GENERAL PLAN 
2. 
The subject site is primarily 
designated as 
Commercial, with a portion 
in the northeast corner of 
the parcel designated 
Residential 15+ dwelling 
units per acre. The area to 
north (across Elwood 
Street) is designated 
Commercial. The area to 
the west is designated as 
Commercial and 
Commerce/Business Park. 
The area to the south is 
designated as Residential 15+ dwelling units per acre and Commerce/Business 
Park. The area to the east is designated Residential 15+ dwelling units per acre 
and Commercial. The proposed C-3 zoning district is consistent with the 
Commercial General Plan Land Use Map designation on the majority of the site 
and is not consistent with the Residential 15+ dwelling units per acre on a portion 
of the site. A General Plan Amendment is not required because the portion of the 
site that is not consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map is less than 10 
acres in size.  
 
 
SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING 
3. 
To the north (across Elwood 
Street) are a warehouse and a 
government office zoned C-3 
RSIOD (Approved C-2 RSIOD), A-
1 RSIOD (Approved C-2 RSIOD), 
and A-1 RSIOD; in the area to the 
east are single-family residential 
homes zoned R-4 RSIOD; in the 
area to the west are commercial 
uses zoned C-3 RSIOD; and the 
area to the south is a 
manufacturing, warehouse and 
associated storage use zoned C-3

PROPOSAL 
4. 
Site Plan 
The proposal is for a fabrication, office and warehouse use. The conceptual site 
plan, attached as an exhibit, depicts the site layout including the location of 
proposed buildings, the pedestrian circulation, the bicycle and vehicular parking, 
two vehicular gates, and the trash enclosure. The site will have two points of 
ingress/egress on Elwood Street. The proposal is for a two-phased development: 
Phase 1 will include Building A and the western ingress/egress point, while Phase 
2 will include Building B, and the eastern right-in, right-out driveway. 
 
To ensure the site provides enhanced buffering to the residential uses to the east, 
as depicted on the site plan, staff recommends Stipulation No. 1 to require that the

Staff Report: Z-162-24-8 
March 18, 2025 
Page 7 of 15 
 
 
development be in general conformance with the site plan. Staff recommends 
Stipulation No. 2 to require pavement treatments that visually contrast parking and 
drive aisles where pedestrian walkways cross a vehicular path to enhance 
pedestrian safety. To promote enhanced walkability and shade, Stipulation No. 3 
requires a minimum of four bicycle parking spaces be provided, Stipulation No. 4 
requires that bicycle parking spaces and pedestrian pathways be shaded, 
Stipulation Nos. 5 and 6 require that landscape setbacks be provided on the west 
and south perimeters of the site, Stipulation No. 7 requires enhanced landscape 
setbacks along the east, south, and west portions of the site, and Stipulation No. 15 
requires a detached sidewalk along Elwood Street. 
 
 
5. 
Conceptual Building Elevations  
The conceptual building elevations, included as an exhibit, depict a variety of 
materials, colors, and architecture that is compatible with the surrounding area, the 
Rio Salado Beyond the Banks plan, and the Rio Phx initiative. Staff recommends 
Stipulation No. 1 to require that the development be in general conformance with 
the elevations.

STUDIES AND POLICIES 
6. 
Rio Phx Initiative 
The Rio Phx initiative is a collaborative effort by the City of Phoenix and various 
property/business owners and community stakeholders to create a series of land

Staff Report: Z-162-24-8 
March 18, 2025 
Page 8 of 15 
 
 
use policy documents that will help promote a 20-mile Rio Salado (Salt River) 
corridor as a local and regional destination that attracts positive investment for the 
benefit of businesses, residents, and tourists. This plan aims to be a key 
implementation component of the regional Rio Reimagined project. This initiative 
also seeks to identify outstanding needs in the area and opportunities for housing, 
employment, recreation, art, and ecological restoration. The final aim of this project 
is also to improve health outcomes for residents. 
 
To support and enhance the Rio Phx Initiative the proposal is required to provide 
bicycle parking, enhanced landscaping, architectural variation, a detached sidewalk 
along Elwood Street, and parking lot shade. These are addressed in Stipulation 
Nos. 1, 3 through 7, 11, and 15. 
 
 
7. 
Rio Salado Interim Overlay District 
The subject site is located within the Rio Salado Interim Overlay District (RSIOD). 
The district is designed to “control open, outdoor land uses and other uses in order 
to have a positive impact on the Rio Salado Habitat Restoration Project and add to 
the long-term value of adjacent land.” The proposal is consistent with the intent of 
the Rio Salado Interim Overlay District. 
 
 
8. 
Rio Salado Beyond the Banks Area Plan 
In December of 2003 
the City of Phoenix 
adopted the Rio 
Salado Beyond the 
Banks Area Plan to 
identify goals and 
policies to guide 
development decisions 
for an area beyond the 
banks of the Rio 
Salado and to 
complement the 
Phoenix Rio Salado 
Habitat Restoration 
Project (Rio Salado 
Project).  
 
