CELEBRATE OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS; 
OPPORTUNITY SITES; DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Protect and enhance the character of 
each neighborhood and its various housing lifestyles through new development 
that is compatible in scale, design, and appearance. 
 
The proposal provides both commercial and multifamily developments in an area that will 
buffer proposed lower density uses to the east from the transportation corridor along the 
Loop 202 Freeway and the interchange at Dobbins Road. Additionally, the site is 
consistent with the scale, character, and design that has been approved in the 
surrounding area. 
 
 
CONNECT PEOPLE AND PLACES CORE VALUE; CORES, CENTERS & 
CORRIDORS; LAND USE PRINCIPLE: Locate land uses with the greatest height 
and most intense uses within village cores, centers and corridors based on village 
character, land use needs, and transportation system capacity. 
 
The subject site is in close proximity to the Loop 202 Freeway and Village Core and the 
proposed commercial corner is in close proximity to the interchange at Dobbins Road. 
The proximity to the freeway and interchange ensures that increased traffic and activity is 
concentrated along the transportation corridor.  
 
 
BUILD THE SUSTAINABLE DESERT CITY CORE VALUE; TREES AND SHADE; 
DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Integrate trees and shade into the design of new development 
and redevelopment projects throughout Phoenix. 
 
The proposal, as stipulated, will provide detached sidewalks and shade trees along 
Dobbins Road, 59th Avenue, and 57th Avenue. The shade trees will help to encourage 
walking by providing a thermally comfortable environment for pedestrians and alternative 
transportation users along the sidewalks.

Background/Issues/Analysis 
 
SUBJECT SITE 
1. 
This request is to rezone 41.60 acres at the southwest corner of 59th Avenue and 
Dobbins Road from S-1 (Approved C-2 HGT/WVR PCD) (Ranch or Farm 
Residence District, Approved Intermediate Commercial, Height Waiver, Planned 
Community District) to C-2 HGT/WVR DNS/WVR (Intermediate Commercial, 
Height Waiver, Density Waiver) to allow a mixed-use development that includes 
both residential and commercial uses. 
 
 
2. 
Per the General Plan Land Use Map, the majority of the subject site is designated 
as Mixed-Use with a smaller area designated as Preserves/Commercial at the 
southeast corner. The proposal is consistent with the designation as the Mixed-
Use portion accommodates both commercial and residential uses.  Additionally, 
the Preserves/Commercial portion is consistent as the development proposes 
residential uses consistent with commercial zoning. 
 
The proposal is compatible with the General Plan Land Use Map designations to 
the east and west of the site. The surrounding designations are as follows: 
 
North 
Residential 2 to 3.5 dwelling units per acre, Residential 1 to 2 dwelling units per 
acre

The subject site is 
agricultural land currently 
zoned S-1, Approved C-2 
HGT/WVR PCD (Ranch or 
Farm Residence District, 
Approved Intermediate 
Commercial, Height Waiver, 
Planned Community District). 
The approved zoning 
entitlements on the subject 
site were established through 
the Laveen Town Center 
PCD, Rezoning Case No. Z-
31-04-7.  The PCD 
encompassed approximately 
318 acres bounded by 
Dobbins Road on the north, 
Elliot Road on the south, 59th Avenue on the west, and 55th Avenue on the east. 
Similar to other requests in the area, this request would remove the subject site

North of the subject site is a single-family residential subdivision zoned R1-8 
(Single-Family Residence District) and vacant land zoned C-1 (Neighborhood 
Commercial). 
 
East of the subject site is vacant and agricultural land zoned R1-10 (Single-
Family Residence District). This area is proposed to be a single-family residential 
development. 
 
