RE: 
Planning Hearing Officer Application No. PHO-1-24—Z-19-22-7(8) 
Northeast Corner of 39th Avenue and Vineyard Road 
Modified Request 
Dear Mr. Easton: 
We represent Meritage Homes (“Meritage”). Meritage is proposing to develop 
approximately 11.10 gross acres of property located at the northeast corner of 39th Avenue 
and Vineyard Road (the “Site”) in the Laveen Village. The purpose of this letter is to modify 
the stipulation modification requests associated with the referenced Planning Hearing Officer 
(“PHO”) application previously submitted for the Site this past March. 
 
Pursuant to the City Council’s approval of rezoning application Z-19-22-7(8) on 
September 7, 2022, the Site was rezoned to R-2 (Multifamily Residence) to accommodate 
the development of a for-rent, multifamily residential development consisting of 110 units 
(the “2022 Approval”). The 2022 Approval is subject to 18 stipulations. On behalf of 
Meritage, we are requesting to modify a few of the approval stipulations associated with the 
2022 Approval to accommodate the development of 64 for-sale, single-family detached 
homes with private garages and yards and associated amenity and landscape enhancements 
(the “Project’) on the Site. 
 
In response to feedback provided during last month’s Laveen Village Planning 
Committee (“VPC”) Meeting, Meritage is modifying the PHO application to withdraw the 
request to delete stipulations two (2), six (6), and 7(a) of the 2022 Approval that pertained to 
garage door embellishments, tree caliper sizes, and the shading of sidewalks (collectively, 
the “Withdrawn Requests”). Furthermore, Meritage is amending the deletion and 
modification requests previously submitted for stipulations one (1), three (3), five (5), and 14 
of the 2022 Approval. Specifically, Meritage is proposing the following modifications to 
stipulations one (1), three (3), five (5), and 14 of the 2022 Approval (collectively, the 
“Amended Requests”):

1. The development shall be in general conformance to the site plan and open space 
exhibit date stamped March 17, 2022 JUNE 17, 2024, and elevations date stamped 
July 11, 2022 JUNE 17, 2024, as modified by the following stipulations and 
approved by the Planning and Development Department.  
3. The maximum building height shall be 30 feet, except THAT LOTS 4, 9, 10, 15, 
16, 21, 24, 29, 30, 36, 42, 43, 48, 49, 54, 55, 58, 59, 60 AND 61 SHOWN ON 
THE SITE PLAN DATE STAMPED JUNE 17, 2024 units along the north and 
east sides of the site shall be limited to a maximum building height OF ONE-
STORY (of 18 feet), as approved by the Planning and Development Department. 
5. The developer shall provide the option for EV-Ready (wiring for electric vehicle 
charging) garages and a minimum of 10 EV charging stations. 
14. A minimum of SIX (6) 28 bicycle parking spaces shall be provided through 
Inverted U and/or artistic racks located near building entrances or amenity areas 
and installed per the requirements of Section 1307.H of the Phoenix Zoning 
Ordinance, as approved by the Planning and Development Department. Artistic 
racks shall adhere to the City of Phoenix Preferred Designs in Appendix K of the 
Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan.  
In essence, Meritage would like to modify a few of the stipulations associated with 
the 2022 Approval to accommodate the development of single-family for-sale homes instead 
of the multifamily rental product previously planned for the Site. Consistent with the 
multifamily development previously approved for the Site, the Project will provide 
significant landscape and open space enhancements. At the same time, Meritage’s proposal 
represents approximately a 42 percent reduction in the number of residences currently 
entitled for the Site.  
The proposed modification to stipulation one (1) pertaining to general conformance to 
the site plan will allow for the development of single-family homes on the Site, as opposed to 
the more-dense multifamily rental product previously approved. The proposed modification 
to stipulation three (3) pertaining to building height combined with the Project’s provision of 
open spaces and landscape buffers along the north property line, as well as the provision of a 
significant buffer (landscape area and new local street) between the Project’s homes and 
residences adjoining the Site to the east, will satisfy the original intent of the stipulation for 
providing a transition between the new development and adjoining residences.  The proposed 
modifications to stipulations five (5) and 14 are reflective of the Project’s single-family 
product type including a private garage for each home where electric vehicles may be 
charged and bicycles may be securely stored. 
 In summary, Meritage intends to leave the vast majority of requirements established 
by the 2022 Approval in place as is. The purpose of the Withdrawn and Amended Requests 
is to respond to feedback provided by the Laveen VPC and to restore elements of the 2022

