Background/Issues/Analysis

SUBJECT SITE
1. This request is to rezone 9.78 acres located approximately 340 feet north of the
northwest corner of 27th Avenue and Baseline Road from S-1 (Ranch or Farm
Residence) to R1-10 (Single-Family Residence District) for a 16-lot single-family
residential community.

GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION
2. The General Plan Land Use Map Designation for the subject site is Residential 0
to 1 dwelling units per acre. The proposal is inconsistent with the existing
General Plan Land Use Map designation; however, a General Plan Amendment
is not required since the site is under 10 acres.

The proposal is compatible with the General Plan Land Use Map designations
surrounding the site. The surrounding designations are as follows:

North
Residential 3.5 to 5 dwelling
units per acre

East (across 27th Avenue)
Residential 1 to 2 dwelling
units per acre

South
Residential 0 to 1 dwelling
units per acre

West
Residential 3.5 to 5 dwelling
units per acre
General Plan Land Use Map

SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING
3. The subject site contains a small farm and residence and is currently zoned S-1
(Ranch or Farm Residence). The request for R1-10 (Single-Family Residence
District) will add to an existing housing type in the area and will be located nearby
the retail center to the west.

North, east, and west of the subject site are existing single-family subdivisions,
with R1-10 (Single-Family Residence District) zoning to the north and east, and
R1-8 (Single-Family Residence District) zoning to the west.
Staff Report: Z-74-22-8
February 10, 2023

East of the subject site is
also a retail center, zoned S-
1 (Approved C-1) (Ranch or
Farm Residence, Approved
Neighborhood Retail).

South of the subject site is a
car dealer and auto body
shop within Maricopa
County, zoned County C-2,
a vacant lot within Maricopa
County, zoned County RU-
43, and a single-family home
zoned S-1 (Ranch or Farm
Residence). Zoning Sketch Map
Source: Planning and Development Department
The proposed land use is consistent with the surrounding land uses and as
currently proposed, would be an appropriate transition between large lots zoned
S-1 and County RU-43 to the south and traditional lots zoned R1-10 to the north.
Additionally, R1-10 zoning is consistent with the zoning designations to the north
and east.

ADOPTED AREA PLANS
4. Laveen Southwest Growth Study
The subject site is located within the boundaries of the Laveen Southwest
Growth Study, which was developed in 1997 to analyze the existing conditions of
the Laveen Village and provide a land use and design planning framework to
help shape the growth that Laveen was starting to experience, while accounting
for newly annexed farmland as well as the future development of the South
Mountain Freeway Loop, which has since been completed.

This plan designates the project site as Residential 0 to 1 dwelling units per acre.
Although not consistent with this designation, the development will incorporate
enhanced landscaping along 27th Avenue, per Stipulation No. 7, an element
proposed in the study to minimize the impact of housing adjacent to public rights-
of-way.

The Laveen Southwest Growth Study provides a framework for an overall multi-
use trail system which connects major community assets such as the Laveen
Conveyance Channel, public parks and open space areas, and the South
Mountain Preserve. This proposed development will be connected to the
multiuse trail along Baseline Road, which will connect to destinations and
promote overall trail connectivity in Laveen.
Staff Report: Z-74-22-8
February 10, 2023

The Laveen Southwest Growth
Study also outlines specific design
policies and standards for various
types of developments that will
enhance Laveen’s built
environment while remaining
respectful of its agricultural
heritage. The study encourages
all new developments to use
durable, high-quality building
materials and to provide
enhanced building design that will
contribute to the character of the
area. The study also encourages
residential developments to have
entry features to identify
themselves, including
incorporating landscaping along
the entry, and using open fencing,
other than chain link, to help
maintain Laveen’s open
character. Staff is recommending
Stipulation No. 3 and sub-
stipulation 3.a to ensure future
elevations exhibit high quality
architectural design and are
consistent with the architectural Laveen Southwest Growth Study Land Use Map
Source: Planning and Development Department
style found in the Laveen area.
Staff is also recommending
Stipulation No. 5 regarding landscaping at the project entry and Stipulation No. 4
regarding partial view fencing.

