CONNECT PEOPLE AND PLACES CORE VALUE; CORES, CENTERS & 
CORRIDORS; LAND UE PRINCIPLE: Locate land uses with the greatest height 
and most intense uses within village cores, centers and corridors based on 
village character, land use needs, and transportation system capacity. 
 
The proposal promotes the expansion of a high density multifamily residential 
development adjacent to the Camelback East Primary Core and along Camelback 
Road, in an area that has existing commercial development and is adjacent to State 
Route 51. The proposed development is also consistent with the scale, design, and 
density which has been approved in the surrounding area. 
 
CONNECT PEOPLE AND PLACES CORE VALUE; INFILL DEVELOPMENT; LAND 
USE PRINCIPLE: Promote and encourage compatible infill development with a 
mix of housing types in neighborhoods close to employment centers, commercial 
areas, and where transit or transportation alternatives exist. 
 
The proposal seeks to convert an underutilized site into multifamily residential 
development, which will provide more housing options for residents and will support the 
existing commercial centers that are clustered in this area.   
 
CELEBRATE OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS CORE 
VALUE; HEALTHY NEIGHBORHOODS; DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Establish design 
standards and guidelines for parking lots and structures, setback and buildto 
lines, blank wall space, shade, and other elements affecting pedestrians, to 
encourage pedestrian activity and identify options for providing pedestrian-
oriented design in different types of development. 
 
The proposed narrative includes standards that ensure that any parking garage 
structure is enveloped by residential units on all sides. Thus, no portion of the parking 
garage will visible to pedestrians or from any sides of the building. Further, pedestrian 
amenities such as a primary walkway, shade trees, and a water feature at the front 
entrance of the building are proposed to provide a pleasant pedestrian experience.

Background/Issues/Analysis 
 
SUBJECT SITE 
1. 
This request is to rezone a 
3.36-acre site located 
approximately 440 feet west 
of the northwest corner of 
18th Street and Camelback 
Road from C-2 CEPCSP 
(Intermediate Commercial 
District, Camelback East

Camelback East Primary Core Specific Plan 
Originally adopted in 1991, with an update in 2006, the Camelback East Primary 
Core Specific Plan (CEPCSP) provides guidance on land use, transportation, 
infrastructure investments and desirable design features for properties within the 
defined Core Center and Core Gradient. The Core Center is generally bounded by 
SR 51 (Piestewa Freeway), 26th Street, Camelback Road and Highland Avenue 
whereas the Core Gradient generally extends from the boundaries of the Core 
Center to Medlock Drive, Campbell Avenue, 16th Street and 28th Street. The 
subject site is located in Core Gradient 2 of the plan and is subject to the 
requirements and guidelines set forth therein. 
4. 
The proposed development incorporates several of the plan’s prominent elements 
including streetscape enhancement, improved pedestrian circulation, and location 
and concealment of the parking garage structure to minimize pedestrian interruption 
along the streetscape. As stipulated, the development will also contribute to escrow 
funds for a potential mid-block crossing along Camelback Road, facilitating a north-
south pedestrian spine, as called for in the plan. 
The Camelback East Primary Core Specific Plan sets forth specific development 
guidelines and regulations with allowable bonuses for developments that provide 
desirable amenities. For properties located in Core Gradient 2, the maximum 
building height is limited to 30 feet, with an additional maximum of 56 feet if 
bonuses are applied. The proposed PUD has a maximum height of 56 feet, and 
meets several of the desired bonus provisions that are laid out in the plan. The 
bonus provisions that this development proposes and their level of desirability, per 
Source: City of Phoenix Planning and Development Department

