The subject site is approximately 18 gross acres and comprises APNs 301-20-001, 301-20-007C, 301-20-010G, 301-20-010J, 301-20-049Bm 301-20-050, 301-20-221, 301-20-222, 301- 20-223, 301-23-004C, and 301-23-003F (the “Property”). See aerial map at Tab 1. More specifically, the PHO request is the review of elevations, as required by one of their stipulations associated with zoning case no. Z-104-23-8 that rezoned the site to R1-6 BAOD (Single-family Residence District, Baseline Area Overlay District) to allow a single-family subdivision. This zoning case was approved by the Phoenix City Council on April 3, 2024 per Ordinance G-7243, a copy of which is attached at Tab 2. PROPOSAL The conceptual site plan provided identifies 61 single-family residential lots. See Conceptual Site Plan, Tab 3. The Property is accessed via 36th Street. Emergency access is provided on the north side of the Property via a public street stub in the existing subdivision. Approximately 3.9 acres of the Property is devoted to common area open space, which is nearly five times the amount required in the R1-6 District. Open space areas with turf are provided throughout the community and a centrally located ramada and play structure are provided to foster community engagement. Each residence will include a two-car garage and provided parking complies with Section 702 of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance. In addition, the Applicant is proposing a set of elevations for their single-family homes that are in line with the Baseline Area Overlay District and Single-Family Design Review Guidelines, as detailed below. See Elevations, Tab 4. Porchlight Homes has prepared this submittal in accordance with the Single-Family Residential Housing Design Review Development Guidelines and will demonstrate how this project can meet the Standard Approach or Alternative Approach requirements. Herewith please find a narrative justification when the Alternative Approach is selected and demonstration of compliance for the Standard Approach. Please note that the house width for this project is 45’ so requirements for > 40’to 50’ shall apply. 2915 E Baseline Road, Suite 118 Gilbert, Arizona 85234 Office - (480) 813-1324 lpowell@porchlighthomes.com May 30, 2024 Page 2 The elevations include the following elements: I. SUBDIVISION DESIGN (Alternative Approach) (1) Vary building’s relationship to the street. (a) The curvilinear shape of the Highline Canal creates asymmetry in the lot layout and allows for no more than 9 contiguous lots in a row. The presence of a 30’+ hill in the center of the community also creates a visually appealing and unstructured feel to the subdivision breaking up the potential monotony of rows of unvaried lots. All homes will be setback 20’ from the street and min of 26’ to front a garage face. All plans have been designed with an articulated front façade to create an appealable street scene and a varied building relationship with the street. Each home will have a forward-facing garage that is set back a minimum of 8’ from the front façade or porch of the home to create an enhanced staggering effect across the project. Creating a 5ft stagger for one lot in each block would adversely impact the house plan. (b) Streets will be provided as per the Preliminary Site Plan (2) Vary the driveway orientation or location for 25% of the lots in each subdivision. (d) Pavers will be offered as an alternative driveway surface in lieu of concrete driveways. (3) Vary the relationship between buildings. (g) Relationships between buildings will be varied by providing a combined side yard of 10 feet for all lots on each block face, per the submitted Plot Plans. (4) Vary street orientation. (i) Street orientation is designed as short length that minimizes the impact of sequential garages, per the Preliminary Site Plan. II. HOUSING DESIGN (Standard Approach) (a) Three (3) different elevation designs will be provided for each plan; this will yield nine (9) distinctive elevations designs provided within the community. They include Santa Barbara Contemporary, Modern Desert Prairie and Mid-Century Modern. (b) Nine (9) distinct color schemes will be provided which include three schemes per elevation. (c) Three (3) distinctive roof tiles colors will be provided as per the color scheme exhibits provided within this submittal. (d) Exterior accent materials consisting of thin brick, cultured stone and contemporary ledge stone provided as standard materials per elevation. (e) A sand finish stucco texture will be offered within the community. No additional texture is required. (f) Front yard landscaping will be provided with 2-24” box trees 25’ apart to provide shade to the sidewalk per the Baseline Area Overlay District May 30, 2024 Page 3 (g) Three standard plans will be offered with each having three elevations to choose from. (h) Each standard plan will have three distinctive elevations that offer specific exterior detailing. • Santa Barbara Contemporary – this elevation will include several arched windows, window overhang affixed with metal rods for a contemporary look, modern front door with a pop of color, sand stucco finish and a “S” profile rood tile. • Modern Desert Prairie – this elevation will include low pitched hip roofs, extended eaves, contemporary ledgestone, modern window overhangs, decorative pop outs, covered front porches and a low-profile flat roof tile with straight edge. • Mid-Century Modern – this elevation will include angled and flat rooflines, stone veneer, modern color blocking and a low-profile