CONNECT PEOPLE AND PLACES; TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT CORE 
VALUE; LAND USE PRINCIPLE: Encourage high-density housing and high 
intensity employment uses to locate adjacent or close to transit stations per 
adopted transit district plans. 
The proposal will place approximately 1,600 dwelling units on an underutilized site 
directly adjacent to light rail, near two light rail stations, and implement the 
recommended transects identified on the Uptown Transit Oriented Development 
Policy Plan. The proposal, as stipulated, will promote transit oriented development 
through relatively small blocks, shaded and detached sidewalks along all public and 
private streets, the provision of pedestrian and bicyclist amenities, and a mix of land 
uses. Additionally, the site layout meets the standards outlined in the WU Code.

CONNECT PEOPLE AND PLACES; TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT CORE 
VALUE; LAND USE PRINCIPLE: Support compact, small block, mixed use 
development in appropriate locations. 
The proposal, as stipulated, will develop the subject site at a gross density of 102 
dwelling units per acre, in four relatively small blocks, and with a mix of ground floor 
residential and non-residential spaces. Additionally, the proposal will utilize the 25 
percent by-right parking reduction allowed by the Walkable Urban Code due to its 
proximity to light rail and encourage walking, bicycling, and transit-use through well 
shaded and engaging streetscape environments.   
CONNECT PEOPLE AND PLACES; TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT CORE 
VALUE; LAND USE PRINCIPLE: DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Design public 
infrastructure to include pedestrian and bicycle amenities. 
The proposal includes both pedestrian and bicycle oriented design to encourage 
alternative transportation modes for future residents and patrons of the development 
but also the greater community. Pedestrian features, as stipulated, include relatively 
small blocks, a mix of land uses, engaging building fronts, and streetscape plazas 
along Central Avenue. Bicycle features, as stipulated include secure bicycle parking 
for residents, convenient bicycle parking for guests, and multiple bicycle repair 
stations that will complement the nearby Phoenix Sonoran Bikeway (3rd Avenue) and 
nearby high-capacity transit lines by promoting multimodal trips. 
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 utilizes the Walkable Urban Code which includes design guidelines and 
development standards to encourage walking, bicycling, and transit use. These 
standards include shaded streetscapes, units fronting onto the public sidewalk, 
parking situated away from the public street, and on-site amenities for both residents 
of the site and residents of the surrounding neighborhood. 
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 between the back of curb and the building 
fronts including a detached sidewalk that will be shaded to 75 percent with shade 
trees. These improvements will serve not only the residents of the development but 
will also make the walk more comfortable from the adjacent neighborhood to the light 
rail and other nearby amenities such as Steele Indian School Park.

CONNECT PEOPLE AND PLACES CORE VALUE; OPPORTUNITY SITES; LAND 
USE PRINCIPLE: Promote and encourage compatible development and 
redevelopment with a mix of housing types in neighborhoods close to 
employment centers, commercial areas, and where transit or transportation 
alternatives exist. 
The proposal will introduce new housing opportunities in Central Phoenix with close 
access to two light rail stations, a major community park, and the Encanto Village 
Core. These additional housing opportunities supports goals contained in the Housing 
Phoenix Plan to preserve and create 50,000 units by 2030. 
CONNECT PEOPLE AND PLACES CORE VALUE; INFILL DEVELOPMENT; LAND 
USE PRINCIPLE: Promote and encourage compatible infill development with a 
mix of housing types in neighborhoods close to employment centers, 
commercial areas, and where transit or transportation alternatives exist. 
The proposal will activate a site that has been vacant and underutilized since 1986 
and, as stipulated, includes compatibility features such as deeper build-to lines to 
allow for a stronger tree canopy that will act as a transition to the surrounding 
neighborhood. Additionally, as stipulated, the development will create housing 
opportunities within the North Central Employment Center.

Background/Issues/Analysis 
 
SUBJECT SITE 
1. 
This request is to rezone 15.61 acres located at the northwest corner of Central 
Avenue and Glenrosa Avenue from R1-6 TOD-1 (Approved C-2 H-R H/W TOD-
1), R-3 TOD-1 (Approved C-2 H-R H/W TOD-1), R-3 TOD-1 (Approved C-2 H-R 
TOD-1), R-5 TOD-1 (Approved C-2 H-R H/W TOD-1), C-2 TOD-1 (Approved C-2 
H-R H/W TOD-1), and C-2 TOD-1 (Approved C-2 H-R TOD-1) to WU Code T4:3 
UT, WU Code T5:5 UT, and WU Code T6:22 UT for the purpose of mixed use 
and multifamily residential.   
 
 
 
The subject has been entirely vacant and undeveloped since 1986 but was 
temporarily used as a plant nursery and community garden from 2016 to 2021. 
Prior to that time, there were a variety of uses on the site on historic aerial 
photographs including single-family residences along the north, south, and 
western perimeters of the site, commercial along Central Avenue, and uses of a 
more intense agricultural character at the interior of the site.

There have been multiple 
development proposals for the 
subject site over the past decades 
including several that resulted in 
zoning entitlements for significant 
height and intensity. Most notably, 
the site received zoning approval 
in 1984 through Rezoning Case 
Nos. 344-83 and Z-91-84 to allow 
a height of 500 feet on the entire 
site, subject to stipulations. 
Existing Entitlements, Rendering; Source: Berry 
Riddell 
 
 
 
In 2003, the City of Phoenix adopted Interim Transit-Oriented Zoning Overlay 
District – One (TOD-1) which was applied to the entire subject site and many 
others throughout the areas that would be served by the first phase of light rail 
construction. Broadly, the TOD-1 prohibits auto-oriented uses, supersedes auto-
oriented development standards such as broad setbacks and walled complexes, 
and is intended to support a compact pattern of development more conducive to 
walking, bicycling, and transit use. The TOD-1 was specifically intended to be 
replaced by the WU Code through the rezoning process which provides more 
robust transit oriented development standards. The adoption of the TOD-1 
represented a policy shift for areas adjacent to light rail regarding the form of 
development appropriate near light rail.  
 
Whereas previous entitlements may have permitted or required broad setbacks, 
the TOD-1 established minimum build-to lines and streetscape standards like 
those that what would later be adopted in the WU Code. While the current zoning 
approvals permit a significant amount of intensity, the approvals were subject to 
a variety of development standards and stipulations which reflected common 
practices of the era that are not consistent with the requirements of the TOD-1 
nor the vision contained in the Uptown TOD Policy Plan for walkable and transit-
oriented development. Examples of incompatible stipulations include 1) a 
requirement for a vehicular bridge on 3rd Avenue across the Grand Canal and 2) 
a requirement that the development be constructed in substantial conformance 
to the 1984 site plan, including the building heights and the location of a parking 
structure situated at the northwest corner of the site.

GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP 
3.  
The General Plan Land Use Map depicts a 
designation of Commercial for the subject 
site and the proposal for commercial and 
multifamily is consistent with the designation.  
 
