing.
Melessia is right about the traffic add to the nightmare at 20th Street and problem with the school children.
Height is still a problem because it will set a president all along 21st Street.
We don’t need a large apartment complex in our neighborhood - we could live with owner occupied at a longrt
density.

Please Distribute to Planning Commission
Rebuttal to Staff Report Z-74-24-6
East Village Planning Committee
Date: August 6, 2024
Phoenix Planning Commission Hearing
Date: September 5, 2024
Request From: R-3 (Multifamily Residence) (1.82 acres)
Request To: R-5 (Multifamily Residence) (1.82 acres)
Proposal: Multifamily Apartments
Location: Northeast corner of 21st Street and Turney Ave
Applicant Representative: Ashley Marsh, Gammage & Burnham, PLC
Staff Recommendation:
John Roanhorse's Statement:
"Create new development or redevelopment sensitive to the surrounding neighborhoods' scale and
character and incorporate adequate development standards to prevent negative impact(s) on
residential properties."
Rebuttal:
The proposed development is out of character with our neighborhood, which currently does not have
any four-story apartment complexes south of Campbell Road. Allowing such a tall structure would set
a precedent that is inconsistent with the existing urban landscape and community makeup.
Zoning Integrity
John Roanhorse's Statement:
"The proposal, as stipulated, will allow new residential development in a neighborhood with a range of
existing residential use types. As stipulated, the proposal will provide a large building setback along the
north property lines to buffer the use from the single-family residences to the north."
Rebuttal:
The proposed transition from R-3 to R-5 zoning represents a substantial increase in building height and
density. Such a transition risks disrupting the balance and integrity of our neighborhood, altering its
character in ways that are inconsistent with the existing urban fabric.
Compatibility with Neighborhood
John Roanhorse's Statement:
"The proposal is a compatible use of equal size and type in the surrounding neighborhood. The proposal
will also complement the area by providing a range of housing types by the Housing Phoenix Plan."
Rebuttal:
2
While there are apartment complexes zoned R-5 in our neighborhood, they are not four stories high
and have significant setbacks from the street and surrounding neighbors. This approach ensures
compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood and maintains the established character of the area.
The proposed zoning change represents an excessive increase in density that undermines the
suburban nature of our community and threatens to alter its character permanently.
Streetscape and Design Standards
John Roanhorse's Statement:
"The proposal, as stipulated, incorporates streetscape and design standards to promote a pedestrian-
friendly environment along 21st Street and Turney that is compatible with the surrounding residential
development."
Rebuttal:
The proposed development introduces a four-story apartment complex south of Campbell Road, a
significant departure from the existing character of our neighborhood. The tallest structures in the area
are well below this height and are set back significantly from the street and neighboring properties. The
transition from R-3 to R-5 zoning introduces an excessive increase in density, which is inconsistent with
the neighborhood's character and could have a lasting negative impact.
BACKGROUND/ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Subject Site:
John Roanhorse's Statement:
"The request is to rezone 1.82 acres located at the corner of 21st Street and Turney, from R-3 to R-5
for multifamily residential development."
Rebuttal:
The property owner prefers a development plan that prioritizes owner-occupied residences. The
surrounding neighborhood includes townhomes to the south and east, with owner-occupied units
extending to Campbell Avenue. This approach aims to create a cohesive community with long-term
residents, fostering greater stability and investment in the neighborhood.
Surrounding Land Uses and Zoning:
John Roanhorse's Statement:
"There are single-family and multifamily residences to the north zoned R-3 and to the south, across
Turney Avenue, is a multifamily development zoned R-5. To the west, across 21st Street, is a
multifamily residential development zoned R-5."
Rebuttal:
Most of the properties are owner-occupied, and the R-5 zoning for the existing developments resulted
from compromises with the city. For example, the R-5 zoning to the west was granted as part of a
compromise after the corner of 20th Street and Campbell was rezoned to Mid-Rise in 1978. The R-5
development is set back 30 feet with parking in the front, which reduces the impact of the three-story
buildings.
Similarly, the small R-5 parcel to the south was part of a compromise with the city and a developer who
initially sought to build 216 units on the entire block. Zoning case 104-96-6 was approved, resulting in
downzoning the parcel to R-2 for 65 townhomes to act as a buffer between the R-5 development and
the neighborhood. It was stipulated that two-story units would be constructed along the perimeter, down
Turney Avenue and south on 21st Street, with a small section of three-story units in the center.
General Plan Land Use Map:
John Roanhorse's Statement:
"The General Plan Land Use Map depicts the site and the properties to the north, south, and east with
a designation of Residential 10 to 15 dwellings units per acre. The request to rezone the site to R-5 is
3
not consistent with the General Plan and Land Use Map; however, a General Plan Amendment is not
required as the site is under 10 acres."
Rebuttal:
When developing vacant or underdeveloped land in older parts of the city, it’s crucial to ensure that the
proposed development is compatible with existing development in the area and aligns with long-term
goals. Encouraging reasonable levels of increased intensity in development while respecting local
conditions and surrounding neighborhoods is key.
Proposal:
Site Plan Overview:
John Roanhorse's Statement:
"The site plan proposes a 75-unit multifamily residential development with an outdoor amenity area, a
pool, a clubhouse, and a gym. The plan includes 96 parking spaces located along the northern sides q
the building, secure bicycle parking within the residential building, and the northeast parking lot. Full
driveway access to the parking lots will be from 21st Street and Turney Avenue. Landscaping along
the northern property line will feature trees and shrubs to provide additional buffering along the property
perimeter. A detached sidewalk along Turney and an attached sidewalk along 21st Street will provide
pedestrian connections to the adjacent residential developments in the area. The sidewalks will include
trees for shade coverage. However, due to the need to seek variances for the patio projections within
the building, landscape setbacks along 21st and Turney Avenue, and a reduction in parking, the staff
does not recommend general conformance to the site plan."
Rebuttal:
It’s important to consider the following information regarding the 75-unit multifamily apartment
development: The inclusion of amenities such as the pool, clubhouse, gym, 96 parking spaces (ideally
150 spaces), bicycle parking, landscaping, and sidewalk contributes to the overall cost of the project.
The developer is advocating for the property owner to potentially reconsider the value of their property,
expressing concerns that adding apartments to the neighborhood may hurt property values and the
neighborhood's well-being, potentially resulting in increased profits for the developer.
However, due to the necessary variances for patio projections within the building, landscape setbacks
along 21st and Turney Avenue, and a reduction in parking, the staff does not recommend general
conformance to the site plan.
Findings:
John Roanhorse's Statement:
"The proposal is appropriate at this location and is consistent with the scale and existing area. The
proposal, as stipulated, will incorporate landscaping shading that will enhance the location, consistent
with General Plan goals and principles. The proposal will create additional housing options in line with
the Housing Phoenix Plan’s goal of preserving or creating 50,000 housing units by 2030."
Rebuttal:
The proposal is not suitable for this location because the closest four-story structure is located half a
mile away on 20th Street and Highland. The R-5 zoning was granted through a compromise, and the
stipulated landscaping and shading won't be binding after the rezoning is approved. The Housing
Phoenix Plan goal is 88% satisfied and should not be a factor in this rezoning.
Conclusion:
This project to rezone a parcel in a residential neighborhood, which will negatively impact the property
owner, should be handled neutrally. The role of the city planner should be to provide a report of the
project strictly based on the zoning ordinances.
This staff report favors the application in tone and presentation, which is not the staff member's job.
The merits of the rezoning should be presented by the lawyers, not the city staff. When entering an
4
established residential neighborhood and requesting rezoning from R-3 to R-5, it’s essentially asking
the property owners to devalue their property to cover the costs of the proposed apartment complex.
This parcel could be developed under the current R-3 zoning, which would:
Provide the city with the units for the Housing Plan for 2030.
Ensure the developers achieve a profit on their investment.
Deliver a project compatible with the existing neighborhood.
Reduce traffic in the neighborhood.
Provide neighborhood sidewalks and landscaping.