South of the subject site is vacant land still within the Laveen Town Center PCD 
and zoned S-1, Approved R1-6 PCD, R-3A PCD, C-2 HGT/WVR PCD (Ranch or 
Farm Residence District, Approved Single-Family Residence District, Planned 
Community District, Multifamily Residence District, Planned Community District,

ADOPTED AREA PLANS 
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 and provide a land 
use and design planning framework 
to help shape the growth that 
Laveen was starting to experience, 
while accounting for newly annexed 
farmland as well as the future 
development of the South Mountain 
Freeway Loop, which has since 
been completed. 
This plan designates the project 
site as Commercial and Residential 
2 to 5 dwelling units per acre. 
Although not consistent with this 
designation, the development will 
incorporate several of the Study’s 
recommendations, as stipulated by 
staff.  
 
The Laveen Southwest Growth 
Study provides a framework for an 
overall multi-use trail system which 
connects major community assets such as the Laveen Conveyance Channel, 
public parks and open space areas, and the South Mountain Preserve. This 
proposed development will provide a multi-use trail along 59th Avenue, which will 
connect to the existing trail to the south of the site and promote overall trail 
connectivity in Laveen. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 4. 
 
The Laveen Southwest Growth Study also outlines specific design policies and 
standards for various types of developments that will enhance Laveen’s built 
environment while remaining respectful of its agricultural heritage. The study 
encourages all new developments to use durable, high-quality building materials

and to provide enhanced building design that will contribute to the character of 
the area. The proposed elevations submitted exhibit high quality architectural 
design and are consistent with the architectural style found in the Laveen area.  
General conformance to these elevations is addressed in Stipulation No. 1. 
 
 
PROPOSAL 
5. 
The conceptual site plan 
proposes both commercial 
and residential uses.  Staff is 
recommending general 
conformance to the site 
plan, per Stipulation No. 1, 
to ensure the site is 
developed as depicted on 
the site plan. 
 
The site will have ingress 
and egress to both 59th and 
57th Avenues, and Dobbins 
Road. Per Stipulation No. 2, 
primary entryway to Dobbins 
Road will have enhanced 
landscaping. 
  
Lot 1 includes the 
commercial town center and 
retail plaza encircled by a 
circulation system to provide 
both vehicular and 
pedestrian access. The proposed cluster of buildings will be tied together with a 
pedestrian plaza and ample open space. Stipulation Nos. 18 through 21 are 
directly related to Lot 1 and stipulate a maximum building height of 30 feet, 
minimum 25% open space, increased parking lot shading, and a provision for 
bicycle parking spaces. 
 
Lot 2 includes a 207-unit two- and three-story apartment community across seven 
buildings. The apartment’s focal point will be a community center located on the 
western side of the lot to provide pedestrian integration between the apartments 
and the adjacent town center and retail plaza. Stipulation Nos. 22 through 25 are 
directly related to Lot 2 and stipulate R-3A standards, a maximum of 207 units, a 
minimum 9% open space, and a provision for bicycle parking spaces. 
 
Lot 3 includes a 197-unit, one-story multifamily community with individual 
courtyard clusters connected to vehicular and pedestrian circulation systems.

Each cluster contains two four-unit buildings with each unit having a one-car 
garage and one car tandem driveway parking. Each cluster also has open space 
providing pedestrian access to a network of pedestrian paseos. The area will 
have a community center located on the north side of the lot, allowing for 
pedestrian integration between the development and the town center and retail 
plaza. Stipulation Nos. 26 through 29 are directly related to Lot 3 and stipulate R-
3 standards, a maximum of 197 units, a minimum 12% open space, and a 
provision for bicycle parking spaces. 
 
 
6. 
The proposed architectural style is regionally appropriate with a contemporary 
influence that will complement the rural agrarian character of the Laveen Village.  
The proposed elevations for both the commercial and residential portions of the 
site provide a unified character and theme throughout, utilizing varied materials 
(such as painted metal panels, siding, metal roofing, and metal louvers) and 
colors, articulated rooflines, recesses, pop outs, and varied window sizes.  Staff 
has stipulated general conformance to the submitted building elevations to ensure 
quality design is carried through the development.  This is addressed in 
Stipulation No. 1.

