Agenda Item
72 Public Hearing and Ordinance Adoption - Rezoning Application Z-35-20-8 - Approximately 340 Feet West of the Southwest Corner of 40th Street and Southern Avenue (Ordinance G-6841)
Please Deny this proposal. I cannot support this rezoning. The applicant, who is not from the community, has largely ignored the concerns of the community that will be directly impacted. This project is simply a way for special interests to make money off of the people of South Phoenix without benefiting them.
I am in opposition to this general plan amendment. The community does not want it! I will be a very angry citizen if you allow gentrification of this community!
Deny this PUD or provide a Continuance to allow time to remedy the PUD. In the alternate, upgrade the conventional zoing. This PUD is inferior to Conventional Zoning: Density is too high (for the lower 10 acres), Density Transition is inappropriate to the district, the Certainty and Character of the community is compromised (preserving *most* of the district standards is not the same as preserving *all* of the district standards) and this PUD would set a negative precedent for the area.
Please deny! This neighbourhood has already 8 high density complexes in 2 miles , this plan is not following the baseline master plan.This is not a plan for affordable housing this is a money maker for the developer. look up this housing years later after construction , its has nothing to do with well maintained beautiful affordable housing
DENY - Anyone who thinks this is single family homes is lost in the intentional maze created by the attorney. THIS is an apartment complex, period. This is discrimination on people who want to live in a "home" in south Phoenix. Why has South Phoenix become the dumping grounds for all apartment complexes? Give the people who want to live in South Phoenix a place to live, that is NOT in an apartment complex! This project was denied by SMVPC for a reason, it does not follow the original planning.
As a neighbor who will be directly impacted by the project, I oppose this proposal because it does not support the vision of the Mixed-Use Agricultural Overlay that was created to preserve the unique heritage of this area. The density for this project is not fitting for the lot and I have concerns about the long term viability of the Single Family Rental housing type that is proposed by this project.
I am in support of 71&72. This will be a great complex for young families starting out and will improve the area and generate more affordable housing for Phoenix residents.
Deny GPA SM - 1-20-8. This project has too high density and after multiple attempts with the project owners to negotiate, density has yet to be amended. There are already over 8 high density properties (apartments/condos/townhomes) within 2 miles of this proposed project and two more in development.
Deny and STOP the abandonment of the little MUA that is left in this city.
Please deny. We don’t need another high density complex in his area , it has no valid site plan , falsified Information and is not follow the general plan . Can we finally plan on a healthy food store maybe ? Instead of building more complexes but not providing enough resources for healthy food or even grocery stores at all .
This project is NOT in keeping with the land use and zoning as outlined in the Baseline Master Plan and it will not be a compliment to the area.
This does not provide affordable housing and is simply a cash cow for the developer. This not a race issue. This is a zoning issue for a very vulnerable area.
Support 100 %. We are in need of more housing in our community. This project brings that and decent, worthy homes for families to rent. Please approve 71 & 72
I absolutely support this project! It will transform a dirt lot into a beautifully maintained community of single-family homes, with plenty of open space and amenities for residents (A pool, community garden, dog park, etc.)! The plan also includes plenty of parking for residents, as well as plants, flowers, and trees to bring new life to this otherwise desolate patch of land.
I support this development and think that it will bring more beautiful, affordable housing to Phoenix. We need to stop the prejudice that affordable rental housing brings crime - it brings in new, diverse community members and is a benefit to the economy. It is a wonderful residential community that fulfills the need for more housing in Phoenix during the housing shortage.
Recommendation: DENIAL, with a concession to the landowners whereby the land could receive upgraded zoning that would be both more marketable and more developable than current, but within the guidance of the existing planning.
Significant time and effort has been placed, by dozens of South Phoenix residents, into constructing the plans for the South Phoenix area. And more specifically to the Baseline Corridor.
A FANTASTIC development that's been approved by the City of Phoenix Planning Department and City of Phoenix Planning commission. A beautifully designed, residential housing community for people to live in, Retired people, professionals, families, the single mom or dad, or single people. This development gives them all a nice home to live in, with all the amenities to enjoy and none of the maintenance. Let's all join together in urging the City of Phoenix to give the final approval for this.
I support this rezoning application. Improving the existing empty dirt lot by allowing for affordable single family homes is a welcome change. All too often we see high density multistory apartment complexes as the only affordable option for families looking for a place to call home. This is a timely project as Arizona is dealing with a massive shortage of housing inventory. As a third generation Arizonan, I enjoy seeing projects that will beautify our city while fulfilling a practical need.

Please deny Z 35 20 8. MF proposal has not submitted a valid site plan, has falsified support petitions, has ignored General Plan.

My Position: OPPOSED, due to High Density change
Recommendation: DENIAL, with a concession to the landowners whereby the land could receive upgraded zoning that would be both more marketable and more developable than current, but within the guidance of the existing planning.

Stop it here! Stop it now!

I support this development. This empty lot can be put to good use for the community, and people need affordable housing!
I am in favor and hope to see these beautiful new homes come to life during a time where AZ has a large need for affordable housing. I support!