West of Central Avenue: The subject site is 
adjacent to land with General Plan Land Use 
Map designations of Residential 15+ dwelling 
units per acre to the north, to Residential 3.5 
to 5 dwelling units per acre to the west, 
southwest, and northwest, and to 
Commercial on the south.

Map designations of Parks /Open Space, Commercial, and Public/Quasi-Public. 
 
The subject site is also located within the study areas for the Transit Oriented 
Strategic Policy Framework, the Uptown Transit Oriented Development Policy 
Plan areas which supplement the General Plan, and within a quarter mile from 
the Encanto Village Core. 
 
 
 
4. 
The subject site is located within a quarter 
mile of the Encanto Village Core which is 
located immediately south of Indian School 
Road from approximately 7th Avenue on the 
west, to 3rd Avenue on the east, and Thomas 
Road on the south. Since the 1980s, the 
village cores were where the greatest intensity 
was envisioned in these villages and this 
concept remains central to the Connected 
Oasis vision contained in the 2015 Phoenix 
General Plan.  
 
While outside the formal boundary of the 
Encanto Village Core, the proposal is within a 
short walk, a short bike ride via Central 
Avenue or 3rd Avenue (the Phoenix Sonoran 
Bikeway), or a single light rail stop. The

proposal is designed in a manner that complements the vision for Uptown 
Phoenix as articulated through adopted policies, described in this staff report.

5. 
Uptown TOD Policy Plan:  
The site is located within the Uptown TOD Planning Area, which is bound by 
Missouri Avenue on the north, 7th Street on the east, Indian School Road on the 
south, and the western edge is generally 7th Avenue south of the Grand Canal 
and 15th Avenue north of the Grand Canal.  
 
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. 
 
 
 
The 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 
proposal would add approximately 1,600 dwelling units near light rail, major 
employers such as the Carl T. Hayden VA Medical Center that employs more 
than 2,400, educational facilities including four high schools, and the 74-acre 
Steele Indian School Park. 
 
 
 
With specific regard to the subject site, 
the Uptown TOD District Plan provides 
the following guidance: 
 
The site is depicted on the Conceptual 
Zoning Plan with recommended 
Transects of 4:3, 5:5, and 6:22. The 
plan depicts: much of the site as 
Transect 6:22 which allows a 
maximum height of 250 feet, Transect 
5:5 along 2nd Avenue north of 
Glenrosa which allows a maximum 
height of 56 feet, and Transect 4:3 
which allows a maximum height of 40 
feet along a portion of Glenrosa 
Avenue. The applicant’s proposal is 
consistent with the Conceptual Zoning 
Plan.

6. 
The subject site is also depicted within 
the Illustrative Master Plan which is 
intended to “to help identify opportunity 
sites, address areas needing urban 
“repair”, propose a system of open 
spaces, illustrate the scale and type of 
development, and to provide guidance for 
the Walkable Urban form based code.”  
 
For the subject site, the plan contains the 
following description: “An infill 
development is proposed that restores 
the street network and transitions from 
higher density development along Central 
Avenue to smaller scale building types 
facing the existing neighborhood.

Plan for Steele Indian School Park; Source: 
Planning and Development Department 
 
 
 
 
 
The proposal, as stipulated, is consistent with this Illustrative Master Plan in that 
it restores the street network on the Montecito alignment and the 1st Avenue 
alignment, places the greatest intensity along Central Avenue, transitions to 
lower intensity as it approaches 2nd Avenue on the west and the western portion 
of Glenrosa Avenue, and integrates publicly accessible open space.  
 
 
 
7. 
Transit Oriented Development 
Strategic Policy Framework: 
The Transit Oriented Development 
Strategic Policy Framework is part of 
the City’s General Plan. The framework 
identifies planning typologies to 
describe urban environments for the 42 
station areas within the current and 
future light rail system. The subject site 
is located within a quarter mile of two 
light rail stations including Campbell 
Road which is identified as a Minor 
Urban Center Place Type and Indian 
School Road which is identified as a 
Major Urban Center Place Type. 
Transit Oriented Development Strategic Policy 
Framework, Place Type Map Excerpt; Source: 
Planning and Development Department 
 
 
The Minor Urban Center Place Type is characterized by medium-low intensity 
with building heights typically from two to five stories with incentive heights of up 
to 7 stories.  The Major Urban Center Place Type is characterized by medium-

Staff Report: Z-17-22-4 
June 1, 2023 
Page 13 of 33 
 
 
 
 
high intensity with heights typically from four to eight stories with incentive 
heights up to 15 stories. The development proposal contains elements that are 
consistent with the intensity envisioned by the both applicable Place Types. 
While the maximum height of 240 feet proposed by the applicant exceeds the 
range within either Place Type, the recommended intensity from the Uptown 
TOD Policy Plan’s Conceptual Zoning Plan prevails, thus overcoming the 
apparent conflict.    
 
 
 
Hierarchy of Policy Guidance: Uptown 
District Plan vs. TOD Strategic Policy 
Framework. Both the Uptown TOD 
Policy Plan (the District Plan) and the 
TOD Strategic Policy Framework 
provide guidance on the appropriate 
Excerpt from the TOD Strategic Policy 
Framework; Source: Planning and 
Development Department 
 
 
scale and intensity of development near light rail. However, the TOD Strategic 
Policy Framework explicitly states that the district plan shall prevail when a 
conflict exists. 
 
The rationale is based on scope and the depth of research for both plans. Unlike 
the TOD Strategic Policy Framework which analyzed 42 station areas across the 
complete build-out of the eventual light rail system, the Uptown TOD Policy Plan 
focused on a much smaller area and the Conceptual Zoning Plan was intended 
as a blue-print for a single rezoning action that would replace traditional districts 
with the WU Code. While the single rezoning action did not occur for various 
reasons, the Conceptual Zoning Plan offers to most complete policy guidance for 
the appropriate intensity within the study areas. 
 
 
8. 
 
 
 
Encanto Village Character Plan:  
The Encanto Village Character Plan was approved and adopted into the Phoenix 
General Plan through General Plan Amendment GPA-1-19. The proposed 
project advances the following items identified in the Encanto Village Character 
Plan: 
• Land Use Principle: Include a mix of housing types and densities where 
appropriate within each village that support a broad range of lifestyles. 
• Design Principle: Enhance the compatibility of residential infill projects by 
carefully designing the edges of the development to be sensitive to 
adjacent existing housing. Create landscape buffers and other amenities 
to link new and existing development. 
• Design Principle: Create new development or redevelopment that is 
sensitive to the scale and character of the surrounding neighborhoods and 
incorporates adequate development standards to prevent negative 
impact(s) on the residential properties.

PROPOSAL 
9. 
Site Plan 
The proposal is for a four phase, 
approximately 10-year, redevelopment of the 
undeveloped subject site for 1,600 units of 
multifamily and approximately 7,000 square 
feet of ground floor retail along Central 
Avenue. The conceptual site plans divide the 
site into four pieces with private streets on 
the east-west Montecito Avenue alignment 
and on the north-south 1st Avenue 
alignment. The approach to height and 
intensity is guided largely by the Conceptual 
Zoning Plan from the Uptown TOD Policy 
Plan. The conceptual site plan depicts 
ground flood commercial along Central 
Avenue and a large open space area along 
2nd Avenue that will be open to the public.

