Zoning Classification: C-2
Council District: 5
This request is for a new liquor license for a bar in a hotel. This location was not
previously licensed for liquor sales and does not have an interim permit. This location
requires a Use Permit to allow a bar, outdoor dining, and outdoor alcohol consumption.
The 60-day limit for processing this application was January 12, 2025. However, the
applicant submitted a written request for more time.
Pursuant to A.R.S. 4-203, a spirituous liquor license shall be issued only after
satisfactory showing of the capability, qualifications, and reliability of the applicant and
that the public convenience and the best interest of the community will be substantially
served by the issuance. If an application is filed for the issuance of a license for a
location, that on the date the application is filed has a valid license of the same series
issued at that location, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that the public
convenience and best interest of the community at that location was established at the
time the location was previously licensed. The presumption shall not apply once the
licensed location has not been in use for more than 180 days.

grammar, and punctuation in the statement are shown exactly as written by the

I have the capability, reliability, and qualifications to hold a liquor license because:
“I have been representing liquor license establishments in Arizona for over 15 years.”
The public convenience requires and the best interest of the community will be
substantially served by the issuance of the liquor license because:
“Tourism plays an important role in our local economy and liquor licensed
establishments (the sale of alcohol) is a very important aspect of tourism. Therefore, if
the City of Phoenix continues to lead the State of Arizona by approving quality and
diverse businesses (restaurants, bars, microbreweries, distilleries, hotels, resorts, golf
courses, special events, convenience / liquor / grocery stores & gas stations) similar to
this proposed liquor licensed business, all businesses will prosper.”

Shelter/Heat Related Respite Operator and Supportive Services Qualified Vendor
List and Increase Authority (Ordinance S-51541) - Citywide
Request authorization for the City Manager, or his designee, to amend authorization
for the Emergency Shelter/Heat Related Respite Operator and Supportive Services
Qualified Vendor List (QVL) to increase funding in an amount not to exceed $15
million, for a new not-to-exceed aggregate amount of $56,941,780, and to allow use of
any available Office of Homeless Solutions' (OHS) funding source to fund QVL
contracts up to the not-to-exceed amount. Further request authorization for the City
Controller to disburse funds for the life of the QVL.
Summary
The OHS provides support and services for persons experiencing homelessness and
is committed to ending homelessness through a comprehensive, regional approach to
housing and services. With the dramatic rise of unsheltered individuals experiencing
homelessness during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, OHS is allocating additional
resources to serve this population and focus on housing and services for those most
vulnerable. Qualified vendors from this procurement are awarded contracts for specific
projects when opportunities become available. Contracts awarded include assistance
with City-owned shelter and heat-respite projects, contractor-operated temporary
emergency shelter and heat related respite programs, as well as supportive services to
individuals or families experiencing homelessness.
Some prior Council actions related to this QVL (see Concurrence/Previous Council
Action) had specified certain OHS funding sources and amounts for QVL contracts.
Due to subsequent grant awards, reallocation of American Rescue Plan Act resources,
and other funding impacts, OHS now requests authority to use any OHS fund source,
including federal, state, county, and other grants, as well as general funds allocated to
OHS, to fund QVL contracts up to the not-to-exceed amount, subject to annual budget
approval.
Through these contracts, the City will continue to provide shelter and supportive
services to assist individuals moving from unsheltered homelessness to permanent
housing.
Because this item will have citywide impacts, staff is requesting consent of the full
Council under Section 2 of City Council Ordinance S-50419, which requires additional
Council approval for certain uses of the QVL.
Contract Term
The term of the QVL will remain unchanged, beginning February 1, 2023, through
June 30, 2028.
Financial Impact
The aggregate cost of the contracts will not exceed $56,941,780 over the life of the
QVL. Funding is available in the Human Services Department's operating budget and
via existing federal, state, and county grant funding.

Request City Council approval to adopt an Energy Access target, which aims to
increase Phoenix household participation in low-income energy assistance programs
by 25 percent by 2030.
Summary
Ensuring accessible and affordable energy is essential for improving the quality of life
for Phoenix residents and fostering economic stability. Energy poverty refers to the
inability to meet a household’s energy needs. Energy burden is a common metric that
guides policy and regulations to tackle energy poverty; it is defined as the percentage
of household income spent on energy bills (including gas and electricity). A household
with high energy burden spends more than six percent of its pre-tax income on energy
bills, while a household with severe energy burden spends more than ten percent of its
pre-tax income on energy bills.
Based on the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Low-Income Energy Affordability
Data (LEAD) tool, Phoenix has 584,114 households, of which 150,783 are below the
200 percent Federal Poverty Level (FPL) and are considered low-income households
in regards to the target. The 200 percent FPL is commonly used as an eligibility
threshold for energy assistance and weatherization programs. According to LEAD,
79,079 low-income households experience a high energy burden, and out of these,
42,289 low-income households experience a severe energy burden.
The City of Phoenix’s membership in the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group and the
City’s participation in the Global Covenant of Mayors (GCoM) include a commitment by
the City to develop strategies and measures to facilitate energy access and/or reduce
energy poverty in our community. To meet the City's GCoM commitments and maintain
our leadership as a Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) A-List City, the City must set a
Council-approved Energy Access Plan (EAP) target by January 2025. Additionally, the
City is required to develop a draft EAP for City Council consideration by January 2026
that will outline the recommended actions the City will take to meet or exceed the EAP
targets. The GCoM Common Reporting Framework requires local governments to
assess energy access and energy poverty by considering the conditions of secure,
sustainable, and affordable energy. This assessment serves to guide the City in setting
appropriate targets. To ensure the development of inclusive and effective targets,
public engagement efforts began in 2024 and will continue through 2025 to gather
input from Phoenix residents across diverse communities. After reviewing available
data, and following discussions with community stakeholders, local utilities, and
relevant City departments, staff recommends the following target: increase household
participation in low-income energy assistance programs by 25 percent by 2030. The
2023 baseline for household participation in low-income energy assistance programs
is 72,074 households. This baseline will be used to measure progress toward
achieving the 25 percent increase target.
Energy assistance programs are currently available through utility companies and this
goal will help promote knowledge of these programs. Additional resources may be
available, such as weatherization programs and the state's Solar for All Program. By
increasing participation, Phoenix aims to reduce the energy burden on vulnerable
households and improve energy equity across the City.
Financial Impact
There is no financial impact to the City associated with this action.

