Background/Issues/Analysis 
SUBJECT SITE 
1. 
This request is to rezone 13.51 acres located on the southeast corner of 107th 
Avenue and Buckeye Road from S-1 (Ranch or Farm Residence), RE-43 (One-
Family Residence), and C-3 (General Commercial) to R-3A (Multifamily 
Residence District) to allow a multifamily residential development. The subject 
site is currently used as a single-family residence with agricultural uses.  
 
 
SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING 
2. 
The requested R-3A (Multifamily 
Residence District) will support a 
new housing type that is 
compatible with the surrounding 
area since it is located along an 
arterial street and adjacent to an 
educational institution. The area to 
the east is zoned S-1 (Ranch or 
Farm Residence) and C-3 
(General Commercial) and 
developed with a school. The area 
to the south is zoned R1-8 (Single-
Family Residence District) and 
developed with a single-family 
subdivision. 
The City of Tolleson is located to 
the north of the subject site, across 
 
Existing Zoning Aerial Map

Buckeye Road with numerous 
warehouses and distribution 
centers zoned I-2 (General 
Industrial). The City of Avondale is 
located to the east side of the 
subject site, across 107th Avenue. 
There is a vacant lot at the 
immediate corner and a single-
family residential development 
zoned PAD (Planned Area 
Development) south and west of 
the vacant lot.  
 
 
GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION 
3. 
The General Plan Land Use Map designation for this subject site is Residential 
3.5 to 5 dwelling units per acre and Commerce/Business Park. A concurrent 
minor General Plan Land Use Map amendment case, GPA-EST-2-22-7, is 
proposed to change the land use map designation to Residential 15+ dwelling 
units per acre. The requested R-3A zoning is consistent with the proposed 
General Plan Land Use Map designation of Residential 15+ dwelling units per 
acre. Properties surrounding the site are designated as Residential 3.5 to 5 
dwelling units per acre to the south, and Commerce/Business Park to the east. 
To the west, within the City of Avondale, the designation is Medium Density 
Residential. To the north, in the City of Tolleson, the designation is El Districto 
(Business District).

PROPOSAL 
4. 
Site Plan  
The proposal is for 288 multifamily residences. The conceptual site plan, 
attached as an exhibit, depicts various residential buildings and amenity areas 
distributed throughout the site. The proposed multifamily residential development 
depicts access to the subject site off Buckeye Road on the northeast portion of 
the site and 107th Avenue on the southwest portion of the site.  
 
Conceptual Site Plan  
Source: RK Design & Professional Services, LLC 
 
Staff recommends Stipulation No. 1 which would limit the maximum number of 
dwelling units to 288 and Stipulation No. 3 which would require a minimum 
building setback of 100 feet for structures exceeding 2 stories and 30 feet. This 
will ensure that the proposed multifamily residential development is compatible 
with the surrounding land uses including the Academy of Math & Science to the 
east and the single-family residential development to the south.  
 
  
5. 
Elevations 
The conceptual building elevations depict architectural features that include 
variations in textures and building heights. In addition, staff is requiring that 25 
percent of elevations oriented to a public street shall contain brick, masonry, 
stone or another exterior accent material and all units adjacent to 107th Avenue 
and Buckeye Road shall have individual porches or patios oriented to the 
nearest public street. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 4.  
To ensure the height is compatible in the area, staff is recommending Stipulation 
No. 2 for a maximum building height of 3 stories and 40 feet.

6. 
Open Space 
A centralized open space is depicted in the conceptual site plan along with other 
open space areas. Staff recommends Stipulation Nos. 12, 13, and 14 to ensure 
a wide range of open space within the proposed multifamily development and a 
centralized open space with numerous amenities. An increase in the minimum 
required open space percentage and number of amenities is appropriate given 
the proposed number of dwelling units on the site.  
 
STUDIES AND POLICIES 
 
 
7. 
Estrella Village Plan 
 
The Estrella Village Plan adopted in 1999, outlines a vision for developing the 
Estrella Village through five main goals that include: 
1. Orderly growth; 
2. Identifiable village core; 
3. Strong residential neighborhoods; 
4. Variety of homes and jobs; and 
5. Consistent streetscapes and trail linkages.

Staff Report: Z-42-22-7

Estrella Land Use Map

Goal 3 of the Estrella Village Plan, “Protection of residential neighborhoods”, 
Objective A, “New Residential Development”, recommends that new residential 
developments and retail centers be supported by street circulation systems and 
surrounding character. Bounded by a major arterial street, the proposed R-3A 
zoning district allows multifamily residential uses that are supported by the 
existing street which will be improved to meet MCDOT standards.  
 
Goal 4, “Housing and Employment”, Objective B, “Variety of housing densities 
and types”, recommends a diversity of housing products in the Estrella Village. 
The proposed R-3A zoning allows for a multifamily residential use on the site. 
This zoning district will introduce a new land use in the immediate area, allowing 
for new housing opportunities within the surrounding land area.  
 
Goal 5, “Urban Design”, recommends for streetscape and trail systems to be 
uniform and consistent to provide identity and linkage between neighborhoods 
and with activity centers. Several stipulations as recommended by staff and 
would promote enhanced urban design along the streetscapes. Stipulation Nos. 
5, 7, 9, 18, and 19 recommend enhanced landscaping along 107th Avenue and 
Buckeye Road to promote a positive character of the village. Lastly, Stipulation 
No. 11 requires perimeter fencing or walls within 50 feet of a public street to be 
open at a 50 percent minimum. This will increase the visibility from the subject 
site to promote safety.

