Grant (Ordinance S-52768) - Citywide
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to apply for, and if awarded,
enter into an agreement for the disbursement of funding from the Arizona Department
of Forestry and Fire Management Invasive Plant Grant to target and treat areas
infested with invasive plants in the Parks and Recreation Department. Further request
to authorize the City Treasurer to accept, and the City Controller to disburse, all funds
related to this item. The total grant funds received will not exceed $200,000. Projects
require matching funds between 10 and 30 percent.
Summary
The City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department is seeking funding to implement
targeted treatment and long-term management of non-native invasive plant species
that threaten the ecological integrity of our desert parks and preserves. Invasive plants
disrupt watershed function by increasing water consumption, accelerating erosion, and
reducing groundwater recharge in a region already facing significant water scarcity.
The most challenging invasive plants in our preserve currently are Stinknet
(Oncosiphon pilulifer), Buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris), Fountaingrass (Cenchrus
setaceus) and Cheeseweed (Malva parviflora), to name a few.
Invasive plants degrade wildlife habitat by displacing the native vegetation
communities that support desert pollinators, migratory birds, and other sensitive
species. Their aggressive growth patterns allow them to compete with native plants for
light, nutrients, and water, leading to a loss of biodiversity and diminished ecological
resilience. Without intervention, these changes will continue to compromise the health
of our natural areas, reduce recreational and educational value for residents, and
increase long-term management costs.
Grant funding will enable the City to expand early detection and rapid response efforts,
implement treatment strategies, and restore native plant communities across priority
sites. This investment will protect critical habitat and preserve the ecological character
of Phoenix’s parks and preserves for future generations. Multiple locations within the
Natural Resources Division have identified specific priority areas of concern:
Rio Salado Habitat Restoration Area
· Central Avenue Gateway Trailhead.
· 7th Avenue Trailhead.
Papago Park
· West Park.
Phoenix Mountains Preserve
· North Mountain Visitor Center.
· Piestewa Peak.
· Dreamy Draw.
Phoenix Sonoran Preserve
· Apache Wash Trailhead.
· Desert Hills Trailhead.
Financial Impact
A project-based 10 to 30 percent funding match is required. The match will be provided
via in-kind volunteer hours. There is no impact to the General Fund.

Agreement Terms for the Resource Innovation Campus Development (Ordinance
S-52698) - District 7
Request to authorize the City Manager, or the City Manager's designee, to amend
Ordinance S-51535 to incorporate finalized agreement terms for the Development
Agreement, Ground Lease, and Feedstock Agreement related to the development of
the Resource Innovation Campus (RIC) resulting from participation in the Reinventing
Cities Program.
Summary
On December 18, 2024, City Council authorized the City Manager, or the City
Manager's designee, to enter into a development agreement and execute any related
agreements, instruments, or documents necessary with Krause Interior Architecture,
Inc., and its affiliates or subsidiaries, for development of the RIC resulting from
participation in the Reinventing Cities Program. Council further authorized the City
Treasurer to accept and the City Controller to disburse funds associated with the
ordinance.
Ordinance S-51535 initially established a two-phased approach with a five-year
contract term beginning on or about December 18, 2024, with no options to extend.
Phase II contemplated amending the term up to a maximum of 99 years.
Since the original City Council approval, environmental assessments, land appraisals,
fair market lease rate assessments, and some parcel preparation have been
completed. The Developer has provided documentation demonstrating financial
capacity to complete construction. As a result, the previously contemplated pilot
demonstrations and two-phased structure are no longer necessary.
This request amends the Ordinance to incorporate finalized agreement terms,
eliminate the two-phase structure, and establish the following key provisions:
Ground Lease
· Approximately 22 acres located on the eastern portion of the southeast corner of
35th Avenue and Elwood Street will be leased for a term of 99 years.
· “Net Rent” shall equal one-fourth (1/4) of the Appraised Rental Value (determined
annually) for the applicable phase(s), less any quarterly Diversion Deduction offset
credit.
· “Diversion Deduction” shall mean, on a quarterly basis, amounts owed by the City
to the Tenant pursuant to the Feedstock Agreement, as reflected on the Tenant’s
invoice, up to the Appraised Rental Value for that quarter. Offset credits will only be
earned based on the applicable quarterly Diversion Deduction. The credit is an
offset of funds that would have been otherwise directed toward landfill operations
costs by the Public Works Department and is not an additional payment.
Tenant shall have the right to use the Premises for circular economy solution
developments, including but not limited to:
· Municipal solid waste and organic waste;
· Difficult-to-recycle plastics (#3, #4, #6, #7);
· Lithium-ion batteries and electronic waste;
· Textile waste;
· Construction and demolition waste; and
· Industrial, research, educational, office, and retail uses associated with circular
economy activities.
The City may consider additional uses aligned with the 2050 Sustainability Goals,
Phoenix Climate Action Plan, Rio Reimagined Initiative, and other environmental
sustainability initiatives upon written request by Tenant.
The Campus Headquarters Building shall obtain one Petal Certification under the
Living Building Challenge. All other permanent buildings shall, as applicable, obtain
LEED v4.1 Building Design and Construction Certification and demonstrate
compliance with energy efficiency, low-carbon energy, life cycle assessment, and
sustainable materials management principles consistent with the C40 Reinventing
Cities Competition requirements.
At least 30 days prior to the effective date of any Sublease, Tenant shall provide
written notice to the Community and Economic Development Director and the Public
Works Director for review and approval.
Development Agreement
The Development Agreement confirms RIC PHX, LLC as the Developer and confirms
that the Developer does not intend to seek reimbursement from the City for Public
Infrastructure Improvements.
Feedstock Agreement
· Term: 50 years following the Commercial Operation Date, with four 10-year renewal
options and one additional nine-year renewal option, unless earlier terminated or
extended as provided.
· RIC PHX, LLC will serve as Operator.
“Feedstock” means waste collected and delivered by the City to the 27th Avenue
Transfer Station from residential customers and not otherwise obligated under existing
agreements, including the WeCare Denali Agreement or the Circular Services
Agreement.
Key provisions include:
· No obligation for Operator to accept, nor for City to supply, Feedstock between the
Effective Date and the Commercial Operation Date.
· After the Commercial Operation Date, City shall maintain availability of Feedstock
not otherwise under contract, and Operator shall accept such Feedstock and
prioritize City-provided material.
· If Operator elects to receive additional Feedstock from other City locations, the
parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine actual transfer costs. Such costs
will reflect the City’s current contracted hauling rate and will be deducted from Post
Collection Operational Costs.
· “Post Collection Operational Costs” means post-collection operational costs
associated with transporting refuse from the 27th Avenue Transfer Station to SR85
landfill, as defined in the Feedstock Agreement. This is affiliated with the "Diversion
Deduction" rent credit and is not an additional payment.
Contract Term
This amendment establishes a 99-year Ground Lease term and a 50-year Feedstock
Agreement term, with renewal options as described above.
Financial Impact
The primary financial impact to the City consists of providing the feedstock, which
consists of municipal solid waste, difficult-to-recycle plastics, and other materials
otherwise destined for landfill. This allows for less solid waste being transported to the
landfill and placed in the landfill, which will save operational costs and prolong the life
of the landfill. Both of these help lower solid waste operational costs over the long term
agreement period.
Concurrence/Previous Council Action
The Economic Development and Housing Subcommittee recommended approval on
November 25, 2024, by a vote of 4-0.
related agreements on December 18, 2024 (Ordinance S-51535).

Construction, Inc. (City Contract 162620) for the Use of City-Owned Property
Located at 701 W. Washington Street (Ordinance S-52756) - District 7
Authorization to amend the Construction Staging License (License) with Kitchell
Construction, Inc. (Licensee) to extend the license term for use of City-owned property
located at 701 W. Washington Street to support the Phoenix Police Department (PD)
Crime Laboratory (Crime Lab) Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
Upgrade Project.
Summary
In 2024, City Council authorized the City to enter into a Construction Staging License
with Kitchell Construction, Inc. for approximately 0.8 acres of City-owned property
located at 701 W. Washington Street. The license supports contractor parking and
laydown needs for the Phoenix Police Department Crime Lab HVAC Upgrade Project
(Project #PW26480024). The license included an initial one-year term with two three-
month extensions. Both extensions have now been exercised, extending the current
License through May 31, 2026.
Public Works has updated the project schedule, and the HVAC improvements are now
anticipated to be completed on December 3, 2026. The Licensee has submitted a
written request to extend the staging license to match the revised project timeline. The
amendment ensures the Crime Lab HVAC project can be completed without
disruption. The extension will not impact CEDD’s ongoing efforts to prepare the
surrounding property for a future redevelopment Request for Proposals (RFP). To
support uninterrupted completion of the HVAC project, the City and Licensee have
agreed to modify the License as follows:
· Term: Extend the License term from June 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026.
Allow for one additional three-month extension.
· No modification to the compensation for the license agreement.
· Additional Terms and Conditions: Continue Licensee’s maintenance responsibility
for approximately 1.12 acres of landscaping on City-owned property during the
extended term. Maintain all existing insurance, fencing, and permitting
requirements.
Financial Impact
There is no impact on the General Fund as a result of this action.

and Purchase Agreement with High Street Fillmore, LLC. and High Street
Fillmore Phase 2, LLC, to Modify the Performance Timeline (Ordinance S-52760)
- District 7
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to amend City Contract
147086, the West Fillmore Redevelopment and Purchase Agreement (Agreement) with
High Street Fillmore, LLC and High Street Fillmore Phase 2, LLC (Developer), to
modify the performance timeline for Phase 2 of the High Street Fillmore project.
Summary
On March 20, 2018, the City entered into the Agreement with High Street Fillmore, LLC
and High Street Fillmore Phase 2, LLC for the sale of multiple City-owned parcels in
downtown Phoenix for a mixed-use project to be developed in multiple phases. Phase
1 was completed in 2022 with 330 residential units, approximately 10,000 square feet
(SF) of retail, and completion of the Taylor Street Paseo (4th Avenue to 6th Avenue).
Three future phases, known as Lot 4, Lot 5 East, and Lot 5 West, are currently in the
design and permitting phases. Phase 2, the subject of this request, will include 330
residential units and an additional approximately 10,000 SF of additional retail. The
Agreement currently requires the Developer to commence construction of Phase 2 by
February 7, 2026. Due to the current state of the financial markets, the Developer has
asked for an additional two years to commence construction on Phase 2. If approved,
this will extend the Phase 2 construction commencement date deadline to February 7,
2028.
The financial return to the City will not be altered by this request. The City will continue
to receive the Developer's annual carry payment of 2.5 percent of the Phase 2
purchase price for the length of the contract term. Upon the sale of the Phase 2 Site,
2.8 acres will return to private ownership, which will generate net new property tax
revenues. The total project is estimated to generate approximately $1.3 million in
construction taxes. All other terms of the Agreement will remain unchanged.
Contract Term
Amendment is for a two-year extension retroactively beginning on February 7, 2026,
and ending on February 7, 2028.
Financial Impact
The financial terms will remain unchanged with this proposed amendment.