PHO-1-24—Z-19-22-7(8) 
June 17, 2024 
Page 3 
10820.51.3880087.3 
Approval imperative to the community. In making the Withdrawn and Amended Requests, 
Meritage has preserved the overall design intent (enhanced landscape improvements, 
substantial open space area, appropriate transition with adjoining residences etc.) of the 2022 
Approval. At the same time, the Project will provide new for-sale single-family homes that 
are needed and desired within the Laveen Community while also reducing the density 
currently entitled for the Site by approximately 42 percent. 
Thank you for your consideration of this modified request.  Please let me know if you 
need any other information to evaluate this request.  We look forward to discussing these 
proposed modifications with you at the upcoming hearing.   
Sincerely, 
GAMMAGE & BURNHAM, PLC

Application #: 
Z-19-22-7

To:

Acreage:

Location: 
Northeast corner of 39th Avenue and Vineyard Road 
 
Proposal: 
Multifamily residential 
 
Applicant: 
Prestige BeckShar Development, LLC 
 
Owner: 
Laveen Land, LLC 
 
Representative: 
Michael T. Maerowitz, Snell & Wilmer 
 
 
Ms. Racelle Escolar stated that Item No. 25 is Z-19-22-7, a request to rezone 
11.08 acres located at the northeast corner of 39th Avenue and Vineyard Road 
from R1-8 (Single-Family Residence District) to R-2 (Multifamily Residence 
District) to allow multifamily residential. 
The Laveen Village Planning Committee recommended approval, per the staff 
recommendation (Addendum A Staff Report) with a modification and additional 
stipulations by an 8 to 0 vote. The Village Planning Committee recommended 
modifying Stipulation No. 1 to reference updated elevations presented at the 
meeting, and adding stipulations regarding traffic mitigation along Vineyard 
Road, adding a shaded playground element in the open space area, and 
adding the option for EV-Ready garages and a minimum number of EV-Ready 
charging stations. 
Staff recommends approval, per the Laveen Village Planning Committee 
recommendation. 
Ms. Escolar stated that the applicant was available to answer questions. 
Chairman Howard asked the applicant to come up and make a very brief 
presentation on this item, because he knows that there have been some 
changes since this was heard at the Village. He thought it would be good to go 
over a couple of those changes prior to voting. 
Mr. Michael T. Maerowitz stated that he would forgo a formal presentation due 
to the length of tonight’s meeting. He stated that they are in support of the staff 
recommendation with the stipulations as modified by the Laveen Village 
Planning Committee. They do not have any modifications to those. 
Chairman Howard asked if this item is the one where the applicant detached 
the units after the Village hearing.  
Mr. Maerowitz responded, no, that was not this case. 
Chairman Howard apologized for the mix up. He stated that since there were 
no speakers in support or opposition to this case, he would invite a motion.