RE: Rezoning Case: Z 74-24-6
I respectfully request you deny the rezoning application of case #Z 74-24-6 for the following reasons.
x
Zoning - the transition from R-2 to R-5 will set the precedent for other developers to request rezoning
for other smaller apartment complexes along 21st Street between Glenrosa and Campbell.
x
Utilities – The existing water and sewer pipelines from the 1950s supplying Turney Ave between 21st
and 22nd streets are inadequate to accommodate the excessive burden of another 75 residences above
the current utility loading.
x
Privacy – the loss of existing views from neighboring properties will be adversely affected by the height
of the development and will allow direct view into many homes and backyards.
x
Visual impact - The rendering shows the building pushed out to the corner of 21st Street and Turney
which will create a canyon effect at the corner.
x
Height Discrepancy - The proposed 4 story development is exceedingly high, out-of-scale and out of
character in terms of its appearance compared with existing developments in the vicinity.
x
Increased traffic and street parking - Our local streets are narrow and cannot be safely driven when
cars are parked on both sides of Turney Ave. Adding another 100+ vehicles will disrupt local traffic, and
will negatively affect Madison Camelview school ingress / egress when in session. The parking lot of
the proposed property will almost certainly be unable to accommodate the large number of tenant
vehicles; considering most residents will have roommates and multiple cars per unit.

