The site is located within the Capitol Extension Transit Oriented Development (TOD) area and within half-mile of the planned light rail station at 7th Avenue and Washington Street / Jefferson Street. The proposed multifamily development is appropriate at this location given the site’s proximity to high-capacity transit, the downtown area, and location within a TOD area. CREATE AN EVEN MORE VIBRANT DOWNTOWN CORE VALUE; SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS; DESIGN PRINCIPLES: Encourage new development to maintain the existing streetscape patterns to preserve the character of the area; Encourage the development of height transition and design standards that support new development while enhancing the integrity and livability of established neighborhoods. The subject site directly abuts Downtown Code zoning and consists of the majority of a block immediately west of downtown. The establishment of the Walkable Urban (WU) Code on the site will allow for new housing adjacent to downtown with design standards and a transition in height that enhance the integrity and livability of the neighborhood. 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. As stipulated, the proposed development will provide shaded detached sidewalks on all three street frontages, which will reduce the urban heat island effect while also improving thermal comfort to site users and the surrounding neighborhood.

This request is to rezone a 3.24-acre site located at the southeast corner of 9th Avenue and Fillmore Street from C-3 CMOD (General Commercial, Capitol Mall Overlay District), P-1 (Passenger Automobile Parking, Limited), and R-5 RI (Multifamily Residence District, Residential Infill District) to WU Code T5:5 (Walkable Urban Code, Transect 5:5) and WU Code T5:5 CMOD (Walkable Urban Code, Transect 5:5, Capitol Mall Overlay District) to allow multifamily residential use. The subject site is located directly west of downtown and developed with the Mercy Hill Church and accessory surface parking. GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP DESIGNATIONS 2. The subject site and properties to the north and south are designated as Commercial on the General Plan Land Use Map. West of the subject site, across 9th Avenue, is designated as Residential 10 to 15 dwelling units per acre. Abutting the subject site to the east is designated as Mixed Use. The proposed zoning district, WU Code T5:5, allows multifamily residential uses, as well as a range of commercial uses. Therefore, the proposal is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map designation of Commercial.

Transit Oriented Development Strategic Policy Framework The Transit Oriented Development Strategic Policy Framework is part of the city’s General Plan which identified planning typologies to describe urban environments. The subject site is within half-mile of the planned light rail station at 7th Avenue and Washington Street / Jefferson Street. The identified environment for the station is Medium Urban Center. Medium Urban Center is a place type characterized by medium intensity with building heights typically from three to six stories with incentive heights of up to 10 stories. Land uses may include destination retail and entertainment, mid-rise living, and low- rise office employment. The proposed four-story residential development is consistent with the Medium Urban Center placetype, given the distance from the station and the neighborhood context. TOD Strategic Policy Framework Placetypes, Source: Planning and Development Department EXISTING CONDITIONS AND SURROUNDING ZONING 4. The subject site is currently developed with the Mercy Hill Church, which contains several buildings, and accessory surface parking with a mix of zoning, including C-3, R-5 RI, and P-1. The surrounding area contains a mix of uses, including warehouses and multifamily residential within a C-3 district to the south, residential uses within R-5 RI zoning to the west and north, and commercial retail within the Downtown Code to the east. Zoning Aerial Map, Source: Planning and Development Department PROPOSAL 5. The proposed T5:5 District is described as a medium-high-intensity mixed-use fabric characterized by a broad mix of buildings that integrate retail, offices, live- work, and residential units. As shown on the conceptual site plan attached as an exhibit, the proposal is to redevelop the property into a new four-story multifamily Staff Report: Z-61-22-7 December 30, 2022 Page 7 of 12 residential building with a total of 122 dwelling units. The development will be designed with frontages near the streets to create a pedestrian-friendly environment with surface parking located in the rear of the site. Vehicular access will be through driveways on Fillmore Street and Taylor Street. In order to guarantee access to the sidewalk for residents, Stipulation No. 2 requires the building to provide a minimum of one common entry for each street frontage. 6. Section 1304.C of the Zoning Ordinance requires that all sides of a building exhibit design continuity and multiple exterior accent materials. The provided conceptual elevations attached as an exhibit show multiple exterior accent colors, materials, and design continuity throughout all sides of the building. Additionally, the conceptual building elevations demonstrate retention of architectural features of the existing church on the subject site, including a ground floor brick arcade with arches along Fillmore Street and several tower features. Therefore, staff recommends Stipulation No. 1 to require inclusion of these features in the new development, creating an enhanced design with an architectural connection to the past. AREA PLANS, OVERLAY DISTRICTS, AND INITIATIVES 7. Capitol Mall Overlay District The southern portion of the subject site is within the Capitol Mall Overlay District. The Capitol Mall Overlay District acknowledges the varied uses of the area including governmental offices, industrial and commercial businesses, and historic residences. The purpose of this district is to prevent a concentration of certain uses which can restrict businesses and residences from functioning normally and contributes to the deterioration of the business and living environment, the downgrading of property values, and the diminishment of health, safety and general welfare conditions in the area.