10. Conceptual Building Elevations 
The applicant describes the architectural aesthetic as being inspired by the 
historic Carnation building that previously existed south of the site with “angular 
and planar roof elements that are directly tied to roof elements that were central 
to the design of the Carnation building. The linearity of the Carnation building 
lines are incorporated into the design of the balconies that front Central Avenue.”

12. Phases 3 and 4: The southwest parcel is intended to be phase three and is 
depicted with a maximum height of six-stories and 70 feet that decreases as it 
nears single-family residential. The southeast parcel is intended to be phase four 
and is depicted with a maximum height of 22 stories and 240 feet on the north 
edge of the site with the remainder of the site limited to five-stories and 60 feet.  
 
 
 
STAFF ANALYSIS 
13. Upon review of the conceptual site plans, conceptual building elevations, the 
Walkable Urban Code, and applicable policy documents, staff is recommending 
a series of stipulations to promote an efficient and orderly build-out of the subject 
site that also implements the shared vision for a walkable and transit-oriented 
community.  
 
Site Development Proposal and Related Stipulations 
The conceptual site plans are complex due to its size and that future phases are 
more fluid to respond to future market conditions. The below stipulations 
recommended by staff provide guidance on important site improvements that are 
key to implementing a high-quality, walkable, and mixed-use project.  
 
Central Avenue Interface and Enhancements: Central Avenue has a long 
history of importance to the City of Phoenix, and this has been memorialized in 
countless planning documents and policies over the years and this role remains 
vital today regarding transit oriented development. As such, to add further vitality 
to the Central Avenue corridor, staff is recommending a series of stipulations.  
 
Stipulation No. 1 requires the applicant return to the Encanto Village Planning 
Committee and the Planning Hearing Officer to publicly review each of the future 
phased to ensure the proposal adequately addresses several conditions. Related 
to Central Avenue, the plans will be required to document ground floor activation, 
a minimum 10,000 square feet of non-residential space, and a minimum of 240 
linear feet of storefront. 
 
Stipulation No. 9 requires common entry frontage types along all public and 
private streets to provide direct pedestrian access from upper and interior units 
to adjacent sidewalks. 
 
Stipulation No. 11 requires architectural enhancements to the building mass at 
all intersections of Central Avenue and public or private streets.   
 
Stipulation No. 12 requires the applicant comply with both the Central Avenue 
Development Standards and the standards for the Transit Uptown Character 
Area in the Walkable Urban Code.

Streetscapes and Sidewalks: 
• Turney Avenue: Stipulation No. 13 requires a detached sidewalk that will 
be shaded to 75 percent by shade trees. Stipulation No. 14 requires the 
above-ground utilities be placed underground. 
• 2nd Avenue: Staff is recommending two stipulations along this street 
frontage which is shared with single-family residences, and both require 
improvements that will be implemented for the full length of the site from 
Turney Avenue on the north to Glenrosa Avenue on the south. Stipulation 
No. 15 requires a detached sidewalk that will be shaded to 75 percent by 
shade trees. Stipulation No. 16 requires a row of shade trees between the 
building fronts and the sidewalk.  
• Glenrosa Avenue: Stipulation No. 17 requires a detached sidewalk that 
will shaded to 75 percent by shade trees. 
 
 
14. Private Streets: The proposal includes one north-south private street and one 
east-west private street. The Walkable Urban Code is largely silent on the design 
of private streets, and therefore staff is recommending a series of stipulations to 
promote walkability, transit-orientation, and harmony with the surrounding 
neighborhoods. 
• Stipulation No. 18 requires all private streets be overlain with a public 
pedestrian accessway easement and meet the following requirements:  
prohibit access to/from Montecito Avenue except for emergency vehicles, 
bicyclists, and pedestrians (a.), include detached pedestrian pathways on 
each private street (b. and c.), include enhanced pedestrian crossings at 
all intersections where outside of public right of way (d.), and include 
bicycle routes on each private street (e.)  
• Stipulation No. 23 requires the junction to/from Turney Avenue and the 
north-south private street be restricted to 3/4 access that would prohibit 
left turning movements from Turney Avenue into the subject site. The 
purpose of this stipulation is to prevent turning traffic from backing up onto 
Central Avenue. 
 
 
15. Publicly Accessible Open Space: The applicant is proposing 29,000 square 
feet of publicly accessible open space along their 2nd Avenue frontage where 
the site has the greatest interface with single-family homes. The inclusion and 
programming of this open space is addressed in Stipulation No. 5. The applicant 
is proposing the Montecito Avenue alignment be closed to all but emergency 
vehicle access, bicyclists, and pedestrians. The prohibition of automotive through 
traffic is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 18 (d.) and 20.

Staff Report: Z-17-22-4 
June 1, 2023 
Page 18 of 33 
 
 
 
 
At the termination of this private street to vehicular traffic, the site plan depicts a 
transition into the publicly accessible open space including a “central art piece.” 
The inclusion of public-facing art is addressed in Stipulation No. 7 which also 
requires the applicant return to the Encanto Village Planning Committee for 
review and comment on the art plans.  
 
 
 
16. Scale and Compatibility Measures: The Walkable Urban Code utilizes a form-
based approach to promoting compatibility with the surrounding area. Staff is 
recommending two stipulations to promote compatibility along the property 
edges where the subject site is adjacent to single-family residences with single-
family zoning. There are two exposures: one along 2nd Avenue on the west and 
one along Glenrosa Avenue along the south property line.  
 
 
 
 
2nd Avenue (West Property Line): In accordance with the Conceptual Zoning 
Map contained in the Uptown TOD Policy Plan, the applicant has proposed 
Transect 5:5 along the west property line which is situated across 2nd Avenue 
from single-family residences with mostly R1-6 zoning. To promote compatibility 
with the adjacent single-family residential zoning, staff is recommending 
Stipulation No. 8 to require a maximum height of 30 feet within 35 feet of the 
west property line and a maximum height of 40 feet within 60 feet of the west 
property line. 
 
 
Glenrosa Avenue (South Property Line). 
Pertaining to the portion of the subject site 
between the 1st Avenue alignment on the east 
and the 2nd Avenue alignment on the west), the 
applicant has proposed Transect 4:3 and 
Transect 6:22 which have maximum heights of 
40 feet and 250 feet respectively. Like the 2nd 
Avenue exposure, this area is developed as and 
zoned for single-family residential. Unlike the 
2nd Avenue exposure, the Conceptual Zoning 
Plan in the Uptown TOD Policy Plan indicates 
these single-family parcels may be appropriate 
for additional intensity, The Conceptual Zoning 
Plan recommends T4:3 across from the 
proposed T4:3 on the subject site and 
 
 
recommends T5:5 where across from the proposed T6:22 on the subject site. 
 
