Background/Issues/Analysis 
 
SUBJECT SITE 
1. 
This request is to 
rezone 3.24 acres 
from C-2 (Intermediate 
Commercial) to C-2 
DNS/WVR 
(Intermediate 
Commercial, Density 
Waiver) to allow for the 
conversion of a hotel 
to a community 
residence center.  
 
The subject site is 
north of the northwest 
corner of Black 
Canyon Highway and 
Northern Avenue and 
is accessed from the 
southbound only 
Interstate 17 Frontage 
Road.

SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING 
2. 
To the north is a vacant hotel, planned for a group home for seniors, zoned C-
2. To the east is the I-17 Freeway and a banquet hall, zoned C-2. To the south 
is a vacant commercial store, planned for an employment training center titled 
Innovation 27, zoned C-2. To the west is Washington Elementary School 
zoned R-5 (Multifamily Residence District). 
 
 
 
GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP 
Figure B: General Plan Land 
Use Map 
3. 
The subject site is designated as Commercial on 
the General Plan Land Use Map and is 
surrounded by designations of Commercial to 
the north, east, and south. The area to the west 
of the site is designated Public/Quasi-Public. 
 
The proposed development preserves 
Commercial Zoning on the site and is therefore 
consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map 
Designation and compatible with the adjacent 
designations.

PROPOSAL 
4. 
Site Plan 
This request is to 
increase the total 
density permitted on 
the site to allow the 
individual hotel units 
to be converted into 
individual community 
residence center 
rooms each with their 
own kitchen. The site 
plan, attached as an 
exhibit, proposes 
minimal changes to 
the overall site and 
existing building 
footprints. 
Figure C: Conceptual Site Plan 
 
Source: SmithGroup 
 
 
 
 
A density waiver allows for the application of the development standards contained in 
Sections 616 through 618 of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance, R-3A to R-5 respectively. 
A density waiver must, through a stipulation, establish which of these sections will 
govern the density and development that will apply. Staff recommends Stipulation 2, 
which requires the development to utilize R-5 (Multifamily Residence District) 
development standards. 
 
 
Staff recommends the implementation of stipulations that will be required when there is 
any new construction on site. This will enable the conversion of the existing buildings 
into housing, but ensures that site improvements happen in the future. This is 
addressed in Stipulation No. 1. 
 
 
The City of Phoenix has plans for the parcel to the south called “Innovation 27.” 
Partnering with Arizona State University, Maricopa County Community College, and 
Western Maricopa Education Center, the center will be a work-force training and 
education facility. Creating pedestrian connections between the subject site and the 
planned Innovation 27 center will shorten the walking distance between the sites and 
increase access to the site. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 3. 
 
 
 
 
STUDIES AND POLICIES 
5. 
North Interstate 17 Employment Center 
The site is also located within the City of 
Phoenix designated employment center and in 
close proximity to the MAG-designated North

Staff Report: Z-78-24-5 
August 8, 2024 
Page 6 of 12 
 
Interstate 17 Major Employment Center. The 
profile, attached as an exhibit, highlights the 
presence of a large and well-educated workforce 
and a large number of employment opportunities 
across a diverse range of the economy.   
 
The proposal supports increased intensity by 
providing additional housing that is compatible in 
scale and intensity with the surrounding area 
and entitlements.

6.  
27th Avenue “To Do List” 
The “To Do List” was developed by the community with assistance by the 
Planning and Development Department. The guide applies to the area from 
23rd Avenue to 29th Avenue and from Indian School Road to Dunlap Avenue. 
 
The neighborhood led effort is focused on achieving the vision for “an active, 
safe, and welcoming community with vibrant retail and sustainable housing.” 
The proposal increases housing options within the community and increases 
the number of local residents that support the retail centers and help keep the 
neighborhood safe by having ownership and natural surveillance over the 
area. 
 
 
 
7. 
Black Canyon/Maricopa Freeway Specific Plan 
The Freeway Mitigation Program, created in the City of Phoenix by the 1988 
approval of Proposition 17, authorized general obligation bonds to prepare 
plans and fund projects to mitigate the blighting effects on neighborhoods from 
existing and proposed freeway construction. The Black Canyon/ Maricopa 
Freeway Specific Plan study area is 32 miles long from Pinnacle Peak Road  
to Pecos Road. The width of the study area is one-quarter mile on each side of 
the freeway. The site is in Segment 7 with a commercial land use designation 
of “Hotel, Motel, and Resort”; the proposed Commercial zoning is consistent, 
but the use type is not consistent with the land use designation contained in 
the plan. 
 
