Location: 
Southwest corner of 16th Street and Colter Street 
Zoning:  
C-O, PUD 
Acreage:  
3.48 
Request: 
1) Request to review and approve proposed modifications to 
a conceptual site plan (building footprint and south 
building setback) that do not meet the criteria for 
administrative review per Section 671.E.3.b. 
Applicant: 
Trinsic Residential Group 
Owner: 
 
Willowick Square Owner, LLC 
Representative: Benjamin Tate, Withey Morris Baugh PLC 
 
ACTIONS: 
 
Planning Hearing Officer Recommendation: The Planning Hearing Officer 
recommended approval with modifications and additional stipulations. 
 
Village Planning Committee (VPC) Recommendation: The Camelback East 
Village Planning Committee chose not to hear this case. 
 
DISCUSSION: 
 
Ben Tate, representative with Withey Morris Baugh PLC, gave an overview of the 
site, its history, and the proposed project. He provided an overview of the 
proposed use and stated the purpose of the request was to remove the 
redundant drive aisle and to expand the building footprint, effectively reducing the 
existing building setbacks. He stated that the proposal would reduce the overall 
height of the project from 5 stories to 4 stories and would increase the courtyard 
open space within the development. He explained that Planned Unit 
Developments (PUD) are allowed to be amended administratively after creation 
except when certain thresholds are passed. He stated that proposed changes to 
the building setback and building footprint were both large enough to trigger the 
requirement for the proposed amendments to be publicly heard at the Planning 
Hearing Officer hearing. He presented the current building footprint and the 
proposed building footprint showing the expansion of the building footprint and 
the increased interior courtyard space.

Application PHO-1-23—Z-9-20-6 
Page 2 
 
 
 
Byron Easton, Planning Hearing Officer, stated that the PUD narrative included 
uses such as ground-floor retail and other commercial uses and asked how that 
would be addressed by the proposal. Mr. Tate stated that the applicant 
previously met with staff and it was determined that the table of uses did not 
require mixed uses, but rather permitted as primary uses all the permitted uses 
listed. Mr. Easton asked if pedestrian-oriented features such as stoops were to 
be included. Mr. Tate said yes. Mr. Easton stated that the proposal was not 
making any dramatic changes that would be altering the intent of the design of 
the building. The residential units would still face outwards and have a walk-up 
design. He stated that the proposal is consistent with the scale and intensity of 
the original approved plans for the PUD. He stated that he would recommend 
approval of the proposal with a modification to Stipulation 1 to require the 
applicant to create an updated PUD narrative and deleting the current text of 
Stipulation 1.a to replace with new language requiring the site plan to be 
updated. 
 
Mr. Easton stated that the Street Transportation Department recommended an 
additional stipulation requiring a 10-foot sidewalk easement along 16th Street. 
Mr. Tate asked if the stipulation could be changed to allow the Planning and 
Development Department to modify the requirement if necessary. Mr. Easton 
stated that he would modify the stipulation as suggested. Mr. Easton noted that a 
recorded Proposition 207 Waiver had not been received and recommended an 
additional stipulation requiring it before preliminary site plan approval. 
 
FINDINGS: 
 
1) The applicant’s request is to modify the conceptual site plan in the 
Willowick PUD Development Narrative.  Section 671.E.3.b of the Zoning 
Ordinance states that the Planning Hearing Officer may approve 
modifications to conceptual site plans that do not meet the criteria for 
Planning and Development Department administrative review.  Section 
671.E.3.a establishes the criteria for administrative review, which includes 
Section 671.E.3.a.(6) regarding modifications that result in an “an increase 
in building footprint less than five percent.”  Because the applicant’s 
proposed conceptual site plan represents a greater than five percent 
increase above that shown on the conceptual site plan in the Development 
Narrative, Planning Hearing Officer approval of the request is required. 
 