The Shade for Students Grant Program is providing funding for shade structures to
public school districts, non-profit schools, after-school or summer program nonprofits,
and youth-serving community centers in areas that have been disproportionately
negatively impacted by COVID-19. The shade structures are supporting public health
by expanding opportunities for safe outdoor learning and recreation. To date, 43 shade
structures have been constructed or retrofitted with this grant funding.
The Shade for Students Grant Program was originally authorized for $1,500,000 with a
program end date of December 31, 2024. An additional $20,156 is requested for this
program, and an extension through June 30, 2025, to meet unanticipated construction
costs and permitting timelines among a limited number of grantees. All grant funding
will be spent by the end of June 2025. Grantee expenditures to date are approximately
$1,500,000.
Financial Impact
Funding for this program will not exceed $1,520,156. There is no impact to the General

Firefighters Grant Program Funds (Ordinance S-51592) - Citywide
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to retroactively apply for, and
accept, if awarded, up to $90,903 from Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2024 Assistance to
Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program to fund wearable biometric devices and Peer Fitness
Trainer Certifications. Further request authorization for the City Treasurer to accept,
and for the City Controller to disburse, all funds related to this item. If not approved,
the grant, if awarded, would be turned down.
Summary
The AFG Program, administered through the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA), is intended to help the nation's fire service by providing vital funds to local fire
departments across the country. The primary goal of the program is to meet the
firefighting and emergency response needs of fire departments, nonaffiliated
emergency medical service organizations, and State Fire Training Academies. Since
2001, AFG has helped firefighters and other first responders obtain critically needed
equipment, protective gear, emergency vehicles, training, and other resources
necessary to protect the public and emergency personnel from fire and related
hazards.
Wearable Biometric Device Project
This Project will implement a program that would provide biometric technology for
firefighters who face high-risk, physically intensive tasks in extremely hot conditions.
The devices are designed to offer feedback on key health indicators directly related to
heat stress, including pulse rate, core body temperature, and levels of physical
exertion. Immediate access to critical health data will enable more effective monitoring
and management of the risks associated with heat-related illnesses and injuries
among firefighters. The total investment for this initiative is estimated at $75,903.
Peer Fitness Trainer (PFT) Program Certification
The PFT Certification Training Project will train and certify Fire Department members
as Peer Fitness Trainers. The goal of this Project will be to certify PFTs who can then
deliver health and wellness training within the Department. The funds will be utilized to
train and certify 10 members as PFTs through the International Association of Fire
Fighters F2T 101 course and 10 PFTs as Certified Nutrition Specialists. The total cost
for this project is $15,000.
Since 2008, the Fire Department has received more than $7 million in AFG funding.
These grants were used to purchase portable radios, thermal imaging cameras,
Incident Safety Officer System Training, Automatic Chest Compression Devices, Peer
Support Team Training and Physical Therapy Equipment Upgrades, Peer Fitness
Instructor Training, and Fire Ground Survival Training and Equipment.
Contract Term
The Grant's Period of Performance is for two years and projected to begin on or

(Ordinance S-51593) - Citywide
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to accept a donation from the
Phoenix Police Foundation of up to $699,255 to purchase tools and equipment for the
Phoenix Police Department (PPD) Patrol Divison. Further request authorization for the
City Treasurer to accept all funds, and for the City Controller to disburse all funds
related to this item.
Summary
The PPD Patrol Division was provided with a unique opportunity to purchase items that
are intended to benefit the division on a daily basis, as well as protect the safety of
community members. The Phoenix Police Foundation was approached by another
foundation, which wanted to make a donation specifically to patrol after the line of duty
death of Officer Zane Coolidge. PPD selected the following items as they would have
the most impact on operations, as well as provide additional safety to officers and
community members.
Protective Ballistic Shields
Patrol-ready ballistic shields to protect officers from handgun and rifle fire while
carrying out their daily duties. These shields also create a protective barrier for
extracting victims, protecting innocent people, and allowing officers to enter a space
that has the propensity for violence.
Key Management System
A 192-capacity key management system will be purchased for the Cactus Park
Precinct. This system allows officers to check out keys for patrol vehicles and return
them at the end of their shift. This will significantly reduce the number of lost keys and
replacement costs, as well as extend the life of the fleet by distributing older and newer
cars respectively. This system also allows vehicles to be available before the start of
patrol shift, allowing for officers to quickly load up and be available for service without
waiting at the precinct for the previous shift to return a patrol car. Putting this
administrative system in the busiest police precinct will allow PPD to reap the benefits
of the program and work on adding more key organizational systems to the rest of the
Police Department, as funds become available.
Breaching Tools
A breaching tool allows patrol officers to make critical crisis entries to extricate victims,
access incapacitated citizens, and/or subdue a subject engaging in active violence to
prevent serious physical injury or death.
Mobile Fingerprint Scanners
Mobile fingerprint scanners will allow officers to accurately identify suspects in the field
rather than transporting them to a precinct for identification purposes. This technology
is also very effective in identifying remains of deceased persons, making notifications
to next of kin possible, as well as increasing the effectiveness of a streamlined death
investigation.
Telescoping Ladders
Telescoping portable ladders allow a vantage point to elevate an officer above a crime
scene to help mitigate any potential threats to civilians and officers alike. These
lightweight ladders are easily transported in patrol vehicles and can be quickly
extended to reach elevated positions. These items can assist officers in accessing
rooftops or reaching innocent citizens from areas that pose an inherent risk of injury or
death.
Break and Rakes
Break and rake tools enable patrol officers to break through windows and safely clear
glass during crisis entry situations. The podcut's durable design provides a versatile
tool for rapid access in situations requiring both force and precision.
Item Breakdown
The donation will be broken down to purchase the following items, showing the
quantities and total purchase prices.
· Protective Ballistic Shields (60): $560,601
· Key Management System (1): $35,376
· Entry Rams (100): $35,000
· Mobile Fingerprint Scanners (10): $30,408
· Telescoping Ladders (70): $20,283
· Break and Rakes (41): $17,587
The Phoenix Police Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. The Foundation
is committed to addressing unmet capital needs of the Police Department, providing
financial assistance in crisis situations, and recognizing those who protect our
community.
Financial Impact
The total amount to be donated for the purchase of the equipment and tools is
$699,255.