Approved Minutes – August 4, 2022

Commissioner Busching asked to speak. She stated that she drove this 
property and agrees that it is in bad need of development. People have to drive 
on Vineyard Road on a one-lane road and share the road, which is difficult, and 
39th Avenue is not built out. But this is a property in the middle of a lot of 
single-family with lush landscaping, open areas, amenities that are open to 
everybody. This is going to put a four-walled, single-family, for-rent property in 
the middle of it. The people that are in the single-family, for-rent are going to be 
able to use all of the amenities in the neighborhood, but the neighborhood is 
not going to be able to use any of their amenities. She stated that she had 
asked the applicant for a wall plan. They said, maybe they could get it. She 
stated that there are certainly going to be walls all along 39th Avenue and all 
along Vineyard Road. They do not know if those walls are going to be attractive 
to the neighborhood or going to make this property look like a prison in the 
middle of a very nice single-family neighborhood. She is not in favor of this 
project. 
Commissioner Perez commented that when it comes to Laveen cases, she 
makes sure she touches base with the Chair or the Vice-Chair. She stated that 
they were happy with this project. The Laveen Village Planning Committee 
goes through their stipulations and does their due diligence. Most of the 
applicants that go to Laveen also have to go through Laveen Citizens for 
Responsible Development (LCRD), which also approved this case. She 
understands what Commissioner Busching was saying; however, for Laveen to 
vote 8 to 0 and be happy with this project, she would support it. If they 
approved it and are comfortable with it and the way it is going to look, along 
with their stipulations, she thinks they should move it forward. There was no 
one from Laveen on the list of participants to speak.   
Vice-Chairwoman Mangum stated that she is very familiar with this area and 
agrees with Commissioner Perez. It is going to add a lot to the neighborhood. 
She respects what Commission Busching stated; however, she thinks it is a 
really good project, and she will be in support of it. 
Chairman Howard stated that he would echo that. It is a good project. He thinks 
that the elevations, in particular, are very attractive. He asked Commissioner 
Busching if her objections were that it has walls, or is it something specific that 
she wants to see regarding those walls. He stated that it sounded like there 
was some concern that the surrounding neighborhood would not be able to use 
the amenities, however, it is a private community with private amenities. He 
was not sure that he totally understood what the alternative is. 
Commissioner Busching responded that she thinks it is a great project for a 
different location. It is not a great project for this location, because this location 
is surrounded by properties that are not walled or gated. This being a for-rent 
project, people will be able to use the amenities of the other projects that are 
around there and the converse is not true. That is one big issue for her. Another 
big issue is the fact that they have no idea what all these single-family 
homeowners in the neighborhood are going to be looking at on all these walls

Planning Commission Hearing  
Approved Minutes – August 4, 2022

that are being created. She thinks that a village needs to know if they are going 
to be looking at walls when they drive around every day, what they are going to 
look like, and whether they are going to be happy with them. 
Commissioner Gaynor asked Mr. Maerowitz what the wall is going to look like. 
Mr. Maerowitz stated that was a great question. They have not gotten to the 
point in the site plan review process with the City about what exactly the wall is 
going to look like. That stated, he appreciates the comments from all the 
Commissioners. They will comply with the City’s design guidelines that are 
applicable to perimeter walls in Section 507. The perimeter wall will be a 
decorative wall that will match the architecture of the rest of the project, in 
terms of colors. He added that this is a development team that has gone above 
and beyond the typical development standards, in terms of design. He thinks 
that is evident by the unanimous recommendation approval by the Village. They 
will not short circuit that effort with a wall that is a plain block wall. It will be a 
decorative wall with colors that match the high quality and enhanced 
architecture of the rest of the community. 
Commissioner Gaynor thanked Mr. Maerowitz for his explanation. He stated 
that he lives in a neighborhood that is surrounded by walls. People who have 
driven into his neighborhood to visit them from Salt Lake City, Detroit, and 
Mexico love the way the neighborhood looks, because of the trees and brush 
added to the area. He is surrounded by walls, and he loves coming into his 
neighborhood and it looks beautiful. He thinks that the City has been very strict 
with what the design guidelines are. He is going to rely on the Village. It 
sounded to him like they really went through this process. It is their village and 
he would support the project. 
 
Commissioner Busching responded to Commissioner Gaynor and Mr. 
Maerowitz. Yes, the design guidelines do provide for enhanced design on walls. 
Unfortunately, what she has been seeing is that there are many situations 
where the developers do not comply, and it is up to the inspectors to enforce it. 
Inspectors find that there are a lot of other issues that are much more pressing 
than how the perimeter walls look, so they do not do it, and they end up with 
block walls. Nobody wants to take down a wall that is already up, so they end 
up with walls that are not in accordance with the design guidelines. That is why 
she is really concerned for the people that have to look at them. 
Chairman Howard stated that he wanted to be careful that they are not creating 
obstacles that are out of order for applicants. If this is really something that is 
part of the site plan approval or part of the construction documents, he wanted 
to be careful that they did not make it an imposition at this stage in the process, 
before an applicant knows that they have the land use that they would need to 
have in order to obviously spend the money on those subsequent designs. He 
asked staff if a wall plan is required at this stage in the process. If it is, he thinks 
that they should defer to that. If it is not, then he thinks that they should defer to 
whatever the policies and procedures of staff are.

