CONNECT PEOPLE AND PLACES CORE VALUE; COMPLETE STREETS; DESIGN
PRINCIPLE: In order to balance a more sustainable transportation system,
development should be designed to include increased amenities for transit,
pedestrian and bicyclists such as shade, water, seating, bus shelters, wider
sidewalks, bike racks, pedestrian scale lighting and way-finding.
The development, as stipulated, will provide an enhanced pedestrian realm for the
extent of its frontage on Broadway Road as envisioned by the Four Corners Overlay
Attachment B

District including a shaded bus stop, bicycle parking, wide sidewalks, and a pedestrian
oriented building setback.
STRENGTHEN OUR LOCAL ECONOMY CORE VALUE; LOCAL AND SMALL
BUSINESS; LAND USE PRINCIPLE: Facilitate adaptive reuse of older,
underutilized properties to create mechanisms for new local and small
businesses to operate, thrive and grow.
The proposal will repurpose an existing and underutilized property in the Four Corners
Overlay District and allow a local business to establish. The Four Corners Overlay
District is designed to create an enhanced pedestrian environment; however, little
development has produced the desired results of the overlay since its adoption. The
development, as stipulated, will advance the intent of the General Plan goal and the
Four Corners Overlay District.
CELEBRATE OUR DIVERSE ECONOMY CORE VALUE; CERTAINTY AND
CHARACTER; DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Promote neighborhood identity through
planning that reinforces the existing landscaping and character of the area. Each
new development should contribute to the character identified for the village.
The development, as stipulated, will be one of the first projects to implement the
pedestrian oriented streetscape character envisioned by the Four Corners Overlay
District. These character elements include: sidewalks that are well-shaded, wide, and
well-separated from vehicular traffic; parking areas that are well screened from the
street; and well-shaded parking lot areas.
BUILD THE SUSTAINABLE DESERT CITY CORE VALUE; TREES AND SHADE;
DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Integrate trees and shade into the design of new
development and redevelopment projects throughout Phoenix.
The proposal, as stipulated, will be required to provide shade along the adjacent
sidewalks, pedestrian paths connecting the development to adjacent streets, bus stop
pad and the parking lot area. This will help to encourage walking and to mitigate the
urban heat island effect by covering hard surfaces, thus cooling the micro-climate
around the project vicinity.

Background/Issues/Analysis
1.
This request is to rezone approximately 1.29 acres located at the northwest corner
of 25th Street and Broadway Road for a Special Permit to allow a mortuary and all
Staff Report: Z-SP-2-20-8
May 5, 2020

underlying C-2 (Intermediate Commercial) uses. There is an existing building on
the site and the applicant intends to reuse the existing structure.
The subject site is located in two regulatory overlay districts that apply to the
property: the Four Corner Overlay District (FCOD), described in Background Item
Nos. 6 and 7; and the Rio Salado Interim Overlay District (RSIOD), described in
Background Item No. 8.
The proposed use, mortuary, is permitted with a Special Permit under the Four
Corner Overlay District. Further, there is also an expanded procedure that requires
applications for Special Permits be forwarded to the Target Area B Advisory
Committee and the Community Excellence Project Board for review and comment
prior to review by the South Mountain Village Planning Committee.
2.
To the north of the subject site are single-family residential homes zoned R-3
FCOD RSIOD (Multifamily Residence District, Four Corners Overlay District, Rio
Salado Interim Overlay District).
To the west of the subject site are Figure A. Site Context and Surrounding Land Uses
several vacant lots zoned C-2
FCOD RSIOD (Intermediate
Commercial, Four Corners Overlay
District, Rio Salado Interim Overlay
District).
To the south of the subject site is a
vacant lot and a structure that was
formerly home of the Community
Excellence Project. These sites are
zoned C-2 and R-3 (Intermediate
Commercial and Multifamily
Residence District) and are within Source: Planning and Development Department
the FCOD SPVTABDO (Four
Corners Overlay District, South Phoenix Village and Target Area B Design
Overlay). To the east of the subject site and across 25th Street is a boxing and
fitness club zoned R-5 FCOD RSIOD (Multifamily Residential District, Four
Corners Overlay District, Rio Salado Interim Overlay District).
3.
The General Plan Land Use Map designation for the subject site is Commercial. All
adjacent properties and those within the immediate area are also designated
Commercial on the General Plan Land Use Map.

The applicant is proposing to repurpose an existing building into a mortuary with a
new parking area located to the west.
The site plan
proposes 25 parking
spaces, bike racks,
enhanced landscape
treatments, enhanced
sidewalks, and a
serenity garden.

