STAFF PRESENTATION 
Klimek, staff, introduced the request for a minor amendment to the Phoenix 
General Plan for the Phoenix Children’s Hospital campus. Much of the campus is 
designated “Public/Quasi-Public” and this text amendment would change the 
designation on an additional 21.60 acres from “Residential 10-15 dwelling units 
per acre” and “Commercial” to “Public/Quasi-Public.” The request will advance 
the General Plan Core Values of “Strengthening the Local Economy” through job 
creation and by “Connecting People and Places” through an appropriate level of 
intensity that respects local conditions. Staff is recommending approval with no 
stipulations.
