127 (CONTINUED FROM MAY 19, 2021) - Public Hearing and Ordinance Adoption - Amend City Code - Rezoning Application Z-56-20-4 - Southeast Corner of 3rd Avenue and Coolidge Street (Ordinance G-6853)
Since 1991(for 30 years) my family has endured limited egress to home with the canal to the south and light rail development to the east and north; we are essentially land-locked. To increase residential density in the middle of a historic residential neighborhood seems counterproductive and it’s motivation undoubtedly suspect. I strongly oppose upzoning PUD Case Z-56-20.
The proposed complex is in the Pierson Place Historic District, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. A complex like this does not belong here. Although we realize it cannot be stopped entirely, we are asking that the R5 Zoning be retained. Residents have worked very hard to develop this neighborhood and make it a highly desirable community. Please support US, homeowners and residents of this Phoenix neighborhood, and NOT the out-of-state real estate developers!
This corner is unique in that it does not have direct access to any major arterial streets and is land locked within a residential neighborhood. Residents cannot go south from the complex due to the canal and cannot go east because of light rail. In addition, most of the surrounding residential streets are not full width and make two-way traffic difficult because of the street parking (and dangerous for cyclists on the Sonoran Bikeway). Please retain the R5 Zoning in our historic neighborhood!
Why as long term residents must we continue to fight this type of development in our neighborhood. This type of development does not belong in our neighborhood. It belongs at main arteries of Phoenix not inside neighborhoods. We already have enough apartments inside the neighborhood. We are asking that we get the 20 ft setback. I do not think that is too much to ask!
Please do not rezone this corner and instead keep R5 zoning. The proposed 27% increase in units only adds to the existing traffic issues and will cause parking problems already experienced due to Brophy & Central High school parking off campus. This property is "road locked" to the south by the Grand Canal which forces traffic on to residential roads to either Camelback, 7th Ave or busy Central where the only outlet west is Camelback or Indian School due to High Schools and Indian Steel Park.
