A. Grantee is hereby granted the right to construct, reconstruct, replace, repair,
operate and maintain utility facilities together with appurtenant fixtures for use in
connection therewith for the transmission and distribution of utility and communication
facilities (collectively "Grantee Facilities") to, through, across and beyond Grantor's

egress to and along the Easement Premises for the purposes herein specified.
Grantee acknowledges and accepts that Grantee shall share the Easement Premises

and which do not interfere with or endanger any of the Grantee Facilities.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor shall not have the right to lower by more than
one foot or raise by more than two feet the surface grade of Easement Premises
without the prior written consent by the Grantee whose facilities will be affected by the
change of elevation.

Stipend Program (Ordinance S-51885) - Citywide
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to apply for, and accept, if
awarded, up to $70,000 from 100 Club of Arizona's Safety Enhancement Stipend
program to fund Police personal safety equipment. Further request authorization for
the City Treasurer to accept and for the City Controller to disburse all funds related to
this item.
Summary
The 100 Club of Arizona’s Safety Enhancement Stipend (SES) program was created in
2004 to provide assistance to public safety agencies for equipment to enhance the
safety of officers. The SES program allows agencies to obtain equipment and training
that is otherwise unavailable through other funding. The SES program allows agencies
to obtain crucial safety equipment to keep first responders safe.
Ballistic Vests for the Police Department
To ensure safety for the Neighborhood Enforcement Team within the Patrol Division at
the Police Department, access to up-to-date ballistic vests is crucial for their
protection. Ballistic vests are an integral piece of equipment for every patrol officer,
particularly those whose assignments focus on violent offender apprehension. This
critical piece of equipment ensures that these officers have the best chance at
surviving violent encounters with criminal actors armed with high caliber weapons. The
total investment for this initiative is estimated at $70,000.
The grant application is due by June 1, 2025. If approved, the Police Department will
move forward with submitting the application.
Contract Term
Term requirements are provided at the time of award; however, all funds will be
expended by the Police Department within one year of award acceptance.
Financial Impact
There is no financial impact to the City of Phoenix.

Museum (Ordinance S-51892) - Citywide
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to approve the transfer and
sale of Phoenix Police Tahoe 811390 to the Phoenix Police Museum, a 501c3
organization, for $1. This vehicle has operated as a Phoenix Police Tahoe since 2008
and it has reached the end of its serviceability. This request is in accordance with
Phoenix Police Department Operations Order 3.6.03. Further request authorization for
the City Treasurer to accept, and the City Controller to disburse, all funds related to
this item.
Summary
This vehicle entered service with the Phoenix Police Department in 2008 and has
served as a Patrol Tahoe for the past 17 years. The age of the vehicle along with its
mileage and service record requires the vehicle to be replaced in the Department's
fleet. The vehicle has been well maintained and is professional in appearance.
The Police Museum was established in 1993 with a vision of "preserving our past, to
inspire our future." This vision holds true today, as the museum continues to provide
historical education to the community, both local and international. Currently, the
Museum maintains a small fleet of four antique police vehicles, which are displayed at
the museum and special events and used for educational presentations.
This request is for authorization of the donation of Tahoe 811390 to the Phoenix Police
Museum. The Museum will affix museum marking to this vehicle so it is not confused
with an active vehicle in the Police Department's fleet, and the museum agrees to
accept all liability, maintenance, and insurance responsibilities for this vehicle.
Financial Impact
This vehicle will be donated to the Phoenix Police Museum for the cost of $1.

Roosevelt Street (Ordinance S-51882) - District 7
This report requests the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into the necessary
agreements and conveyances with Prairie School Apartments, LLC and its
representative Chip Halquist related to a Historic Preservation Demonstration Project
Grant of up to $133,176 to assist with the rehabilitation of the historic apartment
building located at 412 W. Roosevelt Street. Further request for the City Controller to
disburse all funds related to this item.
Summary
The historic apartment building located at 412 W. Roosevelt Street was constructed
around the year 1918 and listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 and
the Phoenix Historic Property Register in 1986 as part of the Roosevelt Historic
District. The property is considered an outstanding example of "Prairie School"
architecture and is one of the few extant apartment buildings constructed in Phoenix
immediately following World War I. The building is still being used as apartments today.
The current owner of 412 W. Roosevelt Street, Prairie School Apartments, LLC,
acquired the property in 2017, although the owner's representative Chip Halquist has
owned it since the early 1990s. Mr. Halquist submitted a Demonstration Project Grant
application to the Historic Preservation Office on January 30, 2025, requesting
assistance to rehabilitate the building for its continued use as apartments.
The project scope of work includes historic window rehabilitation, stucco repairs, wood
fascia and soffit repair, roof repair, door repair, interior and exterior stairway repair, attic
and crawlspace venting, and repainting. A total of $2,500 in eligible engineering costs
is also included. The grand total of eligible work items is $133,176.
Although the application shows that the City's share would be 50 percent of the cost of
the eligible work, the Historic Preservation Commission, at its February 10, 2025
meeting, revised the Demonstration Project Grant Program so the City will now pay
100 percent of eligible work items, provided that the owner provides a match using non
-eligible work items. The application indicates that there will be $747,000 worth of
additional work, so the match requirement has been met.
Staff recommends allocating the use of $133,176 in available Demonstration Project
Grant funds for the project.
If approved, the grant funds will be disbursed to the applicant on a reimbursement
basis. The applicant will be required to provide evidence of a dollar-for-dollar match.
Financial Impact
The requested amount, $133,176, is available from the 2023 General Obligation Bond
Program - Historic Preservation. In exchange for the grant funds, the City will receive a
30-year conservation easement on the property. The easement will require that the
property be preserved and that it be insured and maintained in good repair once
rehabilitation is completed.
Concurrence/Previous Council Action
The Historic Preservation Commission recommended approval of the grant funding on
March 17, 2025, by a vote of 5-0.
The Transportation, Infrastructure and Planning Subcommittee recommend approval of
this item on April 16, 2025, by a 4-0 vote.

LLC
Applicant/Representative: Benjamin Tate, Withey Morris Baugh, PLC
Staff Recommendation: Staff finds the submittal to meet the
requirements of Chapter 4, Section E.2.a.2 of
the Desert Ridge Specific Plan
Background
ZT 56TH STREET AT 101 NW OWNER LLC ("ZOM"), is the owner of approximately 20
acres of vacant land, referred to as Parcel G, located at the northwest corner of 56th
Street and the Loop 101 freeway, within Superblock 5, Development Parcel 5.A of the
Desert Ridge Specific Plan, which is the Desert View Village Primary Core. The
allowable uses are outlined in the Desert Ridge Specific Plan and generally follow the
permitted uses in the C-2 (Intermediate Commercial) zoning district. ZOM has
requested confirmation that their proposal meets the requirements found in Chapter 4,
Section E.2.a.2 of the Desert Ridge Specific Plan, which states that individual projects
with buildings that exceed four stories in height are subject to review by the Village
Planning Committee, Planning Commission and City Council.
Desert Ridge Specific Plan
The Desert Ridge Specific Plan was adopted in 1990 and encompasses approximately
5,700 acres in North Phoenix. The Arizona State Land Department owned all the land in
Desert Ridge and has auctioned off the land over time for residential, commercial and
commerce park development. Throughout the years, there have been amendments to
Staff Analysis: Desert Ridge Specific Plan – Superblock 5, Development Parcel 5.A.
March 21, 2025
the Desert Ridge Specific Plan, which range from basic clean-ups to larger density
shifts, and changes in uses. Chapter 4 of the Desert Ridge Specific Plan, which is the
subject of this request, was amended in 1998 to add additional requirements for the
floor area ratio (F.A.R.) for the mixture of uses in the Core. In addition, the amendment
added a requirement for public hearing review of buildings exceeding four stories in
height.
Superblock 5
Since the inception of the Desert Ridge Specific Plan in 1990, Superblock 5 has been
envisioned as the Primary Core of the Desert View Village. Superblock 5 includes three
separate development parcels – Development Parcel 5.A, Development Parcel 5.B, and
Development Parcel 5.C.
Development Parcel 5.A, the subject development parcel of this request, is bounded by
Deer Valley Drive to the north, 56th Street to the east, the Loop 101 freeway to the
south, and Tatum Boulevard to the west. Portions of Development Parcel 5.A have
developed over the years, including the Desert Ridge Marketplace and the High Street
development, which demonstrates appropriate massing and pedestrian-scale
development envisioned for the Core. ZOM is planning for development for one of the
remaining vacant parcels within Development Parcel 5.A. The main difference between
Development Parcel 5.A, Development Parcel 5.B, Development Parcel 5.C is that
Development Parcel 5.A is permitted to have a maximum building height of 140 feet,
given other conditions are met. The Desert Ridge Specific Plan addresses specific
development standards, such as floor area ratio, parking and pedestrian circulation.
Request
Chapter 4, Section E.2.a.2 of the Desert Ridge Specific Plan states that individual
parcels within Development Parcel 5.A shall be subject to review by the Village
Planning Committee, Planning Commission and City Council if the proposed building
height exceeds four stories. The review is limited to confirming that the proposed plans
are consistent with and meet the intentions of the Desert Ridge Specific Plan and the
Areas C and D General Plan. ZOM has requested confirmation that the submitted plans
for Parcel G meets the requirements of the above-mentioned section.
Findings
ZOM’s plans date stamped March 13, 2025 meet the provision in the Desert Ridge
Specific Plan found in Chapter 4, Section E.2.a.2.
1. The Desert Ridge Specific Plan will still regulate F.A.R., setbacks, pedestrian
circulation and vehicular circulation within the area, which will regulate the
intensity of proposed development.
Staff Analysis: Desert Ridge Specific Plan – Superblock 5, Development Parcel 5.A.
March 21, 2025
2. The intent behind the provision listed in Chapter 4, Section E.2.a.2 is that
appropriate massing and step backs are provided. The applicant is providing a
building height exhibit that illustrates step backs from public rights-of-way.
3. Development Parcel 5.A is the Desert View Village Primary Core where high-
density and high-intensity development is envisioned and encouraged. The
proposed height is appropriate given the location.
4. The proposal is consistent with Goal 1 and Goal 3 of the Peripheral Areas C and
D General Plan by concentrating higher-intensity development within the
designated Village Core and therefore focusing infrastructure investments to
achieve maximum benefit.
Recommendation
Staff is supportive of the applicant’s submittal date stamped March 13, 2025 and find
that they meet the requirements of Chapter 4, Section E.2.a.2. All development shall
adhere to the building heights and step backs shown on the building height exhibit.

Re: Parcel G Height Approval Request – Desert Ridge Development Parcel 5.A
Dear Sarah:
This request is being submitted on behalf of ZT 56TH STREET AT 101 NW FS OWNER LLC, and its successors and
assigns (“ZOM”), owner of approximately 20 acres of vacant land located at the northwest corner of 56 th Street and
Loop 101 in Phoenix, AZ (the “Property”) as shown on the Aerial Map attached at Tab 1. The Property is located
within Development Parcel 5.A of the Desert Ridge Specific Plan Area and is identified as Parcel G on the approved
Conceptual Parcel Site Plan for Development Parcel 5.A as illustrated in the Desert Ridge Specific Plan Area Map
and Approved CPSP at Tabs 2 and 3, respectively.
Pursuant to Development Parcel Regulations in Section D.5.A.3 of the Specific Plan, buildings in Development Parcel
5.A shall not exceed 140 feet. Chapter 4, Section E.2.a.2 of the Desert Ridge Specific Plan (the “Specific Plan”),
buildings within Development Parcel 5.A taller than four stories are subject to review by the Village Planning
Committee, Planning Commission and City Council. Per the Specific Plan, the scope of review is limited to confirming
that the proposed plans are consistent with and meet the intentions of the Desert Ridge Specific Plan and Areas C
and D General Plan. In the fall of 2020, Crown Realty and Development (“Crown”), Declarant in the Commercial Core
and owner of approximately 102 of the 155 total acres within Development Parcel 5.A, applied for and obtained
approval for buildings up to 140 feet on its properties within Development Parcel 5.A.
Consistent with the approvals obtained by Crown and the development standards and guidelines outlined in the
Specific Plan, ZOM is requesting approval to allow buildings up to 140 feet on the Property. As illustrated by the
enclosed plans, the height request observes the stepbacks and setbacks required by the Specific Plan. Moreover,
the height request is not a blanket approval – F.A.R., setbacks, pedestrian circulation, and vehicular circulation are
all regulated the Specific Plan and will ultimately dictate the intensity of the overall development of the Property.
Crown, as Commercial Core Declarant, has approved ZOM’s proposed building height request as indicated by the
proposed amendment to the CPSP attached here at Tab 4.
The exhibits illustrate two conceptual scenarios: 1) all buildings within the Property at 140 feet height limit (Proposed
Height Request - Page 6), and 2) the approved Azola at Desert Ridge multi-family project (“Azola”) on approximately
12 acres of the Property and buildings on the remaining 8 acres utilizing the 140-foot height limit (Current Proposed
Plan – Page 8). Although ZOM is currently moving forward with the Azola project, we are nonetheless seeking the

Background/Issues/Analysis
SUBJECT SITE
1. This request is to rezone 2.18 acres located at the southwest corner of Cave
Creek Road and Peoria Avenue from C-2 (Intermediate Commercial) to R-5
(Multifamily Residence District - Restricted Commercial) for multifamily
residential. The subject site is proposed to be developed in combination with the
area to the west for one multifamily residential building and associated parking
structure.
GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION
2. The subject site, as well as areas to the north, east and south are designated as
Commercial on the General Plan Land Use Map. To west is designated as
Residential 10 to 15 dwelling units per acre. To the north is designated
Residential 3.5 to 5 dwelling units per acre and Commercial. The proposal for R-
5 zoning is not consistent with the General Plan Land Use; however, a General
Plan Amendment is not required as the site is less than 10 acres.

ADOPTED AREA PLANS, STUDIES, AND POLICIES
7. Target Area F Redevelopment Plan:
Adopted January 1980 and amended February 1981 (Resolution No. 15576), the
Target Area F Redevelopment Plan encompasses approximately 800 acres of
the Sunnyslope area. The following map, taken from the Plan, includes what was
then a forward-looking Land Use Plan, which shows the subject site as being
designated as Community Commercial and adjacent to an area designated as
High-Density Multi-Family.
Staff Report: Z-164-24-3
February 12, 2025

While the Target Area F’s Land Use Plan designates the site as Community
Commercial, which would suggest the proposed rezone does not advance the
goals and policies of the Plan, Section III of the Target Area F Redevelopment
Plan also includes several Objectives, which include but are not limited to the
following:
1. Ensure the stability of existing viable residential areas and stabilize declining
residential neighborhoods by removing structurally substandard buildings and
blighting influences which act as a disincentive for private reinvestment.
3. Removal of impediments to land disposition and development through
assembly of land into reasonably sized and shaped parcels served by
improved public utilities.
5. Ensure the establishment of appropriate population densities and
concentrations that will contribute to the well-being of persons, neighborhoods
and preservation of the environment.
Staff Report: Z-164-24-3
February 12, 2025
9. Create a sense of community and neighborhood throughout the Target Area in
order to enhance its attractiveness as a place to live, work, and play.
The larger five-acre multifamily development that is associated with the proposed
rezone acts to redevelop the site in a manner that advances these objectives.
8. Housing Phoenix Plan:
In June 2020, the Phoenix City Council approved the Housing Phoenix Plan. This
Plan contains policy initiatives for the development and preservation of housing
with a vision of creating a stronger and more vibrant Phoenix through increased
housing options for residents at all income levels and family sizes. Phoenix’s
rapid population growth and housing underproduction has led to a need for over
163,000 new housing units. Current shortages of housing supply relative to
demand are a primary reason why housing costs are increasing. The proposed
development supports the Plan’s goal of preserving or creating 50,000 housing
units by 2030 by contributing to a variety of housing types that will address the
supply shortage at a more rapid pace while using vacant land in a more
sustainable fashion.
9. Complete Streets Guiding Principles:
The City of Phoenix City Council adopted the Complete Streets Guiding
Principles. The principles are intended to promote improvements that provide an
accessible, safe, connected transportation system to include all modes, such as
bicycles, pedestrians, transit, and vehicles. The proposed development, as
stipulated, will support walking, bicycling, and transit use by including the
following:
• Contrasting pavement for pedestrian crossings;
• Shaded, detached sidewalks along Peoria Avenue and Cave Creek Road;
• Bus bay and bus pad adjacent to the site;
• Bicycle infrastructure including guest bicycle parking, electrical charging
stations, and fix-it station;
• Shaded bicycle, pedestrian, and transit infrastructure.
These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, and 14.
10. Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan
The City of Phoenix adopted the Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan in 2014 to
guide the development of its Bikeway System and supportive infrastructure. The
Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan supports options for both short- and long-
term bicycle parking as a means of promoting bicyclist traffic to a variety of
destinations. Stipulation No.13 requires bicycle parking with supporting
Staff Report: Z-164-24-3
February 12, 2025
equipment, all to be installed per the requirements in the city’s Walkable Urban
(WU) Code.
11. Tree and Shade Master Plan
The Tree and Shade Master Plan has a goal of treating the urban forest as
infrastructure to ensure that trees are an integral part of the city’s planning and
development process. By investing in trees and the urban forest, the city can
reduce its carbon footprint, decrease energy costs, reduce storm water runoff,
increase biodiversity, address the urban heat island effect, clean the air, and
increase property values. In addition, trees can help to create walkable streets
and vibrant pedestrian places. Staff recommends robust tree planting standards
including:
• Landscape setbacks to be planted with 2-inch caliper shade trees at 20-feet
on center;
• The use of 2-inch caliper trees to achieve 75% shade for all detached
sidewalks;
• The use of shade structure, trees, or landscaping to achieve 75% shade at
bicycle, pedestrian, and transit infrastructure;
• Vegetating the surface parking lot with minimum 2-inch caliper trees to
achieve a minimum of 25 percent shade.
These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 2, 5, 7, 14, and 19.
12. Transportation Electrification Action Plan
In June 2022, the Phoenix City Council approved the Transportation
Electrification Action Plan. The current market desire for the electrification of
transportation is both a national and global phenomenon, fueled by a desire for
better air quality, a reduction in carbon emissions, and a reduction in vehicle
operating and maintenance costs. Businesses, governments and the public are
signaling strong future demand for electric vehicles (EVs), and many automobile
manufacturers have declared plans for a transition to fully electric offerings within
the coming decade. This Plan contains policy initiatives to prepare the City for a
future filled with more EVs, charging infrastructure and e-mobility equity, and
outlines a roadmap for a five-step plan to prepare for the EV infrastructure needs
of 280,000 EVs in Phoenix by 2030. One goal of the Plan, to accelerate public
adoption of electric vehicles through workplace, business, and multifamily
charging infrastructure, is to recommend a standard stipulation for rezoning
cases to provide EV charging infrastructure. This is addressed in Stipulation No.
12. Additionally, electric receptacles are required for electric bicycle charging per
Stipulation No. 13.c.
Staff Report: Z-164-24-3
February 12, 2025
13. Conservation Measures for New Development:
In June 2023, the Phoenix City Council adopted the Conservation Measures for
New Development policy as part of a resolution addressing the future water
consumption of new development (Resolution 22129). This resolution addresses
the future water consumption of new development to support one of the City’s
Five Core Values in the General Plan which calls for Phoenix to - Build the
Sustainable Desert City. The Conservation Measures for New Development
policy includes direction to develop standards for consideration as stipulations for
all rezoning cases that will address best practices related to water usage in nine
specific categories. This is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 15 through 19.
14. Phoenix Climate Action Plan:
In October 2021, the Phoenix City Council approved the Climate Action Plan.
The Climate Action Plan will serve as a long-term plan to achieve greenhouse
gas emission reductions and resiliency goals from local operations
and community activities as well as prepare for the impacts of climate change.
This plan contains policy and initiatives regarding stationary energy,
transportation, waste management, air quality, local food systems, heat, and
water. Goal W2 (Water), Action W2.4, pertains to the implementation of the
Greater Phoenix Green Infrastructure (GI) and Low Impact Development Details
for Alternative Stormwater Management to benefit the environment, promote
water conservation, reduce urban heat, improve the public health, and create
additional green spaces. This goal is addressed in Stipulation No. 18, which
requires a minimum of two GI techniques for stormwater management to be
implemented.