Approved Minutes – August 4, 2022

Commissioner Perez asked if the design could come back to the Village or go 
through a PHO regarding the design element. She stated that would satisfy 
Commissioner Busching if they were able to review it before it went forward, to 
add something where they would come back to the Village. They have done it  
for a lot of other cases, where they have gone back to Laveen for design review 
to make sure that they are meeting it, such as wanting a rural look. Many of the 
zoning attorneys at this meeting knows that they have gone back to Laveen to 
make sure that they looked at those. If that would satisfy Commissioner 
Busching, then maybe they should add it. 
Chairman Howard stated that he thinks the solution is, if there are things that 
inspectors are overlooking, they should make sure that the inspectors enforce 
the rules. It is not to create another barrier for applicants to add another six 
weeks to an approval process, to go back to a Village after already getting 
through a Village. He asked staff if wall plans are required at this time. 
Ms. Escolar stated no, a wall plan is not required with a rezoning process, but it 
would be required with the next step, which is typically a preliminary site plan 
approval. 
Commissioner Johnson stated that he agreed with what Commissioner Gaynor 
had said. Creating a stipulation where they have to put up wall plans is really 
great for big builders, but for a small builder, like himself, it is an added cost 
that really starts to push out local builders and only really attract some of the 
big builders in the Valley, which is not really what the Commission wants. They 
want to make sure they are having a good mix of both, in his opinion. Secondly, 
he stated that if there are these inspectors out there, he would encourage staff 
to start sending them to his site, because he has not encountered that ever. 
The inspectors that they have are very meticulous in what they inspect, and 
they require it to be verbatim, exactly what is on the site plan, to the point 
where it can be frustrating as a builder, but he also understands that it is their 
job. He agrees with Chairman Howard and what Commissioner Gaynor stated. 
This is not really something that is part of the process, and he does not think 
that it should be added to the process. If the applicant decides to offer this up, 
he is supportive of that on future cases. But, right now on this case the Village 
has signed off, the neighborhood has signed off, staff has signed off. There is 
zero opposition, and considering sending it back to the Village for wall plans 
does not seem fair to him. 
Vice-Chairwoman Mangum made a motion to approve Z-19-22-7, per the 
Laveen Village Planning Committee recommendation. 
Commissioner Gaynor SECONDED. 
 
There being no further discussion, Chairman Howard called for a vote and the 
MOTION Passed 8-1 (Busching).

STAFF BACKGROUND PRESENTATION 
Julianna Pierre indicated that this item was heard by the Village Planning Committee 
(VPC) at last month’s meeting and was continued to address concerns with the 
conceptual elevations. She provided information regarding the location of the site and 
surrounding zoning. She stated that the applicant is coming before the Committee for 
review of conceptual elevations per Stipulation No. 2. She displayed the proposed 
elevations for the residential and support buildings. 
 
APPLICANT PRESENTATION 
Alan Beaudoin, applicant and representative with Norris Design, stated that at last 
month’s meeting he presented elevations, but the VPC wanted to see more detailing 
with accent materials and colors. He displayed the revised elevations and stated that 
since the last meeting he had discussions with Committee members and made 
adjustments as recommended.  
 
QUESTIONS FROM COMMITTEE 
Vice Chair Linda Abegg stated that through discussions with the applicant they 
decided to modify Stipulation No. 2 to general conformance to the revised elevations 
with specific regard to the following elements:

• The elevations will utilize a minimum of 3 different siding materials, generally 
as shown above. 
• The units will utilize farmhouse style gooseneck lamps at the entries. 
• Eaves will extend 18 inches off of primary facades. 
• The individual unit types will be located on the site plan per the provided key 
plans. 
• Black window frames should be used for white colored elevations that face a

instead a dark brown. Vice Chair Linda Abegg stated that the vinyl should be a darker 
color, either black or dark brown. 
 
PUBLIC COMMENTS 
Dan Penton requested that the updated elevations be forwarded to the Laveen 
Citizens for Responsible Development (LCRD). He added that the modified elevations 
are better without pastel colors, and he appreciated the improvements in aesthetics,

foot driveways. Alan Beaudoin stated that 22-foot driveway have been incorporated 
into the most recent site plan.

