Surrounding Land Uses and Zoning Land Use Zoning On Site Vacant R-O South Single-family residential R1-6 West Medical office and residential R-O East (Across 39th Avenue) Park R1-6 North (Across Cactus Road) Police Station R1-6 SP Background/Issues/Analysis SUBJECT SITE 1. This request is to rezone 1.19 acres located approximately 40 feet south of the southwest corner of 39th Avenue and Cactus Road from R-O (Residential Office – Restricted Commercial) to C-1 (Neighborhood Retail) to allow commercial uses (office and restaurant). SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING 2. To the west is a medical office and a residence zoned R-O on the same parcel as the subject site. To the south are single- family homes zoned R1-6 (Single-Family Residence District). To the north, across Cactus Road, is a police station zoned R1-6 SP (Single-Family Residence District, Special Permit). To the east, across 39th Aerial Zoning Map; Source: City of Phoenix Staff Report: Z-20-24-1 February 10, 2025 Page 4 of 11 Avenue, is a park zoned R1-6. GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP 3. The General Plan Land Use Map designation for the parcel containing the subject site and the surrounding parcels to the west and south is Residential 3.5 to 5 dwelling units per acre. To the north, across Cactus Road, is designated as Public/Quasi- Public. To the east, across 39th Avenue, is designated Parks/Open Space - Publicly Owned. The proposal for C-1 zoning is not consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map General Plan Land Use Map; Source: City of Phoenix designation; however, a General Plan Amendment is not required as the site is under 10 acres. 4. North Mountain Character Plan The North Mountain Village Character Plan was approved and adopted into the Phoenix General Plan through General Plan Amendment GPA-1-19. The proposed zoning advances these concepts by locating commercial uses along an arterial street that is sensitive to the character of the surrounding neighborhoods. • Land Use Principle: Locate land uses with the greatest height and most intense uses within limits based on village character, land use needs, infrastructure and transportation system capacity. • 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. PROPOSAL 5. Site Plan The applicant proposes to develop the subject site with a 2,000-square-foot coffee shop with a drive-through and a 3,000-square-foot office building. The conceptual site plan shows 30 parking spaces accessed from an expanded driveway on Cactus Road and a new driveway on 39th Avenue. The drive- through would require a use permit due to the proximity to a single-family residential district and a variance for the landscape setback adjacent to 39th Avenue and to the south; therefore, staff does not recommend general conformance to the site plan. Staff Report: Z-20-24-1 February 10, 2025 Page 5 of 11 Conceptual Site Plan; Source: Applicant 6. Conceptual Building Elevations The conceptual building elevations, attached as an exhibit, depict a one-story, 20-foot tall coffee shop and one-story, 16-foot tall office building. Staff does not recommend general conformance to the elevations. Design guidelines in the Zoning Ordinance will require that buildings contain multiple exterior accent materials that exhibit quality and durability. Staff Report: Z-20-24-1 February 10, 2025 Page 6 of 11 Conceptual Building Elevations; Source: Applicant STUDIES AND POLICIES 7. 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 proposed development will provide shaded, detached sidewalks on Cactus Road and 39th Avenue, enhanced surface parking lot shading, and enhanced shade for pedestrian walkways. These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 6, 8, 9, and 16. 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. In order to facilitate multimodal transportation, the proposal will include bicycle parking, detached sidewalks, and pedestrian walkways with features contrasting them from drive aisles, as required in Stipulation Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, and 9. 9. 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. Stipulation Nos. 1 through 3 require bicycle parking, a bicycle repair Staff Report: Z-20-24-1 February 10, 2025 Page 7 of 11 station, and electric bicycle chargers. 10. 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. 13 through 18. 11. 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. Stipulation No. 4 requires 5% of required parking spaces to be EV Ready. 12. 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 application materials indicate the proposed development will provide recycling receptacles. COMMUNITY CORRESONDENCE *13.

It was our intention to attend this meeting today April 15th, unfortunately we cashed a cold an are not feeling well. We would like to start by saying that, hearing about a possible coffee shop opening across the street from us sounds exiting! Being owners of a small business our self's, we support local businesses!! Despite the fact this is something new and existing for our community we do have some big concerns. We have seen a huge increase on traffic in the mornings and afternoon. There is s high-school and a middle school just across from us. Parents trying to drop their kids at school has made a horrible impact in our street. There are days we can't even get out of our own driveway because people are using " Wethersfield rd" to skip traffic. And have the audacity to get upset at us homeowners! Can you just imagine the chaos once a coffee shop opens up??!!! how is traffic going to be directed??? There are kids walking to school in the mornings, crossing CACTUS Rd.. this street in the last 5yrs has gotten so dangerous to cross. People run red lights causing constants accidents and even going into our neighbors backyard. Can the city do something about possible cheating the lights to lights that have arrows to help with traffic?? (Attaching ideas) We also need and request some kind of sign that let's these people trying to skip traffic that our street of not a school zone area!! What about limiting the speed zone?? Speed bumps on Cactus? SOMETHING to slow these humans! We can't event walk to the park any longer with our feeling insecure crossing Cactus Rd/39th Ave. Also, would like to petition to have the fence from 38th Ave to 39th Ave facing Cactus Rd to be painted. This wall has not been painting in the last 15 yrs! A fresh coat of paint would be wonderful specially if a new building is coming in. We appreciate the opportunity we have to speak about our request and needs for our community. We as citizens and neighbors want the best for our children and community. Please consider our petition an concerns on your final hearing.

I understand that a request for rezoning has been made. I am against any rezoning of this land. I am very concerned about the impact this will have on our community due to the increased volume of traffic within the neighborhood. This is already a busy corner due to the PPD precinct, Tumbleweed elementary and Moon Valley H.S. This is especially true during the morning rush hour, and around 2:15 to 3:15. There has been talk of a drive thru coffee shop as one of the tenants. That will make things even more crowded during those times.The lines to this type of establishment often back up onto the city streets. This will create an unsafe environment for motorists and pedestrians. This will also be a problem with so many of our students walking to and from school. Impatient drivers are unsafe drivers and I am afraid that this will be creating a very hazardous situation for our walking students. I am an original owner (1978) and our neighborhood has worked very hard to keep this a neighborhood not a commercial area and I would like to see it remain as such. There are plenty of available opportunities for retail on the corners of 35th Ave and 43rd Ave. we don't need to have anything like this on 39th Ave. Thank you, Glenna Teel 11622 N. 39th Drive Phoenix,AZ 85029 602-550-7785
