CONNECT PEOPLE AND PLACES CORE VALUE; CANALS AND TRAILS; 
DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Provide multi-use trail connections where appropriate. 
The development, as stipulated, includes the creation of a multi-use trail along the 
north side of Baseline Road which will fill a gap in a trail network along this street 
corridor as prescribed in the Baseline Area Master Plan. 
 
 
CONNECT PEOPLE AND PLACES CORE VALUE; OPPORTUNITY SITES; LAND 
USE PRINCIPLE: Support reasonable levels of increased intensity, respectful of 
local conditions and surrounding neighborhoods. 
The development, as stipulated, provides a reasonable level of intensity respectful to 
local conditions and surrounding neighborhoods. The development will complement 
the Paideia Academy, South Mountain Community College, and nearby shopping 
centers, by placing more residents within walking distance and by enhancing the 
street and canal frontages in a manner conducive to alternative transportation. The 
scale and setbacks are appropriate and consistent with the regulations of the Baseline 
Area Overlay District and the intent of the Baseline Area Master Plan. 
 
 
BUILD THE SUSTAINABLE DESERT CITY; TREE AND SHADE; DESIGN 
PRINCIPLE: Integrate trees and shade into the design of new development and 
redevelopment projects throughout Phoenix. 
The development, as stipulated, provides a well shaded sidewalks, trails, and amenity 
areas. The shade incorporated into the development along its frontages, its parking 
areas, and in proximity of the Western Canal will reduce the urban heat island effect 
and increase thermal comfort which will make the area more walkable, bikeable, and 
sustainable.

Background/Issues/Analysis 
 
SUBJECT SITE 
1. 
This request is to rezone 7.44 acres 
approximately 900 feet east of the 
northeast corner of 16th Street and 
Baseline Road from R1-14 BAOD (One 
Family Residence District, Baseline 
Area Overlay District) to R3 BAOD 
(Multifamily Residential, Baseline Area 
Overlay District). The site is located on 
the north side of Baseline Road and 
south of the Western Canal. 
 
The site is located within: 1.66 miles of 
future light rail; within 3,800 feet from 
South Mountain Community College; 
within 1,700 feet of a major commercial 
shopping center; and within 1,000 feet 
of three bus stops.

SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING 
2. 
The subject site and surrounding area are located within and governed by the 
BAOD. To the west is multifamily with R-3A (Multifamily Residence District) zoning. 
To the east is a single-family subdivision with approved R1-6 (Single-family 
Residence District) zoning.

Staff Report: Z-67-19-8

To the south across Baseline Road is a 
single-family residential development 
with R1-10 (Single-Family Residence 
District) zoning. To the north across 
the Western Canal is a single-family 
residential development with R-2 
(Multifamily Residence District) zoning.

GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP DESIGNATIONS 
3. 
The General Plan Land Use Map 
designation for the subject site is  
Residential 5 to 10 dwelling units per 
acre. While the proposed density of 
10.75 dwelling units per acre is slightly 
beyond that identified in the 
designation, a General Plan 
Amendment is not required because 
the site is less than 10 acres in size.  
 
The property immediately west of the 
site is designated Residential 15+ 
dwelling units per acre.  
 
The property immediately east of the 
site is designated Residential 5 to 10 
dwelling units per acre. The proposed 
density is consistent with the pattern of 
intensity north of Baseline Road which 
gradually decreases east of 16th 
Street. 
 
The property north of the canal is 
designated Residential 3.5 to 5 
dwelling units per acre. The property 
south of Baseline Road is designated 
Residential 2 to 3.5 dwelling units per 
acre.

PROPOSAL 
4. 
Site Plan 
The applicant is proposing 80 dwelling units on 7.44 gross acres. The site plan and 
elevations depict one- and two-story residential structures. The development is 
configured around a central amenity area containing a pool and shaded open 
space area. 
 
 
 
 
In addition to the central amenity area, 
the plan also depicts a neighborhood 
garden and dog park for its residents. 
Staff is recommending a stipulation to 
require that these amenities be 
provided. This is addressed in 
Stipulation No. 5. 
 
The applicant describes the 
neighborhood garden below: 
“As an amenity to its residents and 
a nod to the agricultural heritage of 
the South Mountain area, the 
proposed project will offer a 
community garden where residents 
can plant and grow vegetables, 
fruit, and herbs on their own plot of 
soil. The garden will provide a place 
for residents to gather and create 
opportunities to work together, build 
relationships, and build a stronger 
community.” 
Figure D: Conceptual Site Plan 
 
Source: Applicant 
 
 
 
5. 
Elevations 
The applicant is proposing a combination of one and two-story units. The BAOD 
prescribes a maximum height of two stories and additional requirements related to 
the proximity to the Western Canal and Baseline Road as described below: 
• A maximum building height of two stories not to exceed thirty feet shall be 
permitted in all zoning districts 
• Residential developments that abut the Western or Highline Canals should 
have fifty percent of development along the canal at one story or fifteen feet 
in height.