Staff Report: Z-16-20-6 (Alta Bluewater PUD) 
November 5, 2020 
Page 6 of 15 
 
 
Section 5.3.f5 of the CEPCSP, are as follows: high density housing (high 
desirability), extraordinary design quality (medium to high desirability), exceptional 
mitigation of structured parking (high desirability), and the creatiion of 
extraordinarily enhanced pedestrian areas within the project (high desirabiliy).  
5. 
The Camelback East Primary Core Specific Plan also includes a set of design 
guidelines that aim to provide open spaces and pedestrian linkages, encourage 
architectural excellence with a pedestrian focus and to preserve established view 
corridors by minimizing visual clutter. The design guidelines included within the plan 
apply to all new development within the Core Center and Core Gradient areas. 
Several design standards included within the PUD are taken directly from the 
specific plan. These include shaded pedestrian connections, restriction on surface 
parking as well as the addition of bicycle parking and pedestrian-level amenities. 
Inclusion of these design features serve to create a level of consistency among 
existing and future developments within the Camelback Road corridor. 
Further, the proposed PUD includes overall design guidelines that are consisted 
with those listed in the Camelback East Primary Core Specific Plan. These include 
the required water feature near the main building entrance, architectural details and 
embellishments that result in visually interesting buildings, direct pedestrian access 
to the building, and the incorporation of a building base into a multi-story building to 
help define the pedestrian environment. 
EXISTING CONDITIONS & SURROUNDING ZONING 
6. 
The subject site currently consists of a restaurant and its associated parking lot. 
The lot abuts an arterial street (Camelback Road) to the south, and a freeway (SR 
51) to the east. The surrounding land uses and zoning districts are as follows:  
NORTH 
North of the subject site is a multifamily residential development that is zoned C-2 
HGT/WVR DNS/WVR (Intermediate Commercial District, Height Waiver, Density 
Waiver) 
SOUTH 
South of the subject site, directly adjacent to the proposed development, is a gas 
station which is zoned C-2 (Intermediate Commercial District). Further south, 
across Camelback Road, is a retail shopping center also zoned C-2 (Intermediate 
Commercial District). 
EAST 
East of the subject site is SR 51 and, across the freeway is a retail store zoned C-2 
(Intermediate Commercial District) and R-4 (Multifamily Residence District), R-4 
(Approved P-1) (Multifamily Residence District, Approved Parking District) and R-5 
(Approved P-1) (Multifamily Residence District, Approved Parking District). There is

Staff Report: Z-16-20-6 (Alta Bluewater PUD) 
November 5, 2020 
Page 7 of 15 
 
 
also some land zoned R-5 (Multifamily Residence District) that is Arizona 
Department of Transportation and City of Phoenix right-of-way. 
WEST 
West of the subject site is a commercial shopping center zoned C-2 (Intermediate 
Commercial District).  
PROPOSAL 
7. 
The proposal was developed utilizing the PUD zoning designation. The Planned 
Unit Development (PUD) is intended to create a built environment that is superior to 
that produced by conventional zoning districts and design guidelines. Using a 
collaborative and comprehensive approach, an applicant authors and proposes 
standards and guidelines that are tailored to the context of a site on a case by case 
basis. Where the PUD Development Narrative is silent on a requirement, the 
applicable Zoning Ordinance provisions will be applied. 
8. 
The development standards contained within the PUD were developed to account 
for the unique configuration of the lot. An existing gas station located to the south of 
the site, along Camelback Road, limits access onto the site to a single driveway 
location and results in a key lot configuration. The proposed development standards

Staff Report: Z-16-20-6 (Alta Bluewater PUD) 
November 5, 2020 
Page 8 of 15 
 
 
in this PUD are intended to maximize use of the site while still being mindful of 
surrounding conditions. 
9.  
The PUD proposes development standards designed to accommodate a five-story 
multifamily residential building with a maximum height of 56 feet and a maximum 
density of 216 dwelling units. A small surface parking lot, not to exceed 10 spaces, 
will be provided on the southern portion of the property, along the main entry drive 
from Camelback Road. Resident and guest parking will be provided in a fully 
wrapped parking garage structure which will provide residents access from each 
residential level. The parking garage will be enveloped on all sides by residential 
units and will not be visible from the exterior of the building. 
The conceptual site plan included within the Development Narrative depicts a main 
entry driveway from Camelback Road which leads to the main entry on the south 
side of the building, and continues along its west side to connect with the entry to 
the parking garage, and to two additional vehicular access points. The first access 
point along the western property line connects to the parking lot of the retail 
shopping center to the west. The second access point along the western property 
line connects to a second parking lot behind the retail center which also connects to 
Medlock Drive to the north, providing residents with a second entry point onto the 
property. 
 