2) The Willowick PUD was approved by the Phoenix City Council on March 
3, 2021.  The PUD established development standards, design guidelines, 
permitted land uses, and other related standards associated with the 
proposed development of a mixed-use project consisting primarily of 
multifamily residential uses with some ground floor commercial land uses.  
The conceptual site and landscape plans in the approved Development

Planning Hearing Officer Summary of May 17, 2023 
Application PHO-1-23—Z-9-20-6 
Page 3 
 
 
Narrative depicted a 237-unit multi-level, mixed-use complex and  4,600 
square feet of commercial space fronting 16th Street. The proposed 
building consisted of approximately 180,000 square feet of mixed use, 
including residential, clubhouse and retail.  The building constituted 
approximately 61.35% lot coverage based on the net site area of 
approximately 3.45 acres.  The development standard for maximum lot 
coverage in the approved Development Narrative is a maximum 75% net 
lot area.   
 
3) The proposed conceptual site plan depicts a perimeter orientated building 
located around the outer boundaries of the site.  This courtyard style 
building has garage parking interior to the site. The square footage of the 
proposed building is 201,873 square feet and the Development Narrative 
notes that the use will now be entirely multifamily residential.   The site 
plan is consistent with the existing development standards in the 
Development Narrative and does not necessitate a major amendment per 
Section 671.E.1 of the Zoning Ordinance.  The proposed conceptual site 
plan is consistent in scale and intensity with the original approved plans.   
 
4) Approval of the proposed modification to the conceptual site plan is 
recommended.  Consistent with this recommendation, modification of 
Stipulation 1 is recommended to require the applicant to submit an 
updated Development Narrative which replaces the conceptual site plan.  
This recommendation also includes the deletion of existing Stipulation 1.a.   
This stipulation is unnecessary.   Through the requirements of Stipulation 
1, a new development narrative will be submitted and the new submittal 
date will be included. 
 
5) The Street Transportation Department recommends an additional 
stipulation requiring a 10-foot sidewalk easement on 16th Street.  The 
Street Classification map designates 16th Street with the “Arterial D” 
classification requiring a 50-foot half-street.  The revised conceptual site 
plan should conform to the General Plan Street Classification Map.   The 
stipulation is recommended to be included. The stipulation was modified to 
read, “as approved or modified by the Planning and Development 
Department due to the fact that the applicant was unaware of the added 
stipulation and was unclear if the easement could include the landscape 
setback. 
 
6) The applicant did not submit a Proposition 207 waiver of claims prior to 
the Planning Hearing Officer hearing. Submittal of this form is an 
application requirement.  An additional stipulation is recommended to 
require the applicant to record this form and deliver it to the City to be 
included in the rezoning application file for record.

Applicant: 
Andrew Biskind, TBBG Acquisitions LLC 
Owner: 
 
BENT Design and Development LLC, et al. 
Representative: Benjamin Tate, Withey Morris PLC 
 
ACTIONS: 
 
Planning Hearing Officer Recommendation:  The Planning Hearing Officer 
recommended approval with modifications and additional stipulations. 
 
Village Planning Committee (VPC) Recommendation:  The South Mountain 
Village Planning Committee was scheduled to hear this case on May 9, 2023 but 
did not have a quorum. 
 
DISCUSSION: 
 
Ben Tate, representative with Withey Morris Baugh PLC, gave an overview of the 
site and its zoning history. He stated that the property was part of a larger project 
that was originally planned to be a hospital but developed as other uses over 
time. He stated that the subject property has remained vacant throughout its 
history and that the proposal would make it financially viable to develop the site. 
He stated that the proposal was at the rate, scale, and intensity of change that is 
envisioned for the area in the South-Central TOD Plan. He stated that the 
requested changes focused on the relevant, previously approved PHO cases and

Planning Hearing Officer Summary of May 17, 2023 
Application PHO-3-23—Z-182-87-8 
Page 2 
 
 
the amendment of language to enable the change to the previously approved site 
plan and landscape plan in the PUD narrative. 
 
Tamala Daniels, community member, stated that in the past, members of the 
South Mountain Village Planning Committee and other community members 
vocalized the need for a medical center such as an urgent care or hospital on the 
site. She referred to a prior situation where the fire department rescued some 
people from South Mountain Park but had no medical facilities in the area to take 
them to. She also stated concern about what the final product would look like, as 
Mr. Tate had stated that the renderings in the presentation were for illustrative 
purposes only and not to reflect what the site would look like. 
 