The Rio Salado Beyond the Banks Area Plan recommends incorporation of Crime 
Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) to improve neighborhood 
safety and deter crime. In alignment with the Rio Salado Beyond the Banks Area 
Plan, staff recommends Stipulation Nos. 9 and 10 to require enhanced site lighting 
and the incorporation of native cacti or similar plants in the landscape setback 
along Elwood Street.

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. 
 
To create a bike-supportive environment for employees and patrons, bicycle 
infrastructure is incorporated into the proposed project. Staff recommends 
Stipulation Nos. 3 and 4 which will require shaded bicycle parking be provided on 
site. 
 
 
10. Transportation Electrification Action Plan 
In June 2022, the Phoenix City Council approved the Transportation Electrification 
Action Plan. The current market desire for the electrification of transportation is 
both a national and global phenomenon, fueled by a desire for better air quality, a 
reduction in carbon emissions, and a reduction in vehicle operating and 
maintenance costs. Businesses, governments and the public are signaling strong 
future demand for electric vehicles (EVs), and many automobile manufacturers 
have declared plans for a transition to fully electric offerings within the coming 
decade. This Plan contains policy initiatives to prepare the City for a future filled 
with more EVs, charging infrastructure and e-mobility equity, and outlines a 
roadmap for a five-step plan to prepare for the EV infrastructure needs of 280,000 
EVs in Phoenix by 2030. One goal of the Plan to accelerate public adoption of 
electric vehicles through workplace, business, and multifamily charging 
infrastructure recommends a standard stipulation for rezoning cases to provide EV 
charging infrastructure. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 8, which requires that 
two percent of parking spaces include EV Capable infrastructure.  
 
 
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 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. Staff 
recommends Stipulation Nos. 4 through 7, 11, and 15 to require shaded bicycle 
parking and pedestrian pathways, enhanced landscaped setbacks along the south, 
east, and west portions of the property, shaded vehicular parking, and shaded 
detached sidewalks along Elwood Street.   
 
 
12. Complete Streets Guidelines  
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,

Staff Report: Z-162-24-8 
March 18, 2025 
Page 10 of 15 
 
 
pedestrians, transit, and vehicles. The proposed development, as stipulated, will 
support walking, bicycling and transit use by including contrasting pedestrian 
pathways on site, shaded bicycle parking and pedestrian pathways, and detached 
sidewalks. This is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 2 through 4, and 15. 
 
 
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.  
 
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 applicant stated in their submittal 
materials that they are targeting recycling 70 percent of all waste.  
 
 
 
14. 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. 13, which requires a minimum of two GI 
techniques for stormwater management to be implemented in this development. 
 
 
15. 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. 12 through 14. 
 
 
COMMUNITY CORRESONDENCE 
16. As of the writing of this report, no letters of support or opposition have been 
received for the request.

INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 
17. The Street Transportation Department requested that a detached sidewalk be 
provided along Elwood Street, which is addressed in Stipulation No. 15. 
Additionally, Stipulation No. 16 requires the dedication of right-of-way for Elwood 
Street, Stipulation No. 17 requires that the mitigation improvements identified in the 
Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) be constructed and funded, and Stipulation No. 18 
requires that the developer construct all improvements in the right-of-way with all 
required elements and to ADA standards. 
 
 
OTHER 
18. The site is located in a larger area identified as being archaeologically sensitive. If 
further review by the City of Phoenix Archaeology Office determines the site and 
immediate area to be archaeologically sensitive, and if no previous archaeological 
projects have been conducted within this project area, it is recommended that 
archaeological Phase I data testing of this area be conducted. Phase II 
archaeological data recovery excavations may be necessary based upon the 
results of the testing. A qualified archaeologist must make this determination in 
consultation with the City of Phoenix Archaeologist. In the event archaeological 
materials are encountered during construction, all ground disturbing activities must 
cease within a 33-foot radius of the discovery and the City of Phoenix Archaeology 
Office must be notified immediately and allowed time to properly assess the 
materials. This is addressed in Stipulations Nos. 19 through 21. 
 
 
19. Staff has not received a completed form for the Waiver of Claims for Diminution in 
Value of Property under Proposition 207 (A.R.S. 12-1131 et seq.), as required by 
the rezoning application process. Therefore, a stipulation has been added to 
require the form be completed and submitted prior to final site plan approval. This 
is addressed in Stipulation No. 22. 
 
 
20. Development and use of the site are subject to all applicable codes and 
ordinances. Zoning approval does not negate other ordinance requirements. Other 
formal actions such as, but not limited to, zoning adjustments and abandonments 
may be required. 
 
Findings 
 
1. 
The proposal is consistent with the Commercial General Plan Land Use Map 
designation.  
 
 
2. 
As stipulated, the proposal provides enhanced pedestrian and bicycle amenities 
consistent with the Rio Phx Initiative, Comprehensive Bicycle Master Plan, Tree
