A RESOLUTION FINDING THE EXISTENCE OF A BLIGHTED 
AREA IN THE CITY OF PHOENIX AND DECLARING THE 
NECESSITY FOR THE 69TH & THOMAS REDEVELOPMENT 
AREA.  
 
 
 
 
WHEREAS, the provisions of Arizona Revised Statutes § 36-1471 et seq., 
provide for redevelopment of areas within municipalities; and  
 
 
 
WHEREAS, such statutes require certain findings be made by the 
governing body of a municipality prior to the exercise of the powers granted hereby; and 
  
 
 
WHEREAS, at the southwest corner of 69th Avenue and Thomas Road a 
comprehensive study of the site’s current land use, building and neighborhood 
maintenance ordinance, and incidence of fire and crime was conducted and compiled in 
the 69th & Thomas Redevelopment Study Area report  
 
 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE 
CITY OF PHOENIX as follows: 
 
SECTION 1. The Council finds that the following blight conditions are 
present, either singly or in combination, on a predominance of the site: 
a. There are unsafe and unsanitary conditions that relate to the 
condition of the property on the site;  
b. There is a dominance of defective or inadequate street layout within 
the site;

-2-                                       Resolution   
 
 
c. There is a faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy, accessibility 
or usefulness;  
d. There are improper or obsolete subdivision platting; and, 
e. There are conditions, that endanger life or property by fire, criminal 
activity and other causes;  
f. That there is deterioration of sites and other improvements. 
These factors retard the provision of housing accommodations, constitute an 
economic and social liability, and are a menace to the public health, safety, morals or 
welfare in their present state and use. Individually or in combination, these conditions 
substantially impair or arrest the redevelopment of the site and impact sound growth of 
the City of Phoenix.  
SECTON 2. The Council finds that the redevelopment of the site is 
necessary in the interest of public health, safety morals or welfare of the residents of 
the City of Phoenix. 
PASSED by the Council of the City of Phoenix this 5th day of March 2025.
