4. 
Site Plan 
The proposal is for 
a convenience 
store/gas station 
and retail building 
with a drive 
through. The 
conceptual site 
plan, attached as 
an exhibit, depicts 
the site layout 
including the 
location of each 
building, the drive 
through, fuel 
canopy, trash 
enclosure, parking 
areas, detached 
sidewalks along 
Southern Avenue, 
and a multi-use 
trail along 27th 
Avenue. The site will have two points of ingress/egress. One on Southern Avenue 
and the other on 27th Avenue.

Staff Report: Z-35-23-8

Staff is recommending Stipulation No. 2 to require pavement treatments that 
visually contrast parking and drive aisles where pedestrian walkways cross a 
vehicular path. To promote enhanced walking, cycling, and transit-use staff is 
recommending Stipulation No. 8 to require a multi-use trail along the west portion 
of the development, Stipulation Nos. 3 through 5 require shaded bicycle parking, 
and Stipulation No. 7 requires the vegetation in the existing detached sidewalk 
along Southern Avenue to be replenished. Additionally, Stipulation No. 9 requires 
that all public and private pedestrian pathways will be shaded to a minimum of 75 
percent. Stipulation No. 6 requires a gateway entry feature according to the Rio 
Montaña Area Plan.  
 
 
5. 
Conceptual Building Elevations  
The conceptual building elevations, attached as an exhibit, depict four-sided 
architecture on each building with brick veneer, materials consistent with structures 
in the area, and glazing along the building frontages. Addionally, the fuel pumps 
are proposed to be consistent with the building elevations with brick veneer 
incorporated into the design. Staff is recommending Stipulation No. 1 to require the 
site be developed in general conformance to the conceptual elevations date 
stamped May 31, 2023, so the design of the development is consistent with the 
surrounding area.

STUDIES AND POLICIES 
6. 
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 frontage should be detached from 
the curb 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. The 
development proposal, as stipulated, will create a comfortable streetscape 
environment with shaded and detached sidewalks along Southern Avenue, shaded 
bicycle parking, shaded walkways, and shaded parking lots. These are addressed 
in Stipulation Nos. 5, 7, 9, and 10.  
 
 
7. 
Complete Streets Guidelines:  
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. The proposed development, as 
stipulated, will support walking, bicycling, and transit-use by including bicycle 
parking on the site, providing a multi-use trail along 27th Avenue, and by 
constructing a shaded and detached sidewalk along Southern Avenue. These are 
addressed in Stipulation Nos. 2 through 5, 7, and 8.   
 
 
8. 
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

Staff Report: Z-35-23-8 
August 4, 2023 
Page 8 of 13 
 
 
 
 
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. This is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 4 and 11 which 
require a minimum of two electric bicycle charging stations and a minimum 10 
percent of the required parking spaces to be EV Ready.  
 
 
9. 
Zero Waste Phoenix 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 provision of recycling containers was 
not addressed in the applicant’s submittals. 
 
 
 
10. 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 development will provide shaded bicycle parking, two electrical 
bike charging receptacles, and a Multi-Use Trail along 27th Avenue. This is 
addressed in Stipulation Nos. 3 through 5, and 8. 
 
 
11. Rio Montaña Area Plan: 
The Rio Montaña Area Plan encourages 
preservation of the rural character of the 
area and incorporates transition zones to 
protect desert and open space areas. 
The plan also encourages pedestrian 
and equestrian activities through a 
network of trails and aspires to develop a 
sense of community while encouraging 
investment in the community. 
 
The Rio Montaña Area Plan intended to 
accomplish this vision through seven goals that include: promoting balanced, high 
quality development; protecting and improving neighborhoods through

Staff Report: Z-35-23-8 
August 4, 2023 
Page 9 of 13 
 
 
 
 
maintenance, rehabilitation and infill projects; keeping a distinctive character that 
reflects the diversity in its equestrian heritage, culture, history and architecture; 
protecting the rural character, the Sonoran Desert and the riparian potential of the 
Rio Salado Habitat Restoration Project; promoting future business development 
and economic growth; developing the tourism industry through a wide range of 
opportunities; and providing a variety of transportation options. 
 
This infill site is located in the western portion of the Rio Montaña Area Plan 
boundaries in an area with a mix of single-family residential neighborhoods, 
commercial, and educational uses. Per Stipulation No. 7, the project site will 
enhance the connectivity and pedestrian comfort in the area by providing street 
improvements, including sidewalks and landscaping, along Southern Avenue. 
Similarly, this development will provide a multi-use trail along 27th Avenue. This is 
addressed in Stipulation No. 8. 
 
In terms of design, this project replicates the size and character of the surrounding 
built environment. Per Stipulation No.1, the building elevations are required to 
include brick and stucco to match the colors and materials found in the surrounding 
area. Additionally, the Rio Montaña Area Plan identifies the subject site as a 
location where a Gateway Feature that announces the arrival to the area should be 
placed. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 6.  
 
Other design elements of the Rio Montaña Area Plan will be addressed through the 
design guidelines of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance in Chapter 5, Section 507 Tab. 
A (Guidelines for Design Review). 
 
 
COMMUNITY CORRESONDENCE 
12. As of the writing of this report two letters of opposition have been received for the 
request. Concerns raised were regarding the proposal’s contribution to urban blight 
in the area, noise pollution, homelessness, crime, and lowering property values.  
 
 
 
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 
13. The Street Transportation Department recommended limiting the vehicular access 
points on Southern Avenue and 27th Avenue to be right-in and right-out only. This 
is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 12 and 13. The Street Transportation Department 
also recommended the developer construct all improvements in the right-of-way 
with all required elements and to ADA standards. This is addressed in Stipulation 
No. 14. 
 
