 FAQs

  • A revised plan for a 76-unit mixed-use development with ground-floor commercial space and market-rate rental housing. It replaces a previously proposed 120-unit project when the project started four years ago based on stakeholder feedback.

    • Reduced unit count: from 120 to 76

    • Lower building height: now 56 feet, with improved neighborhood transitions

    • Improved access: now right-in/right-out only on Indian School Road

    • Added buffering & setbacks to better integrate with adjacent homes

    • More open space and landscaping for visual appeal and community benefit

  • No. Even though the City of Phoenix does not require a traffic study for a project of this size, the development team voluntarily conducted one to ensure transparency and community trust.

    Key findings and actions:

    • Minimal traffic impact—the study shows minimal change to neighborhood traffic patterns

    • Right-in/right-out access to Indian School to eliminate dangerous left turns

    • Traffic mitigation strategies coordinated with city engineers to protect residential streets

    • The Phoenix Fire Department has approved the plan with no major concerns

  • No. This is market-rate housing, aimed at teachers, nurses, young professionals, and retirees—not luxury units, and not subsidized. It helps meet Phoenix’s urgent housing demand.

  • Retail and commercial space intended for neighborhood-serving businesses—think coffee shops, local services, and walkable conveniences—not big-box or chains.

    • Architectural design complements nearby styles

    • Height and scale transition respectfully to adjacent single-family homes

    • Landscaping and setbacks ensure privacy

    • A thoughtful infill project that prevents sprawl and supports smart urban growth

  • Yes. Multiple meetings, plan revisions, and feedback sessions over four years have shaped this proposal. Del Pueblo Communities listened and adapted. This project is a result of that dialogue.

  • This site sits along a major corridor with access to transit, services, and jobs. It’s exactly where smart growth should happen—not on the city’s outer edges.

    • The project continues through the City of Phoenix review and public hearing process

    • Residents will be notified and invited to public meetings

    • Your feedback is always welcome—we want this to be a project that adds long-term value to Peters View

Phoenix City Council and Staff,

As a neighborhood resident, I am writing to support the proposed development at 18th Place and Indian School Road.

This lot has remained vacant for years—an underutilized space that has presented more problems than potential. After years of thoughtful engagement with residents and community members, we have a fresh opportunity to transform it into something that adds value to our neighborhood with Del Pueblo Communities.

This project represents a fresh start—bringing new energy to our area with:

● New housing thoughtfully designed to fit our community

● Safer streets with sidewalks, trees, and landscaping

● A layout that respects neighborhood privacy

● Increased property values for surrounding homes

The updated plan also directly responds to concerns raised by neighbors, including:

✔ No on-street parking to keep streets clear

✔ Fewer units, which means less traffic in and out

✔ Buildings pushed farther from homes

✔ More space and shade trees between buildings and neighboring yards.

✔ Provide local neighborhood commercial/startup opportunities.

✔ A commitment to help fund speed humps on 18th Place

✔ A better streetscape with new sidewalks, shade trees, and landscaping

This is an innovative, community-focused project shaped by years of dialogue. It balances neighborhood priorities with long-term improvements for everyone. I strongly support moving forward and urge others to do the same.
