Dear Neighbors,

Many of you know that a developer purchased the lot at 9455 N 26th Street, Phoenix, AZ 85028 in 2020. This is the empty lot east of 26th Street off of the SR 51 Highway adjacent to Hope Bible Church.

There is a zoning hearing scheduled with the City of Phoenix on April 17th at 10AM. Signing this petition acknowledges that you live within the surrounding neighborhood and object to the new zoning changes being requested by the developers, H&H Developers, Inc.

The developer is again attempting to change the existing zoning and there are 2 key concerns of the neighborhood.

1.) As of now the plot of land is zoned for single-story homes not to exceed a maximum of 20 feet in height. The neighborhood fought very hard over many years to put the current stipulations in place in order to protect the quaint aesthetic of our mountain view neighborhood and to ensure single-story low-profile homes that fit in with the neighborhood.

The new zoning proposed would drop the current stipulation requiring only single-story homes to be built and instead allow for 5 of the 7 homes to now be two-story with a height of 22 feet. The majority of these two-story homes would back up to 26th Street.

2.) The developer is also attempting to get the stipulation dropped that would require sewer mitigation treatment to be put in place to eliminate potential sewer odors. This is a real concern because this is a lower elevation point of the neighborhood and surrounding areas already suffer from occasional sewer odor.

In conclusion, if new zoning is approved the new homes will be high-profile two-story homes with a block-shape which will be exacerbated by how close together the homes will be. This will impede views and not fit in with the current houses in the surrounding area. Additionally, there will be no requirement for sewer mitigation treatment to help control sewer smells.

The neighborhood has always supported the lot being developed but want the current stipulations to be enforced so the feel is in keeping with the rest of the neighborhood.

See below for to view rezoning application along with details of their development plan.

9601 N 26th St Our Property is directly next to these lots. I object to building any 2 story homes here. The zoning for single story homes and sewer mitigation is appropriate. Two story homes will block views from our yard and were one of the reasons we recently purchased in this neighborhood. I am against ANY type of homes that will have negative impact on property values. Single Family/Single story homes are appropriate.

I object to the new zoning changes. The zoning for single story homes and required sewer mitigation treatment is appropriate for the land and no changes are warranted and would not provide value to the neighborhood.

2424 E Mountain View Road I live very close to this lot. Only one story homes exist in the immediate area ( East if 26th st) As a resident I would like to keep the sightline and not disrupt it with 2 story homes.

I grew up in this neighborhood and am now a homeowner in it. It has always been a Phoenix hidden gem with the serene mountain scapes and quaint atmosphere of ranch style homes. My Grandmother fought alongside the neighborhood for many years to put the current zoning stipulations in place in order to preserve this special place. I do not support changes to the existing stipulations as the current ones have the best interest of the surrounding neighbors and community in mind.

I have lived in the neighborhood for 45 years and strongly believe it is important not to overload our existing sewer system and not to change the the height restrictions we, who live here, have had to abide by in order to maintain the population density and character of our neighborhood.

Stick with the approved 2017 stipulations as sent by Adam Grant of City of Phoenix. NO Two Story houses and no parking on 26th Street. Plus sewer lift and smell mitigation
