CHAPTER 4 – BUILDING DESIGN
Section 4-404 Building Height Step-Back.
When a district other than single-family is immediately adjacent or separated by an 
alley to a single-family or multi-family residential district OR USE, (except when such 
single-family or multi-family districts are used for a public park) building facades are 
required to step-back, one (1) additional foot setback for each one (1) foot additional 
building height over thirty (30) feet. Step-back requirements begin at a height of 
thirty (30) feet, FROM THE ZONING DISTRICT SETBACK. WHERE A STEP-BACK 
IS REQUIRED, A PLANNED AREA DEVELOPMENT OR OTHER DISTRICTS 
WITH ZERO (0) FOOT SETBACKS, SHALL HAVE A MINIMUM FIVE (5) FOOT 
SIDE OR TEN (10) FOOT REAR SETBACK FOR THE PURPOSES OF BUILDING 
HEIGHT. The building facades shall step-back as generally illustrated in Figure 4-
404, below:     
Figure 4-404. Building Height Step-Back
PART 4 – DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS

Page 19 of 38
CHAPTER 6- PARKING
SECTION 4-603 - PARKING RATIOS
The number of required off-street vehicle and bicycle parking spaces shall be 
calculated for each use as follows:
A. On-Site Parking Spaces. The minimum parking ratios in Table 4-603E, 
below, are applied to each use on the site. Statements like "+ office" are intended 
to remind the applicant to identify and include all independent uses. Parking 
calculations shall be provided for every separate main or primary use on the site, 
as identified in the site and floor plans submitted for City approval.
B. Accessible Parking Spaces (Americans with Disabilities Act - ADA). The 
minimum number of accessible parking spaces shall conform to ADA 
requirements. Refer to Federal ADA code.
C. Maximum Parking Spaces. Except for the RCC zoning district and all MU 
districts, the number of parking spaces provided by any development in surface 
parking lots shall not exceed one hundred twenty-five (125) percent of the 
minimum required spaces in Table 4-603E, except as follows:
1. Parking within the building footprint of a structure (e.g., rooftop parking, 
below-grade parking, multi-level parking structure);
2. When a change in use causes a lower parking requirement;
3. Parking spaces managed for shared parking;
4. A uUse pPermit is required to provide more surface parking than the 
maximum standard and additional landscape is required per Section 4-
704(A); and
5. Phased projects do not need to comply, until the final phase is constructed., 
AND;
6. FOR LOTS THAT PROVIDE NO MORE THAN 20 PARKING SPACES. 
D. Parking Calculations. If the Zoning Administrator determines that an activity 
could function independent of the main use for the space, lot or building, then it 
must be included in the required parking calculation and must provide parking of 
its own. A separate parking calculation is not required for accessory 
uses. Parking calculations shall follow the requirements below:
1. When multiple uses are proposed, the fractional parking requirement for 
each use is added together prior to rounding, per Section 1-209;
2. Net floor area shall be used for square footage calculations, except where 
otherwise indicated;
3. The following standards apply to specified and unspecified tenant spaces in 
industrial buildings:
a. Specified Tenant(s):

Page 20 of 38
i. Where tenants are specified and listed by name of 
company, parking is calculated according to the uses identified in 
the floor plan.
b. Unspecified Tenant(s):
i. This provision is specifically used for distribution and 
industrial buildings WITHOUT SPECIFIED TENANTS larger than 
one hundred thousand (100,000) FORTY THOUSAND (40,000) 
square feet. The building shall be divided into equal tenant spaces 
with no tenant space containing more than forty thousand (40,000) 
square feet. After dividing the individual tenant spaces into twenty 
percent (20%) office use and eighty percent (80%) warehouse use, 
the parking standard is one (1) space per five hundred (500) square 
feet for the first ten thousand (10,000) square feet of 
the warehouse use, and one (1) space per five thousand (5,000) 
square feet for the remaining warehouse area. The office portion 
shall be calculated at one (1) space per three hundred (300) square 
feet of office floor.
ii. This provision is specifically used 
for office buildings, warehouse buildings, or 
combination office/warehouse buildings that do not exceed forty 
thousand (40,000) square feet. Parking is calculated with twenty 
percent (20%) office and eighty percent (80%) warehouse. 
The warehouse standard is one (1) space per five hundred (500) 
square feet for the first ten thousand (10,000) square feet and one 
(1) space per five thousand (5,000) square feet for the 
remaining warehouse area. The office shall be calculated at one (1) 
space per three hundred (300) square feet. No minimum floor area 
is specified in this scenario.
4. Bicycle Parking. The bicycle parking ratios are indicated in the columns 
listed in Table 4-603E when required. Bicycle parking ratios in the "Bicycle 
Commute Area" apply to properties north of Southern Avenue extending 
north, east and west to the City limit lines.
E. Parking Ratio Table. Table 4-603E provides minimum off-street parking 
requirements for uses allowed by this Code. Requirements for uses not 
specifically listed shall be determined by the Zoning Administrator using the 
similar use ruling procedure in Section 6-301. Parking ratios for uses in all MU 
zoning districts shall be established through the PAD Overlay process. Parking 
ratios for uses located in the CC, City Center District, shall comply with the 
standards established in Table 4-607A, Downtown Parking Standards.