Four members of the public registered in support of this item, two wishing to speak.
STAFF PRESENTATION
Robert Kuhfuss, staff, displayed the aerial sketch map and identified the subject site.
Mr. Kuhfuss noted the requested zoning designation and summarized the surrounding
land uses to the north, west, east, and south. Mr. Kuhfuss stated that the proposed
multifamily development would occur within the larger five-acre site and that the area
being considered for rezoning was the two-acres located adjacent to Cave Creek
Road. Mr. Kuhfuss discussed the site plan and elevations. Mr. Kuhfuss provided the
staff findings, recommendations, and proposed stipulations.
APPLICATION PRESENTATION
Alan Beaudoin, representing the applicant with Norris Design, stated they conducted
an expensive outreach process and that they agree with all the proposed stipulations.
Mr. Beaudoin introduced his team and summarized the existing conditions of the site
noting the blighted conditions. Mr. Beaudoin displayed images of the site after the
buildings were razed and the existing wash was cleared. Mr. Beaudoin discussed the
historic pattern of strip commercial development along Cave Creek Road, the
adjacent multifamily zoning, and their desire to rezone the front portion of the larger
five-acre site to the same as the current zoning of the rear portion. Mr. Beaudoin
displayed the proposed site plan and noted the different accessways of the site. Mr.
Beaudoin concluded the presentation by displaying elevation renderings and

perspective drawings, and how the building would interact with the surrounding
properties.
QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE
Committee Member Steve Pamperin stated that he lived down the street from the
property and noted that the proposed four-story building was taller than anything in
the surrounding area, including a multifamily development north of the site.
Committee Member Pamperin asked why the proposal consisted of a four-story
building. Mr. Beaudoin stated that the majority of the site was zoned R-5, which
allowed for a maximum of four stories, and that the number of units is critically
important to the success of the plan. Mr. Beaudoin added that their proposal
eliminated possible high commuter commercial development while providing housing
that met R-5 development standards. Mr. Beaudoin stated that they had contemplated
rezoning the site to PUD but ultimately decided on a request for R-5 zoning. Mr.
Beaudoin noted that the Peoria Avenue frontage adjacent to the site has never been
improved and that this development will include right-of-way dedication and street
improvements on Peoria Avenue which will include a left turn lane and dedicated right
turn lane. Mr. Beaudoin added that street lights will also be installed, which will
address community concerns over lighting.
Committee Member Elizabeth Pérez-Pawloski stated that the proposed height will
drastically change the character of the area. Committee Member Pérez-Pawloski
reiterated the existing height established by other surrounding developments and
asked if there was a possibility to reconsider the height. Mr. Beaudoin noted that staff
had expressed the same concerns. Mr. Beaudoin noted that the proposed parking
structure was an important part of the proposal and that parking structures were very
expensive to construct. Mr. Beaudoin stated that the number of units and height
proposed would ensure revenue when compared to the cost of the parking structure.
Committee Member Pérez-Pawloski reiterated her concern for the character of the
community and added her concerns regarding safety on Cave Creek Road, Peoria
Avenue, and 7th Street. Committee Member Pérez-Pawloski stated that there is a lot
of congestion due to North Mountain, especially during the weekend, and voiced her
concern regarding additional congestion in the area. Mr. Beaudoin stated that their
main driveway would be located on Cave Creek Road and that a bus bay would also
be installed which would contribute to traffic safety. Committee Member Pérez-
Pawloski stated that she appreciated the streetlighting but noted that traffic
congestion is a concern. Mr. Beaudoin added that staff had drafted Stipulation No. 1
to ensure consistent architectural features that were compatible with the surrounding
buildings, and that Stipulation No. 1 was in direct response to maintaining community
character.
Committee Member Joshua Carmona asked how many units are proposed for the
development. Mr. Beaudoin noted that there were approximately 240 units.
Committee Member Carmona asked how many two- and three-bedroom units will be
available, and if there will be single units proposed. Mr. Beaudoin stated that further
evaluation was required to ultimately decide on the number of two- and three-
bedroom units. Mr. Beaudoin added that a market analysis would be needed to make

North Mountain Village Planning Committee
Meeting Summary

the determination. Mr. Beaudoin asked if the community had a request for the type of
units to share that with his team.
Committee Member Massimo Sommacampagna asked if the proposal will require
right-of-way dedication and improvements including a sidewalk for the southern
portion of Peoria Avenue and along the west side of the subject site. Mr. Beaudoin
confirmed that the Street Transportation Department requires a dedication of 30 feet
to build a collector street. Mr. Beaudoin added that an average collector street
consists of 40 feet of pavement measured from curb to curb, but the project will
provide more pavement width to allow for a right-turn only lane onto Cave Creek
Road. Mr. Beaudoin noted that the Street Transportation Department has added a
stipulation to require a six-foot-wide detached sidewalk with large caliper shade trees.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Germain Barnes stated that she was a resident of Pointe Tapatio and that she
owned a townhome south of Peoria Avenue and a residence north of Peoria Avenue.
Ms. Barnes added that she was a retired law enforcement lieutenant. Ms. Barnes
stated that the applicant presentation did not represent the neighborhood to the west,
and that this proposal will greatly affect the community. Ms. Barnes stated that most
of the streets in the area were not designed for through traffic and noted that when
there is a traffic accident on Cave Creek Road, law enforcement is required to guide
traffic onto Peoria Avenue causing congestion. Ms. Barnes added that her community
pays over 75,000 dollars annually for private law enforcement services due to the
high crime rates and that the proposal will increase the population by 20 percent in
the area, which will cause serious issues regarding crime and traffic.
Jimmy Marose noted that he lived in the Pointe Tapatio development for over 20
years and is currently on the homeowner’s association board. Mr. Marose stated that
he wrote an article on this proposal and added that the applicant had stated that they
were planning on applying for a height waiver. Mr. Marose noted that the applicant did
not have a total number of units because they were applying for the height waiver. Mr.
Marose stated that the proposed four-story building will block scenic views of the
surrounding townhome developments. Mr. Marose added that Peoria Avenue is only
two lanes and an increase in population will increase traffic on a two-way road. Mr.
Marose noted that the majority surrounding streets are privately owned or maintained
and could not support high traffic congestion. Mr. Marose requested the applicant to
reconsider the height and concluded his comment by stating that the applicant had
not reached out to the surrounding communities.
Megan Juracek stated that she was a resident on Peoria Avenue and that she was
not necessarily opposed to development and is thankful that someone is wanting to
develop the property. Ms. Juracek stated that she appreciated that the proposal was a
departure from all the commercial uses along Cave Creek Road but had some major
concerns. Ms. Juracek stated that she had the same concerns regarding traffic. Ms.
Juracek noted that she was part of the group of individuals that advocated for the
installation of speed bumps on Peoria Avenue to address the excessive speeding on
200 West Washington Street, 3rd Floor • Phoenix, Arizona 85003-1611 • (602) 262-6882 222

the road. Ms. Juracek reiterated that if Cave Creek Road is shut down, then traffic
floods into the neighboring communities to the point that residents cannot leave their
own driveways. Ms. Juracek added that 14th Street intersects Peoria Avenue close to
Cave Creek Road and that traffic backs up on 14th Street when trying to turn left onto
Peoria Avenue. Ms. Juracek stated that she was opposed to the density associated
with four stories as well as the major entrance being located on Peoria Avenue. Mr.
Kuhfuss asked for clarification as to whether Ms. Juracek was opposed or in favor.
Chair Fogelson indicated that the speaker card was in favor. Ms. Juracek stated that
she was in favor of development but with changes to the proposal.
Natalie Davenport stated that she was a resident of Palo Verde, located north of the
subject property. Ms. Davenport noted that she was in favor of the development and
that the proposal was a great change from all the commercial development along
Cave Creek Road. Ms. Davenport added that she was a supporter of additional
housing but had some concerns specific to this proposal. Ms. Davenport stated there
are severe traffic safety concerns at the intersection of Peoria Avenue and Cave
Creek Road and agreed that traffic has been filtering into the adjacent
neighborhoods. Ms. Davenport advised adding more major entrances and exits
directly onto Cave Creek Road. Ms. Davenport added that she had concerns about
the number of units because it would contribute to the traffic congestion in the area.
Ms. Davenport noted that the applicant and developer have been very communicative
with their neighborhood group. Ms. Davenport stated that there have been fatalities
on these roads where drivers drive at 90 miles per hour and requests support for
additional traffic controls.
Alison Moran stated that she had no relation to the developer’s representative by the
same name. Ms. Moran noted that she was the board president of a neighborhood
community north of Peoria Avenue. Ms. Moran added that she agreed with the
concerns of 14th Street and added that there were concerns with the intersection at
Desert Cove Avenue and Cave Creek Road. Ms. Moran noted that the intersection of
14th Avenue and Peoria Avenue was very congested and dangerous during peak
hours and added that she was an avid bike rider and voiced safety concerns when
turning left off Cave Creek Road onto Peoria Avenue due to the proposed additional
driveways. Ms. Moran voiced her support for development but noted there were
concerns regarding traffic and proposed height. Chair Fogelson asked for
clarification if Ms. Moran was in support or opposition. Ms. Moran stated that she was
opposed as proposed.
Pat Ford stated that she was in favor of rezoning the site and appreciated the
cleanup of the site but reiterated community concerns regarding traffic. Ms. Ford
noted that she was particularly concerned regarding 14th Street and Peoria Avenue
and stated that residents who live north of Peoria Avenue are forced to use 14th
Street to get to Peoria Avenue or Desert Cove Avenue to access Cave Creek Road.
Ms. Ford noted the limited accessways onto the arterial and stated that the distance
between Cave Creek Road and 14th Street is only 80 feet. Ms. Ford noted that
drivers turning left off 14th Avenue are in danger of drivers on Peoria Avenue and
Cave Creek Road. Ms. Ford added that the community has been advocating for a

traffic signal on Desert Cove Avenue and Cave Creek Road. Ms. Ford stated that she
was opposed to the proposed height because it would allow individuals to peer over
residents. Ms. Ford concluded her comments by stating that she supported
apartments or condos but was opposed to the height.
APPLICANT RESPONSE TO PUBLIC COMMENT
Mr. Beaudoin stated that they did not avoid conversations with the community. Mr.
Beaudoin noted that his team followed the notification requirements and hosted a
neighborhood meeting that was open to the public. Mr. Beaudoin added that no one
who was present at the neighborhood meeting voiced any concerns and that that was
reflected in their Citizen Participation Report. Mr. Beaudoin stated that they attended
a meeting with the Palo Verde Neighborhood and used their comments to modify the
proposal. Mr. Beaudoin encouraged members to reach out to him and his team. Mr.
Beaudoin noted that the misaligned streets, such as the short distance between 14th
Street and Cave Creek Road, occurred before the area was annexed into the City.
Mr. Beaudoin added that they were willing to work with the community to address
these concerns and work with the Street Transportation Department and Planning
and Development Department to explore solutions. Mr. Beaudoin stated that they
were not requesting a height and density waiver. Mr. Beaudoin noted that the R-5
zoning has been established for over 30 years and that the multifamily zoning
designation originated from the County. Mr. Beaudoin stated that the more eyes on
the street and within the community will help alleviate crime. Mr. Beaudoin noted that
more households create more buying power for businesses, restaurants, coffee
shops, etc. Mr. Beaudoin added that this development would be a step forward for the
community. Mr. Beaudoin reiterated that the proposed intensity is in response to the
existing R-5 zoning. Mr. Beaudoin stated that Peoria Avenue is designed as a
collector street, which is designed to feed traffic to arterial streets.
COMMITTEE DISCUSSION:
Committee Member Carmona stated that the site was already zoned R-5 which
would allow the applicant to develop two, three, or four stories by right. Committee
Member Carmona asked if the community would like to keep the site C-2 to limit the
height to two-stories in order to preserve views. Committee Member Carmona added
that any commercial development would also generate traffic and stated that while he
was in favor, he would like to see a solution to the traffic situation in the area.
Committee Member Pérez-Pawloski asked if the existing R-5 zoning allowed any
height the applicant wanted. Mr. Beaudoin noted that it would allow four stories or 48
feet. Committee Member Pérez-Pawloski asked if there was anything they could do,
as a recommending body, to cap density. Committee Member Pérez-Pawloski noted
that based on community input, they were not opposed to development, but rather the
density and height. Committee Member Pérez-Pawloski appreciated the extensive
outreach and asked if the applicant was willing to consider less units. Mr. Beaudoin
stated that the proposed parking garage will cost about 35,000 dollars per parking
space as it requires a lot of material and steel, and that the cost was still to be

determined. Mr. Beaudoin noted that he did not support arbitrarily reducing the
number of units without first having an in-depth analysis. Mr. Beaudoin asked if
reducing the height along Cave Creek Road would alleviate any concern and stated
that if the committee thought that reducing the height was appropriate, then that was
their prerogative. Mr. Beaudoin added that reducing the number of units arbitrarily
would be meaningless. Committee Member Pérez-Pawloski asked if the applicant
would then not be supportive of further discussions. Mr. Beaudoin stated that he could
not answer that because he did not know the number of units that would be removed.
Committee Member Pérez-Pawloski added that they have heard serious concerns
and noted that it seems that the applicant is not willing to have further discussions
with the community. Mr. Beaudoin stated that they might consider it but cannot decide
during this hearing because of the lack of analysis. Mr. Beaudoin added that if the
committee thought it was appropriate, then the committee could add the stipulation.
Committee Member Arick O’Hara asked if because the applicant is seeking a zone
change on the eastern two acres of the site, are they opening up the debate over the
entire five-acre site as opposed to if they left the site how it is, then the developer
could build whatever R-5 allowed and build commercial on the C-2 portion of the site.
Mr. Kuhfuss stated that the stipulations attached to the zoning case would only apply
to the area that is the subject of the zoning case and do not apply to the western three
acres of the site.
Committee Member Patrick Edwards stated that while the argument regarding
traffic was well intended, it was minimal because of the relative size of the property
that is the subject of the rezone. Committee Member Edwards noted that the site is
already zoned R-5 and a difference between 200 or 240 units is minimal when it
comes to traffic congestion. Committee Member Edwards stated that he was
empathetic to the property owners and the economics associated with the project and
added that he appreciated the parking garage. Committee Member Edwards added
that the alternative would be an undeveloped parcel that is an eyesore to the
community.
Committee Member Nadine Alauria noted that she traveled along Cave Creek Road
daily and agreed that more traffic signals are needed along the street. Committee
Member Alauria asked how the community could advocate and work with the city to
get more traffic lights in the area. Mr. Kuhfuss noted that that discussion would have
to involve the Street Transportation Department and added that the rezoning
application required a Traffic Impact Analysis and that the report would indicate
whether traffic signals are warranted. Committee Member Alauria reiterated the
concern over traffic on Peoria Avenue. Committee Member Alauria asked if the
multifamily development would have any private security. Mr. Beaudoin stated that
the project will be managed by a property management company and would provide
security for the residents. Mr. Beaudoin reiterated that the new development will put
eyes on the street.
Committee Member Pamperin stated that he lived in the area and agreed that there
was a lot of commercial development along Cave Creek Road and stated that he

would like to see the site redevelop. Committee Member Pamperin asked if they could
add a stipulation which would require a traffic signal on Desert Cove Avenue. Mr.
Kuhfuss indicated that the applicant submitted a Traffic Impact Analysis for their
proposal. Mr. Kuhfuss noted that he was unaware of all the requirements listed in the
acceptance letter but if a traffic signal was warranted, then it would be found in the
Traffic Impact Analysis. Chair Fogelson stated that she understood that discussions
regarding the regional traffic issues are beyond the Committee’s purview but noted
that it was important because of community concerns. Mr. Kuhfuss stated that he
would follow up with the Street Transportation Department.
Committee Member Pérez-Pawloski asked if there was a set timeline of when the
project needed to be built and wondered if the applicant could have further
conversations with the community. Mr. Beaudoin stated that there was no hard
deadline but noted that there were set dates for the Planning Commission and City
Council. Mr. Beaudoin added that they would have to send out hundreds of letters to
surrounding residents. Mr. Beaudoin agreed that there were traffic concerns in the
area and noted that Desert Cove Avenue is not adjacent to the site. Committee
Member Pérez-Pawloski asked if the applicant was willing to come back and further
discuss the height and traffic issues. Mr. Beaudoin stated that they had R-5 zoning by
right. Mr. Beaudoin added that the main question is whether the Committee wanted to
see the eastern portion of the site develop as commercial or residential. Committee
Member Pérez-Pawloski stated that her goal was to see if the applicant would be
willing to have those conversations. Mr. Beaudoin stated that they welcomed
members of the community to reach out to them and discuss the proposed project.
Mr. Beaudoin noted that they would not be removing units arbitrarily. Committee
Member Pérez-Pawloski added that these conversations would be a sign of good
faith. Mr. Beaudoin agreed and noted that they were willing to educate and talk with
the community.
Committee Member Mike Krentz stated that they could build up to four-stories by
right but by bringing this via a rezoning case, it would allow for some form-based
design and conditions. Committee Member Krentz asked if the applicant was willing to
consider step backs. Committee Member Krentz stated there were single-family
houses across the street zoned R-5 that could be redeveloped with a maximum
height of 48 feet and four-stories. Committee Member Krentz added that by making a
rezoning request, the street will be improved, and that the committee could consider a
step back in height. Committee Member Krentz reiterated that the west end of the site
is already zoned R-5.
Committee Member O’Hara noted a similar project on Indian School Road and
Central Avenue that involved a parking garage. Committee Member O’Hara agreed
that the street was narrow but added that C-2 would allow for numerous commercial
opportunities, bringing more people to the area. Committee Member O’Hara further
added that the parking garage would help alleviate crime and there would be no
added benefit to the community to discuss surrounding traffic issues if they still have
to go to Planning Commission by March 6th. Committee Member O’Hara stated that
the main concerns are height and density but on three-fourths of the site the height

and density are already permitted. Committee Member O’Hara reiterated that the
parking garage would add to the security of the area.
Committee Member Matthew Knapp noted that if the proposed development does
not include the eastern portion of the site, there would not be any way for traffic to exit
the site other than through Peoria Avenue. Committee Member Knapp stated that a
holistic plan was required to meet the community traffic needs.
Committee Member Heather Garbarino stated that without the “parallelogram”
being rezoned it could lead to the elimination of the parking garage. Committee
Member Garbarino stated that they could still put in as many units as they want and
parking will be on the ground level, thus not helping traffic. Committee Member
Garbarino added that she liked the design but would like for it to blend more
harmoniously with the community aesthetic and stated that were this development to
occur, the goal would be to make it happen gracefully. Committee Member Krentz
stated that they didn’t have a voice in design until the ordinance is changed.
Chair Fogelson encouraged the community to voice their support or opposition by
submitting letters to staff or attending the Planning Commission hearing or the City
Council meeting.
MOTION:
Committee Member Arick O’Hara motioned to recommend approval of Z-164-24-3
per the staff recommendation, with direction for the applicant to hold another
neighborhood meeting prior to the Planning Commission hearing on March 6, 2025.
Committee Member Patrick Edwards seconded the motion.
DISCUSSION:
Committee Member O’Hara stated he valued the input from the public and that the
concerns expressed only pertained to a small portion of the site but wanted them to
have the opportunity to engage with the applicant.
Committee Member Pamperin stated that he had concerns regarding traffic and
would like for the City to look at Desert Cove Avenue.
Committee Member Pérez-Pawloski stated that the project was going to happen but
were tied by existing zoning and asked the developer to have more engagement with
the community.
VOTE:
13-0-1, motion to recommend approval of Z-164-24-3 per the staff recommendation
with direction passes with Committee Members Barraza, Carmona, Edwards,
Garbarino, Harris, Jaramillo, Knapp, Krentz, O’Hara, Pamperin, Pérez-Pawloski,

PROPOSAL
4. Site Plan
The conceptual site plan, attached as an exhibit, depicts 19 stalls for compact
power equipment rentals along the large landscape are between the existing
home improvement store and 26th Avenue. The reserved parking stalls for
equipment rentals serve as additional services provided by the existing home
improvement store. Customer and employee parking is located south of the
proposed reserved stalls, across the existing drive aisle.
5. Elevations
The building elevations / pictures, attached as an exhibit, depict the existing
home improvement store. The conceptual site plan does not depict any newly
proposed buildings or structures within the proposed C-3 zoning.
PLANS, OVERLAYS, AND INITIATIVES
6. Black Canyon / Maricopa Freeway Specific Plan
The Freeway Mitigation Program, created in the City of Phoenix by the 1988
approval of Proposition 17, authorized general obligation bonds to prepare plans
and fund projects to mitigate the blighting effects on neighborhoods from existing
and proposed freeway construction. The Black Canyon/ Maricopa Freeway
Specific Plan study area is 32 miles long from Pinnacle Peak Road at I-17 in
the north, to Pecos Road at I-10 in the south. Generally, the width of the study
area is one-quarter mile on each side of the freeway.
The proposal advances Land Use Policy No. 4 (Page 11 in the plan) by
replenishing parking landscaping when adjacent to single-family development.
7. Tree and Shade Master Plan
The Tree and Shade Master Plan encourages treating the urban forest as
infrastructure to ensure the trees are an integral part of the City’s planning and
Staff Report: Z-157-24-3
March 5, 2025
development process. Sidewalks on the street frontage should be detached from
the curb to allow trees to be planted on both sides of the sidewalk to provide
thermal comfort for pedestrians and to reduce the urban heat island effect.
The proposal, as stipulated, will create a comfortable environment by restoring
parking lot landscaping in accordance with the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance. This
is addressed in Stipulation No. 1.
8. Zero Waste PHX:
The City of Phoenix is committed to its waste diversion efforts and has set a goal
to become a zero waste city, as part of the city’s overall 2050 Environmental
Sustainability Goals. One of the ways Phoenix can achieve this is to improve and
expand its recycling and other waste diversion programs. Section 716 of the
Phoenix Zoning Ordinance establishes standards to encourage the provision of
recycling containers for multifamily, commercial, and mixed-use developments
meeting certain criteria. The development narrative states that the home
improvement store incorporates recycling.
COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY
9. As of the writing of this report no letters of support or opposition have been
received for the request.
OTHER
10. The site has not been identified as being archaeologically sensitive; however, in
the event archaeological materials are encountered during construction, all
ground disturbing activities must cease within 33-feet of the discovery and the
time to properly assess the materials. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 2.
11. Staff has not received a completed form for the Waiver of Claims for Diminution
in Value of Property under Proposition 207 (A.R.S. 12-1131 et seq.), as required
by the rezoning application process. Therefore, a stipulation has been added to
require the form be completed and submitted prior to final site plan approval.
This is addressed in Stipulation No. 3.
12. Development and use of the site is subject to all applicable codes and
ordinances. Zoning approval does not negate other ordinance requirements.
Other formal actions such as, but not limited to, zoning adjustments and
abandonments, may be required.
Findings
1. The requested C-3 zoning district is compatible with the General Plan Land Use
Map designation.
Staff Report: Z-157-24-3
March 5, 2025
2. The subject site is appropriate for general commercial use (equipment rental)
because of its proximity to a freeway and limited application area on an existing
commercial site.
3. The subject site will be buffered from adjacent single-family residential
development to the north and east.
Stipulations
1. Parking lot landscaping within the subject site shall be restored in accordance
with the Standards outlined in Section 624.E.4.e of the Phoenix Zoning
Ordinance.
2. In the event archaeological materials are encountered during construction, the
developer shall immediately cease all ground-disturbing activities within a 33-
foot radius of the discovery, notify the City Archaeologist, and allow time for the
Archaeology Office to properly assess the materials.
3. Prior to final site plan approval, the landowner shall execute a Proposition 207
waiver of claims form. The waiver shall be recorded with the Maricopa County
Recorder's Office and delivered to the City to be included in the rezoning
application file for record.