For the portion of the subject site between the 1st Avenue alignment and the 2nd 
Avenue, staff is recommending Stipulation No. 10 to require a maximum height 
of 40 feet within 60 feet of the south property line.

Architecture (Phase 1). Stipulation No. 3 requires the first phase of development  
at the northwest corner of the site incorporate a minimum 10 percent of premium 
building materials such as masonry or stone on all sides of the building. 
 
Trash, Loading / Unloading. Stipulation No. 21 requires that all refuse collection, 
loading, and unloading be situated at the interior of the site and accessed from 
the private streets. 
 
 
 
17. 
Phasing Requirements 
The applicant is proposing the site be developed in four phases with the first 
being the northwest corner (Parcel 1), the second being the northeast corner 
(Parcel 2), the 3rd being the southwest corner (Parcel 3), and the 4th being the 
southeast corner. The below stipulations pertain to the phasing of the project. 
• Stipulation No. 4 requires that all private streets be developed with the 
first phase of development and be completed prior to the issuance of a 
Certificate of Occupancy. 
• Stipulation Nos. 15 and 16 require the 2nd Avenue streetscape 
improvements be constructed with the first phase of development 
including two rows of shade trees.  
 
 
 
 
18. 
Planning Hearing Officer 
Public Conceptual Reviews 
The below described stipulations require the applicant to return to the Encanto 
Village Planning Committee, and, in some cases, the Planning Hearing Officer to 
review conceptual plans. These meetings are public hearings and will require 
both property owners and registered neighborhood groups be notified. The 
purpose of these stipulations is to provide another opportunity for plans to be 
reviewed publicly prior to construction.  
• Stipulation No. 1 requires all future phases be reviewed through the 
Planning Hearing Officer Public Hearing Process to ensure the following 
elements are adequately addressed: (a.) evidence of ground floor 
activation along Central Avenue, (b.) a minimum 3,500 square feet of non-
residential space along Central Avenue in the northeast parcel, (c.) a 
minimum of 120 feet of continuous storefront along Central Avenue in the 
northeast parcel, (d.) a minimum 3,500 square feet of non-residential 
space along Central Avenue in the southeast parcel, (e.) a minimum of 
120 feet of continuous storefront along Central Avenue in the southeast 
parcel, (f.) a minimum 10 percent of premium materials on all sides for 
Parcels 2, 3, and 4 respectively.  
• Stipulation No. 2 requires Parcel 1 to return to the Encanto Village 
Planning Committee for review and comment prior to preliminary site plan

Staff Report: Z-17-22-4 
June 1, 2023 
Page 20 of 33 
 
 
 
 
approval so the neighborhood and committee remain apprised of the 
plans that are moving toward construction. This stipulation applies to both 
the conceptual site plan and conceptual building elevations.  
• Stipulation No. 7 requires the applicant return to the Encanto Village 
Planning Committee to share their plans for a piece of public-facing art 
that will be situated on the Montecito Avenue alignment near the west 
property line.  
 
 
STUDIES AND POLICIES 
19. 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.  
 
To advance the goals of the Tree and Shade Master Plan, as stipulated, the 
proposal will: 
• Include detached sidewalks along all perimeter streets that will be shaded 
to 75 percent (Stipulation Nos. 13 through 17). 
• Include detached sidewalks along all private streets that will be shaded to 
75 percent (Stipulation No. 18). 
 
 
20. 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. 
 
To advance the goals of the Complete Streets Guidelines, as stipulated, the 
applicant will be required to complete the following: 
• Include secure bicycle parking for residents, guest bicycle parking, and 
four bicycle repair stations of which two will be publicly accessible 
(Stipulation No. 24). 
• Provide an internal circulation plan for on-site pedestrian and vehicular 
movements and the plan will be updated with each phase of the 
development (Stipulation No. 19). 
• Include shaded and detached sidewalks along all public and private 
streets to promote pedestrian activity by creating an environment that is

Staff Report: Z-17-22-4 
June 1, 2023 
Page 21 of 33 
 
 
 
 
both thermally comfortable and buffered from vehicular traffic (Stipulation 
Nos. 12, 13, and 15 through 18). To implement these, the applicant will be 
required to dedicate sidewalk easements where needed (Stipulation No. 
26)  and to underground utilities along Turney Avenue (Stipulation No. 
14). 
 
 
21. 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. 
There are shared lane markings on Central Avenue, the Grand Canal to the 
north which functions are a regional bicycle route, and 3rd Avenue which is the 
Phoenix Sonoran Bikeway and provides connectivity to downtown Phoenix.  
 
 
 
To promote alternative transportation, staff is 
recommending Stipulation No. 24 to require 
bicycle infrastructure which, in concert with 
high-capacity transit, can drastically expand the 
reach of the transit network. The Walkable 
Urban Code requires 0.25 bicycle parking 
spaces per dwelling unit and the stipulation 
requires that these spaces be secure facilities, 
such as bike lockers or a bicycle storage room. 
The stipulation requires guest bicycle parking  
Example of a Fix-It Station; Source:

for guests and for commercial patrons. The stipulation requires a minimum of 
four bicycle repair (fix-it) stations including two that must be publicly accessible. 
Also, the stipulation requires electrical receptacles near the secure bicycle 
parking to allow e-bike users to charge their batteries.  
 
 
22. 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.  
 
The proposed development supports the Plan’s goal of preserving or creating 
50,000 housing units by 2030 by contributing housing units to a vacant parcel 
with adjacency to high-capacity transit and existing infrastructure. The proposal 
will help to address the supply shortage at a more rapid pace while using vacant 
land in a more sustainable fashion.

23. 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. 
 
 
24. 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. 6 addresses the planting of milkweed shrubs, 
or other native nectar plant species, on the subject site. 
 
 
25. 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 Nos. 24 and 
25.

COMMUNITY CORRESONDENCE 
26. As of the writing of this report, 51 letters of opposition have been received from 
27 respondents. Concerns include the scale and intensity of the proposal, the 
proposed use and users of the site, traffic impacts, and overflow parking impacts. 
Correspondents also expressed a desire for more commercial space along 
Central Avenue, a desire for greater compatibility where the proposal abuts 
single-family residences, a desire for traffic mitigation.  
 
 
 
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 
27. The Street Transportation Department provided a series of comments and 
stipulations. The Department noted the development must: 
• Comply with the Central Avenue Development Standards and the Transit 
Uptown Character Area Standards (Stipulation No. 12),  
• Dedicate a sidewalk easement for any streetscape area that falls outside 
of public right-of-way (Stipulation No. 26), 
• Dedicate a public pedestrian accessway easement on all private streets to 
allow pedestrians and bicyclists to unrestricted access (Stipulation No. 
18), 
• Restrict ingress/egress to one point of access on Turney Avenue and that 
access shall restrict left-in movements from Turney Avenue (Stipulation 
No. 23), 
• Prepare a Traffic Impact Study prior to the approval of any plans and that 
study must analyze the offset intersection at Central Avenue and 
Glenrosa Avenue (Stipulation No. 22),  
• Construct all street improvements within and adjacent to the public right of 
way and these improvements must comply with ADA accessibility 
standards (Stipulation No. 27).  
 