CHAPTER 6 – PARKING 
Section 4-604 – SHARED PARKING
Parking requirements for two (2) or more uses may be satisfied with shared parking. 
Shared parking may be approved only when the subject uses have inherent 
differences in parking activity patterns, the combined parking requirement will not 
exceed the available parking supply, and the right of joint use of a parking facility is 
evidenced by a contract establishing joint use. Shared parking shall be subject to AN 
ADMINISTRATIVE APPLICATION FOR review and approval by the Community 
Development Director, or designee, under Section 6-311, and shall conform to the 
following standards:
A. Location. Parking shall be provided on the same or a contiguous lot. Parking 
may be provided off-site with professional analysis that the proximity of the 
parking is acceptable.

Page 26 of 38
In cases where parking for a project is to be provided on more than one (1) lot, 
a parking association shall be formed by the owners of the affected parcels 
prior to issuance of a building permit. Documentation of the association shall 
be provided to the Community Development Director, or designee, prior to 
issuance of the building permit.
B . Shared Parking Model. The Shared Parking Model (see Appendix F) shall be 
used WITHOUT ALTERATION as a basis for predicting the parking required 
for a particular mix of uses on a site, except where the Community 
Development Director, or designee, has approved the use of a customized 
parking model REPORT SIGNED BY A REGISTERED PROFESSIONAL.
C. Shared Parking Report. The applicant's calculation of shared parking 
requirements shall be based on a professional parking analysis and 
management plan that is submitted with the development plan and/or land use 
proposal.
D. Implementation. AFTER CITY APPROVAL OF THE MODEL OR REPORT, 
THE OWNER SHALL RECORD THE APPROVAL LETTER AND PARKING 
MODEL WITH MARICOPA COUNTY RECORDER'S OFFICE AND PROVIDE 
THE 
RECORDED 
DOCUMENT 
WITH 
RECORDING 
NUMBER 
TO 
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. The owner or manager of a project approved 
under the parking demand alternative, once built, shall maintain an accurate 
up-to-date record of the usage of the net floor area for the project, both 
occupied and vacant, according to type of use. The Community Development 
Director, or designee, may require this record be provided when the owner 
applies for a new land use or development approval for the subject parcel.         
Section 4-605 - OFF-SITE PARKING AFFIDAVIT.
When shared parking is permitted, between different lots, the owner of the site on 
which the shared parking is located shall file a parking affidavit with the Community 
Development Department. If the lots share reciprocal parking privelges PRIVILEGES 
to resolve parking requirements on each respective lot, then a parking affidavit shall 
be filed for both lots. The parking affidavit shall transfer the rights to the unqualified 
availability of a specific number of parking spaces from one (1) property (which can 
no longer take credit for them) to another for the specific hours of use supported by 
the parking analysis (Section 4-604(C)), as long as the spaces are required by this 
Code. After City approval of the affidavit(s), the City shall record the affidavit with the 
Maricopa County Recorder's office. Proposed amendments to, or termination of, a 
recorded parking affidavit requires an application SUBMITTAL to the City 
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT for review of conformance to the site 
conditions and code requirements FOR PARKING ON ALL LOTS THAT ARE PARTY 
TO THE AFFIDAVIT prior to any amendment or termination. AMENDMENTS AND 
TERMINATIONS SHALL BE RECORDED BY THE CITY.