Location Approximately 1,080 feet north of the northeast corner
of the I-17 Freeway and Thunderbird Road
VPC Recommendation Approval, per the staff recommendation, with direction
VPC Vote 10-0
VPC DISCUSSION & RECOMMENDED STIPULATIONS:
Three members of the public registered to speak on this item, one in support and two
who did not indicate support or opposition
STAFF PRESENTATION
Robert Kuhfuss, staff displayed an oblique aerial image of the site and surrounding
area then followed with an image depicting the General Plan Land Use Map
categories of the site and surrounding area. Mr. Kuhfuss explained that the original
rezoning request included the entire property, but that staff had concerns with the
potential uses allowed under C-3 and the potential impacts those uses might have on
adjacent street facilities, which led to the rezone area being reduced to that needed to
accommodate the equipment rental. Mr. Kuhfuss stated that staff had not received
any support or opposition regarding the request but noted that one individual had
initially expressed concern over the potential loss of the landscape buffer and seemed
satisfied when advised that was not the owner’s intent. Mr. Kuhfuss provided the staff
findings, recommendations, and proposed stipulations.
APPLICATION PRESENTATION
Justin Kincade, representing the applicant with Kimley-Horn, oriented the Committee
to the site, stating that the entire area is zoned C-2. Mr. Kincade showed photographs
of the site specific to the application, stating that the site was typical of a Home Depot
site. Mr. Kincade stated that the equipment Rental Center has been active since
2013. Mr. Kincade discussed the zoning of the site and the surrounding area and
stated that the intent was to rezone a two-acre portion of the larger 12-acre site to C-3
since C-3 allows equipment rental. Mr. Kincade stated that he had been working with
staff to redefine the zoning boundary and that the existing rental center and

Meeting Summary
Z-157-24-3
equipment rental are contained within the proposed C-3 boundary, as is a portion of
the access road leading out to the I-17. Mr. Kincade presented an image of the
landscape buffer located along the northern edge of the rezone area stating that it
was not Home Depot’s intent to encroach into that area. Mr. Kincade stated that
approval of the proposed rezone would bring the site into compliance with the City’s
code and that no changes to the store’s operation or surrounding area was being
proposed. Mr. Kincade displayed an image showing the equipment adjacent to the
existing screen wall.
QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE
Committee Member Jim Larson asked if the intent of the rezone was simply to bring
the site into compliance. Mr. Kincade stated they have been operating an equipment
rental center for over a decade but learned that the zoning of the site did not allow
that use and that the intent was to bring the site into compliance. Committee Member
Larson asked if this is the only site within the City that needed to be rezoned. Mr.
Kincade stated that he was not sure but his understanding is that most of the other
stores already have C-3 zoning.
Committee Member Steve Pamperin stated that it was his understanding that part
of the rezone area was to extend into the green belt area and asked if there was a
specific reason why the rezone area did not follow the wash. Committee Member
Pamperin stated that once zoned, anyone could expand into the greenbelt area. Mr.
Kincade stated that the access arm leading out to the I-17 dictated how the northern
boundary was laid out. Committee Member Pamperin asked what the allowed height
was being that close to residential. Mr. Kincade stated that the open space area was
split between Home Depot and the Homeowners’ Association to the north, with the
boundary between the two aligning with the existing concrete channel. Mr. Kincade
reiterated staff’s concerns with rezoning the entire site to C-3 and that the proposed
configuration only accommodates the equipment rental and is not large enough to
accommodate other C-3 uses. Mr. Kincade stated that any changes to the site would
require City review and approval. Committee Member Pamperin again asked what the
height limit was in C-3. Mr. Kincade stated that he did not have the code requirements
handy, but any changes would require City approval.
Committee Member Joshua Carmona asked for clarification as to where the rental
trucks and rental equipment would be stored. Mr. Kincade stated that his
understanding was that there were stipulations from the past that required the rental
trucks to be parked north of the rental center, and that the equipment would be
parked along the screen wall.
Vice Chair Joshua Matthews asked whether the greenbelt was in a dedicated
easement or if there were any other legal protections. Mr. Kuhfuss stated the area
was shown as being within an easement but was not certain of the purpose of that
easement. Vice Chair Matthews stated that if there were concerns over the potential
of that area being used for anything other than a greenbelt, the Committee could
recommend a stipulation stating that the area be maintained it is current state. Mr.
Kincade stated the area handles drainage and that there was an exercise station

Meeting Summary

located in the easement. Vice Chair Matthews asked the applicant if they would be
willing to accept a stipulation stating that the existing greenbelt be maintained in its
current condition or not be impacted by any future land use changes. Mr. Kincade
stated that would be acceptable.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Roxanne Smith stated that she is the Block Watch President of the neighborhood,
with the boundaries extending from Greenway Road to Thunderbird Road and from
the I-17 to 25th Avenue, which includes the subject site. Ms. Smith stated that she
and many of the community members wanted to be sure to keep the green space,
and that Home Depot promised lighting for the green space but has not delivered. Ms.
Smith stated that the green space has been known to attract the unhoused, which has
become a problem for the residents of the area. Ms. Smith stated that Home Depot
wishes to line the wall with equipment and will illuminate that area for their own
purposes and would like to see Home Depot extend lighting to the other side of the
wall for the benefit of the neighbors.
Judy Mackin stated that she lives across the street from Home Depot and faces 26th
Avenue. Ms. Mackin stated that homeless people live along the north side of the north
wall and that she would like to see Home Depot install lighting along the north side of
the wall to discourage the homeless from staying there. Ms. Mackin stated that she
would also like Home Depot to repair the inoperable lighting within the parking lot.
Dwight Watland stated that he is a neighbor and he, along with Judy Mackin, are
likely the only two people who have institutional memory of the history regarding the
Home Depot. Mr. Watland stated that in 1994, there were extensive stipulations put in
place and stated that Home Depot has not lived up to many of those stipulations. Mr.
Watland stated he wanted to be sure that the current stipulations are kept in place
and that Home Depot be more responsive when dealing with neighbor concerns. Mr.
Watland stated there was a lighting problem, an outdoor display problem, and other
issues. Mr. Watland stated that he did not understand why he did not make the
notification list and had been in discussions with Mr. Kincade to address that issue.
Mr. Watland expressed concerns with access onto Thunderbird Road and wanted
Home Depot to do whatever they can to encourage traffic to utilize the access road
out to the frontage road. Mr. Watland expressed concerns with the screen wall that
separates the parking lot from the green belt stating that the wall is about eight or nine
feet tall and that a stipulation should be included stating that nothing can be visible
above that wall. Mr. Watland reiterated his concerns over the lack of responsiveness
on the part of Home Depot giving an example of a letter that he sent to Home Depot’s
legal counsel in February of 2020 where the concerns expressed in that letter went
unresolved. Mr. Watland reiterated his concerns with outdoor display, parking lot
lighting, and green belt lighting.
Judy Mackin stated that she would like the equipment being stored on site to not
exceed the height of the wall along 26th Avenue.

North Mountain Village Planning Committee
Meeting Summary
Z-157-24-3
COMMITTEE DISCUSSION:
Vice Chair Matthews stated there had been a lot of good commentary made with
respect to the proposed rezone. Vice Chair Matthews stated that the site has been
non-compliant for 12 years and understood they wanted to bring the site back into
compliance. Vice Chair Matthews stated that his inclination was to make a motion
with direction that in the next couple weeks the applicant work with the community to
develop stipulations that address the concerns that were raised by the community and
be prepared to present those stipulations to the Planning Commission, which both he
and Committee Member Jaramillo are members. Vice Chair Matthews asked Mr.
Kincade if that would be workable and clarified that the reason for that approach was
that it would be difficult to craft such stipulations during the meeting. Mr. Kincade
stated that it would be workable and that he would coordinate with the neighbors and
see if they can address their concerns with additional stipulations. Vice Chair
Matthews stated that his understanding of the issues were maintaining the green
space in its current condition, bringing the parking lot lighting back up to code and
consistent with the prior stipulations, site security, and equipment height. Vice Chair
Matthews stated that he realized that the height issue might prove difficult and asked
Mr. Kincade to identify any issues that cannot be addressed. Committee Member
Garbarino clarified that there may be existing stipulations that are not being followed.
Mr. Kincade reiterated his understanding. Mr. Kincade stated that in his experience,
the preference is to have outdoor lighting point inward and that he would like to
contact the homeowners that back up to that green space prior to committing to any
outdoor lighting in that area. Vice Chair Matthews asked Mr. Kincade to work that out
with the community to ensure there are no surprises later.
MOTION:
Vice Chair Joshua Matthews motioned to recommend approval of Z-157-24-3 with
direction that the applicant work with the community to develop stipulations related to
the green space, lighting, safety and security and other neighborhood concerns in
advance of the Planning Commission Meeting on April 3, 2025.
DISCUSSION:
Committee Member O’Hara asked for a friendly amendment that the motion include
staff recommended stipulations as well. Vice Chair Matthews agreed to the friendly
amendment.
Committee Member Heather Garbarino asked for an additional friendly amendment
that the motion address any outstanding stipulations. Vice Chair Matthews restated
the motion.
REVISED MOTION:
Vice Chair Joshua Matthews motioned to recommend approval of Z-157-24-3 per
staff recommendation with direction that the applicant work with the neighborhood to
develop stipulations related to maintaining the existing green space, enhancing
lighting, safety and security, and any other concerns, as well as ensuring that other

THUNDERBIRD ROAD
Rezoning Case No. Z-157-24-3 is a request to rezone 2.38 acres located approximately
1,080 feet north of the northeast corner of the I-17 freeway and Thunderbird Road from
C-2 SP (Intermediate Commercial, Special Permit) to C-3 (General Commercial) to
allow for commercial uses.
The North Mountain Village Planning Committee (VPC) heard this request on March 19,
2025 and recommended approval, per the staff recommendation with direction, by a
vote of 10-0. During the VPC meeting, members of the neighborhood expressed certain
concerns and the Committee gave the applicant direction to work with the neighborhood
to resolve those concerns. The applicant has been working with Home Depot, the
neighborhood, and staff to address these concerns. Many of the issues identified by the
neighborhood are not specifically related to the subject rezone and will be addressed by
Home Depot; however, staff recommends the Commission include three additional
stipulations intended to address concerns that are directly related to the subject rezone.
Staff recommends approval, per the modified stipulations in bold font below:
1. Parking lot landscaping within the subject site shall be restored in accordance
with the Standards outlined in Section 624.E.4.e of the Phoenix Zoning
Ordinance.
2. In the event archaeological materials are encountered during construction, the
developer shall immediately cease all ground-disturbing activities within a 33-
foot radius of the discovery, notify the City Archaeologist, and allow time for the
Archaeology Office to properly assess the materials.
3. Prior to final site plan approval, the landowner shall execute a Proposition 207
waiver of claims form. The waiver shall be recorded with the Maricopa County
Recorder's Office and delivered to the City to be included in the rezoning
application file for record.
4. SITE LIGHTING SHALL BE PROVIDED IN THE PARKING LOT AND/OR
ALONG THE DRAINAGE EASEMENT TO ILLUMINATE THE DRAINAGE

SUBJECT:
Application #: Z-157-24-3
Location: Approximately 1,080 feet north of the northeast corner of the I-17 Freeway
and Thunderbird Road
From: C-2 SP
To: C-3
Acreage: 2.38
Proposal: Commercial uses
Applicant: Benjamin Johnson, Kimley-Horn and Associates
Owner: Home Depot USA, Inc. c/o Fred Simpson
Representative: Justin Kinkade, Kimley-Horn and Associates
ACTIONS:
Staff Recommendation: Approval, per the staff memo dated April 3, 2025.
Village Planning Committee (VPC) Recommendation:
North Mountain 3/19/2025 Approval, per the staff recommendation, with direction. Vote: 10-0.
Planning Commission Recommendation: Approval, per the staff memo dated April 3, 2025.
Motion Discussion:
Commissioner Matthews asked staff if a stipulation can be created which requires customers to
use the exit on the north side of the property, or if such a stipulation would not be enforceable
legally.
Ms. Racelle Escolar stated that they can stipulate to require parking lot signage on the site. It
sounded like the Home Depot was already updating their store policy to have associates
verbally instruct customers to use that frontage road exit, but that the stipulations of the case
likely could not do more. The city can enforce on the presence of a sign physically on the
property only.
Motion details: Commissioner Matthews made a MOTION to approve Z-157-24-3, per the staff
memo dated April 3, 2025.
Maker: Matthews
Second: Jaramillo
Vote: 8-0
Absent: Read
Opposition Present: Yes
Findings:
1. The requested C-3 zoning district is compatible with the General Plan Land Use Map
designation.
2. The subject site is appropriate for general commercial use (equipment rental) because
of its proximity to a freeway and limited application area on an existing commercial site.
3. The subject site will be buffered from adjacent single-family residential development to
the north and east.
Stipulations:
1. Parking lot landscaping within the subject site shall be restored in accordance with the
Standards outlined in Section 624.E.4.e of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance.

shall immediately cease all ground-disturbing activities within a 33- foot radius of the

Robert and Justin
I have reviewed proposed Stipulations 5 and 6. The following are my thoughts to make both stipulations
more attractive to the neighborhood, and be acceptable to Home Depot.
Stipulation 5-
a -Stipulation 5 refers only to the area located adjacent to the drainage easement. That should
be expanded to include the area adjacent to the East Wall of the parking lot.
b-Justin, you had indicated that Home Depot would locate the taller equipment next to the East
Wall as that wall is higher. That seems appropriate to include in the Stipulation.
b-Stipulation 5 should also include a requirement that no equipment should be stored or
displayed in a manner that extends above the adjacent wall. I understand that equipment may be stored
or displayed while sitting on a trailer. Currently, all equipment, even if on a trailer, is lower than the East
Wall. Therefore, this should be an acceptable stipulation.
Stipulation 6-
a -A single sign will be lost in the plethora of signage near the displayed and stored equipment.
b-additional signage can be as follows:
Northeast corner of parking lot - "EXIT" -arrow pointing West
In front of construction loading area - "EXIT" - arrow pointing North
Along wall leading to frontage road - "EXIT" - arrow pointing North
At the exterior door to rental area - "PLEASE USE FRONTAGE ROAD EXIT"
At the frontage road exit - Monument signage with Home Depot sign and logo
Identify as "RENTAL OFFICE"
Placed near displayed equipment and trucks - "PLEASE EXIT TO NORTH"
c -I don't know how specific signage requirement in a stipulation can be, However, a minimum
of one sign is inadequate.

PROPOSAL
4. Site Plan
The proposal is for a Conceptual Site Plan; Source: William Seymour Co. Inc.
20-lot subdivision.
The requested R1-
10 zoning district
allows for 16 units,
and up to 20 units
with a density
bonus. To achieve
20 units the
development will
need 90 bonus
points, the
development
proposes to
achieve the 90
bonus points
through the
provision of detached sidewalks, enhanced landscaping, additional open space,
enhanced architectural design, and entry monuments. The proposed bonus points
will be reviewed through the development review process.
Staff Report: Z-58-24-8
June 25, 2024
The conceptual site plan, attached as an exhibit, depicts the site layout including
the location of each lot, the open space areas, proposed lot widths, proposed lot
depths, the connection to the existing subdivision to the north, and pedestrian
circulation. The site will have access to Baseline Road through the subdivision to
the north. A temporary cul-de-sac will be constructed at the southern portion of the
site until a future connection to South Mountain Avenue is constructed.
To ensure compatibility with the surrounding area and the Rio Montaña Area Plan,
staff recommends Stipulation No. 1 to require that the site plan and landscape plan
for future development of the site be reviewed and approved by the Planning
Hearing Officer through the public hearing process, including review by the South
Mountain Village Planning Committee.
5. Conceptual Building Elevations
The conceptual building elevations and renderings, attached as an exhibit, feature
two, one-story and two, two-story elevations. Each elevation highlights four-sided
architecture and a diverse mix of building materials. The designs incorporate
enhanced architectural variation that is needed to earn the necessary bonus points
to achieve the proposed density. Staff recommends Stipulation No. 2 to require
that the building elevations for future development of the site be reviewed and
approved by the Planning Hearing Officer through the public hearing process,
including review by the South Mountain Village Planning Committee.

