This request is to rezone 3.24 acres from C-O (Commercial Office) to R-3A (Multifamily Residence District) to allow for the adaptive reuse conversion of an existing office building for multifamily. The site is located approximately one-half mile from the light rail station located at 19th Avenue and Northern Avenue. The site is also located within a neighborhood known as 19North which has been working with the Phoenix Planning and Development Department to develop a transit oriented development policy plan for the last two years. A significant amount of public engagement has occurred to establish a vision for this area. The resident engagement from the 19North policy planning efforts and those through the development of the “Transit Oriented Development Strategic Policy Framework” envisioned this area for walkable urban development and redevelopment. Staff Report: Z-8-20-5 June 12, 2020 Page 4 of 16 SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING 2. The proposed multifamily residential zoning is consistent and complementary to the surrounding land uses. To the north is a vacant building with R-3A (Multifamily Residence District) zoning. To the east and south is a multifamily project currently under development with R-3A (Multifamily Residence District) zoning. To the west, across 23rd Avenue, is a commerce park with IND.PK (Industrial Park) zoning. Figure A: Zoning Context Map Source: City of Phoenix Planning and Development Department The proposed development would reposition an underutilized building in close proximity to high-capacity transit while also completing an emerging zoning pattern for multifamily north of Royal Plan Road and east of 23rd Avenue. 3. In 2009, the former El Caro Golf Course was rezoned through Z-50-08 subject to stipulations to allow for multifamily redevelopment of the property. In 2019, an applicant modified the stipulations of approval through Z-50-08 (PHO-5-19) to enable the redevelopment of the western portion of the former golf course as rental townhomes. The multifamily development is currently underway and is located immediately adjacent to the subject site, sharing its east property line.

The General Plan Land Use Map designation for the subject site is Residential 15+ Dwelling Units Per Acre. The request for approximately 20 dwelling units per acre is consistent with the designation. The multifamily project to the east and south is designated as Residential 10 to 15 Dwelling Units per acre. The vacant commercial building to the north is designated as Residential 15+ Dwelling Units Per Acre. Figure D.

Site Plan The site currently has two points of ingress / egress from 23rd Avenue, an office building of approximately 63,000 square feet, a surface parking lot, and an underground parking garage between the street and the building. The site plan depicts the conversion of the building for 64 units comprised of 1 and 2-bedroom units. A share of the surface parking between the building and the street will be converted to landscape area. The site plan depicts a pool amenity and a substantial amount of open space and staff is recommending that 10 percent of the site is retained as open space. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 10. Figure E: Conceptual Site Plan Source: Trillium Residential Staff is recommending a series of stipulations to facilitate walkable, urban, and transit oriented redevelopment as envisioned and supported by the Transit Oriented Development Strategic Policy Framework and the emerging vision which will be described in the 19North Policy Plan. Please see background item Nos. 9 and 10 for more discussion on the TOD Strategic Policy Framework These stipulations are as follows: • Stipulation No. 3 requires detached sidewalks, shaded to 75 percent by large canopy shade trees planted between the curb and sidewalk. To further buffer the sidewalk from vehicular traffic, the stipulation requires low shrubs planted between the curb and the sidewalk. • Stipulation No. 4 requires an enhanced pedestrian connection between the public sidewalk, the first phase of development, and to any subsequent phases of development. • Stipulation No. 6 requires that surface parking areas be setback a minimum of 30 feet or screened by buildings. • Stipulation No. 7 prohibits solid (opaque) perimeter walls over 36 inches in height between the plane of the buildings and 23rd Avenue. Staff Report: Z-8-20-5 June 12, 2020 Page 7 of 16 Staff is recommending an enhanced setback and planting standards to promote compatibility between the development and the multifamily community being developed to the east. Stipulation No. 8 requires a minimum average setback between the development and the east property line of 25 feet and is intended to vegetate and existing setback area in a manner to both buffer and improve thermal comfort. This required setback area will be planted with shade trees to an enhanced planting specification. 6. Conceptual Elevations The applicant provided conceptual building elevations and interior unit concepts. The concepts depict enhancements such as window boxes, a series of paint colors, and window wall replacement systems to provide ample lighting into residential units. Staff is recommending a stipulation to require architectural enhancements on all four sides of the existing building; this is addressed in Stipulation No. 2. Figure F: Conceptual Front Elevation and Enhancements Source: Trillium Residential 7. Planning for Subsequent Phases The site plan does not depict any development beyond the adaptive reuse of the building; however, the applicant provided conceptual floor plans and building elevations for a second phase of single-family attached products that would be located along 23rd Avenue atop the existing parking garage facility. Staff Report: Z-8-20-5 June 12, 2020 Page 8 of 16 Figure G: Conceptual Phase II Floor Plans and 23rd Avenue Elevations Source: Trillium Residential 8. Staff is recommending a series of stipulations in the case that additional units be added to the site in addition to that depicted on the conceptual site plan. The purpose of these stipulations is to engage the 23rd Avenue frontage by making it visible and accessible from units, to promote high-quality and human-scale architecture, and to ensure the overall development functions seamlessly as a single neighborhood. These issues are addressed Stipulation No. 1 with the following subpoints. • Stipulation No. 1.a. notes that all stipulations pertaining to the first phase of development also apply to any subsequent phases. • Stipulation No. 1.b-c. requires unit entrances be oriented to 23rd Avenue and include a porch or patio. • Stipulation No. 1.d. requires that all garage doors be screened from the exterior of the site and incorporate decorative embellishments. Staff Report: Z-8-20-5 June 12, 2020 Page 9 of 16 STUDIES AND POLICIES 9. Transit Oriented Development Strategic