Bikeway, and the Grand Canalscape Trail. The proposal will activate the Grand Canal 
in a manner consistent with the vision contained in the Uptown Transit Oriented 
Development Policy Plan.  
CELEBRATE OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS CORE 
VALUE; HEALTHY NEIGHBORHOODS; DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Establish design 
standards and guidelines for parking lots and structures, setback and build-to 
lines, blank wall space, shade, and other elements affecting pedestrians, to 
encourage pedestrian activity and identify options for providing pedestrian-
oriented design in different types of development. 
The proposal includes design and development standards to encourage walking, 
bicycling, and transit use. These standards include ground floor commercial, a shaded 
streetscape, units fronting onto the public sidewalk, parking situated away from the 
public street, and on-site amenities.  
 CONNECT PEOPLE AND PLACES CORE VALUE; BICYCLES; DESIGN 
PRINCIPLE: Development should include convenient bicycle parking. 
The proposal includes bicycle facilities to encourage bicycling and transit use to 
become a way of life by leveraging its proximity to the nearby light rail station, the 
Phoenix Sonoran Bikeway on 3rd Avenue, and the Grand Canalscape Trail. Features 
include secure bicycle parking for residents, convenient racks for guests, and a 
bicycle repair station for residents. 
BUILD THE SUSTAINABLE DESERT CITY CORE VALUE; DESIGN PRINCIPLE:  
Integrate trees and shade into the design of new development and 
redevelopment projects throughout Phoenix. 
The proposal includes robust tree plantings that will provide shade along Central 
Avenue, along Coolidge Street, and along the Grand Canal. These improvements will 
create pedestrian environments with shade and a separation from vehicular traffic that 
will comfortably convey pedestrians to the nearby light rail, along the Grand Canal 
Trail, and to the Phoenix Sonoran Bikeway on 3rd Avenue.

Background/Issues/Analysis 
 
SUBJECT SITE 
1. 
This request is to rezone 1.71 acres located at the southwest corner of Central 
Avenue and Coolidge Street from C-2 TOD-1 (Intermediate Commercial, Interim 
Transit-Oriented Zoning Overlay District One) to PUD (Planned Unit 
Development District) to allow mixed use multifamily residential. 
 
 
SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING 
2. 
The subject site is currently vacant and was previously occupied by the Hinkley’s 
Lighting Store prior to its demolition in 2023. The Zoning Sketch Map, included as 
an exhibit, depicts zoning entitlements for the subject site and the surrounding 
area.  
 
To the north, west, and south of the subject site are multifamily residential 
developments. The multifamily residential development to the north is zoned 
PUD TOD-1 (Planned Unit Development, Interim Transit-Oriented Zoning 
Overlay District One) and is constructed to a height of four stories. The

Staff Report: Z-9-22-4 
June 15, 2023 
Page 4 of 17 
 
 
 
 
multifamily residential development to the west is zoned C-2 TOD-1 (Intermediate 
Commercial, Interim Transit-Oriented Zoning Overlay District One) and R-5 
(Multifamily Residential), is constructed to a height of three stories, and the 
zoning allows a maximum height of four stories and 48 feet. The multifamily 
residential development to the south across the Grand Canal is zoned R-4 
(Multifamily Residence District) and is constructed to a height of two stories. To 
the east of the subject site across Central Avenue is Brophy College Preparatory 
School which is zoned R1-6 (Single-Family Residence District). 
 
 
GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP 
3.  
The General Plan Land 
Use Map depicts a 
designation of 
Commercial. The 
commercial land use 
category 
accommodates office, 
retail, and multifamily 
residential development 
at varying scales and 
uses. The proposed mix 
of commercial and 
residential uses is 
consistent with this designation. To the west of the subject site is a Residential 
15+ dwelling unit per acre designation. To the north and south of the subject site 
are commercial designations. To the east of the subject site is designated as 
Public/Quasi-Public.  
 
 
 
4. 
Transit Oriented Development Strategic Policy Framework: 
The Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Strategic Policy Framework is part of 
the City’s General Plan. The framework identifies planning typologies to describe 
urban environments. 
 
The subject site is located within 0.15 miles from the light rail station located at 
Campbell Avenue which is identified as a Minor Urban Center Place Type.  
 
