3. 
Transit Oriented Development Strategic Policy Framework 
 
The Transit Oriented Development Strategic Policy Framework is part of the City’s 
General Plan which identified planning typologies to describe urban environments. 
The subject site is within a quarter-mile of the 12th Street / Washington / Jefferson 
light rail stations. The identified environment for the station is Major Urban Center, 
applicable to an area within one quarter mile of the station and along arterial 
streets. Major Urban Center is a place type characterized by medium to high 
intensity with building heights typically from four to eight stories with incentive 
heights of up to 15 stories. Land uses may include destination retail and

Staff Report: Z-2-25-8 
August 4, 2025 
Page 6 of 17 
 
entertainment, mid rise living, and office employment. The proposed 10-story 
multifamily development aligns with the incentive height of the Major Urban Center 
place type. Per Stipulation No. 1, to utilize the incentive height of the Major Urban 
Center Place Type the proposal shall provide a mix of residential and non-
residential uses and provide a minumum of one of the following:  
1. A minimum of 30 percent of housing units are dedicated for long-term 
affordability for low income households, as approved by the Housing 
Department.  
2. A minimum of 30 percent of the gross site area is provided as public open 
space, as approved by the Parks Department. 
3. A Deed of Conservation easement is dedicated for an eligible historic 
property, as approved by the Historic Preservation Officer. 
4. A proportionate in-lieu fee is paid for affordable housing, parks, public 
parking, or other infrastructure, as approved by the City.

Eastlake-Garfield Transit Oriented Development Policy Plan 
 
The site is located within the Eastlake-Garfield TOD Policy Plan area, the 
boundaries for which are State Route 143 or the Hohokam Expressway to the east, 
Interstate 10 to the north and east, 7th Street to the west, and the Union Pacific

Railroad to the south. The 
policy plan adopted for the 
Eastlake-Garfield TOD District 
provides a blueprint for fully 
achieving the transformative 
potential of light rail in a 
sustainable manner. Changes 
advocated in the plan can 
lower transportation costs for 
residents, create new business 
opportunities, encourage 
active, healthy lifestyles, 
ensure Phoenix increases its 
competitive advantage in the 
global marketplace, and 
improve prosperity by growing 
the economy in locations with 
existing infrastructure and 
public services. In order to 
realize the implementation of 
the Vision and Master Plan for 
the Eastlake-Garfield TOD 
District, one key 
recommendation is the 
implementation of a form-based zoning code.  
 
The proposal to Walkable Urban Code furthers that vision. The proposed T5:7 
transect allows mixed-use development, including multifamily residential, retail and 
services, and office uses. Multifamily residential is consistent with the master plan 
land use map, which identifies the site for multifamily residential development.

PROPOSAL 
6. 
Site Plan 
 
The proposed T5:7 District is described as a medium-high-intensity urban mixed-
use fabric characterized by a broad mix of buildings that integrate retail, offices, 
live-work, and residential units adjacent to the light rail corridor, with up to 15 
stories in incentive height. As shown on the conceptual site plan, attached as an 
exhibit, the proposed development will be a 10-story, 160-unit multifamily 
development with frontage adjacent to Madison Street and 13th Street, with one 
below grade level and two above grade levels of structured parking for a total of 
120 spaces. The proposal will include vehicular access driveways on both street 
frontages and pedestrian entrances to the building along both frontages, using the 
storefront frontage type. Additionally, the site plan depicts a pool, pickleball court, 
dog park, and BBQ area on the roof above the 10th floor, a running track and 
seating area on the roof above the second floor, a bike room that includes a bike 
repair station, outdoor guest bike parking on 13th Street, a trash loading area, and 
detached sidewalks along both street frontages. 
 
In order to achieve the 
incentive height of the 
place type, activate the 
street frontages, and 
fulfill the mixed-use 
vision of this location 
described in the TOD 
Strategic Policy 
Framework, staff 
recommends 
Stipulation No. 1.a to 
require a minimum of 
1,500 square feet of 
ground floor non-
residential uses. The site plan depicts the location of a café/self service 
convenience store and a covered area with seating, a ticket transit sales machine, 
art, and landscaping located along the 13th Street frontage.  
 
