Background/Issues/Analysis 
 
1. 
This is a request to rezone 19.87 acres located at the southwest corner of 
Interstate 17 and Dixileta Drive from 18.46 acres of C-2 (Intermediate 
Commercial) and 1.41 acres of R-3A (Multifamily Residence District) to R1-6 
(Single-Family Residence District) for single-family residential development.

Page 4 of 12 
 
 
The proposal also includes a request to rezone 118.41 acres of R1-18 (Single-
Family Residence District) to R1-18 (Single-Family Residence District) for use as 
dedicated open space.  This area of the site is commonly known as Middle 
Mountain.

SURROUNDING USES AND ZONING 
2. 
The subject site is vacant as is the surrounding area.  The areas to the north and 
west are zoned S-1 (Ranch or Farm Residence).  The area to the east, across 
Interstate 17 is zoned PCD NBCOD (Planning Community District, North Black 
Canyon Overlay District).  To the south and east is zoned R-3A (Multifamily 
Residence District) and R-3 (Multifamily Residence District) and is planned for 
single-family residential development.

3. 
The current General Plan 
Land Use Map 
designations for the 
requested R1-6 portion of 
the subject site are 
Preserves / Mixed Use 
(Areas C and D only) and 
Mixed Use (North Gateway 
and Northwest Area only).  
The Mixed Use (Areas C, 
D and Northwest Area 
Only) land use designation 
accommodates Commerce 
Park, Industrial, 
Commercial and 
Public/Quasi-Public type 
land uses.  The proposed 
single-family residential 
use is not consistent with 
this designation; therefore, 
a companion General Plan 
Amendment has been 
filed.   
 
An amendment for a land  
use map designation of  
Residential 3.5 to 5 dwelling  
units per acre is being  
processed concurrently through GPA-NG-1-19-1.  
This General Plan Amendment request also 
encompasses the remainder of the 
proposed  
residential development to the south of 
the R1-6 area. 
 
The current General Plan Land Use Map 
designations for the R1-18 portion of the 
subject site are Preserves / 0 to 1 or 1 to 2 
dwelling units per acre, Parks / Open 
Space – Future 1 dwelling unit per acre, 
Preserves / Floodplain and Preserves / 
Mixed Use (Areas C and D only).  These 
designations are consistent with the 
proposed intent to preserve this area as 
dedicated open space.

NORTH BLACK CANYON CORRIDOR PLAN 
4. 
The project site is located within the North Black Canyon Corridor (NBCC) which 
is one of the city's premier growth areas. Located along both the east and west 
sides of Interstate 17, the North Black Canyon Corridor stretches from Happy 
Valley Road to the northern city limits. The North Black Canyon Corridor Plan is 
applicable to this area. The proposal is consistent with the intent of the following 
goals:  
 
Goal 2: Achieve a balance between employment and housing.  
The requested rezoning contributes to a mixture of uses in the area by providing 
additional housing choices in close proximity to a Major Employment Center.   
 
Goal 4: Preserve North Sonoran Desert amenities and use these features to 
define community form and identity.   
The proposal incorporates preservation of over 100 acres of natural desert that 
has been identified as a future Sonoran Preserve area. 
 
 
 
NORTH BLACK CANYON MAJOR EMPLOYMENT CENTER 
5. 
The North Black Canyon 
employment center 
extends north from Happy 
Valley Road to Carefree 
Highway and east from 
Interstate 17 to the 19th 
Avenue alignment.  The 
area is an emerging 
employment center that 
contains a mix of 
development including 
office, regional retail, 
commerce park and 
residential.  The proposal 
for single-family residential 
Major Employment Centers, Source: City of Phoenix

at this location contributes to providing more housing choices for those who work 
in the area.  
 
 
PROPOSAL  
6. 
The applicant is proposing 82 
single-family residential 
dwelling units (Parcel D) with 
primary access off Dixileta 
Drive.  The rezoning request 
area is a part of a larger 
planned single-family 
development that encompasses 
228 lots (Parcels B and C) 
along Interstate 17 from Dixileta 
Drive on the north to the 
Central Arizona Project canal 
on the south.   
 
The western portion of the 
rezoning area (Parcel A) is 
natural hillside area.  This area 
has been identified as a future 
priority area for the Sonoran 
Preserve.  As such, the 
applicant intends to convey this 
property to the City of Phoenix 
for use as a desert park or 
mountain preserve.  A 
stipulation requiring the 
completion of this conveyance 
prior to final site plan approval 
of the residential subdivision is contained in Stipulation No. 1. 
 