Policy Framework: The Transit Oriented Development Strategic Policy Framework is part of the City’s General Plan. The framework identifies planning typologies to describe urban environments. The subject site is located within approximately one- half mile of a future rail station in an area identified as a Neighborhood Center Place Type. The Neighborhood Center Place Type is characterized by 2 to 4 story buildings and an assortment of housing products including apartments and townhomes in addition to limited retail and employment uses. The proposed use is consistent with the approved Place Type. Figure H: Place Type Map from the Transit Oriented Development Strategic Policy Framework Source: Planning and Development Department 10. To promote walkable, urban, and transit oriented development, staff is recommending the following stipulations: • Stipulation 1.b through c. requires residential units to be oriented to 23rd Avenue with porches or patios connected to the public sidewalk. • Stipulation No. 3 requires public sidewalks to be detached and shaded to 75 percent. Figure I. Example Frontage Types Source: Phoenix Zoning Ordinance Staff Report: Z-8-20-5 June 12, 2020 Page 10 of 16 11. Tree and Shade Master Plan The Tree and Shade Master Plan encourages treating the urban forest as infrastructure to ensure the trees are an integral part of the City’s planning and development process. Sidewalks on the street frontages should be detached from the curbs to allow trees to be planted on both sides of the sidewalk to provide thermal comfort for pedestrians and to reduce the urban heat island effect. Staff is recommending a series of stipulation to implement the goals and vision of the Tree and Shade Master Plan including the following: • Stipulation No. 3 requires shaded and detached sidewalks with enhanced tree planting standards. • Stipulation No. 6 requires enhanced vegetative coverage over all surface parking areas required. While shade would be ideal, much of the surface parking is located on top of a parking structure which may compromise the ability to maintain a healthy tree canopy; as an alternative, the stipulation focuses on vegetative ground cover to mitigate the urban heat island effect. • Stipulation No. 8 requires more and larger trees in the eastern setback area to serve as a buffer with the neighboring property and as shade for the required amenity area. 12. 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. Staff is recommending stipulations for comfortable, shaded, and enhanced pedestrian pathways to and from the site (Stipulation Nos. 3 and 4) and for enhanced bicycle infrastructure including parking and a bicycle repair station (Stipulation No. 9). The development, as stipulated, creates a residential environment designed to allow its residents to use alternative transportation such as transit, walking, or riding a bike to destinations such as a transit station or regional park. 13. Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan The Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan is a guide for creating a culture and environment conducive to bicycling as a viable mode of transportation. The proximity to high capacity transit underscores the importance of walking and bicycling in this area. Staff is recommending a stipulation to require bicycle parking and a bicycle repair station (Stipulation No. 9). The development, as stipulated, will contribute to a culture of Staff Report: Z-8-20-5 June 12, 2020 Page 11 of 16 bicycling, increase multi-modal trips including a bicycle, and provide convenient access to nearby recreation areas. A bicycle repair station (fix-it station) is vertical infrastructure which contains the necessary tools to make light to moderate repairs to bicycles. The station includes a repair stand and pump affixed to the ground, and standard repair tools connected to the station. Figure J depicts an example of a repair station. Figure J: Example of a Fix-It Station. Source: Dero 14. Reimagine Phoenix As part of the Reimagine Phoenix Initiative, the City of Phoenix is committed to increasing the waste diversion rate to 40 percent by 2020 and to better manage its solid waste resources. The provision of recycling containers was not addressed in the applicant’s submittals. COMMUNITY CORRESONDENCE 15. As of the writing of this report, staff has one letter of written correspondence in support of the proposed rezoning application. INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 16. The Fire Department commented that the site plan must comply with the Phoenix Fire Code and further indicated there are no problems anticipated with the case. Further, the Department commented that they do not know the water supply at this site and noted that additional water supply may be required to meet the required fire flow per the Phoenix Fire Code. 17. The Public Works Department, Floodplain Management Division determined the parcel is not in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), but located in a Shaded Zone X, on panel 1740 L of the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) dated October 16, 2013. 18. The Street Transportation Department provided Stipulation No. 11 requiring that the Staff Report: Z-8-20-5 June 12, 2020 Page 12 of 16 developer construct all street improvements associated with the development and that all improvements comply with ADA Accessibility Standards. The Street Transportation Department’s Office of Pedestrian Safety commented regarding the public sidewalk and associated improvements including the below: • Detached sidewalks, shade trees, and low shrubs. These items are addressed in Stipulation No. 3. • Delineating on-site and off-site pedestrian pathways and reducing vehicular conflicts. These items are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 1, 3, and 4. • Restrict opaque perimeter walls between the development and 23rd Avenue. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 7. • Providing secure bicycle parking. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 9. OTHER 19. The site has not been identified as being archaeologically sensitive. However, in the event archaeological materials are encountered during construction, all ground disturbing activities must cease within 33-feet 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. 12. 20. 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. Findings 1. The development, as stipulated, advances the purpose and intent of several core values from the Phoenix General Plan including policy documents such as the Transit Oriented Development Strategic Policy Framework, the Tree and Shade Master Plan, Complete Streets Guidelines, and the Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan. 2. The development, as stipulated, is appropriate at this location due to its compatibility with the surrounding land uses and proximity to a future high- capacity transit line. 3.