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 a 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. 9. Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan 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. Per Section 1307.H of the Zoning Ordinance and as stipulated, the development will provide bicycle parking for residents and guests, in addition to providing a bicycle repair station, encouraging the use of biking as an alternative mode of transportation. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 3. 10. Complete Streets Guiding Principles 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 proposal includes shaded, detached sidewalks which will increase the thermal comfort for those walking to and from nearby transit and those patronizing local businesses, as addressed in Stipulation Nos. 4 and 5. The proposal also includes bicycle parking and a repair station, as required in Stipulation No. 3. 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 requires detached sidewalks along street frontages and a 75 percent minimum shade requirement for public sidewalks and internal pedestrian pathways. The proposal will maintain the existing detached sidewalks along 9th Avenue and Taylor Street, replenishing the landscaping behind the back of curb, and a new detached sidewalk along Fillmore Street. These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 4 and 5. Staff Report: Z-61-22-7 December 30, 2022 Page 9 of 12 12. 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 development will incorporate recycling containers within the community. COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY 13. At the time this staff report was written, staff has received two letters in opposition to this request. Concerns include a desire for preservation of the existing structure and negative impacts of the proposed development on the historic character of the surrounding area. INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 14. The Street Transportation Department commented that the developer shall maintain and replenish the existing landscape area within the right-of-way along 9th Avenue and Taylor Street, that the developer shall construct a detached sidewalk along Fillmore Street, that the developer shall submit a traffic impact analysis, and that the developer shall construct all required street improvements within and adjacent to the development, including complying with ADA standards. These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 4 through 7. 15. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department has noted the property has existing water and sewer mains that can potentially serve the proposed development, however water capacity is a dynamic condition that can change over time due to a variety of factors. 16. The Public Transit Department commented that the development should provide direct access to the sidewalk through common entries to ensure pedestrian- oriented access for residents of the building. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 2. 17.

Thank you, GGG I sent the attached to Councilwoman Ansari and the planners for the MercyHill Church, and have been asked by the Grand Avenue group to send it to you and the members of the Central City Planning Committee. Would greatly appreciate it if you will ensure that the members of Central City Village Planning Committee receive it prior to the meeting where they will consider the subject of MercyHill Church. I am a member of Encanto Village Planning Committee, so understand the responsibility they face in making a decision on this property. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. G.G. George 1 Phoenix Historic Neighborhoods Coalition HISTORIC FRANKLIN SCHOOL October 27, 2022 Via Email RE: MercyHill Church property Dear Councilwoman Ansari, Grand Avenue and its environs have always been part of the idea that created Phoenix. The most cohesive part of its’ history is the portion from Five Points (Van Buren/7th Avenue/and Grand) to Six Points (McDowell/19th Avenue/and Grand). Prior to Grand being paved in 1888, it was called Lower Fort McDowell-Wickenburg Wagon Road. As I noted in my book, “The Arizona State Fair”, the neighborhood known today as the F.Q. Story Historic District was mapped in 1867- 68, and bounded on the west by the Lower Fort McDowell-Wickenburg Wagon Road. By 1889, the Grand Avenue streetcar line extended to Six Points. The Story Historic District is adjacent to Fairview Place Historic District and Encanto- Palmcroft Historic District, both of which are adjacent to the Del Norte Place Historic District. Grand Avenue is also adjacent to Roosevelt, Oakland and Woodland Historic Districts. Anything that disturbs the historic setting of Grand Avenue has repercussions, like earthquake aftershocks, to affect the adjacent historic districts. All of these elements are part of the undivided whole of Phoenix history. The MercyHill Church was designed by Lescher & Mahoney as part of Phoenix’s post World War ll history in 1946. The façade is remarkably similar to the pre-war Clubhouse at Encanto Park designed by the same firm. As I wrote in another book, “Phoenix’s Greater Encanto-Palmcroft Neighborhood”, beneath a picture of the Encanto Park 2 Clubhouse, “Completed in 1937 by the architectural firm of Lescher & Mahoney, it has a Spanish tile roof and an arched arcade.” MercyHill Church has these same features. Encanto Park has been listed by Forbes Magazine as one of the 10 best parks in the U.S. The Phoenix Historic Neighborhoods Coalition (PHNC) is composed of people who live throughout the historic neighborhoods within the city. We come together because we value the history of Phoenix, and we seek to share our love of our city’s historic neighborhoods to preserve not only the buildings, but also help stabilize and build strong communities. We are concerned about the damaging impact of this proposed project on the existing neighborhoods and the larger Grand Avenue community. While the MercyHill Church may not be technically historical, it is certainly historically significant due to the original church design by Lescher & Mahoney. The Coalition is requesting that the church façade, the sanctuary, and the arched arcade be incorporated into the forthcoming development. These features could be blended into a signature design that could become a selling point for the redevelopment, and tie this development into the earlier history of Phoenix. We also request from the developer an agreement with the Grand Avenue Arts & Preservation (GAP), Grand Avenue Members Association (GAMA), and the Coalition stipulating these conditions prior to any demolition. Thank you for your time and attention to this information. G.G. George, President Encanto Citizens Association & Phoenix Historic Neighborhoods Coalition 1102 W. Palm Lane 602-252-3151
