ADOPTED AREA PLANS, STUDIES, AND POLICIES 
6. 
Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan: 
The City of Phoenix adopted the Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan in 2014 to 
guide the development of its Bikeway System and supportive infrastructure. The 
Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan supports options for both short- and long-
term bicycle parking as a means of promoting bicyclist traffic to a variety of 
destinations. Stipulation No.9 requires bicycle parking to be installed per the 
requirements in the city’s Walkable Urban (WU) Code. 
7. 
Shade Phoenix Plan: 
The Shade Phoenix Plan has a goal of treating the urban forest as infrastructure 
to ensure that trees are an integral part of the city’s planning and development 
process. By investing in trees and the urban forest, the city can reduce its carbon 
footprint, decrease energy costs, reduce storm water runoff, increase 
biodiversity, address the urban heat island effect, clean the air, and increase 
property values. In addition, trees can help to create walkable streets and vibrant 
pedestrian places. Staff recommends robust tree planting standards including: 
• Planting the Northern Avenue streetscape with minimum 2-inch caliper, 
single-trunk, large canopy, drought-tolerant, shade trees, planted 20 feet on 
center or in equivalent groupings on both sides of the sidewalk to achieve a 
minimum of 75 percent shade. 
• Planting the Northern Avenue streetscape with a minimum of five 5-gallon 
drought-tolerant shrubs per tree and a mixture of drought-tolerant shrubs,

Staff Report: Z-72-25-6 
August 8, 2025 
Page 8 of 13 
 
 
accents, and vegetative groundcovers, maintained to a height of two feet, 
evenly distributed throughout the landscape areas to achieve a minimum of 
75 percent live coverage. 
• The use of shade structures, trees, or landscaping to achieve 75 percent 
shade at bicycle parking areas and pedestrian pathways. 
These are addressed in Stipulations No. 4 and 11. 
8. 
Transportation Electrification Action Plan: 
In June 2022, the Phoenix City Council approved the Transportation 
Electrification Action Plan. The current market desire for the electrification of 
transportation is both a national and global phenomenon, fueled by a desire for 
better air quality, a reduction in carbon emissions, and a reduction in vehicle 
operating and maintenance costs. Businesses, governments and the public are 
signaling strong future demand for electric vehicles (EVs), and many automobile 
manufacturers have declared plans for a transition to fully electric offerings within 
the coming decade. This Plan contains policy initiatives to prepare the City for a 
future filled with more EVs, charging infrastructure and e-mobility equity, and 
outlines a roadmap for a five-step plan to prepare for the EV infrastructure needs 
of 280,000 EVs in Phoenix by 2030. One goal of the Plan, to accelerate public 
adoption of electric vehicles through workplace, business, and multifamily 
charging infrastructure, is to recommend standard stipulations for rezoning cases 
to provide EV charging infrastructure. This is addressed in Stipulations No. 8 and 
10.  
9. 
Conservation Measures for New Development: 
In June 2023, the Phoenix City Council adopted the Conservation Measures for 
New Development policy as part of a resolution addressing the future water 
consumption of new development (Resolution 22129). This resolution addresses 
the future water consumption of new development to support one of the City’s 
Five Core Values in the General Plan which calls for Phoenix to - Build the 
Sustainable Desert City. The Conservation Measures for New Development 
policy includes direction to develop standards for consideration as stipulations for 
all rezoning cases that will address best practices related to water usage in nine 
specific categories. This is addressed in Stipulations No. 12 through 15. 
10. 
Phoenix Climate Action Plan: 
In October 2021, the Phoenix City Council approved the Climate Action Plan. 
The Climate Action Plan will serve as a long-term plan to achieve greenhouse 
gas emission reductions and resiliency goals from local operations 
and community activities as well as prepare for the impacts of climate change. 
This plan contains policy and initiatives regarding stationary energy, 
transportation, waste management, air quality, local food systems, heat, and 
water. Goal W2 (Water), Action W2.4, pertains to the implementation of the

