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 development, as proposed, will create new housing opportunities in the area and 
within close proximity to a light rail station, the educational facilities, and the North 
Central Avenue Employment Center, especially via the Grand Canal Multiuse Trail.
CONNECT PEOPLE AND PLACES CORE VALUE; COMPLETE STREETS; 
DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Locate parking to the rear of a site to create a more 
pedestrian environment, when adequate shielding from noise and light can be 
provided to adjacent established neighborhoods. On-street parking in some 
areas may also promote a pedestrian environment.
The development, as required by provisions of the Walkable Urban Code, will situate 
buildings to frame the street environment with vehicle parking lots situated at the 
interior of the site and to allow for the creation of a comfortable pedestrian 
environment along the public streets. Further, the development, as stipulated, will
screen parking from the Grand Canal and its multiuse trail.
BUILD THE SUSTAINABLE DESERT CITY CORE VALUE; TREE AND SHADE; 
DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Integrate trees and shade into the design of new 
development and redevelopment projects throughout Phoenix.
The development, as stipulated, will create an attractive streetscape with detached 
and shaded sidewalks. The shade incorporated into the development along its
frontages will reduce the urban heat island effect and increase thermal comfort which
will make the area more walkable, bikeable, and sustainable. 
CONNECT PEOPLE AND PLACES CORE VALUE; BICYCLES; DESIGN 
PRINCIPLE: Development should include convenient bicycle parking.
The development, as stipulated, includes bicycle parking and bicycle facilities as a 
central component of the project to facilitate bicycling as a way of life. Features 
include secure bicycle parking for residents, convenient racks for guests, and a 
bicycle repair station situated as a public amenity; together, these features will 
complement the Grand Canal and its multiuse trail.

CONNECT PEOPLE AND PLACES CORE VALUE; CANALS AND TRAILS; 
LAND USE PRINCIPLES: Plan, design, and develop pedestrian linkages 
between parks, open spaces, village cores, neighborhood shopping centers, 
neighborhood schools, and neighboring municipalities.
The subject site is immediately adjacent to the Grand Canal which recently was
improved through the Canalscape Project and provides regional connectivity, direct 
connections to Phoenix Central High School, the Phoenix Coding Academy, Xavier
&ROOHJH3UHSDUDWRU\, Brophy &ROOHJH3UHSDUDWRU\, Steele Indian School Park, and 
access to Central Avenue and the rail. The development, as stipulated, will add
vitality to this section of the Grand Canal and its multiuse trail as a community asset.

Background/Issues/Analysis
SUBJECT SITE
1.
This request is to rezone 3.29 acres at the southeast corner of 3rd Avenue and
Coolidge Street from R-3 (Multifamily Residence District) and R-5 (Multifamily
Residence District) to WU Code T5:5 UT (Walkable Urban Code Transect 5:5,
Uptown Character Area).
SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING
2.
The proposed zoning of WU Code T5:5 UT (Walkable Urban Code Transect 5:5,
Uptown Character Area) permits a maximum height of 56 feet. The site is
currently developed with an office building. The Zoning Context Map depicts the
zoning entitlements of the subject site and the surrounding area.

East: Immediately east of 
the subject site is a 
multifamily complex which 
is zoned R-5 (Multifamily 
Residence District). The 
zoning permits a maximum 
height of 48 feet but the 
existing buildings do not 
exceed three stories in 
height.
West: West of the subject 
site across 3rd Avenue are

-family detached character. The R-3 (Multifamily Residence District) zoning
permits a maximum height of 30 feet by right, and up to 48 feet with increased
setbacks.
North: North of the subject site across Coolidge Street are various residential
structures ranging from a single-family detached character to small apartment 
complex, with neither type exceeding two stories. The approximate west half of 
sites immediately north of the subject site are zoned R-3 (Multifamily Residence 
District) which permits a maximum height of 30 feet by right, and up to 48 feet 
with increased setbacks, and the remaining sites to the east are zoned R-5
(Multifamily Residence District) which permits a maximum height of 48 feet.
South (the Grand Canal): South of the subject site is the Grand Canal which 
was recently improved through the Canalscape project which brought lighting,
landscaping, and seating improvements to this section of the canal.
South (beyond the Grand Canal): South of the subject site across the Grand 
Canal is a multifamily community zoned R-4 (Multifamily Residence District) 
which permits a maximum height of 48 feet.
3.
Located along Central Avenue and several properties east of the subject site is
the Interim Transit-Oriented Zoning Overlay District One (TOD-1). The primary
purpose of TOD-1 was to encourage an appropriate mixture and density of
activity around transit stations to increase ridership along the light rail corridor
and promote alternative modes of transportation to the automobile while the
Walkable Urban Code was developed.

