Background/Issues/Analysis 
SUBJECT SITE 
1.
This request is to rezone a 0.47-acre
site located approximately 400 feet
north of the northeast corner of 12th
Street and Roberts Road from S-1
(Ranch or Farm Residence) to R1-8
(Single-Family Residence District) for
single-family residential. The site is
currently occupied by one single-
family home and is adjacent to
existing single-family homes to the
north, south, east, and west.

GENERAL PLAN AND LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION 
2.
The General Plan Land Use Map
designation for this site is Residential
3.5 to 5 dwelling units per acre. The
proposal is consistent with the
General Plan Land Use Map
designation. The General Plan Land
Use designations to the north, south,
east, and west are Residential 3.5 to
5 dwelling units per acre.
SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING 
3.
The request for R1-8 (Single-Family Residence District) is consistent and
compatible with the surrounding residential land uses. The surrounding zoning
districts are S-1 (Ranch or Farm Residence) to the north and south and R1-10
(Single-Family Residence District) to the east and west. Most of the properties in
the area have been developed as single-family residential.
PROPOSAL 
4.
Site Plan
The applicant proposes to develop two new single-family detached homes
contingent upon approval of a lot split. The proposal is for two lots, with lot widths
of approximately 62 feet and lot depths of approximately of 137 feet. The
minimum lot width for the Subdivision Development Option is not met, therefore
either a variance would need to be obtained or the site would need to be platted
as a two-lot subdivision under the Conventional Subdivision Option. The
proposed lots would be able to meet all the development standards applicable to
the Conventional Subdivision Option.
5.
Elevations
The conceptual building elevations depict one-story, detached single-family
homes with private garages, variations in textures and facades, and four-sided
architecture. Staff recommends a stipulation requiring a minimum front setback
above the minimum R1-8 standard in order to be more compatible with
residential lots in the immediate area.
STUDIES AND POLICIES 
6.
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 a vision of creating a stronger and more vibrant Phoenix through increased

Staff Report: Z-15-23-3 
May 4, 2023 
Page 5 of 7 
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, according to the Housing Phoenix Plan. Current 
shortages of housing supply relative to demand are a primary reason why 
housing costs are increasing. The proposed development supports the Plan’s 
goal of preserving or creating 50,000 housing units by 2030 by contributing to a 
variety of housing types that will address the supply shortage at a more rapid 
pace while using vacant land in a more sustainable fashion. 
7.
Zero Waste Phoenix
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. The City of Phoenix
offers recycling services for single-family residential properties.
8.
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. This is addressed in Stipulations No.
2 and 3.
COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY 
9.
As of the writing of this report, staff had not received any community
correspondence regarding the proposal.
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 
10.
The Street Transportation Department commented that the developer shall
dedicate 30 feet of right-of-way for the east side of 12th Street and that all street
improvements be made to City and ADA standards. These comments are
addressed in Stipulations Nos. 2 and 3.
11.
The Water Services Department commented that the property has existing water
and sewer mains that can potentially serve the development. In addition, the
Water Services Department commented capacity is a dynamic condition that can
change over time due to several factors.
12.
The Fire Department commented that the development will need to comply with
Phoenix Fire Code, including requirements to water supply for fire flow.
