PROPOSAL 
4. 
Site Plan 
The proposal is for a 
20-lot subdivision.  
The requested R1-
10 zoning district 
allows for 16 units, 
and up to 20 units 
with a density 
bonus. To achieve 
20 units the 
development will 
need 90 bonus 
points, the 
development 
proposes to 
achieve the 90 
bonus points 
through the 
provision of detached sidewalks, enhanced landscaping, additional open space, 
enhanced architectural design, and entry monuments. The proposed bonus points 
will be reviewed through the development review process.

The conceptual site plan, attached as an exhibit, depicts the site layout including 
the location of each lot, the open space areas, proposed lot widths, proposed lot 
depths, the connection to the existing subdivision to the north, and pedestrian 
circulation. The site will have access to Baseline Road through the subdivision to 
the north. A temporary cul-de-sac will be constructed at the southern portion of the 
site until a future connection to South Mountain Avenue is constructed. 
 
To ensure compatibility with the surrounding area and the Rio Montaña Area Plan, 
staff recommends Stipulation No. 1 to require that the site plan and landscape plan 
for future development of the site be reviewed and approved by the Planning 
Hearing Officer through the public hearing process, including review by the South 
Mountain Village Planning Committee. 
 
 
5. 
Conceptual Building Elevations  
The conceptual building elevations and renderings, attached as an exhibit, feature 
two, one-story and two, two-story elevations. Each elevation highlights four-sided 
architecture and a diverse mix of building materials. The designs incorporate 
enhanced architectural variation that is needed to earn the necessary bonus points 
to achieve the proposed density. Staff recommends Stipulation No. 2 to require 
that the building elevations for future development of the site be reviewed and 
approved by the Planning Hearing Officer through the public hearing process, 
including review by the South Mountain Village Planning Committee.

STUDIES AND POLICIES 
6. 
Rio Montaña Area Plan: 
The Rio Montaña Area Plan 
encourages preservation of 
the rural character of the 
area and incorporates 
transition zones to protect 
desert and open space 
areas. The plan also 
encourages pedestrian and 
equestrian activities through 
a network of trails and 
aspires to develop a sense of 
community while 
encouraging investment in 
the community. 
 
The Rio Montaña Area Plan intended to accomplish this vision through seven goals 
that include: promoting balanced, high quality development; protecting and 
improving neighborhoods through maintenance, rehabilitation and infill projects; 
keeping a distinctive character that reflects the diversity in its equestrian heritage, 
culture, history and architecture; protecting the rural character, the Sonoran Desert 
and the riparian potential of the Rio Salado Habitat Restoration Project; promoting 
future business development and economic growth; developing the tourism 
industry through a wide range of opportunities; and providing a variety of 
transportation options. 
 
This site is located in the center of the Rio Montaña Area Plan boundaries in an 
area with a mix of rural residential neighborhoods, single-family subdivisions, 
commercial, and agricultural uses. The development of this vacant parcel will 
further the Rio Montaña Area Plan goal of promoting infill projects.  
 
The proposal will further address design and pedestrian connectivity goals by 
providing detached sidewalks within the development, entry monuments, enhanced 
landscaping, and enhanced building elevations. These improvements will be 
required to earn the necessary bonus points to achieve the proposed density. 
 
Additionally, to ensure the development is compatible with the Rio Montaña Area 
Plan design goals, Stipulation Nos. 1 and 2 require that the site plan, landscape 
plan, and elevations for future development of the site be reviewed and approved

Staff Report: Z-58-24-8

by the Planning Hearing Officer through the public hearing process, including 
review by the South Mountain Village Planning Committee 
 
Other design elements of the Rio Montaña Area Plan will be addressed through the 
design guidelines of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance in Chapter 5, Section 507 Tab. 
A (Guidelines for Design Review). 
 
 
7. 
Housing Phoenix Plan:  
In June 2020, the Phoenix City Council approved the Housing Phoenix Plan. This 
Plan contains policy initiatives for the development and preservation of housing 
with the vision of creating a stronger and more vibrant Phoenix through increased 
housing options for residents at all income levels and family sizes.  Phoenix’s rapid 
population growth and housing underproduction has led to a need for over 163,000 
new housing units. Current shortages of housing supply relative to demand are a 
primary reason why housing costs are increasing.  
 
The proposed development supports the Plan’s goal of preserving or creating 
50,000 housing units by 2030 by providing housing that will address the supply 
shortage at a more rapid pace while using vacant or underutilized land in a more 
sustainable fashion. 
 