flat roof tile with tapered edge. III. GARAGE TREATMENT (Standard Approach) (a) The house width will be forty-five feet (45’) and each home will have a forward-facing standard two car garage door measuring sixteen feet (16’). In addition, 10% of the community will have a side entry garage per the Baseline Area Overlay requirements. (b) All plans have the garage positioned eight feet (8’) or less behind the front plane of a covered porch with the exception of our side entry garage required by the Baseline Area Overlay. (d) Three (3) distinctive garage door designs with raised and flat panels and windows will be provided as per the standard plan elevations. (e) Plan 3 includes a 3-car garage however the third is a side entry garage required by the Baseline Area Overlay requirements. (f) Requirement met. Only one plan has a three-car garage and it is a side entry garage per the Baseline Area Overlay requirement. IV.COMMUNITY SAFETY (Standard Approach) (a) All elevations shall provide front entrances which are visible from the street or adjacent open space. (b) Architectural features such as a front porch and street facing front door clearly delineates the front entry of the home. PHO ELEVATION REVIEW To allow the proposed redevelopment of the Property, the Owner requests the PHO Elevation Review by the Planning Hearing Officer process, including review by the South Mountain Village Planning Committee, as noted in stipulation #34 per Z-104-23-8, which notes: 34. The conceptual elevations for future development (new homes) shall be reviewed and approved, with specific regard to the Single-Family Design Review Guidelines, by the Planning Hearing Officer through the public hearing process, including review by the South Mountain Village Planning Committee, for stipulation modification prior to preliminary site plan approval. This is a legislative review for conceptual purposes only. May 30, 2024 Page 4 Specific development standards and requirements will be determined by the Planning Hearing Officer, and the Planning and Development Department. Therefore, we are requesting this application to satisfy this stipulation above, and to continue development of the single-family residential subdivision. CONCLUSION In order to continue with the development of this subdivision, the elevation review via the PHO process is required. We look forward to presenting the proposed elevations for review.

Application #: Z-104-23-8 From: R1-6 BAOD (Approved R1-10 BAOD), S-1 BAOD (Approved R1-10 BAOD), and S-1 BAOD To: R1-6 BAOD Acreage: 18.52 Location: Northeast corner of 36th Street and Beverly Road Proposal: Single-family residential Applicant: Adam Baugh, Withey Morris Baugh, PLC Owner: Miguel and Yvonne Montiel Family Trust; All Other Property, LLP; and DK Square Investments, LLC Representative: Adam Baugh, Withey Morris Baugh, PLC Ms. Racelle Escolar stated that Item No. 11 is Z-104-23-8 a request to rezone 18.52 acres at northeast corner of 36th Street and Beverly Road from various residential districts to R1-6 (Single-Family Residence District) in the Baseline Area Overlay District to allow single-family residential. The South Mountain Village Planning Committee recommended approval, per the staff recommendation, with modifications and additional stipulations by a 13 to 0 vote (with one abstention). Staff has no concerns on the proposed modifications for Stipulation Nos. 8 and 12 and added Stipulation No. 33 which was renumbered to 32. Staff does have concerns and proposed modifications for several of the stipulations. These have been addressed in a memo released yesterday, posted online, and received in the Commissioners’ packets. She would not go through all the stipulations in detail. They are all outlined in the memo. Staff recommends approval, per the staff memo dated March 6, 2024. Chairman Gaynor called on the applicant and gave him two minutes to speak. Mr. Adam Baugh stated that this case has received unanimous approval by the Village Planning Committee and staff. This is not a question of whether it is compatible. The property is R1-6 and there is land around the R1-6. The proposal is an infill subdivision. It is only 61 lots. It is made up of three different owners. It is less dense than what the General Plan is, and it is the very kind of thing you would expect to see in this area. He wanted to go over some quick stipulation changes. They are in support of the memo recommended by staff, as was amended. Trent Marchuk, the Village Planning Committee Chair sent an email tonight with some suggested changes. Mr. Baugh is supportive of those Planning Commission Hearing APPROVED – March 7, 2024 Page 103 of 116 suggested changes. He is most interested in the following stipulations. He stated that they could ignore Stipulation No. 27, as it was corrected in the memo tonight. Regarding Stipulation No. 31, it was added at the Village to perform a traffic impact study to analyze the flow of traffic along Baseline Road and 36th Street. The applicant is in total support of the necessity of doing that. One of his concerns is he suspects Baseline Road and the volume that is on there today already triggers the warrants. Being a small 61-lot subdivision but having to cover the expense of a full traffic signal is in his opinion an undue burden for such a small infill neighborhood. It will probably drive up the costs beyond what they are trying to accommodate for this area. He simply proposed a minor change that says, rather than be responsible for all, that they be responsible towards a proportionate share