Background/Issues/Analysis 
 
SUBJECT SITE 
1. 
This request is to rezone 5.53 acres located at the southeast corner of Central 
Avenue and Broadway Road from 0.70 acres of R-5 SPVTABDO (Multifamily 
Residence District—Restricted Commercial, South Phoenix Village and Target 
Area B Design Overlay), 0.17 acres of C-1 SPVTABDO (Neighborhood Retail, 
South Phoenix Village and Target Area B Design Overlay), 4.38 acres of C-3 
SPVTABDO (General Commercial, South Phoenix Village and Target Area B 
Design Overlay), and 0.28 acres of P-1 SPVTABDO (Passenger Automobile 
Parking, Limited, South Phoenix Village and Target Area B Design Overlay) to WU 
Code T5:6 SPVTABDO (Walkable Urban Code, Transect 5:6 District, South 
Phoenix Village and Target Area B Design Overlay) for mixed-use, multifamily 
residential. 
 
The subject site is adjacent to the Broadway Road light rail station, is within the 
South Mountain Village Core, and is within the South Central Transit Oriented 
Development (TOD) Community Plan area.  
 
The site is vacant and owned by the City of Phoenix. Once the site is rezoned, the 
City of Phoenix will issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) that will enable the site to 
be redeveloped in accordance with the Walkable Urban Code zoning district 
standards and supporting stipulations.   
 
 
GENERAL PLAN 
2. 
The subject site is designated as 
Commercial and Residential 15+ 
dwelling units per acre on the 
General Plan Land Use Map 
and is within the Village Core. 
The areas to the north (across 
Broadway Road) and to the west 
(across Central Avenue) are 
designated Commercial. The 
area to the east (across 2nd 
Street) and the area to the south 
(across Corona Avenue) are 
designated Commercial and 
Residential 15+ dwelling units 
per acre. The proposal is 
consistent with the General Plan

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 adjacent to the the Broadway Road light rail station. The 
identified environment for the station is Minor Urban Center, applicable to an area 
within one quarter mile of the station. Minor Urban Center is a place type 
characterized by medium to low intensity with building heights typically from two to 
five stories with incentive heights of up to seven stories. Stipulation No. 1 provides 
for a maximum height of 56 feet without the incentive and 80 feet with the 
incentive, making the scale of the proposed zoning district consistent with this 
Place Type. The Minor Urban Center Place Type also calls for a balance of 
commercial and residential, retail and entertainment, and mid-rise living. Staff 
recommends Stipulation No. 2, which requires a vertical mix of land uses and a 
minimum of 4,000 square feet of non-residential uses adjacent to Central Avenue, 
to be consistent with the Place Type.

South Central Transit Oriented Development Community Plan 
 
The site is located within the South Central Transit Oriented Development (TOD) 
Community Plan area, with boundaries between 7th Avenue and 7th Street from 
Jefferson Street to South Mountain Avenue.  
 
The South Central TOD Community Plan 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 South 
Central TOD Community Plan area, one key recommendation is the 
implementation of a form-based zoning code. The proposal to Walkable Urban 
Code furthers that vision.  
 
The South Central TOD policy plan identifies the subject site as an “invest area” on 
the Prioritizing Growth map and as “mixed-used commercial”, “mixed-use 
residential”, and “multifamily residential” on the Land Use 2045 maps, highlighting 
that the site is suitable for a mixed-use development. The proposal to rezone to the 
WU Code T5:6 transect is consistent with the Prioritizing Growth and Land Use 
2045 designations. The proposal will provide affordable housing, a mix of uses, 
commercial frontage types along Central Avenue, an enhanced building corner, a 
paseo bisecting the site, two plazas, bicycle parking, EV bike parking spaces, and 
a bike fix-it station to encourage the use of alternative transportation options. This 
addressed in the Walkable Urban Code and Stipulation Nos. 1 though 4 and 7 
through 9. 
 
 
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING 
5. 
To the north (across Broadway Road) of the subject site are commercial uses 
zoned C-3 SPVTABDO RSIOD; to the west (across Central Avenue) are 
commercial and office uses zoned C-3 SPVTABDO; to the south (across Corona 
Avenue is a bank and multifamily residential zoned C-3 SPVTABDO and R-5 
SPVTABDO; and to the east (across 2nd  Street) is a vacant commercial/office 
building and single-family homes zoned C-3 SPVTABDO and R-3 SPVTABDO.

PROPOSAL 
6. 
Development Plans 
Development plans have not been prepared as this time. Once the rezoning is 
approved, the City of Phoenix will release an RFP which will outline the City’s 
requirements for the redevelopment of the sites. Per recommended Stipulation No. 
6, once a successful candidate has been selected and the preliminary site plan and 
elevations have been created, the plans will be presented to the South Mountain 
Village Planning Committee for review and comment prior to preliminary site plan 
approval. 
 
Staff recommends Stipulation No. 1. to require that the proposal provide a 
minimum of 30 percent of housing units to be dedicated for long-term affordability 
for low-income households to utilize the incentive height of the Minor Urban Center 
Place Type.  
 
In order to activate the street frontages and fulfill the mixed-use vision of this 
location described in the South Central TOD Community Plan, staff recommends 
Stipulation No. 2. to require a minimum of 4,000 square feet of non-residential uses 
be provided, Stipulation No. 3 to require commercial frontage types along Central 
Avenue, and Stipulation No. 4 to require the northwest corner of the site be 
enhanced. Additionally, to mitigate the proposal’s impact on the single-family

Staff Report: Z-53-25-7 
July 31, 2025 
Page 8 of 19 
 
residential uses to the east, staff recommends Stipulation No. 5 to limit the building 
height to a maximum of 30 within 35 feet of the east property line.  
 