PROPOSAL
5. Site Plan
The conceptual site plan, attached as an exhibit, proposes 16 single-family
residential lots. Since the site plan does not meet block design as required by
Phoenix City Code, the site plan cannot be stipulated to general conformance.
Variances, or site plan modifications, will also be required for the substandard lot
widths noted for Lots 2, 3 and 15. For these reasons, general conformance to the
site plan is not stipulated. To ensure the proposed development remains
compatible with the surrounding neighborhoods, staff recommends a maximum
density of two dwelling units per acre, per Stipulation No. 1. The lot along 27th
Avenue will be behind a 6-foot-wide detached sidewalk with a 10-foot-wide
landscape strip located between back of curb and sidewalk, planted with
enhanced landscaping, per Stipulation No. 7. These requirements will provide
Staff Report: Z-74-22-8
February 10, 2023

buffering from the street and space for tree plantings. There is one entry point to
the site from Ellis Street, which will be adjacent to a retention area. The site plan
depicts mostly 100-foot-wide conventional subdivision lots. Additionally, each
home will incorporate a 22-foot setback for driveways, per Stipulation No. 2, to
accommodate the length of oversized vehicles parked in driveways.

6. Elevations
The applicant submitted hand-drawn building elevations, attached as an exhibit,
that were not consistent with the desired character for Laveen. As a result, staff
is recommending Stipulation No. 3 requiring the applicant to present the
conceptual building elevations, in addition to the conceptual landscape plan, wall
plan, and signage for monument and entryway, to the Laveen Village Planning
Committee and to have these plans administratively approved by the Planning
Hearing Officer. Per Stipulation 3.a., the elevations should provide four-sided
architecture with enhanced detailing and with a modern farmhouse design, which
is a desired character for Laveen.

PLANS, OVERLAYS, AND INITATIVES
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 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 housing types that will
address the supply shortage at a more rapid pace while using vacant land in a
more sustainable fashion.

8. 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 is recommending robust tree planting
standards, with larger caliper trees in the landscape strip between the sidewalk
and back of curb, per Stipulation No. 7. The developer will also be required by
the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance to shade sidewalks interior to the site with trees to
a minimum of 50 percent shade at maturity.
Staff Report: Z-74-22-8
February 10, 2023

9. Complete Streets Guidelines
In 2014, 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. In addition to the enhanced
landscaping standards and detached sidewalk (Stipulation No. 7), the
development will be connected by the existing trail to the west of the site that
connects to the multi-use trail along Baseline Road and to destinations in the
nearby vicinity.

10. 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 provision of recycling containers was not addressed
in the applicant’s submittal; however, recycling service is provided by the City of
Phoenix to single-family residential developments.

COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY
11. At the time this staff report was written, staff received one letter of opposition.
Concerns shared were regarding vehicular access from Ellis Road, increase in
traffic within the adjacent community, excess vehicle noise, pedestrian safety,
potential liability issues for injured residents of the community, and increased
maintenance from non-residents that do not pay HOA fees.

INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS
12. Aviation Department
The Aviation Department commented that the property owner shall record a
Notice to Prospective Purchasers of Proximity to Airport in order to disclose the
existence, and operational characteristics of City of Phoenix Sky Harbor
International Airport (PHX) to future owners or tenants of the property. This is
addressed in Stipulation No. 11.

13. Water Services Department
The City of Phoenix Water Services Department has noted the property has
existing water and sewer mains that can potentially serve the proposed
development, however, water capacity is a dynamic condition that can change
over time due to a variety of factors.

