Development) to allow single-family residential (attached and detached) and golf
course uses. The proposed PUD will redevelop a golf course and support new
residential uses adjacent to three arterial streets (Southern Avenue, 59th Avenue,
and Baseline Road). The site currently consists of vacant land, formerly used as a
golf course.

SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING
2. The area located on the
northeast corner of the subject
site is common area, a private
street and vacant land zoned
R1-8 (Single-Family Residence
District) and GC (Golf Course
District). Additionally, a property
with vacant structures is located
on the northwest corner of the
subject site and is zoned GC
(Golf Course District).

The area to the north, across
Southern Avenue, is a single-
family residential subdivision
zoned R1-8 (Single-Family
Residence District).

To the east, across 55th Avenue,
is a single-family residential
subdivision zoned R1-8.

A single-family residential
subdivision is located south and
east of the subject property
zoned S-1 (Approved R1-6)
(Ranch or Farm Residence,
Approved Single-Family
Residence District). A church is
proposed on the vacant land at Existing Zoning Aerial Map

the southwest corner of the site
zoned C-1 (Neighborhood
Commercial).

To the south, across Baseline Road, are numerous commercial and restaurant
uses, and an SRP substation zoned S-1 (Approved C-2) (Ranch or Farm
Residence, Approved Intermediate Commercial) and S-1 (Approved R-3) (Ranch
or Farm Residence, Approved Multifamily Residence District).

Numerous commercial and residential uses are proposed to the west, across the
59th Avenue alignment, zoned S-1 (Approved R-3A) (Ranch or Farm Residence,

Approved Multifamily Residence District), S-1 (Approved R1-8) (Ranch or Farm
Residence, Approved Single-Family Residence District), and PUD (Planned Unit
Development).

GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION
3. The subject site is largely designated as Parks/Open Space – Privately Owned.
There are a few outlier areas located adjacent to the single-family subdivision that
are designated Residential 3.5 to 5 dwelling units per acre.

North of the subject site, across Southern Avenue, is designated as Residential
3.5 to 5 dwelling units per acre. The properties located on the northeast corner
and the northwest corner, south of Southern Avenue, are designated Parks/Open
Space – Privately Owned.

The properties to the east, across 55th Avenue, are designated Residential 3.5 to
5 dwelling units per acre and Residential 5 to 10 dwelling units per acre. The area
located to the southeast of the subject site is designated Residential 3.5 to 5
dwelling units per acre.

South of Baseline Road is designated Residential 10 to 15 dwelling units per
acre. The proposed church location, located southwest of the subject site, is
designated Parks/Open Space – Privately Owned.

To the west, across the 59th Avenue alignment, is designated Residential 3.5 to 5
dwelling units per acre, Residential 10 to 15 dwelling units, Residential 15+
dwelling units per acre, and Commercial.

A concurrent minor General Plan Land Use Map amendment case, GPA-LV-1-24-
8, is proposed to change the land use map designation to Residential 3.5 to 5
dwelling units per acre, Residential 5 to 10 dwelling units per acre, and
Parks/Open Space – Privately Owned. The requested PUD zoning is consistent
with the proposed General Plan Land Use Map designations.

PROPOSAL
4. 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

Staff Report: Z-25-24-8
August 5, 2024

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.

5. Below is a summary of the proposed standards for the subject site as described
in the attached PUD Development Narrative date stamped July 24, 2024. The
proposed standards were designed to allow single-family detached, single-family
attached, and golf course uses that would generate housing and a community
asset within the Laveen Village.

Conceptual Development Plan and Permitted Uses
The PUD proposes a regulatory framework structured around the creation of
splitting the subject site into five development units. Development Unit A is
located on the south portion of the subject site, along Baseline Road.

Several of the PUD standards exceed the Zoning Ordinance standards, such as
open space and landscape buffers. The proposed PUD allows for a maximum
number of 415 residential units.

Members of the community expressed concern with the timing of how the golf
course and single-family residences would develop, sharing a desire for the golf
course to be built in conjunction with the residential uses. Staff recommends
Stipulation No. 2 which would require the Certificate of Completion for the golf
course grading and drainage and the Certificate of Completion or sign off by the
site inspector verifying the landscape improvements prior to the Certificate of
Occupancy for any single-family residences.
Staff Report: Z-25-24-8
August 5, 2024

Landscape Standards
The PUD narrative proposes numerous landscaping enhancements that include
landscaping buffers, shading along most public sidewalks, and enhanced planting
standards that exceed the Zoning Ordinance. The landscaping will provide for a
pedestrian-friendly environment with 75 percent shade on Southern Avenue and
Baseline Road, exceeding the minimum requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
Furthermore, all landscape setbacks and buffers will have larger caliper trees
including two-inch, one and a half inch, and one inch tree sizes.

Staff recommends the following modifications to the PUD Narrative which
updates landscaping along the streetscape:

• Stipulation No. 1.g. will add planting standards for the landscape strip
located between back of curb and sidewalk along 59th Avenue.
• Stipulation No. 1.k. will add planting standards for the landscape strip
located between the back of curb and sidewalk along Southern Avenue.
• Stipulation No. 1.l. will add planting standards for the landscape strip
located between back of curb and sidewalk along Baseline Road.

Parking Standards
The PUD proposes to comply with the Zoning Ordinance minimum parking
standards per Section 702.

The PUD also requires bicycle parking within all development units. Development
units A through D are required to provide 1 bicycle parking space per every 10
units. Development Unit E requires 1 bicycle parking space for every three golf
course holes. Bicycle parking shall be provided within common areas and through
inverted U or artistic racks.

The PUD Narrative also includes a requirement for EV parking within
Development Unit E. A minimum of four EV parking stalls shall be provided at the
clubhouse that would serve the future golf course.