 
8. 
Phoenix Climate Action Plan 
In October 2021, the Phoenix City Council approved the Climate Action Plan. The 
Climate Action Plan will serve as a long-term plan to achieve greenhouse gas 
emissions reductions and resiliency goals from local operations and community 
activities as well as prepare for the impacts of climate change. This plan contains 
policy and initiatives regarding stationary energy, transportation, waste 
management, air quality, local food systems, heat, and water. Goal W2 (Water), 
Action W2.4, pertains to the implementation of the Greater Phoenix Metro Green 
Infrastructure (GI) and Low Impact Development Details for Alternative Stormwater 
Management to benefit the environment, promote water conservation, reduce 
urban heat, improve the public health, and create additional green spaces. This 
goal is addressed in Stipulation No. 8, which requires a minimum of two GI 
techniques for stormwater management to be implemented in this development. 
 
 
9. 
Conservation Measures for New Development: 
In June 2023, the Phoenix City Council adopted the Conservation Measures for 
New Development policy as part of a resolution addressing the future water 
consumption of new development (Resolution 22129). This resolution addresses 
the future water consumption of new development to support one of the City’s Five 
Core Values in the General Plan which calls for Phoenix to - Build the Sustainable 
Desert City. The Conservation Measures for New Development policy includes

Staff Report: Z-58-24-8 
June 25, 2024 
Page 9 of 13 
 
 
 
 
direction to develop standards for consideration as stipulations for all rezoning 
cases that will address best practices related to water usage in nine specific 
categories. This is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 3 through 10. 
 
 
10. Tree and Shade Master Plan:  
The Tree and Shade Master Plan encourages treating the urban forest as 
infrastructure to ensure the trees are an integral part of the City’s planning and 
development process. Sidewalks on the street frontage should be detached from 
the curb to allow trees to be planted on both sides of the sidewalk to provide 
thermal comfort for pedestrians and to reduce the urban heat island effect. The 
proposal will create a comfortable streetscape environment with enhanced 
landscaping and shaded, detached sidewalks within the development. These 
improvements will be required to earn the necessary bonus points to achieve the 
proposed density. 
 
Additionally, to ensure the proposal provides adequet shading and landscaping, 
the landscape plan for future development, as stipulated, will be required to be 
reviewed and approved by the Planning Hearing Officer through the public hearing 
process, including review by the South Mountain Village Planning Committee. This 
is addressed in Stipulation No. 2. 
 
 
11. Complete Streets Guiding Principles:  
The City of Phoenix City Council adopted the Complete Streets Guiding Principles. 
The principles are intended to promote improvements that provide an accessible, 
safe, connected transportation system to include all modes, such as bicycles, 
pedestrians, transit, and vehicles.  
 
The proposed development, as stipulated, will support walking, bicycling, and 
transit-use by proposing sidewalks along both sides of 20th Lane. This is 
addressed in Stipulation No. 13. Additionally, to earn the necessary bonus points to 
achieve the proposed density, detached sidewalks within the development are 
proposed.  
 
 
12. Zero Waste Phoenix PHX:  
The City of Phoenix is committed to its waste diversion efforts and has set a goal to 
become a zero waste city, as part of the city’s overall 2050 Environmental 
Sustainability Goals. One of the ways Phoenix can achieve this is to improve and 
expand its recycling and other waste diversion programs.  
 
The city provides recycling service to single-family developments.

COMMUNITY CORRESONDENCE 
13. At the time this staff report was written, staff has received two letters of opposition 
regarding the request. Concerns include increased traffic congestion, developer’s 
credibility, public outreach, impact on community character and quality of life, and 
environmental and infrastructure strain. 
 
 
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 
14. The Street Transportation Department requested that right-of way be dedicated for 
20th Lane; a temporary turnaround easement be dedicated until 20th Lane is 
extended to the south, alternatively, a permanent turn around design may be 
considered and shall include a center landscaped island; and all improvements in 
the right-of-way be constructed with all required elements and to ADA standards. 
These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 11 through 13. 
 
 
15. The Aviation Department requested the airport disclosure stipulation. This is 
addressed in Stipulation No. 14. 
 
 
OTHER 
16. The site has not been identified as being archaeologically sensitive. However, in 
the event archaeological materials are encountered during construction, all ground 
disturbing activities must cease within 33-feet of the discovery and the City of 
Phoenix Archaeology Office must be notified immediately and allowed time to 
properly assess the materials. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 15. 
 