14. Street Transportation Department
The Street Transportation Department commented that the proposed site plan
does not meet block design as required by Phoenix City Code, so general
Staff Report: Z-74-22-8
February 10, 2023

conformance of site plan should not be considered. The Street Transportation
Department also requested that street improvements for the portion of the west
half of 27th Avenue that is not within Phoenix jurisdiction be reviewed and
approved by Maricopa County, that the developer construct a 6-foot-wide
detached sidewalk and minimum 10-foot-wide landscape strip located between
the back of curb and sidewalk on the west side of 27th Avenue, that the
developer dedicate minimum rights-of-way for the south half of Ellis Street and all
local public streets, and that the streets be constructed with all required elements
and to ADA requirements. These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 6 through 10.

OTHER
15. At the neighborhood meeting held by the applicant on November 21, 2022,
neighbors requested that purchasers of property within the development be
notified of the high noise level generated from the Corona Ranch and Rodeo
Grounds when events are held, since the subject site is within close proximity of
the rodeo grounds located on the southeast corner of 29th Avenue and Baseline
Road. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 12.

16. The site is located in a larger area identified as being archaeologically sensitive.
If further review by the City of Phoenix Archaeology Office determines the site
and immediate area to be archaeologically sensitive, and if no previous
archaeological projects have been conducted within this project area, it is
recommended that archaeological Phase I data testing of this area be conducted.
Phase II archaeological data recovery excavations may be necessary based
upon the results of the testing. A qualified archaeologist must make this
determination in consultation with the City of Phoenix Archaeologist. In the event
archaeological materials are encountered during construction, all ground
disturbing activities must cease within a 33-foot radius of the discovery and the
time to properly assess the materials. This is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 13
through 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 preliminary site plan
approval. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 16.

18. 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.
Staff Report: Z-74-22-8
February 10, 2023

Findings

Hello,

Laveen Village HOA and its proximity residents are strongly opposed to the proposed site
plan of this development.

The proposed plan is intended to utilize the existing half street improvement of Ellis Street as
the only means of ingress/egress to the development. In order to access this development it
requires its residents to enter through the Laveen Village subdivision from Baseline Road
meandering to access its entry. This is unacceptable.

This only point of ingress/egress to the proposed subdivision creates an unnecessary increase
of traffic to the residents of our community. This increased traffic can create excess vehicle
noise along with safety issues for children in the area.

The Laveen Village residents pay association fees for maintenance of our community tot-lots
and 5+ miles of walking trails. The proposed development would give its residents
unrestricted access to our property without having to pay our HOA fees. Additionally, it
creates a potential insurance liability due to potential injury of its residents on our property.

Laveen Village HOA currently shares points of ingress/egress with two other adjacent
developments. We share one point with the Meridian Crossing Community at Ellis Street and
one point with the Southern Vistas Community at 34th Lane. The difference with these
communities is they are private gated communities with their main entry points from an
arterial roadway, 27th Avenue and 35th Avenue respectively. The shared points of
ingress/egress are simply secondary as required for gated community development.

We propose your site plan be redesigned in one of two ways:
1. Non-Gated Community - encompass 27th Avenue as the point of ingress/egress and do not
connect to Ellis Road
2 Gated Community - encompass 27th Avenue as the main point of ingress/egress and utilize
Ellis Road as the secondary point.
Respectfully,

Davey Matranga, President
Laveen Village HOA

Village Planning Committee Meeting Summary
Z-74-22-8

Date of VPC Meeting February 13, 2023
Request From S-1
Request To R1-10
Proposed Use Single-family residential
Location Approximately 340 feet north of the northwest corner of
27th Avenue and Baseline Road
VPC Recommendation Approval, per staff recommendation, with modifications
to Stipulation Nos. 1 and 3.
VPC Vote 7-0

VPC DISCUSSION:

Twelve members of the public registered to speak on this item. Six of the members
donated their time.

STAFF PRESENTATION:

Enrique Bojórquez, staff, provided an overview of the rezoning proposal, describing
the location of the request, the existing and proposed zoning districts and land use
designation. Mr. Bojórquez listed several policy plans and described how these are
furthered by this proposal. Mr. Bojórquez discussed the proposal, including the site
plan, elevations, landscape plan, and monument sign entry. Mr. Bojórquez stated that
staff did receive one letter of opposition regarding this request. Mr. Bojórquez provided
staff findings, followed by the staff recommendation of approval, and discussed the
stipulations as presented in the staff report for case Z-74-22-8.