Staff Report: Z-72-25-6 
August 8, 2025 
Page 9 of 13 
 
 
Greater Phoenix Green Infrastructure (GI) and Low Impact Development Details 
for Alternative Stormwater Management to benefit the environment, promote 
water conservation, reduce urban heat, improve the public health, and create 
additional green spaces. This goal is addressed in Stipulation No. 15, which 
requires a minimum of two GI techniques for stormwater management to be 
implemented. 
11. 
Complete Streets Guidelines: 
In 2014, the City of Phoenix City Council adopted the Complete Streets Guiding 
Principles. The principles are intended to promote improvements that provide an 
accessible, safe, connected transportation system to include all modes, such as 
bicycles, pedestrians, transit, and vehicles. 
Stipulation No. 2 requires pavement treatments that visually contrast parking and 
drive aisles where pedestrian walkways cross a vehicular path to enhance 
pedestrian safety. Additionally, all streets will be improved with all required 
elements and comply with ADA accessibility standards, as required by Stipulation 
Nos. 6 and 7. 
COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY 
12. 
As of the writing of this report, staff has received two items in opposition to the 
request citing incompatibility with the neighborhood, decrease in property values, 
and traffic onto 17th Street. 
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 
13. 
The Street Transportation Department has the following requirements:  
• Shared access to the property to the south to be memorialized through an 
easement (Stipulation No. 3). 
• Six-foot detached sidewalk with 10-foot planting strip along Northern 
Avenue (Stipulation No. 4). 
• Mitigation improvements per the Traffic Impact Analysis (Stipulation No. 
5). 
• Replace unused driveways with sidewalk, curb, and gutter (Stipulation No. 
6). 
• Replace any broken or out-of-grade curb, gutter, sidewalk, and curb 
ramps (Stipulation No. 6). 
• Right-of-way improvements to include curb, gutter, detached sidewalk, 
landscaping, etc. (Stipulation No. 7).

OTHER 
14. 
The site is located in a larger area identified as being archaeologically sensitive. 
If further review by the City of Phoenix Archaeology Office determines the site 
and immediate area to be archaeologically sensitive, and if no previous 
archaeological projects have been conducted within this project area, it is 
recommended that archaeological Phase I data testing of this area be conducted. 
Phase II archaeological data recovery excavations may be necessary based 
upon the results of the testing. A qualified archaeologist must make this 
determination in consultation with the City of Phoenix Archaeologist. In the event 
archaeological materials are encountered during construction, all ground 
disturbing activities must cease within a 33-foot radius of the discovery and the 
City of Phoenix Archaeology Office must be notified immediately and allowed 
time to properly assess the materials. This is addressed in Stipulations No. 16 
through 18. 
15. 
Staff has not received a completed form for the Waiver of Claims for Diminution 
in Value of Property under Proposition 207 (A.R.S. 12-1131 et seq.), as required 
by the rezoning application process. Therefore, a stipulation has been added to 
require the form be completed and submitted prior to final site plan approval. This 
is addressed in Stipulation No. 19. 
16. 
Development and use of the site are subject to all applicable codes and 
ordinances. Zoning approval does not negate other ordinance requirements. 
Other formal actions such as, but not limited to, zoning adjustments and 
abandonments may be required.

My Name is James(Jim) Jackson.  I reside at 1632 E El Camino Dr Phx.  Regarding the
subject applications:  
I have little concern with the office space proposed, however, I have significant objections to
the proposed self storage facility. The self storage is inappropriate at that location. There are
no other similar "industrial"structures in the area.  
I believe the storage facility would be an eyesore, and impact the value of existing residences
in the area.     
Regards,
James Jackson

My name is William Skalak. My wife, Elizabeth, and I live at 1619 E El Camino Dr. Phoenix
AZ 85020. Jim Jackson is my neighbor across the street.  Mr. Jackson provided me with a
copy of his June 26, 2025 email re this application. I oppose the application for the
reasons Mr. Jackson stated.
Also, I noticed that, according to the drawing all vehicle access to and from the storage
is on 17th Street close to Northwest corner of the property. This will likely add quite a bit
of vehicle traffic on 17th Street. It stands to reason that much of the to and from traffic
will take place on Griswold Between 17 Street and 18th Street which is entirely
residential. 
Thank you for your consideration.