STUDIES AND POLICIES
6. Rio Montaña Area Plan:
Source: Planning and Development Department
The Rio Montaña Area Plan
encourages preservation of
the rural character of the
area and incorporates
transition zones to protect
desert and open space
areas. The plan also
encourages pedestrian and
equestrian activities through
a network of trails and
aspires to develop a sense of
community while
encouraging investment in
the community.
The Rio Montaña Area Plan intended to accomplish this vision through seven goals
that include: promoting balanced, high quality development; protecting and
improving neighborhoods through maintenance, rehabilitation and infill projects;
keeping a distinctive character that reflects the diversity in its equestrian heritage,
culture, history and architecture; protecting the rural character, the Sonoran Desert
and the riparian potential of the Rio Salado Habitat Restoration Project; promoting
future business development and economic growth; developing the tourism
industry through a wide range of opportunities; and providing a variety of
transportation options.
This site is located in the center of the Rio Montaña Area Plan boundaries in an
area with a mix of rural residential neighborhoods, single-family subdivisions,
commercial, and agricultural uses. The development of this vacant parcel will
further the Rio Montaña Area Plan goal of promoting infill projects.
The proposal will further address design and pedestrian connectivity goals by
providing detached sidewalks within the development, entry monuments, enhanced
landscaping, and enhanced building elevations. These improvements will be
required to earn the necessary bonus points to achieve the proposed density.
Additionally, to ensure the development is compatible with the Rio Montaña Area
Plan design goals, Stipulation Nos. 1 and 2 require that the site plan, landscape
plan, and elevations for future development of the site be reviewed and approved
Staff Report: Z-58-24-8
June 25, 2024
by the Planning Hearing Officer through the public hearing process, including
review by the South Mountain Village Planning Committee
Other design elements of the Rio Montaña Area Plan will be addressed through the
design guidelines of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance in Chapter 5, Section 507 Tab.
A (Guidelines for Design Review).
7. Housing Phoenix Plan:
In June 2020, the Phoenix City Council approved the Housing Phoenix Plan. This
Plan contains policy initiatives for the development and preservation of housing
with the vision of creating a stronger and more vibrant Phoenix through increased
housing options for residents at all income levels and family sizes. Phoenix’s rapid
population growth and housing underproduction has led to a need for over 163,000
new housing units. Current shortages of housing supply relative to demand are a
primary reason why housing costs are increasing.
The proposed development supports the Plan’s goal of preserving or creating
50,000 housing units by 2030 by providing housing that will address the supply
shortage at a more rapid pace while using vacant or underutilized land in a more
sustainable fashion.
8. Phoenix Climate Action Plan
In October 2021, the Phoenix City Council approved the Climate Action Plan. The
Climate Action Plan will serve as a long-term plan to achieve greenhouse gas
emissions reductions and resiliency goals from local operations and community
activities as well as prepare for the impacts of climate change. This plan contains
policy and initiatives regarding stationary energy, transportation, waste
management, air quality, local food systems, heat, and water. Goal W2 (Water),
Action W2.4, pertains to the implementation of the Greater Phoenix Metro Green
Infrastructure (GI) and Low Impact Development Details for Alternative Stormwater
Management to benefit the environment, promote water conservation, reduce
urban heat, improve the public health, and create additional green spaces. This
goal is addressed in Stipulation No. 8, which requires a minimum of two GI
techniques for stormwater management to be implemented in this development.
9. Conservation Measures for New Development:
In June 2023, the Phoenix City Council adopted the Conservation Measures for
New Development policy as part of a resolution addressing the future water
consumption of new development (Resolution 22129). This resolution addresses
the future water consumption of new development to support one of the City’s Five
Core Values in the General Plan which calls for Phoenix to - Build the Sustainable
Desert City. The Conservation Measures for New Development policy includes
Staff Report: Z-58-24-8
June 25, 2024
direction to develop standards for consideration as stipulations for all rezoning
cases that will address best practices related to water usage in nine specific
categories. This is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 3 through 10.
10. Tree and Shade Master Plan:
The Tree and Shade Master Plan encourages treating the urban forest as
infrastructure to ensure the trees are an integral part of the City’s planning and
development process. Sidewalks on the street frontage should be detached from
the curb to allow trees to be planted on both sides of the sidewalk to provide
thermal comfort for pedestrians and to reduce the urban heat island effect. The
proposal will create a comfortable streetscape environment with enhanced
landscaping and shaded, detached sidewalks within the development. These
improvements will be required to earn the necessary bonus points to achieve the
proposed density.
Additionally, to ensure the proposal provides adequet shading and landscaping,
the landscape plan for future development, as stipulated, will be required to be
reviewed and approved by the Planning Hearing Officer through the public hearing
process, including review by the South Mountain Village Planning Committee. This
is addressed in Stipulation No. 2.
11. Complete Streets Guiding Principles:
The City of Phoenix City Council adopted the Complete Streets Guiding Principles.
The principles are intended to promote improvements that provide an accessible,
safe, connected transportation system to include all modes, such as bicycles,
pedestrians, transit, and vehicles.
The proposed development, as stipulated, will support walking, bicycling, and
transit-use by proposing sidewalks along both sides of 20th Lane. This is
addressed in Stipulation No. 13. Additionally, to earn the necessary bonus points to
achieve the proposed density, detached sidewalks within the development are
proposed.
12. Zero Waste Phoenix PHX:
The City of Phoenix is committed to its waste diversion efforts and has set a goal to
become a zero waste city, as part of the city’s overall 2050 Environmental
Sustainability Goals. One of the ways Phoenix can achieve this is to improve and
expand its recycling and other waste diversion programs.
The city provides recycling service to single-family developments.
Staff Report: Z-58-24-8
June 25, 2024
COMMUNITY CORRESONDENCE
13. At the time this staff report was written, staff has received two letters of opposition
regarding the request. Concerns include increased traffic congestion, developer’s
credibility, public outreach, impact on community character and quality of life, and
environmental and infrastructure strain.
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS
14. The Street Transportation Department requested that right-of way be dedicated for
20th Lane; a temporary turnaround easement be dedicated until 20th Lane is
extended to the south, alternatively, a permanent turn around design may be
considered and shall include a center landscaped island; and all improvements in
the right-of-way be constructed with all required elements and to ADA standards.
These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 11 through 13.
15. The Aviation Department requested the airport disclosure stipulation. This is
addressed in Stipulation No. 14.
OTHER
16. The site has not been identified as being archaeologically sensitive. However, in
the event archaeological materials are encountered during construction, all ground
disturbing activities must cease within 33-feet of the discovery and the City of
Phoenix Archaeology Office must be notified immediately and allowed time to
properly assess the materials. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 15.
17. Staff has not received a completed form for the Waiver of Claims for Diminution in
Value of Property under Proposition 207 (A.R.S. 12-1131 et seq.), as required by
the rezoning application process. Therefore, a stipulation has been added to
require the form be completed and submitted prior to final site plan approval. This
is addressed in Stipulation No. 16.
18. Development and use of the site are subject to all applicable codes and
ordinances. Zoning approval does not negate other ordinance requirements. Other
formal actions such as, but not limited to, zoning adjustments and abandonments
may be required.
Findings

Rio Montaña Area Plan, and with the character of the surrounding area.
2. The requested R1-10 zoning district is consistent with surrounding zoning and
development patterns in the general area.

Subject: Case Z-58-24 : Opposition to Proposed Zoning Development Near Wyndham Square HOA
CAUTION: This email originated outside of the City of Phoenix.
Do not click links or open attachments unless you know the sender and were expecting this
email.
Report Suspicious
Dear Members of the Phoenix Planning and Development Department,
I am writing on behalf of the Wyndham Square HOA community, located near Baseline Rd and 20th Ln in ZIP
code 85041, to express our strong opposition to the proposed development of 20 houses on the empty land
adjacent to our community. As residents deeply invested in the well-being and safety of our neighborhood, we
have several serious concerns regarding this development.
1. Increased Traffic Congestion:
Our community already faces significant congestion issues, particularly at the single exit onto Baseline Rd. The
addition of 20 houses, each potentially contributing an average of 2-3 cars, would introduce approximately 50-
60 more vehicles to this already congested exit. This substantial increase in traffic volume would exacerbate
existing delays, increase the risk of accidents, and create a hazardous environment for both drivers and
pedestrians.
2. Developer’s Credibility:
The developer assigned to this project, DeLex Realty LLC, is not accredited by the Better Business Bureau
(BBB) and currently holds an "F" rating. This poor rating raises serious concerns about the reliability and
integrity of the developer, and their ability to responsibly manage a project of this scale. We question their
capacity to meet the community’s standards and to follow through on commitments to mitigate negative
impacts on our neighborhood.

3. Impact on Community Character and Quality of Life:
The proposed development threatens to alter the character of our close-knit community. Our neighborhood
values open spaces and the tranquility that comes with lower housing density. The introduction of 20 additional
houses will not only strain our infrastructure but also detract from the peaceful environment that our residents
cherish. Increased noise, reduced privacy, and potential overcrowding are all significant concerns that have not
been adequately addressed.
4. Environmental and Infrastructure Strain:
The proposed development will likely put additional strain on our local infrastructure, including water supply,
sewage systems, and public services. Without significant upgrades to these systems, which have not been
outlined by the developer, the quality of service for current residents could deteriorate. Furthermore, we are
concerned about the environmental impact, including increased runoff and potential flooding issues, due to the
reduction of permeable land.
Given these substantial concerns, we urge the City of Phoenix Planning and Development Department to
reconsider the approval of this zoning plan. The long-term welfare and safety of our community depend on
responsible and sustainable development practices. We strongly believe that this proposed development does
not align with these principles and would negatively impact our neighborhood.
We appreciate your attention to our concerns and look forward to your thoughtful consideration of our position.

Report Suspicious
Hello Samuel,
My name is Jewel Clark. I am writing regarding rezoning case number Z-58-24. My husband
(cc'd on this email) and I own property at 2020 W. South Mountain Ave (APN # 300-17-004S).
Attached you will find what we received from the applicant for your convenience and cross-
reference.
The application for rezoning and development centers on a 4.5 acre parcel which we are
adjacent to. While these plans were received and stamped by the planning department in
November of 2023, the first meeting request the surrounding neighbors received concerning
this proposal was May 17. May 17, which was a Friday, notified us of a meeting to be held by
the developers on May 18. One day's notice. The letter was postmarked May 13, which was
Monday. I was unable to attend because of a standing appointment that Saturday but my
husband went. The developer had picked a pizza parlor for the meeting. Approximately 50
concerned neighbors attended but according to my husband it was practically impossible to
hear (this was not in a reserved room away from the rest of the guests) and it was difficult for
everyone to get close to the posters of the proposal for details. However, the neighbors were
able to communicate opposition to key elements of the proposal: increased traffic, density and
multiple stories.
Approximately 1 month later, the weekend of June 15, the developer, Mr. John Fox, held
another meeting with the neighbors. We received that letter on the 10th. It was postmarked 6-4-
24. Two of our neighbors whose properties are adjacent to this proposed development had not
received a letter notifying them of the meeting. These neighbors are very concerned about how
this proposal could affect their properties and would have been there had they known about it.

6/24/24, 1:58 PM Mail - Samuel S Rogers - Outlook
Some questions are:
1. Is there a minimum notification time for developers to alert neighbors within the 600 ft
minimum for these kinds of meetings?
2. How is the 600’ notification zone measured for developers to build their contact list?
3. Should the ADU’s have been shown on the drawings they provided? They were not.
4. I may be misreading the plans attached but on the lot diagram page under Project
Description, it appears they list R1-10 density as 3.5-5 DU/AC. My understanding is that
R1-10 is 3-3.5, 4.5 with bonus. Do the submitted plans have to be correct or corrected to
be allowed to move forward?
5. Should there be updated plans at this point that are not designated “pre-application”? If
so, the neighbors have not seen anything different from the attachment enclosed.
6. Will this application also require a general plan amendment application?
7. My husband said the developers told the neighbors that approval for
developments/rezoning no longer went through the city council. According to what I could
find on the city website, rezoning requests, either opposed or unopposed were still heard
by the city council as the final arbiters. Is this incorrect?
I'd also like to let you know that according to my husband, the plan had not changed at all in the
month the developer had to incorporate neighbor concerns. They showed up with exactly the
same designs/plans. So, on two fronts, they don't appear to be listening to or trying to work with
any of the surrounding neighbors who would be affected by this development, and they said
they are planning on presenting this proposal to the South Mountain Village Planning
Committee at the next meeting on July 9.
Since the neighbors confronted them with the fact that nothing had changed, they said they
would look into making changes and call another meeting before the SMVPC meeting but I'm
concerned that yet again, the neighbors may not be notified in a timely enough fashion to
attend whatever meeting is scheduled.
So to recap the timeline:
1. Application submitted Nov. '23
2. First notice to neighbors mailed May 13, 2024 for a May 18 meeting. We got our letter the
day before and so did many others. Developers heard from approx. 50 people that density
was too high, 2 story designs were opposed and concern about increased traffic in an
existing development with only one entrance/egress point onto Baseline were paramount,
among other concerns.
3. One month later, June 15, developer held another meeting. Notification letter postmarked
6-4, received on 6-10, at least by us. Some neighbors confirmed they did not receive their
letters by the meeting date and missed the meeting. Plans had not changed at all.
Neighbors reiterated concerns.
4. Developers said they would look at some changes and call another meeting but said they
were still planning on moving the application through to the SMVPC July 9 meeting.

6/24/24, 1:58 PM Mail - Samuel S Rogers - Outlook
The main issues: density, traffic for the north neighborhood, multiple stories
The current plan is requesting a density of approximately 4.5, which means they are requesting
a bonus designation and I do not see where they are calling out enhancements per city
requirements to justify or earn the points for such density. In addition, this parcel is fully
bordered on the east by S-1 acre+ homes, which would be a tremendously incongruous jump in
density if approved. As well, there are no developments surrounding that are more than 3.5 R1-
10 in density, making 4.5 units per acre unprecedented for the immediate area.
This new development would be an extension of an existing development to the north with only
1 entrance/exit onto Baseline Rd for an already existing 54 houses. There is no way for this
addition to have another entrance/exit onto a different street because it is surrounded by
already developed land. There is no light at Baseline for the current neighborhood and the
residents say that getting in and out of their neighborhood is already extremely difficult. Are
there any safety requirements for the number of houses in a development to the number of
entrance/exits? It seems like this ratio should be a concern for the city in case of evacuation or
other emergencies.
The neighborhood around this parcel has been very active in working to keep housing height to
one story, per Rio Montana guidelines, which takes into account view obstruction to South
Mountain for existing neighbors. This is a priority for the northbound neighborhood and the
east-bordering homes who don't want 2-story houses right up on their property line looking
into their backyards. The precedent for all surrounding construction we have been involved with
for single family homes has been overwhelmingly single story and that is what all the neighbors
want.
Any information, clarification, links to specific city web pages, etc. you can provide is most
appreciated. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Jewel Clark

PUBLIC COMMENT
Jewel Clark expressed concerns about the proposed development, stated concerns
about the two-story homes, and stated that the high density of the project is out of
character with the area. Ms. Clark stated that there was no mention of Accessory
Dwelling Units (ADUs) in the applicant presentation and raised concerns about an
additional 200 trips that the development would generate. Ms. Clark emphasized that the

South Mountain Village Planning Committee
Meeting Summary
Z-58-24-8
area currently has an open feel which would be lost, leading to an increase in heat due to
reduced open space. Ms. Clark questioned whether the homes would be for rent or sale
and noted that many other homes are already being introduced into the area. Ms. Clark
stated that the developer has not had good conversations with the neighbors.
Jai Goudeau highlighted several issues, starting with the difficulty of turning left onto
Baseline Road, which can take up to 15 minutes. Mr. Goudeau noted that the existing
homes average 11,000 square feet, compared to the proposed 7,000 square feet. Mr.
Goudeau stated he is not opposed to development with fewer homes and criticized the
applicant for being unresponsive to working with the neighbors. Mr. Goudeau stated that
large vehicles would struggle to maneuver and stated that the first meeting was too small,
prompting him to request a second meeting. Mr. Goudeau explained that he reserved the
room for the second neighborhood meeting. Mr. Goudeau also expressed concerns
about the traffic circle eliminating street parking and mentioned that there are other
places where such developments would make more sense.
Jewel Clark stated that there is no guarantee that Dorothy, the property owner to the
south, will move. Ms. Clark stated that the neighborhood is healthy and diverse and does
not need this development. Ms. Clark pointed out that the first notification was not
received within the required 10-day notice period, and no solutions were provided.
Julian Galindo shared his experience as a resident for 15 years and expressed pride in
the neighborhood. Mr. Galindo compared a traffic letter with a full traffic study and voiced
opposition to the proposal. Mr. Galindo raised concerns about foot traffic, the safety of
children, and the long-term issues related to extra traffic.
Nicole Sordello stated she never received notice and suggested that there wouldn't be
an empty chair in the room if the notification had been proper. Ms. Sordello expressed
concerns about the impact of two-story homes on her privacy, noting that several lots will
back up to her property. Ms. Sordello stated the project has multiple unknowns regarding
rentals and HOA prohibitions on short-term rentals.
Joe Hernandez stated there is already heavy traffic near his residence at the entrance of
the subdivision to the north and stated that the proposal would make traffic worse. Mr.
Hernandez questioned how construction crews would maneuver, stated that the
neighborhood has been seeking to add an entry breezeway for the Wyndham Square
neighborhood, and expressed disappointment that new subdivision name may end up on
the breezeway too.
Mike Josic stated that the applicant does not own the property, and the sale is
contingent on the rezoning being approved. Mr. Josic mentioned the lack of discussion
on ADUs, which could result in about 40 households, and raised traffic concerns. Mr.
Josic argued that two-story buildings are inappropriate and stated that 20th Lane would
not likely connect to South Mountain Avenue in the near future because Dorothy, the
South Mountain Village Planning Committee
Meeting Summary
Z-58-24-8
property owner to the south, is not likely to move soon. Mr. Josic urged the committee to
reject the request and stated that the proposal is the wrong project in the wrong place.
Funyung Mon stated concerns about increases traffic, expressed frustration with the
already terrible traffic, and noted that her insurance quote increased by 20% due to the
area's high accident rate.
Monica Garcia stated she is a housing lawyer, stated the neighborhood had endured
half-built houses being built and flooding issues. Ms. Garcia stated traffic concerns,
stated that the homes are small, stated that insurance premiums will keep going up, and
asked the VPC to oppose to the project.
Candice McDonald Ramsey stated she works for Corporate America, clarified that she
is not trying to hinder the City's progress and understands the need for homeownership.
Ms. Ramsey expressed a willingness to compromise and highlighted the potential upside
for existing homeowners. Ms. Ramsey acknowledged that small homes could be a good
product but considered them inferior to existing homes. Ms. Ramsey stated concerns
about construction vehicle presence, stated she appreciated the VPC hearing the
community, and stated she feels that the applicant was not listening to their voices.
Jacques Phelps spoke about the diversity in the area, mentioning that he had just
closed on a home. Mr. Phelps expressed concern that the project would adversely impact
home values and the recent investment, negatively affecting his family and what he has
built.
Chair Trent Marchuk noted for the record that 29 cards had been submitted in
opposition to the proposed development, with 0 cards in support. Chair Marchuk also
reported that a petition opposing the development had gathered 63 signatures, 31 letters
of opposition were received, and explained that of the 52 homes in the Wyndham Square
neighborhood, 29 residents were in opposition to the proposal.
APPLICANT RESPONSE
Mr. Fox stated that South Mountain is a large area where R1-10 zoning is appropriate
and explained that the size of the lots is based on the Planned Residential Development
(PRD) option for R1-10. Mr. Fox emphasized that the project is designed to prevent water
from flowing into the neighborhood to the north. Mr. Fox acknowledged concerns about
the presence of two-story homes but stated that there are two-story homes in the
subdivision to the north. Mr. Fox clarified that the project has never been intended as a
rental community or proposed to include Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). Mr. Fox
expressed frustration, suggesting that the opposition indicates a reluctance to be good
neighbors. Mr. Fox affirmed that the development would consist of quality homes and
foster good neighborly relations.

Meeting Summary

Mr. Goudeau responded by acknowledging the presence of two-story homes in the area.
Mr. Goudeau expressed concerns that the proposed retention measures might create
issues for existing homes.
QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE
Committee Member Busching asked if the applicant is interested in continuing the case
to allow more time to work with the community. Mr. Fox stated that he does not think he
can go through the process another time.
Committee Member Darlene Jackson remarked that Phoenix is growing and
emphasized the goal of building a healthy and connected city. Committee Member
Jackson inquired whether the project would contribute to building a healthy community.
Mr. Fox stated that the project includes connected sidewalks and open space and stated
that detached sidewalks could be removed to widen the street. Committee Member
Jackson questioned if it is fair to take away something to give something. Mr. Fox stated
that when the neighborhood to the north bought their homes Baseline Road was already
there.
Committee Member Kay Shepard asked why a Traffic Statement was used instead of a
Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). Mr. Rogers explained that a Traffic Statement is
appropriate for smaller developments, but not for larger ones. Committee Member
Shepard asked what the current width of 20th Lane is. Mr. Fox explained that the current
street is 28 feet wide. Committee Member Shepard stated that the development should
not include two-story homes.
Committee Member Edward Aldama stated that the original question was about
walkability and questioned why the conversation had shifted to needing wider street that
do not help with walkability. Committee Member Aldama stated that detached sidewalks
would improve walkability and that people generally avoid cul-de-sacs. Aldama
advocated for the future residents and stated that he believes the proposed walkability
would be adequate and traffic would not have a significant impact.
Committee Member Kassandra Alvarez stated that the South Mountain VPC has high
standards for community engagement, asked what issues were encountered while
working with the community, and inquired about the timeframe for connecting to South
Mountain Avenue. Mr. Fox indicated that the Wallace Group is building high-end
products in the area and stated that the timeframe for the project is to move forward as
soon as possible, aiming to start around the beginning of next year. Committee Member
Alvarez further asked about the timeframe for connecting to South Mountain Avenue. Mr.
Fox stated that the connection to South Mountain Avenue is not an empty promise,
stated that the timing of Dorothy’s move is uncertain, and noted that the City of Phoenix
requires 20th Lane to be built for an eventual connection to South Mountain Avenue. Mr.
Fox acknowledged difficulties in working with neighborhoods, stated that his team is not
South Mountain Village Planning Committee
Meeting Summary
Z-58-24-8
willing to change the proposed density, and stated that his team is open to adjusting lot
sizes.
Committee Member Gene Holmerud stated that the proposal will add 20 residences to
the existing 52 residences that access the neighborhood via Baseline Road and asked
how the access compares other developments over the past ten years. Chair Marchuk
asked how many homes accessed Baseline Road on the self-storage special permit case
on 41st Street and Baseline Road. Mr. Rogers stated that over 100 homes access
Baseline Road via 41st Street and stated that he does not have statistics on access.
Committee Member Tamala Daniels stated that the VPC had approved subdivisions
with limited access in the past. Committee Member Emma Viera argued that precedent
should not dictate future decisions and emphasized the importance of unity within the
community. Committee Member Viera expressed a desire for the developer to be
invested in working with the community. Mr. Fox stated that if the neighborhood would
work with him, he would reciprocate and stated that both two-story and one-story homes
are planned.
Chair Marchuk asked the development team if they are open to stipulating a ratio of the
homes be one-story. Mr. Fox stated that the ratio could be stipulated and stated that the
mix of heights is determined by the builder.
Committee Member T. Daniels stated that the site to the north is also zoned R1-10 but
has different dimensions. Mr. Fox explained the proposal is utilizing the Planned
Residential Development option. Committee Member T. Daniels highlighted that
surrounding sites are R1-10, expressed that people seem unhappy with the access being
through the development, and asked if there is any stipulation requiring that the proposed
subdivision eventually connect to South Mountain Avenue. Mr. Rogers explained that,
per Stipulation No. 12, the City is requiring a temporary turn around at the terminus of
20th Lane that would eventually connect to South Mountain Avenue. Committee Member
Busching asked for clarification on Stipulation No. 12. Mr. Rogers explained Stipulation
No. 12 and explained the City would require 20th Lane to connect to South Mountain
Avenue if the property to the south develops with a use such as a subdivision, but not if a
use such as a single-family home is proposed.
Committee Member Busching inquired about the owner of the property to the south and
asked if an access easement across the property to the south is a possibility. Mr. Fox
stated that the subject site is owned by the same owner of the property to the south and
explained that an access easement would be a burden on the property owner to the
south. Committee Member T. Daniels asked why the property owner to the south would
put an easement on a home she currently lives in. Committee Member Busching
explained that the property owner to the south could sell an access easement at the
same time she sells the subject site.
Committee Member T. Daniels stated that when the development to the north was
rezoned, there were likely complaints from S-1 property owners in the area, explained
South Mountain Village Planning Committee
Meeting Summary
Z-58-24-8
there is always resistance to smaller housing products, and stated that it is unfair to
prohibit two-story homes when the neighboring area has two-story structures. Vice Chair
Arthur Greathouse III proposed stipulating that no two-story homes be placed next to
each other. Committee Member T. Daniels stated that it could be stipulated that no two-
story home can be next to each other if the developer is willing to offer the concession.
Committee Member T. Daniels asked about using flood maps to address retention
issues. Mr. Fox responded that the proposed retention basins will maintain any onsite
water, stated that flows would be monitored by the City of Phoenix, and explained that
the development team was required to overlay the flood maps during their assessment.
Mr. Fox stated that he is willing to work with the neighborhood on anything other than
reducing the proposed density.
Committee Member Aldama asked if the development would improve flooding issues in
the immediate area. Mr. Fox confirmed the retention basins would improve water issues.
Committee Member Jackson expressed concerns about the number of proposed units
and stated that traffic concerns are not being addressed.
Committee Member Holmerud stated that there was a question about requiring a ratio
of single-story and two-story homes, stated that in the past the VPC had stipulated that
two-story homes be in the center of the development, and stated that the stipulation will
not work on the proposed development because of the small site size.
Chair Marchuk explained that the proposal is technically R1-10, but the housing product
is more similar to an R1-6 product, stated that the density in the area ranges from 2.5 to
3.5 units per acre, and stated that proposed 4 units per acre seems aggressive. Chair
Marchuk stressed the importance of community engagement and proposed taking a
month-long break to continue the case to allow more time to work with the community.
Mr. Fox agreed to continue the case and suggested that a mediator be present at the
next neighborhood meeting.
Committee Member T. Daniels asked if information on the Rio Montaña Area Plan could
be distributed to the applicant and asked for clarification on the proposed density bonus.
Mr. Rogers explained that additionally amenities can be provided in exchange for a
higher allowed density. Committee Member T. Daniels asked if the proposal had been
reviewed to ensure the proposed bonus points would allow the proposed density. Mr.
Rogers explained that the final assessment of bonus points would be determined through
the development review process. Chair Marchuk ask what the proposed density is. Mr.
Rogers explained the proposed density is 4.4 units per acre. Committee Member T.
Daniels asked about the proposal’s compliance with development standards such as
setbacks. Mr. Rogers explained that a site plan showing home locations was not
provided.