APPLICANT PRESENTATION:

Francisco Badilla, representing the applicant, introduced himself and the proposed
project. Mr. Badilla described the site location and the proposed 16-lot subdivision. Mr.
Badilla stated that future homes will be sold in the low $1 million and envisioned to
include flood irrigation, plus an HOA. Mr. Badilla discussed the conceptual building
elevations, addressed community concerns raised at the neighborhood meeting and
described the proposed street cross-section. Mr. Badilla requested a recommendation
of approval on the case.

200 West Washington Street, 3rd Floor • Phoenix, Arizona 85003-1611 • (602) 262-6882
QUESTIONS FROM COMMITTEE:

Carlos Ortega asked for clarification on the site plan, specifically on the lots to the east
of the site.

JoAnne Jensen asked for clarification regarding the proposed access and why this is
not along 27th Avenue for 15 of the lots proposed.

PUBLIC COMMENTS:

Erin Hegedus is pleased to hear that the lots will be flood irrigated and wants to see
other similar development in the area. Ms. Hegedus would like to see other adjacent
properties incorporated into this development.

Lidia Dickinson is a property owner in the subject site now and will be a future
homeowner on this development. Ms. Dickinson stated that this is the type of
community where she wants to live in.
David Matranga stated that the adjacent HOA is not happy that the only street access
to this project is along Ellis Street. Mr. Matranga stated that the adjacent HOA has
worked in the past with other builders to gate the street access along their development
to avoid funneling vehicular traffic through their subdivision streets. Mr. Matranga is fine
with the proposed project but feels that this development should have acquired more
land to gain access to other adjacent streets and avoid through access via the adjacent
subdivision.

Dan Penton has concerns with the proposed access along Ellis Street but
acknowledges that this condition exists already in other parts of the Laveen Village. Mr.
Penton discussed the proximity of the project to Corona Ranch and feels that exposed
canals and ditches help keep the character of Laveen. Mr. Penton would like to see a
row of trees planted along the perimeter of this development to buffer the site and
create a unique enclave here. Mr. Penton would like to see what the adjacent streets
look like and if this subdivision will be gated. Mr. Penton stated that this development
will generate some traffic through the adjacent subdivision.

APPLICANT RESPONSE:

Mr. Badilla stated that the adjacent properties to the south are commercially zoned and
access is not feasible because those properties are under separate ownership. Mr.
Badilla stated that a 50-foot-wide street will be constructed in this development and the
proposed flood irrigation will have underground lines. Mr. Badilla stated that this
subdivision is proposed to use the conventional development option and will have a six-
foot-tall wall along the perimeter. Mr. Badilla discussed the proposed landscaping on the
site.

FLOOR/PUBLIC DISCUSSION CLOSED: COMMITTEE DISCUSSION:

Chair Abegg asked for clarification on Stipulation No. 3 regarding the review of building
elevations. Mr. Bojórquez responded that Stipulation No. 3 required the review and
comment of elevations and other plans by the Laveen Village Planning Committee,
while the Planning Hearing Officer (PHO) would administratively review the building
elevations.
200 West Washington Street, 3rd Floor • Phoenix, Arizona 85003-1611 • (602) 262-6882
Chair Abegg asked if the Street Transportation Department had responded to the
inquiry regarding the street access from this development to 27th Avenue. Mr.
Bojórquez responded that the Street Transportation Department is not opposed to
having the primary access for this development be located along 27th Avenue but was
informed that this did not appear feasible due to an existing home in the southeast
portion of the site and a new home permit on Lot 16 as shown in the proposed site plan.
Chair Abegg does not particularly like the access for this development along Ellis Road
but believes that traffic impacts would be minimal on the adjacent subdivision.