5.
The Encanto Village Character Plan was approved and adopted in the Phoenix
General Plan through General Plan Amendment GPA-1-19. Each of the 15
Urban Villages have a Character Plan.
The proposed project advances the following items identified in the Encanto 
Village Character Plan: encourage growth along the light rail; integrating canals
into project design; and new development being consistent with adopted plans.
One such area of alignment is with the North Central Employment Center 
(profile attached) which identifies the presence of approximately 770,000 young, 
well-educated, workers within a 10 to 20 minute drive and projected growth of 
170,000 new residents within a 30 minute drive. The proposed development will
provide housing opportunities for the growing population in proximity to the 
growing employment center while also reducing the need for long vehicle 
commutes.

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 in terms of 
appropriate scale and 
intensity 
 
As depicted on the right, the 
subject site is located within 
one-quarter mile from two 
light rail stations. The nearest 
station, Central and 
Campbell, is identified in the 
Strategic Policy Framework 
as a Minor Urban Center 
Place Type. 
Title: Transit Oriented Development Strategic Policy 
Framework Place Type Map 
 
Source: Planning and Development Department 
 
 
 
 
The Minor Urban Center Place Type is characterized by two to five story 
buildings with allowances for up to seven when incentive criteria are met or 
when a special circumstance exists. The proposed development, using the 
Walkable Urban Code and depicting a height of four stories, is consistent with 
the Minor Urban Center Place Type. 
 
 
 
7. 
Uptown Transit Oriented Development Policy Plan:  
The subject site is located within the Uptown TOD Planning Area which is 
depicted on the following page. The policy plan adopted 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.

While the subject site is 
not mapped for a specific 
recommended transect for 
redevelopment, the 
Uptown TOD District Plan 
provides the following 
direction relevant to the 
subject site: 
 
Activating the Grand 
Canalscape:  
The Uptown TOD Plan 
describes at length the 
importance and 
opportunity of embracing 
the Grand Canal as an 
open space amenity, as a 
regional active 
transportation trail, and as

waterfront. While the Canalscape Project is complete, it is the projects adjacent 
to the Grand Canal that will enliven the waterfront. 
 
 
 
Increase the Population Using Alternative Transportation: .  
The Uptown TOD Plan includes several measurable outcomes focused on 
increasing ridership on the light rail, increasing the number of individuals riding 
bikes or walking to work, and decreasing the number of Vehicle Miles Traveled 
(VMT). The proposed project will position new households within walking and 
bicycling distance to jobs, schools, and major park facilities. 
 
PROPOSAL 
8. 
Site Plan 
As depicted on the conceptual site plans and elevations on the following pages, 
the proposal is for four floors of housing with five levels of parking located at the 
interior of the site. The site plan depicts one point of vehicular access from 
Coolidge Street. The site plan depicts 218 dwelling units with 46 studios, 116 
one-bedroom, and 56 two-bedroom units. At a rate of 1.3 parking spaces per 
studio and 1.5 spaces per one and two bedroom units, the code would require 
318 parking spaces but due to the proximity to light rail, a 10 percent reduction 
is applied for a total of 287 spaces.

The ground floor units fronting 3rd Avenue and Coolidge Street will employ 
stoop and doorwell frontages and the main leasing area oriented to Coolidge 
Street will employ a storefront frontage; these ground level treatments abide by 
the intent of the Walkable Urban Code to active the street frontage in addition to  
detached sidewalks and trees planted between the curb and sidewalk as 
required by the Walkable Urban Code.  
 
The conceptual site plan depicts frontage types along the southern face of the

building mass to activate the interface with the canal. Staff is recommending 
Stipulation No. 1 to require the frontage types along 40 percent of the canal 
oriented building frontage.  
 
 
9. 
Canal Interface 
The conceptual site plan and building elevations depict measures intended to 
embrace and activate the frontage to the Grand Canal including amenity areas, 
common areas, bike racks, a bicycle repair station, vegetation, and a perimeter 
wall comprised mostly of view fence for ground level transparency. The Phoenix 
Zoning Ordinance governs canal interface through the design standards 
contained in Section 507 Tab A. 
 
