CONNECT PEOPLE AND PLACES CORE VALUE; OPPORTUNITY SITES; LAND 
USE PRINCIPLE: Support reasonable levels of increased intensity, respectful of 
local conditions and surrounding neighborhoods. 
 
The proposal will allow for office, fabrication, and other employment-generating land 
uses in a location that is appropriate due to its proximity to two arterial streets, and its 
proximity to the Loop 202 Freeway.  
 
Connect people and places core value; complete streets; design principle: In 
order to balance a more sustainable transportation system, development should 
be designed to include increased amenities for transit, pedestrian and bicyclists 
such as shade, water, seating, bus shelters, wider sidewalks, bike racks, 
pedestrian scale lighting and way-finding.   
 
Located at the junction of two arterial streets, the proposal, as stipulated, will provide 
elements for transit, pedestrians, and bicyclists in order to promote walking and 
alternative transportation. These elements include shaded detached sidewalks along 
public streets and bicycle parking located on site.  
 
BUILD THE SUSTAINABLE DESERT CITY CORE VALUE; TREES AND SHADE; 
DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Integrate trees and shade into the design of new 
development and redevelopment projects throughout Phoenix.   
 
The proposal, as stipulated, will be required to provide shade along the adjacent public 
sidewalks and amenity areas. This will help to encourage walking and to mitigate the 
urban heat island effect by covering hard surfaces, thus cooling the micro-climate 
around the project vicinity.

SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING  
2.  
The properties to the north, across Broadway Road, are zoned R-2 (Multifamily 
Residence District) and C-2 (Intermediate Commercial) and consits of single-family 
residential development and vacant land. To the east, across 51st Avenue, is 
vacant land zoned A-1 (Light Industrial District) and A-1 SP (Light Industrial 
District, Special Permit). The mining property to the west and south of the subject 
site is within the Maricopa County jurisdiction and is zoned RU-43 (One-Family 
Residence).   
GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION 
3. 
The General Plan Land Use Map designation for the subject site is Residential 10 
to 15 dwelling units per acre. North of the subject site, across Broadway Road, is 
designated Commercial and Residential 5 to 10 dwelling units per acre. West, 
south, and east of the subject site is designated Residential 10 to 15 dwelling units 
per acre. Further south of the site is designated Parks/Open Space – Publicly 
Owned.  
A concurrent minor General Plan Land Use Map amendment case,  
GPA-EST-1-23-7, proposes to change the land use map designation to Mixed Use 
(Industrial / Commerce/Business Park). The requested CP/GCP and A-1 zoning is 
consistent with the proposed General Plan Land Use Map designation.

PROPOSAL 
4. 
Site Plan 
The conceptual site plan, attached as an exhibit, proposes an approximate 57,000-
square foot, two-story office building on the northeast portion of the subject site.

Staff Report: Z-13-23-7 
May 15, 2023 
Page 7 of 18 
 
 
The south portion of the subject site will have an approximate 76,800-square foot 
shop building where fabrication and vehicle maintenance is proposed. 
Furthermore, the northwest portion of the site will be utilized for truck parking. 
In order for the proposed development to remain compatible with the surrounding 
zoning to the north and south, staff is recommending Stipulation No. 2 which would 
require conformance to the proposed building locations and sizes as shown on the 
site plan. If any changes are proposed, any new addition would be required to go 
through the PHO process. This would allow staff to ensure that additions or 
modifications are compatible with the surrounding land uses and zoning.  
Two access points are located along both 51st Avenue and Broadway Road. 
Employee and customer parking on the site is located on the northeast portion of 
the site along the street frontages. Staff is not recommending a stipulation 
requiring general conformance to the conceptual site plan as the site may not meet 
open storage setback standards.  
The conceptual site plan shows several landscaped portions on the site. Staff 
recommends Stipulation No. 5 to ensure a 30-foot landscape setback along the 
north and east perimeters of the site. Stipulation No. 6 incorporates enhanced 
landscaping along Broadway Road and 51st Avenue. The proposed stipulations 
will ensure shading and enhance the street frontages.   
Staff also recommends an employee resting or recreation area with pedestrian 
seating benches and shade. The recommended employee resting area would 
provide employees with a place outdoors during their workday. This is addressed 
in Stipulation No. 10.  
Elevations 
The conceptual office building elevations depict architectural features that include 
variation in colors, building articulation, and emphasizes on the building facades. 
The proposal elevations also include four-sided architecture and durable materials. 
Staff is recommending general conformance to the office building elevations per 
Stipulation No. 1.

