The site has a General Plan 
Land Use Map designation of 
Commercial. The same 
designation exists to the 
south and west of the site. 
North of the subject site is a 
Mixed Use (Commercial / 
Commerce – Business Park) 
designation. East of the site, 
across 59th Avenue, is the 
Residential 2 to 3.5 dwelling 
units per acre designation.
The proposal is consistent 
with the Commercial General 
Plan Land Use Map 
designation as the 
commercial land use 
designation accommodates

multifamily 
development at varying 
scales and intensities.
The site is also located 
within the Laveen 
Village Core, which is 
intended to be the 
clearly identifiable 
central focus for the 
village with a 
pedestrian-oriented mix 
of land uses. This 
proposal will be the first 
development within the 
Laveen Village Core, 
as all properties within 
these boundaries are 
currently used for 
agricultural operations. 
The proposal will provide
high density housing
within the core and
adjacent to a major transportation corridor.

AREA PLANS, OVERLAY DISTRICTS, AND INITIATIVES
4.
Laveen Southwest Growth Study
The site is located within the 
boundaries of the Laveen 
Southwest Growth Study, 
which was developed in 1997 
to analyze the existing 
conditions of the Laveen 
Village. It provides a land use 
and design planning 
framework to help shape the 
growth in Laveen, while 
accounting for newly annexed 
farmland as well as the future 
development of the South 
Mountain Freeway Loop, 
which has since been 
completed.
The Land Use Plan contained 
within this study designates 
the subject site as 
Commercial and is consistent 
with the current overall 
General Plan Land Use Map. 
The proposal is consistent 
with this designation and the 
proposed site plan and staff 
recommended stipulations
also incorporate several

of the design policies set forth in the study. These include incorporation of wide, 
detached sidewalks along 59th Avenue, robust landscaping standards, enhanced 
open space, and architectural style that pays homage to the agricultural heritage of 
Laveen.
PROPOSAL
5.
The proposed site plan depicts a multifamily residential development consisting of a 
mix of building types ranging from one to three stories in height, and residences 
ranging from one to three bedrooms units. The development proposes two 
vehicular entry drives along its 59th Avenue frontage. The southernmost driveway 
contains a roundabout style driveway entry that connects to two separate gated 
vehicular entries into the development. This driveway area will also have guest
parking spaces with pedestrian access to the leasing office and clubhouse. The site 
plan depicts several desirable site design elements and amenities, which are further 
reinforced through staff recommended stipulations (discussed below). As such, staff 
is recommending general conformance to this site plan, per Stipulation No. 1.

Page 8 of 19
Building Heights
As noted in Background Item No. 3, the property to the east of the site, across 59th 
Avenue, consists of a single-family residential neighborhood with mostly single-
story residences. To ensure an appropriate height transition as one moves west 
towards the Loop 202 freeway, staff is recommending that the buildings adjacent to
59th Avenue be restricted to a maximum building height of 2 stories and 30 feet, 
and all other buildings to a maximum of 3 stories and 40 feet. This is depicted on 
the proposed site plan and is addressed in Stipulation No. 2.
59th Avenue Streetscape
To further ensure an appropriate transition from the single-family residential 
community to the west, staff is recommending that a minimum 30-foot-wide 
landscape setback be provided along 59th Avenue. Within the streetscape setback, 
staff is recommending that large caliper trees be planted to provide both shade for 
pedestrians and a vegetative buffer between this site and the homes across the 
street. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 4. The site is also located along a 
planned trail as depicted in the city’s Parks and Trails Map. This will be provided via 
a 10-foot-wide public Shared Use Path (SUP) along 59th Avenue and will be 
detached. Staff is recommending that the landscape strip between the SUP and 
back of curb be planted with minimum two-inch caliper trees, vegetation to prevent 
St

mid-block crossings, and that a minimum of 75 percent shade be provided along 
the path at maturity. These recommendations are addressed in Stipulation No. 3. 
 
