General Plan Conformity 
CONNECT PEOPLE & PLACES CORE VALUE; TRANSIT ORIENTED 
DEVELOPMENT; LAND USE PRINCIPLE: Encourage high-density housing and 
high intensity employment uses to locate adjacent or close to transit stations per 
adopted transit district plans. 
 
The subject site is located within the Gateway Transit Oriented Development (TOD) 
District and is within one mile of the 24th Street / Washington Street / Jefferson Street 
light rail stations. The proposed PUD allows high intensity employment uses consistent 
with the Downtown Code – Warehouse Character Area at this transit oriented location. 
 
CELEBRATE OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITIES & NEIGHBORHOODS CORE VALUE; 
CERTAINTY & CHARACTER; DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Create new development or 
redevelopment that is sensitive to the scale and character of the surrounding 
neighborhoods and incorporates adequate development standards to prevent 
negative impact(s) on the residential properties. 
 
The proposed PUD includes development standards, such as enhanced setbacks, 
enhanced landscaping, and a height limit to prevent negative impacts on the adjacent 
residential properties. 
 
STRENGTHEN OUR LOCAL ECONOMY CORE VALUE; 
MANUFACTURING/INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT; LAND USE PRINCIPLE: 
Support the expansion of industrial zoning in targeted industrial areas. 
 
The proposed PUD allows light industrial development on the subject site, which is 
adjacent to two freeways and has access to an arterial street. 
 
 
BUILD THE SUSTAINABLE DESERT CITY CORE VALUE; TREES & SHADE; 
DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Integrate trees and shade into the design of new 
development and redevelopment projects throughout Phoenix. 
 
The proposed PUD sets forth development standards that require enhanced 
landscaping and shade, including detached sidewalks and minimum shade 
requirements for sidewalks and parking areas. This will help to provide shade for 
pedestrians and bicyclists in and around the community and to mitigate the urban heat 
island effect by covering hard surfaces, thus cooling the micro-climate around the 
vicinity.

SUBJECT SITE 
1. 
This request is to rezone an 11.46-acre site located at the northwest corner of 24th 
Street and Portland Street from WU Code T4:3 GW (Walkable Urban Code, 
Transect 4:3, Transit Gateway Character Area) to PUD (Planned Unit 
Development) to allow flex-industrial, employment center, and showroom/retail. The 
subject site is vacant land located within the Gateway TOD Policy Plan area and 
within one mile of the 24th Street / Jefferson Street and 24th Street / Washington 
Street light rail stations.

GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION 
2. 
The subject site is designated as 
Commercial and Residential 10 to 15 
dwelling units per acre. To the north and 
west of the site is designated as 
Transportation and Residential 10 to 15 
dwelling units per acre with the I-10 and 
Loop 202 freeways. To the south is 
designated Residential 10 to 15 dwelling 
units per acre, Residential 15+ dwelling 
units per acre, and Commercial. To the 
east, across 24th Street is designated 
Residential 3.5 to 5 dwelling units per 
acre.  
The applicant is proposing a minor 
General Plan Amendment (GPA-CC-1-
24-8) to change the designation of the 
subject site to Commercial / 
Commerce/Business Park. The uses

and Development Department 
allowed in the proposed PUD are consistent with the proposed General Plan Land 
Use Map designation. 
3.  
Transit Oriented Development Strategic Policy Framework 
The Transit Oriented Development (TOD) 
Strategic Policy Framework is part of the 
City’s General Plan which identified 
planning typologies to describe urban 
environments. The subject site is within 
one mile of the 24th Street / Washington 
Street and 24th Street / Jefferson Street 
light rail stations. The identified 
environment for the station is Minor 
Urban Center. 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. 
Land uses may include supportive retail, 
mid-rise living and low-rise office 
employment. The proposed PUD allows  
a mix of residential and commercial uses

