Background/Issues/Analysis 
 
SUBJECT SITE 
1. 
This request is to rezone 25.71 acres located at the northeast corner of 23rd 
Avenue and Dobbins Road from S-1 (Ranch or Farm Residence District) to R1-18 
(Single-Family Residence District) for a detached single-family residential 
subdivision. The site is presently vacant and used for agricultural purposes. In 
1960, the subject site was annexed into the City of Phoenix from unincorporated 
Maricopa County and zoned S-1. Historic aerial imagery shows that the site was 
historically utilized for agricultural purposes. 
 
In 2021, Rezoning Case No. Z-71-21-8 and companion case GPA-SM-4-21-8 were 
filed to rezone the site from S-1 to R-10 and change the General Plan Land Use 
Map designation from Residential 1 to 2 dwelling units per acre to Residential 2 to 
3.5 dwelling units per acre. The cases were then withdrawn in 2022. 
 
 
2. 
The subject site is 
designated as Residential 1 
to 2 dwelling units per 
acre on the General Plan 
Land Use Map. The 
surrounding area is also 
designated Residential 1 
to 2 dwelling units per 
acre on the General Plan 
Land Use Map, with the 
exception of a small area 
to the south, across 
Dobbins Road, that is 
designated Park/Open 
Space – Publicly Owned.

PROPOSAL 
4. 
Site Plan 
The proposal is for a 
58-lot subdivision.  
The requested R1-18 
zoning district allows 
for a base density of 
52 units and up to 60 
units with a density 
bonus. To achieve 58 
units the development 
will need to 
demonstrate the 
provision of additional 
basic and/or improved 
open space. The 
provisions of additional 
open space will be 
reviewed through the 
site planning process. 
 
The conceptual site plan, attached as an exhibit, depicts the site layout including 
the location of each lot, the open space areas, proposed lot widths, enhanced entry 
and pedestrian circulation. The site will have one point of ingress/egress on 23rd 
Avenue.  
 
Staff recommends Stipulation No. 1 to require general conformance to the site plan 
with specific regard to the number of lots, the proposed lot widths ranging from 65 
to 70 feet, and increased setbacks for lots along the eastern property line. 
Additionally, staff recommends Stipulation No. 7 to require the primary access 
drive to incorporate decorative materials and landscaping and Stipulation No. 2 to 
require enhanced landscaping to provide enhanced buffering along the perimeter 
of the site. 
 
To promote enhanced walking, cycling, and transit-use staff recommends 
Stipulation Nos. 10 through 14 to require multi-use trails and detached sidewalks 
along 23rd Avenue and Dobbins Road, and that all sidewalks within the 
development be detached. 
 
To increase visibility and promote an open feel both within the community and 
along adjacent streets, staff recommends Stipulation No. 6 to require perimeter

walls be 75 percent view fencing and to improve the streetscape by providing 
visual interest via wall-offsets and material and textural differences. 
 
 
5. 
Conceptual Building Elevations  
The conceptual building elevations, attached as an exhibit, depict four different 
single-family elevations. Each elevation proposes a shaded porch and a variety of 
building materials. Staff recommends Stipulation Nos. 4 and 5 to require that all lot 
be subject to Single-Family Design Review and that building elevations incorporate 
several enhancements including: multiple colors, exterior accent materials, and 
textural differences that exhibit quality and durability.

STUDIES AND POLICIES 
6. 
Rio Montaña Area Plan: 
The Rio Montaña Area Plan encourages preservation of the rural character of the 
area and incorporates transition zones to protect desert and open space areas. 
The plan also encourages pedestrian and equestrian activities through a network 
of trails and aspires to develop a sense of community while encouraging 
investment in the community. 
 
The Rio Montaña Area 
Plan intended to 
accomplish this vision 
through seven goals that 
include: promoting 
balanced, high quality 
development; protecting 
and improving 
neighborhoods through 
maintenance, rehabilitation 
and infill projects; keeping 
a distinctive character that 
reflects the diversity in its 
equestrian heritage, 
culture, history and 
architecture; protecting the 
rural character, the Sonoran Desert and the riparian potential of the Rio Salado 
Habitat Restoration Project; promoting future business development and economic 
growth; developing the tourism industry through a wide range of opportunities; and 
providing a variety of transportation options. 
 