The Minor Urban Center Place Type is characterized by medium to low intensity 
with building heights typically from two to five stories with incentive heights of up 
to seven stories when certain bonus criteria are met. The proposal is for seven 
stories and is consistent with the incentive height envisioned by the Minor Urban 
Center Place Type. Staff is recommending Stipulation No. 2 to fulfil the incentive 
bonus by requiring the developer deposit money into the City of Phoenix

Developer Deposit Account for improvements to the Grand Canal. If it is not 
possible to reach an agreement between the City and necessary jurisdictional 
partners within five years of the deposit date, the funds shall be utilized for 
affordable housing in the City Council District 4.

5. 
Uptown TOD Policy Plan: 
The site is located within the Uptown TOD Planning Area which is bound by 7th 
Street on the east, Indian School Road on the south, Missouri Avenue on the 
north, and a western boundary that follows 15th Avenue south to the Grand 
Canal and then 7th Avenue to Indian School Road. The policy plan for the 
Uptown TOD District provides a blueprint for fully achieving the transformative 
potential of light rail in a sustainable manner.  
 
Changes advocated in the plan can lower transportation costs for residents, 
create new business opportunities, encourage active, healthy lifestyles, ensure 
Phoenix increases its competitive advantage in the global marketplace, and 
improve prosperity by growing the economy in locations with existing 
infrastructure and public services.

Staff Report: Z-9-22-4 
June 15, 2023 
Page 6 of 17 
 
 
 
 
The Uptown TOD Policy Plan projects a shortfall of 10,888 housing units by 2035 
and articulates a goal for more housing and employment in proximity to high-
capacity transit. The proposed project will produce 155 housing units close to 
light rail, adjacent to existing multifamily residential development, adjacent to the 
Grand Canal Trail, near the Phoenix Sonoran Bikeway on 3rd Avenue, and 
nearby to major employers and destinations. 
 
 
 
The Uptown TOD Plan 
identifies the Grand 
Canalscape as a 
“master plan” and 
includes a rendering of 
the subject site and how 
it may be positioned to 
activate the canal. The 
proposal includes upper 
story residential and 
ground floor commercial 
that is envisioned as a 
restaurant that will be 
oriented onto the canal. 
The Development 
Narrative requires a 
minimum 2,000 square 
feet of commercial 
space and includes 
additional development 
standards to require 
these treatments. 
Furthermore, staff is recommending Stipulation No. 2 to require monies be put 
into the City of Phoenix Developer Deposit Account for improvements to the 
Grand Canal. Canal improvements may include items such as shade structures, 
art, and a gateway arch.  
 
 
 
The subject site is identified on the Conceptual Zoning Plan in the Uptown TOD 
Policy Plan as being appropriate for WU Code Transect 5:5. The applicant is

Staff Report: Z-9-22-4 
June 15, 2023 
Page 7 of 17 
 
 
 
 
 
proposing a PUD that utilizes WU Code 
Transect 5:6 with modifications therefrom. 
While the proposed development 
standards exceed the recommended 
transect, the TOD Strategic Policy 
Framework contains a  
mechanism for achieving bonus points to 
warrant additional intensity. 
 
To exceed the recommended transect 
contained in the Policy Plan, a project must be “mixed-use”, must comply with the 
Phoenix Green Construction Code in addition to achieving one of the following 
options: provide a minimum 30 percent of units are dedicated to long term 
affordability, provide a minimum 30 percent of gross site area is dedicated as 
public open space, a deed of conservation easement is dedicated for an eligible 
historic property, or provide a proportionate in-lieu fee (if a program is available) 
for affordable housing, parks, public parking, or other infrastructure. Staff is 
recommending Stipulation No. 2 to require the applicant allocate funds for 
improvements to the Grand Canal between Central Avenue and 3rd Avenue.  
 
 
PROPOSAL 
6. 
The proposal was developed utilizing the PUD zoning district. The Planned Unit 
Development (PUD) is intended to create a built environment that is superior to 
that produced by conventional zoning districts and design guidelines. Using a 
collaborative and comprehensive approach, an applicant authors and proposes 
standards and guidelines that are tailored to the context of a site on a case by 
case basis. Where the PUD Development Narrative is silent on a requirement, 
the applicable Zoning Ordinance provisions will be applied. 
 
 
 
 
The Development Narrative proposes standards for the redevelopment of the site 
including enhanced standards to activate the canal, to activate Central Avenue, 
and architecture including a step-back from the Grand Canal.

Land Use: 
The PUD proposes a mixed-use development with ground floor commercial and 
multifamily residential on the upper floors. The PUD allows for all uses allowed in 
the Walkable Urban Code, Transect T5:6.  
 