Chair Trent Marchuk stated for the record that 17 comment cards had been received in
opposition to the project and thanked the community for attending.
Committee Member Marcia Busching emphasized the importance of ensuring that
people in attendance are aware of the ongoing negotiations and are able to participate.
Chair Marchuk stated his understanding that two individuals were appointed by the
community to be their representatives in the negotiations and added that others are
welcome to participate. Chair Marchuk asked about the process for people to get
involved. Mr. Rogers informed the committee that community members could reach out
to himself, the Chair, or the applicant to get involved.
Committee Member Brooks asked why there are still so many people in attendance
who are in opposition if progress is being made. Chair Marchuk stated that the need for
continued negotiation is the reason the applicant requested a continuance.
Committee Member Tamala Daniels inquired about the requirement for community
notification when a continuance is going to be requested. Committee Member Brooks
suggested that there should be a timeline to ensure people are informed when a
continuance is going to be requested. Chair Marchuk stated that the community
representatives were informed about the continuance as soon as he had heard.
Committee Member Greg Brownell commented that the community representatives are
not the only people who represent the community given the number of people in
attendance. Committee Member Gene Holmerud stated that the issue could be
resolved with a real-time website but acknowledged that this would be a significant
undertaking.
Committee Member T. Daniels asked how long prior to the meeting applicants are
required to inform the committee that a continuance is planned to be requested. Mr.
Rogers stated that applicants are allowed to request continuances up to the meeting
itself. Mr. Rogers explained that while it would be prudent to inform the community
earlier, there is no regulation requiring this. Committee Member Brooks asked what the
process would be to implement a new rule requiring earlier notification for continuances.
Mr. Rogers stated that he would have to follow up on the topic.

presenting the proposed stipulations.
APPLICANT PRESENTATION
John Fox, representing the applicant, presented the history of the rezoning process,
including his attendance at two previous Village Planning Committee (VPC) meetings.
Mr. Fox stated that the City is recommending approval of the rezoning request, explained
that his team had provided a site plan to the neighbors that reduced the number of units
from 20 to 18, explained that he had received additional stipulations from neighborhood
representatives asking for a 16-unit proposal, explained he thought his team and the
neighbors could meet in the middle with an 18-unit proposal, and explained that his team
is now proposing a 20-unit development.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Chair Trent Marchuk noted that there were 22 cards in opposition to the project, with no
cards in support and explained that five cards were submitted to Jai Goudeau, five to
Jewel Clark, and one card to Mike Josic.

South Mountain Village Planning Committee
Meeting Summary
Z-58-24-8
Jewel Clark explained where she lives and stated that she has consistently opposed an
18-unit development. Ms. Clark asked Mr. Fox about compliance with the Rio Montaña
Plan, expressed concerns about preserving the character of the area, and referenced
not opposed to a development but wants a development that fits the neighborhood. Ms.
Clark explained that she would support the proposal if it included stipulations provided by
the neighborhood representatives. Committee Member Marcia Busching asked how
the proposed neighborhood stipulations were developed and if they came from City of
Phoenix policy plans or previous cases. Ms. Clark explained that many of the
neighborhood requested stipulations came from the Rio Montaña Plan and other
rezoning cases in the area.
Julian Galindo explained he attended the meeting with the developer and that the
neighborhood had been against an 18-unit proposal, explained he is a civil engineer, and
stated that he has concerns about stormwater management and the project’s density.
Committee Member Busching asked a question regarding the retaining wall. Mr.
Galindo confirmed that he advocated for the stipulation regarding the retaining wall and
explained that the retaining wall will help to mitigate flooding concerns. Committee
Member Busching asked whether Mr. Fox was in opposition to the stipulation. Mr.
Galindo responded that the stipulation had been discussed but not agreed to.
Committee Member Greg Brownell inquired about the project's floodplain review. Mr.
Rogers explained that the project had gone through a preliminary floodplain review, but a
full grading and drainage review will occur when the development comes in for permitting.
Chair Marchuk stated that the existing homes to the north are four feet lower than the
proposed development, explained that the retaining wall will mitigate flooding issues, and
explained that Mr. Fox had agreed to the retaining wall in concept.
Kara Moreno echoed other neighbors’ concerns regarding the proposed development
and explained concerns about the impact of the development if additional street access is
not provided. Ms. Moreno emphasized the potential safety risks associated with
construction activities, including traffic and car safety. Ms. Moreno also raised concerns
about the increased length of the street, which she believed could encourage faster
driving, potentially leading to safety hazards due to speeding vehicles.
Jai Goudeau explained that he owns the first home built in the neighborhood to the
north, highlighted ongoing flooding issues, and stated traffic accidents occur every 2.5
days at 19th Avenue and Baseline Road. Mr. Goudeau expressed concerns about the
proposed street length and the temporary turnaround in the development, noting potential
difficulties for large trucks navigating the roundabout. Mr. Goudeau explained that the
community proposed several design alternatives and stated the developer backed out of
negotiations at the last minute. Mr. Goudeau expressed concerns about the meeting
noticing, stated that the HOA failed to send timely notices, and stated more neighbors
would be in attendance if they had been properly noticed. Mr. Goudeau stated that he is

Meeting Summary

not opposed to building a community, emphasized that all traffic from the new
development would flow through Wyndham Square, and explained the development
would effectively an extension of the Wyndham Square neighborhood.
Mike Josic voiced his understanding of the housing crisis but argued that reducing the
number of homes by four would not significantly impact the crisis. Mr. Josic emphasized
that the proposed development feels unfair to current residents and urged the committee
to vote against it.
APPLICANT RESPONSE
Mr. Fox provided examples of other developments in the area that were not held to the
same requirements the neighborhood is asking his team to comply with. Mr. Fox
explained that the neighborhood’s stipulations were received too late and that the staff is
already stipulating that the site plan, elevations, and landscape plan be reviewed by the
Planning Hearing Officer (PHO) and the South Mountain VPC. Mr. Fox explained that the
Rio Montaña plan is an older plan and explained that he disagrees with some of the
stipulations but stated that he is open to compromise on others.
QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE
Committee Member Coleman asked when other subdivisions Mr. Fox referenced were
built. Mr. Fox explained that they were constructed within the last 15 to 20 years.
Committee Member Beehler asked if Mr. Fox was the purchaser or the owner of the
property, who owns the parcel to the south, and asked about a potential access
easement across the parcel to the south. Mr. Fox explained that he is in escrow for the
purchase of the subject site, explained that the property owner also owns the parcel to
the south, and stated the owner is not open to an access easement across the property
to the south.
Chair Marchuk asked staff to explain the City's perspective on the street termination. Mr.
Rogers explained that the proposed street must be designed to accommodate a future
connection to the parcel to the south and stated that most potential uses for the southern
parcel, aside from a single-family home, would require this connection to the subject site.
Committee Member Busching asked if Mr. Fox was amenable to any of the
neighborhood’s stipulations. Mr. Fox explained which stipulations his team is not okay
with and others he is willing to accept.
Committee Member Coleman asked if Mr. Fox was willing to comply with a retaining
wall if approved by grading and drainage standards. Mr. Fox affirmed that he would
comply if necessary.
South Mountain Village Planning Committee
Meeting Summary
Z-58-24-8
Chair Marchuk mentioned that although the stipulation language was new, the content
had been received on Sunday.
Committee Member Petra Falcon asked if the current plan was the one that the
Planning Commission would see. Mr. Rogers explained that the stipulations are written
so that the plans will come back in front of the VPC through the PHO process and
explained that Mr. Fox may provide updated plans for the Planning Commission hearing.
Committee Kay Shepard asked about the VPC’s ability to stipulate to a specific site
plan. Mr. Rogers confirmed that the VPC can stipulate conformance to a site plan.
Committee Member Busching asked if there was an updated site plan. Mr. Rogers
confirmed that the applicant had submitted an updated site plan date stamped
September 5, 2024 and stated the site plan was included in the slide deck he had sent to
the VPC.
Committee Member Greg Brownell expressed concerns about denying the case and it
getting approved at the next hearing body without the VPC’s input. Committee Member
Brownell emphasized the need for more discussion, stated that an old plan does not
imply a weaker plan, and clarified that the overlay is not law but guidance. Committee
Member Brownell explained that if the committee opposes this, they are essentially out of
the discussion, expressed a preference to keep the case at the committee level,
explained that both citizens and the builder will need to compromise, and explained he
would like the development team to return with a proposal that the committee can vote
on.
Committee Member Beehler stated that the VPC should deny the project, stated the
proposal does not adequately address key access issues to Baseline Road. expressed a
belief that the property owner is selling prematurely, and explained that the owner should
sell the entire property.
Committee Member Holmerud stated that most arguments against the development
focus on perceived shortcomings and explained that the fact previous developments
were not held to the same standards should not prevent negotiations on the proposed
project.
Committee Member Brownell stated that the committee should not decline the proposal
and recommended continuing the case and explained that declining the project would
result in losing the opportunity for the VPC to impact the development.
Committee Member Beehler expressed that this project is unsuitable for the site at this
time and reiterated the recommendation to decline.
Committee Member Busching mentioned her usual support for the neighborhood but
expressed a different perspective due to the relatively small community. Committee
Member Busching explained that people have the right to buy and develop land and
South Mountain Village Planning Committee
Meeting Summary
Z-58-24-8
referenced that the Wyndham Square builder had constructed the development with a
stub road intended to connect to the adjacent parcel to the south. Committee Member
Busching acknowledged the hard work of the neighbors and the VPC and stated she
would like to make a motion to approve the rezoning request with additional stipulations.
Committee Member Holmerud questioned the financial viability of a project with 16 lots.
Chair Marchuk stated that his understanding is that 18 lots is the minimum acceptable
for the development.
Chair Marchuk echoed Committee Member Busching, explained that VPC members, the
applicant, and community representatives had been meeting weekly since the previous
month’s continuance of the case, and explained that the applicant declined to attend the
final meeting. Chair Marchuk explained that the site plan had been extensively reviewed
and explained that the layout makes the most sense with the current parcel dimensions.
Chair Marchuk stated that negotiations were going well until the neighborhood provided a
list of stipulations they would like considered, stated there was not adequate time to vet
the neighborhood stipulations, stated there is still an opportunity for negotiation, and
stated it may be premature to pass the project in its current form.
Committee Member Shepard stated that 18 lots are the bottom line for the developer,
while 16 lots are the maximum for the community and expressed skepticism about any
potential movement by either party on the proposal.
Committee Member Beehler explained there are ongoing access issues and expressed
concern about burdening neighbors with additional traffic.
Committee Member Shepard inquired about the traffic generated by an 18-lot
subdivision per day. Mr. Fox stated that traffic was analyzed by peak hour trips, not per
day.

Vice Chair Greathouse explained that he had been a part of the process, including
multiple iterations of the site plan, and stated it is unfortunate to have reached this point.
Vice Chair Greathouse explained that good collaboration had been happening but was
lost along the way. Vice Chair Greathouse stated that this is the most logical and feasible
plan and wished there was more support, as a lot of work had gone into reaching this
point. Vice Chair Greathouse emphasized that nobody was going to win everything or
concede on every negotiation point and stated his support for the project.

STAFF COMMENTS REGARDING VPC RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Stipulation No. 20 be deleted, as it seeks to limit the height of
the development to 32 feet. The maximum height permitted with the R1-10 Zoning
District is two stories and 30 feet and cannot be exceeded via a rezoning stipulation.
Since the maximum height requirement of 30 feet will apply, a stipulation limiting the
height to 30 feet is extraneous.

Principal Planner
Subject: ITEM NO. 6 (Z-58-24-8) - APPROXIMATELY 710 FEET NORTH AND 305
FEET WEST OF THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF 20TH AVENUE AND
SOUTH MOUNTAIN AVENUE
The purpose of this memo is to recommend the removal a stipulation in response to the
South Mountain Village Planning Committee (VPC) recommendation and to convey
additional opposition correspondence that has been received regarding this rezoning
request.
Rezoning Case No. Z-58-24-8 is a request to rezone 4.54 acres located approximately
710 feet north and 305 feet west of the northwest corner of 20th Avenue and South
Mountain Avenue from S-1 (Ranch or Farm Residence) to R1-10 (Single-Family
Residence District) to allow a single-family residential subdivision.
The South Mountain VPC heard this request on September 10, 2024, and
recommended approval, per the staff recommendation, with additional stipulations by a
vote of 7-5.
Staff recommends that Stipulation No. 20 be deleted, as it seeks to limit the height of
the development to 32 feet. The maximum height permitted with the R1-10 Zoning
District is two stories and 30 feet and cannot be exceeded via a rezoning stipulation.
Since the maximum height requirement of 30 feet will apply, a stipulation limiting the
height to 30 feet is not appropriate.
Staff recommends approval, per the modified stipulations in bold font below:
1. The conceptual site plan and landscape plan for future development of the site
shall be reviewed and approved by the Planning Hearing Officer through the

Enclosure
Opposition correspondence (236 pages)
July 1, 2024
My name is Constance Box and I live at 7719 S. 20th Dr. I am writing in opposition to the
application for development and rezoning case number Z-58-24-8 submitted by John Fox, which
proposes to rezone 4.5 acres of currently S-1 property to the maximum density allowed for
R-10, which is 4.5 (bonus).
I am opposed to multiple issues with this proposed development.
Density- problems
● This property is bordered on 2 sides (east and south) by established homes on S-1
properties. The north and west sides are bordered by homes on R-10 property at no
more than standard 3.5 density. This development proposes a bonus density of 4.5 (20
homes) in addition to ADUs.
o This density is inconsistent with the surrounding developed land (at traditional
<=3.5) and an inappropriate transition density for all east and southern
neighbors with homes on S-1 property.
o It is not aligned with the Rio Montana Plan which recommends lower densities
towards South Mount Park and gradual density steps between lower and higher
density areas. (Rio Montana Plan, pg. 17)
Density- solutions
● Appropriate density transition between S-1 and R-10 is R-18 or approx. 2 houses per
acre or 2.34 with bonus. Allowing construction but with appropriate accommodations
for the environment and surrounding neighborhoods will still further the city’s housing
goals and provide additional benefits to the surrounding communities as outlined below.
Traffic- problems
● In relation to inappropriate density, the only entrance/exit is through a 52-home
neighborhood to the north onto Baseline Rd. The neighborhood already suffers severely
from difficult entrance/exit due to the heavy traffic on Baseline while also directly across
from a commercial shopping center entrance/exit, which sees greater traffic than a
neighborhood.
o According to the ITE Trip Generation Report 10th Edition (Maricopa’s Traffic
Impact Study Manual references the ITE report as its guideline), a single-family
house generates 10 trips per day on average. That will increase traffic to an
already bottlenecked neighborhood by 200 trips per day on average, not
including traffic potentially generated by ADU residents.
● No southbound exit/entrance can be counted on b/c the land is currently being lived on
for the foreseeable future and waiting to see if that will eventually become an option to
alleviate traffic issues is not good planning.
● Fire and emergency vehicles will be subject to the same traffic congestion potentially
impacting safety, property, and health.
Traffic- solutions
● R-18 density (10 homes) to reduce the overall impact on traffic for the existing
neighborhood.
● Traffic impact study and recommendations stipulated before any approvals for
rezoning/development.
Housing design- problems
● The development proposes an unknown number of 2-story homes, which are not
compatible with the recommendations of the Rio Montana Plan to preserve views to
South Mountain (Rio Montana Plan, pgs. 22-23) and are inconsistent with the vast
majority of the surrounding homes, which are single-story.
● The designers have not incorporated porches, non-street-facing garage entrances or
other signature elements recommended by the Rio Montana Plan in their conceptual
designs.
Housing design- solutions
● Limit construction to single-story (most important).
● Require deep front porches.
● Require some designs to incorporate garages that do not face the street.
● Require more architectural variety and placement/orientation on lots.
Heat island/climate, trees/shade- problems
● The current stipulations list trees on either side of concrete sidewalks to comply with the
current tree and shade master plan, however, allowing up to a 60% housing footprint on
each lot does nothing to mitigate the heat island effect that will be exacerbated from
that much roof area absorbing and radiating heat.
Heat island/climate, trees/shade - solutions
● Require lower density zoning and more open space.
● Require use of available SRP flood irrigation to provide added cooling.
● Require high emissivity and high SRI roofing materials.
● Stipulate the most conservation-forward building practices for housing insulation and
heat island mitigation currently within the city codes and aligned with the city’s 2021
Climate Action Plan. We don’t have time for “business as usual” to curb climate change.
● Require shade trees on the east, south and west sides of all properties to help keep the
sun off the building walls and shade the ground.
● Require deep set front and back porches (which appear predominantly east/west facing
based on the lot orientation) to also keep the sun off building walls.
Lastly, as of this writing, Mr. Fox has made absolutely no effort to work with any of the
neighbors and address the concerns listed above, which he has heard in person at the only 2
meetings he called to present this plan to the surrounding property owners before having it
appear before the SMVPC.
At the second meeting, a month later, the plan had not changed and there were several
neighbors who confirmed they did not receive a second meeting notice letter in time to attend.
He told the neighbors who were able to attend that he would go back and see what he could do
to incorporate these concerns before the July 9 SMVPC meeting, but no such meeting has been
called.
He has not listened to, much less acted on, any of the neighbor’s concerns. His development
plan is completely incompatible and insensitive to the surrounding neighbors. This application
should not move forward.
Respectfully,
Constance Box

