The site is currently a single-family ranch residence adjacent to similar properties to 
the east and south. The proposed increase in density will provide additional housing 
options in the area while still being mindful of the character of the surrounding area. 
 
CELEBRATE OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS CORE 
VALUE; CERTAINTY AND CHARACTER; DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Protect and 
enhance the character of each neighborhood and its various housing lifestyles 
through new development that is compatible in scale, design, and appearance. 
A reasonable increase in density on this property will provide compatibility with 
smaller lot single-family subdivisions to the north and southwest of the site while 
remaining compatible in design and scale to the surrounding community. With the  
RE-35 and S-1 lots to the east and south, and the R1-6 lots to the southwest and 
north of the site, the development of R1-10 lots will be compatible with existing 
conditions and will act as an appropriate transition between the different lot sizes 
present in the area. The proposed home designs are consistent with other homes in 
the area. 
 
CELEBRATE OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS CORE 
VALUE; CERTAINTY AND CHARACTER; DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Require 
appropriate transitions/buffers between neighborhoods and adjacent uses. 
The development of the site as a single-family subdivision will provide an appropriate 
transition between the existing ranch residences and the single-family residential 
subdivisions in the area. This project will further serve as a buffer between the self-
storage facilities to the west of the site and the remainder of the neighborhood. 
 
CELEBRATE OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS CORE 
VALUE; CERTAINTY AND CHARACTER; DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Enhance the 
compatibility of residential infill projects by carefully designing the edges of the 
development to be sensitive to adjacent existing housing. 
Lots that abut the large ranch residences to the east will be limited to a maximum 
height of one story and twenty feet, and include larger lot widths, to provide a 
reasonable buffer between the existing neighborhood conditions and the new 
development. 
 
BUILD THE SUSTAINABLE DESERT CITY CORE VALUE; TREES AND SHARE; 
DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Integrate trees and shade into the design of new 
development and redevelopment projects throughout Phoenix. 
The proposal, as stipulated, will provide tree-shaded sidewalks which will help to 
increase pedestrian activity and reduce the urban heat island effect.

Background/Issues/Analysis 
1.
This is a request to rezone a 7.67-
acre site located at the northeast
corner of 42nd Street and Peak
View Road from RE-35
(Residential Estate District) to
R1-10 (Single-Family Residence
District) to allow a single-family
residential subdivision by Cachet
Homes. The site is currently
zoned RE-35 and, although it is
located within the general area of
the Tatum Ranch Planned
Community District (PCD), it is not
part of the PCD.

The subject site was annexed into the City of Phoenix on January 19, 1975 under 
Annexation No. 121. The majority of the area was vacant land in 1991, with some large-
lot single-family residences scattered throughout. Over time, the area has been 
developed into mostly single-family residential subdivisions, with some commercial 
uses to the west of the site along Cave Creek Road. The proposed development is 
similar in nature and design to the single-family residential subdivisions to the northeast 
ad southwest of the site, which are zoned R1-6 (Single-Family Residence District). 
 
 
 
3.  
The site has General Plan Land 
Use map designations of 
Residential 0 to 2 dwelling units 
per acre on the southern portion 
and Residential 2 to 5 dwelling 
units per acre on the northern 
portion. The northern portion is 
approximately 5 acres and, at a 
maximum allowed density of 5 
dwelling units per acre, per the 
General Plan, can contain up to 
25 units on site. The southern 
portion is approximately 2.7 
acres, with a maximum density 
designation of 2 dwelling units 
per acre, which would result in 
a maximum of 5 dwelling units 
(rounded down from 5.4). As such,  
he entire project site permits a maximum of 30 dwelling units. The proposed 
development has a total of 23 dwelling units across both portions. As a combined 
development, the project will be consistent with the General Plan density designations.

