TigerMountain Foundation   |   3146 E Wier Avenue, Suite 31   |   Phoenix, AZ 85040 
April 21, 2020 
 
Phoenix City Council 
200 West Washington Street 
Phoenix, AZ 85003 
 
 
Re:  
Letter of Support for the Proximity at Baseline, Case No. Z-67-19 
 
Honorable Mayor and City Council:  
 
 
TigerMountain Foundation, a South Phoenix-based nonprofit corporation, is pleased to submit this letter 
of support for Avenue North’s proposed multi-family residential project, otherwise known as “Proximity at 
Baseline”, to be located at 18th & Baseline Road within the South Mountain Village. 
 
 As you may know, TigerMountain Foundation seeks to empower the people of South Phoenix by 
building flourishing community gardens and through our multi-ethnic and inter-generational Garden and 
Landscape/Agriscaping Initiatives. We mentor participants through an active and healthy eating lifestyle, a 
Personal Strategy Roadmap that encourages completion of goals and transitions folks into workforce 
development skills that prepare them to earn a living wage. 
  
In partnership with several local and national partners, we have implemented two (2) community 
gardens within the South Mountain Village; (i) Spaces of Opportunity located at Vineyard Road and 15th 
Avenue; and, (ii) Garden of Tomorrow located at 18th Place and Broadway Road. Among other objectives, these 
gardens seek to provide healthy, affordable, accessible food and promote the roots of our diverse South 
Mountain Village culture. 
 
We have had an opportunity to meet with the applicant and to learn about the proposed project, which 
will include a resident garden. In addition to all of the objectives that our organization would seek to achieve 
(i.e. access to healthy food), the proposed resident garden amenity is a unique opportunity.  This will provide 
the project residents with a central and meaningful gathering place that encourages a sense of community and 
pride. Through our joint partnership and unique private development meets nonprofit organization concept, we 
know this can be a “Best practice” model for other future development to follow as well. 
 
In summary, the proposed resident garden provides a unique opportunity to instill a sense of place, 
create meaningful access to healthy food and promote active lifestyles. The goals for the Ave North resident 
garden are well aligned with our goals and objectives for the larger South Phoenix community. We believe that 
this project will not only be a great addition to the South Mountain Village but that there is a great opportunity 
for other partnerships to join and align and strengthen the overall community. 
 
For these reasons, we strongly support the project. Thank you for your time and consideration of this 
letter and please feel free to contact me should you have any questions. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Sincerely, 
 
Darren J. Chapman, CEO - Founder - TigerMountain Foundation