8008 S 20th Ave, Phoenix AZ 85041
July 8th, 2024
My name is Jose Angel Perea and I live at 8004 S 20th Ave. Phoenix, AZ 85041. I am writing in
opposition to the application for development and rezoning case number Z-58-24-8 submitted
by John Fox, which proposes to rezone 4.5 acres of currently S-1 property to the maximum
density allowed for R-10, which is 4.5 (bonus).
I am opposed to multiple issues with this proposed development.
Density- problems
● This property is bordered on 2 sides (east and south) by established homes on S-1
properties. The north and west sides are bordered by homes on R-10 properties at no
more than standard 3.5 density. This development proposes a bonus density of 4.5 (20
homes) in addition to ADUs.
o This density is inconsistent with the surrounding developed land (at traditional
<=3.5) and an inappropriate transition density for all east and southern
neighbors with homes on S-1 property.
o It is not aligned with the Rio Montana Plan which recommends lower densities
towards South Mount Park and gradual density steps between lower and higher
density areas. (Rio Montana Plan, pg. 17)
Density- solutions
● Appropriate density transition between S-1 and R-10 is R-18 or approx. 2 houses per
acre or 2.34 with bonus. Allowing construction but with appropriate accommodations
for the environment and surrounding neighborhoods will still further the city’s housing
goals and provide additional benefits including mitigating heat and preserving local
character to the surrounding communities.
Traffic- problems
● In relation to inappropriate density, the only entrance/exit is through Wyndham Square,
a 52-home neighborhood to the north onto Baseline Rd. The neighborhood already
suffers severely from difficult entrance/exit due to the heavy traffic on Baseline while
also directly across from a commercial shopping center entrance/exit, which sees
greater traffic than a neighborhood.
o According to the ITE Trip Generation Report 10th Edition (Maricopa’s Traffic
Impact Study Manual references the ITE report as its guideline), a single-family
house generates 10 trips per day on average. That will increase traffic to an
already bottlenecked neighborhood by 200 trips per day on average, not
including traffic potentially generated by ADU residents.
● No southbound exit/entrance can be counted on b/c the land is currently being lived on
for the foreseeable future and waiting to see if that will eventually become an option to
alleviate traffic issues is not good planning and does nothing to alleviate immediate
problems.
● Fire and emergency vehicles will be subject to the same traffic congestion potentially
impacting safety, property, and health.
Traffic- solutions
● R-18 density (10 homes) to reduce the overall impact on traffic for the existing
neighborhood.
● Traffic impact study and recommendations stipulated before any approvals for
rezoning/development.
Housing design- problems
● The development proposes an unknown number of 2-story homes, which are not
compatible with the recommendations of the Rio Montana Plan to preserve views to
South Mountain (Rio Montana Plan, pgs. 22-23) and are inconsistent with the vast
majority of the surrounding homes, which are single-story.
● The designers have not incorporated porches, non-street-facing garage entrances or
other signature elements recommended by the Rio Montana Plan in their conceptual
designs.
Housing design- solutions
● Limit construction to single-story (most important).
● Require deep front porches.
● Require some designs to incorporate garages that do not face the street.
● Require more architectural variety and placement/orientation on lots.
Heat island/climate, trees/shade- problems
● The current stipulations list trees on either side of concrete sidewalks to comply with the
current tree and shade master plan, however, allowing up to a 60% housing footprint on
each lot does nothing to mitigate the heat island effect that will be exacerbated from
that much roof area absorbing and radiating heat.
Heat island/climate, trees/shade - solutions
● Require lower density zoning and more open space.
● Require use of available SRP flood irrigation to provide added cooling.
● Require high emissivity and high SRI roofing materials.
● Stipulate the most conservation-forward building practices for housing insulation and
heat island mitigation currently within the city codes and aligned with the city’s 2021
Climate Action Plan. We don’t have time for “business as usual” to curb climate change.
● Require shade trees on the east, south and west sides of all properties to help keep the
sun off the building walls and shade the ground.
● Require deep set front and back porches (which appear predominantly east/west facing
based on the lot orientation) to also keep the sun off building walls.
This proposal has apparently been planned since last year since the elevations are dated
September 2023 and the first plan review was scheduled for November 2023. Yet Mr. Fox sent
out the first meeting notice to the neighbors for May 18, 2024. As of this writing, Mr. Fox has
made absolutely no effort to work with any of the neighbors and address the concerns listed
above, which he has heard in person at the only 2 meetings he called to present this plan to the
surrounding property owners before having it appear before the SMVPC.
At the second meeting, on June 15, the plan had not changed and there were several neighbors
who confirmed they did not receive a second meeting notice letter in time to attend. His
colleague told the neighbors who were able to attend that he would go back and see what he
could do to incorporate these concerns before the July 9 SMVPC meeting, but no such meeting
has been called.
He has not listened to, much less acted on, any of the neighbor’s concerns. His development
plan is completely incompatible and insensitive to the surrounding neighbors. This application
should not move forward.
Respectfully,
Jose Angel Perea

2004 W. Harwell Rd - Wyndham Square neighborhood

1/1
July 2, 2024
My name is David Fong and I live at 2004 W. Harwell Rd. I am writing in opposition to the
application for development and rezoning case number Z-58-24-8submitted by John Fox, which
proposes to rezone 4.5 acres of currently S-1 property to the maximum density allowed for R-
10, which is 4.5 (bonus).
I am opposed to multiple issues with this proposed development.
Density- problems
x This property is bordered on 2 sides (east and south) by established homes on S-1
properties. The north and west sides are bordered by homes on R-10 property at no
more than standard 3.5 density. This development proposes a bonus density of 4.5 (20
homes) in addition to ADUs.
o This density is inconsistent with the surrounding developed land (at traditional
<=3.5) and an inappropriate transition density for all east and southern
neighbors with homes on S-1 property.
o It is not aligned with the Rio Montana Plan which recommends lower densities
towards South Mount Park and gradual density steps between lower and higher
density areas. (Rio Montana Plan, pg. 17)
Density- solutions
x Appropriate density transition between S-1 and R-10 is R-18 or approx. 2 houses per
acre or 2.34 with bonus. Allowing construction but with appropriate accommodations
for the environment and surrounding neighborhoods will still further the city’s housing
goals and provide additional benefits to the surrounding communities as outlined below.
Traffic- problems
x In relation to inappropriate density, the only entrance/exit is through a 52-home
neighborhood to the north onto Baseline Rd. The neighborhood already suffers severely
from difficult entrance/exit due to the heavy traffic on Baselinewhile also directly across
from a commercial shopping center entrance/exit, which sees greater traffic than a
neighborhood.
o According to the ITE Trip Generation Report 10th Edition (Maricopa’s Traffic
Impact Study Manual references the ITE report as its guideline), a single-family
house generates 10 trips per day on average. That will increase traffic to an
already bottlenecked neighborhood by 200 tripsper day on average, not
including traffic potentially generated by ADU residents.
x No southbound exit/entrance can be counted on b/c the land is currently being lived on
for the foreseeable future and waiting to see if that will eventually become an option to
alleviate traffic issues is not good planning.
x Fire and emergency vehicles will be subject to the same traffic congestion potentially
impacting safety, property, and health.
Traffic- solutions
x R-18 density (10 homes) to reduce the overall impact on traffic for the existing
neighborhood.
x Traffic impact study and recommendations stipulatedbefore any approvals for
rezoning/development.
Housing design- problems
x The development proposesan unknown number of 2-story homes, which are not
compatible with the recommendations of the Rio Montana Plan to preserve views to
South Mountain (Rio Montana Plan, pgs. 22-23) and are inconsistent with the vast
majority of the surrounding homes, which are single-story.
x The designers have not incorporated porches, non-street-facing garage entrances or
other signature elements recommended by the Rio Montana Plan in their conceptual
designs.
Housing design- solutions
x Limit construction to single-story (most important).
x Require deep front porches.
x Require some designs to incorporate garages that do not face the street.
x Require more architectural variety and placement/orientation on lots.
Heat island/climate, trees/shade- problems
x The current stipulations list trees on either side of concrete sidewalks to comply with the
current tree and shade master plan, however, allowing up to a 60% housing footprint on
each lot does nothing to mitigate the heat island effect that will be exacerbated from
that much roof area absorbing and radiating heat.
Heat island/climate, trees/shade- solutions
x Require lower density zoning and more open space.
x Require use of available SRP flood irrigation to provide added cooling.
x Require high emissivityand high SRI roofing materials.
x Stipulate the most conservation-forward building practices for housing insulation and
heat island mitigation currently within the city codes and aligned with the city’s 2021
Climate Action Plan. We don’t have time for “business as usual” to curb climate change.
x Require shade trees on the east, south and west sides of all properties to help keep the
sun off the building walls and shade the ground.
x Require deep set front and back porches (which appear predominantly east/west facing
based on the lot orientation) to also keep the sun off building walls.
Lastly, as of this writing, Mr. Fox has made absolutely no effort to work with any of the
neighbors and address the concerns listed above, which he has heard in person at the only 2
meetings he called to present this plan to the surrounding property owners before having it
appear before the SMVPC.
At the second meeting, a month later, the plan had not changed and there were several
neighbors who confirmed they did not receive a second meeting notice letter in time to attend.
He told the neighbors who were able to attend that he would go back and see what he could do
to incorporate these concerns before the July 9 SMVPC meeting, but no such meeting has been
called.
He has not listened to, much less acted on, any of the neighbor’s concerns. His development
plan is completely incompatible and insensitive to the surrounding neighbors. This application
should not move forward.
Respectfully,
David Fong

My name is Jai Goudeau and I live at 2013 W. Harwell Road Phoenix, 85041. I am writing in
opposition to the Rezoning request filed for approximately 4.5 acres site located at 700’ feet
north and 305’ feet west of the northwest corner of South Mountain Ave and 20th Ave, rezoning
case number Z-58-24 to change zoning from S1 to R1-10.
Attached is my letter of opposition.

To whom it may concern,
My name is Jai Goudeau and I live at 2013 W. Harwell Road Phoenix, 85041. I am
writing in opposition to the Rezoning request filed for approximately 4.5 acres site
located at 700’ feet north and 305’ feet west of the northwest corner of South Mountain
Ave and 20th Ave, rezoning case number Z-58-24 to change zoning from S1 to R1-10.
I am President of the Board for the Wyndham Square Neighborhood Homeowners
Association and resident. I am opposed to rezoning due to the increased traffic impact
it would have in our community. Our neighborhood only has one road into it on 20 th
drive from Baseline Rd with Branham Ln and Harwell Rd connecting to 20 th Ln which
dead ends south of Harwell Rd. (see Fig 1 attached). 20th Dr is a standard road with a
traffic circle mid-block. Our community already struggles to pull out onto Baseline Rd
during peak hours, often having to wait long times, especially if making a left-hand turn
in the mornings due to people entering the businesses on the north side.
I am concerned about the layout of the proposed development only having one road in
and if it has sufficient space for construction vehicles, emergency vehicles and
deliveries to turn around. I believe it is most likely that those vehicles would end up
backing all the way up to Harwell Rd to exit the development.
When we purchased our home in 2003, we paid a premium to have a view of the
mountains and if the proposed development were to continue with two story homes
built, it would obstruct our view of the mountains ruining our investment.
The developer proposes adding retention areas against the properties on the north side
of the development. A major concern that we have is that when our homes were built,
they had to have their own water retention area in the yard. This puts our homes way
below the property’s elevation to the south where the proposed development will be.
The property sits approximately 4 feet higher than our property. Attached are images
showing the elevation below the fence line (see fig2 attached) (ladder is 6feet for
reference) and an overview of the elevation of the two properties (see fig3 attached). In
the past we have had problems with our yards flooding due to heavy rainfall and the
water entering our yard through tunnels left by wildlife. We see this currently with the
residence at 2009 W Harwell Rd when the resident to the south put up a block wall
around their property causing their yard to flood every time it rains. This problem will be
prevalent for my property as well as the property of 2017 W Harwell and 7828 S. 20th
Ln.
Mr Fox has not made an effort to work with the neighborhood regarding these concerns
and I believe he has not acted in good faith to address the community and involve us in
the process based on the following:
In the first meeting he arranged at a Barro’s Pizza parlor on a Saturday afternoon in
which I received notice 4 days prior and some did not receive notice at all. There was
loud music playing and very few people could hear his presentation or respond. I
requested that we have another meeting in a more suitable location so I reserved a
meeting room at Caesar Chavez Library on May 28 th for June 15th and he said he would
send out notices.
At the second meeting on June 15 th , John Fox was in attendance with Mike Haer. In the
meeting several attendees addressed their concerns as well as I and Mike Haer said he
wanted to take this information and address his team and he and John Fox agreed to
have another meeting to discuss their findings prior to the hearing.
I contacted John Fox as I saw a survey crew doing measurements on 06/18/24. I asked
John if he was still having another community meeting as he requested or if he was
moving forward with the Village Planning Committee meeting to which he replied that he
was not going to have another neighborhood meeting because he wanted to have a
constructive meeting and was tired of getting beaten up. I reminded him that he and
Mike requested that we have another meeting and he told me that he had not spoken to
Mike and that Mike would be out of town during the Village Planning Committee
Meeting. I then requested that John send me a copy of his mailing list that he has been
using to notify the neighborhoods because there have been so many residents saying
that they are not receiving them. He told me that he sent the notices out to the
residents within 600 feet of the property boundary and that he would send me the
mailing list that he used.
Upon evaluation of the mailing list, I discovered that the 600 feet covered only
approximately half of the neighborhood.
I believe that a developer acting in good faith would have sent out notices to the entire
neighborhood being affected in this situation. It was determined that approximately 23
of 52 homes were not notified of the meetings by John Fox.

Hi Samuel,£
Here is my opposition letter. Also, I wanted to include£that a lot of people are
continuously£doing turn arounds on our driveway and it is getting very annoying.
Thank you.

1/1
07/03/2024,
My name is Delilah Delgai and I live at 7711 S. 20th Drive Phoenix AZ 85041. I am wri ng in
opposi on to the applica on for development and rezoning case number Z-58-24-8 submi ed
by John Fox, which proposes to rezone 4.5 acres of currently S-1 property to the maximum
density allowed for R-10, which is 4.5 (bonus).
I am opposed to mul ple issues with this proposed development.
Density- problems
● This property is bordered on 2 sides (east and south) by established homes on S-1
proper es. The north and west sides are bordered by homes on R-10 property at no
more than standard 3.5 density. This development proposes a bonus density of 4.5 (20
homes) in addi on to ADUs.
o This density is inconsistent with the surrounding developed land (at tradi onal
<=3.5) and an inappropriate transi on density for all east and southern neighbors
with homes on S-1 property.
o It is not aligned with the Rio Montana Plan which recommends lower densi es
towards South Mount Park and gradual density steps between lower and higher
density areas. (Rio Montana Plan, pg. 17)
Density- solu ons
● Appropriate density transi on between S-1 and R-10 is R-18 or approx. 2 houses per
acre or 2.34 with bonus. Allowing construc on but with appropriate accommoda ons
for the environment and surrounding neighborhoods will s ll further the city’s housing
goals and provide addi onal benefits to the surrounding communi es as outlined below.
Traffic- problems
● In rela on to inappropriate density, the only entrance/exit is through a 52-home
neighborhood to the north onto Baseline Rd. The neighborhood already suffers severely
from difficult entrance/exit due to the heavy traffic on Baseline while also directly across
from a commercial shopping center entrance/exit, which sees greater traffic than a
neighborhood.
o According to the ITE Trip Genera on Report 10th Edi on (Maricopa’s Traffic
Impact Study Manual references the ITE report as its guideline), a single-family
house generates 10 trips per day on average. That will increase traffic to an
already bo lenecked neighborhood by 200 trips per day on average, not
including traffic poten ally generated by ADU residents.
● No southbound exit/entrance can be counted on b/c the land is currently being lived on
for the foreseeable future and wai ng to see if that will eventually become an op on to
alleviate traffic issues is not good planning.
● Fire and emergency vehicles will be subject to the same traffic conges on poten ally
impac ng safety, property, and health.
Traffic- solu ons
● R-18 density (10 homes) to reduce the overall impact on traffic for the exis ng
neighborhood.
● Traffic impact study and recommenda ons s pulated before any approvals for
rezoning/development.
Housing design- problems
● The development proposes an unknown number of 2-story homes, which are not
compa ble with the recommenda ons of the Rio Montana Plan to preserve views to
South Mountain (Rio Montana Plan, pgs. 22-23) and are inconsistent with the vast
majority of the surrounding homes, which are single-story.
● The designers have not incorporated porches, non-street-facing garage entrances or
other signature elements recommended by the Rio Montana Plan in their conceptual
designs.
Housing design- solu ons
● Limit construc on to single-story (most important).
● Require deep front porches.
● Require some designs to incorporate garages that do not face the street.
● Require more architectural variety and placement/orienta on on lots.
Heat island/climate, trees/shade- problems
● The current s pula ons list trees on either side of concrete sidewalks to comply with the
current tree and shade master plan, however, allowing up to a 60% housing footprint on
each lot does nothing to mi gate the heat island effect that will be exacerbated from
that much roof area absorbing and radia ng heat.
Heat island/climate, trees/shade - solu ons
● Require lower density zoning and more open space.
● Require use of available SRP flood irriga on to provide added cooling.
● Require high emissivity and high SRI roofing materials.
● S pulate the most conserva on-forward building prac ces for housing insula on and
heat island mi ga on currently within the city codes and aligned with the city’s 2021
Climate Ac on Plan. We don’t have me for “business as usual” to curb climate change.
● Require shade trees on the east, south and west sides of all proper es to help keep the
sun off the building walls and shade the ground.
● Require deep set front and back porches (which appear predominantly east/west facing
based on the lot orienta on) to also keep the sun off building walls.
Lastly, as of this wri ng, Mr. Fox has made absolutely no effort to work with any of the
neighbors and address the concerns listed above, which he has heard in person at the only 2
mee ngs he called to present this plan to the surrounding property owners before having it
appear before the SMVPC.
At the second mee ng, a month later, the plan had not changed and there were several
neighbors who confirmed they did not receive a second mee ng no ce le er in me to a end.
He told the neighbors who were able to a end that he would go back and see what he could do
to incorporate these concerns before the July 9 SMVPC mee ng, but no such mee ng has been
called.
He has not listened to, much less acted on, any of the neighbor’s concerns. His development
plan is completely incompa ble and insensi ve to the surrounding neighbors. This applica on
should not move forward.
Respec ully,
Delilah Delgai

My name is Lorenzo Gonzales] and I live at 7815 S 20th Dr. I am writing in opposition to the
application for development and rezoning case number Z-58-24-8 submitted by John Fox, which
proposes to rezone 4.5 acres of currently S-1 property to the maximum density allowed for R-
10, which is 4.5 (bonus).
I am opposed to multiple issues with this proposed development.
Density- problems
• This property is bordered on 2 sides (east and south) by established homes on S-1
properties. The north and west sides are bordered by homes on R-10 property at no
more than standard 3.5 density. This development proposes a bonus density of 4.5 (20
homes) in addition to ADUs.
• This density is inconsistent with the surrounding developed land (at traditional
<=3.5) and an inappropriate transition density for all east and southern
neighbors with homes on S-1 property.
• It is not aligned with the Rio Montana Plan which recommends lower densities
towards South Mount Park and gradual density steps between lower and higher
density areas. (Rio Montana Plan, pg. 17)
Density- solutions
• Appropriate density transition between S-1 and R-10 is R-18 or approx. 2 houses per
acre or 2.34 with bonus. Allowing construction but with appropriate accommodations
for the environment and surrounding neighborhoods will still further the city’s housing
goals and provide additional benefits to the surrounding communities as outlined below.
Traffic- problems
• In relation to inappropriate density, the only entrance/exit is through a 52-home
neighborhood to the north onto Baseline Rd. The neighborhood already suffers severely
from difficult entrance/exit due to the heavy traffic on Baseline while also directly across
from a commercial shopping center entrance/exit, which sees greater traffic than a

• According to the ITE Trip Generation Report 10th Edition (Maricopa’s Traffic

house generates 10 trips per day on average. That will increase traffic to an
already bottlenecked neighborhood by 200 trips per day on average, not
including traffic potentially generated by ADU residents.
• No southbound exit/entrance can be counted on b/c the land is currently being lived on
for the foreseeable future and waiting to see if that will eventually become an option to
alleviate traffic issues is not good planning.
• Fire and emergency vehicles will be subject to the same traffic congestion potentially
impacting safety, property, and health.
Traffic- solutions
• R-18 density (10 homes) to reduce the overall impact on traffic for the existing
neighborhood.
• Traffic impact study and recommendations stipulated before any approvals for
rezoning/development.
Housing design- problems
• The development proposes an unknown number of 2-story homes, which are not
compatible with the recommendations of the Rio Montana Plan to preserve views to
South Mountain (Rio Montana Plan, pgs. 22-23) and are inconsistent with the vast
majority of the surrounding homes, which are single-story.
• The designers have not incorporated porches, non-street-facing garage entrances or

Housing design- solutions
• Limit construction to single-story (most important).
• Require deep front porches.
• Require some designs to incorporate garages that do not face the street.
• Require more architectural variety and placement/orientation on lots.
Heat island/climate, trees/shade- problems
• The current stipulations list trees on either side of concrete sidewalks to comply with the
current tree and shade master plan, however, allowing up to a 60% housing footprint on
each lot does nothing to mitigate the heat island effect that will be exacerbated from
that much roof area absorbing and radiating heat.
Heat island/climate, trees/shade - solutions
• Require lower density zoning and more open space.
• Require use of available SRP flood irrigation to provide added cooling.
• Require high emissivity and high SRI roofing materials.
• Stipulate the most conservation-forward building practices for housing insulation and
heat island mitigation currently within the city codes and aligned with the city’s 2021
Climate Action Plan. We don’t have time for “business as usual” to curb climate change.
• Require shade trees on the east, south and west sides of all properties to help keep the
sun off the building walls and shade the ground.
• Require deep set front and back porches (which appear predominantly east/west facing
based on the lot orientation) to also keep the sun off building walls.
Lastly, as of this writing, Mr. Fox has made absolutely no effort to work with any of the
neighbors and address the concerns listed above, which he has heard in person at the only 2
meetings he called to present this plan to the surrounding property owners before having it
appear before the SMVPC.
At the second meeting, a month later, the plan had not changed and there were several
neighbors who confirmed they did not receive a second meeting notice letter in time to attend.
He told the neighbors who were able to attend that he would go back and see what he could do
to incorporate these concerns before the July 9 SMVPC meeting, but no such meeting has been
called.
He has not listened to, much less acted on, any of the neighbor’s concerns. His development
plan is completely incompatible and insensitive to the surrounding neighbors. This application
should not move forward.