This site is located in the center of the Rio Montaña Area Plan boundaries in an 
area with a mix of rural residential neighborhoods and agricultural uses. Per the 
proposed stipulations, the development will incorporate a range of perimeter lot 
widths ranging from 65 feet to 70 feet and enhanced landscaping along the 
perimeters. These elements will help provide an appropriate land use transition

consistent with development patterns in the general area, while furthering the intent 
of the Rio Montaña Area Plan. 
 
Per Stipulation Nos. 10 and 11, the project site will enhance the connectivity and 
pedestrian comfort in the area by providing street improvements, including 
sidewalks and landscaping, along 23rd Avenue and Dobbins Road. Similarly, this 
development will provide multi-use trails along 23rd Avenue and Dobbins Road. 
This is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 13 and 14. 
 
Other design elements of the Rio Montaña Area Plan will be addressed through the 
design guidelines of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance in Chapter 5, Section 507 Tab. 
A (Guidelines for Design Review). 
 
 
7. 
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 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 providing housing that will address the supply 
shortage at a more rapid pace while using vacant or underutilized land in a more 
sustainable fashion. 
 
 
8. 
Phoenix Climate Action Plan 
In October 2021, the Phoenix City Council approved the Climate Action Plan. The 
Climate Action Plan will serve as a long-term plan to achieve greenhouse gas 
emissions reductions and resiliency goals from local operations and community 
activities as well as prepare for the impacts of climate change. This plan contains 
policy and initiatives regarding stationary energy, transportation, waste 
management, air quality, local food systems, heat, and water. Goal W2 (Water), 
Action W2.4, pertains to the implementation of the Greater Phoenix Metro Green 
Infrastructure (GI) and Low Impact Development Details for Alternative Stormwater 
Management to benefit the environment, promote water conservation, reduce 
urban heat, improve the public health, and create additional green spaces. This 
goal is addressed in Stipulation No. 9, which requires a minimum of two GI 
techniques for stormwater management to be implemented in this development.

9. 
Conservation Measures for New Development: 
In June 2023, the Phoenix City Council adopted the Conservation Measures for 
New Development policy as part of a resolution addressing the future water 
consumption of new development (Resolution 22129). This resolution addresses 
the future water consumption of new development to support one of the City’s Five 
Core Values in the General Plan which calls for Phoenix to - Build the Sustainable 
Desert City. The Conservation Measures for New Development policy includes 
direction to develop standards for consideration as stipulations for all rezoning 
cases that will address best practices related to water usage in nine specific 
categories. This is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 8 and 9. 
 
 
10. 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 frontage should be detached from 
the curb 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 
proposal, as stipulated, will create a comfortable streetscape environment with 
enhanced landscaping and shaded, detached sidewalks along 23rd Avenue and 
Dobbins Road. These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 2, 10, and 11.  
 
 
11. Monarch Butterfly Pledge: 
 
In April 2021, Mayor Kate Gallego signed the National Wildlife Federation's Mayor's 
Monarch Pledge. This pledge commits the city to take action to support the 
monarch butterfly population. In the United States, loss of milkweed habitat is a 
major factor in the decline of the monarchs. Arizona has at least 29 species of 
milkweed native to the state. Adult monarchs feed on the nectar of many flowers, 
but they breed only where milkweeds are found. To support the monarch butterfly 
population, Stipulation No. 3 addresses the planting of milkweed shrubs, or other 
native nectar plant species, on the subject site. 
 
12. Complete Streets Guiding Principles:  
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 proposed development, as 
stipulated, will support walking, bicycling, and transit-use by including multi-use 
trails and detached sidewalks and along 23rd Avenue, Dobbins Road, and streets 
within the development. These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 10 through 14.

13. Zero Waste Phoenix 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.  
 
The city provides recycling service to single-family developments. 
 
 
COMMUNITY CORRESONDENCE 
14. At the time this staff report was written, staff has received no letters of support or 
opposition for this request.

addressed in Stipulation No. 25. 
 
 
OTHER 
17. The subject site is within close proximity to properties used for agricultural uses, 
and approximately one mile northwest of the Phoenix Regional Police Academy, 
thus potentially leading to dust, odors, noise or other impacts to future residential 
uses on the site. Stipulation Nos. 27 and 28 require disclosure of the existence and 
operational characteristics of agricultural activities and the Phoenix Regional Police 
Academy gun range to purchasers of property within the development. 
 
 
18. The site has not been identified as being archaeologically sensitive. However, in