 
10. 
Development Standards: 
The development narrative utilizes the development standards contained in the 
Walkable Urban Code, Transect T5:6 as the foundation for this PUD. The PUD 
proposes a minimum of 2,000 square feet of ground floor commercial and 
multifamily residential on floors two through seven. The development is proposed 
to be a maximum of 80 feet in height and does not have a maximum density. A 
minimum of 20 percent of the gross site area will be open space with outdoor 
terraces on levels three, five, and seven. Parking for residents and guests will be 
provided on site in a parking structure which will be screened by the building. The 
development will provide an indoor secured bicycle parking room with a bicycle 
repair station and guest bicycle parking near building entrances.  
 
The project site has two street frontages along its northern and eastern 
perimeters and is bordered by the Grand Canal to the south. The PUD proposes 
pedestrian-friendly design standards such as a ground-floor “live/work” residential 
units on the canal (south) frontage, and shaded detached sidewalks and 
landscaped setbacks with enhanced shading standards along both street 
frontages. The frontage along the canal and Coolidge Street shall provide the 
Common Entry, Storefront, Arcade, Gallery, or Patio frontage types and the 
frontage along Central Avenue shall provide the Common Entry, Storefront, 
Arcade, or Gallery frontage types.

Landscape and Shade Standards: 
The PUD sets forth standards to activate the canal frontage and two street 
frontages (Coolidge Street and Central Avenue) with pedestrian-oriented design 
and a minimum of three “live/work” units oriented towards the canal. Along 
Central Avenue a minimum 13 foot landscape area shall be provided and along 
Coolidge Street a minimum five foot landscape area shall be provided. 
Additionally, a five foot landscape setback shall be provided on both street 
frontages between the building and the sidewalk.   
 
The public sidewalks along Central Avenue and Coolidge Street shall be shaded 
to a minimum of 75 percent and all walks, amenity spaces, and gathering spaces 
along the Grand Canal shall be shaded a minimum of 50 percent. Additionally, a 
minimum 10 percent of the net site area shall be landscaped. 
 
 
12. 
Design Guidelines: 
The PUD proposes enhanced design guidelines to prioritize the pedestrian and to 
ensure the building is compatible with the surrounding area. The PUD sets forth 
requirements to activate the canal frontage with a step-backed building design, a 
minimum 500 square-foot urban plaza consisting of a stone floor, seating area, 
and landscaping in the southwest corner of the development, and a minimum of 
three ground floor “live/work” units with private patio spaces and direct pedestrian 
access to the Grand Canal.

STUDIES AND POLICIES 
13. 
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.  
 
The proposal aligns with the Tree and Shade Master Plan in the following ways. 
First, the Development Narrative references the Walkable Urban Code 
requirement that all public sidewalks be shaded to a minimum of 75 percent at 
maturity. Second, as required by the PUD narrative, all walks, amenity spaces, 
and gathering spaces along the Grand Canal shall be shaded a minimum of 50 
percent 
 
 
14. 
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 Walkable Urban Code is designed to facilitate pedestrian, bicycle, and 
transit-oriented development and includes provisions to advance the goals of the 
policy guide. Further, the applicant will be required to construct improvements 
along Central Avenue and Coolidge Street which add landscape areas for shade 
trees and vegetation which will further buffer the detached sidewalks from 
vehicular traffic and add thermal comfort to the street environment. Additionally, 
as required by the PUD narrative, the applicant will provide bicycle facilities on 
the site that include secure parking and a bicycle repair station (fix-it station); the 
purpose of these amenities are to encourage residents to utilize a bicycle for 
recreation and transportation including along the Grand Canal, for multimodal 
trips on the light rail, and others.  
 
 
 
15. 
Housing Phoenix:  
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 the 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.

Staff Report: Z-9-22-4 
June 15, 2023 
Page 12 of 17 
 
 
 
 
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 or 
underutilized land in a more sustainable fashion. 
 
 
 
16. 
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 PUD Narrative states that 
a recycling program will be provided for residences and office/common areas. 
 
  
17. 
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 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 No. 1b which 
requires a minimum of nine parking spaces to be EV installed. 
 
 
18. 
Monarch Butterfly Pledge:  
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.1c addresses the planting of milkweed shrubs, or other 
native nectar plant species, on the subject site.

to City and ADA standards. Furthermore, the Street Transportation Department is 
requiring that the developer dedicate 25 feet and construct the south half of 
Coolidge Street, that all sidewalks and streetscape areas are within right-of-way 
or a sidewalk easement, and submit a Traffic Impact Study for the proposed 
development. This is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 3 through 7. 
 
