Background/Issues/Analysis 
 
SUBJECT SITE 
1. 
This request is to rezone 2.46 acres located approximately 300 feet north of the 
northeast corner of 43rd Avenue and Baseline Road from C-1 (Pending C-2 
HGT/WVR) (Neighborhood Commercial, Pending Intermediate Commercial, 
Height Waiver) to C-2 HGT/WVR SP (Intermediate Commercial, Height Waiver, 
Special Permit) to allow self-service storage and underlying C-2 uses. 
Companion Case Z-69-25-8 is a request to rezone the site from C-1 to C-2 
HGT/WVR for a height waiver. The site was rezoned in 2023 (Z-29-23-7) as part 
of a larger parcel extending to Baseline Road, proposed for future commercial 
development (retail, restaurant, and/or office)  
 
 
SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING  
2.  
The subject site is currently vacant and undeveloped. North of the subject site is 
a drainage channel zoned S-1 PCD (Ranch or Farm Residence, Planned 
Community District). To the west, across 43rd Avenue, are single-family 
residences zoned R1-8 (Single-Family Residence District). The property to the 
east and the majority south of the subject site is vacant land zoned C-1 
(Neighborhood Retail), proposed for multiple restaurants. Just beyond the C-1 
area to the south is a medical clinic zoned C-O (Commercial Office District).

GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION  
3.  
The subject site, as well as the surrounding area to east and south are 
designated Commercial on the General Plan Land Use Map. The drainage 
channel north of the subject site is designated as Residential 0 to 1 dwelling 
units per acre. The property to the west, across 43rd Avenue, is designated as 
Residential 3.5 to 5 dwelling units per acre. The proposed C-2 HGT/WVR zoning 
is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map designation.

PROPOSAL 
4. 
Site Plan  
The conceptual site plan, attached as an exhibit, depicts a 127,662 square foot 
self-service storage warehouse. The subject site will have access via 43rd 
Avenue with future cross access to the commercial property to the south. A 
fenced gated accessway is located along the north, east, and south side of the 
building. The self-service storage warehouse facility consists of “roll-up” self-
service storage units and drive aisle. The conceptual site plan does not meet the 
building setback for three-story buildings or taller on the north portion of the site. 
As a result, staff does not recommend general conformance to the site plan.  
 
 
5.  
Elevations  
The conceptual elevations depict a three-story self-service warehouse building 
with a maximum height of approximately 42 feet to the ridge. The proposed self-
service storage warehouse elevations depict a pre-finished metal panel white 
exterior. The proposed elevations incorporate farmhouse features with black 
metal panels, a decorative cupola on top of the building, dormer-like features on 
the sides of the building, and wood trim doors. As a result, staff recommends 
general conformance to the proposed elevations. This is addressed in Stipulation 
No. 1. Furthermore, staff recommends a maximum building height of 40 feet to

ensure compatibility with the surrounding single-family houses and future 
commercial development. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 2.

SCA design  
 
 
6.  
Special Permit 
Self-service storage facilities are permitted in the C-2 district with a Special 
Permit (Section 647.A.2.i), subject to the following conditions: 
 
 
 
a) All outdoor storage shall be within a closed building. Outdoor storage 
areas shall not exceed 10 percent of the gross site area. 
 
  
 
b) No auctions, sales, services and repair activity shall be conducted on the 
site. 
 
  
 
c) There shall be no storage or use of hazardous or dangerous materials on 
the premises. 
 
  
 
d) The site shall have direct access to an arterial street. 
 
  
 
e) Landscape areas adjacent to residential zones must be a minimum of ten 
feet. 
 
 
 
The proposal meets the above conditions by proposing solely indoor storage on 
the site, and it does not propose to store any hazardous or dangerous materials 
on the premises. Access is provided via 43rd Avenue, an arterial street.

PLANS, OVERLAYS, AND INITIATIVES 
7. 
Laveen Southwest Growth Study: 
The site is located within the 
boundaries of the Laveen Southwest 
Growth Study, which was developed 
in 1997 to analyze the existing 
conditions of the Laveen Village and 
provide a land use and design 
planning framework to help shape 
the growth that Laveen was starting 
to experience, while accounting for 
newly annexed farmland as well as 
the future development of the South 
Mountain Freeway Loop, which has 
since been completed. This plan 
designates the project site as 
Residential 2 to 5 dwelling units per 
acre. Although not consistent with 
the designation, recent land use 
trends in the area, including the PUD 
to the southwest and the recent 
rezoning request to the south and 
east, point to a land use that  
 
supports commercial uses. The Laveen Southwest Growth Study also outlines 
specific design policies and standards for various types of development that will 
enhance Laveen’s built environment while remaining respectful to its agricultural 
heritage. The study encourages all new development to use durable, high quality 
building materials and to provide enhanced building design that will contribute to 
the character of the area. The proposal incorporates modern farmhouse 
architecture and features that will be compatible with the agrarian culture of the 
Laveen Village.  
 
