The proposed residential development in Parcel 1 and Parcel 3 (refer to map on page 7) 
will provide additional housing choices just north and east of the Deer Valley Major 
Employment Center. 
 
 
STRENGTHEN OUR LOCAL ECONOMY CORE VALUE; JOB CREATION 
(EMPLOYERS); LAND USE PRINCIPLE: Support General Plan Land Use Map and 
zoning changes that will facilitate the location of employment generating uses in 
each of the designated employment centers. 
 
The commercial and commerce park portion of the subject site (Parcel 2) will offer 
employment opportunities and is located in close proximity to the Deer Valley Major 
Employment Center.  
 
 
BUILD THE SUSTAINABLE DESERT CITY CORE VALUE; REDEVELOPED 
BROWNFIELDS; DIVERSE NEIGHBORHOODS; LAND USE PRINCIPLE: Promote new 
development located on infill, previously developed, brownfield, and greyfield sites. 
 
The proposal would allow the development of an underutilized parcel that was 
contaminated by the previous user. Environmental remediation is underway. Parcel 2 has 
use restrictions due to the contamination. ADEQ has conducted additional soils testing on 
the site and Parcel 1 and Parcel 3 have been cleared for residential. The addition of the 
proposed residential land use map designations allows for a mixture of residential uses 
with lower residential density abutting county properties and higher residential density 
abutting the Sonoran Preserve and Happy Valley Road to the southeast of the site. A large 
portion of the site will retain the Commerce/Business Park designation. 
 
 
BUILD THE SUSTAINABLE DESERT CITY CORE VALUE; RIVERS, WASHES, & 
WATERWAYS: Establish design and management standards for natural major 
washes and connected open spaces that will allow preservation of the natural 
ecological and hydrological systems of major washes while allowing for appropriate 
public use. 
 
The proposal includes the preservation of major washes that run through the site. The 
open space proposed in Parcel 1 incorporates large natural wash areas ensuring water 
flows are preserved. This large wash also serves as a natural buffer between the low 
density residential proposed in parcel 1 and the commerce park uses proposed in Parcel 2. 
A robust trail system is proposed that meanders through the natural wash areas.  
 
BUILD THE SUSTAINABLE DESERT CITY CORE VALUE; TREES AND SHADE: LAND 
USE PRINCIPLE: Plant drought tolerant vegetation and preserve existing mature trees in 
new development and redevelopment. 
 
The proposal includes robust, drought tolerant landscaping throughout the site. Plant 
salvage will take place in an effort to preserve existing flora on the site.

SITE CONDITIONS AND ANALYSIS  
 3. 
The site consists of one parcel that was used as a rocket propulsion testing 
facility in 1972 and was demolished in 2010. The site was annexed into the City 
of Phoenix in 2001. At that time, the site was improved with a testing facility 
campus with multiple buildings. The current S-1 zoning designation on the site 
was established at the time of annexation through Rezoning Case No. Z-43-02. 
Maricopa County historical aerials indicate that the site was developed around 
1972 and subsequently cleared of all buildings around 2010. A Use Permit was 
granted in 2017 through Case No. ZA-158-17-2 for an environmental 
remediation facility, which is currently functioning on the site. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The  City of Phoenix Office of Environmental Programs (OEP) is requiring the 
applicant to disclose the existence of contaminants on the site and has 
requested that the narrative include the environmental remediation reports
associated with the site. The reports shall be attachmented to the narrative in the 
appendix of the document for ease of reference and to be included as part of the 
City of Phoenix public record. The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality 
ADEQ) is the regulatory agency overseeing the environmental remediation on 
the site and the PUD contains the regulatory statement as well as the 
Declaration of Environmental Use Resrictions (DEUR’s) for the site. Additional 
soils teting was conductd on the site, which cleared Parcel 1 and Parcel 3 for 
residential uses.

4. 
The site is currently vacant.  There 
are no structures located on the site 
other than a ground water treatment 
facility, twelve monitoring wells and 
nine remediation wells connected by 
an underground piping system. Soil 
remediation has also taken place on 
the site which has resulted in four 
soil cap areas that are currently 
secured by fencing. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
PROPOSAL 
 5. 
The proposal was developed utilizing the PUD zoning designation, which allows 
an applicant to propose uses, development standards, and design guidelines for 
a site. One of the goals of this process is to allow the applicant to develop 
standards that respond to the surrounding environment more so than 
conventional zoning districts allow. The end result is a site rezoned with 
standards crafted specifically for the site. Where the PUD development Narrative 
is silent on a requirement, the applicable Zoning Ordinance provisions will be 
applied.   
 