Recommended updates to the PUD Narrative:
• Stipulation No. 1.d, 1.m. and 1.o. clarifies the electric vehicle parking stalls
shall have installed infrastructure requirement language.

Design Guidelines
The PUD Narrative proposes numerous architectural styles including craftsman
bungalow, contemporary, ranch, traditional southwest, luxury townhomes, and
townhome villas. Each architectural style proposes a list of features that include
pitched roofs, hand-crafted stone, faux stone, barrel tile roofs, arches, patios, and
oversized windows. The design guidelines section does not have a minimum
number of primary or accent materials. As a result, staff recommends Stipulation
No. 3 to require all residential elevations to be reviewed by the Planning Hearing
Officer through the public hearing process. The residential elevations must have a
minimum of three architectural embellishments, a minimum of three accent
Staff Report: Z-25-24-8
August 5, 2024

materials, 25 percent of the building frontage must have accent materials, and
garage doors must have design embellishments. This is addressed in Stipulation
No. 3.

Fences/Walls
The proposed development will include secure perimeter walls for all new
residential development, as well as perimeter fencing for the golf course in order
to protect the privacy of existing and future residents.

Theme perimeter walls will be located along the perimeter of the subject site,
except along the east and southeast corner. Perimeter theme wall requirements
include CMU block in dark auburn color with decorative stone veneer theme
columns and a concrete cap. Full view fencing will be provided along
Development Unit A, clubhouse entry, and between the existing split view fencing
along the east perimeter. Full view fencing requirements include 75 percent view
fencing, steel tubular fencing, stone veneer columns, and concrete caps. Finally,
partial view fencing is proposed within the proposed development, facing the
future redeveloped golf course. Partial view fencing requires a minimum of 50
percent view fencing, dark auburn CMU block, tubular steel, and stone veneer
columns.

Shade
The Development Narrative includes a range from 50 to 75 percent shade cover
to be provided over public sidewalks, depending on the area. The required shade
standards along many of the public sidewalks exceed the Zoning Ordinance
requirements.

Staff recommends updates to the shade provisions when adjacent to public
streets to clarify that shading requirements might change depending on the SRP
easement. These updates are addressed in the Streetscape Standards section of
the PUD Narrative (Stipulation No. 1.h.).

Signage
This section of the PUD Narrative includes provisions for on-premise signage and
new residential monumentation. This site is not eligible for off-premise signs. The
site is not within 300 feet of a freeway.

Existing and entry monumentation is proposed within development units A, B, C,
and D. A maximum of two signs are permitted at each entrance of the residential
subdivision and will have a maximum height of five feet. Existing golf course
signage, located along Baseline Road and Southern Avenue, will be revitalized to
match the new design standards found in the PUD Narrative. A maximum of two
signs are permitted at each driveway and will be a maximum of eight feet in
height.

Staff Report: Z-25-24-8
August 5, 2024

Sustainability
The Development Narrative proposes several options to incorporate sustainability
principals. Below is a highlight of some of the options:

• EV parking provided at the clubhouse for the golf course.
• Smart irrigation controllers shall be utilized within development units A
through D and future golf course.
• Pressure regulating sprinkler heads to reduce water waste.
• Two green infrastructure techniques.
• Utilizing Low-Water-Use/Drought-Tolerant Plant List within single-family
developments and within the golf course area.
• A minimum of 50 percent of residential driveways shall provide permeable
surfaces.

AREA PLANS, OVERLAY DISTRICT, AND INITIATIVES
6. Laveen Southwest Growth
Study
The site is located within the
boundaries of the Laveen
Southwest Growth Study, which
was developed in 1997 to
analyze the existing conditions of
the Laveen Village and provide a
land use and design planning
framework to help shape the
growth that Laveen was starting
to experience, while accounting
for newly annexed farmland as
well as the future development of
the South Mountain Freeway
Loop, which has since been
completed. This plan designates
the project site as Parks/Open
Space.

The majority of the subject site is
consistent with the Laveen
Southwest Growth Study Land
Use Map designation. The
proposed residential
designations, although not
consistent with the designation,
will provide a mix of housing
opportunities within the Laveen Laveen Southwest Growth Study Land Use Map
Source: Planning and Development Department
Village that is consistent with the
surrounding land uses.

Staff Report: Z-25-24-8
August 5, 2024

The Laveen Southwest Growth Study also outlines specific design policies and
standards for various types of development that will enhance Laveen’s built
environment while remaining respectful of its agricultural heritage. The study
encourages all new development to use durable, high quality building materials
and to provide enhanced building design that will contribute to the character of
the area. As stipulated, the Development Narrative proposes a variety of building
materials on future buildings with a focus on maintaining the character of the
area.

7. Housing Phoenix Plan
In June 2020, the Phoenix City Council approved the Housing Phoenix Plan. This
Plan contains policy initiatives for the development and preservation of housing
with vision of creating a stronger and more vibrant Phoenix through increased
housing options for residents at all income levels and family sizes. Phoenix’s
rapid population growth and housing underproduction has led to a need for over
163,000 new housing units. Current shortages of housing supply relative to
demand are a primary reason why housing costs are increasing.
The proposed development supports the Plan’s goal of preserving or creating
50,000 housing units by 2030 by contributing to a variety housing types that will
address the supply shortage at a more rapid pace while using underutilized land
in a more sustainable fashion.

8. Complete Streets Guiding Principles
In 2014, the Phoenix City Council adopted the Complete Streets Guiding
Principles. The principles are intended to promote improvements that provide an
accessible, safe, and connected transportation system to include all modes, such
as bicycles, pedestrians, transit, and vehicles. The PUD proposed several
provisions that are consistent with Complete Streets Guiding Principles including
detached sidewalks along street frontages to promote a safe pedestrian
atmosphere. Additionally, a Complete Streets section is included in the narrative
which includes bicycle lanes along 59th Avenue and Southern Avenue, street
design which will allow for multi-modal mobility, and design techniques to reduce
direct sunlight exposure to pedestrians and cyclists.