that is consistent with the Minor Urban Center place type in addition to light 
industrial uses beyond 100 feet from 24th Street and in close proximity to the 
freeway interchange. 
4. 
Gateway Transit Oriented Development District Policy Plan 
The site is located within the Gateway TOD District, the boundaries for which are 
State Route 143 or the Hohokam Expressway to the east, Interstate 10 to the west, 
the Loop 202 to the north, and Air Lane to the south. The policy plan adopted for 
the Gateway TOD District 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 Gateway TOD 
District, one key recommendation is the implementation of a form-based zoning 
code. The proposed PUD has development standards based on the Walkable 
Urban Code, which furthers the vision for form-based zoning at this location. The 
proposed standards based on the T5:3 transect are consistent with lower-intensity 
transects generally located farther from the light rail stations. 
The Gateway TOD Policy Plan identifies 
the subject site with the “stabilize” and 
“maintained housing” labels on the land 
use and housing element maps, 
highlighting the need for contextual 
development that is sensitive the 
surrounding neighborhoods. The 
proposed 40-foot height limit is consistent 
with these designations.  
The site also fronts on 24th Street, which 
is identified for a bike lane opportunity in 
the mobility element, and is also in close 
proximity to the Garfield-Edison Park 
Proposed Bike Improvements which will 
connect the site to Downtown Phoenix 
with a bike boulevard. While the 
proposed development would not create 
a new bike lane, it would include bicycle 
parking and a pedestrian friendly frontage 
that meets the vision of alternative 
transportation options at this location. 
 
Gateway TOD Policy Plan, Source: Planning and 
Development Department

Staff Report: Z-23-24-8 
August 2, 2024

The Gateway TOD Policy Plan identifies 
the subject site in the master plan as a 
development opportunity with a future 
conceptual mixed-use development along 
24th Street and office development 
internal to the site, while noting that the 
WU Code would not prescribe specific 
uses but would allow a more flexible mix 
based on market conditions. The 
proposed PUD provides light industrial 
uses, as permitted in the Downtown Code 
Warehouse Character Area, in the interior 
of the site near the freeway interchange 
and allows commercial and multifamily 
residential uses along the 24th Street 
frontage. The plan also identifies 24th 
Street as a complete streets priority 
street. In the public transit map of the 
master plan, Roosevelt Street is identified 
as a transit route priority, highlighting that 
future transit improvements should be 
made along the corridor, which is one 
block south of the subject site.

SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING 
5. 
The subject site is a vacant property 
zoned WU Code T4:3 GW, which was 
the subject of Rezoning Case Z-19-21-
8, approved in 2022. To the north and 
west are freeways. To the south are 
single-family homes zoned R-3 RI, R1-
6, and R1-6 (Approved PAD-13). To 
the south across Portland Street is a 
vacant building zoned C-1. To the east, 
across 24th Street are commercial 
uses and vacant land zoned C-2.

PROPOSAL 
6. 
The proposal was developed utilizing the PUD zoning district. The Planned Unit 
Development (PUD) is intended to create a built environment that is superior to that 
produced by conventional zoning districts and design guidelines. Using a 
collaborative and comprehensive approach, an applicant authors and proposes

Staff Report: Z-23-24-8 
August 2, 2024 
Page 7 of 14 
 
 
standards and guidelines that are tailored to the context of a site on a case by case 
basis. Where the PUD Development Narrative is silent on a requirement, the 
applicable Zoning Ordinance provisions will be applied. 
7. 
The PUD proposes commercial uses adjacent to 24th Street and light industrial 
uses in the interior of the site with development standards designed to simulate the 
Walkable Urban (WU) Code Transect T5:3 district, which would create enhanced 
frontages that interact with the public realm on 24th Street and incorporate other 
pedestrian-friendly design elements. The development standards would also 
implement a height limit and enhanced setback along the south property line to 
protect the adjacent established residential neighborhood. 
8. 
Land Use 
The proposed development narrative allows permitted uses consistent with the 
Downtown Code (DTC) Warehouse Character Area as contained in the land use 
matrix in Section 1204 of the Zoning Ordinance, which would permit a mix of 
residential, commercial, and light industrial uses. There are several other uses 
listed that would be allowed without use permits or special permits, including drive-
through restaurants, outdoor dining, recreation, and liquor service accessory to a 
bar, wholesale sales, and warehousing. 
The PUD proposes to limit certain uses within 100 feet of 24th Street in order to 
maintain compatibility with the walkable urban intent of the area. These prohibited 
uses include industrial and manufacturing uses, self-service storage, and 
warehousing. 
9. 
Development Standards 
The PUD proposes development standards based on the WU Code T5:3 District 
with modifications to accommodate the unique characteristics of the site. The table 
below summarizes the key development standards set forth in the narrative. 
Compared to the WU Code T5:3 District, the PUD has a lower height limit and 
maximum lot coverage, a larger maximum setback on 24th Street, a larger 
minimum setback along the south property line, and a higher open space 
requirement.