AREA PLANS, OVERLAY DISTRICTS, AND INITIATIVES 
5.  
Estrella Village Plan 
 
The Estrella Village Plan adopted in 1999, outlines a vision for developing the 
Estrella Village through five main goals that include: 
1. Orderly growth; 
2. Identifiable village core; 
3. Strong residential neighborhoods; 
4. Variety of homes and jobs; and 
5. Consistent streetscapes and trail linkages.

Staff Report: Z-13-23-7

Estrella Land Use Map  
Source: Planning and Development Department  
Goal 1, “Growth”, recommends industrial development to utilize commerce park 
development standards. The proposal consists of CP/GPC zoning to the north and 
A-1 to the south. The proposed CP/GCP zoning will act as a buffer between the 
residential uses to the north and the industrial uses on the south portion of the site 
and in the County to the south. The proposal will also include enhanced street 
frontages and enhanced building elevations facing the public street. This is 
addressed in Stipulation No. 1, 3, 5 and 6. Lastly, Stipulation Nos. 12 and 17 
includes provisions for a detached sidewalk along 51st Avenue and Broadway 
Road with enhanced landscaping between the back of the curb and sidewalk.  
Goal 5, “Urban Design”, Objective D, “Street Appearance” recommends industrial 
properties along major streets and adjoining residential neighborhoods to be well 
landscaped and open storage and activity screened from view. Several stipulations 
as recommended by staff and would promote enhanced urban design along the 
streetscapes. Lastly, Stipulation Nos. 5 and 6 recommend enhanced landscaping 
along 51st Avenue and Broadway Road to promote a positive character of the 
village.  
 
6. 
Estrella Village Arterial Street Landscaping Program 
The Estrella Village Arterial Street Landscaping Program adopted in 1999, 
provides a landscape palette for arterial streets within the Estrella Village to help 
establish the community’s character. In addition to providing planning guidelines,

Staff Report: Z-13-23-7 
May 15, 2023 
Page 10 of 18 
 
 
the plan also indicates the locations to establish entry gateways that welcome 
individuals entering the village with an entry sign and an enhanced landscape area 
of 75 feet by 75 feet in size.  
The subject site is adjacent to Broadway Road, an arterial street, and 51st Avenue, 
a major arterial. Thus, staff recommends Stipulation No. 3 to require adherence 
with the Estrella Village Arterial Street Landscaping Program requirements along 
the street frontage to promote the community’s character.  
 
7. 
Complete Streets Guidelines 
In 2014, the City of Phoenix City Council adopted the Complete Streets Guiding 
Principles. The principles are intended to promote improvements that provide an 
accessible, safe, connected transportation system to include all modes, such as 
bicycles, pedestrians, transit, and vehicles. To provide a safe pedestrian 
environment staff is recommending enhanced pavement treatment for the on-site 
pedestrian walkways that cross vehicular drive aisles. This is addressed in 
Stipulation No. 9. This development will help pedestrianize the immediate street 
frontage by providing a detached sidewalk along 51st Avenue, Broadway Road 
and a shared use path along the small portion of the subject site along the north 
side of Broadway Road. In addition, a multi-use trail is required along 51st Avenue 
to further pedestrianize the street. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 4, 12, 17 
and 18. Furthermore, bicycle parking will be required on the site encourage 
alternative transportation. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 11. In addition, any 
street improvements must be completed to City of Phoenix and ADA standards. 
These are addressed in Stipulations No. 20.  
 
8. 
Comprehensive Bicycle Master Pan 
The City of Phoenix adopted the Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan in 2014 to 
guide the development of its Bikeway System and supportive infrastructure. The 
Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan supports options for both short- and long-term 
bicycle parking as a means of promoting bicyclist traffic to a variety of destinations. 
As stipulated, the project will provide bicycle parking spaces, installed per the 
requirements in the city’s Walkable Urban (WU) Code. This is addressed in 
Stipulation No. 11. 
 
9. 
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

Staff Report: Z-13-23-7 
May 15, 2023 
Page 11 of 18 
 
 
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. 14.  
 