Staff recommends the following modifications to the PUD Narrative to enhance
the streetscape standards:

• Stipulation No. 1.e. clarifies that all street improvements along 59th
Avenue will include outparcel APN: 104-80-523A.
• Stipulation No. 1.f. increases the minimum sidewalk width to 6 feet along
59th Avenue.
• Stipulation No. 1.g. adds planting standards for the landscape strip located
between back of curb and sidewalk along 59th Avenue.
• Stipulation No. 1.h. clarifies that street improvements along 59th Avenue
are subject to the approval of SRP.
• Stipulation No. 1.i. clarifies that all street improvements along Southern

Staff Report: Z-25-24-8
August 5, 2024

Avenue include outparcels APN: 104-80-523A and APN: 104-80-004C.
• Stipulation No. 1.j. increases the minimum sidewalk width to 6 feet.
• Stipulation No. 1.k. adds planting standards for the landscape strip located
between the back of curb and sidewalk along Southern Avenue.
• Stipulation No. 1.l. will add planting standards for the landscape strip
located between back of curb and sidewalk along Baseline Road.

9. 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. The Development Narrative contains
requirements for electrical vehicle parking at the golf course clubhouse.

10. Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan
The City of Phoenix adopted the Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan in 2014 to
guide the development of its bikeway system and supportive infrastructure. The
Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan supports options for both short- and long-
term bicycle parking as a means of promoting bicyclist traffic to a variety of
Destinations. The Development Narrative includes bicycle parking provisions in
all development units.

11. Tree and Shade Master Plan
The Tree and Shade Master Plan has a goal of treating the urban forest as
infrastructure to ensure that trees are an integral part of the city’s planning and
development process. In addition, a vision in the master plan is to raise
awareness by leading by example. The Development Narrative requires a range
of shade on all adjacent public sidewalks, in addition to larger tree sizes within the
landscape areas between the back of curb and sidewalk. These standards
exceed the minimum Zoning Ordinance requirements.

12. Monarch Butterfly
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. To support the monarch butterfly
Staff Report: Z-25-24-8
August 5, 2024

population, the PUD narrative addresses the planting of milkweed shrubs, or
other native nectar plant species, on the subject site.

13. Conservation Measures for New Development
In June 2023, the Phoenix City Council adopted the Conservation Measures for
New Development policy as part of a resolution addressing the future water
consumption of new development (Resolution 22129). This resolution addresses
the future water consumption of new development to support one of the City’s
Five Core Values in the General Plan which calls for Phoenix to - Build the
Sustainable Desert City. The Conservation Measures for New Development
policy includes direction to develop standards for consideration as stipulations for
all rezoning cases that will address best practices related to water usage in nine
specific categories. The PUD Narrative has numerous conservation measures for
the proposed residential and golf course uses. The proposed single-family
residential development and golf course will utilize the Phoenix Active
Management Area Low-Water-Use/Drought-Tolerant Plant List for vegetation,
smart irrigation controllers, and pressure regulating sprinkler heads to reduce
water waste.

14. Phoenix Climate Action Plan
In October 2021, the Phoenix City Council approved the Climate Action Plan. The
Climate Action Plan will serve as a long-term plan to achieve greenhouse gas
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 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 the Sustainability portion of the PUD
Narrative. A minimum of two green infrastructure techniques for stormwater
managements shall be implemented in the future golf course and single-family
residential development.

15. Zero Waste PHX
The City of Phoenix is committed to its waste diversion efforts and has set a goal
to become a zero-waste city, as part of the City’s overall 2050 Environmental
Sustainability Goals. One of the ways Phoenix can achieve this is to improve and
expand its recycling and other waste diversion programs. Section 716 of the
Phoenix Zoning Ordinance establishes standards to encourage the provision of
recycling containers for multifamily, commercial, and mixed-use developments
meeting certain criteria. The PUD narrative does not address trash and recycling
receptacles on site. However, the City provides recycling service to single-family
residential developments.

COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY
16. As of the writing of this report, staff has receive three letters of opposition to this
Staff Report: Z-25-24-8

18. The City of Phoenix Aviation Department has reviewed the proposal and
indicated that a portion of the site is within the airport disclosure area. The
Aviation Department requests that the property owner record documents that
disclose the existence and operations of the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport to any
future owners or tenants. This is addressed Stipulation No. 15.

19. 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
Staff Report: Z-25-24-8
August 5, 2024

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 Stipulations No. 16 through 18.

20. 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. 19.

21. Development and use of the site is subject to all applicable codes and
ordinances. Zoning approval does not negate other ordinance requirements such
as obtaining a use permit to conduct the proposed outdoor use in this zoning
district. Other formal actions such as, but not limited to, zoning adjustments and
abandonments, may be required.

Findings

1. The proposal is compatible with the existing land use pattern and is consistent
with the proposed General Plan Land Use Map designations.

2. The proposal contains enhanced standards that will result in a more walkable,
shaded and pedestrian-friendly environment. The proposal will provide increased
shade which will help to reduce the urban heat island effect.

3. The proposal will revitalize a golf course that will be an asset to the village and
provide additional housing opportunities within the area.

To: hayes@wmbattorneys.com; Nayeli Sanchez Luna
Subject: Laveen 140, LLC

To whom it may concern:

I am a resident at 6306 S 54th Lane, my wife and I purchased the home in February of 2023. Please, understand that I am
not opposed to someone purchasing the old course and revitalizing the area as we want the community to develop and
grow. My issue is that when reviewing the plan, our home and 21 others are the only ones effected with homes directly
behind us and the loss of our golf course view (see pdf, yellow effected – blue still have a view of the course). We lose
our golf course view and depending on the size of the new homes, we could lose our mountain view. This is
unacceptable to me, as I mentioned previously I am not opposed to growth and making things better but I do not want
my views to change. When we bought our home we were told no homes would be built and now within a year, we are
effected. I would vote 100% in favor if I still had my golf course view but to be one of only 22 homes effected I am not
for it. There should be other plans on how to keep everyone with their views, 20 Holes – adjust and make 27 holes.
Make a Par 3 course or a practice range. There has to be a way to not effect a small group.