DECEMBER 18, 2024) - Ordinance to Establish the Network Infrastructure
Services License by Creating New Chapter 5D of the Phoenix City Code and to
Establish an Effective Date (Ordinance G-7343) - Citywide
Request City Council approval to adopt an ordinance to establish the Network
Infrastructure Services License by creating a new Chapter 5D of the Phoenix City
Code to allow for companies that desire to provide fiber-to-the-home services for high-
speed internet access.
Summary
This proposed City Code amendment will provide the framework for the City to enter
into licenses with companies that desire to sell fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) services for
high-speed broadband internet access (500 Megabits to 1 Gigabit per second) to end-
user customers. The target customers are mostly residential and some small
businesses.
City Code currently does not have a specific chapter to allow network infrastructure
services to be installed and operated in the right-of-way, and the creation of this code
will enable the City to enter into Network Infrastructure Service Licenses with
interested providers who desire to install fiber-optic cabling in the City’s rights-of-way
(ROW) and sell high-speed internet access to residential customers through a FTTH
services network.
The new code section (Attachment A) will establish the framework for the license, the
basis for the long-term agreement with these companies, and will outline the financial
terms and payments that companies will remit to reimburse the City for services
provided in the installation and operation of their networks, and a fee for the use of the
ROW. The license will also outline the requirements for all work that is performed
within the ROW and requires inspection and conformance with adopted City codes and
requirements.
In 2022, the City of Mesa approved licenses for five companies to provide FTTH
services for high-speed internet services. In 2023, the cities of Chandler and Gilbert
approved similar licenses for the same purpose. During this time frame,
representatives from AT&T, Google, BAM Broadband/Desert iNet and Zoom Tech
Arizona approached City staff to outline their interest and present proposals to build a
FTTH network in Phoenix. In 2024, Flying Bull Internet, LLC dba Novos Fiber also
expressed an interest in providing network infrastructure services.
On July 1, 2024, the City Council approved Temporary Network Services Construction
Licenses for BAM Broadband and Zoom Tech Arizona that allows the companies to
begin the permit submittal process and to commence construction until Chapter 5D is
adopted and full-term licenses can be issued in early 2025.
Concurrence/Previous Council Action
· On June 21, 2023, this matter was presented to the Transportation, Infrastructure
and Planning (TIP) Subcommittee for information and discussion.
· On June 20, 2024, this matter was presented to the TIP Subcommittee for
information and discussion.
· On November 20, 2024, the TIP Subcommittee unanimously approved this item.
Public Outreach
The Street Transportation Department met with various industry stakeholders between
May 2022 through October 2024, with representatives of the network infrastructure
service industry to discuss the new Code Chapter, applicable fees, and the City's
proposed license requirements. Additionally, staff discussed the need to meet current
City requirements that do not allow micro-trenching in the ROW and also the pavement
restoration requirements for surface treatment. These requirements help mitigate
negative driver/user experience while utilizing the ROW and ensure longevity of the
asphalt. These are critical because the City has performed $200 million in pavement
maintenance at the direction of the Mayor and City Council based upon resident
concerns about the conditions of the City maintained streets over the last five years.
Based on the feedback from these meetings and the June 21, 2023, TIP
Subcommittee, the City adjusted the annual fees for use of the City’s right-of-way.
Google Fiber and Gigapower still have concerns about the three percent, six percent,
and Annual Minimum Fee (AMF). However, their most significant concerns are that the
City does not allow for micro-trenching and the requirement to comply with pavement
restoration requirements. The City is working with Google Fiber to install a micro-
trench pilot area to evaluate the impacts to the ROW. The City has offered Gigapower
the opportunity to do a pilot installation that utilizes ground penetrating radar instead of
traditional boring methods to locate existing utilities.
The Communication Workers of America (CWA) union provided an email with
concerns about the quality of work performed by FTTH contractors in Minnesota and
Texas. The CWA provided a list of work quality and labor standards that included ROW
Contractor Transparency, ROW Contractor Training and Certifications, as well as
Monitoring and Penalties. The City verifies that contractors provide proof of insurance
and worker's compensation coverage and also verifies that the contractor is licensed
with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. The City inspects contractor work to ensure
compliance with all City requirements and has the ability to limit or to stop work by a
contractor that is not performing work safely or following City approved construction
requirements.
Financial Impact
The new code section proposes a license fee based on a percentage of gross
revenues from FTTH customers and an AMF based on the number of residential units
passed for use of the City's ROW. In addition, the companies will reimburse the City
for plan review and permits, inspections, ROW Management, and other fees for staff
time that are directly related to the construction, operation, and repair of the facilities
required for the FTTH networks. Staff lowered the upfront AMF from the initial $12 per
home, down to $9 and now $6 for each residential unit passed before the three
percent or six percent cost structure would become active. This was done because of
industry concerns about the upfront installation costs due to not allowing micro-
trenching and the pavement restoration requirements. This lower upfront AMF helps
reduce upfront installation costs, and the City created a category for FTTH installation
concurrent with new subdivision developments that does not require payment until at
least 50 percent of the homes in a subdivision are sold.
On October 18, 2024, in accordance with A.R.S. 9-499.15 and City of Phoenix
Administrative Regulations 1.98, the City posted on its website and social media page
that the new fees in Chapter 5D will be on a City Council agenda on December 18,
2024, or later.

lanes to one lane and then subsequently merge this one inner lane with two outer curb
lanes; modifying striping on the north side of Terminal 3 at the west end to allow for
two inner curb lanes entering from Sky Harbor Boulevard; adding additional pavement
to allow for a safer merge of the turnaround traffic with the eastbound lanes along Sky
Harbor Boulevard at the Terminal 2 turnaround; installing street lighting; and adding
fencing and bollards to maintain safety from the updated traffic patterns.
The selection was made using an Invitation for Bids procurement process set forth in
Section 34-201 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. Two bids were received on October

International Airport (Ordinance S-51587) - District 8
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into a lease
agreement with the State of Arizona by and through the Arizona State Lottery for the
sale of lottery tickets at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX).
Summary
Since December 2015, Arizona State Lottery has leased space in Terminal 4 under
Airport Lease Agreement 141902 (Lease) to operate a pre-security retail counter
location for lottery ticket sales. In September 2020, the Lease with Arizona State
Lottery was amended to expand its presence in Terminal 4 by adding additional lottery
vending kiosks in post-security locations, adjusting the net rent revenue structure to
percentage of sales generated by lottery counter and vending locations, and extending
the term of the Lease to expire on December 31, 2024.
Arizona State Lottery desires to enter into a new lease agreement to continue offering
lottery product sales opportunities through modern, tech-friendly vending equipment
and expanding lottery vending sales locations, which may include Terminal 3 and the
Rental Car Center at PHX. Since the Arizona State Lottery is the State-operated entity
with the exclusive rights to provide and authorize the sale of lottery products, the
Aviation Department will enter the new lease under a determination in accordance with
the Phoenix Procurement Code and Administrative Regulation 3.10.
Contract Term
The three-year term of the new lease will begin on or about January 1, 2025, and the
lease will contain four one-year options to extend the term at the sole discretion of the
Aviation Director.
Financial Impact
Arizona State Lottery will pay percentage rent equal to eight percent of gross sales
generated by lottery tickets sold at PHX. According to Arizona Revised Statutes
section 5-555(A)(4), eight percent is the maximum payment compensation percentage
to licensed sales location for lottery tickets sold. The estimated annual revenue to the
City is $144,000 and will result in approximately $1,008,000 over the seven-year
aggregate term of the lease.
Concurrence/Previous Council Action
The Phoenix Aviation Advisory Board recommended approval of this item on
November 21, 2024, by a vote of 5-0.