 
7. 
Elevations for the proposed single-family residences were not submitted as part 
of the rezoning request.  In order to ensure quality development that is consistent 
with the character of the area, staff is recommending a stipulation requiring 
administrative review of the conceptual elevations prior to approval of the single-
family design review diversity exhibit for the project.  The administrative review 
will ensure inclusion of building materials and colors consistent with a desert 
environment; enhanced architectural detailing; covered porches or courtyards; 
and decorative garage treatments.  This requirement is addressed in Stipulation 
No. 2.

8. 
To provide consistency and compatibility with other residential development in the 
vicinity, staff is recommending several stipulations regarding site design.  
Stipulation No. 4 recommends the use of the plant material recommended in the 
North Black Canyon Overlay District.  Similarly, Stipulation Nos. 6 and 8 
recommend enhanced wall materials, both for perimeter and interior walls of the 
development.  These recommendations will serve to contribute to the established 
character of the area.  
 
 
9. 
Due to the site’s proximity to Interstate 17, staff is recommending that all 
residential structures be set back a minimum of 120 feet from the eastern 
property line to ensure an appropriate buffer is provided to the proposed single-
family residences.  This is addressed in Stipulation No. 7. 
 
 
10. 
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 City of Phoenix offers recycling collection for all 
single-family residences. The provision of recycling containers was not addressed 
in the applicant’s submittals; however, per City Code, the City provides recycling 
containers and services to all single-family residences. 
 
 
11. 
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. A vision in the master plan is to raise awareness by 
leading by example. To accomplish the vision and goal of the policy document, 
Stipulation No. 5 is recommended requiring the development to retain a minimum 
of 20 percent of the site area as open space, exclusive of landscape setbacks, 
washes and the hillside preserve area.  Of this 20 percent open space, a 
minimum of 5 percent is to be provided as active open space and centrally 
located within the development.  
 
 
COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY 
12. 
Staff has received one letter of concern at the time the staff report was written 
from an adjacent property owner.  The letter expressed concern with utility access 
and an existing development agreement.  
 
 
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 
13. 
The Street Transportation Department has indicated that right-of-way dedications 
are required for both Dixileta Drive and the Interstate 17 frontage road for the 
entire rezoning area.  In addition, the applicant will be required to submit a 
Developer Project Information Form for the MAG Transportation Improvement 
Program to the department.  Finally, the developer will be responsible for 
construction of all streets within and adjacent to the development with pavement 
and other incidentals.  These requirements are addressed in Stipulations Nos. 9 
through 12.

14. 
The City of Phoenix Water Services Department has noted the site will require 
water and sewer main extensions.  In addition, due to physical constraints 
surrounding the property, a single water line is planned for the site.  Due to the 
limited water service, the Water Services Department is also recommending a 
restriction on the size of dwelling units in order to ensure adequate water flow.  
This is addressed in Stipulation No. 3, which restricts the maximum building size 
per home to 3,600 square feet. 
 
 
15. 
The 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 0845 L / 1260 L of the Flood Insurance 
Rate Map (FIRM) dated November 10, 2017 / July 20, 2018. 
 
 
16. 
The Fire Department commented that no code issues are anticipated with this 
case and the site and/or buildings shall comply with the Phoenix Fire Code. 
 
17. 
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. 13, 14 and 15. 
 
 
18. 
The City of Phoenix Aviation Department has noted that the site is within the 
Phoenix Deer Valley Airport (DVT) traffic pattern airspace and has requested a 
disclosure statement be completed and a no hazard determination from the FAA 
be provided. These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 16 and 17. 
 
 
OTHER 
19. 
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.

Regarding Z-31-19-1 and GPA-NG-1-19, we wish to table those applications, on behalf of Granite Creek Farms and North 
Valley Assembly of God (Church), having received yesterday an email from Lennar Arizona stating they (Lennar and the 
property owner GM Gabrych Family Limited Partnership) are not purchasing from Granite Creek/Church our Wet Utility 
“single source water service” entitlements, access and proposed wet utility service crossing the CAP for Middle 
Vistas.  Granite Creek retains its Lift Station Deed, Development Agreement rights and any alignment crossing the CAP 
involving Church property. 
 
Unless and until formal notice from us z-31-19-1 and GPA-NG-1-19 as well as WSD and CAP should a forward settlement 
occur with Lennar/Gabrych for Granite Creek and the Church, please do not consider we have given right to proceed or 
entry, access, permitting or proceeding with Zoning, GPA, Wet Utility CAP crossing Church property.  Access for the 
Middle Vistas/Middle Mountain property pursuant to our “Recorded” Development Agreement, this also includes any 
other alignment crossing Church property including wet utility access from the ADOT Frontage Road is not granted, 
things have broken down and there is no agreement with Lennar/Gabrych. 
 
Sincerely,