I am requesting you to deny the rezoning application of case #Z 74-24-6 for the following

of vehicles will not only disrupt our neighborhood but also pose safety risks especially
when Madison Camelview Elementary School is in session. Additionally, the parking lot

Dear John,
I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed zoning density increase that would
allow the construction of a four-story apartment complex in our neighborhood located at 4405 N
21st St, Phoenix, AZ 85016. This development raises several critical concerns that I believe
will adversely affect the character and quality of life in our community.
Privacy Concerns
The proposed four-story apartment complex will significantly invade our neighborhood's privacy.
The height of the building will allow direct views into many of our homes, backyards, and rooftop
decks, compromising the privacy that families in our community value and deserve.
Increased Traffic and Street Parking
The development of a high-density apartment complex will lead to a considerable increase in
traffic on our quiet residential streets. This influx of vehicles will not only disrupt the tranquility of
our neighborhood but also pose safety risks and elevate noise levels, impacting the quality of
life for all residents, especially when Madison Camelview Elementary School is in session.
Additionally, the parking lot of the property will almost certainly be unable to accommodate the
large number of units proposed, especially considering most residents will have roommates and
multiple cars.
Height Discrepancy
The proposed development is out of character with our neighborhood, which currently does not
have any four-story apartment complexes south of Campbell Rd that are not on a major road
like Indian School. Allowing such a tall structure would set a precedent that is inconsistent with
the existing urban landscape and makeup of our community.
Zoning Integrity
While there are apartment complexes zoned R-5 in our neighborhood, they are not four stories
high and they have significant setbacks from the street and surrounding neighbors, which fits
within the neighborhood. The transition from R-2 to R-5 zoning represents an excessive

Hi John,
I sent you one of the drafts that I created for the opposition letter on accident. Attached is the final version I would like
to be added to the case file. Below is my original email as well. Please confirm receipt of this email. - Thank you!
Thanks for returning my call earlier, I appreciate your time. As mentioned, I attended the Village Planning Committee
meeting for Camelback East last night and spoke in opposition to the project located at 4405 N 21st St, Phoenix, AZ
85016.
I have attached my letter of opposition to the project and kindly request that you distribute it to the members of the
committee.
Additionally, I would like to address concerns regarding the voicemail I left for Rick Kafka. Rick solicited me, asking if
there was anything he could do to help alleviate concerns from our HOA regarding the project. I suggested building a
community center and granting us permanent access to the development's amenities. As my property is directly
adjacent to the project, I am particularly concerned about the potential negative impact on our home values, even more
so than my fellow neighbors due to the proximity of the project. My suggestion was an attempt to proactively offset the
anticipated loss in equity if the project proceeds. If necessary, I can provide voicemails and phone records to
demonstrate that Rick solicited me.
Ultimately, I believe this was not a genuine effort to address our HOA and neighborhood concerns. Instead, I feel it was
an attempt to discredit me, the petition I created, and the legitimate concerns raised by my fellow neighbors and myself.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please confirm receipt of my letter.
Best regards,