51567) - District 6
Request to retroactively authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to apply for,
accept and, if awarded, enter into an agreement for disbursement of Federal funding
from the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) through the Fiscal Year 2025-
26 Call for Projects for the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Off-System
Bridge Program: Bridge Formula Program (OSB:BFP) grant opportunity. Further
request an exemption from the indemnification prohibition set forth in the Phoenix City
Code Section 42-18 for a governmental entity pursuant to Phoenix City Code Section
42-20. Additionally request to authorize the City Treasurer to accept, and the City
Controller to disburse, all funds related to this item. Funding for these grant
opportunities are available through the Federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and other
sources. The total grant funds applied for will not exceed $2,184,549, and the City
would have no local match requirement.
Summary
On October 23, 2024, MAG announced a call for projects for the ADOT OSB:BFP. The
purpose of the ADOT OSB:BFP is to fund the design and construction for replacement,
rehabilitation, preservation and protection of roadway bridges over waterways,
railroads, canals, and other roadways or topographic barriers, other roadways, and
railroads and canals for bridges specifically not on the Federal-aid highway system,
which means bridges over local roads or minor rural collectors.
The ADOT OSB Program consists of funding from multiple sources and the Street
Transportation Department has submitted an application for ADOT OSB:BFP funding,
which requires no local match for awards. This opportunity utilizes funding from the
Federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which can be used for replacement,
rehabilitation and/or strengthening a bridge in either poor or fair condition having a
load capacity rating that requires the bridge to be posted for weight restrictions based
on the National Bridge Inspection Standards. Funding can also be used for
preservation, prevention maintenance, or protection measures. Awards can be used
for both design and construction phases.
The City of Phoenix is requesting funding to rehabilitate Dry Wash RCB 07742 at
Warpaint Drive. The objective of this project is to improve the condition rating of the
structure, extend the anticipated design life of the structure, mitigate recurring
maintenance issues, and strengthen the structure.
Financial Impact
The estimated total cost for the project is approximately $2,184,549. The maximum
Federal participation rate is 100 percent, with a minimum local match of zero percent.
If awarded, the Federal match would not exceed $2,184,549 and the City would have
no local match requirement.
Potential grant funding received is available through the Federal Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law, from MAG through the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Call for Projects for the
ADOT OSB:BFP grant opportunity.

Materials Program Grant Opportunity for Federal Fiscal Year 2021-22 - Federal
Inflation Reduction Act Funding (Ordinance S-51574) - Citywide
Request to retroactively authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to apply for,
accept, and if awarded, enter into an agreement for disbursement of Federal funding
from the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) through the Low-Carbon
Transportation Materials (LCTM) Program for Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2021-22.
Further request to authorize the City Treasurer to accept, and the City Controller to
disburse, all funds related to this item. Funding for this grant opportunity is available
through the Federal Inflation Reduction Act. The total grant funds applied for will not
exceed $13 million, and there is no local match required.
Summary
The LCTM Program is a funding initiative under the Biden-Harris administration's
Federal Inflation Reduction Act, Federal Buy Clean Initiative, which aims to catalyze
clean energy industries and jobs. The USDOT announced a Notice of Funding
Opportunity (NOFO) on August 27, 2024, with over $800 million available. The grant
deadline was November 25, 2024. If awarded, all funds must be obligated by
September 30, 2026, and expended by September 30, 2031, with a performance
period of one to six years.
The City will undertake several initiatives, including developing an Environmental
Product Declaration (EPD) program to quantify carbon emissions. The City will
evaluate the opportunity to implement low-carbon materials on upcoming capital
improvement projects and look for opportunities to update contract and administrative
requirements and establish a quality assurance plan with post-construction monitoring.
The City will also pursue the opportunity to establish a framework for identifying or
incentivizing low-carbon materials, research new material and products to pilot or test
on Phoenix roadways and purchase new material lab equipment to better test and
evaluate the benefit of low carbon materials. The proposed LCTM program aims to
reduce carbon emissions and enhance the sustainability and resilience of the
Phoenix’s transportation network. If awarded, City staff will also look for opportunities
to continue partnering with local universities and industry on this low-carbon
transportation materials initiative.
Financial Impact

Lutgerding Residence - 303 W. Willetta Street (Ordinance S-51591) - District 7
This report requests the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into the necessary
agreements and conveyances with John and Criselda Sweet related to a Phil Gordon
Threatened Building Grant of up to $199,500 to assist with the rehabilitation of the
historically designated George H. and Mabel M. Lutgerding Residence located at 303
W. Willetta Street. Further request for the City Controller to disburse all funds related to
this item.
Summary
Located at the southwest corner of 3rd Avenue and Willetta Street, the Lutgerding
Residence was constructed circa 1912. The property was listed in the National
Register of Historic Places as a contributor to the Kenilworth Historic District in 1983
and listed in the Phoenix Historic Property Register as part of the Roosevelt District in
1986. The property is a significant example of Tudor Revival-style architecture
designed by prominent Phoenix architect Leighton G. Knipe and was acknowledged as
individually eligible for historic designation should certain non-historic modifications to
the property be reversed.
During the Great Depression and World War II, the home was used as a boarding
house, and in 1971, it became a group home. A number of modifications were made to
the building to increase and divide space to accommodate this use, including additions
to the front and side elevations.
The current property owners, John and Criselda Sweet, purchased the home in
September of 2024 with the intention of converting the property back to single family
use and reversing a number of the prior modifications. The owners submitted a
threatened building grant application on October 9, 2024. The owners are seeking
funding assistance for the following eligible work items:
1. Installation of new period-appropriate diamond-paned windows;
2. Repair and restoration of original windows where present;
3. Replacement of exterior doors to match originals;
4. Full roof replacement on main structure;
5. Repair/replacement of half-timbering on gable ends;
6. Various brick repairs;
7. Demolition of non-historic additions and restoration of front facade;
8. Replacement of missing section of front porch wall; and
9. Various stucco repairs.
The cost of the entire rehabilitation project is estimated at $600,000.
Staff recommends allocating the use of $199,500 in available Phil Gordon Threatened
Building Grant funds for this project.
If approved, the grant funds will be disbursed to the applicant on a reimbursement
basis. The applicant will be required to provide evidence of a dollar-for-dollar match.
Financial Impact
The requested amount is $199,500. In exchange for the grant funds, the City will
receive a 30-year conservation easement. The easement will require that the property
be preserved and that it be insured and maintained in good repair once rehabilitation is
completed. Funding is available in the Department's General Fund budget.

