Background/Issues/Analysis 
SUBJECT SITE 
1. 
This request is to rezone 9.78 acres located approximately 670 feet south and 
1,270 feet east of the southeast corner of  North Valley Parkway and Sonoran 
Desert Drive from 8.67 acres of R1-8 NBCOD (Single-Family Residence District, 
North Black Canyon Overlay District) and 1.11 acres of FH NBCOD (Flood 
Hazard and Erosion Management District, North Black Canyon Overlay District) 
to R-3 NBCOD (Multifamily Residence District, North Black Canyon Overlay 
District) for multifamily residential townhomes. 
GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION 
2. 
The General Plan Land Use Map designation for the subject site is Residential 2 
to 5 dwelling units per acre. The proposal is not consistent with the General Plan 
Land Use Map designation; however, a General Plan Amendment is not required 
because the site is under 10 acres in size. 
To the north and east of the subject site are also designated as Residential 2 to 5 
dwelling units per acre.  
To the south of the subject site is designated as Floodplain and Residential 2 to 5 
dwelling units per acre. 
To the west of the subject site is designated as Commercial.

SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING 
3. 
The subject site is vacant and is currently zoned R1-8 NBCOD (Single-Family 
Residence District, North Black Canyon Overlay District) and FH NCBOD (Flood 
Hazard and Erosion Management District, North Black Canyon Overlay District). 
The request for R-3 NBCOD (Multifamily Residence District, North Black Canyon 
Overlay District) will permit the proposed density for the multifamily residential 
townhomes and will remove the existing Flood Hazard and Erosion Management 
District zoning.  
To the north of the subject site is also vacant land, currently zoned R1-8 NBCOD, 
with proposed zoning of R-3 NBCOD (Multifamily Residence District, North Black 
Canyon Overlay District), per Rezoning Case No. Z-20-23-2.

PROPOSAL 
4. 
Site Plan 
The site plan, attached as an exhibit, proposes a 127-unit multifamily residential 
townhome development.  Each unit is proposed to have an attached garage, with 
a total of 350 parking spaces provided throughout the site. Vehicular access is 
provided through a cross-access agreement across the site to the north, which 
connects to Sonoran Desert Drive. A combined total of 49.3 percent of private 
open space, usable open space, common open space, and natural desert open 
space is proposed. The wash to the west of the site is proposed to be preserved 
as part of the natural desert open space. Refuse bins are proposed near the 
clubhouse.  
The proposed site plan meets the development standards and meets or exceeds 
the minimum requirements of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance. As a result, staff 
recommends general conformance to the site plan date stamped September 19, 
2023. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 1. 
To promote the wash as a natural amenity and to promote connectivity to the 
surrounding trail system, staff recommends that a 10-foot-wide multi-use trail be 
constructed within a 30-foot-wide multi-use trail easement along the east side of 
the wash, along the west side of the property. This is addressed in Stipulation 
No. 3. 
For enhanced pedestrian safety and visibility, staff recommends that fencing 
adjacent to the wash consist of a view fence atop a maximum two-foot-tall block 
wall. Additionally, staff recommends that where pedestrian walkways cross a 
vehicular path, the pathway be constructed of alternative materials or other 
pavement treatments that visually contrasts parking and drive aisle surfaces. 
These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 4 and 5.  
5. 
Elevations 
The building elevations, attached as an exhibit, propose two-story buildings with 
a variety of colors and materials, and breaking of massing. The proposed colors 
and materials are also compatible with the surrounding desert environment as 
enforced by the North Black Canyon Overlay District. For these reasons, staff 
recommends general conformance to the elevations date stamped July 26, 2023. 
This is addressed in Stipulation No. 2. 
PLANS, OVERLAYS, AND INITATIVES 
6. 
North Black Canyon Corridor Plan 
The subject site is within the North Black Canyon Corridor Plan. The Phoenix 
City Council adopted the Corridor Plan in 1999 to guide growth and development 
within the planned area. The proposal is consistent with the intent of the following 
goals from the plan: 
• Goal 2: Achieve a balance between employment and housing.