 
28. The Public Transit Department noted the location of the site is immediately 
adjacent to light rail and a high-ridership bus corridor. The Department requested 
the pedestrian realm be enhanced with abundant shade (Stipulation Nos. 12, 13, 
and 15 through 17) and a mix of ground floor uses (Stipulation No. 1) to activate 
the streetscape. The department also noted the importance of windows onto the 
sidewalks and public spaces, and this is addressed through the Walkable Urban 
Code’s “frontage type” standards, through Stipulation Nos. 1.c. and 1.e. which 
require continuous storefront along a portion of Central Avenue, and through 
Stipulation 5.e. which requires “frontage types” for all units adjacent to the 
publicly accessible open space along 2nd Avenue. Additionally, Stipulation No. 9 
requires common entry frontage types along all public and private streets to 
provide direct pedestrian access from upper and interior units to adjacent 
sidewalks.

Staff Report: Z-17-22-4

29. The Aviation Department commented that the subject site is within the Traffic 
Pattern Airspace of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and therefore 
requested Stipulation Nos. 28 and 29 which requires the applicant to disclose the 
existence, and operational characteristics of Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport to future 
owners or tenants of the property and to receive a “no hazard determination” 
from the FAA. 
 
 
OTHER 
30. 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. This is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 30 
through 33.  
 
 
 
31. 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. 33. 
 
 
 
32. 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.

Better Integration to Existing Neighborhood -- Zoning Request Z-17-
Date:
Wednesday, May 24, 2023 12:54:28 PM
Dear Nick and Josh –
Thank you for including in Planning's draft stipulations regarding Petree Properties rezoning
request, Z-17-22-4, a requirement that limits building height to 30 feet within 35 feet and 40
feet within 60 feet for the portion of the subject site zoned WU Code T5:5, measured from
2nd Avenue. The Carnation Association of Neighbors has been requesting this of Petree
Properties for over a year.  It is a concern for Carnation residents that a dominating structure
will negatively affect their privacy and homes.  We believe it will greatly impact how well the
development integrates with the surrounding single-story homes.
However, please also consider the homes on the southwest end of 2nd Avenue, where the
Petree project is requesting T4:3 zoning. The single-story homes across the street deserve the
same protections that Planning is recommending for the homes across from T5:5 zoning.
We highly appreciate the thoughtful consideration given by Planning regarding the aesthetics
and scale, when compared to all of the single-story homes located along the west side of this
proposal.
Regards,
Diane Mihalsky

Hello,
It is referring to building height restrictions when in proximity to a single family homes on and
around 2nd Ave. The following restrictions are being recommend by the city of Phoenix
planning and development department per a draft document we received.
Per Z-17-22-4: T5:5 BUILDING HEIGHT: For the portion of the subject site zoned WU
Code 
T5:5 and measured from 2nd Avenue, the building height shall not exceed 30 
feet within 35 feet and 40 feet within 60 feet.
We'd like to see the same restrictions applied to other zoning WU codes associated with the
project to help protect the privacy of the folks that live in the area. Nobody wants to have
random people be able to look down from there window or balcony and see everything that's
going on in their backyard. The houses were there way before the idea of an apartment
complex and it's not okay to take away thier privacy because the city of Phoenix would rather
build now and ask questions later. 
The neighborhood is all for density and growth, we just want to see it down right. We have
had to many mistakes with apartments being build in the neighborhood to assume the city is
looking out for our best interest.
Thank you,
Mike Arteca

Concerning Petree Properties Rezoning Request (Z-17-22-4)
Date:
Tuesday, May 23, 2023 2:51:54 PM
This email is sent on behalf of Marcia Nix:
Dear Encanto Village Planning Commissioners,
I am writing to express my profound concern over Petree Properties' request to rezone 15 acres
along Central Avenue, between Glenrosa and Turney (Z-17-22-4). As a resident invested in
the betterment of our neighborhood, myself and others have engaged in extensive discussions
with the developer and their legal representative, Wendy Riddell, over the past year. Through
numerous meetings, emails, and phone calls, our intention was to reach an agreement that
would foster a development aligned with the goals of our community, particularly in
accordance with the Reinvent Phoenix Uptown TOD Policy Plan.
Regrettably, little progress has been made since Petree Properties first presented their plan to
the community following a request made by the Carnation Association of Neighbors
Development Committee, back in March 2022.  Despite our repeated appeals for the inclusion
of community-desired elements, the passing months and subsequent meetings have yielded
minimal change.
We advocated for the creation of separate, smaller, and more walkable parcels, the extension
of sidewalks along Glenrosa and Turney to at least 5th Avenue, a balanced distribution of one-
bedroom and two-bedroom units (no studios) along 2nd Avenue, a reduction in the number of
units per acre along 2nd Avenue (even offing to support more along Central), and sensitivity
in scale when adjacent to single-story homes.  We lobbied hard for a much needed
commercial-retail component and other amenities that elevate intense developments livability.
To manage traffic we asked for the implementation of a left turn in, right turn out on Turney.
We implored Petree Properties to incorporate interior private streets that would contribute to
the City of Phoenix public street parking and adhere to the same rules and regulations as the
surrounding streets. This measure aimed to alleviate the additional strain the development
would impose on public street parking. Yet again, our ideas were rejected.
Regrettably, the only affirmative responses we have received from Petree Properties have
pertained to matters mandated by code. Over the course of the past year, we have diligently
collaborated with Petree Properties in the hopes of shaping a proposal that would benefit all
stakeholders. However, the proposal that Petree Properties intends to present to the Encanto
Village Planning Commissioners closely mirrors their initial plan presented at the first
community meeting in April 2022.
We don’t expect to reach agreement on everything, but we do expect to get some return that
aligns with the functional goals we have for our neighborhood.  We urge our Encanto Village
Planning Commissioners to exercise their oversight, and push Petree Properties back to the
community so we can turn this proposal into something we can all be proud of.  It is vital to
prioritize the long-term well-being and cohesion of our community when making decisions of

this nature.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Marcia Nix

Subject: Zoning request Z-17-22-4’s Lack of an adequate commercial-retail component
Date:
Tuesday, May 23, 2023 2:50:26 PM
Dear Nick and Josh;
It has come to my attention that the City of Phoenix Planning Department is requesting that
Petree only include 7,000 square feet of commercial space as part of Z-17-22-4’s massive
rezoning request.  This is far below what many residents of Carnation and other affected
neighborhoods have expressed that we would like to see in a "mixed use" project.
It's crucial to have a more significant commercial-retail component in the project, ranging
from 30,000-50,000 square feet, to create a truly mixed-use space that benefits the
community. This would not only provide a diverse range of amenities but also create jobs
and contribute to the local economy.  It would also help maximize the use of light rail, as
people travel into the neighborhood to shop.  These are all goals set forth by the Reinvent
Phoenix Uptown Policy Plan.
Therefore, I urge the City of Phoenix Planning Department to reconsider and work towards
a more substantial commercial-retail/mixed-use component that aligns with the needs and
desires of the community.
Sincerely,
Mike Arteca

