Tricia Gomes, deputy director for planning and zoning, told the council the site is 2.59 acres and that staff recommended approval of the rezoning from RE-43 to Commercial Office (CO) per a Feb. 5, 2025 memo from the Planning & Development Department director. The staff report says the site plan shows two medical office buildings with vehicular access proposed along 50 Sixth Street and Shea Boulevard. The planning commission recommended approval by a 6-2 vote and staff’s recommendation included two additional stipulations added in the director’s Feb. 5 memo: adding conceptual building renderings to stipulation 1 and a new stipulation 30 regarding signage.

During the public hearing, several nearby residents spoke both for and against the rezoning. Monica Brooks, who said she owns property eight houses south of the site, asked the council to defer action and cited concerns about the placement of the posted hearing sign and about traffic and an existing school crossing near the site. \"It creates a dangerous traffic situation to an already very busy corridor,\" Brooks said, adding that an ingress/egress point would be close to a stoplight and a children’s school crossing less than 100 feet away.

Several neighbors voiced opposition on similar grounds; Rika Carrotinuto said she has lived on Shea Boulevard since 1989 and said the corridor is already difficult to use. \"It's actually impossible... to get out onto the street,\" she said.

Applicant attorney Jason Morris described the site's history, explained the proposed residential-scaled design and deed restrictions to limit future uses, and said the project's access was designed to limit neighborhood cut-through traffic. \"This use is taking neighborhood residents and bringing them to medical or general offices and services in their neighborhood,\" Morris said. He also noted the design uses the same architect as a previously approved RO project and that the applicant had agreed to residential height, signage limits and additional landscaping standards.

Councilman Waring told the meeting he had received late public contact from residents and asked for more time for neighborhood outreach and individual meetings between council staff, neighbors and the developer. He moved to continue the item to March 5. The motion and second carried and the mayor announced the continuance; the council did not adopt the rezoning at the Feb. 5 hearing.

Armando Felix, who identified himself as the owner/operator of Felix Plaza across the street, told the council he opposes the project because of long-standing traffic and safety problems at the intersection of 30 Ninth Avenue and Grand Avenue. \"The reason I oppose this situation is because I own or operate and have managed for 30 years the shopping center across the street called Felix Plaza,\" Felix said. He described repeated collisions near his buildings and said the project materials did not account for a new bridge on 30 Fifth Avenue.

City planning staff and the applicant said the project will be subject to stipulations and additional traffic review before any site plan approval. Planning staff told the council that \"there are several stipulations associated with this rezoning case that require traffic impact assessments prior to this project getting any type of preliminary approval from the city. That traffic impact assessment will have to be submitted\" and will involve coordination with the Street Transportation Department and the Arizona Department of Transportation.

Ben Graff, representing UMOM (the applicant), said the developer is \"fully committed to the safety of this site\" and noted the site's access is designed to avoid direct entry from Grand Avenue. He said the access is via 30 Ninth Avenue and that the city's review has confirmed the access point is properly distanced from Grand Avenue.

Council members acknowledged safety concerns and pointed to grant-funded work and other planned improvements for Grand Avenue. Councilwoman Stark cited a stipulation (No. 18) that requires a traffic impact analysis with ADOT coordination \"before a site plan is approved,\" telling Mr. Felix that the stipulation should provide comfort that traffic issues must be resolved before construction begins.

The council adopted the item after motions to approve the grama project and related rezoning, with the roll call recorded as a unanimous 9-0 vote. No site-level construction may begin until the traffic analyses and any required mitigation under the stipulations are completed and approved.

The ordinance was read by title and put to a roll call vote after a brief motion to approve the item. The council voted 9-0 to adopt the ordinance, with the clerk noting the ordinance number and that the titles of ordinances and resolutions were available to the public at least 24 hours before the meeting.

City attorneys and staff did not provide extended comment on the ordinance during the meeting; the item was included in a consent-style section of the agenda after council made a blanket motion to approve a group of items and later a separate motion to approve item 25.

The ordinance is recorded as G-7,358 in the council minutes. The council did not identify additional implementation steps on the record during the Feb. 5 session.