11. Design Guidelines 
The PUD proposes design guidelines that enhance the appearance and 
functionality of the buildings, open space, and amenities on-site. Buildings will use a 
consistent color palette and provide a variety of materials on each building façade. 
Building elevations facing 24th Street will contain a minimum of 75 percent glazing 
materials and follow defined frontage type standards. The PUD requires minimum 
amenities to be provided within the open space area. 
AREA PLANS, OVERLAY DISTRICTS, AND INITIATIVES 
12. 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 promote safety and connectivity for 
all users, the PUD proposes standards for shaded, detached sidewalks along 24th 
Street and Portland Street and enhanced shade for all sidewalks. 
13. 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 options for both short- and long-term 
bicycle parking as a means of promoting bicyclist traffic to a variety of destinations. 
The PUD narrative incorporates requirements for bicycle parking to encourage 
multi-modal transportation. 
14. 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. The 
PUD narrative includes standards for shaded, detached sidewalks along 24th Street 
and Portland Street and enhanced shading requirements for sidewalks and surface 
parking lots, in addition to enhanced tree sizes within landscape areas. 
15. Monarch Butterfly 
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

Staff Report: Z-23-24-8 
August 2, 2024 
Page 10 of 14 
 
 
population, the PUD narrative includes standards for the planting of milkweed 
shrubs, or other native nectar plant species, on the subject site. 
16. 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. The PUD proposes a standard for electric vehicle parking, 
charging and infrastructure. 
17. 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. The PUD incorporates requirements for water conservation in the 
landscape standards. 
18. 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 
Section 716 of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance expand its recycling and other waste 
diversion programs. The applicant has not determined whether recycling services 
will be incorporated, however recycling is listed as a potential amenity within the 
open space areas within the PUD Narrative. 
COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY 
19. At the time this staff report was written, staff has received one letter in support of

INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 
20. The Street Transportation Department commented that a minimum 40 feet of right-
of-way shall be dedicated for the west side of 24th Street adjacent to City of 
Phoenix right-of-way, additional dedications and improvements shall be constructed 
as required by the Traffic Impact Analysis, a minimum 10-foot-wide sidewalk 
easement shall be dedicated for the west side of 24th Street, vehicular access shall 
be prohibited onto Portland Street and 22nd Street unless emergency access is 
required by the Fire Department, right-of-way shall be dedicated for the extension of 
the existing alleyway and for 22nd Street unless abandoned, all electrical utilities 
within the right-of-way shall be undergrounded, unused driveways shall be replaced 
with sidewalk, curb, and gutter, and the developer shall construct all streets within 
and adjacent to the development with all required improvements and comply with 
ADA standards. These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 2 through 10. 
21. The Aviation Department commented that the owner shall record documents that 
disclose the existence and operational characteristics of Phoenix Sky Harbor 
Airport to future owners and tenants of the property. This comment is addressed in 
Stipulation No. 11. 
OTHER 
22. 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. This is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 12 through 14. 
23. 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. 15. 
24. 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.

Re: Baker Development - 9.8 acres at the SWC of 24th Street and Loop 202 
 
Dear Mr. Bednarek: 
 
Baker Development has presented a development plan for two, light industrial buildings and a free-
standing showroom building to our executive team.  
 
As stakeholders in the community located a few blocks away, we support this plan because we 
believe the plan will revitalize this economically underserved community, positively impact the 
quality-of-life for those who live and work in the area and be the catalyst for future investment in our 
community.  
 
Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this process. Please feel free to contact me with any 
questions regarding this support letter.  
 
Sincerely, 
 
 
 
Stephen A. Purves 
President & CEO 
Valleywise Health