Below is a summary of the proposed standards for the subject site as described in 
the attached PUD Development Narrative date stamped October 14, 2020.

The conceptual site plan included with this PUD request depicts a main pedestrian 
pathway that connects Camelback Road to the building entrance. This pathway 
shall be shaded with trees at 75 percent at maturity, except where existing 
easements prohibit the installation of trees. 
The eastern property line, which abuts SR 51, contains a small break, or notch, that 
is owned by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and is not part of the 
subject site. The proposed building and landscape setbacks for this property line 
provide an exception for this notch, where landscaping will not be possible, and to 
allow the building to continue along this side without interruption. 
LANDSCAPE STANDARDS 
9. 
The proposed landscape setbacks for this PUD are largely consistent with the 
standards set forth in the Zoning Ordinance for the C-2 zoning district, with the main 
exception being the landscape setback for the southern property line, along 
Camelback Road. The PUD proposes a minimum of 50 feet, which is more

Staff Report: Z-16-20-6 (Alta Bluewater PUD) 
November 5, 2020 
Page 10 of 15 
 
 
restrictive than the required 25-foot average. This PUD also proposes landscaping 
that is comparable to the standards in the C-2 zoning district along the streetscape 
frontage on Camelback Road. The proposed landscaping standards on the 
perimeter property lines (north, east, and west) exceed those set forth in the Zoning 
Ordinance, with minimum two-inch caliper trees required throughout and a mix of 
two, three, and four-inch caliper trees along Camelback Road. 
DESIGN GUIDELINES 
10. 
The PUD contains a variety of design guidelines addressing building facades, which 
are intended to enhance the visual interest of the structures, mitigate the impact of 
building massing and height, and provide a high-quality design. Guidelines include 
a requirement for four-sided architecture, a mix of a minimum of three building 
materials, maximum 60 percent stucco on each building elevation, color palette as 
illustrated in the PUD submittal, and standards for fully screening the parking 
garage structure so that it is integrated to appear part of the overall building façade.

11. 
The proposed landscape design guidelines in this 
PUD are intended to provide a uniform design 
throughout the site and create an enhanced 
pedestrian experience throughout. The proposed 
standards include a pedestrian pathway system 
that will connect the project to the commercial 
development to the west and to Camelback 
Road, as well as to all building entrances and 
exits, sidewalks, and bicycle facilities. These 
pedestrian pathways shall be constructed of 
materials that visually contrast with vehicular 
drive aisles and shall be a minimum of 5 feet 
wide. 
The main pedestrian pathway, which will connect 
Camelback Road to the main building entrance, 
will be a minimum of eight feet wide, with 
pedestrian scale lighting, and shall be shaded 
with trees to 75 percent at maturity, except where 
existing easements prohibit tree plantings.  
12. 
This PUD proposes several public and private amenities throughout the site to 
ensure a high-quality residential use. Private residential amenities will be divided 
into indoor and outdoor amenities. Indoor amenities shall include a club house, a 
fitness center, and a fifth-floor club deck. Outdoor amenities shall include a 
swimming pool and/or spa, a water feature along the primary pedestrian pathway to 
the building entrance, and a minimum of three of the following: shaded outdoor 
dining area, water features, outdoor fitness areas, fire features, seating nodes, art 
installations, or community gardens. Public amenities shall include a minimum of 
two of the following: shaded bench seating, bike racks, public art, decorative paving 
materials, and landscape planters. 
13. 
Signage 
The PUD proposes conformance with the Section 705 of the Phoenix Zoning 
Ordinance, with additional provisions to permit wall signs and monument signs. 
There is an existing monument sign on the property, which belongs to the 
commercial development to the west and will not be modified as this project gets 
developed. Due to the key lot configuration of the site, this PUD sets forth specific 
standards for a new Camelback Road monument sign that will direct vehicles and 
pedestrians to the building, which is significantly set back from the street. As this 
site falls within the boundaries of the Camelback East Primary Core Specific Plan, 
all signs are subject to a Comprehensive Sign Plan, which shall be processed 
through a separate process.