meeting for Camelback East last night and spoke in opposition to the project located at 4405 N 21st St, Phoenix, AZ
85016.
I have attached my letter of opposition to the project and kindly request that you distribute it to the members of the
committee.
Additionally, I would like to address concerns regarding the voicemail I left for Rick Kafka. Rick solicited me, asking if
there was anything he could do to help alleviate concerns from our HOA regarding the project. I suggested building a
community center and granting us permanent access to the development's amenities. As my property is directly
adjacent to the project, I am particularly concerned about the potential negative impact on our home values, even
more so than my fellow neighbors due to the proximity of the project. My suggestion was an attempt to proactively
offset the anticipated loss in equity if the project proceeds. If necessary, I can provide voicemails and phone records to
demonstrate that Rick solicited me.
Ultimately, I believe this was not a genuine effort to address our HOA and neighborhood concerns. Instead, I feel it was
an attempt to discredit me, the petition I created, and the legitimate concerns raised by my fellow neighbors and
myself.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please confirm receipt of my letter.
Best regards,
Royden Hudnall
increase in density. Permitting such a drastic change undermines the suburban nature of our
community and threatens to alter its character permanently.
The most dangerous aspect of this proposal is the precedent it will set for other small multifamily
lots located along 21st St and Turney Ave. This precedent will be seen by other developers,
allowing them to assemble a couple of these lots and build 75-100 unit apartment complexes.
This development is 4 feet higher than the next tallest building in the area. What is to stop a
developer from building a structure that is 4 feet higher than this one in the future, possibly even
adding an extra story? This precedent could create a snowball effect, with future projects using
this as precedent to build higher and more dense projects - leading to unreasonable height and
density throughout our neighborhood. I have attached a map of the apartment complexes I
worry could be assembled for similar developments if this project is allowed to move forward.

There are 12 parcels on this map, only two or three of these parcels would need
to be assembled in order to build a similar development as the one proposed at
4405 N 21st St, Phoenix, AZ 85016
City of Phoenix Macro Housing Development Concern
I would like to address the concerns raised by some council members last night regarding the
housing shortage in Phoenix. It is imperative to emphasize that the current need is not for
additional market-rate apartment developments but rather for more affordable housing options. I
further argue that the heart of a residential neighborhood in a middle class area is not the
correct place to put an affordable or government subsidized development and could adversely
affect the community's character and quality of life - even more than this development does.
The City of Phoenix has seen a significant increase in the construction of market-rate multifamily
properties over the last four years. However, despite this boom, there remains a critical shortage
of housing, particularly in affordable homes and workforce housing. According to recent data,
the problem is not a lack of apartment complexes; in fact, vacancy rates in market-rate
apartments have been steadily rising. In Phoenix “occupancy [is] down 80 basis points
year-over-year through March, to 93.1%.” “Yardi Matrix forecasts that Phoenix’s inventory will
grow by 3.3% this year, ranking ninth for projected inventory expansion among the country’s top
30 metros.” (Matrix Phoenix Multifamily Report). The real issue lies in the shortage of affordable
and workforce housing options. These lower rent options are where the gap exists, and this is
where the focus should be.
In the past five years, Phoenix has experienced a significant boom in multifamily development,
adding nearly 14,000 new apartment units in 2023 alone, a 90% increase from the previous
year (RentCafe) (Rose Law Group Reporter). This surge places Phoenix among the top U.S.
cities for new apartment construction, alongside major metros like New York and Miami. Despite
this rapid growth, the city's housing shortage persists, particularly in affordable housing. Arizona
ranks among the five worst states for affordable housing availability, with a critical shortfall for
low-income renters (UMOM). Addressing this issue requires shifting focus from market-rate to
affordable housing developments to meet the actual needs of the population.
The "Matrix Multifamily Phoenix Report" from June 2024 highlights that while Phoenix has
added numerous market-rate units, the occupancy rates in these new developments are
declining, pointing to a surplus in the market-rate segment. “Nearly 92% of the [multifamily
construction] volume underway was in Lifestyle communities, followed by fully affordable assets
(7.0%)” (Matrix Phoenix Multifamily Report). Additionally, according to UMOM, the Phoenix
Metro Area faces a significant shortfall in affordable housing, with a deficit of over 250,000
affordable and available rental homes for low-income renters (UMOM). This underscores the
urgent need to address the affordable housing crisis rather than adding more market-rate units,
which do not meet the current demand for lower-income housing.
Community Petition Against Zoning Density Increase
In response to the proposed zoning density increase, I initiated a community petition to gather
support and express our collective concerns. The petition has garnered 169 signatures from
neighbors and other members of the public who share our apprehensions about the potential
impacts of the development. This strong community response highlights the widespread
opposition to the project and underscores the significant concerns regarding privacy invasion,
increased traffic, and the setting of a precedent for unreasonable height and density in our
neighborhood. The support for this petition demonstrates our community's commitment to
preserving the character and quality of life in our area, reinforcing the need for careful
consideration by the zoning board. I have included the link to the petition below:
Petition: Opposition to Zoning Density Increase at 4405 N 21st St, Phoenix, AZ 85016
Conclusion
In conclusion, I strongly urge the zoning board and other decision makers to reject the proposed
zoning density increase. The privacy, safety, and character of our community are at stake, and it
is essential to preserve the integrity of our neighborhood for current and future residents.
Addressing the real housing needs of Phoenix, focusing on affordable and workforce housing,
will better serve our city's long-term interests and maintain the quality of life we cherish.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Royden Hudnall