Applicant: The NRP Group, LLC
Representative: Benjamin Tate, Withey Morris Baugh, PLC
Location: Southwest corner of 69th Avenue and Thomas
Road
Acreage: 10.75 acres
Current Plan Designation: Residential 3.5 to 5 dwelling units per acre
Requested Plan Designation: Residential 15+ dwelling units per acre
Reason for Requested Change: Minor General Plan Amendment to allow
multifamily residential
Maryvale Village Planning Committee November 13, 2024
Meeting Date:
Staff Recommendation: Approval
FINDINGS:
1) The proposed land use map designation provides for housing near the
Maryvale Village Core and along Thomas Road which is a high-ridership bus
route.
2) The proposal will develop an underutilized property and provide a high quality
multifamily residential development which will help alleviate the housing
shortage in Phoenix.
3) The companion rezoning case, Z-53-24-7, provides enhanced setbacks and
landscape areas to be sensitive to the surrounding single-family residences.
BACKGROUND
The subject site is 10.75 gross acres located at the southwest corner of 69th Avenue
and Thomas Road. The site currently contains a single-family residence and a large
amount of trees.
Staff Analysis
GPA-MV-1-24-7
This request proposes a minor amendment to the General Plan Land Use Map to
allow multifamily residential units. The proposal will modify the land use map
designation from Residential 3.5 to 5 dwelling units per acre to Residential 15+
dwelling units per acre.
General Plan Land Use Map Designation

Staff Analysis
GPA-MV-1-24-7
The companion rezoning case Z-53-24-7
is requesting to rezone the 10.75-acre
site from 2.05 acres of S-1 (Ranch or
Farm Residence) and 8.70 acres of R1-6
(Single-Family Residence District) to R-4
(Multifamily Residence District). The
existing zoning is depicted on the
adjacent figure.

SURROUNDING LAND USES
NORTH (across Thomas Road)
A single-family residential development is located north of the subject site, across
Thomas Road, and is designated Residential 3.5 to 5 dwelling units per acre
EAST (across 69th Avenue)
East of the subject site, across the 69th Avenue, is a single-family residential
development designated Residential 3.5 to 5 dwelling units per acre.
SOUTH And WEST
Located south and west of the subject site is a single-family residential development
designated Residential 3.5 to 5 dwelling units per acre.
RELATIONSHIP TO GENERAL PLAN CORE VALUES AND PRINCIPLES
CELEBRATE OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS
• DIVERSE NEIGHBORHOODS; LAND USE PRINCIPLE: Include a mix of
housing types and densities where appropriate within each village that
support a broad range of lifestyles.
The request facilitates additional housing opportunities in the Village that will
help alleviate the housing crisis.
CELEBRATE OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS
• DIVERSE NEIGHBORHOODS; LAND USE PRINCIPLE: Communities
should consist of a mix of land uses to provide housing, shopping,
dinning and recreational options for residents.
Staff Analysis
GPA-MV-1-24-7
The proposed General Plan Land Use Map designation will allow for higher
density residential, diversifying the housing stock in the area and allow for
additional housing near the Maryvale Village Core and in close proximity to the
Desert West Park and Community Center which provide many recreational
opportunities.
BUILD THE SUSTAINABLE DESERT CITY
• DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Integrate trees and shade into the design of new
development and redevelopment projects throughout Phoenix.
The proposal, as stipulated in the companion rezoning case Z-53-24-7,
includes enhanced landscaping which shall be planted within the landscape
strips of detached sidewalks. This will create a comfortable pedestrian
environment along Thomas Road and 69th Avenue by reducing the heat island
effect and making the walk to nearby destinations safer and more comfortable.
As of the writing of this staff report, staff has received one letter of opposition.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of GPA-MV-1-24-7. The request aligns with the goals and
policies of the General Plan and will result in a land use designation that will maximize
the property’s location close to the Maryvale Village Core, community center and park,
and a high ridership bus route. Along with the companion rezoning case, Z-53-24-7,
the General Plan Amendment will allow for enhanced landscaping and detached
sidewalks to make the environment more pedestrian friendly.

Staff Presentation:
Matteo Moric, staff, presented an overview of the general plan amendment and
companion rezoning case. Mr. Moric identified the size and location of the site, the
requested General Plan Land Use Map and zoning designations, the surrounding uses
and zoning, and the proposal. Mr. Moric explained the site was the property with the
densely populated trees at the southwest corner of 69th Avenue and Thomas Road. Mr.
Moric then noted there was one correspondence in opposition received on this item. Mr.
Moric summarized the staff findings of each case and provided the staff
recommendations and identified the staff recommended stipulations.
Applicant Presentation:
Benjamin Tate, with the law firm of Withey Morris Baugh, PLC, represented the
applicant, The NRP Group. Mr. Tate indicated the site is a little over 10 acres requiring
the general plan amendment. Mr. Tate noted the S-1 zoning is the portion of the site
where the farmstead is located, and the undisturbed areas of the property were zoned
R1-6. Mr. Tate stated the farmstead residence was built around 1915, and the Historic
Preservation Office felt it did not have historical value that needed to be preserved. Mr.
Tate displayed aerial photos of property and highlighted how residential subdivisions

Maryvale Village Planning Committee
Meeting Summary
GPA-MV-1-24-7
surrounding the property were mainly built in the 1970’s and 80’s. Mr. Tate explained
the history of the mesquite trees and said there were over 2,000 of them. Mr. Tate
explained that many of the mesquite trees would need to be salvaged, and noted
typically with trees they would reuse them onsite, but with so many they are working
with the City of Phoenix to get direction on what to do with them.
Mr. Tate emphasized that the current condition of 69th Avenue is one lane and
dangerous, because it is narrow. Mr. Tate added that with this project they would build
another lane to include improvements such as a 25-foot-wide half street, curb, gutter,
sidewalk, and landscaping. Mr. Tate said the site is challenged because an odd shape
and everything other than multifamily development would be difficult to land plan
around. Mr. Tate said they are proposing a 288-unit garden style multifamily project. Mr.
Tate said they were limiting the development to 3-stories and indicated there would be a
landscape tract with private yards on the south side. Mr. Tate added they limited the
building sizes and would be stipulated to plant mature evergreen trees to add a green
screen and buffer properties to the south and west.
Mr. Tate noted that there was a proposed secondary access but that could only be used
by the fire and police for emergency services. Mr. Tate said they would install a
detached sidewalk and shade trees and provided a rendering of more modern style
architecture. Mr. Tate stated the development company does quality work and
described the many amenities within and outside of the proposed units.
Mr. Tate added the City is working on creating a redevelopment zone in the area which
would allow the City to approve a Government Lease Excise Tax (GPLET). Mr. Tate
stated this would allow the City to purchase the property and lease back the property as
a ground lease to The NRP Group and give them a break on property taxes. Mr. Tate
added there could be a development agreement to allow a significant rent reduction
which would allow half the units to be offered as affordable of 80% or less of the Area
Median Income (AMI).
Mr. Tate stated there were many violations on the property over the years since it did
not develop. Mr. Tate said this is quality multifamily housing project in an area that has
not seen development for a long time. Mr. Tate emphasized they oriented the buildings
to not be intrusive and considered the neighbors privacy.
Questions from Committee/Applicant Response:
Patricia Jimenez asked about the house on the property. Mr. Tate explained the owner
lives in the house and he is the one wanting to sell it.
Ken DuBose questioned the amount of public outreach that had taken place in the
community. Mr. Tate identified as part of process a neighborhood meeting and mailing
notices were sent out to property owners within 600 feet and neighborhood associations
within one mile.