I am not able to attend this evening but if I was, I would be opposed to this plan – I am asking to look at all options and
see how everyone that has a golf course view – can remain on the course.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call me on my cell, 630.327.7574.

Thank you,

Dear Laveen Planning,
My family is a 20+ year resident of Cottonfields Golf Course. We are not happy with how Laveen 140 has been
conduction business concerning our neighborhood. The last meeting they did not send out notices to the neighboring
community, Cottonfields, that backs up to the golf course and will be affected by a new road and housing units. Notices
should be sent to all residents in the surrounding communities. Several of my neighbors have also had complaints about
how they are conducting the new zoning. I do not want a new road behind my house. I am now buffered from the
outside by homes in the adjacent Cottonfields Community. In addition, Laveen 140 has not kept up the current golf
course and clubhouse. There is weeds and trash throughout the golf course. Our HOA board has not taken a vote to
satisfy the homeowners of the golf course. Laveen 140 taken signatures of residents that include renters. I hope that
the Laveen planning and council will require that Laveen 140 has an actual vote from the community before proceeding
with any zoning changes to satisfy our legally binding REMA agreement.
Thank you,
Patrice Herring

Hello, my name is Erica and I live in Cottonfields Ranch at 5532 W Minton Ave, Laveen Arizona 85339. I am unable
to attend the next village meeting but I want to offer my support to make this project happen. I have seen many
things that are not well in our community, the golf course has been neglected, homeless persons at night, dirt
bikes driving on the golf course at night, etc. For this reason, I support this zone change for our community.

Nine members of the public registered to speak on this item.

Applicant Presentation:

Alex Hayes, representing the applicant with Withey Morris Baugh, began the
presentation by displaying the location and acreage of the site. Mr. Hayes summarized
the history of the site, noting the decline of the golf course. Mr. Hayes added that the
golf course was recently purchased and that the new owns were willing to revitalize the
site. Mr. Hayes summarized the public outreach conducted including numerous
meetings with the community, surveys, and engagement with stakeholders. Mr. Hayes
displayed the proposed development and noted the different types of single-family
housing and proposed golf course. Mr. Hayes added that each residential development
would be gated in order to ensure safety throughout the community. Mr. Hayes
concluded the presentation by listing the permitted uses, added that multifamily and
condos would be prohibited, and noting that the PUD would have a phasing plan for the
golf course.

Questions From the Committee:

Francisco Barraza voiced his support for revitalizing the golf course.

JoAnne Jensen stated that she her surprise regarding the contingency amount the
HOAs and the residents. Ms. Jensen asked how the applicant was able to get the
consensus of the majority of the residents. Mr. Hayes stated that it took a lot of time
and listening. Mr. Hayes added that the original proposal consisted of solely single-
family residential houses, but that proposal was not supported by the community. Mr.
Hayes noted the numerous meetings that were held and stated that the community

agreed to the compromise of a golf course and single-family residential. Ms. Jensen
added that she hoped that the golf course would be built as promised by the applicant.

Jennifer Rouse agreed with JoAnne Jensen. Ms. Rouse stated that she was worried
that the houses would be built but the golf course would never be restored. Ms. Rouse
noted the distrust and hesitation from the community and added that she looked forward
to hearing from the community and their concerns. Ms. Rouse added that the
community and the committee would be following the proposal closely.

Carlos Ortega asked about the golf course affordability. Mr. Hayes noted that
surrounding residents would be able to attend the golf course for free three times a year
and receive a 10% discount. Mr. Ortega asked if the HOA fees of the surrounding
residents would increase with the development of the golf course. Mr. Hayes stated that
each proposed development within the PUD would have its own HOA to support the
cost of the golf course. Mr. Ortega asked if the golf course would have a private
section. Mr. Hayes stated that that hasn’t been part of the discussion.

Vice Chair Stephanie Hurd noted the importance of protecting the community and
stated that the applicant seemed to have done its due diligence. Vice Chair Hurd added
that if the community supported the proposal, then the committee would support it as
well.

Chair Linda Abegg agreed with the stated comments and added that she wanted to
add language to ensure that the development of the golf course would be required.
Chair Abegg listed possible stipulations including general conformance to a site plan for
the proposed golf course.

Public Comment:

Karen Adams stated that the proposed development was the only viable solution. Ms.
Adams added that she did not want the HOA fees to increase, nor did she agree to
apartments. Ms. Adams noted that she would like the golf course to be built prior to any
housing. Ms. Adams summarized events held by the previous golf course and voiced
her support for revitalizing the community amenity.

Warren Foster noted that there were already too many houses and rental properties in
the area. Mr. Foster stated that the single-family development located on 51st Avenue
and Southern Avenue had turned into primarily rental properties. Mr. Foster asked how
many years it would take for the development to be completed and that he did not want
residents having to deal with noise and dust from construction. Mr. Foster asked if the
development was going to allow apartments. Mr. Hayes indicated that multifamily and
condos were prohibited.

Denise Suchy stated that the applicant glossed over the required vote required by the
HOAs. Ms. Suchy noted that the applicant has not done extensive outreach to the
surrounding communities. Ms. Suchy added that there was a lawsuit against the

previous golf course owners for not maintaining the land. Ms. Suchy stated that the
proposal did not have enough parking for the proposed golf course.

