I'm strongly in support of the community and the overlay that is currently in place. The City has invested well over 50 million dollars in the revitalization of this community. Former councilman Calvin Goode, Cody Williams and myself have actively been involved in this revitalization. Starting from neighborhood clean-ups to providing quality affordable housing. We've witnessed this area go from a crime infested drug area and "hot spot" crime area to a thriving community. The residents in this community are dedicated concerned citizens and their hard work shouldn't be ignored by any dismantling of the overlay protecting their community. Former Councilwoman now Mayor kate Gallegos has also been involved in this revitalization.

The Community Excellence Project does not support Ms. Kenia Connor's Application No. Z-SP-2-20 and Z-SP2-20-8 to amend zoning ordinance for the northwest corner of 25th street and Broadway (Note: Address in current application is 45th & Broadway - which is a wrong address). Mr. Stephens also distributed a public notice for a virtual meeting via phone for May 1, 9 am at 602- 277-1187. I called the number numerous times and was required to leave a message. During my attempts to connect, I received a message from Ms. Brunson stating the communication system could only accommodate 6-8 calls. Thus, I along with others that contacted me (Ms. Betty Ware, Pastor Trotter) were not able to connect for a discussion with Mr. Stephens or Ms. Connor. When the initial request was submitted in 2019, residents in the South Phoenix Village community along with Community Excellence Project submitted a written notice of disapproval of the rezoning request to the South Mountain Village Planning (SMVP) Committee that was conveyed by staff of the City of Phoenix Planning and Development Department to SMVP Committee (see attached minutes of SMVP Committee) in October and the Planning Commission in November 2019. Ms. Brunson provided a presentation at the SMVP Committee and provided petitions signed by residents located in the South Phoenix Village and Target Area B community. The SMVP did not approve the request, however the Planning Commission approved the request. This request was forwarded to the City Council. Prior to the scheduled City Council meeting representatives of South Phoenix Village, Target Area B and Community Excellence Project met with the Council District 8 office to discuss this request. Councilman Garcia heard their concerns and a decision was made to not support the request for rezoning. Once Mr. Stephens and Ms. Connor were informed, the request was pulled from the Council agenda. However, the residents were informed that the owner can resubmit the request. Thus, the reason for a second submittal of the request for rezoning of the Overlay District zoning. According to City of Phoenix Zoning Ordinance - Section 660. Four Corners Overlay District, the following information is provided: [ ] A. Purpose and Intent. The purpose for the overlay is to formalize and define development standards to aid in the development and planning of projects within the historic section of the City known as the Four Corners. The goal is to create a pedestrian friendly environment and tie the Four Corners at the intersection of 24th Street and Broadway Road together through unique design elements. It is intended to provide the Four Corners with new and distinct neighborhood 2 [phoenix.municipal.codes] commercial developments that will define and unify the community and enhance the gateway to the South Mountain Village and the redevelopment areas of Target Area B and South Phoenix Village. B. Applicability. This overlay applies to lands off each of the Four Corners of 24th Street and Broadway Road described as south of Pueblo Avenue between 23rd and 25 Streets, south to the alley [phoenix.municipal.codes] between Corona and Marguerite Avenues from 25th to 24th Streets and including an irregular shaped parcel [phoenix.municipal.codes] extending approximately 1,170 feet south and 1,040 feet west of the southwest corner of 24th Street and Broadway Road. The district also includes those additional lots [phoenix.municipal.codes] fronting onto Broadway Road to 28th Street on the south side and 350 feet east of 28th Street on the north side. C. Special Permit Uses. The Four Corners Overlay District is established to encourage the development of neighborhood [phoenix.municipal.codes] serving retail uses and limited community serving uses. Uses listed in the underlying commercial district are permitted except that certain uses and the sale of certain products will be permitted only subject to a special permit approval in accordance with Section 504.1 [phoenix.municipal.codes]. These include: Mortuary and many other types of uses (i.e., Adult bookstores [phoenix.municipal.codes] or live entertainment establishments; Automobiles, trucks, motorcycles and tractors; Blood banks and plasma centers; Boarding house; Chemicals - sales and/or storage as the primary use; Commercial swimming pool, outdoor as a primary use; Community residence center; Drugs - storage [phoenix.municipal.codes] as the primary use; Farm implements and machinery; Feed stores, retail and sales offices; Gas stations and/or retail store that includes sales of vehicular fuel; Group home; Hotels [phoenix.municipal.codes] and motels [phoenix.municipal.codes]; Laboratories, testing and research; Lawn mower repair shops [phoenix.municipal.codes]; Machinery, construction or vehicular, repairing, distribution and supplies; Milling equipment sales, repair and distribution; Nursing homes; Outdoor sales [phoenix.municipal.codes] and/or displays; Paint, painting equipment and supplies greater than 5,000 sq. ft.; Pawn shops [phoenix.municipal.codes]; Playground equipment - outside sales; Pool and billiard halls as a primary use; Propane equipment distribution and supplies; Public utility service yards [phoenix.municipal.codes]; Sales of alcoholic beverages; Sales of guns and ammunition;Sales of tobacco as the primary use; Sales of tools as the primary use; Sightseeing tours, garages, and depots; Sign [phoenix.municipal.codes] painters shops [phoenix.municipal.codes]; Taxicab garages; Vehicle repair not to exceed 5,000 sq. ft. in conjunction with a retail use; vehicle storage; and window glass installation shops). Section 550 further states procedure to apply for a special permit is as follows: Procedure: Special permit—An application for a special permit shall be forwarded to the Target Area B Advisory Committee and the Community Excellence Project Board for their review and recommendation prior to review by the South Mountain Village Planning Committee. The support from the City of Phoenix has contributed to the revitalization of South Phoenix Village. Over $50 million dollars has been invested in major neighborhood infrastructure for this community. It is imperative that decisions made continue to enhance this area and attract the appropriate businesses and services to support the redevelopment and conceptual plans approved by the City of Phoenix. It is for this reason, we are respectfully requesting you to inform the South Mountain Village Planning Committee, City of Phoenix Planning Commission, Mayor and City Council of our opposition to approval of Ms. Kenia Connor's Application No. Z-SP-2-20 and Z-SP-2-20-8 at their upcoming meetings that will include this issue on their Agenda. Please provide me the date, time and contact information for each meeting once they are scheduled. Thank you. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, 3 Gail Q.

I also worry about the chemicals used in embalming and bodily fluid wastes that would enter the existing sewer system. I humbly urge you to deny this permit.