of the funding. The second stipulation change he hoped the Planning Commission would entertain, is No. 33. There is a request, not from staff, or the Staff Report, or the applicant or any neighbor, but at the Village, one of the Village members asked that they could add a pedestrian crossing over the canal. There is a suggestion that was added afterwards, stating that they also maintain it, not just install it. There are 10 pedestrian crossings between the applicant and going east. There are another five pedestrian crossings going west of the property. He does not think that any of those are maintained by anybody else but the City or SRP. So, they might be one of the only ones being asked to take on this burden. He reminded them that they are a small 61-home subdivision. He respectfully requested that they would not be obligated to maintain it after installation. They do not mind installing it, but it is a public benefit that they do not need. He thought that the City would do that. SRP does not grant the applicant the obligation to do that. Chairman Gaynor asked Mr. Baugh if he was going to cover all the stipulations. Mr. Baugh responded that he only needed to change two of the stipulations. Chairman Gaynor asked Mr. Baugh to cover Stipulation No. 37. Mr. Baugh stated that Stipulation No. 37 was already addressed in the Staff Report. Chairman Gaynor asked if there were any questions for Mr. Baugh. Commissioner Gorraiz asked for Mr. Baugh to talk a little more about the request for the pedestrian bridge and the number and proximity of the other pedestrian bridges already in the area. Mr. Baugh displayed an exhibit showing the current bridge. It is about 240 feet from their property corner. At the Village, they requested he add another bridge, which he displayed to the left of the current bridge, at the end of the 36th Street cul-de-sac. Those two bridges are approximately 1,400 feet from each other (a quarter mile). He does not have an exhibit for the next one. There is another Planning Commission Hearing APPROVED – March 7, 2024 Page 104 of 116 bridge about 2,000 feet away, to the west. There are about three pedestrian bridge crossings within a half mile of this property. There are 14 in total, between Central Avenue and I-10. Commissioner Gorraiz stated that in the past when the Commission talked about having pedestrian anything, it involves the federal government and SRP. He asked if this is something that can be put in a stipulation. Ms. Escolar responded that this stipulation was added by the Village Planning Committee. Staff is not very supportive of it, but they are accommodating the Village request. As part of the stipulation, it does require approval by SRP. They would have to work with them to get that approved through them. Commissioner Gorraiz stated that they have always made people increase the size of the roadway, but had they ever asked them to be responsible for the maintenance of that roadway, or of anything the Planning Commission requires them to do. Ms. Escolar responded that she contacted SRP to ask about the maintenance and how it is typically handled. What they typically do is they do not maintain these pedestrian crossings. They will have a license agreement with the City to maintain it. With this scenario, if this were to be approved by SRP, the City would also eventually want the HOA to take over the maintenance. That is something that the City would have to work out with the developer. Mr. Matthews read the memo which stated, a good faith effort to engage with SRP. It seems like an unenforceable stipulation, being that the developer could just ask SRP, and that would be a good faith effort. He asked, if the applicant wants to respond; and if he has any qualms with that stipulation just being stricken legally, as part of the recommendation. He asked if it would torpedo key support for the community. Mr. Baugh stated that they are fine with it stricken. The only neighbor who spoke about it, spoke against it. He stated that the applicant wants to be accommodating, but it is not a desire that they voted. The limitation they have is trying to fulfil something that is not on their property and is outside of their control. Chairman Gaynor thought it seems like a hardship. He asked Mr. Baugh to share again how far the other bridge would be. Mr. Baugh responded that the right side, east of them is an existing bridge. The new one is on the other end of the site. There is another one about 2,000 feet away, further west. Chairman Gaynor stated that he would support striking that. He asked to have the stipulations shown again. Planning Commission Hearing APPROVED – March 7, 2024 Page 105 of 116 Ms. Escolar pointed out Stipulation No. 37. Staff does have it struck out. She stated, “and walls” is struck out. Chairman Gaynor stated that he is fine with, “PROPORTIONATE SHARE OF FUNDING.” He called on Mr. Trent Marchuk to come up and speak in favor. Mr. Baugh stated that Mr. Marchuk left earlier, around 7:00 p.m., but he wanted Mr. Baugh to say that he put his comments in email to Ms. Escolar. Ms. Escolar stated that Mr. Marchuk did send an email just after 5:00 p.m. today, asking for some additional updates to the stipulations. She passed around the stipulations to the Commission members and stated that staff does not have concerns with any of the requested updates, except the last one with the approval part in Stipulation No. 35, because it deviates from the standard Planning Hearing Officer (PHO) process. Chairman Gaynor asked who sent this document. He would read