Staff Report: Z-47-23-2 
October 12, 2023 
Page 7 of 15 
 
The proposal will add to housing in the area that will provide a balance 
between employment and housing.  
• Goal 3: Concentrate growth within a defined corridor. 
The site is located within the Infrastructure Limit Line, which was created 
to concentrate growth within this defined corridor. 
• Goal 4: Preserve North Sonoran Desert amenities and use these features 
to define community form and identity. 
As depicted on the site plan, the developer intends to provide access to 
the wash area west of the site, an existing desert feature that provides 
character and identity to the Village. 
7. 
North Black Canyon Overlay District 
The subject site is within the North Black Canyon Overlay District (NBCOD). The 
City Council adopted the NBCOD in 2001 in order to implement the designs and 
concepts of the North Black Canyon Corridor Plan. The NBCOD ensures 
development is compatible with the desert environment by providing 
comprehensive design guidelines. The proposed elevations comply with NBCOD 
guidelines regarding developing buildings with a desert color palette, with specific 
regard to colors being muted and blend with, rather than contrast strongly, with 
the surrounding desert environment. Staff recommends general conformance to 
the elevations date stamped July 26, 2023. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 
2. 
8. 
Monarch Butterfly Pledge 
In April 2021, Mayor Kate Gallego signed the National Wildlife Federation's 
Mayor's Monarch Pledge. This pledge commits the city to take action to support 
the monarch butterfly population. In the United States, loss of milkweed habitat is 
a major factor in the decline of the monarchs. Arizona has at least 29 species of 
milkweed native to the state. Adult monarchs feed on the nectar of many flowers, 
but they breed only where milkweeds are found. To support the monarch butterfly 
population, Stipulation No. 11 addresses the planting of milkweed shrubs, or 
other native nectar plant species, on the subject site. 
9. 
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 proposal 
supports the Plan’s goal of preserving or creating 50,000 housing units by 2030 
by contributing to a variety housing types that will address the supply shortage at 
a more rapid pace while using vacant land in a more sustainable fashion.

10. 
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 recommends robust tree planting and shade 
standards, including that all bicycle parking spaces be shaded to a minimum of 
75 percent, that a minimum of 10 percent of the surface parking lot be 
landscaped with minimum two-inch caliper trees, and that landscape areas and 
retention areas be planted with minimum two-inch caliper large canopy drought-
tolerant shade trees. These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 8 through 10. 
11. 
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 pedestrians, staff recommends that where pedestrian walkways cross a 
vehicular path, the pathway be constructed of alternative materials or other 
pavement treatments that visually contrasts parking and drive aisle surfaces. 
This is addressed in Stipulation No. 5.  
12. 
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. As stipulated, the project will provide guest bicycle parking spaces 
at a rate of 0.05 spaces per unit, up to a maximum of 50 spaces, and installed 
per the requirements in the City’s Walkable Urban (WU) Code, located near the  
community center and/or clubhouse and open space areas. This is addressed in 
Stipulation No. 6.  
13. 
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 applicant’s submittal materials indicate that each 
dwelling unit will be provided a recycling bin to be disposed of at central recycling 
containers throughout the community within the trash enclosures.

14. 
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. Staff recommends a minimum of 10 percent 
of the required parking spaces include EV Capable infrastructure. Additionally, 
staff recommends a minimum of 10 percent of the required bicycle parking 
spaces include standard electrical receptacles for electric bicycle charging 
capabilities. This is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 7 and 12. 
15. 
Phoenix Climate Action Plan 
In October 2021, the Phoenix City Council approved the Climate Action Plan. 
The Climate Action Plan will serve as a long-term plan to achieve greenhouse 
gas emissions reductions and resiliency goals from local operations and 
community activities as well as prepare for the impacts of climate change. This 
plan contains policy and initiatives regarding stationary energy, transportation, 
waste management, air quality, local food systems, heat, and water. Goal W2 
(Water), Action W2.4, pertains to the implementation of the Greater Phoenix 
Metro Green Infrastructure (GI) and Low Impact Development Details for 
Alternative Stormwater Management to benefit the environment, promote water 
conservation, reduce urban heat, improve the public health, and create additional 
green spaces. This goal is addressed in Stipulation No. 13, which requires a 
minimum of two GI techniques for stormwater management to be implemented in 
this development. 
COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY

have been considered, following the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) 
Regulations (44 CFR Paragraph 60.3), including, but not limited to, provisions in 
the latest versions of the Floodplain Ordinance of the Phoenix City Code. A copy 
of the Grading and Drainage Plan needs to be submitted to the Floodplain 
Management section of Public Works Department for review and approval of 
Floodplain requirements. FEMA approved CLOMR-F or CLOMR is required prior 
to issuance of a Grading and Drainage permit. This is addressed in Stipulation 
No. 19. 
18. 
Street Transportation Department 
The Street Transportation Department requested the following: 
• That Improvements to Sonoran Desert Drive be constructed per the 
Sonoran Foothills Master Street Plan. 
• That clearly defined accessible pedestrian pathway(s) be provided

OTHER 
19. 
The North Gateway Solid Waste and Recycling Transfer Facility located 
approximately a half mile southwest of the subject site is an industrial use that 
has been in operation since 2005 and could cause noise, odors, or other impacts 
to future residents of this project. Additionally, approximately one quarter mile 
south of the subject site is a granite mining operation which could cause further 
impacts to the surrounding area. Staff recommends Stipulation Nos. 20 and 21 to 
ensure future buyers and/or renters are notified about the existence and 
operational characteristics of the above uses.