PLANS, OVERLAYS, 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 residential units to be developed at 
the intersection of two arterial streets. 
 
 
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 robust tree planting 
standards, with large caliper trees in the landscape strip between the sidewalk 
and back of curb along 57th Avenue, 59th Avenue, and Dobbins Road.  This is 
addressed in Stipulation Nos. 5, 6, and 7. 
 
 
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. In addition to detached sidewalks and 
a multi-use trail, the project will also incorporate bicycle parking spaces 
throughout the development, which will be installed per the requirements of the 
Walkable Urban (WU) Code.  These elements are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 
4, 5, 6, 7, 21, 25, and 29. 
 
 
10. 
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 provision of recycling containers was not 
addressed in the applicant’s submittals.

COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY 
11. 
At the time this staff report was written, staff had not received any community 
correspondence regarding the proposal. 
 
 
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 
12. 
Public Transit Department 
The Public Transit Department required that two bus stop pads be constructed 
one along eastbound Dobbins Road and another along northbound 59th Avenue.  
Both should be built according to City of Phoenix Standard Details P1258 and 
P1260. These requirements are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 14 and 15. 
 
 
13. 
Street Transportation Department 
The Street Transportation Department has provided the following comments: 
 
• The classification for Dobbins Road is a C-Section. The streetscape area 
must follow the arterial Streetscape standards as required by the Street 
Classification Map. This requires a minimum five-foot-wide sidewalk and 
minimum 11-foot-wide landscape area located behind the back of curb and 
sidewalk. This is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 5 and 8. 
 
• The development is responsible for constructing the west side of 57th 
Avenue connecting appropriately with the 56th Glen alignment. This is 
addressed in Stipulation No. 9.  
 
o Street Transportation Department staff indicated that 57th Avenue 
will be a local street and therefore does not have Street 
Classification Map support. Long Range staff determined that the 
site should provide a minimum five-foot-wide detached sidewalk and 
minimum five-foot-wide landscape area located behind the back of 
curb and sidewalk to provide continued connectivity and meet 
Complete Streets Guiding Principles. 
 
• The classification for 59th Avenue is a C-M Section. The streetscape area 
must follow the arterial Streetscape standards as required by the Street 
Classification Map. This requires a minimum five-foot-wide sidewalk and 
minimum 11-foot-wide landscape area located behind the back of curb and 
sidewalk. This is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 7 and 10. 
 
• The developer is required to submit a Traffic Impact Study to the City. This 
is addressed in Stipulation No. 11. 
 
• The developer shall provide appropriate dedication and construction of 
adjacent right-of-way. This is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 8 through 10, 
12, and 13.

Staff Report: Z-45-22-8

Findings 
 
1. 
The development is consistent with the Phoenix General Plan Land Use Map 
designations of Mixed-Use and Preserves/Commercial. 
 
 
2. 
The proposed development is appropriate at this location given its proximity to the 
Loop 202 Freeway and will create a buffer between lower density residential 
uses to the east and the transportation corridor along the Loop 202 Freeway. 
 
 
 
 
14. 
Water Services Department 
The Water Services Department has determined that water and sewer mains that 
can potentially serve the development. 
 
 
OTHER 
15. 
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. 3 addresses the planting of milkweed shrubs, or other 
native nectar plant species, on the subject site. 
 
 
16. 
The site has not been identified as being archaeologically sensitive. However, in 
the event archaeological materials are encountered during construction, all 
ground disturbing activities must cease within 33-feet 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 No 16. 
 
 
17. 
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 preliminary site plan 
approval. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 17. 
 
 
18. 
Development and use of the site is subject to all applicable codes and 
ordinances.  Zoning approval does not negate other ordinance requirements such 
as obtaining a use permit to conduct the proposed outdoor use in this zoning 
district.  Other formal actions such as, but not limited to, zoning adjustments and 
abandonments, may be required.