Training from Northeast Detector Dog Services (Ordinance S-52764) - Citywide
Request to authorize the City Manager or his designee to retroactively apply for and
accept, if awarded, a donation for an accelerant-detecting K9 and corresponding K9
handler training from the Northeast Detector Dog Services with funding from
International Fire Dogs. Additionally, request authorization for the City Treasurer to
accept and for the City Controller to disburse this donation. If not approved, the
donation will be declined.
Summary
The Phoenix Fire Department, Fire Investigations Unit will mark the retirement of its
accelerant-detecting K9, Sonny, and handler, Fire Investigator Robby Simpson, this
June. This team has played a vital role in advancing arson investigations, assisting
regional automatic aid partners, and promoting community engagement through public
education and outreach. Their efforts have significantly enhanced investigative
capabilities and fostered positive relationships between the department and the
community.
To sustain this specialized capability, the department has applied for the Northeast
Detector Dog Services K9 program, which will supply a fully trained accelerant-
detection K9 and handler training at no cost to the City. The program's total value is
approximately $25,000, making it a cost-neutral opportunity for Phoenix, since both the
handler position and program support are already accounted for in the Fire
Department's existing Fire Investigations budget.
The K9 will be awarded on July 20, 2026, with handler training continuing through
August 12, 2026. Approving this replacement will ensure continuity of essential
investigative services, support regional efforts, and maintain a highly effective
community engagement resource.
Financial Impact
There will be no financial impact on the City. Funds for the position and ongoing K9
maintenance and support are included in the Fire Department's operating budget.

movement areas. The agreement is critical to enhancing system reliability, improving
safety, and maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements.
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.'s services include updating electrical systems that
are approximately 20 years old or more, including emergency power systems, power
distribution, branch circuitry, and communication cabling. The scope of work includes
upgrading regular communications from legacy serial port cabling to Cat 6, redesigning
portions of the existing circuitry to meet current National Electrical Code requirements,
improving system layout to streamline maintenance and emergency operations, and
potential building modifications to accommodate for new or added improvements.

Request City Council approval to install ceremonial signage to honor Martin L. Shultz.
The ceremonial sign will be installed at the intersection of 4th and McKinley streets (
Attachment A).
Summary
Mr. Shultz devoted his life to shaping the future of Phoenix through decades of
professional service and personal commitment. In his long career with Pinnacle West
Capital Corporation, the parent company of Arizona Public Service (APS), he rose to
Vice President of Government Affairs, helped lay the foundation for the success that
APS and the Palo Verde Nuclear Power Plant continue to bring to the utility industry
today.
In the 1970s, Mr. Shultz served as Chief of Staff to three consecutive Phoenix Mayors,
John Driggs, Tim Barrow, and Margaret T. Hance, becoming a trusted voice and
steady guide through pivotal moments in the city’s growth. His influence is still felt
today, as he remains a respected presence at the Office of the Mayor and City Council,
the Arizona State Legislature, and among Arizona’s elected leaders.
As a founding member of Phoenix Community Alliance and Chair of its Board in 2008,
Mr. Shultz helped drive the organization’s earliest efforts to create a vibrant and
thriving downtown. The Arizona Center stands as one of his most significant
achievements. His leadership was instrumental in securing a long-term lease
agreement with APS for the project’s first building-an action that gave the developer
the financial strength needed to bring the Arizona Center to life. Nearly 40 years later,
the project continues to flourish, a testament to his foresight and tenacity.
Mr. Shultz’s humanitarian contributions have touched countless lives in nearly every
corner of Phoenix. He was a driving force behind the establishment of the original
Human Services Campus, bringing together more than two dozen partner
organizations united by a shared mission to end homelessness. His commitment to
collaborative, compassionate solutions continues to shape services for the city’s most
vulnerable residents.
Throughout his career, he played a leading role in the development of Arizona’s
transportation systems from freeways to light rail, helping to create the modern
infrastructure that supports the region’s growth.
His service extended deeply into nonprofit and community leadership. As a member of
the Legacy Circle, he supported the Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center
for many years. He also served as a member and later Chairman of the Banner Health
Board of Directors, and contributed his leadership to the Arizona State University
Board of Trustees, the Visit Phoenix Board of Directors, and numerous other
organizations.
In 2009, Mr. Shultz was named Valley Leadership’s Man of the Year. His influence on
Valley Leadership itself is profound; he played an instrumental role in establishing a
program that has grown into one of Arizona’s most prestigious leadership institutions,
shaping generations of public and private sector leaders. His dedication as an
educator and his involvement with the Phoenix Suns further demonstrate the breadth
of his service.
The ceremonial signs at 4th and McKinley streets, standing in the shadow of the APS
tower, are fittingly placed to honor a remarkable individual who championed downtown
Phoenix when it mattered most. The ceremonial signs serve as a tribute to a leader
whose vision, integrity and unwavering commitment helped shape the Phoenix we
know today.
Financial Impact
The fabrication, installation and maintenance cost of the ceremonial sign will be funded
by the Mayor's Office.

ST87600136 (Ordinance S-52740) - Districts 4 & 6
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to accept AJP Electric, Inc., as
the lowest-priced, responsive and responsible bidder and to enter into an agreement
with AJP Electric, Inc., for Design-Bid-Build Services for the 20th Street: Grand Canal
to Highland Avenue project. Further request to authorize the City Controller to disburse
all funds related to this item. The fee for services will not exceed $7,420,889.
Summary
The purpose of this project is to construct bicycle improvements along 20th Street from
Grand Canal to Highland Avenue.
AJP Electric’s services include, but are not limited to: removing and replacing existing
traffic signal poles, mast arms, signal heads, buffered bicycle lanes, narrowing travel
lanes, streetlight upgrades, and intersection improvements at Highland Avenue,
Campbell Avenue, Indian School Road, and Osborn Road.
The selection was made using an Invitation for Bids process set forth in section 34-201
of the Arizona Revised Statutes. One bid was received on February 10, 2026, and was
sent to the Equal Opportunity Department for review to determine subcontractor
eligibility and contractor responsiveness to Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE)
program requirements. A DBE goal has not been established for this project.
The Opinion of Probable Cost and the one lowest responsive, responsible bidder is
listed below:
Opinion of Probable Cost: $8,093,248
AJP Electric, Inc.: $6,746,263
The bid award amount is within the total budget for this project.
The reason for the variance of the Opinion of Probable Cost to the lowest, responsive,
responsible bid is the Engineer's Estimate included a conservative allowance reflecting
federal-aid documentation and coordination requirements and included a higher risk
assumption for coordination and removal complexity. The contractor's bid reflects
current competitive market pricing, favorable production, and market conditions.
Due to volatile material costs and increased labor prices in the construction industry, a
10 percent contingency is being requested to allow for project uncertainties. The initial
contract will be executed at the bid amount of $6,746,263. Use of 10 percent
contingency above the amount will not be allowed without prior written approval of the
Street Transportation Department Director and the City Engineer.
Contract Term
The term of the agreement is 540 calendar days from issuance of the Notice to
Proceed. Work scope identified and incorporated into the agreement prior to the end of
the term may be agreed to by the parties, and work may extend past the termination of
the agreement. No additional changes may be executed after the end of the term.
Financial Impact
The agreement value for AJP Electric, Inc., will not exceed $7,420,889, including all
subcontractor and reimbursable costs.
This project will utilize federal funds and is subject to the requirements of 49 Code of
Federal Regulations Part 26 and the U.S. Department of Transportation. Funding is
available in the Street Transportation Department's Capital Improvement Program
budget. The Budget and Research Department will separately review and approve
funding availability prior to execution of any amendments. Payments may be made up
to agreement limits for all rendered agreement services, which may extend past the
agreement termination.

Desert View Village Planning
Committee Meeting Date: February 3, 2026
Staff Recommendation: Approval
FINDINGS:
1) The proposal will facilitate a mix of residential and commercial uses, contributing
to the land use mix in the area.
2) Existing zoning to the south and east of the companion rezoning case boundary
is consistent with the proposed Residential 15+ dwelling units per acre
designation.
3) The subject site is appropriate for commercial uses, as the site is at an
intersection of two arterial streets and nearby a freeway interchange.
Staff Analysis
GPA-DSTV-1-25-2
Page 2
BACKGROUND
The subject site is a 219.22-acre site located at the southeast corner of 64th Street and
Mayo Boulevard. The current General Plan Land Use Map designations on the site are
216.47 acres of Residential 5 to 10 dwelling units per acre and 2.75 acres of
Commercial / Commerce/Business Park. The applicant proposes to change the
designation for the area of the companion rezoning case Z-87-E-03-2, which is 8.20
acres in size, to Commercial and the remaining area, which is 211.02 acres in size, to
Residential 15+ dwelling units per acre to be consistent with the existing zoning.
Companion Case Z-87-E-03-2 (Plaza Companies Hospitality PUD) is a request to
rezone 8.20 acres from S-1 (Approved CP/BP PCD) (Ranch or Farm Residence,
Approved Commerce Park District, Business Park Option, Planned Community District)
to PUD PCD (Planned Unit Development, Planned Community District) for a Major
Amendment to the Paradise Ridge PCD to allow a hotel.
The proposed commercial use on the PUD site is not consistent with the General Plan
Land Use Map designation of Residential 5 to 10 dwelling units per acre. The zoning to
the south and east of the proposed PUD rezoning area is R-3A, which is inconsistent
with the General Plan Land Use Map designation of Residential 5 to 10 dwelling units
per acre. Therefore, a minor General Plan Amendment is required to amend the
General Plan Land Use Map designation for the PUD site and for the sites to the south
and east of the PUD site as the combined area is larger than 10 acres.
SURROUNDING LAND USES
NORTH / WEST
North and west of the subject site, at the northeast corner of 64th Street and Mayo
Boulevard, is a proposed multifamily residential development designated as
Commercial / Residential 15+ dwelling units per acre.
EAST
East of the site is a commercial center, an office complex, a fitness center, and
multifamily residential designated Commercial / Commerce/Business Park.
SOUTH
South of the site is the Reach 11 recreation area designated Parks/Open Space –
Publicly Owned.
WEST
West of the site, across 64th Street, is vacant land designated Commercial /
Commerce/Business Park.

RELATIONSHIP TO GENERAL PLAN CORE VALUES AND PRINCIPLES
CONNECT PEOPLE & PLACES
• OPPORTUNITY SITES; LAND USE PRINCIPLE: Support reasonable levels
of increased intensity, respectful of local conditions and surrounding
neighborhoods.
The proposal for additional residential and commercial uses is appropriate for
this location on two arterial streets and near a freeway, and the proposed PUD
proposes development standards to prevent negative impacts to the adjacent
residential properties.
CELEBRATE OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITIES & NEIGHBORHOODS
• DIVERSE NEIGHBORHOODS; LAND USE PRINCIPLE: Communities should
consist of a mix of land uses to provide housing, shopping, dining and
recreational options for residents.
The proposal will contribute to the mix of uses in the area by supporting existing
and future higher-density residential and by providing commercial uses.
BUILD THE SUSTAINABLE DESERT CITY
• TREES AND SHADE: DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Integrate trees and shade into
the design of new development and redevelopment projects throughout
Phoenix.
The proposal, as regulated by the PUD Narrative of companion rezoning case Z-
87-E-03-2, includes development standards that require enhanced landscaping
and shade, including detached sidewalks and minimum shade requirements for
sidewalks, bicycle infrastructure, pedestrian pathways, and parking areas. This
will help to provide shade for pedestrians and bicyclists in and around the
community and to mitigate the urban heat island effect by covering hard
surfaces, thus cooling the micro-climate around the vicinity.
COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY
At the time this staff report was written, staff has received three letters of opposition.
Concerns include traffic, impact to character of adjacent neighborhoods, building height,
signage incompatibility with desert character, and safety.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of GPA-DSTV-1-25-2. The proposed General Plan Land
Use Map designations allow for commercial and higher-density residential development
at an appropriate location. The proposed Residential 15+ dwelling units per acre
designation is consistent with existing zoning to the north, south and east of the
Staff Analysis

proposed PUD site. The companion rezoning case, Z-87-E-03-2, as stipulated, will
enhance connectivity in the surrounding area and add standards to buffer the proposed
use from the nearby residences.