 
 6. 
Below is a summary of the proposed standards for the subject site as described 
in the attached PUD Development Narrative date stamped April 24, 2020.  The 
proposed standards were designed to allow a mix of residential, commerce park 
and commercial land uses. The proposal reflects the low density residential land 
uses characteristic of this area on the northwest portion of the site and reflects 
commerce park uses which are consistent with the underlying General Plan 
Land Use Map designation on the south and east portions of the site. Multifamily 
residential is also proposed on the southeast portion of the site, which will fulfill a 
mixture of housing needs in the area.     
 
Development standards and design guidelines were designed to meet or exceed 
standards found in the R1-10 (Single-family Residence District), R-3 (Multifamily 
Residence District, Commerce Park and C-1 (Neighborhood Retail) zoning 
districts.

Land Use 
The 
development is 
broken into three 
different districts 
referred to as 
Parcel 1, Parcel 
2 and Parcel 3, 
which have 
unique land use 
and development 
standards. 
Parcel 1 is 
comprised of low 
density single-
family 
residential. A 
special Use 
Permit may be 
obtained for 5-10 
bed adult 
daycare home, 
churches, 
construction 
facilities, home  
occupations, nondaily newspaper delivery service and public 
assembly. Temporary uses may be obtained upon written request and 
submission of an application and is contingent upon Section 708 of the City of 
Phoenix Zoning Ordinance. Parcel 2 is a mix of commercial and commerce park 
uses. The existing General Plan Land Use Map designation is consistent with 
commerce park uses. The companion General Plans Amendment, Case No. 
GPA-DV-2-19-2, reflects this as well. The narrative has provided a list of 
prohibited uses that are not allowed due to environmental restriction, including 
residential within Parcel 2.  Parcel 3 is multifamily, which will provide additional 
housing choices in a single-family dominated area.

DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 
 
Parcel 1 
 
Parcel 1 comprises the northern third of the property. It is within this district that 
low density residential is proposed that provides a transition between Parcel 2 
and the residential to the north of the site located within Maricopa County. The 
Development Narrative proposes to follow R1-10 standards in Parcel 1. 
Approximately 24 acres of open space are proposed within Parcel 1, which 
allows for greater density within the district.

Parcel 2  
The Commerce Park 
District is located on 
the central portion of 
the subject site which 
runs diagonally from 
northeast to southwest 
through the site. The 
majority of the 
monitoring well sites 
are located within 
Parcel 2. The 
Development Narrative 
describes this area as 
an area that will 
encourage a mixture of 
commercial and 
commerce park uses only. This is consistent with the land use 
restrictions outlined in the Declaration of Environmental Use 
Restrictions issued by ADEQ for this parcel. The commercial uses are intended 
to be located in the southern end of Parcel 2 within 500 feet of Central Avenue 
and Happy Valley Road. The uses permitted within Parcel 2 are consistent with 
the C-1 and CP zoning districts.

Parcel 3 
The proposed Multifamily Residential District is in the southeastern quarter of the 
overall site with direct frontage onto Happy Valley Road through the Parcel 2 
portion of the site. The vision for this district is a mixture of multifamily and 
assisted living. This area is somewhat unique in that it is all in the hillside area 
with a slope of 10 percent or greater as outlined in the slope analysis. This area 
is categorized as hillside and shall be subject to the Hillside Development 
Ordinance. The PUD shall follow hillside density standards for all hillside areas 
with a slope of 10 percent or greater. The uses permitted in this district are 
consistent with the R-3 zoning district with a list of permitted uses.

The Development Narrative provides a setback exhibit for boundaries of Parcel 
1, Parcel 2 and Parcel 3 as shown in the below graphic. 
 
 
 
 
Building Setbacks 
The Development Narrative proposes a 40-foot minimum building setback 
adjacent to Yearling Road to the north of the site in an effort to create a buffer to 
the low density residential to the north. A minimum 90-foot separation is 
proposed between existing structures on Yearling Road and the proposed new 
single-family residential. Dependent on the district, the building setback along 
Central Avenue is either 15-feet or an average of 30-feet. The building setback 
on the eastern boundary of the PUD along the Phoenix Sonoran Preserve is a 
minimum of 65 feet as depicted on the setback exhibit above. There is no 
access proposed to Central Foothills from Yearling Road, further restricting the 
access to the arterial street. This is required through a streetscape design 
guideline.

