Background / Issues / Analysis 
 
1. 
SUBJECT SITE 
 
This request is to rezone a 20.72-acre site, located approximately 825 feet south of the 
southwest corner of 23rd Avenue and Pinnacle Peak Road from RE-43 (One-Family 
Residence) to R-3 (Multifamily Residence District) to allow multifamily residential and 
commercial. 
  
The subject site was annexed into the City of Phoenix from Maricopa County in 1972. At 
the time of annexation, the area was comprised of raw, undeveloped desert. The area 
was slow to develop. Around 2002 industrial and commerce park uses started 
developing in the area and by 2019 most of the area had developed as is seen today 
with commercial office, a hotel, commerce park and industrial uses. Residential uses

are present to the north of the subject site, across Pinnacle Peak Road. The site is 
comprised of one large vacant lot and has never been developed.  
 
Access to the site is limited with the only access from 23rd Avenue. The Black Canyon 
Freeway frontage road is located west of the site, but access is not feasible due to a 
large drainage basin abutting the site to the west.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
2. 
ZONING AND LAND USE 
 
Subject Site:  
The subject site is zoned RE-43 
(One-Family Residence) and is 
undeveloped on 20.72 acres.  
 
North: 
The parcels abutting the subject 
site on the north are zoned A-1, 
approved through Rezoning Case 
No. Z-86-87. The parcel to the 
northwest developed as 
commercial office in 2007. The 
parcel abutting to the north is 
currently vacant. 
 
South: 
The west portion of the land to the 
south and west of the subject site is 
zoned A-1 (Light Industrial District), 
approved through Rezoning Case No. Z-6-16  
and is currently vacant. The east portion of the land to the south of the subject site is

zoned IND. PK., vacant adjacent to 23rd Avenue approved through Rezoning Case No. 
Z-218-85 and developed as commercial office suites in 2007.  
 
East: 
The parcels to the east of the site, across 23rd Avenue, are zoned A-1, approved 
through Rezoning Case No. Z-195-81 and developed with a warehouse in 2016 and a 
commercial office to the south of the warehouse site in 2009.  
West:   
Immediately west of the subject site is the Black Canyon Freeway and its frontage 
roads. Beyond the Black Canyon Freeway (approximately 600 feet) is a vacant lot 
zoned C-1, approved through Annexation No. 102.  
 
 
3. 
GENERAL PLAN 
 
Subject Site: 
The property’s current Industrial General Plan Land Use Map designation only supports 
industrial land uses on the site. A companion General Plan Amendment request (GPA-
DV-1-21-1) proposes a Mixed Use land use designation of Commercial / Commerce 
Park/Business Park / Residential 5-10 dwelling units per acre / Residential 15+ dwelling 
units per acre. This Mixed Use designation will allow commercial, commerce park and 
residential land uses the flexibility to locate on any portion of the site and the four 
parcels to the north, south of Pinnacle Peak Road.

North: 
The General Plan 
Land Use  
Map designation for 
the properties  
to the north are 
Industrial and are part 
of the companion GPA 
request, GPA-DV-1-
21-1. Further north, 
across Pinnacle peak 
Road, the General 
Plan Land Use 
designation is 
Residential 5 to 10 
dwelling units per 
acre.   
 
East:  
The General Plan 
Land Use Map 
designation for the 
properties to the east, 
across 23rd Avenue, 
are Industrial. 
  
South: 
The General Plan 
Land Use Map 
designation for the properties to the south are Industrial.  
 
West (Across Black Canyon Freeway).  
The General Plan Land Use Map designation for the areas immediately west of the site 
across the Black Canyon Freeway is Commerce/Business Park and Parks/Open Space-
Public.  
 
 
4. 
SITE PLAN 
 
The conceptual site plan depicts a single-family residential townhome development with 
attached and detached units. The site plan indicates a single main point of entry from 
23rd Avenue and a secondary ingress/egress for emergency services located on the 
northeast corner of the site also along 23rd Avenue. The main point of entry along 23rd 
Avenue will include enhanced landscaping as recommended in Stipulation No. 4.

Staff Report: Z-3-21-1 
April 6, 2021

Due to its location immediately adjacent to the Black Canyon Freeway, staff is 
recommending a series of stipulations to enhance the perimeter treatment of the site to 
mitigate any potential impact from the freeway. 
 
To achieve consistency with other developments in the surrounding area staff is 
requesting several enhancements.  Enhanced separation between the subject site and 
the Black Canyon Freeway frontage road will help to mitigate traffic noise. A noise 
mitigation wall and enhanced landscaping is recommended along the western property 
boundary. These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 5 and 23.  
 
The proposal for 297 units limits the number of dwellings allowed under the R-3 zoning 
district, which is consistent with other developments in the area. To ensure the site 
develops with no more than 297 units staff is recommending Stipulation No. 2.  
 
The conceptual site plan includes three centrally located open space areas containing a 
minimum of one amenity in each area. Amenities in the open space areas will help to 
create a sense of community. A dog park and perimeter pedestrian pathway are also 
proposed on the conceptual site plan. Staff is recommending Stipulation Nos. 6 and 7 to 
ensure the site develops as proposed. 
 