We oppose the entire rezoning of this area from residential to commercial and
apartments. The entire corridors along 68th St, Scottsdale Rd to/from Mayo/101, and
now 56th St are being built up into commercial and apartments buildings which will
increase the traffic on streets that are not set up to handle what will be double or triple
number of vehicles all trying to get on the 101 from Scottsdale, 64th, and 56th St. in
addition to bringing the Cardinals training facility within 1 mile radius, the congestion is
already bad, and this will make it worse.

Hi Noel,
I did receive the notice of the next two meetings, however I will be out of town for the
Dec. 8 Meeting.
After reviewing the latest documents, would you please add the following comments
to your neighborhood summary comments page:
1) As a resident of Paradise Ridge which will be next door to the proposed hotel, I do
not believe this is the right venue for the area with million dollar plus homes. A nice
restaurant would be a much better option for the site especially due to the additional
residences and town homes that are being built adjacent to the site. A hotel is too
transient for a family community. There already is a hotel for Mayo visitors, which is
set back and closer to the hospital, so it is likely this hotel will be filled with event
guests who have no concern of keeping a neighborhood quiet, clean and safe.
2) If the plan for the hotel does get approved, my thoughts for adjustments follow:
-the height is too high for being so close to residents homes. The lighting will be too
high for the neighborhood at night. I suggest reducing the floors to four. I just stayed
at a Hyatt Place in Flagstaff and it had four floors which made it look to fit the area
better. Is anyone considering the water usage for a 6 story hotel?
-The logo on the front top of the building doesn't fit with our desert landscape and
should be more discreet like the ASU building, showing only the ASU letters, not the
full name, and in a silver/white look which is located on the next lot.
-The company colors of the bright orange and green are again to "loud" and vivid for
the desert space of Phoenix. Just as McDonalds does not have yellow arches in
Sedona, these colors should be muted to keep the integrity of the desert landscape.
-The renderings sent did not show any landscaping but I would guess that is in the
plan, and the more the better.
-The hotel should be required to have a set maximum number of adults per room that
matches the beds. To have this become a constant churn of an overcrowded room for
our local events is inappropriate for the residents, and our police department.
-The hotel should have 24/7 security on site for the hotel and parking lot to get ahead
of issues.
-I would expect the pool to be fenced and locked for guests only.
Thank you for the opportunity to express my concerns.

Karen,
Thank you for reaching out and we will add your comments to the summary report to the City for that
first meeting as well as pass them along to the developer team.
On process, the next step is our informational presentation to the Desert View Village Planning
Committee, which is scheduled for December 2nd. After that, we will have a second neighborhood
meeting, date still not firmed up yet. If you received a letter last time, you will get another. If not, please
send me your address and I will make sure you are on our mailing list.
In the interim, please let me know of any other questions. Hope to see you at one of the upcoming
meetings.

Hi Noel,
We met at the meeting with the Paradise Ridge residents. I didn't have time to fill out the comment card but I
would like to share in writing the points of concern that I mentioned to you for your thoughts and discussions.
With the proposal for the hotel to be so close to Paradise Ridge homes, I do not think that is the best venue for
the area. A high end restaurant on the Mayo facing property would be better suited for the residents in the area to
use. We already have an influx of drunken, rowdy people coming in to town for all of the events in the area ex.
golf outing, etc. and a lower price hotel will attract more.
In addition, the drawings showed a building not considerate of the southwest landscape in architecture or colors
which is important. The height of the building is too high as well. If it was designed as a higher end boutique
hotel, I think it might be received better, or another use for the property.
Also, I haven't received any communication about meetings for residents to express their thoughts in person.
Has that been sent out or will it be coming soon?
Thank you, Karen Batenic

Hi Adrian,
I have attended a meeting that Snell & Wilmer conducted for getting the land rezoned near my
home. I realize that with Mayo Hospital expanding they want to provide short term stays for
patients and families, but this is not the place to do it. That corner backs up to my
neighborhood Paradise Ridge with single family homes. A 7 story hotel with a parking
surrounding it just isn't right. Wouldn't a 2-3 story building be more in line with what
surrounds us? Or have the builder of the the townhomes get to build out all the way to Mayo
Blvd?
Please let me know how I can be updated more about the dates and process of this rezoning?
Thank you,
Michelle Seabrook

Questions from Committee:
Committee Member Richard Carlucci asked what the Mayo Flyover Study Area
Intergovernmental Agreement is and what the $5 million contribution will go towards,
per Stipulation 6. Mr. Wood responded that there was a point in time when Mayo
Boulevard was going to span over the Loop 101 freeway west of Tatum Boulevard,
within Superblock 8, to connect to the south side of the freeway. Mr. Wood stated that
there was a development agreement between the Arizona State Land Department and
the City of Phoenix regarding that flyover. Mr. Wood stated that they think the money
will be used for roadway infrastructure, but they are not certain. Committee Member
Carlucci asked for clarification that this funding contribution is in addition to the required
right-of-way improvements adjacent to the site. Mr. Wood responded affirmatively.
Committee Member George Birchby asked if there have been studies for the need for
hotels in the area. Mr. Wood responded that he does not know but noted that Plaza
Companies builds many hotels and they do their research on market demand. Mr.
Wood added that the proposed hotel would likely not draw away other hotels, noting
that the need for them is exponential.
Committee Member David Kollar asked if there have been any traffic studies done to
analyze the traffic patterns and traffic congestion, noting that there are multifamily
residential developments proposed to the north and south. Mr. Wood responded that
the Traffic Impact Analysis studied traffic in all directions generated from the site and
from surrounding developments. Mr. Wood stated that according to the traffic engineer,
the roadway network at full buildout will be able to handle the generated traffic.
Committee Member Kollar asked if the offsite improvements include 64th Street
expansion to Bell Road. Mr. Wood responded that the City is currently working on
obtaining federal funds in order to expand 64th Street to Bell Road, but this
development is not part of that.
Committee Member Gary Kirkilas thanked the applicant for incorporating green
stormwater infrastructure standards, water conservation standards, and using the wash
as a connection to the Reach 11 Recreation Area.
Chair Steven Bowser echoed appreciation for incorporation of water conservation
standards.

General Plan Conformity
CONNECT PEOPLE & PLACES CORE VALUE; OPPORTUNITY SITES; LAND USE
PRINCIPLE: Support reasonable levels of increased intensity, respectful of local
conditions and surrounding neighborhoods.
The proposal for a six-story hotel is appropriate for this location on two arterial streets,
near a freeway, and adjacent to other sites (across 64th Street and Mayo Boulevard)
with approved zoning entitlements that allow increased height. The proposed PUD
proposes development standards to prevent negative impacts on the adjacent
residential properties.
CELEBRATE OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITIES & NEIGHBORHOODS CORE VALUE;
DIVERSE NEIGHBORHOODS; LAND USE PRINCIPLE: Communities should
consist of a mix of land uses to provide housing, shopping, dining and
recreational options for residents.
The proposal will contribute to the mix of uses in the area by providing a new hotel in
proximity to the Mayo Clinic campus and other planned commercial and residential
uses.
BUILD THE SUSTAINABLE DESERT CITY CORE VALUE; TREES & SHADE;
DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Integrate trees and shade into the design of new
development and redevelopment projects throughout Phoenix.
The proposed PUD sets forth development standards that require enhanced
landscaping and shade, including detached sidewalks and minimum shade
requirements for bicycle infrastructure, sidewalks, pedestrian pathways, and parking
areas. This will help to provide shade for pedestrians and bicyclists in and around the
community and to mitigate the urban heat island effect by covering hard surfaces, thus
cooling the micro-climate around the vicinity.

PARADISE RIDGE PCD
4. The Paradise Ridge PCD, generally bounded by Scottsdale Road to the east, 64th
Street to the west, Pinnacle Peak Road to the north, and the CAP canal to the
south, was initially established in 1994. The subject site was zoned R-2 SP (Multi-
Family Residence District, Special Permit) PCD in the original PCD approval. In
2003, a Major Amendment to the Paradise Ridge PCD was approved for a
significant portion of the southern part of the PCD area, changing the subject site to
CP/BP (Commerce Park District, Business Park Option) PCD. These zoning
designations remain on the subject site today.
Staff Report: Z-87-E-03-2
January 26, 2026
PROPOSAL
5. The proposal was developed utilizing the PUD zoning district. The Planned Unit
Development (PUD) is intended to create a built environment that is superior to that
produced by conventional zoning districts and design guidelines. Using a
collaborative and comprehensive approach, an applicant authors and proposes
standards and guidelines that are tailored to the context of a site on a case by case
basis. Where the PUD Development Narrative is silent on a requirement, the
applicable Zoning Ordinance provisions will be applied.
6. The PUD proposes a six-story hotel with 260 hotel rooms. The existing north-south
wash through the site will remain and will include a trail along it, which will facilitate
pedestrian connectivity from the south to Mayo Boulevard.
7. Land Use
The proposed development narrative allows hotels and restaurants, bars, and
cocktail lounges as primary uses and associated accessory uses.
8. Development Standards
The table below summarizes the key development standards set forth in the
narrative, which are most closely analogous to the CP/BP zoning district. The
building height allowed in the proposed PUD is more than the height of 56 feet
allowed in the CP/BP district, the proposed PUD allows a smaller building setback
adjacent to Mayo Boulevard than would be required in the CP/BP district, and the
proposed PUD requires larger building setbacks not adjacent to a street than would
be required in the CP/BP district. The proposed parking matches the Phoenix
Zoning Ordinance requirement. Standards for shade and bicycle parking in the PUD
exceed Phoenix Zoning Ordinance standards.
Standard PUD Proposed
Maximum Building 88 feet to top of parapet
Height
Maximum Hotel Keys 260
Maximum Lot 20% of total net site area
Coverage
Minimum Perimeter North (Mayo Boulevard): 20 feet
Building Setbacks West (64th Street): 20 feet
East: 250 feet
South: 70 feet
Vehicular Parking 1 space per hotel key
Bicycle Parking 10 spaces
Minimum Shade Public Sidewalks and Shared-Use Paths: 75%,
achieved by shade trees
Private Sidewalks, Pedestrian Pathways, and Shared-
Use Paths: 50%
Staff Report: Z-87-E-03-2
January 26, 2026
Corners of Traffic Signals: 75%, to allow pedestrians to
wait comfortably for the signal to change, subject to
sight visibility requirements
Transit Stops: 75%
Bicycle Parking and Bicycle Repair Stations: 75%
Surface Parking Areas: 15%
Gathering Areas and Seating Areas: 50%
Improved Open Space and Usable Open Space: 50%
The proposed PUD includes a provision in the Parking Standards sub-section of the
Development Standards section that allows a reduced depth of parking space and
drive aisle dimensions combined, and one less loading space than would be
required by the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance standard. The Traffic Services Division
reviewed and approved the proposed depth.
Staff recommends several modifications to the PUD Development Narrative in order
to make minor technical corrections. These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 1.a
through 1.c and 1.i.
The landscape review team in the Site Planning Division has requested that live
coverage be maintained to a maximum of three feet in height, rather than two feet,
and that this height restriction exclude accents. This is addressed in Stipulation
Nos. 1.d, 1.e, and 1.g.
The Site Planning Division also identified that parking overhang is proposed to
impede within the required south landscape setback, which is not permitted. Staff
recommends that the exhibits be revised to remove parking overhang from the
south landscape setback and to enhance the planting standards for the south
landscape setback. This is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 1.f and 1.j.
The subject site is located within the Paradise Ridge PCD. Staff recommends
including relevant PCD stipulations that require Master Plans to be submitted for
any development, right-of-way improvements to be subject to a Master Street Plan,
and water and wastewater to be subject to Master Plan requirements. These are
addressed in Stipulation Nos. 16 through 18.
9. Landscape Standards
The PUD sets forth standards for perimeter landscape setbacks and landscaping
within adjacent rights-of-way. The table below summarizes the key landscape
standards. The landscape setbacks adjacent to streets proposed in the PUD are
less than would be required in the CP/BP district. The streetscape and all the
planting standards exceed the requirements of the CP/BP district.
Staff Report: Z-87-E-03-2
January 26, 2026
Standard PUD Proposed
Minimum Landscape North (Mayo Boulevard): 20 feet
Setbacks West (64th Street): 20 feet

