Dear Zoning Commissioners
We are writing to comment on Sunrise Home, LLC submitted application to amend the City Zoning
Map on approximately 40 acres for the establishment of a zoning designation of multiple
zones including R-1, R-2, R-3, and PLI conjunction with an annexation request for a property
addressed at 3849 Staffanson Road, Application 20365.
While considering the Zone Map Amendment Project Narrative we have the following concerns:
1) WILL THE NEW ZONING SECURE SAFETY FROM FIRE AND OTHERDANGERS? HOW?
The two currently allowed accesses, Staffanson Rd. and Loyal Drive will force all emergency access
through only the NW portion of the subdivision. Emergency access to just one side of the subdivision is
not intuitive. In addition, Loyal Drive, with the 22' pinch points in the road, would not be able to handle
emergency traffic properly.
2) WILL THE NEW ZONING PROMOTE PUBLIC HEALTH, PUBLIC SAFETY ANDGENERAL WELFARE? HOW?
One of the main accesses to the property surrounds the playground/park in Loyal Gardens on two sides.
The traffic that will be created surrounding the park is unsafe for children and families who cross the
street to access the park. The playground/park was built to be accessed by crossing a small street, not by
crossing a road with traffic from 2 major subdivisions.
3) WILL THE NEW ZONING HAVE AN EFFECT ON MOTORIZED AND NON-MOTORIZED TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS? HOW?
The currently allowed accesses, Loyal Drive and Stephason Road, are inadequate to access a
subdivision with the proposed zoning. Loyal Drive, with 22' pinch points, was not built to accommodate
the type of traffic that will be created by the proposed zoning. The entry on to Cottonwood from Loyal,
also was not designed for this type of traffic volume. A traffic Impact Analysis should be done to
determine the viability fo using the proposed accesses prior to considering the proposed zoning.
Clearly, a major traffic artery to Huffine needs to be created to disburse the traffic of R1 or denser zoning.
Considering that this property lacks main arteries, the proposed zoning is not viable, and should be
delayed until a proper atrial road access is constructed.
Thank you,
Jim and Nikki Robbins