4. 
The project site is located within the 
boundaries of the North Land Use 
Plan, which designates this area as 
Residential 0 to 2 dwelling units per 
acre on the southern portion of the 
site and 2 to 5 dwelling units per acre 
on the northern portion of the site. 
The North Land Use Plan was created 
in 1997 with the purpose of 
establishing growth patterns while 
preserving the desert landscape and 
character of the area. The plan 
recognizes the importance that the 
rural character and lifestyle play in 
determining appropriate land use densities. Similar to the General Plan Land Use Map 
designations, the North Land Use Plan lists two density designations for the project site: 
the northern portion is designated Residential 2 to 5 dwelling units per acre, and the 
southern portion is designated Residential 0 to 2 dwelling units per acre. As explained 
in Background Item No. 3, the development is permitted up to 30 dwelling units across 
the combined north and south parcels. The developer is proposing 23 residential lots, 
which is under the maximum allowed density. Further, staff is recommending that 23 
lots be the maximum allowed on this site, which is addressed in Stipulation No. 3.

5.  
The site plan depicts 23 
single-family residential 
units under the Planned 
Residential Development 
option of the R1-10 zoning 
district. The common 
landscape area is located 
on the southeastern 
portion of the site and 
serves as a buffer between 
the project site and the 
property directly adjacent 
to the east, as well as 
providing some natural 
visual interest to the 
streetscape. The project 
will be a gated and 
contains two cul-de-sac 
interior streets. The site 
plan submitted with the 
request shows a minimum 
lot width of 70 feet. 
However, due to 
considerable site constraints 
such as water easement locations, street layouts and requirements regarding open 
space, landscaping, and pedestrian connectivity (see below), the minimum sizes of the 
lots are likely to fluctuate through the development process. The Planned Residential 
Development option of the R1-10 zoning requires a minimum lot size of 45 feet. To 
ensure that the proposed lots are compatible in scale to the surrounding 
neighborhoods, staff is recommending a minimum lot width of 65 feet, per Stipulation 
No. 4. The homes directly adjacent to the east of the project site are large lot 
residences. To minimize impact to these homes, staff is recommending that the 
development shall be limited to a maximum of 23 residential lots, per Stipulation No. 3, 
and all lots that abut the large lot neighbors will be limited to one story in height, per 
Stipulation No. 2. 
 
 
6. 
Conceptual elevations were not submitted as part of this rezoning request. The Single-
Family Design Review Standards in the Zoning Ordinance address building elements 
including, but not limited to the buildings’ interface with the street, driveway orientation, 
street orientation, housing diversity, color diversity, roof diversity, building materials, 
plant palettes, exterior detailing, and garage treatment. Single-family design review is 
required for lots less than 65 feet in width. Although the proposed residential lots meet 
the threshold to not require Single-Family Design Review, staff is recommending 
Stipulation No. 1 to ensure high quality elevations.

7. 
The developer has proposed high quality wall materials such as decorative split-face 
CMU block with scoured columns, which are required for all perimeter walls that are 
visible from public right-of-way or private streets, per Stipulation No. 10. Further, the 
developer has provided a Design Concept Plan which depicts an entryway with 
enhanced design and materials, therefore staff is recommending the development 
incorporates these features. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 11. 
 
 
 
 
 
8. 
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. To support the City’s urban forestry efforts, staff is recommending 
that the applicant provide a minimum 4,500 square-foot landscape area along the west 
side of 42nd Street and that the developer provide a minimum of 10 percent open 
space, both of which will be landscaped per Zoning Ordinance standards. These are 
addressed in Stipulations Nos. 5 and 7. 
 
The minimum 4,500 square feet of landscape area on the west side of 42nd Street is 
being recommended in lieu of a minimum landscape setback due to site constraints -  
specifically, the street widths and the radius requirements for the vehicle turnaround 
south of the community gate. A minimum landscape setback width could create 
compliance difficulties as the developer moves through the development process to 
meet all technical street requirements. The minimum square footage stipulated is 
intended to guarantee that this area will be sufficiently landscaped while still giving the 
developer enough flexibility to change the layout if needed.

Staff is also recommending that the sidewalks along Peak View Road and the east and 
west sides of 42nd Street be detached with a 5-foot landscape strip between the 
sidewalk and back of curb, with trees planted on both sides of the sidewalk to provide 
pedestrians with adequate shade, per Stipulation No. 8. The size and layout of the site 
created challenges in providing detached sidewalks in all interior streets of the project, 
so the developer is required to plant at minimum two trees per residential lot to promote 
shade on the attached sidewalks, per Stipulation No. 9. 
 