Kim Brunner voiced his support for the proposal. Mr. Brunner noted that it was the best
opportunity that has been presented in over 20 years and appreciated that a portion of
the site was going to remain golf course. Mr. Brunner noted that the community has
been very informed and that this would be the first development where the developers
invited the community to work together on creating the proposal.

Cheryl Watnier noted that the applicant has worked with the residents within the
Cottonfields development. Ms. Watnier noted that the applicant hosted neighborhood
meetings and asked residents to attend to voice their concerns. Ms. Watnier added that
the applicant has made compromise after compromise and that they sent out surveys to
further gather comments. Ms. Watnier disagreed with Denise Suchy’s comments
regarding the lack of communication.

Jon Kimoto voiced his support for the proposed development. Mr. Kimoto noted the
success of the golf course 20 to 30 ago. Mr. Kimoto added that it was in the
community’s hand to ensure success and that the applicant has worked with the
community by reducing the number of units. Mr. Kimoto supported the proposal.

Patrice Herring stated that she was opposed to the proposed development. Ms.
Herring voiced her distrust for the applicant and noted that she bought her residence for
the open space that is provided by the existing golf course area. Ms. Herring mentioned
the HOA vote and noted that the vote is not valid because the meeting didn’t have all
board members. Ms. Herring added that the applicant would sell the property as soon
as they rezone the site. Ms. Herring stated that the applicant has hired a third party to
contact all residents of the HOA to sign for the vote. Ms. Herring noted that she has
been contacted numerous times. Ms. Herring added that the applicant must return to
the HOA for a valid vote.

Melanie Hagen voiced her support for the proposal. Ms. Hagen noted that during the
first public meeting, she was completely against the proposal; however, the applicant
has since listened to the community and modified the proposal. Ms. Hagen noted that
they golf course would be revitalized, and the gated communities will increase security.
Ms. Hagen stated that the applicant has hired a third party to verify the HOA vote and it
was individuals who did not participate or attend the public meetings who were opposed
to the project.

Phil Hertel, representing the Laveen Citizens for Responsible Development (LCRD),
noted that they applicant had previously presented at one of the meetings. Mr. Hertel
added that people might have been misinformed regarding the HOA vote. Mr. Hertel
noted that the Laveen VPC meeting had a lot of missing information presented at the
LCRD meeting. Mr. Hertel requested the applicant to provide conceptual elevations and
site plans and reiterated that the proposal would be great for the community.

Laveen VPC. Chair Abegg added that she would like to add certain stipulations
including general conformance to the golf course site plan, elevations, and site plan.

that the golf course is built prior to any housing development.

Ms. Perrera requested more information on the number of parking spaces.

Mr. Ortega requested a stipulation that would require that a minimum of 75% of the
individuals to own the residential property to prevent rental properties. Mr. Ortega noted
that he would like to see strong CC&R conditions to help prevent rental properties. Vice
Chair Hurd noted that she had lived in an HOA that had a condition where for the first
year the property owner could not rent the house. Chair Hurd asked for more
information on how the developer would maintain the land.

Applicant Response:

Alex Hayes noted that the consent forms required for the HOA vote were confirmed by
the firm. Mr. Hayes stated that renters were unable to sign the consent form. Mr. Hayes
noted that each HOA would have a property manager to ensure maintenance. Mr.
Hayes added that the applicant’s intent is not to sell the property and that multifamily
was not proposed. Mr. Hayes noted that the golf course is intended to be completed by
late next year and that they had no issues with language requiring general conformance
to a site plan or elevations. Mr. Hayes stated that the narrative had detailed design
guidelines that would guide elevations and that he agreed to language requiring the golf
course to be completed prior to housing. Mr. Hayes added that if any of the surrounding
residents had any complaints regarding weeds or trash to contact the property owners
so it could be addressed.

Committee Discussion:

Ms. Jensen stated that the applicant should not overlook conditions in CC&Rs to
limit the number of rental properties.

Mr. Ortega noted that he had owned a condo with similar CC&Rs.

Applicant Presentation:

Adam Baugh, representing the applicant with Withey Morris Baugh, provided an
overview of the proposed cases. Mr. Baugh stated that he has been working with the
neighborhood for over two years and that his team had finally achieved the number of
signatures required to modify the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) of
the adjacent subdivision, Cottonfields Community. Mr. Baugh added that the
modifications to the CC&Rs would allow for the rezoning of the site and for the
redevelopment of the golf course. Mr. Baugh noted that Stipulation No. 2 would
require the golf course to be revitalize before single-family residences are occupied.
Mr. Baugh displayed the proposed golf course holes and noted the renovations to the
clubhouse and entrance monuments. Mr. Baugh added that multifamily and condos

requested the committee to consider deleting Stipulation No. 11 which would require a
50 percent contribution to a future traffic signal on 59th Avenue and Vineyard Road.
Mr. Baugh stated that the development located on the west side of 59th Avenue was
not required to contribute to the traffic signal. Mr. Baugh noted that the proposed golf
course and single-family development did not generate enough traffic to warrant a
traffic signal and that other future development could assist with the cost. Mr. Baugh
requested the committee to consider deleting Stipulation No. 1.n. which would require
a pedestrian circulation exhibit to be added to the PUD narrative. Mr. Baugh added
that the Cottonfields Community was opposed to pedestrians in their community and
that each proposed development unit would be gated.

Questions From the Committee:

Chair Linda Abegg stated that she had spoken to the Street Transportation
Department regarding the proposed deletions. Chair Abegg noted that the Street
Transportation Department had stated that a traffic signal is required at every mile and
half mile intersection, thus requiring a signal at the intersection of 59th Avenue and
Vineyard Road. Chair Abegg added that the 50 percent contribution was consistent
with the conditional approval of the Traffic Impact Study. Chair Abegg added that
Stipulation No. 1.n. would ensure connectivity for different modes of mobility. Chair
Abegg voiced her support in maintaining both stipulations.

