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.
