Greenbelt88 - Hayden/Osborn 15-ZN-2020

Please vote no.

Is it the Council's duty to upzone properties to enrich land owners who hire top notch zoning attorneys, OR to represent the interests of the Scottsdale citizens?

This Developer's request is way to much for the area. Please ask them to move further north, WAAAAY North. No more high rise crazy requests.

I am appalled by what is happening to the Hayden corridor in South Scottsdale: One huge apartment/condo complex after another. This is turning a living neighborhood into a BEDROOM STRIP! The Greenbelt88 project falls right into all of the negatives: Too much density of small living spaces, too many cars, elimination of neighborhood character with loss if shopping and service, monster buildings replacing spacious construction… NO! This project IS MAKING THE WHOLE TREND WORSE! City council and mayor, we elected you to STOP the destruction of Scottsdale’s character! Now do it, for goodness sake!!

Any further apartment complexes should be disallowed for at least next 10 years to avoid overbuilt and related issues

We don’t need another luxury apt complex.

This development has not worked with the neighbors in good faith. If you look at what they are proposing the building it self will stand out like a sore thumb it will tower of the entire area. (that is not good design) Please support the neighborhood that has been living this nightmare of a project for two years. Help us put it to rest.

I agree with the comments expressed here so far and would like to add the very real possibility of increased pedestrian accidents. Let us not forget a very popular Phoenix Real Estate investor lost his son on this stretch of road while trying to cross Hayden. https://www.statepress.com/article/2011/09/asu-alumnus-killed-in-hit-and-run There will be attractive retail on the east side of Hayden and more available parking that will tempt the increased foot traffic to cross mid-street. Not one more life is worth more apartments in this area.

I agree with the comments already expressed here. Want to add this tragic reminder of what could very likely happen as the apartment population increases and residents crossing Hayden mid-point (attractive retail will be across street on east side and more available parking). How many more lives could be lost? https://www.statepress.com/article/2011/09/asu-alumnus-killed-in-hit-and-run

City Council Members - do you recall why you were elected?

We have lived and raised our family here in Scottsdale for 30 years. Our city is becoming too crowded and too expensive. Increasing the building height will only make Scottsdale worse and a less desirable place to live and raise a family.

No more apartments We do not have the roads or infrastructure for the increased population in south Scottsdale

There is also the issue that all these new apartments will put a much greater strain on public safety which is already understaffed.

Please don’t make this change. It is not consistent with the Scottsdale’s best livable city.

Please! Don’t allow this! We will be the next LA in less than 15 years. Thank you.

We don’t need any more overpriced luxury apartments in this area. It’s an eyesore, makes for more car accidents because there are so many cars on the road, will make kids who walk to/from Pima Elementary more at risk of getting hit by a car, and will be more of a detriment than it would be a service to our community. ‘The world’s most western town’ is less and less every day.

Please stop at building apartments. And if you do no more high rise. Thank you

Don't need even small high rises to disrupt the beauty of our green belt area or the increase in congestion.

This project does not belong here.

We already have too many empty apartments on Hayden between McDowell and Chaparral and definitely don't need more traffic which is bad now. Besides we need that shopping center with wide variety of stores. Stop the congestion of Scottsdale. We are not Phoenix and do not want to become one
