The Street Transportation Department and PHO recommended denial based on Section 507 
Tab A.II.A.6.3.1 of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance prohibiting nonresidential uses access to local 
or collector streets. 
6.3.1. Nonresidential uses should not be permitted to access local or collector streets if 
adequate access is available to arterial streets. (P) 
Rationale: Nonresidential traffic on local streets should be minimized and directed out of 
neighborhoods. 
The subject site is zoned C-3, developed with a nonresidential use, and 25th Street is a local 
residential road. The local street is the only street frontage directly adjacent to the property. 
Access to arterial streets is through a shared access drive. The proposed access to the local 
street can be minimized and directed out of the neighborhood by requiring a sign that 
prohibits/discourages southbound traffic on the local street.
