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 the expansion of industrial development on the subject site, 
which is within and adjacent to an industrial property. 
 
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, including enhanced setbacks, 
enhanced landscaping, and a height transition, to prevent any negative impact on the 
adjacent residential properties. 
 
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 a 66.38-acre site located at the southwest corner of 52nd 
Street and McDowell Road from IND. PK. (Industrial Park), R-3A (Multifamily 
Residence District), C-2 (Intermediate Commercial), and P-1 (Passenger 
Automobile Parking, Limited) to PUD (Planned Unit Development) to allow general 
commercial, commerce park, and industrial. The subject site contains industrial 
uses, surface parking lots, and vacant land. 
The site was annexed into the City of Phoenix from unincorporated Maricopa 
County in 1959. In 1961, most of the site was zone IND. PK. while portions were 
zoned C-2, R-3, and R1-6. The R1-6 portion was rezoned to IND. PK. in 1967 
(Case No. Z-64-67), and the R-3 portion was rezoned to R-3A in 1981 (Case No. Z-
262-81) and P-1 in 1965 (Case No. Z-63-65). The site was originally platted in 1965 
for the Motorola, Inc. Semiconductor Products Division Industrial Park Subdivision 
and was subsequently developed with industrial uses.

PROPOSAL 
4. 
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

Staff Report: Z-54-23-6 
February 23, 2024 
Page 5 of 13 
 
 
collaborative and comprehensive approach, an applicant authors and proposes 
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. 
5. 
The PUD proposes development standards to facilitate industrial and commercial 
development and contains standards for enhanced setbacks and landscaping, 
along with a height transition, to maintain sensitivity to the adjacent single-family 
context, while also providing an enhanced streetscape with trees and shade. 
6. 
Land Use 
The proposed development narrative lists the following permitted uses: 
• All uses permitted in the A-1 (Light Industrial District) zoning district. 
• All uses permitted in the CP/GCP (Commerce Park District / General 
Commerce Park Option) zoning district. 
• All uses permitted in the C-3 (General Commercial) zoning district. 
• Public utility buildings and facilities. 
The proposed narrative would prohibit certain uses, including residential uses, adult 
uses, marijuana related uses, pawn shops, various types of storage yards, 
meatpacking, and slaughtering houses. 
7. 
Development Standards 
The PUD proposes development standards to facilitate industrial and commercial 
development. The table below summarizes the key development standards set forth 
in the narrative. The PUD shall comply with the A-1 zoning district unless modified 
by the standard listed in the narrative. The PUD allows additional height compared 
with the A-1 district, but it includes a height limit along the west property boundary 
adjacent to the residential neighborhood. The PUD standards for maximum lot 
coverage, minimum building setbacks, minimum open space, bicycle parking and 
shade are all enhanced beyond the minimum requirements of the A-1 district.

Staff Recommends Stipulation No. 1.c to clarify that in the event that 50th Street is 
abandoned, the landscape setback may be measured from the current property line 
in order to allow for a potential driveway. 
9. 
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 McDowell Road and 52nd Street will contain a minimum 
of 45 percent glazing materials. The PUD requires minimum amenities to be 
provided within each open space area and hardscape design patterns to promote a 
cohesive visual impact and wayfinding. 
AREA PLANS, OVERLAY DISTRICTS, AND INITIATIVES 
10. 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 
McDowell Road and 52nd Street. 
11. 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. 
12. 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 McDowell 
Road and 52nd Street and enhanced shading requirements for surface parking lots 
and enhanced tree sizes within landscape areas. 
13. 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

Staff Report: Z-54-23-6 
February 23, 2024 
Page 8 of 13 
 
 
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. 
14. 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. 8 through 12. 
15. 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 proposal does not anticipate recycling at this time; 
however, the application materials state that waste will be taken off-site by certified 
bonded carriers. Additionally, the PUD includes an option in the Sustainability 
Section to use recycled and/or salvaged construction materials and to implement a 
construction waste management plan to identify materials to be diverted from 
disposal. 
COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY 
16. At the time this staff report was written, staff has received one letter in opposition 
due to concerns with the PUD process and one letter providing general comments 
about access for neighboring commercial properties. 
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS

eastbound McDowell Road. These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 2 and 3. 
18. The Street Transportation Department commented that a right-hand turn pocket 
shall be provided on the south side of McDowell Road, the existing streetscape 
shall be replenished with approved landscaping and trees along McDowell Road 
and 52nd Street, 50th Street shall be constructed to comply with improvement and 
termination standards, 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. 4 through 7. 
19. 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. 13. 
OTHER 
20. 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. 14 through 16. 
21. 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. 17. 
22. 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.

Proposed PUD Z-54-23, 52nd St. and McDowell
Dear Reader. 
 
Please note my objection to this zoning change, not because of its proposed use, but because the PUD process is 
so very broken and biased toward developers without properly informing current residents of changes.  When a 
PUD is approved, residents are told that there will be no changes without beginning the process again.  What 
actually happens is that stipulations are put in place and then quietly mixed in with regular business and 
knocked out one by one until the project bears little resemblance to the initial plan presented to the public.  NO 
MORE PUDs!! 
 
I would support a zoning change specifically for a data center or other light industrial use, but will oppose the 
change to PUD.  Thank you.