 
 
17. Staff has not received a completed form for the Waiver of Claims for Diminution in 
Value of Property under Proposition 207 (A.R.S. 12-1131 et seq.), as required by 
the rezoning application process. Therefore, a stipulation has been added to 
require the form be completed and submitted prior to final site plan approval. This 
is addressed in Stipulation No. 16. 
 
 
 
18. Development and use of the site are subject to all applicable codes and 
ordinances. Zoning approval does not negate other ordinance requirements. Other 
formal actions such as, but not limited to, zoning adjustments and abandonments 
may be required.

Case Z-58-24 : Opposition to Proposed Zoning Development Near Wyndham Square HOA
 
CAUTION: This email originated outside of the City of Phoenix.

email.  
    Report Suspicious     
 
Dear Members of the Phoenix Planning and Development Department, 
I am writing on behalf of the Wyndham Square HOA community, located near Baseline Rd and 20th Ln in ZIP 
code 85041, to express our strong opposition to the proposed development of 20 houses on the empty land 
adjacent to our community. As residents deeply invested in the well-being and safety of our neighborhood, we 
have several serious concerns regarding this development. 
1. Increased Traffic Congestion: 
Our community already faces significant congestion issues, particularly at the single exit onto Baseline Rd. The 
addition of 20 houses, each potentially contributing an average of 2-3 cars, would introduce approximately 50-
60 more vehicles to this already congested exit. This substantial increase in traffic volume would exacerbate 
existing delays, increase the risk of accidents, and create a hazardous environment for both drivers and 
pedestrians. 
2. Developer’s Credibility: 
The developer assigned to this project, DeLex Realty LLC, is not accredited by the Better Business Bureau 
(BBB) and currently holds an "F" rating. This poor rating raises serious concerns about the reliability and 
integrity of the developer, and their ability to responsibly manage a project of this scale. We question their 
capacity to meet the community’s standards and to follow through on commitments to mitigate negative 
impacts on our neighborhood. 
Evidence for #2: 
The applicant for the zoning is “John Fox”, with an email of “wscing@cox.net”  
 
A simple google search on “wscing@cox.net”, reveals that “DeLex Realty LLC” is the real estate broker.

3. Impact on Community Character and Quality of Life: 
The proposed development threatens to alter the character of our close-knit community. Our neighborhood 
values open spaces and the tranquility that comes with lower housing density. The introduction of 20 additional 
houses will not only strain our infrastructure but also detract from the peaceful environment that our residents 
cherish. Increased noise, reduced privacy, and potential overcrowding are all significant concerns that have not
been adequately addressed. 
4. Environmental and Infrastructure Strain: 
The proposed development will likely put additional strain on our local infrastructure, including water supply, 
sewage systems, and public services. Without significant upgrades to these systems, which have not been 
outlined by the developer, the quality of service for current residents could deteriorate. Furthermore, we are 
concerned about the environmental impact, including increased runoff and potential flooding issues, due to the 
reduction of permeable land. 
Given these substantial concerns, we urge the City of Phoenix Planning and Development Department to 
reconsider the approval of this zoning plan. The long-term welfare and safety of our community depend on 
responsible and sustainable development practices. We strongly believe that this proposed development does 
not align with these principles and would negatively impact our neighborhood. 
We appreciate your attention to our concerns and look forward to your thoughtful consideration of our position. 
Please feel free to contact me at charles.carbaj@gmail.com or 480-326-1981. 
Sincerely, 
Carlos Carbajal

Questions and comments concerning rezoning case Z-58-24 and the proposed
development

20th and South Mountain 24-4-18-SITE (6).pdf;
Hello Samuel,
 
My name is Jewel Clark. I am writing regarding rezoning case number Z-58-24. My husband
(cc'd on this email) and I own property at 2020 W. South Mountain Ave (APN # 300-17-004S).
Attached you will find what we received from the applicant for your convenience and cross-
reference.
 
The application for rezoning and development centers on a 4.5 acre parcel which we are
adjacent to. While these plans were received and stamped by the planning department in
November of 2023, the first meeting request the surrounding neighbors received concerning
this proposal was May 17. May 17, which was a Friday, notified us of a meeting to be held by
the developers on May 18. One day's notice. The letter was postmarked May 13, which was
Monday. I was unable to attend because of a standing appointment that Saturday but my
husband went. The developer had picked a pizza parlor for the meeting. Approximately 50
concerned neighbors attended but according to my husband it was practically impossible to
hear (this was not in a reserved room away from the rest of the guests) and it was difficult for
everyone to get close to the posters of the proposal for details. However, the neighbors were
able to communicate opposition to key elements of the proposal: increased traffic, density and
multiple stories.
 