 
8. 
Complete Streets Guiding Principles 
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. To provide a safe pedestrian 
environment staff recommends enhanced pavement treatment for the on-site 
pedestrian walkways that cross vehicular drive aisles. This is addressed in 
Stipulation No. 5. Stipulation No. 12 will help pedestrianize the immediate street 
frontage by replenishing the landscape along the detached sidewalk on 43rd 
Avenue. Furthermore, a multi-use trail is required along 43rd Avenue. The trail 
will allow for numerous forms of alternative transportation such as walking and 
bicycling. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 9. In addition, any street

Staff Report: Z-SP-5-25-8 
August 8, 2025 
Page 8 of 13 
 
 
improvements must comply with City of Phoenix and ADA standards. This is 
addressed in Stipulation No. 13. 
 
 
9. 
Comprehensive Bicycle Master Pan 
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. As stipulated, the proposal will provide bicycle parking per the 
City’s Walkable Urban Code. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 3. 
Furthermore, the development will include receptacles for electric bicycle 
charging capabilities. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 4.  
 
 
10. 
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. Staff recommends stipulations 
designed to provide trees and enhanced shade within the development as 
follows:  
 
• The vehicular entrance along 43rd Avenue shall include a five-foot-wide 
landscape median, planted with a variety of plant materials and a two-inch 
caliper, single-trunk, large canopy, drought tolerant, shade tree 
(Stipulation No. 6);  
• The north landscape setback shall be planted with minimum two-inch 
caliper, large canopy, drought-tolerant, shade trees (Stipulation No. 7);  
• Uncovered surface parking lot area shall be landscaped with minimum 
two-inch, drought tolerant, shade trees or shade structure/s to achieve a 
minimum of 25 percent shade (Stipulation No. 8);  
• The streetscape along 43rd Avenue shall be replenished with two-inch  
caliper, large canopy, drought-tolerant, shade trees (Stipulation No. 12);   
 
 
11. 
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

Staff Report: Z-SP-5-25-8 
August 8, 2025 
Page 9 of 13 
 
 
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 Nos. 4 and 
10.  
 
 
12. 
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. 8, 11, and 12.  
 
 
13. 
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 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. 11, which 
requires a minimum of two GI techniques for stormwater management to be 
implemented if the site is ever redeveloped. 
 
 
14. 
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

Findings 
 
1. 
The proposal will develop vacant property and provide commercial services to 
the surrounding residents.   
 
 
2. 
As stipulated, the proposal supports efforts from various plans and initiatives 
including the Shade Phoenix Plan, Transportation Electrification Action Plan, 
meeting certain criteria. The development narrative states that recycling services 
have not been determined.  
 
 
COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY 
15. 
As of the writing of this report, staff has received two letters of opposition for this 
rezoning application. The stated concerns are an increase in commercial traffic, 
incompatible development, and decreased property values.  
 
 
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 
16. 
The Street Transportation Department has noted that the proposed accessway 
on 43rd Avenue does not meet the required driveway separation of 300 feet from 
the adjacent development’s approved driveway. The development is encouraged 
to use right in/right out access along 43rd Avenue or obtain a cross-access 
easement to the property to the south. The Street Transportation Department 
has requested that the streetscape along 43rd Avenue be replenished with 
shade trees. Furthermore, all street improvements must comply with City and 
ADA standards. These are addressed in Stipulation No. 12 and 13.  
 
 
OTHER 
17. 
The site has not been identified as being archeologically sensitive. However, 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 Stipulation  
No. 14.  
 
 
18. 
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. 15. 
 
 
19. 
Development and use of the site is 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.

 To Whom It May Concern, 
 
I am writing as a concerned resident of Laveen to formally express my opposition to the proposed 
construction of a storage unit facility at or near the intersection of 43rd Avenue and Baseline Road. 
 
While I understand the need for accessible storage options, I believe this particular location poses 
several challenges and risks to our community. This intersection is a gateway to Laveen’s residential 
heart, and placing a commercial facility of this nature here undermines the values and aesthetics that 
define our neighborhood. My concerns include: 
 
- Traffic and Safety: Increased commercial traffic may create congestion and pose safety risks for 
pedestrians, cyclists, and families in the area. With 3 schools in the area, the added impact could create 
unintentional dangers. 
- Visual Impact: Storage units, especially if not thoughtfully designed, can detract from the visual appeal 
of our community and disrupt residential harmony. 
- Community Character: Laveen is defined by its residential and agricultural charm. A commercial facility 
here could set a precedent for further incompatible development. 
- Property Value Uncertainty: Many residents fear that proximity to such facilities could negatively impact 
home values and long-term investment in the area. 
 
I respectfully urge you to reconsider this location and explore alternatives that would better suit the 
needs of the community and maintain the integrity of our shared neighborhood vision. 
 
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and for your continued service to our growing community. 
 
Sincerely, 
 
Sarah Reyes