Section 4-704 Parking Facility Landscape Standards.
All parking facilities shall conform to all of the standards below: 
A. Parking Lot Landscape. Parking lots shall have landscape treatments that 
provide shade and allow for natural surveillance. SUCH LANDSCAPE 
TREATMENTS SHALL CONSIST OF AN EVENLY DISTRIBUTED MIX OF 
SHADE TREES WITH SHRUBS AND/OR GROUND COVER PLANTS. "EVENLY 
DISTRIBUTED" MEANS THAT THE TREES AND OTHER PLANTS ARE 
DISTRIBUTED AROUND THE PARKING LOT PERIMETER AND BETWEEN 
PARKING BAYS TO PROVIDE A PARTIAL CANOPY. Two (2) options are 
provided for conformance: 
1.
Option 1: Standard REQUIREMENTS:Dimensions. 
A.
A minimum of ten percent (10%) of the surface area of all surface parking 
lots, as measured around the perimeter of all parking spaces and 
maneuvering areas, shall be landscaped. 
B.
When a uUse pPermit is granted to exceed the parking maximum, per 
Section 4-603, a minimum of twelve percent (12%) of the surface area of 
all surface parking lots, as measured around the perimeter of all parking 
spaces and maneuvering areas, shall be landscaped. 
Such landscape treatments shall consist of an evenly distributed mix of 
shade trees with shrubs and/or ground cover plants. "Evenly distributed" 
means that the trees and other plants are distributed around the parking 
lot perimeter and between parking bays to provide a partial canopy. 
C.
At a minimum, one (1) tree per twelve (12) parking spaces shall be 
planted to create a partial tree canopy over and around the parking area. 
Parking areas shall contain landscape islands with trees at the ends of 
rows of parking, and to subdivide the parking area into rows of not more 
than fifteen (15) contiguous parking spaces. Landscape island spacing is 
flexible within the above standards. 
2.
Option 2: Performance Standard Based on Tree Canopy AND ENGINEERED 
SHADE. SUCH DETERMINATION SHALL BE BASED ON LANDSCAPE OR 
TREE PLANTING GUIDES FOR THE REGION (E.G., SUNSET WESTERN 
GARDEN BOOK). SHADE STRUCTURES MAY BE USED, SUBJECT TO A 
DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW APPROVAL. THIS STANDARD SHALL BE 
MET AT 3:00 P.M. ON THE DATE OF SUMMER SOLSTICE. A 
DEVELOPMENT PLAN SHADOW STUDY IS REQUIRED TO VERIFY THIS 
OPTION. 
A.
The landscape plan provides for an overall tree or shade canopy above 
surface parking areas that is not less than twenty percent (20%) of the

Page 29 of 38
parking area, based on the expected size of trees within five (5) years of 
planting. 
B.
When a uUse pPermit is granted to exceed the parking maximum, per 
Section 4-603, the landscape plan provides for an overall tree or shade 
canopy above surface parking areas that is not less than twenty-two 
percent (22%) of the parking area, based on the expected size of trees 
within five (5) years of planting. 
Such determination shall be based on landscape or tree planting guides 
for the region (e.g., Sunset Western Garden Book). 
Shade structures may be used, subject to a development plan review 
approval. This standard shall be met at 3:00 p.m. on the date of summer 
solstice. A development plan shadow study is required to verify this 
option.

Section 7-110 “L” Definitions
…
Lot line (property line) means the following:
1. Front. The front lot line of a lot shall be determined as follows:
a. Corner lot. The front lot line of a corner lot shall be the shorter of the two (2) lines 
adjacent to the streets. Where lines are equal, the front line shall be that line which is 
obviously the front by reason of the prevailing frontage of the other lots on the block. If

both;
b. Interior lot. The front lot line of an interior lot shall be the line coterminous with the 
street frontage; and
c. Through lot (reverse frontage). The front lot line of a through lot shall be that line 
which is the front by reason of the prevailing frontage of the other buildings on the 
block. Where such front lot line is neither evident nor established by a recorded plat, 
the Zoning Administrator shall determine the front lot line. Such a lot over two hundred 
(200) feet deep may be considered, for the purposes of this definition, as two (2) lots 
each with its own frontage, but this definition does not constitute a lot split.