Staff is also recommending enhancements to the primary entry drive on the 
southeastern portion of the site. These enhancements shall include a pedestrian 
connection between the interior of the development and the public sidewalk, which 
shall be detached from the vehicular driveway and lined with landscape areas of no 
less than five feet in width along both sides, planted with a mixture of ornamental 
trees, shrubs and flower beds. Further, staff is recommending that the entire 
driveway surface (outside of the community access gates) be constructed of a 
material other than that used to pave the parking surfaces. These 
recommendations are addressed in Stipulation No. 6. 
 
Additional improvements to the streetscape are recommended by staff, including 
the utilization of open fencing along 59th Avenue, or a combination of solid masonry 
and wrought iron open view fencing, as well as decorative ranch rail fencing 
elements to reflect the agricultural heritage of Laveen. These are addressed in 
Stipulation No. 7 and 9. 
 
Perimeter Treatments 
The proposed site plan depicts a minimum 15-foot landscape setback along the 
north, west and south perimeter property lines. Staff is recommending that these 
perimeter landscape areas be landscaped with minimum 2-inch caliper trees to 
buffer from adjacent properties, as well as with minimum 75 percent live 
groundcover. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 5. Staff is also recommending 
enhanced perimeter wall design around the property, per Stipulation No. 8. 
 
Open Space and Shade 
The site plan depicts three open space areas: a primary amenity area located within 
close proximity to the primary entry driveway, a secondary amenity area within the 
north-central part of the site, and a third open space area that also functions as a 
retention basin within the north-western portion of the site. Staff is recommending 
that a minimum 18 percent of the site be provided as open space, and that it be 
equitably distributed throughout the site, per Stipulation No. 10. Staff is also 
recommending that the primary amenity space remain in close proximity to the 
primary entry and that it include a minimum of one swimming pool and one 
clubhouse. Staff is also recommending that a minimum of three benches be 
provided throughout the development within shaded areas. One of these should be 
located near the primary entry drive. These recommendations are addressed in 
Stipulation Nos. 10 and 11. Furthermore, staff is recommending that no more than 
50 percent of the landscape areas within common areas or ten percent of the net lot 
area, whichever is less, be planted in turf or other high-water use plants. This is 
addressed in Stipulation No. 12.

Staff Report: Z-41-21-7
September 10, 2021
Page 10 of 19
To ensure thermal comfort for residents and guests, staff is recommending that 
open space areas and pedestrian pathways be shaded at a minimum of 75 percent 
shade with a combination of trees and structural shade, per Stipulation No. 14. 
Further heat reduction is recommended through planting of shade trees throughout 
surface parking areas to achieve a minimum of 25 percent shade, per Stipulation 
No. 15.
Pedestrian Safety
Due to the number of outdoor amenity areas and the site’s proximity to major 
commercial centers to the north on 59th Avenue and Baseline Road, significant 
pedestrian activity is expected to occur. As such, staff is recommending that a 
pedestrian circulation plan be put in place for the development. All pedestrian 
pathways should incorporate pedestrian-scale lighting and, where the pathways 
cross drive aisles, they should be constructed of a material that visually contrasts 
from the drive aisle surface. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 13. Additional 
traffic calming measures at all vehicular points of entry are also recommended to 
enhance pedestrian safety on the site, per Stipulation No. 18.
As stated above, the site is located near commercial centers to the north, and 59th 
Avenue will be an important bicycle route for nearby residents to access these 
centers. To promote the use of alternative transportation modes, staff is

recommending that the development provide bicycle amenities per the standards 
set forth in Section 1307.H of the Zoning Ordinance, which is the Walkable Urban 
Code. Staff is also recommending the provision of one bicycle repair station so 
residents and guests can service their bicycles at a convenient location. These are 
addressed in Stipulation No. 17.
6.
The proposed elevations depict a mixture of two- to three-story buildings and a 
single-story clubhouse building. The elevations feature pitched roof elements, pop-
outs, balconies, and a variety of building materials on all building facades. Vertical 
siding and standing seam roofing recall the agricultural style of Laveen and have 
been incorporated into the overall modern architectural style. The homage to 
Laveen’s agrarian architectural style is consistent with the design recommendations 
set forth in the Laveen Southwest Growth Study. As such, staff is recommending 
general conformance to these elevations, per Stipulation No. 1.