it, however, he did not like receiving things at 5:00 p.m., on the day of the hearing. Ms. Escolar stated that Mr. Marchuk asked that Stipulation No. 30, which has been updated as Stipulation No. 29, in the memo, “AND 50”, be added, in reference to the lot number. That would be lots 28 through 39, and 50. Staff has no concerns with that. Mr. Baugh offered to explain for the Chairman. Chairman Gaynor asked Ms. Escolar to continue reading. Ms. Escolar stated that the next request was related to Stipulation No. 34, which has been updated to Stipulation No. 33. This is related to the pedestrian bridge. It adds, “The developer shall undertake reasonable efforts to work with SRP (Salt River Project) to FUND AND install…”, (adding the “fund and” part). Lastly, Stipulation No. 37, which has been updated to Stipulation No. 35 is asking for the planning hearing officer hearing process include review “AND APPROVAL” by the South Mountain Village. Ms. Escolar stated that typically the standard stipulation for PHO just includes review by the Village, and not approval. It is really semantics because they are a recommending body. Chairman Gaynor asked if Mr. Baugh was comfortable with these changes. Mr. Baugh stated that he was okay. Planning Commission Hearing APPROVED – March 7, 2024 Page 106 of 116 Acting Vice-Chairman Boyd stated that he was not comfortable putting on new stipulations that came in at 5:00 p.m. on the day of the hearing that he has not had the chance to review. He is already on the verge of being a no, from his comfortability with the number of stipulations that are going on a small subdivision and residential areas. This is getting to be a bit ridiculous, the amount we are going through. He thought that the proponent may be better suited bringing these up to Council where they can very easily add them on if they are well-suited at that time. Commissioner Matthews asked if the Chair was entertaining a motion at this time. Chairman Gaynor asked him to proceed. Commissioner Matthews made a MOTION to approve Z-104-23-8, per the staff memo dated March 6, 2024 with the corollary that Stipulation No. 33 in that staff memo be stricken entirely. Acting Vice-Chairman Boyd asked about Stipulation No. 31. Commissioner Hu asked to make a comment. Commissioner Matthews apologized and stated that he would reword his motion. Commissioner Matthews made a MOTION to approve Z-104-23-8, per the staff memo dated March 6, 2024 with the noted revisions in Stipulation No. 31, regarding “ITS PROPORTIONATE SHARE OF”, with Stipulation No. 33 completely stricken, and with “and walls” stricken in Stipulation No. 37. Commissioner Gorraiz SECONDED the motion. Ms. Escolar asked for confirmation. She asked Commissioner Matthews if he asked for the deletion of Stipulation No. 33 or just the update to strike out “and maintain”. Commissioner Matthews stated, regarding Stipulation No.33, the motion was to strike the entirety of Stipulation No. 33. Ms. Escolar asked, him to confirm his motion for Stipulation No. 37. Commissioner Matthews responded, just striking the “and walls”. Ms. Escolar stated that is already reflected in the memos. She stated the motion should be fine. Planning Commission Hearing APPROVED – March 7, 2024 Page 107 of 116 Commissioner Hu commented on Stipulation No. 33, on the memo. Although she agreed that this is not an enforceable stipulation or a challenging one, as a resident of South Mountain, often when they walk around the canal having this pedestrian bridge and having good faith of working with a developer and the community desire to create more walkability and access around a nice multi-use trail, is something very desirable. She hoped that the developer would, in good faith, continue to work with the neighborhood and provide amenities to this area. Commissioner Matthew shared a quick comment to clarify his reasoning for striking Stipulation No. 33. Typically, they try to tie infrastructure improvements like this to the impact that the developer is having. He does not see that connection here necessitating, similar to the traffic light, that the developer would cause such pedestrian traffic to necessitate a bridge at this location. There being no further discussion, Chairman Gaynor called for a vote and the MOTION Passed 8-0 (Busching absent). Stipulations: 1. Tracts “C”, “H”, “I”, and “G”, as generally depicted on the site plan date stamped January 17, 2024, shall be reserved for open space, as modified by the following stipulations and approved by the Planning and Development Department. 2. The undisturbed hillside area (above 10% per the approved Slope Analysis) shall remain undisturbed and be dedicated with a preservation easement except for Lot 27 and development of private accessways as generally depicted on the site plan date stamped January 17, 2024, as approved by the Planning and Development Department. 3. The existing home on Lot 27 shall remain and any improvements to this lot shall be reviewed and approved through a Hillside/Grading and Drainage Plan by the Planning and Development Department. 4. A physical feature (such as retaining wall, rock wall, etc.) shall be provided along the west and south portions of Tract "J", as generally depicted on the site plan date stamped January 17, 2024, to protect the undisturbed hillside area, as approved by the Planning and Development Department. 5. A minimum of three distinct exterior accent materials for each required standard plan within the subdivision shall be provided, as approved by the Planning and Development Department. 6.