Dean Chiarelli is concerned with increasing the traffic along the adjacent subdivision
but would recommend having the same HOA as the adjacent subdivision to the east
manage this new subdivision. Chair Abegg agrees with Mr. Chiarelli.

Carlos Ortega asked if Lot 16 would be part of the HOA on this new subdivision. Mr.
Badilla responded that this lot would also be part of the HOA.

Chair Abegg asked for a motion on the case.

Rebecca Perrera motioned to approve Z-74-22-8 per the staff recommendation with a
modification to Stipulation Nos. 1 and 3. Francisco Barraza seconded the motion.

Subject: RE: RE: Case Z-74-22-8; the 9.9 acre site approximately 340 feet of the NWC of 27th Ave
Date: Wednesday, February 15, 2023 11:10:24 AM

Hello,

On February 9, I submitted an email expressing the concerns of Laveen Village HOA and its
proximity residents about the proposed development. I also attended and spoke at the Laveen
Village Planning Committee held Monday, February 13, 2023. We appreciate that our
concerns were part of the discussion.

We are supportive of various new developments in the community; however, we are fully
opposed to this development for one reason, which is its primary access at Ellis Street. We
maintain our points noted in the prior email and spoken at the meeting. This primary access
point creates other issues as well and could be self-destructive to the goals stated by the
applicant/developer at the recent meeting.

The first and main issue is the main access at Ellis Street. The applicant/developer stated at the
meeting there is no other possible access either to 27th Avenue or Baseline Road. The problem
is self-inflicted by the site plan. Lot 16 on the proposed site plan is completely independent
from the unity of Lots 1-15. As noted in the meeting, Lot 16 has a current open permit (Permit
# CSL 22034663) for a single family residence. This lot is the sole reason that prevents the
development from having access to 27th Avenue and it should be eliminated from the plan to
allow the development to have main access from 27th Avenue.

The applicant/developer stated the homes would be of high quality materials and anticipated a
market value point near $1,000,000. The problem here is to achieve this value level, the
subdivision needs to have identity to attract that buyer market. This is the self-destructive
portion.

As planned, a buyer would have to navigate 6 turns from Baseline Rd at 29th Drive or 7 turns
from Baseline Road at 31st Avenue through the Laveen Village community to get to the entry
at Ellis Street. There would be no visible entry monument from Baseline Road indicating the
community is even there. Laveen Village HOA governing documents do not allow for signage
on the common areas and the HOA are not likely to grant any variance for this subdivision.
There are no apparent amenities offered other than common areas. In total, these are not
typically features expected in the market for a buyer at this price level.

We strongly recommend that Lot 16 is removed to allow main access from 27th Avenue. This
provides the ability to have identity with monument signage, a tree lined entry and even the
ability to be privately gated. As a proposed gated development, we would welcome Ellis Street
as the secondary emergency access.

Again, this is a simple solution to simply re-design a proposed site plan for a property that
already has frontage access to 27th Ave.

Respectfully submitted,

Davey Matranga, President
Laveen Village HOA

Subject: Case # Z-74-22-8 New development on NW corner of 27th Ave and Baseline
Date: Monday, March 13, 2023 3:56:07 PM

Dear Council,

I am writing to express my strong opposition to Z-74-22-8, the proposed rezoning at the NW
corner of 27th and Baseline in Phoenix. As a longtime resident of the neighborhood and nearly
all, if not all residents, in the Laveen Village neighborhood are completely opposed to the new
development that will cause traffic and safety issues, create even more problems with schools
that are already over-capacity, and potentially lower the property values of the existing
community. On my street, there are many children at play and walk to school in the
mornings/afternoons. Without additional access for an entrance/exit to S 27th Ave or directly to
W Baseline, the increased traffic and noise into our neighborhood will cause needless danger to
their safety. In addition to the increased traffic, I am concerned that all of the extra traffic coming
down our quiet street will decrease our home and property values and cause unnecessary
damage to our road.