5.
In 2019, rezoning case Z-SP-5-19-8 was submitted for the subject site, requesting
a Special Permit to allow a mortuary and underlying uses permitted in the C-2
zoning district. In late 2019, case Z-SP-5-19-8 was withdrawn by the applicant
prior to the City Council hearing. In March 5, 2020 the Planning Commission
approved an initiation of the subject Special Permit request.
PLANS AND POLICIES
6.
Four Corners Overlay District
The Four Corners Overlay District (FCOD) applies to the area depicted on Figure
D and includes the subject site.
Staff Report: Z-SP-2-20-8
May 5, 2020
Page 7 of 14
Figure D. Four Corners Overlay District
Source: Planning and Development Department
Purpose and Intent:
• The purpose for the overlay is to formalize and define development standards
to aid in the development and planning of projects within the historic section of
the City known as the Four Corners.
• The goal is to create a pedestrian friendly environment and tie the “Four
Corners” at the intersection of 24th Street and Broadway Road together
through unique design elements.
• It is intended to provide the Four Corners with new and distinct neighborhood
commercial developments that will define and unify the community and
enhance the gateway to the South Mountain Village and the redevelopment
areas of Target Area B and South Phoenix Village.
The FCOD expands upon the base zoning districts in the following ways:
• Use Restrictions: To ensure compatibility and appropriate design review,
certain uses are subject to a Special Permit; one of the uses subject to a
Special Permit is a mortuary.
• Height, Yard and Area Requirements: Specific standards apply to property
within the FCOD including a build-to line, landscape standards, and
enhanced pedestrian standards.
Staff Report: Z-SP-2-20-8
May 5, 2020
Page 8 of 14
• Parking Requirements: Specific parking standards and restrictions on the
maximum number of spaces permitted.
• Design Standards: Design standards tailored to creating a pedestrian
oriented environment.
7.
Per the content, purpose, and intent of the FCOD, staff recommends the following
stipulations be included in the request.
Along Broadway Road:
a. A ten-foot sidewalk detached from the curb by a minimum six-foot-wide
landscape strip and a minimum eight-foot-wide landscape strip on the north
side of the sidewalk. Three-inch caliper trees planted along both sides of the
sidewalk and placed 20-feet on center or in equivalent groupings. This is
addressed in Stipulation No. 1.
b. A minimum of 75 percent shade be provided to the bus stop located on
Broadway Road. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 3.
Along 25th Street:
a. A sidewalk detached from the curb by a minimum five-foot-wide landscape
strip planted with three-inch caliper trees placed 20-feet on center or in
equivalent groupings. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 2.
On the site, generally:
a. A minimum of 50 percent of the surface parking areas shall be shaded to
increase thermal comfort and decrease the urban heat island effect in the
area. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 5.
b. The provision of at least two inverted-U bicycle racks near building entries.
This is addressed in Stipulation No. 6.
c. A minimum of 15 percent of the site area be developed as usable
hardscape or landscaped open space such as the proposed “serenity
garden”.
8.
Rio Salado Interim Overlay District
The subject site is located within the Rio Salado Interim Overlay District. 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 development advances the intent of the
overlay through enhanced site development standards.

South Phoenix Village Target Area B Design Overlay
The South Phoenix
Village Target Area B
Design Overlay
applies to the area
depicted on Figure F
but does not include
the subject site;
however, it applies
immediately south of
Broadway Road.
Figure F. South Phoenix Village Target Area B Design Overlay
Source: Planning and Development Department
The overlay is intended to address “concerns regarding one and two dwelling units
per lot residential development.” Based on the proposed use and location, the
district does not apply to the rezoning request. However, the FCOD specifically
requires that applicants consult the Target Area B Advisory Committee prior to a
hearing before the Village Planning Committee.
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 frontages should be detached from
Staff Report: Z-SP-2-20-8
May 5, 2020
Page 10 of 14
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 is recommending stipulations including detached and shaded sidewalks along
both Broadway Road and 25th Street with enhanced landscape planting standards
and enhanced tree plantings to shade the parking areas. These are addressed in
Stipulation Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4.
11. 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 stipulations to
require detached and shaded sidewalks as described in the previous sections and
bicycle racks to facilitate multimodal transportation. These are addressed in
Stipulation Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 6.
12. 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.

