CONNECT PEOPLE & PLACES CORE VALUE; COMPLETE STREETS; DESIGN 
PRINCIPLE: In order to balance a more sustainable transportation system, 
development should be designed to include increased amenities for transit, 
pedestrian and bicyclists such as shade, water, seating, bus shelters, wider 
sidewalks, bike racks, pedestrian scale lighting and way-finding. 
Located adjacent to two arterial streets, the proposal, as stipulated, will provide 
elements for transit, pedestrians, and bicyclists in order to promote walking and 
alternative transportation. These elements include a multi-use trail, bus stop pad, and 
bicycle parking located on the multifamily and commercial portions of the site. 
 
 
CONNECT PEOPLE & PLACES CORE VALUE; OPPORTUNITY SITES; LAND 
USE PRINCIPLE: Support reasonable levels of increased intensity, respectful of 
local conditions and surrounding neighborhoods. 
 
The proposal provides a reasonable level of intensity that is respectful to local 
conditions by proposing multifamily and commercial development adjacent to two 
arterial streets. The request will allow for increased commercial intensity that is 
sensitive to the scale of the surrounding neighborhoods and provide retail services to 
future and adjacent residences.
 
 
BUILD THE SUSTAINABLE DESERT CITY CORE VALUE; TREES AND SHADE; 
DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Integrate trees and shade into the design of new 
development and redevelopment projects throughout Phoenix.   
 
The proposal, as stipulated, includes shaded pedestrian walkways, and shaded 
bicycle and vehicle parking areas. These improvements will create a comfortable 
pedestrian environment and reduce the urban heat island affect.

PROPOSAL 
4.
Site Plan
The conceptual site plan, attached as an exhibit, depicts numerous multifamily 
residential buildings along the north and east portion of the site. There are 334 
units proposed. The proposed multifamily residential development has access 
via 91st Avenue and Broadway Road. An enhanced building setback is proposed 
along the north and east portion of the subject site, adjacent to single-family 
residential development to the north and existing dairy farm uses to the east. A 
drive aisle with parking is proposed along the east and north portion of the site, 
acting as an additional buffer. Furthermore, numerous landscaping areas are 
located between the buildings along with several pedestrian connections. As a 
result, staff recommends pedestrian walkways to be shaded by landscaping or 
structures. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 26. The proposal does not meet 
landscaping setbacks along the north and adjacent to the proposed commercial 
development. As a result, staff does not recommend general conformance to the

Staff Report: Z-81-24-7
August 13, 2024
Page 7 of 19
 
 
site plan. Stipulation No. 22 will require the multifamily residential development to 
conform to the R-4 PRD development standards. 
The site plan depicts a multi-use trail along Broadway Road along with enhanced 
landscaping adjacent to the vehicular entrance and numerous open spaces. Staff 
recommends Stipulation No. 23 and Stipulation No. 25 which would require a 
minimum of three landscape materials to be located at each entrance to the 
multifamily development and 10 percent of open space dispersed throughout the 
multifamily site.  
 
Existing dairy farm and animal uses are located along the east and south side of 
the proposed development. As a result, staff recommends signage to be posted 
in the leasing/sales office which discloses the existence of those uses. This is 
addressed in Stipulation No. 31.  
 
The applicant states in their submittal materials that the proposal will provide 
affordable housing. So that the site develops as proposed and to address the 
goals of the Housing Phoenix Plan, staff recommends Stipulation No. 21 which 
allows up to 40 feet in height for multifamily residential development if affordable 
housing is provided. 
 
Commercial C-2 zoning is proposed on the southwest corner of the site, 
immediate adjacent to 91st Avenue and Broadway Road. There is no defined 
user or site plan for the commercial portion of the subject site at this time. 
However, any future development is subject to the approved stipulations for this 
case and the Zoning Ordinance requirements. Staff recommends that site plans 
and elevations for any future development on the C-2 portion of the subject site 
be reviewed and approved by the Planning Hearing Officer through the public 
hearing process with specific regard to accessible pedestrian pathways, and 
pedestrian connections between the commercial development and future bus 
stop. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 32.
5. 
Elevations 
*The conceptual building elevations, attached as an exhibit, depict two- and 
three-story buildings that are approximately 19 to 39 feet tall. The elevations 
depict architectural features that include variation in colors, street frontages and 
building articulation. Elevation materials are not provided on the building 
elevations; as a result, staff does not recommend general conformance to 
proposed elevations.

PLANS, OVERLAYS, AND INITIATIVES
6.
Estrella Village Plan
The Estrella Village Plan adopted in 1999, outlines a vision for developing the 
Estrella Village through five main goals that include: 
1. Orderly growth;
2. Identifiable village core;
3. Strong residential neighborhoods; 
4. Variety of homes and jobs; and 
5. Consistent streetscapes and trail linkages. 
 