Staff Report: Z-67-19-8 
February 28, 2020 
Page 7 of 17 
 
 
 
 
• Residential developments that abut Baseline Road should be limited to one 
story or fifteen feet in height within 100 feet of the Baseline Road.

Source: Applicant 
 
 
 
 
6. 
Staff is recommending two stipulations related to building elevations in addition to 
the requirements in the BAOD which will apply regardless.  
• Stipulation No. 1 requires architectural enhancements to ensure four-sided 
architecture containing elements of visual interest.  
• Stipulation No. 2 requires embellishments to garage doors to reduce the 
predominance of garage doors and to add visual interest for all garage-
parked units.  
 
 
 
7. 
Baseline Area Streetscape 
The site plan depicts broad setbacks from Baseline Road, a detached sidewalk, 
and a multi-use trail. While these are required in the BAOD, staff is recommending 
Stipulation No. 6 to require these improvements and enhancements to the planting 
standards.

8. 
Internal Pedestrian Connectivity 
The site plan depicts a series of pedestrian pathways between all units, the central 
amenity area, the canal, and Baseline Road. Staff is recommending two 
stipulations to formalize the development around two north-south pedestrian 
thoroughfares intended to facilitate safe and convenient pedestrian movement as 
both a functional amenity and focal point of the development. 
• Stipulation No. 7 requires two pedestrian gates onto the Western Canal and 
two pedestrian gates onto Baseline Road.  
• Stipulation No. 8 requires two north-south pedestrian pathways developed 
to enhanced shade, width, lighting, and crossing standards. The stipulation 
also requires entry elements at all exterior access points to highlight to 
existence and importance of the pathways. 
 
 
 
9. 
Canal Bank Enhancements 
The City of Phoenix envisions the canal system as a regional amenity, a regional 
bike and pedestrian transportation system, and a vibrant means of connecting 
open spaces; this intent is codified in Section 507 Tab A II.E.2. of the Zoning 
Ordinance. 
 
The design guidelines encourage development to orient units to the canal frontage 
to activate and place more “eyes on the street.” However, the northern portion of 
the site is limited from development by an overhead electrical easement and will 
likely be further restricted by stormwater requirements due to the removal of the 
site from the flood zone (discussed later in Background Item No. 18). 
 
 
 
10. The Canal Bank Design Guidelines 
includes provisions structured as 
“presumptions”, “requirements”, and 
“considerations.” The canal bank 
guidelines: 
Require:  
• Private gate access onto 
canals for pedestrians;  
Presume:  
• Solid perimeter walls onto a 
canal not be greater than 3 
feet in height (view fence 
permitted above); 
Considers (Voluntary): 
• Locating public and/or 
private open space areas 
near the canal 
Figure G: Zoning Ordinance (Section 507)  
 
Requirements: Must be satisfied by any plan 
prior to design review approval. If a requirement 
cannot be satisfied, an applicant may seek relief 
through the variance process 
 
Presumptions: A plan submitted for design 
review is incomplete if it does not demonstrate 
that the presumptive elements have been in 
some way incorporated or overcome. 
 
Overcoming a presumption. A 
presumption that may be unsuitable may 
be waived if an applicant can 
demonstrate that there is a good reason 
why the presumption is inappropriate 
 
Considerations: Issues and concepts that an 
applicant should consider but their omission is 
not grounds for rejecting a plan.

The development is stipulated to provide pedestrian gates and access onto the 
canal (Stipulation No. 7) and is presumed to provide partial view fencing onto the 
canal. The site plan depicts a dog park in relative proximity to the canal. 
 
STUDIES AND POLICIES 
11. Baseline Area Master Plan and Baseline 
Area Overlay District:  
 
The Baseline Area Master Plan shows the 
character of the area that the city and area 
residents desire for their future. This plan 
outlines design, intensity, and landscape 
preferences in addition to policies that 
support bicycling, walking, and public transit. 
 
Figure H. Baseline Area Overlay District 
 
Source: Planning and Development 
Department 
 
The Baseline Area Overlay District is designed to encourage development that 
preserves the rural and agricultural character of the area. The overlay prescribes a 
streetscape standard which includes continuous multi-use trails, shaded sidewalks, 
a landscape palette, and broad landscape setbacks. 
 
The regulatory provisions contained in the overlay district will dictate the following 
improvements and design considerations, without any stipulations being required: 
• Primarily open / view fence along Baseline Road frontage. 
• A 50-foot landscape setback. 
• A restriction to limit building heights to one-story within 100 feet of Baseline 
Road. 
• A restriction to limit building heights to 50 percent one-story along the canal. 
 
 
 
 
Staff is recommending stipulations to reinforce the policy intent and regulatory 
provisions contained in the overlay district and the master plan:  
• Stipulation No. 6 to require a multi-use trail and sidewalks which are shaded 
and detached along Baseline Road. 
Stipulation Nos. 7 and 8 to require north-south pedestrian routes to encourage 
alternative transportation and an outdoor lifestyle. 
 
 
 
12. 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.