5. 
Z-19-22-7: Presentation, discussion, and possible recommendation regarding a 
request to rezone 11.08 acres located at the northeast corner of 39th Avenue and 
Vineyard Road from R1-8 (Single-Family Residence District) to R-2 (Multifamily 
Residence District) to allow multifamily residential. 
 
STAFF PRESENTATION 
Julianna Pierre indicated that this item was heard by the VPC at last month’s meeting 
and now they are returning for recommendation. She provided information regarding 
the location of the site, surrounding zoning, and general plan designation. She briefly 
discussed the proposal by reviewing the site plan and elevations. She discussed that 
community concerns were expressed at last month’s meeting regarding traffic and 
speeding. She also reviewed the staff findings, recommendation, and stipulations. 
 
APPLICANT PRESENTATION 
Michael Maerowitz, representative with Gammage & Burnham, provided information 
regarding the location of the site, surrounding zoning, and general plan land use 
designation. He stated that the proposal is to rezone the site from R1-8 to R-2 to allow 
a multifamily community. He added that the development is proposed to have 110 units 
of one- and two-story buildings, with height limitations adjacent to existing residential. 
He added that he met with the Chair and Vice Chair to discuss the design of the 
property and based on comments from the last VPC meeting, additional architectural 
detailing was added for perimeter lots. He stated that the elevations were modified, and 
the general conformance stipulation should be modified to include the elevations date 
stamped July 11, 2022. He added that the traffic and speeding was discussed with the 
Street Transportation Department and the developer is willing to add a stipulation to aid 
in mitigation. 
 
QUESTIONS FROM COMMITTEE 
Committee member Stephanie Hurd appreciated the applicant initiating the process 
to set up street improvements to mitigate speeding. She was also pleased with the 
palm trees near the pool and throughout the development. Committee member

Laveen Village Planning Committee 
Minutes – July 11, 2022

Carlos Ortega appreciated the additional stipulation to work with the Street 
Transportation Department regarding speeding mitigation. 
 
Committee member Rebecca Perrera appreciated the diversity and variety in the 
elevations’ designs. She asked if there would be a playground in any of the open space 
areas. Michael Maerowitz stated that the open space areas did not have a 
playground, but would have lawn games, such as cornhole and bocce ball. He stated 
that the developer is not opposed to a playground, but wanted the open space to be 
more park-like. Committee member Rebecca Perrera stated that if families live in the 
development, a playground would probably be appreciated. Committee member 
Carlos Ortega asked if play equipment could be incorporated on the east side of the 
central open space. Michael Maerowitz stated that play equipment could be added 
just east of the fitness center. 
 
Vice Chair Linda Abegg asked about the possibility of EV charging capabilities. 
Committee member Carlos Ortega asked if the private garages could be wired as 
well. Michael Maerowitz stated that the developer would provide charging stations and 
that a portion of the garage spaces could be wired. 
 
PUBLIC COMMENTS 
Dan Penton stated that the developer could provide a tot lot instead of a full 
playground. He also discussed traffic and noted that the Homeowners Association may 
have to be involved in the process to add speed mitigation elements adjacent to the 
site. 
 
Phil Hertel expressed concern with the proposed density. He stated there is adjacent 
R-2 (Multifamily Residence District) zoning, but it was built with single-family 
residences, which should be taken into account. He expressed concerns with traffic, 
specifically noting that the north of the site, 39th Avenue will not be improved. He 
added that the intersection at 39th Avenue and Southern Avenue is the deadliest 
intersection in Laveen, and the proposed development is not doing anything to assist 
with traffic issues. 
 
Margaret Shalley stated that she was in support of having a tot lot or playground with 
a shade covering. 
 
APPLICANT RESPONSE 
Michael Maerowitz stated that the density is technically higher, but the number of total 
bedrooms is similar to that of 60 single-family residential homes. He stated that the 
density is also necessary for the site to be economically feasible with quality materials 
and amenities. He added that a single-family home with three to four bedrooms would 
generate more traffic than a single bedroom unit. He stated that a traffic study was 
prepared showing that peak traffic numbers would be 52 in the morning and 62 in the 
afternoon, only having a 1% increase to arterial streets. He added that the developer 
has been working with the Street Transportation Department to work on traffic 
mitigation.