AREA PLANS, OVERLAY DISTRICTS, AND INITIATIVES 
7. 
Housing Phoenix Plan 
In June 2020, the Phoenix City Council approved the Housing Phoenix Plan. This 
Plan contains policy initiatives for the development and preservation of housing with 
a vision of creating a stronger and more vibrant Phoenix through increased housing 
options for residents at all income levels and family sizes. Phoenix’s rapid 
population growth and housing underproduction has led to a need for over 163,000 
new housing units. Current shortages of housing supply relative to demand are a 
primary reason why housing costs are increasing. The proposed development 
supports the Plan’s goal of preserving or creating 50,000 housing units by 2030 by 
providing an opportunity for high density residential development. 
 
 
8. 
Tree and Shade Master Plan 
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. Staff is recommending significant tree shade cover for 
pedestrian pathways, SUP, open space areas, perimeter landscape areas, and 
surface parking areas, per Stipulation Nos. 3, 4, 5, 6, 14, 15, and 16. 
 
 
9. 
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 ensure pedestrian safety throughout 
the development and along the public right-of-way, staff is recommending a 
detached Shared Use Path, a pedestrian circulation plan which includes pedestrian-
scale lighting, detached pedestrian connection to the street, and significant bicycle 
amenities, per Stipulation Nos. 3, 6, 13, and 17. 
 
 
10. 
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 proposal incorporates requirements for bicycle parking that follows standards 
set forth in the Walkable Urban Code, which is the city’s form-based zoning code 
intended to enhance the pedestrian realm and encourage multi-modal 
transportation. Staff is further recommending a bicycle fix-it station to provide 
residents and guests with a convenient place to service their bicycles. This is 
addressed in Stipulation No. 17.

11. 
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. 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 proposal will 
utilize regular trash and recycling bins. 
 
 
COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY 
12. 
At the time this staff report was written, staff had not received any community 
correspondence regarding this request. 
 
 
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 
13. 
The Phoenix Fire Department has noted that they do not anticipate any problems 
with this case and that the site and/or buildings shall comply with the Phoenix Fire 
Code. 
 
 
14. 
The Public Transit Department has requested that the developer provide clearly 
defined, accessible pathways that connect all building entrances and exits, and 
public sidewalks, and that they be constructed of materials that visually contrast 
with parking and drive aisle surfaces. These are addressed in Stipulation No. 13. 
This department has further requested that all pedestrian paths and sidewalks be 
shaded at 75 percent at maturity. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 15. 
 
 
15. 
The Street Transportation Department has required a 55-foot dedication for the 
west half of 59th Avenue, a 14-foot-wide median along 59th Avenue from Siesta 
Way to the northern edge of the development, and a minimum five-foot-wide 
detached sidewalk and minimum 13-foot wide landscape area between the 
sidewalk and back of curb. As explained in Background Item No. 5, a Shared Use 
Path will be provided along the street in lieu of a sidewalk and will meet the intent of 
the sidewalk requirement. The department has further required a shaded pedestrian 
pathway constructed of bricks, paver, or similar material, connecting the site to 59th 
Avenue, which was also discussed in Background Item No. 5. Additionally, the 
department requires that a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) be submitted for the 
development, that any existing irrigation facilities be undergrounded and relocated 
outside of city right-of-way, and that all streets be constructed with all required 
improvements and comply with current ADA standards. These requirements are 
addressed in Stipulation Nos. 6, 18 through 24. 
 
 
OTHER 
16. 
The site is located in a larger area identified as being archaeologically sensitive. If