Greetings Ms. Conner,
I tried to attend the virtual neighborhood meeting provided by phone on May 1 at 9am. According to my phone log, I
called at 9, 9:02, 9:03, 9:08 and 9:09 am. Due to continuous messages stating the line was busy, I could only leave a
message. Messages were left with a personal cell number for contact. However, I did not receive a return call. During my
efforts to connect, I received a text from Ms. Brunson stating there were only 6‐8 lines available, thus the reason for the
busy message. You also missed calls from Pastor Trotter and Betty Ware. We were not put on hold for discussion like
Former Councilman Michael Johnson and Ms. Twanna Brunson.
In regards to your inquiry, the position on the granting of a special permit is the same. Community Excellence Project
(CEP) supports the South Phoenix Village (SPV). residents on not approving the special permit request. Since the
creation of CEP in 1990, the goal is revitalization of SPV and to date through the City of Phoenix and various Foundations
over 60 million dollars has been invested in the area. It requires a lot of money to revitalize an undeveloped low and
moderate inner city neighborhood.
We worked with the residents of South Phoenix Village and City Staff to create Section 660 ‐ Four Corners Overlay
District under the City of Phoenix Zoning Ordinance to encourage the development of neighborhood serving retail uses
and limited community serving uses. The residents are not focused on the race of business owners, rather the interest is
retail businesses, community and human services as detailed in the Four Corners Plan.
The residents will continue to support the enforcement of Section 660 under the City of Phoenix Ordinance to achieve
the level of desired services in South Phoenix Village. As CEP exists for the revitalization of that area through input and
approval of its residents, we shall not go against their decisions.
The focus of Community Excellence Project is separate and apart from the Broadway Heritage Neighborhood
Association. From 1990‐2019 the organization resided in the old fire station directly across from your building on the
corner of 25th and Broadway. In July, 2019 we demolish the building and relocated to the Brooks Community Center.
The location of the old fire station and the Broadway Heritage Center is in Block One of the Four Corners Plan. I gave you
a copy of the plan at the community meeting held at your location in February.
Now, we are once again faced with this issue. Community Excellence Project is focused on strategic planning for the
development of Block One and maintaining the goals established in the Four Corner Plan for Blocks 2, 3 and 4. It is our
understanding your request will go through the South Mountain Village and City Planning Committees and City Council.
We will also submit a response of nonsupport for the Special Permit to these entities.
COMMUNITY EXCELLENCE PROJECT

It would be great to work with you and the community on the development of a different business at your location for
your benefit and South Phoenix Village. I am quite sure the residents are willing to work with you on the creation of a
favorable neighborhood retail use.
As we navigate through these challenging times, please stay aware, safe and healthy. Wishing you and your family all the
best.
Kindest regards,
Gail Q. Knight

I hope this communication finds you well, remaining safe, and in good health. I notice that you did not attend this
morning's neighborhood meeting. I wanted to extend to you the opportunity to talk at your convenience, anytime. I do
understand that you may have some questions or concerns. I would like to give you time to voice any concern and ask all

Rezoning Request Z-SP-2-20-8 or Z-SP-2-20

Good morning all,
The following comments are in reference to the attached letter and permit application.
I called into the “public meeting” approximately two minutes prior to 9am. Shortly after 9 am, I was advised by Jeff Stephens that they could only have 6-8 people on
the line. At that point I inquired how many letters were sent out; I was advised 116 letters were sent out. My next question was why would they use a line where they
could only have 6-8 people on the line; the response was “it is all the City requires”. I then inquired why I hadn’t received the letter since I reside less than a block
away. I was told they only sent the letters to residents within 350 feet of the property line and some letters may have only been sent to the owners of apartments, not
the renters. I found that interesting since I was forwarded the letter by a resident that lives outside of the radius Mr. Stephens stated. I have numerous messages from
residents via text message and online, who advised they were placed on hold, received a busy signal, etc that were unable to get through to join the call to state their
opposition of this permit. At the last meeting I attended about this matter, it was stated by one of the few supporters that attended that the “community doesn’t care”,
because they are not here to show support or oppose. It is absolutely unacceptable to be told that the community is not engaged and we continue to show that we care
about the future of our community. This is not the first time residents opposing this matter have encountered issues surrounding a meeting conducted by the applicant.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns about this sham of a “public meeting.
Regards,
Twanna Brunson

Hello,
My name is Florence Williams and I am sending you this e-mail in
regards to support for the Project. I attended the meeting last week
and I feel this will be beneficial for the community.
When people are not aware of how this can help they will cast their
negative feedback instead to getting more information about such
projects.
Thank you in advance.

I am now emailing my support for the Kenia Conner mortuary project. I tried to call in this
past Friday and the phone line was tied up and it took me 2 calls and waiting to show my
support. I assume the other side was trying to tie up the telephone line so the supporters could
not through an old tactic at best. I did finally get through so no complaint here.

Rose"s Funeral Service on 25th Street and Broadway
Date:
Monday, May 4, 2020 2:27:49 PM
To Whom It May Concern:
I live on 25th Street and Marguerite Avenue. When I stand in my front yard, front door, I'm
facing the old Keys Community Center. With that being said, my family and I would welcome
Rose's Funeral Service. We've lived here for over 40 years and would welcome the
opportunity for our community to really develop. Our community deserve good schools,
grocery stores, police, fire departments and a Funeral Services.
My front door faces Rose's Funeral Service and we stand with Kenia Conner.
I've been to most of the meetings regarding this and as of today I haven't heard one legitimate
reason for opposing this idea. What I've heard is old superstitions (no real reason) which is no
reason to stop progress.
Let us all be positive about change.

I am writing in support of this project. I feel that this corner desperately need this project, this
building has been vacant way to long and this corner is a eye sore. No way is it helping property
values by being this way.