Meeting Summary
GPA-MV-1-24-7
Joe Barba asked about the letter of opposition. Mr. Tate noted it was in the back of the
staff report and no specific concerns were raised about the project other than the
person was in opposition and wanted to know what they would need to do so it does not
pass. Mr. Barba asked about the neighbors’ concerns at the neighborhood meeting. Mr.
Tate stated the neighbors’ concerns were traffic and the desire to limit access with cars
into neighborhood and building height. Mr. Tate also stated they designed the site so
the orientation of the buildings would be less intrusive to the surrounding neighborhood,
and they limited access on 69th Avenue which would reduce the amount of cut-through
traffic.
Chris Demarest asked about the number of parking spots. Mr. Tate said there were
432 proposed parking spaces.
Jennifer Fostino had concerns with the material changes of the buildings and felt it
was needed to be high-end. Mr. Tate said there would be material and architectural
changes to create visual interests. Jennifer Fostino asked about the width of landscape
required by the City between multifamily and single-family residential. Mr. Moric
responded there is a required 5-foot landscape setback in those situations, but the
building setback is required to be greater. Jennifer Fostino clarified where she wanted to
see more landscape buffers.
Meli Acevedo wanted to get clarity on the sale of the property to the City of Phoenix.
Mr. Tate and Austin Kates, with The NRP Group, clarified the process to take
advantage of a GPLET. Ms. Acevedo also had concerns about the trees which provided
shade and she wanted to see if there was an ability for residents to re-purpose shade
trees since she felt they were badly needed in the area. Mr. Tate explained they wanted
to keep as many for their own project and salvage the remaining trees.
Joe Barba wanted to make the trees available to Maryvale residents.
Cindy Alonzo wanted to know what the rates of rent would be for the project.
Chair Derie wanted to see if he understood the proposal correctly and described it as a
private property owner who wished to sell the land so 288 units could be built on it. Mr.
Tate explained if the GPLET would not be involved the applicant would still move
forward with the project, but qualified people would not be able to benefit because of the
reduced rent rate. Chair Derie expressed he thought the applicant was trying to be a
good neighbor to allow the units to be at a more affordable rate. Mr. Tate emphasized
the importance of establishing a redevelopment area in this part of the city and to be
able to utilize the GPLET.
Warren Norgaard asked about the project’s timeline. Mr. Tate and Mr. Kates
described the timeline.
Meli Acevedo mentioned she saw on The NRP website that they develop and manage
properties. Mr. Tate said the plan is to manage the property too. Ms. Acevedo asked if

Maryvale Village Planning Committee
Meeting Summary
GPA-MV-1-24-7
The NRP Group had developed other projects in Phoenix. Mr. Tate said they developed
properties in Phoenix in the past and would be doing more.
Chris Demarest asked of the likelihood of the development backing out. Mr. Tate
indicated that they were working so closely with the Economic Development
Department and with the GPLET a development agreement would be needed,
identifying a timeline.
Mr. Demarest also had a question about the access to 69th Avenue. Mr. Tate said the
only people who would have access to open the gate would be the property
management, fire and police departments.
Mr. Barba loved the fact they were keeping some of the landscaping and would love to
see an approach to see if can offer trees to residents. Mr. Tate said they were working
with upper management for guidance on this.
Lupita Galaviz felt this project would be good for Phoenix and the community.
Chair Derie asked about the bus pad. Mr. Tate described the location of the bus pad
and how it would have direct access for people living at the project.
Public Comments:
Teresa Vazquez noted she was a neighbor of the property and indicated she was
happy they would widen the road. Ms. Vazquez expressed concerns with problems of
scorpions and snakes and was concerned what will happen with them when the
development commences. Mr. Tate said they could do some level of pest control before
the landscape and salvage takes place. Ms. Vazquez recommended approval of the
project.
Angel Colin, neighbor, said all his questions were answered.
Valeria, neighbor, shared concerns with the proposed building height and privacy.
Mr. Tate said the front doors of the units would face inward on the property and there
would be no balconies. Valeria also asked about access from 69th Avenue. Mr. Tate
said it would only be used for emergency purposes.

The request facilitates additional housing opportunities in the Village that will help
alleviate the housing crisis.
CELEBRATE OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORHOOS; DIVERSE
NEIGHBORHOODS; LAND USE PRINCIPLE: Communities should consist of a
mix of land uses to provide housing, shopping, dinning and recreational
options for residents.
The proposed rezoning will allow for higher density residential, diversifying the
housing stock in the area. The new zoning will allow for additional housing near the
Maryvale Village Core and in close proximity to the Desert West Park and Community
Center which provide many recreational opportunities.
BUILD THE SUSTAINABLE DESERT CITY CORE VALUE; TREES AND SHADE;
DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Integrate trees and shade into the design of new
development and redevelopment projects throughout Phoenix.
The proposal, as stipulated, includes enhanced landscaping which shall be planted
within the landscape strips of detached sidewalks. This will create a comfortable
pedestrian environment along Thomas Road and 69th Avenue by reducing the heat
island effect and making the walk to nearby destinations safer and more comfortable.
The proposed development will require landscape inventory and salvage plan(s)
which will facilitate many of the existing trees to remain on site.