In addition to perimeter building setbacks, interior setbacks have been provided 
in all of the districts where commercial and residential are adjacent. In those 
circumstances the Development Narrative proposed a minimum of 85-foot 
minimum setback between Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 and a minimum 65-foot 
setback between Parcel 2 and Parcel 3. 
 
Landscape  
The Development Narrative proposes landscaping consistent with current code 
standards. All landscaping shall be supplied with an appropriate watering 
system. Additionally, where a lot line, not on a street, abuts a residential zoning 
district, there shall be evergreen trees planted 20 feet on center. Enhanced 
landscape standards are proposed for Parcel 2 in an effort to buffer the more 
intense uses form the abutting residential.  
 
Shade  
The Development Narrative proposes shade trees along all sidewalks at a 
minimum density of 75 percent shade cover at maturity. Shade trees are also 
proposed along pedestrian trails at a minimum density of 50 percent shade 
cover at maturity. Shade trees and/or shade structures shall be provided at rest 
areas within common open space areas and where benches and picnic tables 
are located.  
 
Walls and Fences  
The Development Narrative 
proposes several wall types. 
Parcel 1 will include primary 
and secondary theme walls, 
partial view fencing, full view 
fencing as well as a builder 
wall. Parcel 2 shall 
incorporate a perimeter 
theme wall and builder wall. 
Parcel 3 does not currently 
propose any walls or 
fencing. The illustration to 
the right depicts wall types 
referenced in this section.

Page 13 of 19 
Parking 
The Development Narrative proposed parking standards for Parcel 1, 2 and 3. 
Parcel 1 shall require parking for single-family residential totaling two spaces per 
one dwelling unit. Parcel 2 shall be based on City of Phoenix Zoning Ordinance 
standards in Chapter 7 Section 702. Bicycle parking shall be required in Parcel 
2. Parcel 3 shall provide 1.3 spaces per efficiency unit and 1.5 spaces per 1 or 
2-bedroom units and 2 spaces per three or more bedroom units. For single-
family in Parcel 3, the developer shall provide 1.3 spaces per efficiency unit and 
1.5 spaces per one and two-bedroom units and three spaces for three or more 
bedroom units. For community resident centers in Parcel 3, one space shall be 
provided per two resident beds.  
 
Screening  
The Development Narrative proposes screening consisting of a solid wall or 
landscaping in residential districts when the lot serves any use, except single-
family units or a multifamily project of less than 16 units. Screening of parking 
areas is also required in non-residential areas.  
 
Lighting 
The Development Narrative proposes all lighting shall conform to Section 23-100 
out of the City Code, and Sections 704. A. and 507. Tab A. of the Zoning 
Ordinance. 
                                                                                                    
       Design Guidelines 
 
To ensure high quality 
development, the 
Development Narrative 
includes standards that 
exceed the Zoning 
Ordinance. There are 
standards that address 
fences/walls, 35 percent 
open space in Parcel 1 
where 5 percent is required 
by ordinance standards, 
landscape buffering in Parcel 
2 to protect the CP uses 
from the abutting residential, 
streetscapes, 
trails/pathways, and 
architecture. Architectural 
design guidelines for Parcel 
2 and Parcel 3 shall be 
reviewed and approved by 
the Planning Hearing Officer through the public hearing process

Staff Report: Z-37-19-2 
May 13, 2020 
Page 14 of 19 
 
for stipulation modification prior to preliminary site plan approval.  This is a 
legislative review for conceptual purposes only. Specific development standards 
and requirements may be determined by the Planning Hearing Officer and the 
Planning and Development Department. 
 
The Development Narrative proposes robust open space areas in Parcel 1 at 30 
percent of the gross area. As proposed, this standard exceeds ordinance 
requirements for R1-10 residential zoning district. R1-10 requires a minimum 5 
percent of common area.  
 
 
      SIGNAGE 
 
All signage within Parcel 1 shall be in conformance with Section 705 of the City 
of Phoenix Zoning Ordinance with exceptions. All signage within Parcel 2 and 
Parcel 3 shall be in conformance with Section 705 of the City of Phoenix Zoning 
Ordinance.  
 
 
      SUSTAINABILITY 
 
The Development Narrative proposes six sustainable development principles 
that may be employed throughout the project.   
 
Proposed sustainable development elements include utilizing industry 
recognized sustainable construction practices; providing LED and/or low-level 
lighting, high efficiency air conditioning units, pedestrian amenities, and shade 
for parking lots and others public spaces. 
 
