The amount of residents this development would add would make our properties values drop and contest and already impacted location especially when spring training is underway and games are going on the stadium.
A smaller scale development would be more reasonable and appropriate for this area.
There are many locations on the east side of PIMA for such a development.

South Scottsdale is being ruined with ugly box units and destroying the Skyline. You should reverse the "South of McDowell," high rise zone change. Traffic, traffic, traffic.

There are already too many apartments in the area, too much traffic congestion. It's already difficult to get onto Hayden from Osborn, if you need to make a left hand turn. If we were to lose Uncle Sals restaurant, we would be losing a neighborhood treasure. Please vote NO

You need to reconsider the effect of the water situation created by this increase of units, the traffic it has on the area and the loss of another quality area in Scottsdale!

Let's save our businesses in South Scottsdale. The over building of apartments is going to ruin our community.

Dear Decision Makers:
Please don't approve this project. This is the wrong project for the wrong area.
The greenbelt is what we should be protecting - not making the surrounding area denser!

Approving this project will reflect that the current City Council and the Planning Commission will rubber stamp yet another developer's project with no regard for the residents of Scottsdale. This project benefits the developers and investors, not the community. The proposed doubling of the density and building height, increased traffic and decreased commercial resources in the Greenbelt opens the door for additional projects that continue to diminish the unique character of our precious city. PLEASE think of the neighborhood and long term impact of approving this proposal and vote NO to change the zoning of this property for the developers and investors. Thank you for your consideration.

A roundabout is a hazard for the number of n/s lanes on a major city artery. Vehicular traffic on and off the property is too restricted for the number of vehicles expected for the population of a complex of the proposed density.

There have been so many apartments and other high density complexes built in the southern Scottsdale area lately. McDowell looks like a canyon with all the buildings. I don't feel that the area around Hayden and Osborn is suitable for similar buildings. There are already so many apartments in the general area and the loss of the available commercial sites is not acceptable.

There is no room for the people or the traffic that this would incur. There is no benefit to this build.

As an Arizona native, home owner, and full time resident of Scottsdale Estates, I ask you to not approve this build. The recent surge in residential construction is a burden on the roads, police, fire, water supply and other residents. These new ‘homes’ are not built to attract long term residents and they cause over congestion.
The only motivation I see is financial, for both the developer and the city, but what good are increased tax dollars when the quality of life in the area declines instead of improves?
I’ve seen what development has done to northern Tempe and its not enjoyable for most people that have been there a long time. As the petition says, there are already jobs like this in the queue. PLEASE HIT THE PAUSE BUTTON on the residential development that is destroying the town we love.

Please do not add more traffic and density to this area or any area of Old Scottsdale. The traffic is awful now and the roadwork is constant because as soon as the road is repaired it is worn out because of the high volume of traffic. All of the beautiful views are being taken away from citizens who have lived here for decades. The high rise boxes being built are painful to the eye. Scottsdale is no longer the "West's Most Western Town' it is a crowded parking lot.

Overbuild is a concern. so many units going up in scottsdale. stress on the grid. Quality of life to families being threatened. The loss of character to the area. too many ticky tacky boxes. Loss of views! Greenbelt needs to be developed for public access, not private residences! Get creative and stop with the generic apartments/condos.
We have enough apartments and to much traffic