8. 
Estrella Village Arterial Street Landscaping Program 
The Estrella Village Arterial Street Landscaping Program adopted in 1999, 
provides a landscape palette for arterial streets within the Estrella Village to help 
establish the community’s character. In addition to providing planning guidelines, 
the plan also indicates the locations to establish entry gateways that welcome 
individuals entering the village with an entry sign and an enhanced landscape 
area of 75 feet by 75 feet in size.  
 
The subject site is adjacent to Buckeye Road, an arterial street, and thus staff 
recommends Stipulation No. 7 to require adherence with the Estrella Village 
Arterial Street Landscaping Program requirements along the street frontage to 
promote the community’s character. Furthermore, the southeast corner of 107th 
Avenue and Buckeye Road is a designated Village gateway. Thus, staff 
recommends Stipulation No. 9 to require a landscaped gateway entry feature at 
this intersection. 
 
 
9. 
Monarch Butterfly 
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. 8 addresses the planting of milkweed shrubs, 
or other native nectar plant species, on the subject site. 
 
 
10. Tree and Shade Master Plan 
The Tree and Shade Master Plan encourages treating the urban forest as 
infrastructure to ensure the trees are an integral part of the City’s planning and 
development process. Sidewalks on the street frontages should be detached 
from the curbs to allow trees to be planted on both sides of the sidewalk to 
provide thermal comfort for pedestrians and to reduce the urban heat island 
effect. Staff is recommending stipulations designed to provide trees and enhance 
shade within the development.  
 
Staff is recommending the following stipulations for parking lot and sidewalk 
shading:  
 
• All landscape setbacks shall contain 25 percent two-inch caliper trees, 
and 75 percent three-inch caliper trees (Stipulation No. 5)  
 
• Evergreen trees shall be planted within the landscape setback along the 
south perimeter of the site (Stipulation No. 6);

Staff Report: Z-42-22-7 
August 15, 2022 
Page 10 of 16 
 
• Uncovered surface parking lot areas shall be landscaped with minimum 
two-inch caliper drought-tolerant shade trees to achieve a minimum of 25 
percent shade (Stipulation No. 16); 
 
• Detached sidewalks along all streets with minimum two-inch caliper single 
trunk shade trees (Stipulation Nos. 18 and 19).   
 
 
11. Complete Streets Guidelines 
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 provide a safe pedestrian 
environment staff is recommending enhanced pavement treatment for the on-site 
pedestrian walkways that cross vehicular drive aisles and to provide pedestrian 
walkways to the street intersection. This is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 10 and 
15. This development will help pedestrianize the immediate street frontage by 
providing a detached sidewalk along 107th Avenue and Buckeye Road. 
Furthermore, bicycle parking will be required on the site encourage alternative 
transportation. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 17. In addition, any street 
improvements be done to City of Phoenix and ADA standards. These are 
addressed in Stipulations No. 23.  
 
 
12. 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.  
 
 
13. 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 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 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.

COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY 
 
14. As of the writing of this report, staff did not receive any letters in opposition from 
the public on this rezoning case.   
 
 
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 
 
15. The Fire Department indicated there are no problems anticipated with the case 
and that the site and/or buildings shall comply with the International Fire Code 
with Phoenix Amendments. Further, the Department commented that they do not 
know the water supply at this site and noted that fire flow requirements may 
present a challenge for this site.  
 
 
16. The Street Transportation Department has indicated that the developer will be 
required to underground existing electrical utilities within the public right-of-way 
and underground existing irrigation facilities along Buckeye Road in addition to 
require all street improvements be made to City, MCDOT, and ADA standards. 
Furthermore, the Street Transportation Department is requiring that the 
developer submit a Traffic Impact Analysis for the proposed development. These 
requirements are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 20 through 23.  
 
 
17. The Public Transit Department has indicated that the developer shall dedicate 
right-of-way and construct a bus bay with an attached bus pad along Buckeye 
Road. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 24.  
 
 
18.  The City of Phoenix Aviation Department has indicated that due to the proximity 
of the Goodyear Airport and potential for noise from airport related activity, 
an additional stipulation has been added that would require documents to 
disclose the existence and operational characteristics of the Phoenix Goodyear 
Airport to future owners or tenants of the property. This is addressed in 
Stipulation No. 25.  
 
 
OTHER  
 
 
19. The site is located in a larger area identified as being archaeologically 
sensitive. If further review by the City of Phoenix Archaeology Office 
determines the site and immediate area to be archaeologically sensitive, and if 
no previous archaeological projects have been conducted within this project 
area, it is recommended that archaeological Phase I data testing of this area be 
conducted. Phase II archaeological data recovery excavations may be 
necessary based upon the results of the testing. A qualified archaeologist must 
make this determination in consultation with the City of Phoenix Archaeologist. 
In the event archaeological materials are encountered during construction, all 
ground disturbing activities must cease within a 33-foot radius of the discovery 
and the City of Phoenix Archaeology Office must be notified immediately and

Staff Report: Z-42-22-7 
August 15, 2022 
Page 12 of 16 
 
allowed time to properly assess the materials. These are addressed in 
Stipulation Nos. 26 through 28.  
 
 
20. 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. 29. 
 
 
21.  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.