Subject: Better Integration to Existing Neighborhood - Zoning request Z-17-22-4
Date:
Tuesday, May 23, 2023 2:52:55 PM
Dear Nick and Josh –
Thank you for including in Planning's draft stipulations
regarding Petree Properties rezoning request, Z-17-22-4, a
requirement that limits building height to 30 feet within 35
feet and 40 feet within 60 feet for the portion of the
subject site zoned WU Code T5:5, measured from 2nd
Avenue. The Carnation Association of Neighbors has been
requesting this of Petree Properties for over a year.  It is a
concern for Carnation residents that a dominating
structure will negatively affect their privacy and homes. 
We believe it will greatly impact how well the
development integrates with the surrounding single-story
homes.
However, please also consider the homes on the
southwest end of 2nd Avenue, where the Petree project is
requesting T4:3 zoning. The single-story homes across the
street deserve the same protections that Planning is
recommending for the homes across from T5:5 zoning.
We highly appreciate the thoughtful consideration given
by Planning regarding the aesthetics and scale, when
compared to all of the single-story homes located along
the west side of this proposal.
Regards,
Mike Arteca

Subject: Concerning Petree Properties Rezoning Request (Z-17-22-4)
Date:
Tuesday, May 23, 2023 2:54:38 PM
Dear Encanto Village Planning Commissioners,
I am writing to express my profound concern over Petree Properties' request to rezone 15 acres
along Central Avenue, between Glenrosa and Turney (Z-17-22-4). As a resident invested in the
betterment of our neighborhood, myself and others have engaged in extensive discussions with the
developer and their legal representative, Wendy Riddell, over the past year. Through numerous
meetings, emails, and phone calls, our intention was to reach an agreement that would foster a
development aligned with the goals of our community, particularly in accordance with the Reinvent
Phoenix Uptown TOD Policy Plan.
Regrettably, little progress has been made since Petree Properties first presented their plan to the
community following a request made by the Carnation Association of Neighbors Development
Committee, back in March 2022.  Despite our repeated appeals for the inclusion of community-
desired elements, the passing months and subsequent meetings have yielded minimal change.
We advocated for the creation of separate, smaller, and more walkable parcels, the extension of
sidewalks along Glenrosa and Turney to at least 5th Avenue, a balanced distribution of one-bedroom
and two-bedroom units (no studios) along 2nd Avenue, a reduction in the number of units per acre
along 2nd Avenue (even offing to support more along Central), and sensitivity in scale when adjacent
to single-story homes.  We lobbied hard for a much needed commercial-retail component and other
amenities that elevate intense developments livability.
To manage traffic we asked for the implementation of a left turn in, right turn out on Turney. We
implored Petree Properties to incorporate interior private streets that would contribute to the City
of Phoenix public street parking and adhere to the same rules and regulations as the surrounding
streets. This measure aimed to alleviate the additional strain the development would impose on
public street parking.  Yet again, our ideas were rejected.
Regrettably, the only affirmative responses we have received from Petree Properties have pertained
to matters mandated by code. Over the course of the past year, we have diligently collaborated with

Dear Encanto Village Planning Commissioners,
I sincerely hope you read this entire email. I have lived in the neighborhood for over 58 years.
As a resident of Carnation Neighborhood, I firmly support the sentiments stated below. One of
the greatest concerns with the Petree project is the increase of traffic through our residential
streets. Two of my neighbors and myself have walked every day for 10 years through the area
and have witnessed the increased and sometimes aggressive/speeding through our streets. One
of my neighbors was actually side swiped by a truck during one of our walks. Most of our
streets are small, as well as, having no sidewalks. I live in the Yaple Park Historic District
which is located within the Carnation boundaries and am concerned what the adverse impact
this project will have if no consideration is taken into minimizing the negative repercussions
we will continue to experience on a daily basis.
I am writing to express my profound concern over Petree Properties' request to rezone 15
acres along Central Avenue, between Glenrosa and Turney (Z-17-22-4). As a resident invested

Subject: Zoning request Z-17-22-4’s Lack of an adequate commercial-retail component
Date:
Wednesday, May 17, 2023 6:56:38 PM
Dear Nick and Josh;
I want to join my neighbors in sharing my concerns about the City of Phoenix Planning
Department's request that Petree only include 7,000 square feet of commercial space as
part of Z-17-22-4’s massive rezoning request.  This is far below what I and many  other
residents of Carnation and other affected neighborhoods have expressed that we would like
to see in a "mixed use" project.
It's crucial to have a more significant commercial-retail component in the project, ranging
from 30,000-50,000 square feet, to create a truly mixed-use space that benefits the
community. 
This would not only provide a diverse range of amenities but also create jobs and contribute
to the local economy.  It would also help maximize the use of light rail, as people travel into
the neighborhood to shop.  These are all goals set forth by the Reinvent Phoenix Uptown
Policy Plan.
True mixed-use zoning is a key part of what I love about the Carnation neighborhood. I truly
worry that a massive influx of new housing units without adequate commercial-retail space
will harm the feel of this community, pushing it toward being a place where people only live
and commute from (and I guess take the lightrail downtown to) rather than a vibrant
community. 
Therefore, I urge the City of Phoenix Planning Department to reconsider and work towards
a more substantial commercial-retail/mixed-use component that aligns with the needs and
desires of the community.

Derek Powell

Dear Nick and Josh –
Thank you for including in Planning's draft stipulations regarding Petree Properties rezoning
request, Z-17-22-4, a requirement that limits building height to 30 feet within 35 feet and 40
feet within 60 feet for the portion of the subject site zoned WU Code T5:5, measured from
2nd Avenue. The Carnation Association of Neighbors has been requesting this of Petree
Properties for over a year.  It is a concern for Carnation residents that a dominating structure
will negatively affect their privacy and homes.  We believe it will greatly impact how well the
development integrates with the surrounding single-story homes.
However, please also consider the homes on the southwest end of 2nd Avenue, where the
Petree project is requesting T4:3 zoning. The single-story homes across the street deserve the
same protections that Planning is recommending for the homes across from T5:5 zoning.
We highly appreciate the thoughtful consideration given by Planning regarding the aesthetics
and scale, when compared to all of the single-story homes located along the west side of this
proposal.
Regards,
Kathy LaVoy

Please consider the reflective heat from the additional height of the current proposed structure.
I realize this may sound minimal but every degree that is not reflected back onto our

Subject: Zoning request Z-17-22-4’s Lack of an adequate commercial-retail component
Date:
Friday, May 12, 2023 10:54:27 AM
Dear Nick and Josh;
It has come to my attention that the City of Phoenix Planning Department is requesting that
Petree only include 7,000 square feet of commercial space as part of Z-17-22-4’s massive
rezoning request.  This is far below what many residents of Carnation and other affected
neighborhoods have expressed that we would like to see in a "mixed use" project.
 