AREA PLANS, OVERLAY DISTRICTS, AND INITIATIVES 
14. 
Squaw Peak Parkway Specific Plan 
The Phoenix City Council approved the Squaw Peak Parkway Specific plan on 
June 20, 1990, with the primary purpose of outlining goals and policies for 
properties abutting SR 51 and guiding development in a way that protects the 
integrity of existing neighborhoods. Further, the plan sets forth actionable items to 
mitigate the impact of the freeway on the existing communities along this corridor. 
Since the adoption of these plans, SR 51 has been completed and mitigating 
features such as sound walls, enhanced landscaping, and overall circulation 
improvements have been built as set forth in the plans. The plans also included 
land use change recommendations for properties abutting SR 51. No land use 
changes were recommended for the area between Camelback Road and Bethany 
Home Road, from 16th Street to 20th Street, where the subject site is located. 
15. 
Phoenix Food Action Plan 
In 2016, Phoenix City Council adopted the 2050 Environmental Sustainability 
Goals, including a Local Food System Goal to maintain a healthy, sustainable, 
equitable, and thriving local food system. To support this effort, the City has created 
its first 2025 Food Action Plan to outline actions and policies, develop and enhance 
partnerships, to support people most impacted by food insecurity and hunger, and 
to achieve the goals of access to healthy food for everyone in Phoenix. Per staff’s 
recommendation, this PUD has included an option to allow community gardens by 
way of raised garden beds with automatic irrigation systems so that residents of this 
development have the option to grow their own food on the site. 
16. 
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 
providing an opportunity for high density residential development. 
17. 
Tree and Shade Master Plan 
The Tree and Shade Master Plan has a goal of treating the urban forest as 
infrastructure to ensure that trees are an integral part of the city’s planning and 
development process. By investing in trees and the urban forest, the city can 
reduce its carbon footprint, decrease energy costs, reduce storm water runoff, 
increase biodiversity, address the urban heat island effect, clean the air, and 
increase property values. In addition, trees can help to create walkable streets and 
vibrant pedestrian places. The proposal includes landscape planting standards

November 5, 2020 
Page 13 of 15 
 
 
along Camelback Road and along the northern, western, and eastern property lines 
that meet or exceed Zoning Ordinance standards. 
18. 
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. To support these principles related to 
pedestrian connectivity and safety, the development proposes a main pedestrian 
pathway that will connect the building entrance to the sidewalk on Camelback 
Road. A pedestrian connection to the commercial development to the west will also 
be provided. Pedestrian-scale lighting and shade will be provided along all 
pedestrian pathways. The pedestrian pathways will be constructed of paving 
materials that contrast with the vehicular travel lanes where they cross drive aisles. 
19. 
Reimagine Phoenix 
As part of the Reimagine Phoenix initiative, the City of Phoenix is committed to 
increasing the waste diversion rate to 40 percent by 2020 and to better manage its 
solid waste resources. 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. This PUD 
proposes recycling receptacles and chutes in the refuse room. 
COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY 
20. 
At the time this staff report was written, staff received three letters with concerns 
regarding traffic generation, the proposed height of the building, and with potential 
illegal use of neighboring properties. 
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 
21. 
The Phoenix Fire Department has noted that they do not anticipate any problems 
with this case and that the site and/or buildings shall comply with the Phoenix Fire 
Code. 
22. 
The City of Phoenix Floodplain Management division of the Public Works 
Department has determined that this parcel is not in a Special Flood Hazard Area 
(SFHA), but is located in a Shaded Zone X, on panel 1745 L of the Flood Insurance 
Rate Maps (FIRM) dated April 7, 2017. 
23. 
The Phoenix Street Transportation Department has required that the developer 
dedicate a 10-foot sidewalk easement along Camelback Road and also submit a 
Traffic Impact Study for this development. Further, the developer shall improve all 
streets within and adjacent to the overall development to current ADA guidelines. 
These requirements are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 2, 3, and 4.