foot-wide landscape area between back of curb and
sidewalk
64th Street: 10-foot-wide detached sidewalk, 10-foot-
wide landscape area between back of curb and
sidewalk
10. Fences and Walls
The PUD proposes compliance with Phoenix Zoning Ordinance standards for
fences and walls with two exceptions:
• A perimeter site fence or wall enclosing the development is not permitted
(with the exception for any wall constructed on the south property line by the
separate property owner, resulting in a shared wall condition, except along
the shared-use path easement along the east side of the site).
• All parking areas are required to be screened from public rights-of-way and
Staff Report: Z-87-E-03-2
January 26, 2026
adjacent developments, which may consist of decorative solid masonry walls
a minimum of 40 inches in height, landscaping, or other functionally
integrated site features, or may be screened behind buildings. Breaks in
screening are permitted for no more than 10 percent of any individual
parking frontage to provide visual interest, articulation, and to enhanced site
permeability.
11. Lighting
The PUD proposes compliance with Phoenix Zoning Ordinance standards related
to lighting with additional lighting requirements as follows:
• Pedestrian lighting along private and public sidewalks to provide adequate
and consistent illumination along walkways, in addition to a maximum height
of 15 feet for light fixtures.
• Along the wash corridor pedestrian trail, illuminated bollards are required to
be located 60 feet on center along the length of the trail.
12. Design Guidelines
The PUD proposes design guidelines that enhance the appearance and
functionality of the buildings and amenities on-site. Buildings will use a color palette
that complements the desert landscape and will provide a variety of materials on
each building façade. Buildings will not have blank walls exceeding 50 feet in
length, and the wash corridor will have amenity requirements.
The PUD proposes design guidelines for treatment of the Mayo Boulevard street
frontage, including an artistic or decorative wall feature along Mayo Boulevard and
enhanced pedestrian nodes.
The PUD proposes a variety of other design guidelines, including screen walls to
utilize architectural detailing consistent or complementary to the building façade,
pedestrian connections to the public sidewalks and wash corridor pathway, traffic
calming standards, entry/exit enhancements, a public bicycle repair station, and
water conservation standards.
13. Signs
The PUD proposes that signage comply with the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance.
14. Sustainability
The PUD proposes dual glaze windows with high performance low-e glazing, that
all primary site lighting be LED lighting, that water efficient landscaping be provided,
various water conservation measures, and that recycling be provided for hotel
guests and visitors internal to the building.

AREA PLANS, OVERLAY DISTRICTS, AND INITIATIVES
15. Desert Ridge Kierland Major Employment Corridor
The subject site is located within the Desert Ridge Kierland Major Employment
Corridor. This employment corridor along the Loop 101 Freeway includes corporate
offices, healthcare facilities, and regional retail centers in the Desert Ridge,
Paradise Ridge, and Kierland areas. The proposed PUD allows for the creation of
short-term stays to support major employers in close proximity to their campuses.

16. Peripheral Areas C and D General Plan
In November 1987, the Phoenix City Council adopted the Peripheral Areas C and D
General Plan. In the Phoenix General Plan 1985-2000, four peripheral planning
areas were identified and designated for special study independent of the process
that led to the development of the General Plan. Two of these areas, consisting of
approximately 111 largely undeveloped square miles, are in the far north and are
generally referred to as the land above the Central Arizona Project (CAP) canal.
These areas have been designated Peripheral Areas C and D, generally bounded
by Carefree Highway on the north, the Scottsdale corporate boundary on the east,
the CAP and Jomax Road on the south, and 67th Avenue on the west. Jomax Road
is the dividing line between Area C on the south and Area D on the north. The plan
is an amendment to the Phoenix General Plan that provides recommendations
regarding land use and development characteristics to build-out of the planning
area. The plan is intended to be consistent with and build on the goals and policies
identified in the General Plan. The plan contains seven goals that reflect the
Staff Report: Z-87-E-03-2
January 26, 2026
multiple facets of the broad public interest in providing for development of these
sensitive lands in an orderly and efficiency manner while respecting their unique
and special characteristics.
The subject site is within Area C of the plan. The PUD is consistent with the
following goals from the plan:
• Goal 2: Preserve environmental amenities.
The PUD will preserve the wash on the east side of the site.
• Goal 6: Conserve water.
The PUD incorporates design guidelines that address water conservation,
including low-water-use plants.
Peripheral Areas C and D General Plan Planning Area Boundary Map

17. 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.
Staff Report: Z-87-E-03-2
January 26, 2026
In order to address the goals of this plan, the PUD requires the following:
• A minimum of 10 bicycle parking space to be provided, installed per the
requirements in the WU Code and located near the main lobby entrance
• A minimum of one bicycle repair station (“fix it station”) to be provided and
maintained on site along the wash corridor, adjacent to the wash pathway.
18. Complete Streets Design Guidelines
In 2018, the Phoenix City Council adopted the Complete Streets Design Guidelines.
The design guidelines 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 order to address these design
guidelines, the PUD requires detached and shaded sidewalks on both streets.
Additionally, the Public Transit Department requested that a bus pad on eastbound
Mayo Boulevard be constructed.
19. 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. Recycling is addressed in the Sustainability Section.
20. Monarch Butterfly Pledge
In April 2021, Mayor Kate Gallego signed the National Wildlife Federation’s Mayor’s
Monarch Pledge. This pledge commits the city to take action to support the
monarch butterfly population. In the United States, loss of milkweed habitat is a
major factor in the decline of the monarchs. Arizona has at least 29 species of
milkweed native to the state. Adult monarchs feed on the nectar of many flowers,
but they breed only where milkweeds are found. In order to support the monarch
butterfly population, the PUD requires a minimum of 10 percent of the required
shrubs be a milkweed or other native nectar species and be planted in groups of
three or more.
21. 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 and Low Impact Development Details for Alternative Stormwater
Staff Report: Z-87-E-03-2
January 26, 2026
Management to benefit the environment, promote water conservation, reduce urban
heat, improve the public health, and create additional green spaces. In order to
address this goal, the PUD requires a minimum of two green stormwater
infrastructure (GSI) elements for stormwater management to be implemented.
22. 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 recommends a standard stipulation for rezoning cases to provide EV
charging infrastructure. In order to address the goals of this plan, the PUD requires
a minimum of three percent of the required standard parking spaces and 12.5
percent of the required accessible parking spaces to include EV Installed
infrastructure. Additionally, one electrical outlet is required adjacent to bicycle
parking for electric bicycle charging capabilities.
23. 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 standard stipulations for all rezoning cases that will address
best practices related to water usage in nine specific categories. In order to address
this policy, the PUD requires the following:
• Only landscape materials listed in the Phoenix Active Management Area
Low-Water-Use/Drought-Tolerant Plant List shall be utilized.
• Natural turf shall only be utilized for required retention areas and functional
turf areas.
• Landscaping shall be maintained by permanent and automatic/water efficient
WaterSense labeled irrigation controllers (or similar smart controller) to
minimize maintenance and irrigation water consumption for all on and offsite
landscape irrigation.
• Pressure regulating sprinkler heads and/or drip lines shall be utilized in any
turf areas to reduce water waste.
Staff Report: Z-87-E-03-2
January 26, 2026
• A leak detection device shall be installed for the irrigation system of
landscape areas larger than 10,000 square feet.
• A minimum of two green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) elements for
stormwater management be implemented.
• Documentation shall be provided that demonstrates a commitment to
participate in the City of Phoenix Businesses Water Efficiency Program for a
minimum of 20 years.
• A minimum of 10% of the gross area of the site shall be preserved and
dedicated as permanent undisturbed open space.
24. Shade Phoenix Plan
In November 2024, the Phoenix City Council adopted the Shade Phoenix Plan. The
Shade Phoenix Plan prioritizes increasing shade coverage throughout the City to
improve health and quality of life. Investing in shade can address the urban heat
island effect, clean the air, preserve Sonoran vegetation, and prevent health
complications related to prolonged exposure to heat. The Shade Phoenix Plan
provides numerous strategies to increase shade including expanding and
maintaining existing shade, strengthening tree code enforcement, and developing
shade stipulations in rezoning cases. In order to address the goals of this plan, the
PUD requires the following:
• Minimum 75 percent shade for public sidewalks and shared-use paths.
• Minimum 50 percent shade for private sidewalks, pedestrian pathways, and
shared-use paths.
• Minimum 75 percent shade for corners of traffic signals to allow for
pedestrians to wait comfortably for the signal to change, subject to sight
visibility requirements.
• Minimum 75 percent shade for transit stops.
• Minimum 75 percent shade for bicycle parking and bicycle repair stations.
• Minimum 15 percent shade for surface parking areas.
• Minimum 50 percent shade for gathering areas, seating areas, improved
open space, and usable open space.
COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY

OTHER
29. 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 City of Phoenix Archaeology
Office must be notified immediately and allowed time to properly assess the
materials. This is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 12 through 14.

We oppose the entire rezoning of this area from residential to commercial and
apartments. The entire corridors along 68th St, Scottsdale Rd to/from Mayo/101, and
now 56th St are being built up into commercial and apartments buildings which will
increase the traffic on streets that are not set up to handle what will be double or triple
number of vehicles all trying to get on the 101 from Scottsdale, 64th, and 56th St. in
addition to bringing the Cardinals training facility within 1 mile radius, the congestion is
already bad, and this will make it worse.