Patrick Nasser-Taylor asked why the three-story multifamily project was removed
from the proposal. Mr. Baugh noted that no one from the community supported the
proposal for high density multifamily on this location. Mr. Nasser-Taylor added that it
was odd that the applicant did not push for multifamily but pushed on another
multifamily project adjacent to the Loop 202 Freeway. Mr. Baugh stated that it was a
different location and a different developer. Mr. Nasser-Taylor asked if there was a
possibility for Development Unit E, which would allow for a golf course, to be
converted or reduced to allow for more single-family residential units. Mr. Baugh
stated that more single-family units would not be supported by the community;
furthermore, discussions with the Cottonfields community and CC&R have indicated
that the boundaries are set. Mr. Baugh added that the density could be reduced but
not increased. Nr. Nasser-Taylor asked for more information regarding Stipulation
No. 2. Mr. Baugh provided an explanation. Mr. Baugh noted that the Certificate of
Occupancy for single-family residential development would not be provided until the
grading and drainage is completed and landscaping is completed. Mr. Nasser-Taylor
asked if the golf course had a developer. Mr. Baugh confirmed and noted that the
property owner has also hired a management company for the golf course.

Carlos Ortega asked for clarification if the single-family attached units would be able
to receive certificate of occupancy before the golf course was completed. Chair
Abegg noted that she had reached out to staff, and they have confirmed that single-
family attached is single-family residential and not multifamily. Mr. Ortega asked if the
existing residents would receive some sort of discount to utilize the golf course. Mr.
Ortega asked if the existing homeowners association fees would increase for the

Cottonfields community. Mr. Baugh noted that this development would cover all the
costs of improvements and that the HOA fees for the adjacent Cottonfields community
would not increase. Mr. Baugh added that the new development would have their own
HOA and their own fees. Mr. Baugh added that there has been some discussion to
allow for a free round of golf a few times a year and discounts for the golf course and
restaurant. Mr. Ortega asked if there would be a possibility to allow for large events.
Mr. Baugh added that the clubhouse could be used for events.

Vice Chair Stephanie Hurd asked if the clubhouse would be modified. Mr. Baugh
clarified that only the exterior of the clubhouse would be remodeled.

Mr. Ortega voiced his concern regarding the single-family attached development. Mr.
Ortega added that if it was possible to amend the PUD to convert the single-family
attached to multifamily and receive certificate of occupancy prior to the golf course
completion. Mr. Baugh stated that any modifications to the allowed uses or density
would require a major amendment. Mr. Baugh added that a major amendment would
be required to go through the entire public hearing process.

Mixen Rubio-Raffin noted that there was not a lot of information on why the original
golf course was abandoned. Ms. Rubio-Raffin asked for more information. Mr. Baugh
stated that he was unsure of the exact reason for the abandonment of the golf course.
Mr. Baugh explained the history of the golf course noting the changes in holes and
maintenance. Mr. Baugh noted the proposed number of holes and renovation of
vegetation. Ms. Rubio-Raffin asked if the new HOAs created through the PUD
process would work with the Cottonfields community. Mr. Baugh noted that they
would work together regarding gates, entry monuments, and maintenance. Ms.
Rubio-Raffin noted that there would be numerous single-family developments and
added that existing connections were no longer available. Mr. Baugh stated that the
existing Cottonfields community has voiced safety concerns regarding the area. Mr.
Baugh added that the Cottonfields community has stated that they do not want
penetration into their community. Mr. Baugh noted that they do not like people walking
through their development and prefer them walking from Southern Avenue to Baseline
Road using public sidewalks. Ms. Rubio-Raffin voiced her disappointment. Ms.
Rubio-Raffin asked how they would entice people to go to the golf course if the
existing community does not want outside individuals. Ms. Rubio-Raffin added that
people would not be able to sample the golf course amenities. Mr. Baugh added that
he has never seen a golf course open to the public.

Francisco Barraza voiced his support for pedestrian circulation. Mr. Barraza added
that it would benefit the community. Mr. Baugh stated that he was willing to support
pedestrian circulation within the proposed development units if it did not include the
Cottonfields community. Mr. Barraza voiced his support for the traffic light on 59th
Avenue and Vineyard Road. Mr. Baugh stated that he didn’t disagree with the need,
but that the contribution percentage was arbitrary, and that the adjacent multifamily
development was not required to contribute. Mr. Baugh added that he did not see the
legal nexus but does recognize the policy requiring a traffic light. Mr. Barraza asked if

an easement was going to be provided on Southern Avenue and 59th Avenue to allow
access into the site. Mr. Baugh stated that an easement was not required.

JoAnne Jensen noted that the community has voiced concerns regarding the lack of
police and fire services in the area. Mr. Baugh stated that he did not understand the
concern. Mr. Baugh added that redeveloping the golf course and new residential
development would increase safety and contribute to impact fees that cover fire and
police services. Ms. Jensen asked about the existing golf course views. Mr. Baugh
noted that if a resident had a golf course view, they would still have a view after the
completion of the new residential developments. Mr. Baugh added that there might be
situations where new paths might be added behind some existing houses, but views
would not be obstructed. Ms. Jensen asked about water usage and conservation. Mr.
Baugh added that there would be less turf and that landscaping would consist of
native desert vegetation. Mr. Baugh noted that some lakes would be redesigned to fix
design flaws that did not maximize water conservation. Ms. Jensen noted that some
golf courses utilize gray water and asked if this golf course would utilize this type of
water source. Mr. Baugh stated that gray water would not be utilized due to the
agreement with SRP.