 
14. The Public Transit Department requested that the bus bay on northbound 27th 
Avenue be retained. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 15.

OTHER 
15. 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 allowed time to properly assess the 
materials. These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 16 through 18. 
 
16. 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. 19. 
 
 
 
17. Development and use of the site are subject to all applicable codes and 
ordinances. Zoning approval does not negate other ordinance requirements. Other 
formal actions such as, but not limited to, zoning adjustments and abandonments 
may be required. 
 
Findings 
 
1. 
The proposal is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map designation of 
Commercial, the Rio Montaña Area Plan, and with the character of the 
surrounding area. 
 
 
2. 
The proposal, as stipulated, will create a strong pedestrian environment along 
Southern Avenue with shaded and detached sidewalks and a multi-use trail 
alignment along 27th Avenue. These pathways will convey individuals safely and 
comfortably to the nearby educational uses, commercial uses, and residential 
neighborhoods.  
 
 
3. 
The proposed C-1 zoning district is compatible with the C-2 zoning district to the 
west across 27th Avenue and the C-1 zoning district to the south across Southern 
Avenue.

Israel, I have aƩached the Pre-ApplicaƟon report, the development narraƟve submiƩed by the developer as well
as an early site plan (these can change during the rezoning process).
As of today, I don’t see that any meeƟngs on the rezoning request have been scheduled. The applicant will have to
post a sign on the parcel when meeƟngs are scheduled. I’ve copied the village planner on this e-mail. He’ll keep
this e-mail in the record.
Most of the lot is zoned C-1, which allows gas staƟons. C-1 is a very common zoning on corner lots like this one.
This development proposes a gas staƟon and a drive-through restaurant (see aƩached site plan). You can see from
the aerial that the northeast and southeast corners have overlapping residenƟal zoning from the neighboring
areas. The rezoning would extend the C-1 into those areas as the hodgepodge of exisƟng zoning on the lot makes
development difficult.

Hi David,
 
I hope all is well. I just wanted to forward this email to you that we received from a consƟtuent who doesn’t like
the rezoning efforts on 27th  Avenue and Southern.
 
Do you know will this zoning proposal go before the Council or where it is in the process? Also, do you know what
gas staƟon is interested in being placed in this area?
 
Sincerely,
 
Israel Kiyogera
 
Office of Councilwoman Kesha Hodge Washington

Subject: Rezoning Efforts 27th Avenue & Southern
 
I have been in contact through the years with various council members regarding the urban blight of the South
Mountain/Laveen area with very liƩle acƟon to address the issues. 
 
This rezoning effort to put a gas staƟon at the corner of 27th Avenue and Southern is just another effort to put
business above resident's needs. The last thing our neighborhood needs is a gas staƟon on that corner! With two
daycares, two schools, and mulƟple neighborhoods aƩracƟng families, why on earth would it even be considered
to put a gas staƟon on that corner? Please do not allow this to occur!
 
There is so much urban blight on 27th Avenue with a home that should have been condemned and torn down 15
years ago. The skeleton sƟll stands and it has now become a junkyard. When I built my house in 2003, I was
promised no more junk yards and this home was a working small farm at that Ɵme. Yet junkyards keep popping up
along 27th Avenue, bordering the Grayson Square subdivision. I'm told council members cannot do anything
about this condemned house because it's a Maricopa County island, so we just have to live with the unsightly
eyesore? 
 
The hazardous waste that is seeping into our groundwater along Broadway from the junkyards is beyond
comprehension. Democrats are supposed to be about the environment and I see absolutely no movement on
cleaning up those areas, making them compliant with hazardous waste regulaƟons or beƩer yet, removing them
altogether. There are so many code violaƟons but they just keep operaƟng however they choose with no
oversight. Hand printed signage, parking on sidewalks, blocking the street, placing junk cars by the road, etc.
 
The weeds and trash along Roeser Road between 27th Avenue and 35th Avenue are completely out of control.
The trash is horrible. I sƟll don't understand why Roeser does not have curbing on one part of the road. It is a very
dangerous road.
 
Now, on a regular basis semi trucks are parking along 27th Avenue and no one does anything about it even with
mulƟple no parking signs.
 
Will all that we have to tolerate in our neighborhood, please do not add more unsightly businesses to add to our
urban blight. We've invested in gentrifying South Mountain, please do not impact that investment with a gas
staƟon.
 
Best regards,
CharloƩe Noonan

Case No. Z-35-23-8 Rezoning 27th Ave & Southern Residence Comments
Austin Mutschler <austinmutschler@gmail.com>

To:Samuel S Rogers <samuel.rogers@phoenix.gov>
Hello Sam Rogers,
I received a letter in the mail disclosing that Cowley Companies is attempting to re-zone the northeast
corner of 27th Ave & Southern to build a gas station.
I would like it to be known that as a resident who lives on the Southeast corner of 27th Ave &
Southern I am completely against the idea of a gas station being put in at this location. Many new gas
stations have opened recently in the area including the Circle K on the northwest corner of 19th Ave &
Southern. When these gas stations open they bring with them homeless and crime. This will make the
area unsafe and undoubtedly£lower property values in the area.
Besides the safety£issues involved, the noise pollution£would be much greater than it currently is. As
someone who works from home, excess noise during the day would disrupt productivity and noise at
night would disrupt sleep.
In conclusion, no re-zoning should be permitted unless it is for less disruptive uses.
Thank you,
Austin Mutschler