Additionally, to utilize the incentive height of the Major Urban Center Place Type, 
staff recommends Stipulation No. 1.b to require that the proposal provide a 
minumum of one of the following:

STUDIES AND POLICIES 
8. 
Housing Phoenix Plan 
In June 2020, the Phoenix City Council approved the Housing Phoenix Plan. This 
Plan contains policy initiatives for the development and preservation of housing 
with the vision of creating a stronger and more vibrant Phoenix through increased 
housing options for residents at all income levels and family sizes.  Phoenix’s rapid 
population growth and housing underproduction has led to a need for over 163,000 
new housing units. Current shortages of housing supply relative to demand are a 
primary reason why housing costs are increasing.  
 
The proposed development supports the Plan’s goal of preserving or creating 
50,000 housing units by 2030 by providing housing that will address the supply 
shortage at a more rapid pace while using vacant or underutilized land in a more 
sustainable fashion. 
 
 
9. 
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 short-term bicycle parking as a 
means of promoting bicyclist traffic to a variety of destinations.  
 
To create a bike-supportive environment for residents, bicycle infrastructure is 
incorporated into the proposed project. Staff recommends Stipulation No. 2 which 
will require guest and secure residential bicycle parking, electric bicycle charging 
facilities, and a bicycle repair station to be provided on site. 
 
 
10. 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 recommends a standard stipulation for rezoning cases to provide EV 
charging infrastructure. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 3 which requires a 
minimum 10 percent of the required parking spaces to be EV Installed and 
Stipulation No. 2.d which requires a minimum of ten percent of required bicycle 
parking spaces include electric receptacles for electric bike charging.

Staff Report: Z-2-25-8 
August 4, 2025 
Page 12 of 17 
 
 
 
11. Shade Phoenix Plan 
In November 2024, the Phoenix City Council adopted the Shade Phoenix Plan. The 
Shade Phoenix Plan prioritizes increasing shade coverage throughout the City to 
improve health and quality of life. Investing in shade can address the urban heat 
island effect, clean the air, preserve Sonoran vegetation, and prevent health 
complications related to prolonged exposure to heat. The Shade Phoenix Plan 
provides numerous strategies to increase shade including expanding and 
maintaining existing shade, strengthening tree code enforcement, and developing 
shade stipulations in rezoning cases.  
 
The proposal, per the Eastlake-Garfield Character Area, will create a comfortable 
streetscape environment with a shaded detached sidewalk along 13th Street and 
Madison Street. 
 
 
12. Complete Streets Guidelines  
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. The proposed development, as 
stipulated, will support walking, bicycling, and transit use by including a shaded 
detached sidewalk along 13th Street and Madison Street, bicycle infrastructure, 
and activated frontages. These are addressed in Stipulation No. 2 and the 
Walkable Urban Code.  
 
 
13. Zero Waste PHX  
The City of Phoenix is committed to its waste diversion efforts and has set a goal to 
become a zero waste city, as part of the city’s overall 2050 Environmental 
Sustainability Goals. One of the ways Phoenix can achieve this is to improve and 
expand its recycling and other waste diversion programs.  
 
Section 716 of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance establishes standards to encourage 
the provision of recycling containers for multifamily, commercial, and mixed-use 
developments meeting certain criteria. The applicant’s submittals indicated that 
recycling services will be provided. 
 
 
14. 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 
emissions 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 Greater Phoenix Metro Green 
Infrastructure (GI) and Low Impact Development Details for Alternative Stormwater

Staff Report: Z-2-25-8 
August 4, 2025 
Page 13 of 17 
 
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. 5, which requires a minimum of two GI 
techniques for stormwater management to be implemented in this development. 
 
 
15. 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 Stipulation Nos. 5 through 7. 
 
 
 
COMMUNITY CORRESONDENCE 
16. As of the writing of this report no letters of support or opposition have been 
received for the request.  
 
 
 
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 
17. The Street Transportation Department requested that a maximum of one access 
point be permitted on Madison Street and a maximum of one access point be 
permitted on 13th Street, which is addressed in Stipulation No. 8. Additionally, 
Stipulation No. 9 requires that the developer construct all improvements in the 
right-of-way with all required elements and to ADA standards.  
 
 
18. The City of Phoenix Aviation Department commented that the property owner shall 
record a Notice to Prospective Purchasers of Proximity to Airport in order to 
disclose the existence, and operational characteristics of the Phoenix Sky Harbor 
Airport to future owners or tenants of the property. This is addressed in Stipulation 
No. 4. 
 
 
OTHER 
19. 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

Staff Report: Z-2-25-8 
August 4, 2025 
Page 14 of 17 
 
Office must be notified immediately and allowed time to properly assess the 
materials. These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 10 through 12. 
 
 
20. 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. 13. 
 
 
21. 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.