Jennifer Rouse voiced her concerns regarding the single-family development and
asked if it would be a rental community. Mr. Baugh noted that this would not be a
rental or multifamily community. Ms. Rouse voiced her support for the traffic light on
59th Avenue and Vineyard Road. Ms. Rouse noted that numerous commercial uses
have been proposed as well as a community college that would contribute to the traffic
in the area. Mr. Baugh stated that all those commercial uses would contribute to the
traffic but were not required to contribute. Mr. Baugh reiterated that the percentage
contribution was not proportional to the impact caused by their proposed development.
Ms. Rouse added that she did not support pedestrian circulation within the
development. Ms. Rouse noted that people paid to live here and did not want to see
an increase in vandalism. Ms. Rouse voiced her support to delete the pedestrian
circulation stipulation.

Vice Chair Hurd voiced her support for the traffic signal. Vice Chair Hurd thanked the
applicant for everything they have done and for working with the community. Vice
Chair Hurd thanked Chair Abegg for reviewing the language to ensure that the golf
course is completed prior to the certificate of occupancy of the single-family
development.

Chair Abegg voiced her support for the traffic signal. Chair Abegg noted that they had
reached out to the Street Transportation Department regarding the applicant’s request
to delete the two stipulations. Chair Abegg indicated that traffic signals are constructed
at the mile and half mile intersection. Chair Abegg clarified that 59th Avenue and
Vineyard Road was at the half mile intersection, thus requiring a traffic signal. Chair
Abegg noted that the Street Transportation Department had indicated that 50 percent
contribution was required as a conditional approval of the Traffic Impact Study
provided for this proposal. Chair Abegg added that the Street Transportation

Department has indicated that the multifamily to the south was stipulated to contribute
to the design and construction for the signal on 59th Avenue and Southern Avenue.
Chair Abegg stated that the department has indicated that a pedestrian circulation
exhibit was required to ensure that the transportation network is comfortable for all
modes and abilities. Chair Abegg stated that she saw both sides pertaining to the
pedestrian circulation exhibit. Chair Abegg added that the PUD landscaping
requirements would require 50 percent two-inch, 25 percent 1.5-inch and 25 percent
one-inch caliper size trees. Chair Abegg stated that she would like to modify the
landscape requirement to require 25 percent three-inch caliper trees. Mr. Baugh
noted that the PUD already exceeded what was required by the Zoning Ordinance. Mr.
Baugh requested the landscape architect, Laura Cornell to provide a comment. Laura
Cornell, on the applicant’s team, stated that there was a misconception regarding
caliper tree size. Ms. Cornell stated that the conditions at nurseries influence tree
health. Ms. Cornell noted that the roots are greatly impacted due to growing in a box
that will later be transported to a new location. Ms. Cornell stated that the roots found
in three-inch caliper trees grow too close to the tree trunk, and when transplanted to
the development site, these roots do not expand, causing the tree to either die or fall.
Ms. Cornell added that native vegetation tends to grow naturally into a shrub shape,
where tree branches reach the ground. Ms. Cornell stated that branches act as shade
for the tree, but nurseries cut these branches forcing all the weight to be placed in one
branch. Ms. Cornell added that it was better for trees to be planted in smaller calipers,
so they can grow in their new environment and expand their roots. Ms. Cornell
concluded her comment by adding that multi-trunk trees do not have a standards tree
caliper size and that it varies species by species. Chair Abegg voiced her gratitude for
Laura Cornell’s explanation.

Public Comment:

Phil Hertel noted that he was planning on requesting three-inch caliper trees but will
now remove his request based on Laura Cornell’s information. Mr. Hertel asked if the
golf course would be up and running before the certificate of occupancy for single-
family homes. Mr. Baugh confirmed. Mr. Hertel noted that he supported this case
because of all the work that went into it and supported the stipulation to require the
golf course to be built.

Norma Nelson stated that she had purchased her home 20 years ago and paid a
premium for the golf course views and security. Ms. Nelson added that her property
had a scenic view of the golf course lake. Ms. Nelson said that she was opposed to
pedestrian circulation because she did not want individuals in her backyard. Ms.
Nelson added that people have been wandering the abandoned golf course and she
no longer felt safe. Ms. Nelson noted that she was opposed to removing the lake
because she had paid premium fees for a lake view. Ms. Nelson stated that the
developer had no right to take away her privacy and her amenities. Ms. Nelson
reiterated that pedestrian circulation connecting to the Cottonfields community made
her feel unsafe.

Kristi McCann voiced her concerns regarding the new development. Ms. McCann
asked if the new development would help cover all the costs that Cottonfields had to
pay. Ms. McCann added that the applicant presentation included new monuments and
gate renderings. Ms. McCann asked who would pay the existing Cottonfields HOA for
all the fees to redesign the gates and monuments. Ms. McCann added that the
Cottonfields HOA had funded 360-degree cameras to be located for security and
asked who would be refunding those fees. Ms. McCann stated that the existing
Cottonfields HOA has also replenished vegetation in some areas and asked the new
development refund all the money that they had invested. Ms. McCann voiced her
support for the proposed traffic signal and added that this development would also
contribute to traffic. Ms. McCann suggested adding a stipulation that would address
these concerns and require the new HOAs to pay back all the improvements that
would be removed.

Applicant Response:

Mr. Baugh thanked members of the public for their comments. Mr. Baugh noted that
all proposed streets within the development would be private streets.

Chair Abegg noted that the issues between HOAs such as the fences, gates, and
maintenance, are all private issues not related to the rezoning case. Chair Abegg
requested the applicant to work with the existing Cottonfields HOA regarding these
negotiations. Mr. Baugh agreed.

Mr. Baugh stated that the existing lake would not be modified. Mr. Baugh added that
the lake configuration would not change, and that Norma Nelson would still have her
scenic lake view. Mr. Baugh noted that a private path might be added but her views
would not be obstructed. Mr. Baugh added that the property owner has the right to
renovate their property.