Mr. Tate stated that the property was zoned for a medical center use for a long 
time and was never developed. He stated that the housing deficit in Phoenix is a 
growing concern, and that the proposal would help increase the housing supply. 
He stated that the primary features of the rendering would be reflected in the 
development, but some of the more minor features are subject to change. 
 
Ms. Daniels asked for clarification regarding the renderings, stating that she had 
previously seen renderings that accurately depict paint color, materials, and 
textures. Mr. Tate responded that although the renderings were conceptual in 
nature, the landscape plan was much more detailed and would be what the 
applicant is stipulated to. 
 
Byron Easton, Planning Hearing Officer, stated that staff did not receive public 
correspondence prior to the hearing. He stated that there was no quorum at the 
South Mountain Village Planning Committee meeting, and therefore no 
recommendation from the VPC. He stated that the proposed conceptual site plan 
was consistent with the scale and intensity of the original zoning case and 
subsequent PHO cases. He modified the request for Stipulation 2 from PHO-1-93 
to require general conformance to the site plan, landscape plan, and elevations 
as approved or modified by the Planning and Development Department. He 
recommended a modification to the request for Stipulation 2 from PHO-2-06 to 
require general conformance to the site plan, landscape plan, and elevations as 
approved or modified by Planning and Development. He recommended a new 
stipulation to require that a 30-foot wide multi-use trail easement be dedicated 
along the east side of Central Avenue and a 10-foot wide multi-use trail be 
constructed in the easement. Mr. Easton noted that a recorded Proposition 207 
Waiver had not been received and recommended an additional stipulation 
requiring it before preliminary site plan approval. He explained that the approval 
letter for this hearing would incorporate the two prior PHO cases and their 
stipulations with the modifications made today.

Application PHO-3-23—Z-182-87-8

FINDINGS: 
 
1) The subject property of this request includes approximately 3.82 gross 
acres.  Following the original rezoning case (Z-182-87), PHO-1-93--Z-182-
87 modified stipulations for the entire subject property of the original 
rezoning case.  These stipulations apply to the eastern portion of the 
subject property.  PHO-2-06—Z-182-87 modified stipulations for the 
western portion of the site, and additional property north of Olympic Drive.  
These stipulations apply to the western portion of the site.  Therefore, the 
applicant’s request includes modifications to the approval letters for both 
PHO-1-93--Z-182-87 and PHO-2-06—Z-182-87.  The following PHO 
recommendation coordinates the recommended modifications, deletions, 
and additional stipulations in both letters so that the result is the same in 
both cases and can be represented by a single approval letter under Case 
No. PHO-3-23—Z-182-87. 
 
2) The request to modify Stipulation 2 (PHO-1-93--Z-182-87 and PHO-2-
06—Z-182-87) regarding general conformance is recommended to be 
approved with a modification to provide standard conformance language.  
The stipulated site plan in PHO-1-93--Z-182-87 consisted of a DMV 
facility, a proposed court site and a proposed expansion of the YMCA on 
the north side of Olympic Drive. The stipulated site plan in PHO-2-06—Z-
182-87 depicted a medical office building to house an ear, nose, and 
throat clinic on the westernmost portion of the site.  The remaining 
property on this site plan did not depict any proposed development and 
remains vacant.  The proposed conceptual site plan in the current request 
depicts a 55-unit modern two-story garden style apartment community. 
The proposal is compatible in scale and intensity with existing and 
planned development in the surrounding area. In addition to modifying 
Stipulation 2 regarding general conformance to the site plan submitted 
with this application, the PHO has also added general conformance to the 
landscape plan and elevations as well.  The site plan, landscape plan and 
elevations are all date stamped March 2, 2023.  The reason for the 
addition of the landscape plan and elevations is in response to Ms. 
Daniels’ concerns that the high quality landscaping and elevations shown 
at the hearing would not be submitted during the site plan review. 
 
3) The City’s trails map identifies a proposed, privately maintained 30-foot 
wide multi-use trail easement (MUTE) along the east side of Central 
Avenue to contain a 10-foot wide multi-use trail (MUT) within the 
easement, as indicated in Section 429 of the City of Phoenix MAG 
Supplement.  A stipulation is recommended to require the easement and 
trail.
