●
The proposed rezoning is incompatible with the existing and planned land uses in
the vicinity. The subject site is mostly designated as Residential 3.5 to 5 dwelling
units per acre on the General Plan Land Use Map, which reflects the
predominant character of the area. The proposed CP/GCP zoning would allow
industrial and commercial uses that are more intensive and intrusive than the
current and future residential uses. The proposed rezoning would also require a
General Plan Land Use Map amendment, which would undermine the public
input and vision that went into the creation of the General Plan.
●
The proposed rezoning would adversely affect the traffic, safety, and quality of
life of the nearby residents. The proposed flex commerce park general
commerce park buildings would generate a significant amount of traffic, noise,
light, and air pollution, especially from the large warehouse building north of the
street. The traffic would worsen the already congested conditions on 67th
Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road, and create safety hazards for pedestrians,
bicyclists, and school children. The noise, light, and air pollution would disturb the
peace and tranquility of the adjacent neighborhoods, and would adverse impact
the health of the residents, especially our most vulnerable populations.
●
The proposed rezoning would conflict with the goals and policies of the Estrella
Village Core Plan and the Estrella Village Arterial Life Cycle Program. The
Estrella Village Core Plan aims to preserve and enhance the existing residential
areas, promote compatible and quality development, and foster a sense of
community and identity. The Estrella Village Arterial Life Cycle Program seeks to
improve the appearance, function, and safety of the arterial streets, and create
attractive and pedestrian-friendly corridors. The proposed rezoning would
contradict these objectives by introducing incompatible and low-quality
development, eroding the community and identity of the area, and degrading the
appearance, function, and safety of the arterial streets.
●
The proposed rezoning would disregard the staff’s recommendation of not
conforming to the site plan due to the Durango Street alignment. The Durango
Street alignment is a critical component of the Estrella Village Arterial Life Cycle
Program, which aims to improve the connectivity and mobility of the area. The
proposed public street would interfere with the Durango Street alignment and
create confusion and inefficiency for the traffic flow and access. The proposed
rezoning would also ignore the staff’s recommendation of providing shaded

Opposition to Z-8-24-7
February 15, 2024
Dear Estrella Village Planning Committee 
and Planning Commission,
I am writing to express my strong opposition to the request from Property Reserve 
Arizona, LLC to rezone 112.32 acres located approximately 1,170 feet north of the 
northwest corner of 67th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road from RE-35 and R1-8 to 
CP/GCP. I am concerned about the negative impacts of the proposed flex commerce 
park general commerce park buildings on the surrounding area
My reasons for opposition are as follows:

employee resting areas, which are essential for the health and comfort of the 
workers in the hot and arid climate of Phoenix.
●
The proposed rezoning would violate the Estrella Village Plan’s goals and 
objectives of orderly growth, identifiable village core, strong residential 
neighborhoods, variety of homes and jobs, and consistent streetscapes and trail 
linkages. The proposed CP/GCP zoning would allow industrial and commercial 
uses that are out of scale and character with the existing and planned residential 
uses in the vicinity. 
●
Approval of the proposed rezoning would also undermine the identity and 
cohesion of the Estrella Village by introducing a large and incompatible 
development that would dominate the landscape and create visual and physical 
barriers. The proposed rezoning would also fail to provide a variety of homes and 
jobs that would meet the diverse needs and preferences of the residents and 
workers in the area. 
For these reasons, I urge you to disapprove the proposed rezoning and the associated 
General Plan Land Use Map amendment. I believe that the subject site should remain 
as RE-35 and R1-8, and be developed in a manner that is consistent and compatible 
with the surrounding residential uses and the General Plan. I appreciate your service 
and attention to this matter.
Sincerely, 
Dan Penton