Approximately 1 month later, the weekend of June 15, the developer, Mr. John Fox, held
another meeting with the neighbors. We received that letter on the 10th. It was postmarked 6-4-
24. Two of our neighbors whose properties are adjacent to this proposed development had not
received a letter notifying them of the meeting. These neighbors are very concerned about how
this proposal could affect their properties and would have been there had they known about it.

1/3

Some questions are:
1.  Is there a minimum notification time for developers to alert neighbors within the 600 ft
minimum for these kinds of meetings?
2. How is the 600’ notification zone measured for developers to build their contact list?
3. Should the ADU’s have been shown on the drawings they provided? They were not.
4. I may be misreading the plans attached but on the lot diagram page under Project
Description, it appears they list R1-10 density as 3.5-5 DU/AC. My understanding is that
R1-10 is 3-3.5, 4.5 with bonus. Do the submitted plans have to be correct or corrected to
be allowed to move forward?
5. Should there be updated plans at this point that are not designated “pre-application”? If
so, the neighbors have not seen anything different from the attachment enclosed.
6. Will this application also require a general plan amendment application?
7. My husband said the developers told the neighbors that approval for
developments/rezoning no longer went through the city council. According to what I could
find on the city website, rezoning requests, either opposed or unopposed were still heard
by the city council as the final arbiters. Is this incorrect?
I'd also like to let you know that according to my husband, the plan had not changed at all in the
month the developer had to incorporate neighbor concerns. They showed up with exactly the
same designs/plans. So, on two fronts, they don't appear to be listening to or trying to work with
any of the surrounding neighbors who would be affected by this development, and they said
they are planning on presenting this proposal to the South Mountain Village Planning
Committee at the next meeting on July 9.
 
Since the neighbors confronted them with the fact that nothing had changed, they said they
would look into making changes and call another meeting before the SMVPC meeting but I'm
concerned that yet again, the neighbors may not be notified in a timely enough fashion to
attend whatever meeting is scheduled.
 
So to recap the timeline:
1. Application submitted Nov. '23
2. First notice to neighbors mailed May 13, 2024 for a May 18 meeting. We got our letter the
day before and so did many others. Developers heard from approx. 50 people that density
was too high, 2 story designs were opposed and concern about increased traffic in an
existing development with only one entrance/egress point onto Baseline were paramount,
among other concerns.
3. One month later, June 15, developer held another meeting. Notification letter postmarked
6-4, received on 6-10, at least by us. Some neighbors confirmed they did not receive their
letters by the meeting date and missed the meeting. Plans had not changed at all.
Neighbors reiterated concerns.
4. Developers said they would look at some changes and call another meeting but said they
were still planning on moving the application through to the SMVPC July 9 meeting.

2/3

The main issues: density, traffic for the north neighborhood, multiple stories
The current plan is requesting a density of approximately 4.5, which means they are requesting
a bonus designation and I do not see where they are calling out enhancements per city
requirements to justify or earn the points for such density. In addition, this parcel is fully
bordered on the east by S-1 acre+ homes, which would be a tremendously incongruous jump in
density if approved. As well, there are no developments surrounding that are more than 3.5 R1-
10 in density, making 4.5 units per acre unprecedented for the immediate area.
 
This new development would be an extension of an existing development to the north with only
1 entrance/exit onto Baseline Rd for an already existing 54 houses. There is no way for this
addition to have another entrance/exit onto a different street because it is surrounded by
already developed land. There is no light at Baseline for the current neighborhood and the
residents say that getting in and out of their neighborhood is already extremely difficult. Are
there any safety requirements for the number of houses in a development to the number of
entrance/exits? It seems like this ratio should be a concern for the city in case of evacuation or
other emergencies.
The neighborhood around this parcel has been very active in working to keep housing height to
one story, per Rio Montana guidelines, which takes into account view obstruction to South
Mountain for existing neighbors. This is a priority for the northbound neighborhood and the
east-bordering homes who don't want 2-story houses right up on their property line looking
into their backyards. The precedent for all surrounding construction we have been involved with
for single family homes has been overwhelmingly single story and that is what all the neighbors
want.
 
Any information, clarification, links to specific city web pages, etc. you can provide is most
appreciated. Thank you!
 
Sincerely,
Jewel Clark