10. 
Phoenix Climate Action Plan 
In October 2021, the Phoenix City Council approved the Climate Action Plan. The 
Climate Action Plan will serve as a long-term plan to achieve greenhouse gas 
emissions reductions and resiliency goals from local operations and community 
activities as well as prepare for the impacts of climate change. This plan contains 
policy and initiatives regarding stationary energy, transportation, waste 
management, air quality, local food systems, heat, and water. Goal W2 (Water), 
Action W2.4, pertains to the implementation of the Greater Phoenix Green 
Infrastructure (GI) and Low Impact Development Details for Alternative Stormwater 
Management to benefit the environment, promote water conservation, reduce 
urban heat, improve the public health, and create additional green spaces. This 
goal is addressed in Stipulation No. 15, which requires a minimum of two GI 
techniques for stormwater management to be implemented in this development. 
 
11. 
Tree and Shade Master Plan 
The Tree and Shade Master Plan encourages treating the urban forest as 
infrastructure to ensure the trees are an integral part of the City’s planning and 
development process. Sidewalks on the street frontages should be detached from 
the curbs to allow trees to be planted on both sides of the sidewalk to provide 
thermal comfort for pedestrians and to reduce the urban heat island effect. Staff is 
recommending stipulations designed to provide trees and enhance shade within 
the development.  
Staff is recommending the following stipulations for parking lot and sidewalk 
shading:  
• The landscape setback along 51st Avenue and Broadway Road shall 
contain 50 percent two-inch caliper trees and 50 percent three-inch caliper 
trees (Stipulation No. 6).  
• Uncovered surface parking lot areas shall be landscaped with minimum two-
inch caliper drought-tolerant shade trees to achieve a minimum of 25 
percent shade (Stipulation No. 8). 
12. 
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

Staff Report: Z-13-23-7 
May 15, 2023 
Page 12 of 18 
 
 
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. 7 will require the planting of milkweed shrubs, or other 
native nectar plant species on the subject site. 
13. 
Zero Waste PHX 
The City of Phoenix is committed to its waste diversion efforts and has set a goal 
to become a zero-waste city, as part of the City’s overall 2050 Environmental 
Sustainability Goals. One of the ways Phoenix can achieve this is to improve and 
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. 
 
COMMUNITY CORRESPONDENCE  
14. 
At the time this staff report was written, no correspondence from the public had 
been received. 
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 
15. 
Fire Department 
The Fire Department indicated there are no problems anticipated with the case and 
that the site and/or buildings shall comply with the International Fire Code with 
Phoenix Amendments. Further, the Department commented that they do not know 
the water supply at this site and noted that fire flow requirements may present a 
challenge for this site. 
16. 
Street Transportation Department 
The Street Transportation Department has indicated that the developer will be 
required to re-dedicate the existing right-of-way along Broadway Road and 
construct and landscape a 14-foot-wide median island on Broadway Road from 
51st Avenue to 53rd Avenue. A detached sidewalk shall be constructed along 
Broadway Road and the developer shall maintain the existing detached sidewalk 
along 51st Avenue. Furthermore, a shared use path will be constructed along a 
small segment on the north side of Broadway Road, the streetscape along 51st 
Avenue is to be replenished with a water drip system, and all street improvements 
shall be constructed with all required elements and meet ADA standards. These 
are addressed in Stipulation No. 12, 13, 16 through 20. 
17.  Flood Management 
The Floodplain Management Division of the Public Works Department commented 
that this project is in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) called Zone A, on panel 
2705M of the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) revised June 26, 2020. The 
applicant is required to submit a Grading and Drainage Plan to the Floodplain

Findings 
 
1. 
The proposal will develop a vacant property and as stipulated, will be compatible 
with the surrounding land uses.  
2. 
The stipulated landscape and building elevation standards are above the required 
minimum Zoning Ordinance standards and will make the proposal a compatible 
addition to the neighboring area. 
3. 
As stipulated, the proposed development will promote the vision of various policy 
plans including the Tree and Shade Master Plan, Estrella Village Area Plan and 
Estrella Village Arterial Street Landscaping Program. 
 
 
Management section of Public Works Department. An Elevation Certificate (FEMA 
Form 086-0-33) and a FEMA approved CLOMR-F or CLOMR must be received 
and approved by Floodplain Management prior to issuance of a Grading & 
Drainage permit. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 21.  
OTHER 
18. 
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 Stipulations No. 22 through 24.  
19. 
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. 25. 
20. 
Development and use of the site is 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.