Hi Noel,
I did receive the notice of the next two meetings, however I will be out of town for the
Dec. 8 Meeting.
After reviewing the latest documents, would you please add the following comments
to your neighborhood summary comments page:
1) As a resident of Paradise Ridge which will be next door to the proposed hotel, I do
not believe this is the right venue for the area with million dollar plus homes. A nice
restaurant would be a much better option for the site especially due to the additional
residences and town homes that are being built adjacent to the site. A hotel is too
transient for a family community. There already is a hotel for Mayo visitors, which is
set back and closer to the hospital, so it is likely this hotel will be filled with event
guests who have no concern of keeping a neighborhood quiet, clean and safe.
2) If the plan for the hotel does get approved, my thoughts for adjustments follow:
-the height is too high for being so close to residents homes. The lighting will be too
high for the neighborhood at night. I suggest reducing the floors to four. I just stayed
at a Hyatt Place in Flagstaff and it had four floors which made it look to fit the area
better. Is anyone considering the water usage for a 6 story hotel?
-The logo on the front top of the building doesn't fit with our desert landscape and
should be more discreet like the ASU building, showing only the ASU letters, not the
full name, and in a silver/white look which is located on the next lot.
-The company colors of the bright orange and green are again to "loud" and vivid for
the desert space of Phoenix. Just as McDonalds does not have yellow arches in
Sedona, these colors should be muted to keep the integrity of the desert landscape.
-The renderings sent did not show any landscaping but I would guess that is in the
plan, and the more the better.
-The hotel should be required to have a set maximum number of adults per room that
matches the beds. To have this become a constant churn of an overcrowded room for
our local events is inappropriate for the residents, and our police department.
-The hotel should have 24/7 security on site for the hotel and parking lot to get ahead
of issues.
-I would expect the pool to be fenced and locked for guests only.
Thank you for the opportunity to express my concerns.

Karen,
Thank you for reaching out and we will add your comments to the summary report to the City for that
first meeting as well as pass them along to the developer team.
On process, the next step is our informational presentation to the Desert View Village Planning
Committee, which is scheduled for December 2nd. After that, we will have a second neighborhood
meeting, date still not firmed up yet. If you received a letter last time, you will get another. If not, please
send me your address and I will make sure you are on our mailing list.
In the interim, please let me know of any other questions. Hope to see you at one of the upcoming
meetings.

Hi Noel,
We met at the meeting with the Paradise Ridge residents. I didn't have time to fill out the comment card but I
would like to share in writing the points of concern that I mentioned to you for your thoughts and discussions.
With the proposal for the hotel to be so close to Paradise Ridge homes, I do not think that is the best venue for
the area. A high end restaurant on the Mayo facing property would be better suited for the residents in the area to
use. We already have an influx of drunken, rowdy people coming in to town for all of the events in the area ex.
golf outing, etc. and a lower price hotel will attract more.
In addition, the drawings showed a building not considerate of the southwest landscape in architecture or colors
which is important. The height of the building is too high as well. If it was designed as a higher end boutique
hotel, I think it might be received better, or another use for the property.
Also, I haven't received any communication about meetings for residents to express their thoughts in person.
Has that been sent out or will it be coming soon?
Thank you, Karen Batenic

Hi Adrian,
I have attended a meeting that Snell & Wilmer conducted for getting the land rezoned near my
home. I realize that with Mayo Hospital expanding they want to provide short term stays for
patients and families, but this is not the place to do it. That corner backs up to my
neighborhood Paradise Ridge with single family homes. A 7 story hotel with a parking
surrounding it just isn't right. Wouldn't a 2-3 story building be more in line with what
surrounds us? Or have the builder of the the townhomes get to build out all the way to Mayo
Blvd?
Please let me know how I can be updated more about the dates and process of this rezoning?
Thank you,
Michelle Seabrook

findings and stated that staff recommends approval, subject to stipulations. Mr.
Zambrano shared the recommended stipulations and upcoming hearing schedule.
Applicant Presentation:
Nick Wood, with Snell & Wilmer LLP, introduced himself and provided context of
surrounding developments in the area. Mr. Wood noted that the wash on the east side
of the site is approximately 180 feet wide. Mr. Wood discussed the proposed General
Plan Land Use Map designation. Mr. Wood then displayed and discussed the site plan,
landscape plan, tree and shade plan, elevations, and renderings.
Questions from Committee:
Committee Member Richard Carlucci asked what the Mayo Flyover Study Area
Intergovernmental Agreement is and what the $5 million contribution will go towards,
per Stipulation 6. Mr. Wood responded that there was a point in time when Mayo
Boulevard was going to span over the Loop 101 freeway west of Tatum Boulevard,
within Superblock 8, to connect to the south side of the freeway. Mr. Wood stated that
there was a development agreement between the Arizona State Land Department and
the City of Phoenix regarding that flyover. Mr. Wood stated that they think the money
will be used for roadway infrastructure, but they are not certain. Committee Member
Carlucci asked for clarification that this funding contribution is in addition to the required
right-of-way improvements adjacent to the site. Mr. Wood responded affirmatively.
Committee Member George Birchby asked if there have been studies for the need for
hotels in the area. Mr. Wood responded that he does not know but noted that Plaza
Companies builds many hotels and they do their research on market demand. Mr.
Wood added that the proposed hotel would likely not draw away other hotels, noting
that the need for them is exponential.
Committee Member David Kollar asked if there have been any traffic studies done to
analyze the traffic patterns and traffic congestion, noting that there are multifamily
residential developments proposed to the north and south. Mr. Wood responded that
the Traffic Impact Analysis studied traffic in all directions generated from the site and
from surrounding developments. Mr. Wood stated that according to the traffic engineer,
the roadway network at full buildout will be able to handle the generated traffic.
Committee Member Kollar asked if the offsite improvements include 64th Street
expansion to Bell Road. Mr. Wood responded that the City is currently working on
obtaining federal funds in order to expand 64th Street to Bell Road, but this
development is not part of that.
Committee Member Gary Kirkilas thanked the applicant for incorporating green
stormwater infrastructure standards, water conservation standards, and using the wash
as a connection to the Reach 11 Recreation Area.
Chair Steven Bowser echoed appreciation for incorporation of water conservation
standards.

Rezoning Case No. Z-87-E-03-2 is a request to rezone 8.20 acres located at the
southeast corner of 64th Street and Mayo Boulevard from S-1 (Approved CP/BP PCD)
(Ranch or Farm Residence, Approved Commerce Park District, Business Park Option,
Planned Community District) to PUD PCD (Planned Unit Development, Planned
Community District) for the Plaza Companies Hospitality PUD for a major amendment to
the Paradise Ridge PCD to allow a hotel.
The Desert View Village Planning Committee (VPC) heard this request on February 3,
2026 and recommended approval, per the staff recommendation, by a vote of 9-0.
On February 5, 2026, the applicant had a follow-up pre-application meeting with plan
review staff for the updated plans of this development. During this meeting, plan review
staff raised concerns with the 10-foot-wide detachment of the sidewalk becoming less
than 10 feet when adjacent to the deceleration lane along Mayo Boulevard. Per the
Street Transportation Department, the ultimate street buildout is dictated by the
approved master street plan. To address this concern, staff recommends additional
language be added to the Streetscape Standards Section of the PUD Development
Narrative to refer to the approved master street plan for the required landscape strip
width.
Staff recommends approval, per the modified stipulations in BOLD font below:
1. An updated Development Narrative for the Plaza Companies Hospitality PUD
reflecting the changes approved through this request shall be submitted to the
Planning and Development Department within 30 days of City Council approval of
this request. The updated Development Narrative shall be consistent with the

Background/Issues/Analysis
SUBJECT SITE
1. This request is to rezone 2.50 acres located approximately 330 feet west of the
northwest corner of 11th Avenue and Michigan Avenue from R1-8 (Single-Family
Residence District) to R-2 (Multi-Family Residence District) for single-family
residential. The subject site is currently developed with a single-family residence.
GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP DESIGNATIONS
2. The subject site and the surrounding properties to the north, south, east, and west
are designated as Residential 3.5 to 5 dwelling units per acre on the General Plan
Land Use Map. The proposed R-2 zoning district is not consistent with the General
Plan Land Use Map designation of Residential 3.5 to 5 dwelling units per acre;
however, a General Plan Amendment is not required as the site is under 10 acres in
size and the proposed zoning and land use map designation both fall under the
same housing type, traditional lot.

PROPOSAL
4. Site Plan
The proposal is for a 19-lot residential subdivision. As shown on the site plan,
attached as an exhibit, the individual lots will have a minimum width of 40 feet and a
depth of between 67 feet and 78 feet. Each individual lot will observe a ten-foot front
building setback as measured to the livable area of the house, and an 18-foot front
building setback as measured to the face of the garage door. The site plan depicts a
15-foot perimeter setback along its north, east, and south sides, and a 20-foot
perimeter setback along 13th Avenue. The proposal will also include approximately
eight percent open space. Stipulation No. 1 requires the development to be in
greneral conformance with the site plan.

STUDIES AND POLICIES
6. Complete Streets Guiding Principles
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. As stipulated, the proposed
development would provide a sidewalk along 13th Avenue adjacent to the site. This
is addressed in Stipulation No. 3.
Staff Report: Z-190-25-3
February 6, 2026
7. 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. The City of Phoenix offers
recycling services for single-family residential properties.
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 additional
new housing units. 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. 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. 7 through 12.
10. 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. 11, which requires a minimum of two GI techniques for
stormwater management to be implemented.
Staff Report: Z-190-25-3
February 6, 2026
COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY
11. As of the writing of this report, staff has received seven emails and various
attachments expressing opposition to this request citing concerns with the
configuration of the cul-de-sac configuration located near the southeast corner of
the site.
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS
12. The Street Transportation Department requires the developer to construct a 50-foot
modified cul-de-sac at the termination of Michigan Avenue as well as a five-foot
wide sidewalk along the east side of 13th Avenue adjacent to the site. The Street
Transportation Department also requires the replacement of damaged or obsolete
improvements, and that all improvements be consistent with the accepted Traffic
Impact Statement, and that all new improvements be in compliance with ADA
accessibility standards. These comments are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 2
through 6.
13. The Aviation Department requires that the property owner record a Notice to
Prospective Purchasers of Proximity to Airport in order to disclose the existence,
and operational characteristics of the Deer Valley Airport to future owners or tenants
of the property. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 13.
OTHER
14. The site has not been identified as being archeologically sensitive. However, 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 City
of Phoenix Archaeology Office must be notified immediately and allowed time to
properly assess the materials. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 14.
15. 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. 15.
16. The developer will provide a hydraulic/hydrologic analysis of offsite storm water
flows, when present, at the time of preliminary site plan submittal for verification of
required infrastructure in regard to lot space and density.
17. 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.

