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)
I support this agenda item. We need to move past the baseless and prejudicial claim that affordable rental housing will bring unsafe conditions and crime to our community. The claim is not true. Phoenix is a place for opportunity for all, whether you rent or own. Single family rentals will bring more people to a growing community, and is the highest value option for this land. Building a community starts with welcoming new members. They can build something now instead of leaving the land unused.
Deny the PUD. Keep the parcels separate and upgrade to the existing Zoning
North Parcel - Rezone to a clean C-2 BAOD MUA. Drop all the stipulations and legally on the C-2 parcel such that it can be developed unencumbered moving forward. Not to exceed 126 total units. GPA change to Commercial MUA.
South Parcel - Rezone from S-1 to R1-18 BAOD MUA. This would is upgrade to the land from 1 du/acre to 2.34 du/acre. Not to exceed 24 total units. GPA change to 2-3.5 du/acre-Traditional Lot MUA.
My name is Rilee and I am in favor, I do not wish to speak.

My comment from #71 applies to this one too. I urge the council to deny the companion rezoning case.

The proposed rezoning does not help the residents around and would only increase problems with traffic, noise, and pollution to the area.