COMMITTEE DISCUSSION 
Committee member Stephanie Hurd stated that the open space provided is great, 
but a playground should be left up to the developer. She stated that while kids may use 
it during the day, teens will hang out there at night. She added that it would be nice for 
additional palm trees to be included near the pool area. Committee member Rebecca 
Perrera noted that palm trees take a lot of maintenance and water. Committee 
members agreed that a motion should be made without a request for additional palm 
trees. 
 
MOTION 
Committee member Rebecca Perrera made a motion to approve Z-19-22-7 with a 
modification to Stipulation No. 1, regarding general conformance, to include the 
elevations date stamped July 11, 2022, and the following additional stipulations: 
• The developer shall make reasonable efforts to work with the Street 
Transportation Department and neighbors in proximity to the site to identify 
improvements, including speed bumps, roundabout, and/or similar 
improvements, for mitigating vehicle speeding on Vineyard Road and 39th 
Avenue adjacent to the site agreed upon by neighbors, the Street 
Transportation Department and developer in accordance with the City’s 
procedures for installing such improvements. 
• The common open space area shall provide a shaded playground element, 
as approved by the Planning and Development Department. 
• The developer shall provide the option for EV-ready (wiring for electric 
vehicle charging) garages and a minimum of 10 EV charging stations. 
The motion was seconded by Committee member Francisco Barraza. 
 
VOTE 
8-0, motion passed; Committee members Abegg, Barraza, Buggs, Hurd, Jensen, 
Ortega, Perrera, and Rouse in favor. 
 
6. 
Z-22-22-8 (Companion Case Z-SP-3-22-8): Presentation, discussion, and possible 
recommendation regarding a request to rezone 4.90 acres located approximately 220 
feet north of the northeast corner of 59th Avenue and Elliot Road from C-1 
(Neighborhood Commercial) to C-2 (Intermediate Commercial) to allow commercial 
uses. 
 
Item No. 6, Z-22-22-8, and No. 7, Z-SP-3-22-8, were heard concurrently.  
 
STAFF PRESENTATION 
Julianna Pierre provided information regarding the request, location, and surrounding 
zoning for Rezoning Case No. Z-22-22-8 and Special Permit Case No. Z-SP-3-22-8. 
She stated that the Special Permit would allow a self-service storage facility comprised 
of three buildings, and the remainder of the site still subject to Z-22-22-8 would be or 
future commercial uses. She stated that the site would have enhanced landscaping 
and the self-service storage facility’s roll-up doors would be oriented away from

Minutes – July 11, 2022

residences. She reviewed the community input, staff findings, recommendation, and 
stipulations for both cases. 
 
APPLICANT PRESENTATION 
Adam Baugh, representative with Withey Morris, PLC, discussed the location, general 
plan designation, and history of the site for both Z-22-22-8 and Z-SP-3-22-8. He 
discussed the site layout, noting that the southwest corner of the site will be retained as 
a future retail parcel. He reviewed the conceptual elevations and project highlights and 
benefits. He stated that the self-service storage use is an ideal buffer for adjacent 
residential because it is a low-intensity commercial use. He added that, per discussion 
with the Committee, the developer was open to adding a stipulation requiring a 
Planning Hearing Officer hearing for the future commercial portion and a modification 
to the shading requirement for the 5-foot-wide detached sidewalk along 59th Avenue. 
 
QUESTIONS FROM COMMITTEE 
Committee member JoAnne Jensen asked for clarification about community 
correspondence. Vice Chair Linda Abegg stated that the applicant does community 
outreach, but staff will typically note that there has been no community correspondence 
if no emails have been received. 
 
Committee member Linda Abegg asked about increasing shade to 75%. Adam 
Baugh explained that there are space constraints, and it would not be possible to add 
a second row of trees to provide 75% shade. He stated that they will meet the 
Ordinance requirement of 50% shading. 
 
PUBLIC COMMENT 
Dan Penton appreciated that the elevations were discussed with the LCRD and 
community input was taken into account. He expressed concerns with the orientation of 
the primary building considering residential is proposed directly adjacent to the self-
service storage facility. He recommended that front of the primary building face south 
and incorporate four-sided architecture. He also expressed concern regarding the ratio 
of storage and residential in the Village. He added the commercial that is approved 
should be revenue generating and usable. 
 