To Members of the City Council, Planning Commission, Village Planning Committee and the Planning
Department:
I am writing in support of the proposed multifamily community at the northeast corner of 21st
Street and Turney Ave. I have lived in this area for many years and believe that the proposed
development will be a welcome addition to the neighborhood, replacing what is an outdated
property and bringing investment into the community.
In addition, I do not agree with the statement that the proposed apartment community will have a
negative impact on the surrounding area. The proposed location is in an area where there are
several existing multifamily properties, some of which already have R-5 zoning. The proposed
placement of the building makes sense for the property and was clearly designed to be as far
away from the surrounding properties as possible. I do not believe that the proposed height or
density is out of character for what is an urban area and would like to see the request approved
for this property.

Report Suspicious
Dear Planning Commission Members,
My name is Courtney and I’m reaching out as a resident of the City of Phoenix and Arizona native to support
the Turney Villas project Z-74-24-6 on the October 10 Planning Commission agenda.
According to a new report by the Morrison Institute [morrisoninstitute.asu.edu], rents in Arizona increased by
72% from 2010 to 2022. This has put tremendous stress on middle and low-income workers in our state. In
August, almost 8,000 Maricopa county residents [azcentral.com] faced eviction filings. Homelessness has also
increased and is at the highest level since 2010. In 2023, there were 14,237 people who experienced
homelessness, including over a thousand older adults.
Arizona’s housing crisis requires ongoing investments in housing, and this project will bring 64 new units to a
neighborhood that already supports a mixture of density and types of housing.
This project is a much needed source of housing for the City of Phoenix. While this one project will not solve
the crisis, we must do everything we can to ensure that every Arizonan can be at home and live a stable,
purposeful life.
For these reasons, I support this project.
Sincerely,
Courtney Anderson

Re:
Support for Rezoning Request Z-74-24-6
Northeast Corner of 21st St and Turney Ave.
To Members of the City Council, Planning Commission, Village Planning Committee and the
Planning Department:
My name is James Sean McGettigan. I am writing in support of the proposed multifamily
community at the northeast corner of 21st Street and Turney Ave.
I have lived in this area for many years for the vibrant neighborhood it is and continues to evolve
into being. The proposed development will be a welcome addition to the neighborhood,
replacing an outdated property and bringing much needed investment into the community. I
would love this area to evolve similar in nature to 16th Street and Highland or 36th – 40th Street
and Campbell with areas for fitness studios, coffee shops, co-working spaces, etc. providing
additional areas to gather and feel the vibrancy.
I do not agree with the statement that the proposed apartment community would have a negative
impact on the surrounding area and wish it incorporated more of the surrounding properties into
the design and build. The proposed location is in an area where there are several existing
multifamily properties, some of which already have R-5 zoning. The proposed placement of the
building maximizes the property’s highest and best use while clearly designed to minimize the
impact on the surrounding properties.
I do not believe that the proposed height or density is out of character for the area and would like
to see the request approved for this property and welcome continued development and
investment in the area.
Best Regards,
James Sean McGettigan