Background/Issues/Analysis
SUBJECT SITE
1. This request is to rezone 10.75 acres located at the southwest corner of 69th Avenue
and Thomas Road from 2.05 acres of S-1 (Ranch or Farm Residence) and 8.70 acres
of R1-6 (Single-Family Residence District) to R-4 (Multifamily Residence District) to
allow multifamily residential. The subject site consists of a residence, accessory
structures, and several trees as shown in the aerial sketch map included as an exhibit.
GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION
2. The General Plan Land Use Map General Plan Land Use Map, Source: Planning and
designation for the site is Residential Development Department
3.5 to 5 dwelling units per acre. The
proposal for R-4 zoning is not
consistent with the current
designation, however, a proposed
General Plan Amendment is being
requested as part of companion case
GPA-MV-1-24-7 to Residential 15+
dwelling units per acre. The proposed
R-4 zoning district is consistent with
the proposed General Plan Land Use
Map designation of Residential 15+
dwelling units per acre.
Staff Report: Z-53-24-7
November 1, 2024
SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING
3. Surrounding the site are single-family residences which were platted in the late 1970s.
These surrounding properties are zoned R1-6 (Single-Family Residence District).
PROPOSAL
4. The conceptual site plan attached as an exhibit proposes 288 multifamily residences
distributed throughout the site in nine buildings. It also contains one single-story
clubhouse and a central amenity area with a pool and a dog park area.
Two of the proposed residential buildings along the south and southwest portions of the
site are setback 35 feet from the single-family residential properties. To limit the
impacts of this development to the single-family residences to the south and southwest,
additional setbacks greater than the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance standards are
proposed as listed in Stipulation No. 3 and evergreen trees for additional buffering are
required per Stipulation No. 2.
Staff recommends enhanced planting standards along the street frontages to create a
shaded and more visually appealing streetscape. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 1.
The primary open space area is surrounded by the clubhouse/leasing office and two of
the multifamily residential buildings. This open space area includes a pool and there is
an approximate 2,000 square foot landscape strip surrounded by the parking lot and
used as a dog park. The proposed open space of 7 percent will exceed the Zoning
Ordinance requirements of 5%. Staff recommends Stipulation No. 4 so that the
provided open space is developed as proposed.
To enhance pedestrian connectivity and safety, Stipulation No. 5 requires pedestrian
pathways to visually contrast from the drive aisles.
STUDIES AND POLICIES
5. Housing Phoenix Plan
In June 2020, the Phoenix City Council approved the Housing Phoenix Plan. This Plan
contains policy initiatives for the development and preservation of housing with a vision
of creating a stronger and more vibrant Phoenix through increased housing options for
residents at all income levels and family sizes. Phoenix’s rapid population growth and
housing underproduction has led to a need for over 163,000 new housing units.
Current shortages of housing supply relative to demand are a primary reason why
housing costs are increasing. The proposed development supports the Plan’s goal of
preserving or creating 50,000 housing units by 2030 by contributing to a variety housing
types that will address the supply shortage.
6. Tree and Shade Master Plan
The Tree and Shade Master Plan encourages treating the urban forest as infrastructure
to ensure the trees are an integral part of the City’s planning and development process.
Staff Report: Z-53-24-7
November 1, 2024
Stipulation Nos. 1, 2, 6, 9, 11, 20 and 28 require enhanced planting standards or
shading to contribute to the urban forest and increase thermal comfort for pedestrians
and residents on site.
7. 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. To support the monarch butterfly population, Stipulation No. 22
will require the planting of milkweed shrubs, or other native nectar plant species on the
subject site.
8. 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.
Stipulation No. 9 and 11 require a detached sidewalk along Thomas Road and 69th
Avenue with landscaping between the curb and sidewalk for comfort and pedestrian
safety. Stipulation No. 5 requires pedestrian pathways to have a contrasting pavement
treatment to denote where the pedestrian pathways cross drive aisles. Stipulation No.
14 and 15 require that any street improvements to be built to ADA and City of Phoenix
standards to promote accessible and safe street environment.
9. 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. Stipulation No. 17
through 20 require bicycle infrastructure on site for residents and visitors. This includes
bicycle parking, electrical receptacles for electric bicycle charging, a bicycle repair
station, and extra shading for the bicycle parking spaces.
10. 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
Staff Report: Z-53-24-7
November 1, 2024
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. Stipulation Nos. 18 and 21 provide
requirements for electric bicycle and vehicle parking, charging and infrastructure.
11. 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. 23 through 31.
12. 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 in Stipulation No.
31, which requires a minimum of two GI techniques for stormwater management to be
implemented.
13. 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 applicant has indicated the project will incorporate
recycling provided through dedicated recycling dumpsters in each of the solid waste
enclosures throughout the site and dedicated recycling bins in all common areas.

3 members of the public registered to speak on this item, in support.
2 members of the public registered to speak on this item, in opposition.
Staff Presentation:
Matteo Moric, staff, presented an overview of the general plan amendment and
companion rezoning case. Mr. Moric identified the size and location of the site, the
requested General Plan Land Use Map and zoning designations, the surrounding uses
and zoning, and the proposal. Mr. Moric explained the site was the property with the
densely populated trees at the southwest corner of 69th Avenue and Thomas Road. Mr.
Moric then noted there was one correspondence in opposition received on this item. Mr.
Moric summarized the staff findings of each case and provided the staff
recommendations and identified the staff recommended stipulations.
Applicant Presentation:
Benjamin Tate, with the law firm of Withey Morris Baugh, PLC, represented the
applicant, The NRP Group. Mr. Tate indicated the site is a little over 10 acres requiring
the general plan amendment. Mr. Tate noted the S-1 zoning is the portion of the site
where the farmstead is located, and the undisturbed areas of the property were zoned
R1-6. Mr. Tate stated the farmstead residence was built around 1915, and the Historic
Preservation Office felt it did not have historical value that needed to be preserved. Mr.
Tate displayed aerial photos of property and highlighted how residential subdivisions

Meeting Summary
Z-53-24-7
surrounding the property were mainly built in the 1970’s and 80’s. Mr. Tate explained
the history of the mesquite trees and said there were over 2,000 of them. Mr. Tate
explained that many of the mesquite trees would need to be salvaged, and noted
typically with trees they would reuse them onsite, but with so many they are working
with the City of Phoenix to get direction on what to do with them.
Mr. Tate emphasized that the current condition of 69th Avenue is one lane and
dangerous, because it is narrow. Mr. Tate added that with this project they would build
another lane to include improvements such as a 25-foot-wide half street, curb, gutter,
sidewalk, and landscaping. Mr. Tate said the site is challenged because an odd shape
and everything other than multifamily development would be difficult to land plan
around. Mr. Tate said they are proposing a 288-unit garden style multifamily project. Mr.
Tate said they were limiting the development to 3-stories and indicated there would be a
landscape tract with private yards on the south side. Mr. Tate added they limited the
building sizes and would be stipulated to plant mature evergreen trees to add a green
screen and buffer properties to the south and west.
Mr. Tate noted that there was a proposed secondary access but that could only be used
by the fire and police for emergency services. Mr. Tate said they would install detached
sidewalk and shade trees and provided a rendering of more modern style architecture.
Mr. Tate stated the development company does quality work and described the many
amenities within and outside of the proposed units.
Mr. Tate added the City is working on creating a redevelopment zone in the area which
would allow the City to approve a Government Lease Excise Tax (GPLET). Mr. Tate
stated this would allow the City to purchase the property and lease back the property as
a ground lease to The NRP Group and give them a break on property taxes. Mr. Tate
added there could be a development agreement to allow a significant rent reduction
which would allow half the units to be offered as affordable of 80% or less of the Area
Median Income (AMI).
Mr. Tate stated there were many violations on the property over the years since it did
not develop. Mr. Tate said this is quality multifamily housing project in an area that has
not seen development for a long time. Mr. Tate emphasized they oriented the buildings
to not be intrusive and considered the neighbors privacy.
Questions from Committee/Applicant Response:
Patricia Jimenez asked about the house on the property. Mr. Tate explained the owner
lives in the house and he is the one wanting to sell it.
Ken DuBose questioned the amount of public outreach that had taken place in the
community. Mr. Tate identified as part of process a neighborhood meeting and mailing
notices were sent out to property owners within 600 feet and neighborhood associations
within one mile.