To promote enhanced pedestrian safety, convenience, and connectivity, staff 
recommends Stipulation No. 7 to require that the required paseo bisect the center 
of the site and connect Broadway Road and Corona Avenue, and Stipulation No. 8 
to require a minimum of two 1,000 square foot plazas.  
 
 
STUDIES AND POLICIES 
7. 
South Phoenix Village and Target Area B Redevelopment Plan 
Adopted by the Phoenix City Council in 1980, and expanded in 1998, the Target 
Area B Redevelopment Plan is generally bounded by Broadway Road to Elwood 
Street, Southern Avenue, 7th Avenue and 24th Street. The Redevelopment Plan 
seeks to stabilize existing neighborhoods in the area by eliminating blight, 
encouraging reinvestment by the private sector in infill housing, and supporting 
commercial development attuned to the community’s needs. The subject site is 
identified as Community Commercial on the Proposed Land Use Map. The 
proposal for Walkable Urban Code zoning is compatible with that designation and 
as stipulated, the proposal will provide commercial uses along Central Avenue, 
affordable housing, and public paseos and plazas which will support the larger 
community. 
 
 
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 affordable housing that will address the 
supply shortage at a more rapid pace while using vacant or underutilized land in a 
more sustainable fashion. Staff recommends Stipulation No. 1 to limit the maximum 
building height to 56 feet, with an allowance up to 80 feet if a minimum of 30% of 
the units are provided as affordable 
 
 
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.

Staff Report: Z-53-25-7 
July 31, 2025 
Page 9 of 19 
 
To create a bike-supportive environment for residents, bicycle infrastructure is 
incorporated into the proposed project. Staff recommends Stipulation No. 9 which 
will require guest and 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. 10 which requires a 
minimum three percent of the required parking spaces to be EV Capable and 
Stipulation No. 9.d which requires a minimum of three percent of required bicycle 
parking spaces include electric receptacles for electric bike charging.  
 
 
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.  
 
Per Stipulation Nos. 15 and 16 and as required by the Walkable Urban Code, the 
proposal will create a comfortable streetscape environment with a shaded 
detached sidewalk along Broadway Road, Corona Avenue, and 2nd 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 proposal, as stipulated, will support 
walking, bicycling, and transit use by including shaded detached sidewalks along 
Broadway Road, Corona Avenue, and 2nd Street, bicycle infrastructure, and

Staff Report: Z-53-25-7 
July 31, 2025 
Page 10 of 19 
 
activated frontages. These are addressed in the Walkable Urban Code and 
Stipulation Nos. 3, 9, 15, and 16. To ensure alignment with the future South Central 
Character Area requirements, the sidewalk along Broadway is required to be a 
minimum of 8 feet. 
 
 
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 the 
City will work with the developer to determine measures for waste diversion once a 
project is proposed. 
 
 
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 
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 four 
bioswales 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. 11 through 13. 
 
 
 
COMMUNITY CORRESONDENCE 
16. At the time this staff report was written, staff has received one letter of opposition 
regarding the request. The concerns raised include the proposed density, parking

Staff Report: Z-53-25-7 
July 31, 2025 
Page 11 of 19 
 
issues, impact on local residents, lack of opportunities for homeownership, 
unsuitability of Phoenix's climate for walkability, and the perception that the project 
is driven by financial interests. 
 
 
 
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 
17. The Street Transportation Department requires that the south 50 feet of Broadway 
Road be dedicated; detached sidewalks be provided along Broadway Road, 2nd 
Street, and Corona Avenue; and that a Traffic Impact Analysis be approved by the 
Street Transportation Department prior to preliminary site plan approval. These are 
addressed in Stipulation Nos. 14 through 17. Additionally, Stipulation Nos. 18 and 
19 require that the developer replace and construct all improvements in the right-
of-way with all required elements and to ADA standards. 
 
 
18. The City of Phoenix Aviation Department requires that the property owner 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. 20. 
 
 
19.  The City of Phoenix Public Transit Department requires that the bus bay and pad 
on Broadway Road be retained, this is addressed in Stipulation No. 21. 
 
 
OTHER 
20. 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. These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 22 through 24. 
 
 
21. 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. 25. 
 
 
22. 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.

rezoning will simply allow developers to cram more units into a smaller space without regard for
the problems they cause. People that live in this area are typically people who work with their
hands and aren't people that just sit in an office downtown all day. This means that they
probably rely on a car more than the average office dweller. These cars may be old and run
down, but they still need them. With this rezoning, there will be very little room for all of these
people to park. Sure, the light rail runs to it, but that simply isn't enough for most people to not
have a car. It is irresponsible to think you can add this many residences and assume they will
not have cars.
This kind of dense housing also only serves large corporations that use them as investments.
People need homes, homes that they can own, not a pod they have to pay some corporation to
live in for the rest of their life. Any time you create a bunch of rental units, that's just a missed
opportunity for someone to actually own their own home. I understand that the city makes a lot
of money from these corporations and it's in the city's best financial interest to pursue these
projects, but the city should not be run to make a profit, it should be run to serve the interests of
its people, not just a few large corporations. The people need houses or even condos they can
own, not tiny pods they rent forever.
Phoenix is not, and never will be, a truly walkable city. The weather here just does not suit it for
half of the year. Trying to force walking and biking infrastructure is a waste of money since the
demand will never come. 
Please stop this rezoning, it does not make this a better place.
Sincerely,
Nicholas Sava