To advance the intent of the design guidelines and the Walkable Urban Code, 
staff is recommending a series of stipulations to provide additional specificity 
regarding improvements to the area between the southern mass of the building 
and the Grand Canal right-of-way including the following:  
 
x Stipulation No. 1: To require Walkable Urban Code Frontage Types along 
a minimum 50 percent of the canal-facing building façade. 
x Stipulation No. 2: To require architectural enhancements along the canal-
facing building façade. 
x Stipulation No. 3: To require large canopy shade trees to soften the canal 
environment and provide thermal comfort in the amenity areas and near 
the canal. 
o Due to the presence of an SRP easement at this location, the 
extent to which the developer will be allowed to improve this are is 
unknown and, therefore, the stipulation contains the language “as 
approved or modified by the Planning and Development 
Department.  
x Stipulation No. 4: To require shaded open space adjacent to the canal 
right-of-way through the application of Section 1310.A.2 of the Phoenix 
Zoning Ordinance. 
o Due to the presence of an SRP easement at this location, the 
extent to which the developer will be allowed to improve this are is 
unknown and, therefore, the stipulation contains the language “as 
approved or modified by the Planning and Development 
Department.  
x Stipulation No. 5: To require all walls and fences within 30 feet and 
oriented-to the canal right-of-way to have a maximum opaque height of 
36 inches to promote interface between the project and the canal 
amenity.

STUDIES AND POLICIES 
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.  
 
The Walkable Urban Code contains landscape standards to provide enhanced 
tree plantings with a focus on thermal comfort and the conceptual site plan 
complies with code requirements. 
 
To require tree shade be integrated into the project between the southern 
building mass and the Grand Canal right-of-way, staff is recommending 
Stipulation No. 3 requiring large canopy shade trees, placed 20 feet on center or 
in equivalent groupings, and with a minimum caliper of 3-inches at installation; 
the purpose of this stipulation is to promote thermal comfort for the amenity 
areas and along the Grand Canal.  
 
 
 
12. 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. The Walkable Urban Code contains 
requirements for detached sidewalks with vegetative shade which will enhance 
the thermal comfort and sense of security for pedestrians passing on adjacent 
sidewalks.  
 
Staff is recommending Stipulation No. 8 to require enhanced bicycle facilities on 
the site including secure bicycle parking for residents, bicycle racks for guests, 
and a publicly accessible bicycle repair station near the southern edge of the 
site; the purpose of these stipulations is to complement 3rd Avenue which is 
identified as the Phoenix Sonoran Bikeway and the Grand Canal multiuse trail 
which provides regional trail connectivity.   
 
 
 
13. Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan:  
The Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan is a guide for creating a culture and 
environment conducive to bicycling as a viable mode of transportation. The 
proximity to high capacity transit underscores the importance of walking and 
bicycling in this area.

Staff Report: Z-56-20-4 
January 20, 2021 
Page 14 of 19 
 
 
 
 
Recognizing the presence of the Grand Canal, the recently completed 
Canalscape investments, the presence of the Phoenix Sonoran Bikeway, and 
proximity to high capacity transit, staff is recommending Stipulation No. 8 which 
requires secure bicycle parking for residents, bicycle parking for guests, and a 
publicly accessible bicycle repair station. 
 
 
 
14. 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 to a variety housing types that will 
address the supply shortage at a more rapid pace while using vacant or 
underutilized land in a more sustainable fashion. 
 
 
 
15. 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 CORRESONDENCE 
16. As of the writing of this report, one letter of opposition was received detailing 
concerns relating to scale, privacy, traffic, the abundance of multifamily, and the 
design compatibility with the historic district. 
 
 
 
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 
17. The Fire Department commented that the site plan must comply with the 
Phoenix Fire Code and further indicated there are no problems anticipated with 
the case. Further, the Department commented that they do not know the water 
supply at this site and noted that additional water supply may be required to 
meet the required fire flow per the Phoenix Fire Code.

Staff Report: Z-56-20-4 
January 20, 2021

18. The Public Works Department, Floodplain Management Division determined the 
site is in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) called Zone A, on panel 1740 L of 
the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) dated October 16, 2013. The Public 
Works Department provided Stipulation No. 10 to require the applicant follow 
and document all necessary processes and improvements.  
 
 
19. The Street Transportation Department provided Stipulation Nos. 6, 7, and 9 to 
require traffic calming at vehicular driveways, two pedestrian connections to the 
Grand Canal trail, and their standard stipulation regarding the applicant being 
responsible for construction of adjacent streets, respectively. 
 