Maryvale Village Planning Committee
Meeting Summary
Z-53-24-7
Joe Barba asked about the letter of opposition. Mr. Tate noted it was in the back of the
staff report and no specific concerns were raised about the project other than the
person was in opposition and wanted to know what they would need to do so it does not
pass. Mr. Barba asked about the neighbors’ concerns at the neighborhood meeting. Mr.
Tate stated the neighbors’ concerns were traffic and the desire to limit access with cars
into neighborhood and building height. Mr. Tate also stated they designed the site so
the orientation of the buildings would be less intrusive to the surrounding neighborhood,
and they limited access on 69th Avenue which would reduce the amount of cut-through
traffic.
Chris Demarest asked about the number of parking spots. Mr. Tate said there were
432 proposed parking spaces.
Jennifer Fostino had concerns with the material changes of the buildings and felt it
was needed to be high-end. Mr. Tate said there would be material and architectural
changes to create visual interests. Jennifer Fostino asked about the width of landscape
required by the City between multifamily and single-family residential. Mr. Moric
responded there is a required 5-foot landscape setback in those situations, but the
building setback is required to be greater. Jennifer Fostino clarified where she wanted to
see more landscape buffers.
Meli Acevedo wanted to get clarity on the sale of the property to the City of Phoenix.
Mr. Tate and Austin Kates, with The NRP Group, clarified the process to take
advantage of a GPLET. Ms. Acevedo also had concerns about the trees which provided
shade and she wanted to see if there was an ability for residents to re-purpose shade
trees since she felt they were badly needed in the area. Mr. Tate explained they wanted
to keep as many for their own project and salvage the remaining trees.
Joe Barba wanted to make the trees available to Maryvale residents.
Cindy Alonzo wanted to know what the rates of rent would be for the project.
Chair Derie wanted to see if he understood the proposal correctly and described it as a
private property owner who wished to sell the land so 288 units could be built on it. Mr.
Tate explained if the GPLET would not be involved the applicant would still move
forward with the project, but qualified people would not be able to benefit because of the
reduced rent rate. Chair Derie expressed he thought the applicant was trying to be a
good neighbor to allow the units to be at a more affordable rate. Mr. Tate emphasized
the importance of establishing a redevelopment area in this part of the city and to be
able to utilize the GPLET.
Warren Norgaard asked about the project’s timeline. Mr. Tate and Mr. Kates
described the timeline.
Meli Acevedo mentioned she saw on The NRP website that they develop and manage
properties. Mr. Tate said the plan is to manage the property too. Ms. Acevedo asked if

Maryvale Village Planning Committee
Meeting Summary
Z-53-24-7
The NRP Group had developed other projects in Phoenix. Mr. Tate said they developed
properties in Phoenix in the past and would be doing more.
Chris Demarest asked of the likelihood of the development backing out. Mr. Tate
indicated that they were working so closely with the Economic Development
Department and with the GPLET a development agreement would be needed,
identifying a timeline.
Mr. Demarest also had a question about the access to 69th Avenue. Mr. Tate said the
only people who would have access to open the gate would be the property
management, fire and police departments.
Mr. Barba loved the fact they were keeping some of the landscaping and would love to
see an approach to see if can offer trees to residents. Mr. Tate said they were working
with upper management for guidance on this.
Lupita Galaviz felt this project would be good for Phoenix and the community.
Chair Derie asked about the bus pad. Mr. Tate described the location of the bus pad
and how it would have direct access for people living at the project.
Public Comments:
Teresa Vazquez noted she was a neighbor of the property and indicated she was
happy they would widen the road. Ms. Vazquez expressed concerns with problems of
scorpions and snakes and was concerned what will happen with them when the
development commences. Mr. Tate said they could do some level of pest control before
the landscape and salvage takes place. Ms. Vazquez recommended approval of the
project.
Angel Colin, neighbor, said all his questions were answered.
Valeria, neighbor, shared concerns with the proposed building height and privacy.
Mr. Tate said the front doors of the units would face inward on the property and there
would be no balconies. Valeria also asked about access from 69th Avenue. Mr. Tate
said it would only be used for emergency purposes.
Floor/Public Discussion Closed: Committee Discussion and Vote:
Motion:
Joe Barba motioned to recommend approval of Z-53-24-7, per the staff
recommendation with an additional stipulation that prior to initiating landscape inventory
and salvage the applicant shall complete pest control and mitigation on the subject site.
Warren Norgaard seconded the motion.
Chair Derie noted the total would now be 36 stipulations.

From: Racelle Escolar, AICP
Principal Planner
Subject: ITEM NO. 3 (Z-53-24-7) – SOUTHWEST CORNER OF 69TH AVENUE
AND THOMAS ROAD
The purpose of this memo is to recommend a modification and deletions of stipulations
in response to updated comments received from the Street Transportation Department
and the Maryvale Village Planning Committee (VPC) recommendation.
Rezoning Case No. Z-53-24-7 is a request to rezone 10.75 acres located at the
southwest corner of 69th Avenue and Thomas Road from S-1 (Ranch or Farm
Residence) and R1-6 (Single-Family Residence District) to R-4 (Multifamily Residence
District) to allow multifamily residential.
The Maryvale VPC heard this request on November 13, 2024, and recommended
approval, per the staff recommendation, with an additional stipulation (Stipulation No.
36) by a vote of 10-1.
On December 4, 2024, the Street Transportation Department, at the request of the
applicant, provided revised stipulation language to allow for the dedication of a right-of-
way easement along Thomas Road, and to delete a stipulation regarding relocation of
SRP facilities. Staff recommends that Stipulation No. 7 be deleted, and Stipulation No. 8
be modified to reflect those comments.
Staff recommends that Stipulation No. 36 be removed due to the lack of enforceability.
The Landscape Team with the Planning and Development Department commented that
they do not have a mechanism to verify that the applicant has completed the pest
control mitigation prior to approving and permitting the inventory and salvage plan.
Requiring completion of pest control and mitigation prior to landscape inventory and
salvage is outside of the typical scope of review for the landscape review staff.
Staff recommends approval, per the modified stipulations in bold font below:
1. The landscape setbacks along 69th Avenue and Thomas Road shall be
planted with minimum 2-inch caliper, large canopy, drought-tolerant, shade
trees, planted 20 feet on center, or in equivalent groupings, as approved by the
Planning and Development Department.
2. Evergreen trees shall be planted within the west landscape setback, adjacent
to Building No. 7 and Building No. 9, and the south landscape setback adjacent