 
9. 
In 2014, the City of Phoenix City Council adopted the Complete Streets Guiding 
Principles, which 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 support these principles, staff has added 
stipulations to require that the developer construct a detached sidewalk, with the 
addition of landscaping between the sidewalk and the curb, on the north side of Peak 
View Road and the east side of 42nd Street, per Stipulation No. 8. The development 
has one main common open space area adjacent to Peak View Road. To provide 
connectivity from the northernmost residential lots to this open space, staff is 
recommending a pedestrian pathway be constructed, per Stipulation No. 6. Finally, staff 
recommends that the pedestrian crossing at the main entry driveway be constructed of 
a material other than that used to pave the drive aisles and parking surfaces to alert 
cars entering and exiting the community that pedestrians may be present, and 
increasing pedestrian safety. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 12.

As part of the Reimagine Phoenix initiative, the City of Phoenix is committed to 
increasing the waste diversion rate to 40 percent by 2020 and to better manage its solid 
waste resources. The City of Phoenix offers recycling collection for all single-family 
residences. The provision of recycling containers was not addressed in the applicant’s 
submittals; however, per City Code, the City provides recycling containers and services 
to all single-family residences. 
 
 
COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY 
11. 
At the time this staff report was written, the applicant received one email from an 
adjacent neighbor stating concerns with the height of the proposed homes and potential 
light and noise pollution resulting from the proposal. 
 
 
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 
12. 
The Street Transportation Department has required that the developer dedicate 40-feet 
of right-of-way for the north half of Peak View Road and provide 25 feet of paving on 
this road from the monument line to the face of curb, per Stipulations No. 13 and 14. 
The department has also required that the developer extend and develop 42nd Street in 
accordance with City Code and development requirements if retained as a public street 
and that all streets be constructed with all required improvements, and comply to 
current ADA standards. These requirements are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 15 and 
16. 
 
 
13. 
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. 17. 
 
 
OTHER 
14. 
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 overall proposal is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map and North Land 
Use Plan designations of Residential 0 to 2 and 2 to 5 dwelling units per acre. On the 
entire site, a maximum of 30 dwelling units is permitted. The proposal consists of 23 
units, making it consistent with the density designations.

Walter, 
 
Again, thank you for your email. I have discuss this with the developer and the homes will be single story.   
 
To summarize again, we will only be putting in the minimum required street lighting for a development with private 
streets. These few lights will be shielded.  
 
We must comply with the City for the intersection of Peak View and 42nd Street since those are public streets, but that 
should be a good distance from your lot. 
 
Thanks for your inquire, we hope you will support the project as we move forward. 
 
 
Best Regards,

Subject: Rezoning case Z-65-19 
 
Hi Michael, 
 
I just got a letter in the mail a couple of days ago about rezoning case Z-65-19 near Peak View and 42nd Street. 
 
My home is adjacent to the property and would be directly affected by this rezoning.  When purchasing my property, 
the major reasons why I choose to purchase the property was the unobstructed views to the South, how quiet the area 
was, how dark the area was, and that the property to the South was zoned RE-35 so there would be limited 
development on the property. 
 
Although in theory I don’t mind that the property be rezoned, what I am concerned about is what the impact of the 
rezoning will have on what drew me to the location originally. 
 
From what I see in the artist renditions is that these homes are single level homes.  However, according to the site plan 
document, the homes can be up to 30 feet high, which could house a 2 story building.  Since the site plan states that the 
structures can be 30 feet, this would not prevent the developer from putting up a 30 foot structure.  This is of major 
concern as the setback or only 10 feet from the property line in the back of the property. 
 
Another concern is the noise and light pollution to the area.  Although Phoenix is not a dark sky community, the area is a 
dark sky area, with Cave Creek becoming certified as a dark sky community. What is being done to ensure that these 
properties do not impact the noise and light levels? 
 
I hope to be at the meeting on Monday night, but due to the late notice I’m not sure if I will be able to attend. 
 
Thanks, 
Walter Boehrer