For visual continuity with the surrounding developments in the area staff recommends 
design standards for the perimeter walls as previously stipulated in the area. This is 
addressed in Stipulation No. 10. The conceptual site plan is attached below.  
 
 
5. 
ELEVATIONS 
 
 
 
The proposal includes conceptual elevations that illustrate variations in roofline, window 
shapes and sizes, architectural embellishments and textural changes.  
The building height is capped at two stories and 30 feet. To ensure the elevations 
include architectural details and the proposed building height, staff is recommending 
Stipulation Nos. 1 and 3.

6. 
DEER VALLEY MAJOR EMPLOYMENT CENTER 
 
The subject site is located within the 
Deer Valley Major Employment 
Center. The proposal adds housing 
options within the employment center.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
7. 
Housing Phoenix Plan 
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 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 to a variety housing types that will address the 
supply shortage at a more rapid pace while using vacant land in a more sustainable 
fashion. 
 
 
8. 
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.

Department

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 several stipulations 
designed to provide trees and enhance shade within and adjacent to the development. 
Staff is recommending stipulations for a shaded sidewalk along 23rd Avenue, in addition 
to enhanced tree and landscape areas and planting standards along the proposed 
pedestrian pathway circling the site, in and around the parking areas and along the west 
property line. These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 5, 7, 11 and 12. 
 
 
9. 
Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan 
 
The Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan also supports options for both short-and long-
term bicycle parking as a means of promoting bicyclist traffic to a variety of destinations. 
The proposal requires bicycle parking spaces be provided on the site. Bicycle racks 
shall consist of an inverted-U or other decorative design and installed per the 
requirements of Section 1307. H. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 13.  
 
 
10. 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 proposed 
conceptual site plan does not show recycling facilities. 
COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY 
 
11. At the time the staff report was written three letters of support had been received.   
 
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 
 
12. 
The Street Transportation Department commented that the developer shall 
construct all roadway infrastructure to code standards, submit a signing and 
striping plan to include an extension of the bike lane, and process a Red 
Border letter with ADOT. These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 14, 15, 16 
and 17. 
 
 
13. 
The Pedestrian Safety Coordinator, from the Traffic Services Division of the 
Street Transportation Department, has required that pedestrian pathways that 
cross drive isles be constructed with decorative pavers, stamped or colored 
concrete or another material that contrasts with the drive isle and parking 
surfaces. Additionally, they have required that clearly defined accessible 
pedestrian pathways be provided to connect building entrances, public

sidewalks and bus stops. These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 8 and 9. 
 
 
14. 
The Aviation Department commented the site is located within the Phoenix 
Deer Valley Airport (DVT) traffic pattern airspace. The developer must file FAA 
Form 7460, record an avigation easement over the site, record documents that 
disclose the existence and operational characteristics of the airport to future 
owners or tenants, install signage within the developments sales/leasing office 
regarding the airport and overflights, and ensure indoor noise levels do not 
exceed a decibel day night-level of 45 decibels. These are addressed in 
Stipulation Nos. 18 through 22. 
 
 
15. 
The Floodplain Management Division of the Public Works Department 
commented It has been determined that this parcel is not in a Special Flood 
Hazard Area (SFHA).  
 
 
16. 
The City of Phoenix Fire Department does not anticipate any problems with this 
case. However, they noted that there appears to be decorative pavers on the 
emergency service access road on the west side. All emergency service 
access roads will need to meet the specifications in Section 503.2 (2018 PFC). 
They also noted that the site and/or buildings shall comply with the Phoenix 
Fire Code and requested additional detail be provided on future site plan 
submittals. 
 
 
17. 
The Water Services Department indicated that the site is surrounded with 
existing water and sewer mains that can potentially serve the development. 
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. These are addressed in 
Stipulation Nos. 24, 25 and 26. 
 
 
19. 
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

Staff Report: Z-3-21-1

Re: Request for comments around of Mack Real Estate Development Project 
at 22635 N. Black Canyon Hwy, Phoenix, AZ 85027  
 
To Whom It May Concern:  
 
As a stakeholder in the Deer Valley Village of Phoenix, we would like to advise 
the City of Phoenix that we support the changes proposed by Mack Real Estate 
Development associated with their residential development plans to be located 
along the west side of N 23rd Ave and South of Pinnacle Peak Road.  
 
Mack Real Estate Development has provided a project overview to us as they 
prepare to file their entitlement applications for the project. We sincerely 
appreciate their efforts to include us in their dialogue.  
 
Our understanding is that the project will consist rental dwellings and change the 
land around our building from industrial to a mixed-use zoning. Based on this 
understanding, we support the following requested entitlements and do not object 
to the City approving the zoning and project requests: 
 
• 
General Plan Amendment 
• 
Re-Zone 
• 
Site Plan Review 
 
Sincerely, 
 
 
 
Kent S. Moe 
Sr. Vice President, Development