07/03/2024,
My name is Shangel Cas llo and I live at 7711 S. 20th Drive Phoenix AZ 85041. I am wri ng in
opposi on to the applica on for development and rezoning case number Z-58-24-8 submi ed
by John Fox, which proposes to rezone 4.5 acres of currently S-1 property to the maximum
density allowed for R-10, which is 4.5 (bonus).
I am opposed to mul ple issues with this proposed development.
Density- problems
● This property is bordered on 2 sides (east and south) by established homes on S-1
proper es. The north and west sides are bordered by homes on R-10 property at no
more than standard 3.5 density. This development proposes a bonus density of 4.5 (20
homes) in addi on to ADUs.
o This density is inconsistent with the surrounding developed land (at tradi onal
<=3.5) and an inappropriate transi on density for all east and southern neighbors
with homes on S-1 property.
o It is not aligned with the Rio Montana Plan which recommends lower densi es
towards South Mount Park and gradual density steps between lower and higher
density areas. (Rio Montana Plan, pg. 17)
Density- solu ons
● Appropriate density transi on between S-1 and R-10 is R-18 or approx. 2 houses per
acre or 2.34 with bonus. Allowing construc on but with appropriate accommoda ons
for the environment and surrounding neighborhoods will s ll further the city’s housing
goals and provide addi onal benefits to the surrounding communi es as outlined below.
Traffic- problems
● In rela on to inappropriate density, the only entrance/exit is through a 52-home
neighborhood to the north onto Baseline Rd. The neighborhood already suffers severely
from difficult entrance/exit due to the heavy traffic on Baseline while also directly across
from a commercial shopping center entrance/exit, which sees greater traffic than a
neighborhood.
o According to the ITE Trip Genera on Report 10th Edi on (Maricopa’s Traffic
Impact Study Manual references the ITE report as its guideline), a single-family
house generates 10 trips per day on average. That will increase traffic to an
already bo lenecked neighborhood by 200 trips per day on average, not
including traffic poten ally generated by ADU residents.
● No southbound exit/entrance can be counted on b/c the land is currently being lived on
for the foreseeable future and wai ng to see if that will eventually become an op on to
alleviate traffic issues is not good planning.
● Fire and emergency vehicles will be subject to the same traffic conges on poten ally
impac ng safety, property, and health.
Traffic- solu ons
● R-18 density (10 homes) to reduce the overall impact on traffic for the exis ng
neighborhood.
● Traffic impact study and recommenda ons s pulated before any approvals for
rezoning/development.
Housing design- problems
● The development proposes an unknown number of 2-story homes, which are not
compa ble with the recommenda ons of the Rio Montana Plan to preserve views to
South Mountain (Rio Montana Plan, pgs. 22-23) and are inconsistent with the vast
majority of the surrounding homes, which are single-story.
● The designers have not incorporated porches, non-street-facing garage entrances or
other signature elements recommended by the Rio Montana Plan in their conceptual
designs.
Housing design- solu ons
● Limit construc on to single-story (most important).
● Require deep front porches.
● Require some designs to incorporate garages that do not face the street.
● Require more architectural variety and placement/orienta on on lots.
Heat island/climate, trees/shade- problems
● The current s pula ons list trees on either side of concrete sidewalks to comply with the
current tree and shade master plan, however, allowing up to a 60% housing footprint on
each lot does nothing to mi gate the heat island effect that will be exacerbated from
that much roof area absorbing and radia ng heat.
Heat island/climate, trees/shade - solu ons
● Require lower density zoning and more open space.
● Require use of available SRP flood irriga on to provide added cooling.
● Require high emissivity and high SRI roofing materials.
● S pulate the most conserva on-forward building prac ces for housing insula on and
heat island mi ga on currently within the city codes and aligned with the city’s 2021
Climate Ac on Plan. We don’t have me for “business as usual” to curb climate change.
● Require shade trees on the east, south and west sides of all proper es to help keep the
sun off the building walls and shade the ground.
● Require deep set front and back porches (which appear predominantly east/west facing
based on the lot orienta on) to also keep the sun off building walls.
Lastly, as of this wri ng, Mr. Fox has made absolutely no effort to work with any of the
neighbors and address the concerns listed above, which he has heard in person at the only 2
mee ngs he called to present this plan to the surrounding property owners before having it
appear before the SMVPC.
At the second mee ng, a month later, the plan had not changed and there were several
neighbors who confirmed they did not receive a second mee ng no ce le er in me to a end.
He told the neighbors who were able to a end that he would go back and see what he could do
to incorporate these concerns before the July 9 SMVPC mee ng, but no such mee ng has been
called.
He has not listened to, much less acted on, any of the neighbor’s concerns. His development
plan is completely incompa ble and insensi ve to the surrounding neighbors. This applica on
should not move forward.
Respec ully,
Shangel Cas llo

Report Suspicious
Good morning Samuel Rogers,
Please see attached for the opposition letter.
I, Funyung£Mon, the resident and homeowner at 8115 S 21st Drive, Phoenix, AZ
85041. I missed the past two meetings because the meeting notice was mailed out
very£late. When I received the notice, the meeting date was already£past.

1/1
07-04-24
My name is Funyung Mon and I live at 8115 S 21st Dr, Phoenix, AZ 85041 for more than 15
years. I am writing in opposition to the application for development and rezoning case number
Z-58-24-8 submitted by John Fox, which proposes to rezone 4.5 acres of currently S-1 property
to the maximum density allowed for R-10, which is 4.5 (bonus).
I am opposed to multiple issues with this proposed development.
Density- problems
x This property is bordered on 2 sides (east and south) by established homes on S-1
properties. The north and west sides are bordered by homes on R-10 property at no
more than standard 3.5 density. This development proposes a bonus density of 4.5 (20
homes) in addition to ADUs.
x This density is inconsistent with the surrounding developed land (at traditional
<=3.5) and an inappropriate transition density for all east and southern
neighbors with homes on S-1 property.
x It is not aligned with the Rio Montana Plan which recommends lower densities
towards South Mount Park and gradual density steps between lower and higher
density areas. (Rio Montana Plan, pg. 17)
Density- solutions
x Appropriate density transition between S-1 and R-10 is R-18 or approx. 2 houses per
acre or 2.34 with bonus. Allowing construction but with appropriate accommodations
for the environment and surrounding neighborhoods will still further the city’s housing
goals and provide additional benefits to the surrounding communities as outlined
below.
Traffic- problems
x In relation to inappropriate density, the only entrance/exit is through a 52-home
neighborhood to the north onto Baseline Rd. The neighborhood already suffers severely
from difficult entrance/exit due to the heavy traffic on Baseline while also directly
across from a commercial shopping center entrance/exit, which sees greater traffic than
a neighborhood.
x According to the ITE Trip Generation Report 10 Edition (Maricopa’s Traffic
th
Impact Study Manual references the ITE report as its guideline), a single-family
house generates 10 trips per day on average. That will increase traffic to an
already bottlenecked neighborhood by 200 trips per day on average, not
including traffic potentially generated by ADU residents.
x No southbound exit/entrance can be counted on b/c the land is currently being lived on
for the foreseeable future and waiting to see if that will eventually become an option to
alleviate traffic issues is not good planning.
x Fire and emergency vehicles will be subject to the same traffic congestion potentially
impacting safety, property, and health.
Traffic- solutions
x R-18 density (10 homes) to reduce the overall impact on traffic for the existing
neighborhood.
x Traffic impact study and recommendations stipulated before any approvals for
rezoning/development.
Housing design- problems
x The development proposes an unknown number of 2-story homes, which are not
compatible with the recommendations of the Rio Montana Plan to preserve views to
South Mountain (Rio Montana Plan, pgs. 22-23) and are inconsistent with the vast
majority of the surrounding homes, which are single-story.
x The designers have not incorporated porches, non-street-facing garage entrances or
other signature elements recommended by the Rio Montana Plan in their conceptual
designs.
Housing design- solutions
x Limit construction to single-story (most important).
x Require deep front porches.
x Require some designs to incorporate garages that do not face the street.
x Require more architectural variety and placement/orientation on lots.
Heat island/climate, trees/shade- problems
x The current stipulations list trees on either side of concrete sidewalks to comply with
the current tree and shade master plan, however, allowing up to a 60% housing
footprint on each lot does nothing to mitigate the heat island effect that will be
exacerbated from that much roof area absorbing and radiating heat.
Heat island/climate, trees/shade - solutions
x Require lower density zoning and more open space.
x Require use of available SRP flood irrigation to provide added cooling.
x Require high emissivity and high SRI roofing materials.
x Stipulate the most conservation-forward building practices for housing insulation and
heat island mitigation currently within the city codes and aligned with the city’s 2021
Climate Action Plan. We don’t have time for “business as usual” to curb climate change.
x Require shade trees on the east, south and west sides of all properties to help keep the
sun off the building walls and shade the ground.
x Require deep set front and back porches (which appear predominantly east/west facing
based on the lot orientation) to also keep the sun off building walls.
Lastly, as of this writing, Mr. Fox has made absolutely no effort to work with any of the
neighbors and address the concerns listed above, which he has heard in person at the only 2
meetings he called to present this plan to the surrounding property owners before having it
appear before the SMVPC.
At the second meeting, a month later, the plan had not changed and there were several
neighbors who confirmed they did not receive a second meeting notice letter in time to attend.
He told the neighbors who were able to attend that he would go back and see what he could do
to incorporate these concerns before the July 9 SMVPC meeting, but no such meeting has been
called.
He has not listened to, much less acted on, any of the neighbor’s concerns. His development
plan is completely incompatible and insensitive to the surrounding neighbors. This application
should not move forward.

For: City of Phoenix Planning and Development Department, Samuel Rogers, John Fox
In regard to zoning change application #Z-58-24-8
My name is Gabriel Betancourt, I am the property owner at 7823 S. 20th drive and have been
here since June of 2009. Please accept this letter as testimony of concern against the rezoning
proposal near the Wyndham Square community. The is a small, semiprivate neighborhood that
is only accessible through a private cul-de-sac street. This is one of the main reasons that
attracted me to purchase my home. I know many families in the neighborhood and keep an eye
out for each other. I understand local traffic patterns, events and community attitude towards
our small neighborhood. Approval of the rezoning application will allow entrance to a new
residential development via OUR neighborhood and disrupt our peace of mind tremendously.
We can anticipate two years of construction, an increase in traffic during and after. Deliveries,
school buses, city services, and emergency response time will increase, and the peace/love of
our little neighborhood will decrease. The Wyndham Square community should not carry the
burden and aftermath for a landlocked development project. We should not give up the reason
why we chose to live here and why we stay.
Please feel free to reach me anytime at betancourtfamily@yahoo.com

This proposal has apparently been planned since last year since the elevations are dated
September 2023 and the first plan review was scheduled for November 2023. Yet Mr. Fox sent
out the first meeting notice, with less than the 10 days required lead time, to the neighbors for
May 18, 2024. As of this writing, Mr. Fox has made absolutely no effort to work with any of the
neighbors and address the concerns listed above, which he has heard in person at the only 2

for the environment and surrounding neighborhoods will s ll further the city’s housing
goals and provide addi onal benefits to the surrounding communi es as outlined below.
Traffic- problems
x In rela on to inappropriate density, the only entrance/exit is through a 52-home
neighborhood to the north onto Baseline Rd. The neighborhood already suffers severely
from difficult entrance/exit due to the heavy traffic on Baseline while also directly across
from a commercial shopping center entrance/exit, which sees greater traffic than a
neighborhood.
o According to the ITE Trip Genera on Report 10th Edi on (Maricopa’s Traffic
Impact Study Manual references the ITE report as its guideline), a single-family
house generates 10 trips per day on average. That will increase traffic to an
already bo lenecked neighborhood by 200 trips per day on average, not
including traffic poten ally generated by ADU residents.
x No southbound exit/entrance can be counted on b/c the land is currently being lived on
for the foreseeable future and wai ng to see if that will eventually become an op on to
alleviate traffic issues is not good planning.
x Fire and emergency vehicles will be subject to the same traffic conges on poten ally
impac ng safety, property, and health.
Traffic- solu ons
x R-18 density (10 homes) to reduce the overall impact on traffic for the exis ng
neighborhood.
x Traffic impact study and recommenda ons s pulated before any approvals for
rezoning/development.
Housing design- problems
x The development proposes an unknown number of 2-story homes, which are not
compa ble with the recommenda ons of the Rio Montana Plan to preserve views to
South Mountain (Rio Montana Plan, pgs. 22-23) and are inconsistent with the vast
majority of the surrounding homes, which are single-story.
x The designers have not incorporated porches, non-street-facing garage entrances or
other signature elements recommended by the Rio Montana Plan in their conceptual
designs.
Housing design- solu ons
x Limit construc on to single-story (most important).
x Require deep front porches.
x Require some designs to incorporate garages that do not face the street.
x Require more architectural variety and placement/orienta on on lots.
Heat island/climate, trees/shade- problems
x The current s pula ons list trees on either side of concrete sidewalks to comply with the
current tree and shade master plan, however, allowing up to a 60% housing footprint on
each lot does nothing to mi gate the heat island effect that will be exacerbated from
that much roof area absorbing and radia ng heat.
Heat island/climate, trees/shade - solu ons
x Require lower density zoning and more open space.
x Require use of available SRP flood irriga on to provide added cooling.
x Require high emissivity and high SRI roofing materials.
x S pulate the most conserva on-forward building prac ces for housing insula on and
heat island mi ga on currently within the city codes and aligned with the city’s 2021
Climate Ac on Plan. We don’t have me for “business as usual” to curb climate change.
x Require shade trees on the east, south and west sides of all proper es to help keep the
sun off the building walls and shade the ground.
x Require deep set front and back porches (which appear predominantly east/west facing
based on the lot orienta on) to also keep the sun off building walls.
Lastly, as of this wri ng, Mr. Fox has made absolutely no effort to work with any of the
neighbors and address the concerns listed above, which he has heard in person at the only 2
mee ngs he called to present this plan to the surrounding property owners before having it
appear before the SMVPC.
At the second mee ng, a month later, the plan had not changed and there were several
neighbors who confirmed they did not receive a second mee ng no ce le er in me to a end.
He told the neighbors who were able to a end that he would go back and see what he could do
to incorporate these concerns before the July 9 SMVPC mee ng, but no such mee ng has been
called.
He has not listened to, much less acted on, any of the neighbor’s concerns. His development
plan is completely incompa ble and insensi ve to the surrounding neighbors. This applica on
should not move forward.

Report Suspicious
Dear Mr. Rogers,
We are attaching a letter to register opposition to the proposed development being discussed
tomorrow in case number Z-58-24-8.££
Regards,
Ravi & Snigdha Sharma
https://outlook.office365.com/mail/inbox/id/AAQkADNkMzc1MjA2LTRjOTktNGNjNi04OWVkLTM5NzllZmM4N2U4MwAQADN4YVKsxwJCoCyS87P%2…
1/1
July 8, 2024
Our names are Ravi & Snigdha Sharma and we live at 8012 S 20th Ave. Phoenix, AZ 85041. We
are writing in opposition to the application for development and rezoning case number Z-58-24-
8 submitted by John Fox, which proposes to rezone 4.5 acres of currently S-1 property to the
maximum density allowed for R-10, which is 4.5 (bonus).
We are opposed to multiple issues with this proposed development.
Density - problems
x This property is bordered on 2 sides (east and south) by established homes on S-1
properties. The north and west sides are bordered by homes on R-10 properties at no
more than standard 3.5 density. This development proposes a bonus density of 4.5 (20
homes) in addition to ADUs.
o This density is inconsistent with the surrounding developed land (at traditional
<=3.5) and an inappropriate transition density for all east and southern
neighbors with homes on S-1 property.
o It is not aligned with the Rio Montana Plan which recommends lower densities
towards South Mount Park and gradual density steps between lower and higher
density areas. (Rio Montana Plan, pg. 17)
Density - solutions
x Appropriate density transition between S-1 and R-10 is R-18 or approx. 2 houses per
acre or 2.34 with bonus. Allowing construction but with appropriate accommodations
for the environment and surrounding neighborhoods will still further the city’s housing
goals and provide additional benefits including mitigating heat and preserving local
character to the surrounding communities.
Traffic- problems
x In relation to inappropriate density, the only entrance/exit is through Wyndham Square,
a 52-home neighborhood to the north onto Baseline Rd. The neighborhood already
suffers severely from difficult entrance/exit due to the heavy traffic on Baseline while
also directly across from a commercial shopping center entrance/exit, which sees
greater traffic than a neighborhood.
o According to the ITE Trip Generation Report 10th Edition (Maricopa’s Traffic
Impact Study Manual references the ITE report as its guideline), a single-family
house generates 10 trips per day on average. That will increase traffic to an
already bottlenecked neighborhood by 200 trips per day on average, not
including traffic potentially generated by ADU residents.
x No southbound exit/entrance can be counted on b/c the land is currently being lived on
for the foreseeable future and waiting to see if that will eventually become an option to
alleviate traffic issues is not good planning and does nothing to alleviate immediate
problems.
x Fire and emergency vehicles will be subject to the same traffic congestion potentially
impacting safety, property, and health.
Traffic - solutions
x R-18 density (10 homes) to reduce the overall impact on traffic for the existing
neighborhood.
x Traffic impact study and recommendations stipulated before any approvals for
rezoning/development.
Housing design - problems
x The development proposes an unknown number of 2-story homes, which are not
compatible with the recommendations of the Rio Montana Plan to preserve views to
South Mountain (Rio Montana Plan, pgs. 22-23) and are inconsistent with the vast
majority of the surrounding homes, which are single-story.
x The designers have not incorporated porches, non-street-facing garage entrances or
other signature elements recommended by the Rio Montana Plan in their conceptual
designs.
Housing design - solutions
x Limit construction to single-story (most important).
x Require deep front porches.
x Require some designs to incorporate garages that do not face the street.
x Require more architectural variety and placement/orientation on lots.
Heat island/climate, trees/shade - problems
x The current stipulations list trees on either side of concrete sidewalks to comply with the
current tree and shade master plan, however, allowing up to a 60% housing footprint on
each lot does nothing to mitigate the heat island effect that will be exacerbated from
that much roof area absorbing and radiating heat.
Heat island/climate, trees/shade - solutions
x Require lower density zoning and more open space.
x Require use of available SRP flood irrigation to provide added cooling.
x Require high emissivity and high SRI roofing materials.
x Stipulate the most conservation-forward building practices for housing insulation and
heat island mitigation currently within the city codes and aligned with the city’s 2021
Climate Action Plan. We don’t have time for “business as usual” to curb climate change.
x Require shade trees on the east, south and west sides of all properties to help keep the
sun off the building walls and shade the ground.
x Require deep set front and back porches (which appear predominantly east/west facing
based on the lot orientation) to also keep the sun off building walls.
This proposal has apparently been planned since last year since the elevations are dated
September 2023 and the first plan review was scheduled for November 2023. Yet Mr. Fox sent
out the first meeting notice to the neighbors for May 18, 2024. As of this writing, Mr. Fox has
made absolutely no effort to work with any of the neighbors and address the concerns listed
above, which he has heard in person at the only 2 meetings he called to present this plan to the
surrounding property owners before having it appear before the SMVPC.
At the second meeting, on June 15, the plan had not changed and there were several neighbors
who confirmed they did not receive a second meeting notice letter in time to attend. His
colleague told the neighbors who were able to attend that he would go back and see what he
could do to incorporate these concerns before the July 9 SMVPC meeting, but no such meeting
has been called.
He has not listened to, much less acted on, any of the neighbor’s concerns. His development
plan is completely incompatible and insensitive to the surrounding neighbors. This application
should not move forward.