 
21. 
The Public Works Department, Floodplain Management Division determined the 
site is in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) called Zone A, on panel 1740L of 
the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) dated October 16, 2013. The Public 
Works Department provided Stipulation No. 8 to require the applicant follow and 
document all necessary processes and improvements. 
 
 
22. 
The Aviation Department requires the existence and operational characteristics 
of Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport be disclosed to future owners and tenants. This is 
addressed in Stipulation No. 9. 
 
 
23. 
The Fire Department commented that the site plan and fire hydrants must comply 
with the Phoenix Fire Code. Further, the Department commented that they do not 
know the water supply at this site and recommended the installation of an 
Emergency Responder Radio Coverage System.

24. 
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

Subject:
Forty600 Central Development
Date:
Monday, March 14, 2022 6:58:35 PM
Councilmember Pastor, Neighbors, and Friends, 
I just attended the community meeting for Forty600 Central Ave presented by Ben Tate at
Withey Morris. The development is proposed on the property located at Hinkley Lighting's
location. It's a 7 story tower with retail on the bottom and luxury apartments above. 
They are seeking a zoning of PUD as WUC is too restrictive. Overall, the project is a decent
representation of what is planned along Central with one MAJOR CAVEAT. 
They've offered no plan to help with the overall traffic along Central. Additionally, the
specific traffic of the development is being redirected from Peirson Place to Carnation via
Campbell. 
Learning from the 3rd Ave & Canal disaster, this development will have only one entrance
and exit both located on Central. Ben described this as a positive for all Pierson Place
residents stating no increased traffic on Coolidge as all traffic will turn south and then
wherever they are headed from there. 
Much like the Ben Stiller movie where Jack Black created a spray that made dog poop
disappear, just because you can't see the poop anymore doesn't mean it disappeared. Roughly
half of the traffic leaving the development will be heading north or west, forcing them to u-
turn or turn right on Campbell, neither of which is an acceptable scenario under current
conditions. Proposing to alleviate traffic of Peirson Place and Coolidge by dumping it on
Campbell and Carnation is not a solution of any kind. It's just moving the dog poop from their
yards to ours.
In fairness, you can't blame the scorpion for being a scorpion. The real issue lies at the City
who is responsible for a whole-istic look at development effects on traffic and Livability.
While this development reasonably meets the TOD plans, the missing component is the
upgrades streets and transportation Infrastructure promised. The original approved plan had
3rd St continuing around the park offering through to 7th St, drop off for Central High School
and alternative routes for local traffic. 
As it stands today, intersections on Central at Indian School and Camelback are rated 'F' by
traffic studies. As of today, around 4000 units are at some stage of development between those
3 streets and 3rd Ave. This will effectively triple the amount of residents in this half mile
block. What grade is 3x worse than an 'F'?
6000 students attend school within a half mile of Indian School Park. We are setting ourselves
up for a disaster that nobody will be able to say they didn't see coming. 
Ben described the issues we are facing as "growing pains". I respectfully disagree as growing
pains implies growing out of the pain. The likely outcome of believing this will naturally fix
itself is permanent dysfunction and affliction.

Due to the disparate and segmented neighborhoods being broken into tiny sections divided
among districts, villages, and and subcommittees, we have no singular voice like Encanto or
Coronado despite our community having significantly more development under way than
either. We don't have a single member on the Encanto Village Planning Committee. 
Right now is the last chance we have to ensure Uptown is not just filled with developments
but livable and desirable for decades to come. We can't allow the fate of our homes and lives
be dictated by the desires of developers. If we do, none of should be surprised by the scars left
by the scorpions.

I'd love to hear others ideas on how we can solve this. I'll propose a couple of issues before we
even look at actual solutions. 
1) EVPC Representation - We should have, at least, 2 members from our neighborhood
considering 7 vacancies exist. 
2) Uptown United - We need all of the dozen or so smaller groups impacted by intersections at
Central and Indian School and Camelback (7th to 7th and Clarendon to Missouri) to become
one unified voice that is able to be heard rather than a bunch of small whispers. 
Once we've got representation and access to leadership, we can then begin discussions on how
to solve these issues. It's not my intention to be overly dramatic as I realize these are first
world problems. With that said, it's our world and if we don't protect it, others will destroy it.
P.S. I don't think Ben Tate is a scorpion. He's always been nice to me and responsive. Just
didn't have a better analogy.