APPLICANT RESPONSE 
Adam Baugh clarified that the building is oriented as proposed because there will be a 
right in-right out entry to the site. He added that a corner of the site is set aside for 
future commercial and there is zoning across 59th Avenue or future commercial. 
 
MOTION 
Committee member Carlos Ortega made a motion to approve Z-22-22-8 with the 
modification of Stipulation No. 4, regarding review and comment, to instead require a 
PHO and modification of Stipulation No. 11.a to include language for 50% shading of 
the detached sidewalk. The motion was seconded by Committee member Francisco 
Barraza.

Baseline Road from Residential 2 to 3.5 dwelling units per acre to Commercial to allow 
commercial development.

STAFF PRESENTATION

surrounding zoning for General Plan Amendment, GPA-LV-1-22-8, and Rezoning Case 
No. Z-25-22-8. She stated that the PUD request and associated General Plan 
Amendment would permit a veterinary hospital and other commercial uses. She 
discussed the proposal of a veterinary hospital and clinic on the south side of the site 
and the north side of the side is proposed for future commercial uses. She discussed 
the prohibited uses, development standards, and design of the proposal. She stated 
that there was community input about traffic issues caused by the adjacent school. She 
reviewed the staff findings, recommendation, and stipulations for Z-25-22-8 and noted 
that the associated General Plan Amendment did not have any stipulations.

Laveen Village Planning Committee 
Minutes – July 11, 2022 
Page 8 of 12 
 
 
site will be the Laveen Veterinary Center and that the northern portion of the site will be 
for future commercial uses. He stated that since last month, the developer had talked 
with the Community and Economic Development Department to determine the 
demographics in the area and what types of commercial uses would be best for the 
north side of the site. He emphasized that the intent of the PUD is to develop and asset 
for the community.

Dan Penton stated that he was in favor of the proposal, but requested that the north 
side of the parcel be dustproofed until uses were ready to be built.

Laveen Village Planning Committee 
Minutes – July 11, 2022 
Page 9 of 12 
 
 
and three-story multifamily apartments; and Lot 3, the one-story multifamily 
development with courtyard clusters. She reviewed the conceptual site plan and 
elevations. She discussed the community input, staff findings, recommendation, and 
stipulations. 
 
APPLICANT PRESENTATION 
Ben Tate, representative with Withey Morris, PLC, provided information regarding the 
site location, general plan designation, and adjacent zoning. He discussed the site 
history and noted that the defunct Laveen Town Center Planned Community District 
(PCD) is no longer supported. He added that the applicant is requesting to zone out of 
the PCD due to the stipulations requiring master planning, which are difficult to satisfy 
for one parcel. He added that the density and height for the new proposal matches that 
of the PCD and the proposal is an adaptation of what was proposed in 2004. He 
reviewed the proposal, specifically describing the key information for Lots 1, 2, and 3. 
He displayed the conceptual site plan, elevations, various renderings, and color 
options. 
 
QUESTIONS FROM COMMITTEE 
Committee member Carlos Ortega expressed concern with the lack of commercial. 
He recommended that the entire frontage of 59th Avenue be commercial uses. He 
added that the applicant had modified their original plan, but the retail space of Lot 1 
was not increased, only the parking area. He added that the commercial will not be 
accessible to other Laveen residents and will only function as an amenity for those who 
live in Lots 2 and 3. He also expressed concern with the lack of open space in the 
residential lots. Committee member Rebecca Perrera added that there is a need for 
more commercial and what is proposed will not be accessible to other residents within 
the Laveen Village. 
 
Committee member Stephanie Hurd stated that the proposal looks great, but needs 
additional commercial space. She stated that commercial zoning in the Village is 
always used for multifamily development or a self-service storage facility and there is a 
need for more usable commercial. She stated that the Committee should continue to 
item to allow the applicant more time to modify the proposal to Laveen’s advantage. 
Committee member Jennifer Rouse stated that she was disappointed with the 
proposal and there should be additional commercial integrated into the development. 
Committee member Carlos Ortega stated that the three residential buildings in Lot 2 
along Dobbins Road should be commercial. He reiterated that the residential lots need 
more open space and Laveen wants more open space that is required by the 
Ordinance. He recommended that the applicant continue to work with the Committee 
and community to modify the proposal. 
 
