Re: Planned Unit Development Amendment Request Z-27-A-11 
Date: 10/25/2020 
Since 1971 the Alwun House has fostered community involvement, arts education, and provided 
leadership in the arts community in the heart of Phoenix.  As a community organization, the Alwun 
House has provided a sense of place and belonging to multiple generations of Phoenix artists through 
various programming initiatives.  As the needs of a community change and evolve-so must the 
organizations which serve these communities. 
The Alwun House is currently requesting an amendment to a Planned Unit Development.  The requested 
amendment would allow the Alwun House to host food trucks as well as harvest and sell food items at 
their current location.  The Midtown Neighborhood Association (MNA) formally announces their support 
for the amendment proposed to the City of Phoenix Planning and Development Department.  Approval 
of this amendment will allow the Alwun House to increase community engagement, broaden their 
outreach and impact, as well as meeting the basic food needs of urban residents who lack access to 
transportation to food sources.   
Arts are an invaluable asset to all communities.  The Alwun House has pioneered arts engagement in 
urban, downtown Phoenix and has made a lasting impact on the community which it serves.  Approval 
of this requested amendment will allow the Alwun House to continue these efforts at a time when they 
are needed most by area residents and the Phoenix arts community. 
Sincerely, 
Susan Thompson 
MNA President

I wanted to express my support for Application  
Z‐27‐A‐11‐8, (Alwun House PUD).  This is Item 7 on the November 5 Agenda. 
  
For decades, Alwun House has had an incredibly positive impact on the Downtown Phoenix Arts Community,  and our 
City as a whole. 
  
They helped revitalize a previously neglected neighborhood, and they have always supported our community. 
  
Through their actions and behavior, they have earned the right to expand what they offer to their patrons. 
  
Thanks