1. 
The proposed PUD will redevelop an underutilized property and provide a high 
quality multifamily residential development which will help alleviate the housing 
shortage in Phoenix. 
2. 
The proposed land use intensity is appropriate at this location in close proximity to 
SR 51 and within the Camelback East Primary Core Specific Plan area. 
3. 
The proposal includes several development standards and design guidelines that 
exceed conventional Zoning Ordinance standards, and it is consistent with the 
Camelback East Primary Core Specific Plan.

I am in receipt of your letter of May 13 regarding what is the property where the Bluewater 
Grill is currently located. I live at 2113 E. Marshall Ave., and therefore drive in the area of the 
proposed project almost daily.  I am opposed to the proposal. 
 
There have already been way too many multi-family properties built in the last couple of years 
along Camelback, 24th Street south of Camelback,  along 16th Street and the one under 
construction at 18th Street and Missouri, adding to traffic, congestion an other issues. In 
addition, the location of the proposed project is particularly bad.  Camelback road from 24th 
Street to 18th Street (the SR 51 access road) is always congested and at rush hour times it is at 
a standstill. The general traffic situation from 24th all the way to Central is also bad. Most 
residents in the area avoid it unless necessary to patronize a business in the area. Missouri is 
becoming more and more crowded as a result. 
 
Dropping a 216 unit project right next to the SR 51 would only exacerbate the already terrible 
traffic issues. People trying to turn east out of the shopping center next to the proposed 
project (Camelback Center) onto Camelback already have extreme difficulty doing so. Adding 
216 plus additional residents trying to turn in and out right next to SR 51 would cause a traffic 
disaster. The only other option would be for them to leave the property on Medlock and go 
west to 16th street, coming out on the back side of the shopping center. Traffic trying to turn 
into and out of the Camelback Center (or into the Toyota dealership across the street) is 
already way too congested. 
 
I can think of no way that the additional traffic that this project would create could be 
managed in a way that would not cause more congestion, accidents, and problems. 
 
Please let me know when any zoning hearings on this project are scheduled. Thank you.

Rezoning Project Notification - Northwest Corner of Camelback and State Route 51
Ms. Mastihina – 
 
We are in receipt of the proposed Rezoning request for a change in zoning to a Planned Unit Development on the 
property directly adjacent to our commercial property at 1670 East Camelback Road, Phoenix, AZ 85282.   
 
Although we have not had time to completely review this rezoning request and the multiple ways it will affect our 
property, the developer’s site plan appears to reflect the use of our north roadway, which is used for truck deliveries 
and employee parking.  This use of our property must be wishful thinking on the latest developers’ end.  We also have 
concerns with flow of traffic; drainage and the possible illegal use of our property by future residents similar to the 
ongoing issues we experience from the residents of the Baltimore Square Condominiums directly north of our property 
 
We look forward to hearing the City’s understanding of the as to the developer’s plans for ingress and egress along with 
hearing our other concerns.  
 
Respectfully, 
Kathy Stimson

      Good afternoon!  I am in receipt of a Rezoning project notification from Mr. Wood dated May 13th in regards to the 
proposed project at SR51 and Camelback.  I own property on the exact opposite side of SR51 from this proposed 
condo.  Can you clarify how tall the condo project is planned?  I foresee a loss in property value if I lose privacy for my 
property.  I also have concerns with the additional traffic that an additional 200+ residential units brings to the area.  As 
you likely know, traffic to get into or out of the area is horrendous (and this would only exacerbate the issue).       I 
request to be added to the Camelback East Village Planning Committee hearing schedule for this proposal and will 
gather additional thoughts, comments and resources from my neighbors. 
 
Thank you, 
Keith Keebler