AREA PLANS, OVERLAY DISTRICTS AND INITIATIVES 
7. 
Tree and Shade Master Plan 
The Tree and Shade Master Plan has the goal of treating the urban forest as 
infrastructure to ensure that trees are an integral part of the City’s planning and 
development process. The proposal includes landscape and shade throughout 
the development. 
 
 
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. The proposal includes safe 
pedestrian walkways throughout the site.  
 
 
COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY 
9. 
As of the writing of this report, staff has received 18 letters in opposition from 
concerned property owners in regard to perchlorate contamination on the site, 
the proposed residential density, the character of the area changing, an increase 
in crime and traffic, further aqueduct contamination as a result of on-site 
retention proposed on this site, cancer clusters appearing in existing home

owners to the north and prospective homeowners on the site (specifically thyroid 
cancer), disruption of existing ground water remediation occurring on the site 
and trespassing.  
 
 
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 
10. 
 
The Street Transportation Department stipulations requires that the developer 
dedicate right-of-way for Happy Valley Road (70 feet) and Central Avenue (40 
feet). Additional stipulations require that the developer make dedications and 
construct all streets per plans approved by the Planning and Development 
Department and in compliance with ADA standards and to submit a Developer 
Project Information Form for the MAG Transportation Improvement Program to 
the Street Transportation Department 
 
 
11. The Phoenix Fire Department has noted that they do not anticipate any 
problems with this case and additional water supply may be required to meet the 
required fire flow per the Phoenix Fire Code. The site and/or buildings shall 
comply with the Phoenix Fire Code. 
 
 
12. The City of Phoenix Floodplain Management division of the Public Works 
Department has determined that this parcel is not in a Special Flood Hazard 
Area (SFHA), but is located in a Shaded Zone X, on panel 1280 L of the Flood 
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) dated January 29, 215. 
 
 
13. The Water Services Department indicated that the subject site is surrounded 
with existing water and sewer mains that can potentially serve the development.   
 
 
14. The Parks and Recreation Department stipulations require that the developer 
dedicate multi-use trail easements and construct multi use trails within the 
easements and connect to the Phoenix Sonoran Preserve to the east of the site. 
This is addressed in Stipulation No. 14.  
 
 
15. The Public Works Department commented that the developers need to follow the 
City of Phoenix’s current development standards for trash and recycling 
collection. 
 
 
16. The Community and Economic Development Department commented that they 
are supportive of commerce/business park land uses at this location as this is a 
future extension of a strong employment corridor that will be critical as Phoenix 
continues to grow to the north. Site planning will also be important so that the 
residential uses do not limit the business activity due to noise, truck activity, etc. 
 
 
17. 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

Staff Report: Z-37-19-2 
May 13, 2020 
Page 16 of 19 
 
City of Phoenix Archaeology Office must be notified immediately and allowed 
time to properly assess the materials. 
 
 
18. The subject site is located in the Deer Valley Airport traffic pattern airspace. The 
Aviation Department requires the developer to record a Notice of Prospective 
Purchasers of Proximity to the Deer Valley Airport and a no hazard 
determination. 
 
 
OTHER 
24. 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. Section 716 of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinances 
establishes standards to encourage the provision of recycling containers for 
multifamily, commercial and mixed-use developments meeting certain criteria. 
Recycling will be provided for single-family development. The PUD Development 
Narrative does not address recycling provisions. 
 
 
25. Development and use of the site is subject to all applicable codes and 
ordinances. Zoning approval does not negate other ordinance requirements and 
other formal actions may be required. 
 
Findings 
 
1. 
The proposal is not consistent with the General Land Use Map designations of 
Preserve / 0 to 1 & 1 to 2 dwelling units per acre and Parks/Open Space – 
Future 1 dwelling units per acre on a portion of the site and the gross acreage of 
this portion exceeds 10 acres, however a companion General Plan Amendment 
request (GPA-DV-2-19-2) is being processed concurrently. If approved the site 
will be consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map.  
 
 
2. 
The proposal includes development and landscaping standards and design 
guidelines that exceed Zoning Ordinance standards in Parcel 2 in order to buffer 
the CP/GCP uses from abutting residential.  
 
 
3. 
The proposed development will reuse a previously contaminated site that had 
undergone extensive soils remediation. Groundwater remediation is ongoing. 
ADEQ has found that Parcel 1 and 3 are cleared for residential development. 
Parcel 2 restricts residential development.  
 
Stipulations 
 
1. 
An updated Development Narrative for the Central Foothills PUD reflecting the 
changes approved through this request shall be submitted to the Planning and 
Development Department within 30 days of City Council approval of this 
request.  The updated Development Narrative shall be consistent with the