 
 
8. 
27th Avenue Corridor Community Safety and Crime Prevention Plan 
Approved by the Phoenix City Council on February 16, 2022, the 27th Avenue 
Corridor Community Safety and Crime Prevention Plan is a two-year pilot 
program intending to reduce crime and increase the quality of life in 
communities around the city. The plan is an effort between the Neighborhood 
Services, Police, Public Transit, Street Transportation, Human Services, and

Staff Report: Z-78-24-5 
August 8, 2024 
Page 7 of 12 
 
the Law Departments to address community safety in a collaborative manner, 
leveraging technology and community-based resources. The three strategies 
to address community concerns in the corridor are outreach, education and 
partnerships, prevention and intervention, and enforcement. To promote Crime 
Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principals to enhance 
neighborhood safety, staff recommends Stipulation No. 6 which requires 
lighting at critical areas of the site. 
 
 
9. 
27th Avenue “To Do List” 
The “To Do List” was developed by the community with assistance by the 
Planning and Development Department. The guide applies to the area from 
23rd Avenue to 29th Avenue and from Indian School Road to Dunlap Avenue. 
The neighborhood led effort focuses on achieving “an active, safe, and 
welcoming community with vibrant retail and sustainable housing.” The guide 
articulates goals and strategies focused on pedestrian-friendly design and 
connectivity, pedestrian safety on roadways, branding, advocacy, and 
placemaking initiatives. To promote Crime Prevention Through Environmental 
Design (CPTED) principals to enhance neighborhood safety, staff 
recommends Stipulation No. 6 which requires lighting at critical areas of the 
site. 
 
 
 
10. 
Tree and Shade Master Plan 
The Tree and Shade Master Plan has a goal of treating the urban forest as 
infrastructure to ensure that trees are an integral part of the city’s planning and 
development process. By investing in trees and the urban forest, the city can 
reduce its carbon footprint, decrease energy costs, reduce storm water runoff, 
increase biodiversity, address the urban heat island effect, clean the air, and 
increase property values. In addition, trees can help to create walkable streets 
and vibrant pedestrian places. Stipulation No. 1 requires that shade trees be 
planted in the required landscape setback and that a minimum 25% of all 
parking lots be shaded by trees or structures. 
 
 
 
11. 
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. Staff is 
recommending two stipulations to 
promote alternative transportation as an 
option for residents. 
 
Stipulation No. 3 requires a pedestrian

connection connecting the subject site 
to the adjacent parcel to the south. 
Stipulation No. 7 requires enhanced 
bicycle parking and a bicycle fix-it 
station. 
 
Stipulation No. 4 increases pedestrian 
visibility and safety by requiring 
pedestrian crossings in vehicle paths to 
contrast.

12. 
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 a 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 proposal 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 while using vacant or underutilized land in a more 
sustainable fashion. 
 
 
 
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. 1 
and 5. 
 
 
 
14. 
Zero Waste Phoenix 
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 indicated 
that the provision for recycling containers will be evaluated through the site 
planning process.

15. 
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 addressed in Stipulation No. 1. 
 
 
 
16. 
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. 
1, which requires a minimum of two GI techniques for stormwater 
management to be implemented if the site redevelops. 
 
 
 
COMMUNITY CORRESPONDENCE 
17. 
As of the writing of this report, staff has not received any written 
correspondence regarding this proposed rezoning application. 
 
 
 
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 
18. 
The Street Transportation Department provided a stipulation regarding the 
construction of street improvements. Stipulation No. 8 requires prior approval 
from ADOT regarding the alteration of any driveways.

Staff Report: Z-78-24-5 
August 8, 2024 
Page 10 of 12 
 
OTHER 
19. 
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, unless the property is owned by the City of Phoenix. This is 
addressed in Stipulation No. 10. 
 
 
20. 
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. 9. 
 
 
21. 
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 request is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map designation of 
Commercial. 
 
 
 
2. 
The proposal, as stipulated, advances the purpose and intent of several core 
values from the Phoenix General Plan as well as policy documents such as 
the Tree and Shade Master Plan, Housing Phoenix Plan, Complete Street 
Guidelines, Transportation Electrification Plan, and Climate Action Plan.