Re: Formal Opposition to Rezoning Application Z-190-25 – SEC 13th Avenue
and Villa Maria Drive
I am the homeowner of 1117 W. Michigan Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona, and
have resided at this property for approximately eleven (11) years. I am writing to
formally and unequivocally oppose Rezoning Application Z-190-25, specifically
as it relates to the proposed traffic reconfiguration and the construction of a
roundabout directly impacting my cul-de-sac and my residence.
The proposed roundabout would be constructed immediately in front of my
home and one other residence in a small cul-de-sac consisting of only five homes.
This is not an arterial roadway environment. The placement of a roundabout at this
location would effectively place my home on the functional berm of a highway,
subjecting my property to traffic conditions wholly incompatible with residential
use.
There is minimal setback between the roadway and my home. I work from
home full time, with my primary office window located approximately forty (40)
feet from the road. The prolonged construction activity, followed by permanent
increases in traffic volume, noise, and vehicular proximity, would materially
impair my ability to continue working from my home, which has been my
established and stable work environment for over a decade.
From a public safety standpoint, the proposed design creates an
unreasonable risk. Vehicles navigating a roundabout in such close proximity to
residences increase the likelihood of loss-of-control incidents. Given the lack of
significant buffer space or frontage, a vehicle could leave the roadway and strike a
residence directly. My office is in direct line of any loss-of-control incidents. This
is not a speculative concern given the geometry, speed variance, and proximity
involved.
Additionally, there are approximately seven (7), or more, children under the
age of thirteen who regularly ride bicycles and play within this neighborhood,
including within my cul-de-sac. Introducing a roundabout and higher traffic
volumes into what is currently a low-traffic residential area creates a foreseeable
and unacceptable safety hazard for these children.
The proposed changes would also result in a substantial negative impact on
property value and marketability. Homes located immediately adjacent to
roundabouts experience reduced desirability due to noise, headlights, traffic
exposure, and safety concerns. This would directly impair my ability to sell or
refinance my home in the future.
My objections align with established City of Phoenix planning principles
applied by the City of Phoenix Planning & Development Department, including:
Land use compatibility
Phoenix planning policy emphasizes compatibility between new development and
existing neighborhoods. Introducing a roundabout into a small residential cul-de-
sac conflicts with established low-density residential use and character.
Protection of established neighborhoods
City planning documents consistently prioritize protecting existing neighborhoods
from incompatible traffic patterns and infrastructure that disproportionately burden
a small number of residents.
Transportation context sensitivity
Traffic infrastructure is intended to be context-sensitive. Roundabouts are
typically appropriate for collector or arterial roadways, not for short residential
cul-de-sacs with minimal setbacks and no buffering.
Public safety considerations
Planning and zoning decisions must account for foreseeable safety impacts.
Increased traffic volume and altered traffic patterns in close proximity to homes
and children present a legitimate safety concern that should be avoided.
Property impact and livability
City planning principles recognize that rezonings should not impose undue
negative impacts on nearby property owners, including loss of quiet enjoyment,
reduced livability, or diminished property value.
To be clear, I am not opposed to the development of the nineteen homes
referenced in this application, provided that the existing block wall separating the
new development from my cul-de-sac remains intact and no roundabout or
similar traffic feature is introduced into or immediately adjacent to our
residential street.
I, as well as my neighbors, as home owners and parents, intend to attend all
scheduled hearings and meetings related to this application and will continue to
strongly oppose any design that introduces a roundabout or materially increases
traffic exposure to my cul-de-sac.
Please include this letter as part of the official record for Rezoning
Application Z-190-25.
Sincerely,
Kimberly Sisk

Re: Formal Opposition to Rezoning Application Z-190-25 – SEC 13th Avenue
and Villa Maria Drive
This is my 2nd follow-up letter with additional information regarding the
above rezoning application.
I am the homeowner of 1117 W. Michigan Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona. I am
writing to formally and unequivocally oppose Rezoning Application Z-190-25,
specifically as it relates to the proposed traffic reconfiguration and the
construction of a roundabout directly impacting my cul-de-sac and my home.
I am attaching photographs of my street, my home, and the proposed
location of the roundabout. These images clearly demonstrate that there is no
physical space within our cul-de-sac to accommodate a roundabout.
Construction of a roundabout at this location would materially and
negatively alter the livability of my home and neighborhood. I have relied on the
existing on-street parking for the past 11 years. A roundabout would eliminate
those spaces entirely, leaving me with no practical parking for my multiple
vehicles and no accommodation for guests during holidays, birthdays, or family
gatherings. In addition, vehicle headlights would be directed into my living space
at night, and my children would lose the ability to safely play and ride in front of
our home. These impacts would significantly disrupt both my family life and my
ability to work from home.
The loss of parking would not be limited to my household. The adjacent
subdivision, which already has constrained parking, routinely relies on this area
for overflow parking during family and community events. A roundabout would
remove that shared capacity and exacerbate existing constraints for multiple
households.
I have also included a photograph of the recently developed lot at the end of
11th Avenue and Union Hills. That project utilized a U-shaped roadway design
and successfully accommodated 13 homes without the need for a roundabout.
Construction was completed in January 2026, so the aerial imagery has not yet
updated to reflect this development. This example demonstrates that safe,
functional alternatives exist that do not impose severe and unnecessary
impacts on established neighborhoods.
To be clear, I am not opposed to the development of the nineteen homes
referenced in this application, provided that the existing block wall separating the
new development from my cul-de-sac remains intact and no roundabout or
similar traffic feature is introduced into or immediately adjacent to our
residential street.
My neighbors, as homeowners and parents, intend to attend all scheduled
hearings and meetings related to this application and will continue to strongly
oppose any design that introduces a roundabout or materially increases traffic
exposure to my cul-de-sac
Please include this letter as part of the official record for Rezoning

home in the neighborhood that this would be an increased safety risk for.

traffic residential area creates a foreseeable and unacceptable safety hazard for
these children.
The proposed changes would also result in a substantial negative impact on
property value and marketability. Homes located immediately adjacent to
roundabouts experience reduced desirability due to noise, headlights, traffic
exposure, and safety concerns. This would directly impair my ability to sell or
refinance my home in the future.
My objections align with established City of Phoenix planning principles
applied by the City of Phoenix Planning & Development Department, including:
Land use compatibility
Phoenix planning policy emphasizes compatibility between new development and
existing neighborhoods. Introducing a roundabout into a small residential cul-de-
sac conflicts with established low-density residential use and character.
Protection of established neighborhoods
City planning documents consistently prioritize protecting existing neighborhoods
from incompatible traffic patterns and infrastructure that disproportionately burden
a small number of residents.
Transportation context sensitivity
Traffic infrastructure is intended to be context-sensitive. Roundabouts are
typically appropriate for collector or arterial roadways, not for short residential
cul-de-sacs with minimal setbacks and no buffering.
Public safety considerations
Planning and zoning decisions must account for foreseeable safety impacts.
Increased traffic volume and altered traffic patterns in close proximity to homes
and children present a legitimate safety concern that should be avoided.
Property impact and livability
City planning principles recognize that rezonings should not impose undue
negative impacts on nearby property owners, including loss of quiet enjoyment,
reduced livability, or diminished property value.
To be clear, I am not opposed to the development of the nineteen homes
referenced in this application, provided that the existing block wall separating the
new development from my cul-de-sac remains intact and no roundabout or
similar traffic feature is introduced into or immediately adjacent to our
residential street.
I, as a homeowner, plan to attend any possible scheduled hearings and
meetings related to this application and will continue to strongly oppose any
design that introduces a roundabout or materially increases traffic exposure to
my cul-de-sac. I will be unable to attend the February 17, 2026, meeting as I have
a scheduled medical procedure that day.
Please include this letter as part of the official record for Rezoning
Application Z-190-25.

Re: Formal Opposition to Rezoning Application Z-190-25 – SEC 13th Avenue
and Villa Maria Drive
I am the homeowner of 1105 W. Michigan Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona. I am
writing to formally and unequivocally oppose Rezoning Application Z-190-25,
specifically as it relates to the proposed traffic reconfiguration and the
construction of a roundabout directly impacting my cul-de-sac and my home.
The proposed roundabout would be constructed in a small cul-de-sac
consisting of only five homes. This is not an arterial roadway environment. The
placement of a roundabout at this location would effectively place my home on the
functional berm of a highway, subjecting my property to traffic conditions wholly
incompatible with residential use.
There is minimal setback between the roadway and my home. The
prolonged construction activity, followed by permanent increases in traffic
volume, headlights shining into my home at night, noise, and vehicular proximity,
would materially impair any reasonable use and quiet enjoyment of my home.
From a public safety standpoint, the proposed design creates an
unreasonable risk. Vehicles navigating a roundabout in such close proximity to
residences increase the likelihood of loss-of-control incidents. Given the lack of
significant buffer space or frontage, a vehicle could leave the roadway and strike a
residence directly. This is not a speculative concern given the geometry, speed
variance, and proximity involved.
Additionally, there are approximately seven (7), or more, neighborhood
children under the age of thirteen who regularly ride bicycles and play within this
neighborhood, including within my cul-de-sac. Introducing a roundabout and
higher traffic volumes into what is currently a low-traffic residential area creates a
foreseeable and unacceptable safety hazard for these children.
The proposed changes would also result in a substantial negative impact on
property value and marketability. Homes located immediately adjacent to
roundabouts experience reduced desirability due to noise, headlights, traffic
exposure, and safety concerns. This would directly impair my ability to sell or
refinance my home in the future.

Re: Formal Opposition to Rezoning Application Z-190-25 – SEC 13th Avenue and Villa
Maria Drive
This is my 3rd follow-up letter with additional information regarding the above
rezoning application.
I am the homeowner of 1117 W. Michigan Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona. I am writing
to formally and unequivocally oppose Rezoning Application Z-190-25, specifically as it
relates to the proposed traffic reconfiguration and the construction of a roundabout
directly impacting my cul-de-sac and my home.
Roundabout safety concerns
Safety and Liability Concerns Regarding Backing Movements Into a Roundabout
Roundabouts are designed and engineered for continuous forward traffic flow. All
elements of a roundabout—geometry, sight lines, signage, pedestrian crossings, and
driver expectations—assume vehicles will enter, circulate, and exit while moving
forward.
Any design that requires or encourages drivers to back into or reverse near a
roundabout creates a foreseeable and avoidable safety hazard. This would require
us to back into our driveway, which doing so would also be a safety hazard.
From a traffic-engineering standpoint, reversing movements in a roundabout environment
are unsafe because drivers circulating in the roundabout are not expecting
backward movement. Their attention is directed to yielding patterns and vehicles
approaching from the left, not to a vehicle suddenly reversing into the travel path.
This violates fundamental principles of predictable driver behavior, which is a core
safety assumption in roadway design.
Visibility is also severely compromised. When a driver reverses, their field of view is
further reduced, increasing the risk of collision with circulating vehicles, pedestrians, and
cyclists. Pedestrian crossings are intentionally placed close to roundabout entries and
exits; reversing movements place pedestrians directly in conflict with a maneuver they
cannot reasonably anticipate.
From a safety and liability perspective, collisions involving backing vehicles are almost
universally attributed to the reversing driver. Because roundabouts are not designed to
accommodate reverse movements, there are no mitigating features to reduce that
risk. As a result, any crash involving backing in or near a roundabout would be entirely
foreseeable, raising serious concerns about exposure to liability for approving a
design that creates this condition.
In short, if a proposed roadway configuration makes backing into a roundabout
necessary or likely, that condition reflects a design failure, not a driver behavior
issue. Safer, well-established alternatives exist and should be considered to avoid
introducing an unnecessary and preventable safety risk into an established
neighborhood.
Site-Specific Dimensions & Physical Constraints
Based on the aerial view of the cul-de-sac serving 1105, 1109, 1113, 1117, and 1121 W.
Michigan Ave, the following constraints are visually evident (photo attached):
• This is a short residential cul-de-sac with homes lining both sides and no excess
pavement width.
• The turning area is already fully utilized for:
o Vehicle turnaround
o On-street parking
o Guest and overflow parking for adjacent subdivisions
• The proposed roundabout location is positioned inside the only functional
turning bulb, leaving no remaining space for:
o Forward-only vehicle circulation
o Parking retention
o Pedestrian clearance zones
Key planning reality:
A standard single-lane roundabout requires substantially more diameter than this cul-de-
sac provides. Even without landscaping or splitter islands, the geometry visible in the
aerial shows that a roundabout would physically displace parking and force backing
movements.
This is not a matter of preference — it is a space limitation.
2. Photo Overlay Explanation (Using My Actual Cul-de-Sac)
What the photo shows (from the attached aerial)
• The cul-de-sac is labeled with homes 1105 through 1121 along W. Michigan Ave
• The proposed roundabout location sits directly in front of existing residences
• There is no secondary access or escape route
Critical visual takeaway:
The overlay makes clear that forward circulation cannot physically occur here.
Backing is not hypothetical — it is the only way vehicles could maneuver.
3. This aerial shows the cul-de-sac serving homes 1105 through 1121 West Michigan
Avenue. Roundabouts are designed for continuous forward movement, but this location
does not have the physical diameter to support that. As the diagram shows, vehicles
would be forced to back up in order to maneuver, placing reversing traffic directly in
front of homes and pedestrian areas. Drivers do not expect reverse movements in a
roundabout, visibility is limited, and children and pedestrians are placed in unavoidable
conflict zones. From a planning and safety standpoint, if backing becomes necessary, that
indicates a design failure, not a driver behavior issue. Safer, forward-only alternatives
exist and should be used here.
Key Concerns for Consideration
Safety
• Roundabouts are engineered for continuous forward vehicle movement.
• The site geometry does not support forward-only circulation, creating forced
backing maneuvers.
• Reversing vehicles introduce unpredictable movements, limited sight distance, and
direct conflict with pedestrians and children near homes.
Neighborhood Impact
• The design would eliminate long-standing on-street parking relied upon by
multiple households.
• Loss of parking affects residents and adjacent subdivisions during normal use and
family gatherings.
• Headlight intrusion and proximity to residences materially affect livability, and
those working from home to continue their jobs.
Liability & Risk
• Collisions involving backing vehicles are typically assigned fault to the reversing
driver.
• Because the backing condition is inherent to the design, any resulting collision
would be foreseeable.
• Approving a backing-dependent configuration increases potential exposure when
safer alternatives exist.
This shows liability as foreseeable, not speculative, if rezoning application is
approved as submitted.
To be clear, I am not opposed to the development of the nineteen homes
referenced in this application, provided that the existing block wall separating the new
development from my cul-de-sac remains intact and no roundabout or similar traffic
feature is introduced into or immediately adjacent to our residential street.
My neighbors, as homeowners and parents, intend to attend all scheduled hearings
and meetings related to this application and will continue to strongly oppose any design
that introduces a roundabout or materially increases traffic exposure to my cul-de-sac
Please include this letter, as well as my prior two (2) letters and multiple
photographs 1-11, as part of the official record for Rezoning Application Z-190-25.
Sincerely,