Staff Report: Z-67-19-8 
February 28, 2020 
Page 10 of 17 
 
 
 
 
 
Staff is recommending the following stipulations to advance the goals of the Tree 
and Shade Master Plan: 
• Stipulation No. 3 requires that 25 percent of the parking lot area be shaded 
(with a maximum 10 percent architectural shade). 
• Stipulation No. 6 requires detached sidewalks, shaded to 75 percent by 
large canopy shade trees, in addition to enhanced tree plantings in the front 
landscape setback area.  
• Stipulation No. 8 requires the internal north-south pedestrian pathways be 
shaded to 75 percent at maturity. 
 
 
 
13. Complete Streets Guidelines:  
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. 
 
Staff is recommending the following stipulations to advance the goals of the 
Complete Streets Guidelines: 
• Stipulation No. 4 which requires both bicycle parking and a bicycle repair 
station to be provided on site.  
• Stipulation No. 6 which requires detached sidewalks and a multiuse trail 
along Baseline Road. 
• Stipulation Nos. 7 and 8 which require north-south pedestrian pathways 
within the development to encourage residents to walk and bike along both 
Baseline Road and the Western Canal which will be accessed by pedestrian 
access gates. 
 
 
 
14. 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. The provision of recycling containers was not addressed in 
the applicant’s submittals. 
 
 
 
COMMUNITY CORRESPONDENCE: 
15. As of the writing of this report, staff has not received any correspondence 
regarding this proposed rezoning application. The applicant has provided Citizen 
Participation Report that meets the minimum requirements of the City of Phoenix 
and includes several letters of support for the project.  
 
 
 
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS:

determined that this site is in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) called Zone A, 
on panel 2220 L of the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) revised February 10, 
2017.  
 
Stipulation No. 9 requires the development area of the site be removed from the 
floodplain prior to the issuance of a grading and drainage permit in addition to 
requiring additional documentation as described below: 
• The Architect/Engineer is required to show the floodplain boundary limits on 
the Grading and Drainage plan and ensure that impacts to the proposed 
facilities have been considered, following the National Flood Insurance 
Program (NFIP) Regulations (44 CFR Paragraph 60.3).  This includes, but 
not limited to provisions in the latest versions of the Floodplain Ordinance of 
the Phoenix City Code.   
• A copy of the Grading and Drainage Plan needs to be submitted to the 
Floodplain Management section of Public Works Department for review and 
approval of Floodplain requirements.   
• A FEMA approved CLOMR-F or CLOMR is required prior to issuance of a 
Grading and Drainage permit

new bus stop facility; this comment is incorporated into Stipulation Nos. 6 through 
8.  
 
 
 
18. The Street Transportation Department provided a series of comments related to 
the following site improvements: 
• The modification of the median island in Baseline Road to create an 
eastbound left turn pocket to 18th Place. This comment is addressed in 
Stipulation No. 10. 
• The importance of pedestrian gates from the perimeter of the site and the 
inclusion of shaded and enhanced north-south pedestrian routes. These 
comments are incorporated into Stipulation Nos. 7 and 8. 
 
They further commented that the developer shall construct all streets within and 
adjacent to the development with paving, curb, gutter, sidewalk, curb ramps, 
streetlights, median islands, landscaping and other incidentals as per plans 
approved by the Planning and Development Department and that all improvements 
shall comply with all ADA accessibility standards. This comment is addressed in 
Stipulation No. 11. 
 
 
 
19. The Parks and Recreation Department commented that they will be requiring a 10-
foot-wide multi-use trail in a 30-foot-wide multi-use trail easement along the full 
length of the Baseline Road frontage. This comment is addressed in Stipulation 
No. 6. 
 
 
 
20. The Fire Department indicated there are no problems anticipated with the case 
and that the site and/or buildings shall comply with the Phoenix Fire Code. Further, 
the Department commented that they do not know the water supply at this site and 
noted that additional water supply may be required to meet the required fire flow 
per the Phoenix Fire Code. 
 
 
 
21. The Water Services Department commented that water lines are available in the 
area but than a sewer main extension may be required. They also noted that 
capacity is a dynamic condition that can change over time due to a variety of 
factors. It is the City's intent to provide water and sewer service. However, the 
requirements and assurances for water and sewer service are determined during 
the site plan application review. For any given property, water and sewer 
requirements may vary over time to be less or more restrictive depending on the 
status of the City’s water and sewer infrastructure. 
 
 
 
OTHER: 
22. The site has not been identified as being archaeologically sensitive. However, in 
the event archaeological materials are encountered during construction, all ground

disturbing activities must cease within 33-feet of the discovery and the City of 
Phoenix Archaeology Office must be notified immediately and allowed time to 
properly assess the materials. The archaeology comment is addressed in 
Stipulation No. 14. 
 
 
 
23. The property owner shall record documents that disclose the existence, and 
operational characteristics of Sky Harbor Airport to future owners or tenants of the 
property. The form and content of such documents shall be according to the 
templates and instructions provided which have been reviewed and approved by 
the City Attorney. The aviation comment is addressed in Stipulation No. 13. 
 
 
 
24. Development and use of the site is 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.