The Street Transportation Department including the Pedestrian Safety 
Coordinator further commented on the importance of enhanced pedestrian and 
bicycle facilities including detached sidewalks, bicycle parking, a bicycle repair 
station, and connections to the Grand Canal trail. These issues are addressed 
in other stipulations or will be addressed through the application of the Walkable 
Urban Code.  
 
 
20. The Public Transit Department commented on the need for a robust system of 
shaded pedestrian pathways with measures to delineate pedestrian crossings at 
drive-aisles. These issues are addressed in other stipulations or will be 
addressed through the application of the Walkable Urban Code.  
 
 
OTHER 
21. The site has not been identified as being archaeologically sensitive. However, in 
the event archaeological materials are encountered during construction, all 
ground disturbing activities must cease within 33-feet 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 No. 13. 
 
 
 
22. Based on the proximity to Sky Harbor Airport, the Aviation Department is 
requiring Stipulation Nos. 11 and 12 which require recorded documents to 
disclose the existence of Sky Harbor Airport to future owners and residents, and 
that an avigation easement be recorded.  
 
 
 
23. 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.

Re: Z-56-20 (3rd Avenue and Coolidge)

One Additional concern. 
The large grassy area on the corner of 3rd and Coolidge has been used for years by the
neighborhood as a makeshift park. Families have used this area for recreation with their
children and pets. It provides for a grassy green area, in an otherwise paved jungle. You will
be taking this away from all residents, and instead of providing more greenery, will be adding
more concrete.

Here are my concerns for this project:
1. 56ft building height allowed by T5:5
2. 10 ft setback from current sidewalk, this in combination of the height will
basically provide for an entire block of apartments from the canal to Coolidge
looking directly over my fence and into my yard and house. 
3. Noise, this is an extremely quiet section and adding an additional 218 housing
units will greatly increase the noise factor of the neighborhood. 
4. Traffic. Hazelwood turns into 3rd ave and as a result, there is a very low traffic
density. Even with the the garage entry on Coolidge, traffic is going to greatly
increase on these streets and most likely all street parking with cease to exist. 
5. Saturation. There are already 5 or 6 (possibly even more) high density
apartment complexes in this immediate area. Adding yet another complex will
adversely and disproportionately affect this neighborhood vs other
neighborhoods. 
6. Historic district. This complex is almost surrounded on the 3rd ave and
Coolidge street sections by the Pierson Place Historic district. Constructing this
large complex when surrounded by a historic district diminishes the intention of
having a historic district. The proposed elevations are quoted as “blending in” yet
it looks like every other apartment complex built. 
This project adversely affects my property disproportionately as I am on the
corner of 3rd and Hazelwood and this apartment complex will be towering over
my house, and on the entire east side of my property I will now stare at 56ft of
apartment building.

Good morning, Adam –
 
I apologize but I believe I failed to answer one of your primary questions,
expressed via Maura, regarding whether the property is currently
approved for development. The answer is both yes and no… please allow
me to explain.
 
The property is currently zoned R-5 which generally means they could
build to a height of 48 feet.
 
However, the applicant has elected to pursue additional zoning
entitlement under the Walkable Urban Code. The process will take 4-6
months and include 3 public hearings and a neighborhood meeting.
During this process, the site plan may change and evolve in response to
community concerns and priorities. I recommend putting your concerns in
writing and sending them over to me. I also suggest reaching out to the
applicant’s representative, Ben Tate, to express yours concerns early on.
 
In the coming weeks, I will be reviewing the proposal in greater detail.
 
Kind regards,
 
Nick

Subject: Re: Z-56-20 (3rd Avenue and Coolidge)
 
Thanks for the response. So I am in the house directly across from this and
will be affected greatly as most of my exposure is to the east where the
current donor network building is. This picture is what I see from most of
my house.  I estimate that these trees are approximately 30ft tall and
from what I have seen, it looks like the building will be 56ft tall. Also,
correct me if I am wrong, but the building will only be setback 10 ft from
the current sidewalk?
 
If this is the case, how can I expect any modicum of privacy? Not to
mention, that all I will be able to see from my windows will now be
building. 
 
How does a project this large get approved so close to a historic
residential neighborhood? It destroys any point in trying to preserve the
original feel of the neighborhood. 
 
I am greatly distressed by this news and also would like to know if there is
an estimated time when construction will begin. 
 
Thanks,
Adam