STAFF PRESENTATION
Robert Kuhfuss, staff, presented the land use, zoning, and General Plan information
on the site and surrounding area. Mr. Kuhfuss depicted the proposed site layout and
other information. Mr. Kuhfuss highlighted the existing and proposed cul-de-sac
configuration, noting the likelihood of additional discussion on the subject. Mr.
Kuhfuss stated that the applicant is proposing three floor plans with four elevations
each. Mr. Kuhfuss presented the development standards associated with the
proposed zoning district stating that the proposal meets these standards. Mr. Kuhfuss
stated there were a number of city plans, overlays, and initiatives that were addressed
in the recommended stipulations of approval and provided an overview of the
recommended stipulations. Mr. Kuhfuss stated that several members of the public
had expressed concerns about the project, in particular the configuration of the cul-
de-sac. Mr. Kuhfuss presented staff’s findings and recommendation for approval.
APPLICANT PRESENTATION
Bill Allison, representing the applicant with Withey Morris Baugh, PLC, provided the
location of the property, stating that his client had also developed the property located
at the southwest corner of 11th Avenue and Union Hills Drive. Mr. Allison stated that
the proposed development would be similar to the site located to the north and east of
the subject site. Mr. Allison displayed the General Plan Land Use Map for the area
stating that the proposed density would be similar in density to the site located to the
200 West Washington Street, 3rd Floor • Phoenix, Arizona 85003-1611 • (602) 262-6882 397

north and east of the subject site. Mr. Allison provided a map depicting the zoning of
the site and surrounding area noting the site and the area to the south of the site is
currently zoned R1-8, while the area to the west is zoned R1-6 and the area to the
north and east is zoned R-3. Mr. Allison stated that their initial application was for R-3
zoning but due to a recent Zoning Text Amendment that was approved by the City
Council, the application was revised to R-2. Mr. Allison provided a summary of the
development plan stating the intent was to build 19 single-family homes at a density
of 7.7 dwelling units per acre. Mr. Allison stated that it was important to design the site
to meet all of the R-2 development standards without needing a variance. Mr. Allison
stated there would be a five-foot-wide sidewalk on 13th Avenue while the interior of
the site would have four-foot-wide sidewalks. Mr. Allison stated there would be
landscaping along 13th Avenue. Mr. Allison stated that the cul-de-sac would be
completed per the City’s requirements and that the primary entrance to the
community would be from 13th Avenue, with secondary access onto Michigan
Avenue. Mr. Allison displayed an image showing the configuration of the cul-de-sac
as originally submitted for site plan review in December of 2024, stating that the
Street Transportation Department required the completion of the cul-de-sac, noting
that it was not possible to complete the cul-de-sac in its entirety due to the
neighboring property. Mr. Allison stated they had discussed various configurations
with the City and ended up with the design as currently proposed. Mr. Allison stated
that sight visibility would be reviewed during site plan review. Mr. Allison stated that
the original site design did not take access from Michigan Avenue and that the City
would require the cul-de-sac to be completed regardless of whether the site takes
access at that location or not. Mr. Allison stated that it was not possible to obtain 19
lots on the site without a variance unless the cul-de-sac is completed as depicted. Mr.
Allison stated there would be three floor plans, each having four elevations. Mr.
Allison stated that the Traffic Impact Statement indicates there will be 173 trips per
day with AM and PM peak demands of 13 trips per day and 18 trips per day,
respectively. Mr. Allison stated that because of the limited impact, a full Traffic Impact
Analysis was not required. Mr. Allison summarized by stating the intent was to
develop an infill parcel in a manner that is consistent with the City’s Housing Policy to
add middle housing. Mr. Allison stated there would be street improvements on 13th
Avenue and at the cul-de-sac and reiterated there would be minimal vehicle traffic.
Mr. Allison provided a poster board depicting the proposed landscaping of the site.
QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE
Committee Member Paul Clark asked if there would be any stop signs at the cul-de-
sac. Mr. Allison stated that the site plan did not depict any stop signs and that the
applicant would be willing to install stop signs.
Committee Member Ricardo Romero asked how many lots were in the original
configuration. Mr. Allison stated the original configuration included 23 lots and would
have required a number of variances to complete.
Committee Member James Sutphen asked about the history of the existing cul-de-
sac and why it was configured that way. Mr. Allison stated that it was his

understanding that the developer of the property to the south was responsible for
constructing the south half of the cul-de-sac. Vice Chair Susan Herber asked if the
cul-de-sac would be required regardless of how that property was developed. Mr.
Allison stated that it was his understanding that the Street Transportation Department
would require the completion of the cul-de-sac.
Committee Member Romero asked what the price point would be and if they would
all be detached units. Mr. Allison stated that they would all be detached units and
that it was too early to tell what the price point would be other than market rate. Vice
Chair Herber asked if they would be detached rentals or for sale. Mr. Allison stated
they could be sold or rented and stated they would be platted lots as opposed to a
build-to-rent community. Mr. Allison clarified that a build-to-rent community would be
many units on a single lot, similar to an apartment complex. Vice Chair Herber stated
there were detached rentals in the area. Committee Paul Clark asked if there was a
builder in-tow. Mr. Allison stated that his client is the builder and that they just built the
project at the southwest corner of 11th Avenue and Union Hills Drive.
Committee Member Gerrald Adams asked if the land to the east of the cul-de-sac
was owned by the City and if the cul-de-sac could extend into that area. Mr. Kuhfuss
stated that the land needed to construct a full cul-de-sac was owned by the adjacent
subdivision and that the City had no way of acquiring the additional land at this time.
Committee Member Fareed Bailey asked who owned the right-of-way to the south
of the neighboring property. Mr. Kuhfuss stated that the City owned that right-of-way.
Committee Member Romero stated that it was his understanding that any new
development that occurs on the site would be required to construct the cul-de-sac in
the manner depicted. Mr. Kuhfuss stated that was correct.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Kimberly Sisk stated that she owns one of the homes located within the existing
partial cul-de-sac on Michigan Avenue adjacent to the site. Ms. Sisk stated that the
property referenced previously at 11th Avenue and Union Hills Drive consists of 13
detached rental properties and suggested that the Committee inquire more deeply
into the rental issue. Ms. Sisk stated that she submitted multiple letters and seven
photographs in an effort to demonstrate how the cul-de-sac currently functions. Ms.
Sisk stated that a rezoning is not simply a request for increased density and that the
proposal will change the function of a terminal residential street into a circulation
roadway, placing maneuvering space within a private street, which creates a
geometric safety conflict as opposed to a traffic volume issue. Ms. Sisk stated that the
Traffic Impact Study submitted for this case only evaluated standard intersection
behavior as a result of the proposed rezone and assumes that vehicles will approach,
stop, and depart in predictable forward movements. Ms. Sisk stated that Michigan
Avenue does not operate as an intersection and that the cul-de-sac serves as
parking, maneuvering, and turnaround space, where vehicles routinely back into the
path of travel. Ms. Sisk stated that the study never analyzed reverse movements, or
reaction, sight distance, and conflicts between circulating vehicles. Ms. Sisk stated
that opening the cul-de-sac to the development introduces traffic into an intersection

control area containing residential driveways. Ms. Sisk stated that vehicles leaving the
subject property will not be focused on vehicles backing out of residential driveways,
and that this is a foreseeable and dominant traffic conflict that has never been
modeled. Ms. Sisk stated that the traffic report relies on low trip count to conclude
safety, but low traffic volume does not eliminate the geometric conflict points and a
design that forces incompatible movements remains unsafe regardless of the traffic
count because the hazard is structural in nature. Ms. Sisk stated that she works from
home and that her office window faces the street. Ms. Sisk stated, rhetorically, that if
the cul-de-sac is approved as proposed, she could operate a drive-through food
window from her office. Ms. Sisk stated that children could no longer play in the street
once the road becomes a pass-through street, that neighborhood gatherings would
disappear due to the constant circulation of vehicles, and that on-street parking
becomes unusable due to interference with turning movements in a confined space.
Ms. Sisk emphasized that this is not hypothetical and that the current proposal would
turn a terminal street into a conductor roadway with inherent traffic conflicts. Ms. Sisk
stated that since the traffic study did not evaluate the primary operating condition, it
cannot support safe operation and requested the Committee deny access onto
Michigan Avenue or require a supplemental traffic study to evaluate these conflicts
prior to approval. Ms. Sisk referred to Mr. Allison’s statement that the City requires the
completion of the cul-de-sac as part of this development; however, this does not
require that the site take access from the cul-de-sac.
Maria Tovar stated that she owns a property located along the south side of the
proposed development. Ms. Tovar stated that she recently acquired the property and
was concerned about how the proposed development would affect her property
values. Ms. Tovar expressed concerns that the homes might be for low income and
that 19 houses could have an impact on crime in the area. Ms. Tovar expressed
concerns over the potential traffic in the neighborhood and how that might affect the
ability for kids to walk to the nearby elementary school. Ms. Tovar expressed
concerns over vibration caused by construction activities and with privacy adjacent to
one-acre lots.
Jerry Brady stated that he lives in the area and was not prepared to give comments
as he had only recently learned of the proposed project. Mr. Brady stated that he was
in agreement with a prior speaker who expressed concerns over the impacts the
proposed development would have on children walking to school.
APPLICANT RESPONSE
Mr. Allison stated that the proposed homes would be market-rate and should have a
positive impact on property values in the area since new housing tends to “help all
boats float higher”. Mr. Allison stated that the proposal did not involve subsidized or
Section 8 housing and reiterated that it is market-rate. Mr. Allison stated that no
sidewalk currently exists on 13th Avenue adjacent to the site and that the proposed
development would include a new sidewalk, which would create a safer environment
for anyone walking on 13th Avenue, including children walking to school. Mr. Allison
stated that the purpose of the Traffic Impact Statement was to look at traffic volumes,