It's crucial to have a more significant commercial-retail component in the project, ranging
from 30,000-50,000 square feet, to create a truly mixed-use space that benefits the
community. This would not only provide a diverse range of amenities but also create jobs
and contribute to the local economy.  It would also help maximize the use of light rail, as
people travel into the neighborhood to shop.  These are all goals set forth by the Reinvent
Phoenix Uptown Policy Plan.
 
Therefore, I urge the City of Phoenix Planning Department to reconsider and work towards
a more substantial commercial-retail/mixed-use component that aligns with the needs and
desires of the community.
 
Sincerely,
Mike Lueken

Dear Nick and Josh;
Greetings!  As discussed in person and over the phone only 7,000 square feet of
commercial space as part of Z-17-22-4’s massive rezoning request is not nearly enough to
justify this rezoning request.  This is far below what the neighborhood has been asking of
Petree.  We have tried to work with them on this by suggesting as little as 7,000 square feet
in the past, but in conjunction with a multitude of other changes that they have not
provided.  The consensus of all the votes and surveys we have conducted in Carnation is
that we want all Central Avenue facing frontage to be commercial retail.  It will solve a lot of
problems with the intensity of this development.  The square footage needs to at least
come close to what one of the sites prior stipulations states: 50,000 square feet of
commercial retail.
Again, as various single story commercial businesses are displaced by development
– where will those business go if we are not making space for them now?
I urge the City of Phoenix Planning Department to reconsider and work towards a more
substantial commercial-retail/mixed-use component that aligns with the needs and desires
of the community.

Dear Nick and Josh;
It has come to my attention that the City of Phoenix Planning Department is requesting that
Petree only include 7,000 square feet of commercial space as part of Z-17-22-4’s massive
rezoning request.  This is far below what many residents of Carnation and other affected
neighborhoods have expressed that we would like to see in a "mixed use" project.
It's crucial to have a more significant commercial-retail component in the project, ranging
from 30,000-50,000 square feet, to create a truly mixed-use space that benefits the
community. This would not only provide a diverse range of amenities but also create jobs
and contribute to the local economy.  It would also help maximize the use of light rail, as
people travel into the neighborhood to shop.  These are all goals set forth by the Reinvent
Phoenix Uptown Policy Plan.

Lack of Commercial Space at Petree Development (Zoning request Z-17-22-4)
Date:
Tuesday, May 9, 2023 12:18:08 PM
Hi all,
I live adjacent to the Petree development on Central Ave and am quite concerned about the minimal amount of commercial
space (only 7,000 sq ft) included in the plan. The lack of “mixed use” buildings in Phoenix is astonishing compared to
other major metropolitan areas. 
We as residents of Carnation Neighborhood feel that it's crucial to have a more significant commercial-retail component in the
project, ranging from 30,000-50,000 square feet, to create a truly mixed-use space that benefits the community. This would
not only provide a diverse range of amenities but also create jobs and contribute to the local economy.  It would also help
maximize the use of light rail, as people travel into the neighborhood to shop.  These are all goals set forth by the Reinvent
Phoenix Uptown Policy Plan.
Therefore, I urge the City of Phoenix Planning Department to reconsider and work towards a more substantial commercial-
retail/mixed-use component that aligns with the needs and desires of the community.

I am a resident of the Carnation Neighborhood (Central to 7th Ave and Indian School North to
the Canal). My husband and I are very involved in the neighborhood activities and have
serious concerns, that do not seem to be addressed, with the development that Petree is
proposing for the land in our neighborhood.
We have 3 chief complaints/ issues, that we have asked to be addressed on numerous
occasions based off of a survey conducted with the neighborhood and continuous meetings
within the neighborhood. As a collective group, we are truly concerned about the value of our
homes, our safety and our overall enjoyment of our property based on what is being proposed
and what is being ignored as concerns from the neighborhood.
The 3 chief complaints are:
1) The density of the complex. They are proposing 1600 units, which this neighborhood
cannot support.
2) The abundance of traffic that will then be associated with that many units. I know that
there is an old traffic study that is being used to evaluate it, but it is completely off base and a
new one needs to be completed now that the nearby schools are back in session and covid is
over. We must also think about the deliveries of Amazon, UPS and food deliveries that will
be coming to a complex that size to top of the multiple residents in each unit.
3) The lack of usable commercial space. Things like grocery stores, restaurants or pharmacies
need to be included for the influx of people and to actually encourage people to walk and/or
use the lightrail instead of driving through the neighborhood continuously to support their
basic needs.
We live at the corner of 2nd Ave and Campbell, just North of this property. Our personal
chief concern is the traffic related to the density of the complex.
I know that it is not completely adjacent to the property, but because of the way the
neighborhood is designed, the density of the people at that property will DRASTICALLY
affect what is going on with traffic at 2nd Ave and Campbell out to the traffic light at Central.

We know this is one of 2 ways to go North on Central due to the lightrail and it is already a
disaster every day due to the neighborhood traffic that is already there. In addition, people
tend to cut through from 7th Ave to Central on Campbell that do not live in the
neighborhood.
My husband and I have been taking pictures for months now to show you and Petree what it is
like on a daily basis. I am attaching some of those photographs. This is why the
neighborhood does not believe the traffic study. It's just not realistic with what, those who
live her, experience every single day. I can't imagine what will happen if they put 1600 more
units there to go North on 2nd Avenue from the property to get out of the neighborhood.
To boot, on 2nd Ave, going North from the property, all of the residents of the Pavillions
already park along that street lining it so that two cars cannot pass at the same time without
one pulling to the side. This is also where there is an elementary bus stop with many children
and buses every day.
I am asking that they find a way for the traffic to go to Glenrosa, by the park entrance, to go
North or somehow deter the residents to go North on 2nd Ave as the streets and people here
just cannot take anymore. The realistic and best option for the neighborhood and the safety of
the residents, is to close off the neighborhood at Glenrosa and at Turney with a gate with a fire
key for emergency services. Just those 2 streets alone being closed off, would solve 90% of
the projected problem.
One last point, all along 2nd Ave and along Campbell out to Central is actually a no parking
zone from 7am-5p, but this is not a solution as you see. There is no one to enforce it, as we
know the state of the police department, and it is not the job of the police to fix our parking if
we can be proactive and smart about how this is designed. They have enough to do.
Feel free to reach out to me for any prior discussions or concerns. I also have videos if it
helps, but they do not attach as easily, please let me know if you would like to see them.
Thank you