Vice Chair Linda Abegg stated that the 40 acres to the south is intended to be a 
public park with 20 acres leased to the school district for a school. She stated that the 
applicant should work with the City regarding the park space because there is a need 
for additional open space considering the number of units proposed. Committee

Laveen Village Planning Committee 
Minutes – July 11, 2022 
Page 10 of 12 
 
 
member Rebecca Perrera also expressed concerns with the lack of open space 
incorporated into the proposal. 
 
Committee member JoAnne Jensen stated that she understood it would take more 
people than proposed in the development to support additional commercial. She 
recommended that the development provide additional spaces that could be converted 
into retail in the future. Committee member Stephanie Hurd stated that most 
commercial in the Village has become multifamily, but commercial users do want to 
return to Laveen. Ben Tate stated that the proposed amount of commercial is what can 
be supported in the future. 
 
PUBLIC COMMENTS 
Dan Penton stated that the proposal shows a lack of vision and unwillingness to listen 
to the Committee and community. He also expressed concern with the neighborhood 
meeting. He added that he held a poll on Facebook where 98% of respondents 
indicated they wanted more commercial and open space to be included in the 
development. He added the developer increased the town square, but did not increase 
the retail space, but only the parking area. He recommended that the developer keep 
the number of units the same, but increase the proposed height to allow for more open 
space and commercial. He expressed concerns that the commercial uses will only 
function as an amenity for Lots 2 and 3. He recommended that the applicant ask for a 
continuance to receive additional input from the community and modify the proposal. 
 
Justin Ferrandi stated that commercial development needs to be supported by 
rooftops. He stated that the Committee should allow additional rooftops to be built and 
commercial development will follow. 
 
APPLICANT RESPONSE 
Ben Tate stated that Lot 1 will have indoor and outdoor leasable area for retail. He 
added that the developer may be able to add additional commercial, but it has to be 
sustainable for the market. He stated that the number of residents living on site will not 
be enough to service the proposed commercial, and the intent is for the commercial 
area to be used by residents on and off site. He added that additional commercial may 
remain unleased, detracting from the mixed-use environment. 
 
COMMITTEE DISCUSSION 
Vice Chair Linda Abegg stated that there had been discussions with the applicant and 
the town square portion of the development would have to be built before the second 
phase of residential is built. 
 
Committee member Stephanie Hurd stated that the Committee should consider a 
continuance to give the applicant time to modify the proposal to incorporate more 
commercial. She said the commercial users, such as Target, were considering coming 
to the Village when there was primarily one acre lots.

Laveen Village Planning Committee 
Minutes – July 11, 2022 
Page 11 of 12 
 
 
Committee member Carlos Ortega stated that a continuance should be considered 
because the Committee wants to see something different and there needs to be more 
community input. Committee member Rebecca Perrera stated that the Committee 
should consider a continuance over a vote. 
 
MOTION 
Committee member Carlos Ortega made a motion to continue Z-45-22-8 to the 
August 8th VPC meeting to give the applicant time to consider modifications to the 
proposal that incorporate more commercial and open space. The motion was 
seconded by Committee member Jennifer Rouse. 
 
VOTE 
8-0, motion passed; Committee members Abegg, Barraza, Buggs, Hurd, Jensen, 
Ortega, Perrera, and Rouse in favor.

from under advisement on June 23, 2022, and recommended approval with 
additional stipulations. She added that the additional stipulations were 
regarding general conformance to a landscape plan, to address 
requirements for archaeological survey and testing, and regarding submittal

• Dobbins Industrial Tech Park: Julianna Pierre stated that she is still in 
contact with Planning and Development management, City Council, and 
CED to provide an update presentation to the VPC. She indicated that she 
had not received a response, but hoped the update would be provided at the 
August VPC meeting. Vice Chair Linda Abegg stated that she has also 
requested management to attend the meeting multiple times to discuss 
Dobbins Industrial Tech Park. She discussed how the PUD was approved 
with the intent to have no distribution uses. She also discussed the informal 
interpretation that allowed a loophole for candy items to be packaged and 
distributed. However, this was not considered to be distribution because the 
site would allow people to come in and buy the candy. She stated that a 
potion of the proposal is currently in development review, but there are still 
issues with the number of dock doors.