not geometrics, and that the actual design would be evaluated during the site plan
review process. Mr. Allison stated that the City’s Street Transportation Department
would review the development to ensure that it is designed properly, noting that they
had gone through several iterations before coming to a conclusion on what the cul-de-
sac would look like. Mr. Allison stated that the Street Transportation Department
requires that the cul-de-sac be completed with the geometry shown, noting that the
streets within the development will be private. Mr. Allison stated that the proposed lot
yield at 19 lots is below the density allowed in the R-2 zoning district and is less
dense than the neighborhoods to the north and east of the site. Mr. Allison stated they
are looking to build an appropriate infill development without overbuilding the site or
creating an unsafe condition while being in alignment with the City’s Housing Policy.
Mr. Allison stated that the proposed development would be comparable to that
located to the north and east of the site. Mr. Allison stated that each home could be
either sold or rented but it is not a build-to-rent community. Mr. Allison stated that
each home would be sited on its own lot as opposed to build-to-rent, which has many
homes on a single lot. Mr. Allison stated that they were amenable to exploring ideas
on how to make the connection from the subject site to the adjacent neighborhood
safer and gave the suggestion of placing stop signs where the internal streets
intersect with the Michigan Avenue cul-de-sac and placing speed humps within the
development to slow traffic down. Mr. Allison stated there was a “Dead End” sign on
Michigan Avenue and that he did not believe that the sign should come down as a
result of the proposed development since it is a private community and people should
not be trying to access 13th Avenue through the site. Mr. Allison also stated that
“Private Street” signs could be posed within the development.
COMMITTEE DISCUSSION
Committee Member Romero asked if the applicant had closed escrow on the
property. Mr. Allison stated that he believed the owners closed escrow in July.
Committee Member Romero asked if there was ever any consideration towards
making the development a gated community since the proposal already involves
private streets. Mr. Allison stated that it was never part of the discussion but stated
that they looked at gating the cul-de-sac but found that it was not possible due to
there not being enough room to accommodate vehicular turnaround at each gate.
Committee Member Clark asked what the reason was for the private streets and that
communities with private streets are usually gated. Committee Member Clark asked
how the City would allow private streets that are not gated. Mr. Allison stated that the
development was always envisioned as having private streets and that he represents
more communities with private streets that are not gated than communities with
private streets that are gated.
Committee Member Clark stated that it was his understanding that the property
located at 11th Avenue and Union Hills Drive was entirely rentals and asked if they
were sold to private investors who turned them into rentals or if they were held by the
builder. Mr. Allison stated that they are currently held by the builder and have not
been sold to investors. Committee Member Clark asked if it was the builder’s intent to

develop the property located at 11th Avenue and Union Hills Drive as a rental
community. Mr. Allison stated that it was constructed to either be rented or sold but
was not intended to be a build-to-rent community. Mr. Allison stated that there is
nothing that the City can do to mandate whether a platted lot is sold or rented. Chair
Lopez-Biggs asked for clarification that the applicant also developed the property
located at 11th Avenue and Union Hills Drive and owns all 13 units in that
development and rents them out through his corporation. Mr. Allison stated that was
correct. Chair Lopez-Biggs asked for further clarification that it was not the
developer’s intention to place the 19 units of the subject site into his corporate rental
portfolio. Mr. Allison responded that he did not say that and that he will not say that.
Chair Lopez-Biggs stated that was part of the concern expressed by the community
member in that it is uncertain whether these homes will be constructed for sale or to
rent out. Mr. Allison stated that like the community at 11th Avenue and Union Hills
Drive, these units could be sold or rented, and that the units at 11th Avenue and
Union Hills Drive are currently rented out. Mr. Allison stated that as platted lots, they
can be sold. Vice Chair Herber stated there is uncertainty as to whether these units
would be sold or rented and there did not seem to be any disclosure on the matter.
Mr. Allison stated that historically, the applicant has rented the units out for a couple
years then sold them. Vice Chair Herber stated that response did not address the
question. Committee Member Clark stated that if the units were marketed for sale
and at the same time marketed for rent, it is easier to find a renter than a buyer due to
interest rates and by default it becomes a for-rent community. Chair Lopez-Biggs
asked if there would be a Homeowners’ Association that will govern these 19 units.
Mr. Allison stated there would have to be since there are private streets and other
infrastructure that would be held by the community. Chair Lopez-Biggs stated that the
Homeowners’ Association would be controlled by the property owner, which would be
a single individual person. Mr. Allison stated that when a large subdivision goes in,
the Homeowners’ Association is typically controlled by the developer until enough
units are sold and the developer hands control to the homeowners. Chair Lopez-
Biggs stated that if the developer chooses to sell only four of the 19 units, there would
not be enough units sold for community control of the Homeowners’ Association,
which means that the developer controls the Homeowners’ Association and its
associated rules and regulations. Mr. Allison asked what the problem is if the
developer maintains the community through the Homeowners’ Association for a
period of time. Vice Chair Herber stated that it was because control would not be in
the hands of the community. Chair Lopez-Biggs stated that the concern was not the
length of time but who has control five or ten years later and that typically it is the
intention of the developer to sell the homes, whereas it seems the intention of this
developer is to hold on to the homes as part of their portfolio, which is invoking
concerns with some of the residents as to what type of neighbors they would have in
their community. Chair Lopez-Biggs stated that if the homes are for sale, anyone can
move in, but if they are for rent, while it could be stated that they are not for low-
income housing, the neighbors have no clue as to who is moving into their
community. Chair Lopez-Biggs stated that the developer could rent to anyone they
wish at any price-point they wish. Mr. Allison asked why the developer would rent to
a tenant at a rate that is allowing some element into the neighborhood that would be
different than if they were buying the home. Mr. Allison stated that if the homes are to

be rented, they would be rented at market-rate, not at below-market-rate. Vice Chair
Herber stated that Mr. Allison was not responding to their concerns. Vice Chair
Herber stated that the concerns were simply that the neighbors in the area do not
want a bunch of rentals in the area and that based on history, it is very likely they will
be rentals. Vice Chair Herber stated if the developer were to state that rentals are not
allowed, that might change the flavor of the discussion, and that Mr. Allison is dancing
around the question. Mr. Allison stated that the City Council has no ability to dictate
who may or may not live in the community.
Committee Member Sandra Hoffman stated that the property to the east is R-3
zoning with a density that is at least that of the proposed development and that she
does not know if they are rentals or not. Committee Member Hoffman stated that the
General Plan anticipates 3.5 to 5 dwelling units per acre and that the development is
a quality development that is done well, it does not factor into the decision over
entitlement whether it is for sale or for rent. Committee Member Hoffman suggested
that the committee not disparage people who rent, especially when it is the state of
the economy that creates that situation. Committee Member Hoffman stated that she
believed the proposed development is a quality development and that if there is a
demand to purchase and people can afford it then great, and that people sometimes
rent homes for decades. Committee Member Hoffman stated that it appeared to be a
quality development that is similar to that of the north and to the east and that she
was supportive of the request.
Committee Member Gerrald Adams stated that he had read the letters that were
included with the packet and that the concern seemed to be associated with the
configuration of the cul-de-sac and that the committee was getting distracted from that
issue with all of the discussion regarding whether the development would be for sale
or for rent.
Committee Member Leon Thomas stated that he did not see any value added for
the community members that already live there other than the potential for a sidewalk.
Committee Member Thomas asked what type of community outreach had been done
up to this point and that it seemed that the development is being forced onto the
neighbors. Committee Member Thomas summarized the concerns as decreased
access for children to play, pedestrian safety concerns, and the cul-de-sac’s proximity
to an existing residence. Mr. Allison stated that they had mailed two letters to the
surrounding property owners and registered neighborhood associations as is required
by the City, they held a neighborhood meeting late last year, and recently held a
virtual meeting with Ms. Sisk. Mr. Allison stated that Ms. Sisk had copied him on all of
the emails that she sent to Mr. Kuhfuss. Committee Member Thomas asked what
adjustments had been done based on the input received. Mr. Allison stated that those
who attended the neighborhood meeting had only asked about the proposed
development and that there was nothing to respond to as a result of that meeting. Mr.
Allison stated that he only learned of the opposition when Ms. Sisk contacted him
regarding the cul-de-sac and that he would look at possible mitigations that had been
discussed previously.

Meeting Summary
Z-190-25-3
Committee Member Clark stated that he had completed a number of real estate
transactions involving build-to-rent properties, and that it was common that such
communities are gated and the intention is disclosed up front. Committee Member
Clark stated that if the units were owner-occupied, they would take care of their
properties, hold block parties, etc. and that would not occur in a rental community.
Committee Member Clark stated that it was a bit of a shell-game in that it is kind of
like a rental project and kind of like an owner-occupied project, and that it was not
good for the community.
Chair Lopez-Biggs stated that he agreed but that he is not against the project and
that as a for-sale property, it is great as it creates more housing opportunities. Chair
Lopez-Biggs summarized the concerns as while the developer has the option to sell
or rent, the track record states the latter will occur. Chair Lopez-Biggs stated that he
understood the community’s concerns over property values and added that rental
properties do not affect property values. Chair Lopez-biggs stated that he appreciates
the addition of the speed bumps and stop signs and that the situation with the cul-de-
sac needs to be corrected regardless of whether the project gets built or not. Chair
Lopez-Biggs stated that he is in support of the project but has an issue with the way
the developer is going about it and wants to see clarity on that particular topic. Chair
Lopez-Biggs stated that if the development is going to be built then sold, then do so
and asked if it was to be rented out why not have multiple residences on a single lot.
Mr. Allison stated that the developer tends to rent out the property for a year or two
then sells it and that he did not know how he could be clearer on that topic. Chair
Lopez-Biggs asked when the other property was constructed. Mr. Allison stated it was
built over the last year.
Committee Member James Sutphen stated that he did not know how the committee
got off track regarding 11th Avenue and Union Hills Drive and stated there were a
number of undeveloped properties in the area. Committee Member Sutphen stated
that while he appreciated the neighbor’s concerns, Michigan Avenue is posted as a
dead-end. Committee Member Sutphen stated that having the cul-de-sac built out will
widen up that area making it easier to get in and out.