Petree Development and Carnation Neighborhood
Date:
Friday, October 21, 2022 9:19:45 AM
Good Morning Mr. Klimek,
I am writing to you as a member of the Carnation Neighborhood Association.  I have attended
many neighborhood meetings and am active in our community.  I attend all of the Petree
meetings that I can and participate as much as possible.  I am a retired Phoenix Police Officer
and feel very strongly about preserving what we have left of the actual neighborhoods and
ownership in Central Phoenix.  I want this city to thrive and be balanced.  I appreciate the
growth we are seeing, but it is certainly not balanced.  
This neighborhood has worked hard over the years (and is continuing to work hard) to clean it
up and make it nice and liveable.  I worked this area 20 + years ago as a patrol officer and
would not have lived here then.  I appreciate the old and new residents here and what we are
trying to do.  
I walk the neighborhood everyday, as do many of my neighbors.  We have very few sidewalks
and the community is small as it is cut in half because of the canal.  We have already been
taken over by quite a few large apartment complexes that bring their fair share of issues.  I live
at the corner of 2nd Ave and Campbell and deal with management often of 1 W Campbell. 
They are not a Crime Free Multihousing property and are very hard to work with sometimes.
Because of where I live, and because I am prior LE, I have cameras ALL over =)  I catch
EVERYTHING.  Campbell is the through street because of the canal and 2nd Avenue is also
extremely busy as it is the closest way to get around off of Central.  This is a small street that
is covered with street parking 7 days a week.  2 cars can rarely fit down the street at the same
time.  There is an elementary bus stop just South of me at Roma and my corner is packed
twice daily all the way down Campbell, down 2nd Ave and North into the cul de sac.   I really
don't mind the extreme traffic every day as the students enter and exit the school because they
are mostly respectful and it is not a problem.  But it is almost impossible to get in and out of
my driveway during that time.  It is also a bit unsafe for all of the students as there is just so
much traffic.  I can't even imagine what that would look like with 1600 units of traffic
attempting to use 2nd Avenue, as it is the closest way for them to go to Campbell and a light
to turn North onto Central.   IT WOULD BE UNBEARABLE.  
I know that we have been told that it is not an option, but if they are insistent on building 1600
units, I truly believe that for our safety and wellbeing, there needs to be gates put up at 2nd
Ave and Turney and 2nd Ave and Glenrosa to force their traffic out onto Central.   They can
go North at Glenrosa at the light where Steele Indian School Park is and they can go South
from multiple locations.  
Besides the people that live there they will have visitors and it is also 2022 and beyond, which
means a ridiculous amounts of Amazon delivery, Uber Eats, etc, drivers that will be zooming
through our little neighborhood.  It is just not going to be safe for us anymore.
The second part of this is that if they are going to bring this many people into the
neighborhood, they need to provide larger and more retail space.  If we are truly going to try to

live by the Urban Walkable Code and are trying to encourage people to use the light rail and
walk, then there needs to be space to have a small grocery, market, drug store, restaurants,
etc.   Things that people can use and get the essentials they need so they are not driving
through the neighborhood and up and down Central as much.  
The proposal just doesn't make sense and as a neighborhood, we really feel that the city is not
listening to us.  We are showing up.  We are telling the city and Laura Pastor and Petree, but
feeling very ignored over money and profits.  This is our home and we are trying to make
Phoenix a beautiful place where people want to live.  We are just asking for balance adn
reasonableness.  
I am available to talk or for questions if you are so inclined.  
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Christi Decoufle

Development at Central and Glenrosa
Date:
Tuesday, October 18, 2022 6:26:23 PM
Dear Mr. Kilmer,
I reside at 312 W Montecito, one block from this development.
It will dwarf our peaceful neighborhood, so aggressive actions should be taken to mitigate the impact.
My primary concerns are parking, traffic and security.
Please insist that the developers are held to the highest standard for parking spaces, and that they must ALWAYS be
provided at no additional fee over the rent, for tenants AND their guests. I lived in a development with extra cost
parking and saw a sizeable percentage of the residents seek on street parking, overwhelming local streets and
leaving no where for local homeowners and THEIR guests. Our quiet cul de sac will be turned into a parking lot
unless you act.
Aggressive steps should be taken, at the developer’s expense, to push all traffic to Central Avenue. The new
apartments at Central and Indian School will already be impacting our streets and given that 3rd Ave is a bikeway
the last thing we need is biking made more dangerous by excessive traffic from this development.
The city should require the developer to provide security staff and insist on review, approval and monitoring of their
safety and security practices. We do not want this area to turn into a Frat house by excessive and frequent loud
parties. Please do not allow “party Central on Central”
Ideally, expanded home ownership opportunities would be preferred but that unfortunately does not seem possible
for either our neighborhood or Phoenix residents.
Thank you for your consideration

PeeTree development - carnation neighborhood
Date:
Monday, October 17, 2022 8:28:59 PM
Hello Nick,
I am writing to express my deepest concern over the peetree development in the carnation neighborhood. I have
lived in this lovely community for eight years and many people in the community have become my friends. I live at
215 W. Campbell Ave. and we are a main fair through in the community.  You can get to central and/or seventh
Avenue off of my street with the lights at both ends.  When my children were little I would not let them ride their
bikes on Campbell as people don’t pay enough attention to the stop sign and the speed limit. It is very dangerous at
the current time. We have three high schools that bring traffic into our neighborhood throughout the day.  Currently,
at times, throughout the day I struggle to pull out of my driveway.  What will it be like with a 1600 unit complex
traffic???  It’s already unsafe and I am truly concerned about safety and usability. This is a community that you will
be negatively impacting, not making it better. What kind of city do we live in. Are we all for sale??  We need to
consider the community and the people that Iive there and how it’s going to impact them?
I want to enjoy living in this amazing city and community.  Please help keep us safe and our community a
community.
Thanks,
Kim Jennings

Z-17-22 Central and Glenrosa Development Proposal
Date:
Thursday, May 19, 2022 5:17:02 PM
Greetings –
I recently moved to Carnation from Washington, DC, and I am excited about much of the
development occurring in the area. However, I have several concerns with Z-17-22 along Central Ave
& Glenrosa that I would like to share with you. If the developer can address these items, then I
believe this project will be an asset to the neighborhood:
The density, particularly along 2nd Avenue, is completely unacceptable, and drastically higher
than anything between Indian School Road and Camelback. I agree with the Uptown TOD plan
that development fronting Central Avenue should be tall and dense, but as you move back to
single-family, single-story homes, height, and density must be drastically reduced; otherwise it
dominates the neighborhood and threatens the character. It would be best to keep anything
along 2nd Avenue zoned R1-6. 
I understand that TOD zoning already has reductions in parking requirements built in, yet the
developer is requesting an additional 25% on top of that. This would negatively impact the
quality of life for people in Carnation. I know from living in Washington, DC for 25 years that
most people do not give up their cars even in cities with the most advanced public
transportation systems.
The pedestrian permeability of the four large parcels do not contribute to a fluid walkable
community. The way WU code reads, development should contain smaller blocks with many
ways to travel between spaces cohesively.
There is a housing shortage in Phoenix that is not driven by rental, but by lack of homes that
can be purchased.  This lack of ownership opportunity is what drives up rental prices.  At least
20% of this development should include homes that will be sold as a way to contribute to
solving the real housing crisis.
 
Please consider these points as you study this proposal, and let me know if there is anyone else I
should pass this along to.  I’m excited to be living in Phoenix, and hopeful this project can be altered
to be an asset!
 
Regards,
Cliff Valenti