Hello,
Please see my attached full letter regarding Zoning Case z-58-24-8
Lynnette Myers
7828 S 20th Lane
Phoenix, AZ 85041
https://outlook.office365.com/mail/inbox/id/AAQkADNkMzc1MjA2LTRjOTktNGNjNi04OWVkLTM5NzllZmM4N2U4MwAQAAJQQ7eQgLxPoHKjBU%2F…
1/1
July 2024
My name is Lynnette Myers and I live at 7828 S. 20th Lane, Phoenix, AZ 85041-7716 I
am writing in stern opposition to the application for development and rezoning case
number Z-58-24-8 submitted by John Fox, which proposes to rezone 4.5 acres of
currently S-1 property to the maximum density allowed for R-10, which is 4.5 (bonus).
I am absolutely opposed to multiple issues with this proposed development.
Density- problems
• This property is bordered on 2 sides (east and south) by established homes on
S-1 properties. The north and west sides are bordered by homes on R-10
property at no more than standard 3.5 density. This development proposes a
bonus density of 4.5 (20 homes) in addition to ADUs.
o This density is inconsistent with the surrounding developed land (at
traditional <=3.5) and an inappropriate transition density for all east and
southern neighbors with homes on S-1 property.
o It is not aligned with the Rio Montana Plan which recommends lower
densities towards South Mount Park and gradual density steps between
lower and higher density areas. (Rio Montana Plan, pg. 17)
Density- solutions
• Appropriate density transition between S-1 and R-10 is R-18 or approx. 2 houses
per acre or 2.34 with bonus. Allowing construction but with appropriate
accommodations for the environment and surrounding neighborhoods will still
further the city’s housing goals and provide additional benefits to the surrounding
communities as outlined below.
Traffic- problems
• In relation to inappropriate density, the only entrance/exit is through a 52-
home neighborhood to the north onto Baseline Rd. The neighborhood
already suffers severely from difficult entrance/exit due to the heavy traffic on
Baseline while also directly across from a commercial shopping center
entrance/exit, which sees greater traffic than a neighborhood.
o According to the ITE Trip Generation Report 10th Edition (Maricopa’s
Traffic Impact Study Manual references the ITE report as its guideline), a
single-family house generates 10 trips per day on average. That will
increase traffic to an already bottlenecked neighborhood by 200 trips
per day on average, not including traffic potentially generated by
ADU residents.
• No southbound exit/entrance can be counted on b/c the land is currently
being lived on for the foreseeable future and waiting to see if that will
eventually become an option to alleviate traffic issues is not good
planning.
• Fire and emergency vehicles will be subject to the same traffic congestion
potentially impacting safety, property, and health.
Traffic- solutions
• R-18 density (10 homes) to reduce the overall impact on traffic for the existing
neighborhood.
• Traffic impact study and recommendations stipulated before any approvals
for rezoning/development.
Housing design- problems
• The development proposes an unknown number of 2-story homes, which
are not compatible with the recommendations of the Rio Montana Plan to
preserve views to South Mountain (Rio Montana Plan, pgs. 22-23) and are
inconsistent with the vast majority of the surrounding homes, which are single-
story.
• The designers have not incorporated porches, non-street-facing garage
entrances or other signature elements recommended by the Rio Montana
Plan in their conceptual designs.
Housing design- solutions
• Limit construction to single-story (most important).
• Require deep front porches.
• Require some designs to incorporate garages that do not face the street.
• Require more architectural variety and placement/orientation on lots.
Heat island/climate, trees/shade- problems
• The current stipulations list trees on either side of concrete sidewalks to comply
with the current tree and shade master plan, however, allowing up to a 60%
housing footprint on each lot does nothing to mitigate the heat island effect that
will be exacerbated from that much roof area absorbing and radiating heat.
Heat island/climate, trees/shade - solutions
• Require lower density zoning and more open space.
• Require use of available SRP flood irrigation to provide added cooling.
• Require high emissivity and high SRI roofing materials.
• Stipulate the most conservation-forward building practices for housing insulation
and heat island mitigation currently within the city codes and aligned with the
city’s 2021 Climate Action Plan. We don’t have time for “business as usual” to
curb climate change.
• Require shade trees on the east, south and west sides of all properties to help
keep the sun off the building walls and shade the ground.
• Require deep set front and back porches (which appear predominantly east/west
facing based on the lot orientation) to also keep the sun off building walls.
Lastly, as of this writing, Mr. Fox has made absolutely no effort to work with any
of the neighbors and address the concerns listed above, which he has heard in
person at the only 2 meetings he called to present this plan to the surrounding
property owners before having it appear before the SMVPC.
At the second meeting, a month later, the plan had not changed and there were several
neighbors who confirmed they did not receive a second meeting notice letter in time to
attend. He told the neighbors who were able to attend that he would go back and see
what he could do to incorporate these concerns before the July 9 SMVPC meeting, but
no such meeting has been called.
He has not listened to, much less acted on, any of the neighbor’s concerns. His
development plan is completely incompatible and insensitive to the surrounding
neighbors. This application should not in anyway move forward.
ADDITIONAL PERSONAL PERSPECTIVES & CONCERNS
I absolutely have major concern about this matter since my home will be
impacted the most!!!
The existing pasture that is undeveloped land to the south of our subdivision has been
this way since prior to our subdivision was build back in 2003. This pasture was
absolutely influential in my dissension and others to purchase in Wydham Sq in the first
place. We were all looking for a small quite neighborhood where we could live and
actually know our neighbors. My choice in which lot I purchased was 100% influenced
by the undeveloped land and all the good that comes from that and the views that I
enjoy daily to the south mountains.
If the owner of this undeveloped land has sold to a developer to rezone and build they
are entitled within the appropriate guidelines of the Rio Mountain Plan; but they need to
have their own access to that development – NOT THROUGH OUR
NEIGHBORHOOD!! They should have arranged with the seller access off of S 19th Ave
or off W South Mountain Ave. This option of our neighborhood should NOT even be a
possibility!!
This development as is would dramatically change the safety of our neighborhood and
my home! Regardless of random drivers not realizing that the neighborhood has no
outlet we have come together to make things as safe as possible with signs, cameras
and communication to help one another in our neighborhood. I have suffered both a
home burglary and a stolen car – I know these kind of crimes will only increase
dramatically for all of us with the proposed access through our community into another
community behind us.
This MUST NOT HAPPEN!!
I have always pushed for our community to become a gated community and I thing that
matter needs to be on the table again regardless of the rezoning and proposed
development to the south of us. IF somehow this matter moves forward despite our
entire neighborhood that are 100% opposed then I believe it should become mandatory
that our community have entrance gates installed to help keep us all safe!!
Respectfully,
Lynnette Myers

Dear Members of the Planning and Zoning Department,
I am wri ng to oppose rezoning case Z-58-24-8 due to the serious impact it will have on traffic and access to
Baseline Road. Baseline Road is already heavily congested, and during the day, it’s nearly impossible to make a
le turn, just wai ng for 1 car to gain access to baseline during the busy mes could add up to 10 minutes to
a commute, even if they are taking a right turn. The proposed rezoning will only worsen this issue, making it
even harder for residents to safely and efficiently use this vital road.
In addi on, this rezoning will increase residen al traffic in front of my house by 200 percent, further disrup ng
our community. There have been no significant changes to the rezoning plans to address these concerns. The
added traffic and accessibility challenges are too severe to ignore, and they threaten the quality of life in our
neighborhood.
Please reject this rezoning proposal to protect our neighborhood’s safety, accessibility, and quality of life.
Thank you for your considera on.

Re: Rezoning Case No. Z-58-24
To: Samuel Rogers, City of Phoenix Village Planner
Joshua Bednarek, City of Phoenix Planning and Development Director
South Mountain Village Planning Commi ee
Dear Mr. Bednarek, Commi ee and Department Members,
I am wri ng to express my concerns related to the S-1 to R1-10 rezoning for the proposed development of land
owned by Dorothy M. Hallock for the benefit of John Fox and William Seymour Co, Inc., referenced in the case
number cited above. My family and neighbors are concerned the necessary thresholds for rezoning approval,
and ongoing neighborhood concerns about the proposed development, have not been sa sfactorily addressed
by the developer and exis ng landowner. This proposal is not compa ble with the scale and character of the
neighborhood and adjacent residen al uses. It is also not in keeping with the Rio Montana Area Plan in several
respects. There are unique challenges presented in this area related to exis ng proper es including livestock,
infrastructure, and a history of flooding on this site and adjacent proper es.
In addi on, the proposal does not meet the requirements of R1-10 for lot coverage, rear and side set-back
distances, and minimum common space areas. In fact, they are not even defined for review by the City, the
Village Planning Commission, or the neighborhood stakeholders. We do not agree that this rezoning should be
completed as a Planned Residen al Development case, which allows the pe oner to overcome the
standard zoning requirements without variances. PRDs are typically reserved for larger subdivisions. The
standard zoning requirements, including the lot coverage, rear and side setbacks, and common space area
requirements, are there to protect the community from significant changes in the character of the community.
It appears it will be necessary to not only rezone the Subject site, but to obtain variances from the City for a
number of the required zoning elements in order to develop it as proposed.
The developer has entered into an agreement to purchase the land from Ms. Hallock, con ngent upon the
success of this change in zoning from S-1 to R1-10. The sale will not take place unless the rezoning is completed,
which is a self-imposed condi on created by the property owner. Please note:
x There are no provisions of the S-1 zoning which create a hardship for the current property owner.
x There are no special circumstances or condi ons applying to this land or its current use, which do
not also apply to other proper es in the community.
x The rezoning and what appear to be the need for extensive variances is not necessary for the
preserva on or enjoyment of the owner’s property rights.

8/13/24, 9:01 AM Mail - Samuel S Rogers - Outlook
Our neighbors and family have determined that the approval of this rezoning applica on will be detrimental to
people living and working in the vicinity, to the adjacent property owners, and to the welfare of the public in
general.
Traffic Concerns: The development of the subject site, as proposed, will cause a significant increase in vehicular
traffic in adjacent residen al areas, including on extremely ght and narrow streets which were not originally
designed to accommodate another development. Studies should be undertaken to determine if it is
appropriate to bring the traffic into this proposed development from the north, or from the property owner’s
adjoining lot to the south, where there is a higher capacity and wider city street close to a main arterial (19th
Avenue). This is an op on available to the property owner and developer, and it is possible to design an entry to
the Subject site in this way. We do not know why Ms. Hallock has previously objected to providing an easement
for this purpose, which makes it another self-imposed condi on.
Flooding Concerns: There are unknown impacts this development may cause to the surrounding proper es
including drainage from flooding. The Subject site already has a history of flooding, and the prior flooding has
detrimentally impacted proper es to the north. Further decreasing the ability of the land to accommodate
flooding, or raising it out of the current 500-year floodplain level, will nega vely impact the surrounding
proper es. Because civil engineering drawings and finished floor or street eleva ons are not available for
review, it is impossible to know how much the development will further impact the surrounding proper es.
Many of the neighbors abu ng the Subject site have sep c systems designed to flow toward this property
which could be impacted by diversion of any drainage onto their proper es. As designed, the proposed
development has virtually no open space or common areas, the lot coverage appears to be greater than what is
allowed by R1-10 zoning, and given the history of flooding this is a significant concern to the community. A
hydrology, floodplain and drainage study, as well as civil engineering drawings detailing how the drainage will
be addressed, should be reviewed and evaluated prior to approval of this rezoning proposal, to determine if
rezoning of this site is suitable for the surrounding community.
Infrastructure: There are also infrastructure concerns for this type of higher density infill development related
to water connec on capacity, sewer connec ons and wastewater capacity. It is unknown whether a water and
sewer connec on to the north in a 20+ year old development, designed to meet the needs of the number of
houses there, would accommodate the addi onal homes proposed due to its age and previous design. A
further study and report should be required to determine if addi onal sewer capacity, modifica on of the
current wastewater system, a li sta on and possibly changes to easement distances will be necessary in the
exis ng surrounding neighborhoods in order to meet the latest 2021 wastewater design standards for a new
development. The Planning and Development Department at the City of Phoenix should provide a technical
review to the Village Planning Commission and affected neighborhood stakeholders.
Rio Montana Area Plan: The Subject rezoning proposal conflicts with numerous elements cited in the Rio
Montana Area Plan. It is not in conformance with the vision of the area or what we have seen from other area
developments which encourage pedestrian and equestrian ac vity. It does not achieve a density transi on from
north to south in a decreasing manner, and is in opposi on to the General Plan and Land Use Map for the area
which indicates a maximum density of 3.5. There is no explana on of how the developer intends to reach the
90 “bonus points” needed for density greater than 3.5 du/acre or why the proposed density meets the
requirements of R1-10 zoning. Bonus points are also typically applied in much larger subdivision PRD cases, not
in sites as small as this one, in these types of infill loca ons.
The zoning applica on indicates that the proposal is consistent with the General Plan and Land Use Map, but it
exceeds it. The ability to achieve bonus points and a breakdo100wn of how they are applied to this proposal
should be available for review and considera on by the Village Planning Commi ee and the neighborhood
stakeholders. Many developments in this area have setbacks for horse trails or pedestrian trails. They also
contain perimeter walls with landscape features to prevent one long slab of concrete block facing into
neighboring areas. The Rio Montana Area Plan also encourages variety in lot width, staggered setbacks, rear
loaded garages, roof line and building façade variety and limited privacy fencing – none of which appears to be
included in the proposed development design. In many respects, the designs shown as elements to be avoided
in the Rio Montana plan (Figures 82, 83, 84, 87), are actually included in the plan for the project as designed.
Based on the issues raised above, this rezoning applica on should come in with a full preliminary plat, in
conformance with standard R1-10 zoning and without the many variances which appear to be required to
develop the site.

Our family and neighbors are not opposed to residen al development as long as it does not nega vely impact
the community in favor of one property owner. We recognize that a range of housing op ons is necessary to
con nue the economic viability of the community. However, in this case, it appears to present a significant
detrimental impact as designed, and no benefit to the community surrounding the Subject site. It appears this
rezoning will only benefit Ms. Hallock and the broker seeking to rezone the property, which is not in keeping
with the Core Values stated in the City’s General Plan. We urge the South Mountain Village Planning
Commission, the Phoenix Planning and Zoning Department and the City of Phoenix Planning and Development
Director to consider the above concerns, address them if possible, and work with the community stakeholders
to create a development which will meet the needs of the community.

Report Suspicious
To the SMVPC,
My name is Jewel Clark, and my home is at 2020 W. South Mountain Ave., Phoenix, AZ, 85041. I am
writing in continued opposition to zoning case Z-58-24-8. The broker, Mr. John Fox, has still not
worked with us to create a compatible proposal that the community could support.
The first meeting notice from Mr. Fox was sent to neighbors less than the 10 days required by the city.
Our letter was postmarked June 10 for a June 15 meeting. We received it June 14. The location for the
meeting was a pizza parlor where no one could hear the presentation or see the plans. Mr. Fox did not
have adequate answers for neighbor concerns and was uninterested in any changes to his proposal.
Mr. Fox agreed to another meeting but never made any attempt to have one. Mr. Jai Goudeau,
president of the Wyndham Square neighborhood to the north, made a room reservation at Cesar
Chavez Library and called Mr. Fox to see if he would meet after having not heard from him for over a
week after the first meeting. At that meeting, he still did not have answers to address neighbor
concerns, and he had made no changes to his plans. At the first SMVPC meeting, he again had no
interest in trying to work with the neighbors or alter his plans. After the SMVPC voted for a
continuance with the instructions that he should try to work with the neighbors, he made no effort to
contact any of us to arrange to talk. It was only when concerned members of the SMVPC took time out
of their busy schedules to try and help and arranged a meeting the week before August 13, that he
came to the table with no change in his plan except to modify the widths of the lots slightly, so they
weren’t all the same size and to move the storm basin/retention to a slightly different area. At that
meeting, he said he would prepare a new plan with 2 less houses, which we said was still too high, and
to stagger the lots so the property lines wouldn’t line up with each other across the street. This is not
working with the neighbors. This is not meaningful change. No one in the community has seen what
he plans to present at the August 13 meeting. There is no neighbor we know of that supports even
what little we know of this new plan and no one supported the original one.
The density is not compatible with the surrounding developments, plain and simple. The core goals
and vision for the Rio Montana Plan is to preserve rural character, open space, and promote balanced,
high-quality development with higher densities in the northern portion.
The Rio Montana Site Plan Design emphasizes that a new development should consider the larger
context in which a proposed site is located. The parcel in question is sandwiched between low density
R1-10 homes and acre+ lot homes. Mr. Fox has completely disregarded the context of the area he
wants to rezone for a bonus density of at least 18 homes on 4.54 acres when there is no density
around it greater than 3.23 du/ac and the majority is lower.

Just because Mr. Fox can request more density doesn’t mean it’s appropriate for the area and it
doesn’t mean he should be rewarded with any bonus for not doing the right thing in the first
place: proposing a reasonable plan and working with the neighbors to refine it for everyone’s
benefit. There is no precedent for it in the area for good reason: it is simply incompatible with the
communities already established.
Wording about compatibility and context for surrounding areas in the Rio Montana Plan and the
Phoenix General Plan are there to provide governing bodies like the SMVPC the power and oversight
to curb one-size-fits-all zoning. This situation calls for the use of that power.
Mr. Fox’s plan is so bare bones (at least what was submitted for the staff report and what the
neighbors have seen) that it is nearly impossible to know if he even understands and is incorporating
key design elements from the Site Plan Design and the Single-Family design criteria such as including:
x Deep overhangs and deep porches.
x Planting trees on the east and west of buildings.
x Planting windbreak perimeter trees.
x Using deep green, wide-leafed trees for shade such as the Chinese Pistache.
x Limiting the use of 2-story buildings.
x Creating terminal vistas.
x Allowing for adequate non-straight driveways and side-load/rear-load garages.
££ No more than 40% of driveways should be straight.
x Varieties in roofing materials and facades.
x Changing façade designs, roofing materials and roof ridge orientation at least every third
house.
x Staggered housing setbacks.
x Angled housing orientation on lots.
x Truly varied lot widths of at least 10’ or more.
x Meaningful open space.
Mr. Fox has not addressed neighbor concerns about flood mitigation for both communities to the east
and west nor has he addressed traffic concerns for the Wyndham Square neighborhood to the north
which is the only access to Baseline Rd. and any entrance/exit to the proposed development.
All 52 homes in Wyndham Square have on-lot retention in addition to the storm basins at the
entrance. Mr. Fox has only proposed storm basins, which do not appear to be appreciably bigger than
Wyndham Square’s and no on-lot retention. This property is subject to the same runoff patterns as
Wyndham Square. There is no hydrology report that confirms his planned runoff mitigation is
sufficient and does not pose a danger to either the acre+ lots on the east or Wyndham Square to the
north.

Since Wyndham Square was built in approx. 2003, traffic on Baseline has increased by nearly 500%.
There is only one in/out and that is onto Baseline. Neighbors report that it is extremely difficult to get
in and out of the neighborhood. An additional 18 or more homes will add 180-200 more car trips per
house per day into this neighborhood, dramatically exacerbating an already difficult situation.
Do we think a density of 3.5 du/ac or approx. 15-16 houses is truly appropriate? No. R1-18 or at least
no more of a density than is present in Wyndham Square, which is 3 du/ac would be appropriate.
Lowering the density to no more than 3.5 du/ac is a compromise. Does any lowering of density help
ameliorate traffic for Wyndham Square? Yes, some. Does lower density help with flood mitigation? Yes,
because there can be more open space allotted for additional retention. Does lower density help
provide room to incorporate the design and site plan elements of the Rio Montana Plan? Yes.
Rio Montana calls out a step density of 2-3.5 on pg. 17. There’s no allowance for more than that. If we
are going to hold developers accountable to design criteria, we should hold them to the other
elements in the Plan as well. Make context a criterion and hold developers accountable when they
don’t do it themselves. I respectfully urge you to help us create a plan that keeps density to no more
than 3.5 du/ac as our compromise and as consistent with the Rio Montana Plan. Help us create a plan
that incorporates the well-considered design and site plan elements the Rio Montana Plan calls for. If
this broker doesn’t want to follow the rules and work with the community, please vote no.
Sincerely,
Jewel Clark

Dear Mr. Rogers and Committee Members,
My name is Candace McDonald Ramsey, and I reside at 2012 W. Harwell Rd; Phoenix AZ 85041. I am
writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed development under case number Z-58-24-8.
Despite ongoing discussions, it is clear that the developer has not made any significant changes to the

current proposal does not adequately consider the impact on our neighborhood, including potential
issues related to traffic, infrastructure, and overall quality of life.
As a resident invested in the well-being and future of our community, I urge you to reject this
development in its current form. We need a plan that truly reflects the needs and interests of the
residents, rather than one that prioritizes external interests at our expense.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I am opposed to Z-58-24-8. The current plan does not comply with Rio Montana criteria and I
am not in favor of the cul-de-sac design for practical reasons.
Our community welcomes development in our area, but we want development to be
compatible with the existing character and quality of the existing neighborhoods, uphold the
requirements for zoning, the Phoenix General Plan, and the Rio Montana Plan.
We support:
A maximum density of 16 houses to allow for more elements of the RIo Montana criteria to be
implemented.
Limiting 2-story homes to no more than 20% of the total.
Inclusion of the stipulations submitted to the SMVPC by Jewel Clark and Jai Goudeau to the