Estrella Land Use Map

Goal 3 of the Estrella Village Plan, “Protection of Residential Neighborhoods”, 
Objective D, “Residential Area in Transition” recommends lessening the impacts 
to residential areas when properties transition to non-residential uses. Staff 
recommends Stipulation No. 24 to ensure that privacy is maintained on adjacent 
properties by providing evergreen trees on the north perimeter.  
Goal 5, “Urban Design”, recommends for streetscape and trail systems to be 
uniform and consistent to provide identity and linkage between neighborhoods 
and with activity centers. Several stipulations as recommended by staff would 
promote enhanced urban design along the streetscapes. Stipulation No. 11 
requires a multi-use trail along the south portion of the subject site, on the north

side of Broadway Road. Furthermore, a detached sidewalk will be required on 
the east side of 91st Avenue. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 10.  
7.
Estrella Village Arterial Street Landscaping Program 
The Estrella Village Arterial Street Landscaping Program adopted in 1999, 
provides a landscape palette for arterial streets within the Estrella Village to help 
establish the community’s character. In addition to providing planning guidelines, 
the plan also indicates the locations to establish entry gateways that welcome 
individuals entering the village with an entry sign and an enhanced landscape 
area of 75 feet by 75 feet in size.  
 
The subject site is adjacent to 91st Avenue and Broadway Road, arterial streets. 
Thus, staff recommends Stipulation No. 1 to require adherence with the Estrella 
Village Arterial Street Landscaping Program requirements along the street 
frontage to promote the community’s character. 
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 is recommending enhanced pavement treatment for the on-site 
pedestrian walkways that cross vehicular drive aisles. This is addressed in 
Stipulation No. 2. Furthermore, a minimum of three pedestrian connections shall 
be provided between the commercial and residential portions of the site. This is 
addressed in Stipulation No. 3. Stipulation No. 10 will help pedestrianize the 
immediate street frontage by providing a detached sidewalk along 91st Avenue. 
In addition, any street improvements must comply with City of Phoenix and ADA 
standards. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 17.
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 for both the commercial and multifamily portions. 
The multifamily development will contain shaded parking spaces, a bicycle fix it 
station, and parking spaces for electric bicycle charging capabilities. 
Furthermore, the commercial portion of the site will have bicycle parking per the 
City’s Walkable Urban Code and parking spaces for electric bicycle charging. 
This is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 27 and 33.

10.
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 stipulations designed to provide trees and 
enhanced shade within the development as follows:  
 Uncovered surface parking lot areas shall be landscaped with minimum 
two-inch caliper, drought tolerant, shade trees or shade structures to 
achieve a minimum of 25 percent shade (Stipulation No. 8);
 Evergreen trees shall be provided along the north landscape setback 
(Stipulation No. 24);
 A minimum 10 percent of the gross site shall be retained as open space 
(Stipulation No. 25);
 Pedestrian walkways shall be shaded by structures or trees to active a 
minimum of 75 percent shade (Stipulation No. 26);  
 Bicycle parking spaces in the multifamily development shall be shaded by 
a structure or landscaping to achieve a minimum of 75 percent shade 
(Stipulation No. 27.d); and
 Landscape areas in the multifamily development shall be planted with 
minimum two-inch caliper, drought tolerant, shade trees (Stipulation No. 
30). 
11.
Monarch Butterfly Pledge
In April 2021, Mayor Kate Gallego signed the National Wildlife Federation's 
Mayor's Monarch Pledge. This pledge commits the city to take action to support 
the monarch butterfly population. In the United States, loss of milkweed habitat is 
a major factor in the decline of the monarchs. Arizona has at least 29 species of 
milkweed native to the state. Adult monarchs feed on the nectar of many flowers, 
but they breed only where milkweeds are found. To support the monarch 
butterfly population, Stipulation No. 4 requires the planting of milkweed shrubs, 
or other native nectar plant species on the subject site.
12.
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

Staff Report: Z-81-24-7 
August 13, 2024
Page 11 of 19
 
 
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 Nos. 28 and 
34. Additionally, Stipulation Nos. 27.e and 33.b would require electrical 
receptacles for electric bicycle charging capabilities. 
13.
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 9, 29, and 35.
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 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. 9, which 
requires a minimum of two GI techniques for stormwater management to be 
implemented in this development. 
15.
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 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

Staff Report: Z-81-24-7 
August 13, 2024
Page 12 of 19
 
 
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 contributing to a variety housing types that will 
address the supply shortage at a more rapid pace while using underutilized land 
in a more sustainable fashion.
16.
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 development narrative has stated that recycling bins 
will be provided for residents to use.