Committee Discussion:

Chair Abegg stated that based on the discussion, the committee is in favor of keeping
the traffic signal stipulation. Chair Abegg asked if the committee agreed to keep the
pedestrian circulation stipulation. Ms. Jensen noted that the community has strongly
voiced their opposition for pedestrian circulation with the existing Cottonfields
community. Ms. Jensen added that it was proper etiquette for people to not cross golf
course areas. Mr. Baugh added that they would support the stipulation if it required
pedestrian circulation within their development but not connecting to the existing
Cottonfields development. Vice Chair Hurd voiced the importance for connectivity.
Ms. Jensen and Ms. Rouse voiced their support for the community concerns. Chair
Abegg provided a modification to the stipulation that would require connectivity
between the new development units and remove connectivity within the Cottonfields
community. Mr. Baugh voiced his support.

Ms. Rubio-Raffin stated that the issues with vandalism might reduce with new

development. Ms. Rubio-Raffin stated that she supported pedestrian connections
because of the desert environment and the dangers of arterial streets. Chair Abegg
noted that the modified stipulation language would require pedestrian circulation
between the new development units and the exterior streets of the existing community.
Ms. Rubio-Raffin added if someone lived closer to Southern Avenue, they would
need those pedestrian connections if they wanted to walk to Baseline Road without
having to go out to the arterial street.

Scott Rose, a member of the public, stated that if they knew pedestrian circulation
would be required the Cottonfield community would have never signed to modify the
existing CC&Rs.

Motion:
Carlos Ortega motioned to recommend approval of Z-25-24-8, per the staff
recommendation with a modification to Stipulation No. 1.n. regarding the pedestrian
circulation exhibit. Francisco Barraza seconded the motion.

Vice Chair Hurd added that she would like to add a stipulation that would require the
developer to provide biannual updates until the golf course is complete. The
Committee voiced their support. Chair Abegg provided stipulation language for
biannual updates after City Council approval. Vice Chair Hurd noted that she would
like the updates to be either in person or written format.

Vice Chair Hurd requested a friendly amendment to add a stipulation that would
require biannual updates after City Council approval for the golf course until its
completion. Mr. Ortega and Mr. Barraza agreed to the friendly amendment.

Vote:
6-2, motion to recommend approval of Z-25-24-8, per the staff recommendation with a
modification and an additional stipulation passed with Committee Members Barraza,
Jensen, Ortega, Rouse, Hurd, and Abegg in favor and Committee Members Nasser-
Taylor and Rubio-Raffin in opposition.

Recommended Stipulations:

REPORT OF PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
September 5, 2024

ITEM NO: 9
DISTRICT NO.: 8
SUBJECT:

Application #: Z-25-24-8 (The Score at Cottonfields PUD)
(Companion Case GPA-LV-1-24-8)
Location: Southeast corner of 59th Avenue and Southern Avenue
From: R1-8 and GC
To: PUD
Acreage: 153.86
Proposal: PUD (Planned Unit Development) to allow single-family residential (attached
and detached) and golf course
Applicant: Alan Beaudoin, Norris Design
Owner: Laveen 140, LLC c/o Alan Robinson
Representative: Adam Baugh, Withey Morris Baugh, PLC

ACTIONS:

Staff Recommendation: Approval, subject to stipulations.

Village Planning Committee (VPC) Recommendation:
Laveen 5/13/2024 Information only.
Laveen 8/12/2024 Approval, per the staff recommendation with a modification and an additional
stipulation. Vote: 6-2.

Planning Commission Recommendation: Approval, per the Laveen Village Planning Committee
recommendation, with a modified and deleted stipulation.

Motion Discussion:

Commissioner Matthews posed a question to staff regarding Stipulation No. 12 which addresses
the installation of a stop light. He asked if the stipulation were to be removed and not require the
developer to install that stop light, would the Street Transportation Department then require a
stop sign or other traffic calming measure.

Ms. Racelle Escolar stated that the Department did provide a potential alternative stipulation,
stating that, “The developer shall submit a traffic impact analysis to establish the development’s
impact to the surrounding street network and warranted contributions to impacted intersections,
as approved by the Street Transportation Department.”

Commissioner Gorraiz asked staff if that was standard language for the Street Transportation
Department to propose for potential rezoning cases.

Ms. Escolar responded in the affirmative, regarding Stipulation No. 12.

There was also discussion amongst the Commission members regarding a modification to
Stipulation No. 1.n. regarding a pedestrian circulation plan.

Motion details: Vice-Chairperson Busching made a MOTION to approve Z-25-24-8, per the
Laveen Village Planning Committee recommendation, with a modification to Stipulation 1.n. to
read “Page 45, Infrastructure, Complete Streets, Exhibit 15: Conceptual Circulation Plan:
Update to clearly delineate exterior sidewalks on all adjacent public streets, and any transit
locations adjacent to the development.” And the deletion of Stipulation 12 (previously 11).

Maker: Vice-Chairperson Busching
Second: Matthews
Vote: 8-0
Absent: Jaramillo
Opposition Present: Yes

Findings:

1. The proposal is compatible with the existing land use pattern and is consistent with the
proposed General Plan Land Use Map designations.

2. The proposal contains enhanced standards that will result in a more walkable, shaded
and pedestrian-friendly environment. The proposal will provide increased shade which
will help to reduce the urban heat island effect.

3. The proposal will revitalize a golf course that will be an asset to the village and provide
additional housing opportunities within the area.

Report Suspicious

Greetings, T
AF
I am not able to attend the meeting in person. However, I did submit an earlier email expressing my concerns
about the loss of security and privacy that result from the golf course design adding a public path way behind
the homes surrounding the lake. I/m not sure what happened to that email.

We purchased our waterfront view homes paying a lot premium for this security and privacy. Please require
the Developer ’s design to exclude the public pathway around the lake or otherwise mitigate the adverse
impact.

Thank you.