In the time we have resided on this street, we have not had any issue with traffic. It was a major
factor in why we bought our home where we did, off of a main street and in a cul-de-sac like
street, so that we could feel comfortable about letting our children play and ride their bicycles out
front in a safe and quiet environment. If the proposed neighborhood is built with the current
rezoning, then the entire community will lose that feeling of safety. Also, we pay HOA fees for the
use of parks and walking trails within the community. What prevents the individuals from the
proposed development from using our amenities.

I urge you to disapprove the proposed rezoning, and from recent meetings and
discussions with my neighbors, I know my opinions are shared by many who may have not
managed to attend meetings or write letters and emails.

Please contact me directly if you have any questions

Subject: Case # Z-74-22-8 New development on NW corner of 27th ave and Baseline

To whom it may concern,

As a resident of the neighborhood, I am strongly opposed about the new development that is proposed
1000 feet from my home. My street is home to many children, I feel that the increased volume of traffic
will pose an unnecessary danger to their safety. In addition to the increased traffic, I am concerned that
the noise and increased traffic will turn our quiet street into a main street thusly decreasing our home and
property values.

I have lived in my neighborhood for over 13 years, in that time we have had no issues with traffic and
thusly why we bought our home off of a main street to raise our children in a safe and quiet environment.
If the proposed neighborhood is built with the current rezoning, then we, as a community will lose
everything that we have worked for, for our families and children.

As someone who cares deeply about the well-being of our homes and community, I urge you to reject this
proposed rezoning as a current layout without additional excess to traffic regulated to S 27th Ave or
directly to W Baseline Rd.

The negative impacts of this development on our neighborhood will not only devastate our community but
will also alter the way our children will be able to grow and play, as well as risk their safety and well-
being. This proposed development would be a grave mistake if allowed to move forward. The safety of
our community and well-being of the residents must be a priority, The negative impact our community and
residents far outweigh any potential benefits. Every aspect of what this development will do MUST
be considered and analyzed to the fullest.

Please contact me directly if you have any questions

SUBJECT : R1-10 zoning change adjacent to our neighborhood, Z-74-22-8

MESSAGE : Dear Councilwoman Washington,

We're thrilled that you were elected to our district 8 city council. We know you'll do great
things for our city.

I'm writing today because of a rezoning issue adjacent to our neighborhood, Laveen Village. It
is rezoning application
Z-74-22-8. The owner of the property has almost 10 acres that he wants to build homes on. He
also wants to use W. Ellis
Street as the only way in and out for the new home owners. W. Ellis Street accesses to our
neighborhood. He does not presently use this street as his homes are located on S. 27th Ave.
and his property has no road to Ellis Street.
He is building a new home on 27th Ave. where the entrance and exit to the new subdivision
would be. The original plan he submitted showed 27th Ave. as the main entrance and exit for
the new subdivision.
Our neighborhood's traffic would definitely become heavier as W. Ellis Street would be the
only entrance and exit. Very close to Ellis Street we have a neighborhood park with a large
open grass field, playground equipment for the children, picnic table with ramada cover, and
charcoal grill. There's also a walking trail that goes from Baseline Rd. to Ellis St. to the park
and beyond. We pay HOA fees each month which pays for the upkeep of that park, play
equipment, the walking trail, trees, plants, gravel, etc.
The new subdivision has no plans for a park with play equipment or a dog park. The residents
of that subdivision would be using ours.

There needs to be another roadway that serves as that subdivision's main entrance and exit out
to 27th Ave. or Baseline Rd. There needs to be a fence with a gate at Ellis Street. There needs
to be a parcel set aside for a park with play equipment and dog needs in the new subdivision.
We understand there is a housing shortage in our valley. The owner of this property must work
with his neighboring community so that all are happy. I'm urging you to consider this rezoning
issue with concern.
I believe this rezoning application will be continued to the June 14, 2023 City Council Formal
Meeting. Please feel free to email me or phone me 602 323 1747. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Mary Carroll
