ADDENDUM A 
Staff Report 
Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment 
Z-TA-6-24-7
December 31, 2024 
Application No. Z-TA-6-24-7: Amend Section 1202.B. (Downtown Code, Regulating 
Maps, Height Map) of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance to amend the Downtown Code 
Height Map from a maximum height of 30 feet to a maximum height of 250 feet and 
amend Section 1202.C. (Downtown Code, Regulating Maps, Density Map) of the 
Phoenix Zoning Ordinance to amend the Downtown Code Density Map from 14.5 
maximum dwelling units per acre to 218 maximum dwelling units per acre, for an area 
bounded by Adams Street to the north, 7th Avenue to east, Jefferson Street to the 
south, and 8th Avenue to the west. 
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of Z-TA-6-24-7 as shown in the 
recommended text in Exhibit A. 
Background 
The purpose of this addendum is to revise section numbers and the existing text and 
maps in the Downtown Code to reflect the recent update from Text Amendment No. Z-
TA-5-22-4-7-8, which was approved by City Council on December 4, 2024. Relevant 
updates to the Downtown Code from that amendment include revisions to section 
numbers and associated language. Therefore, this addendum will update the proposed 
language (Exhibit A) to reflect the new section numbers being amended and the new 
existing maps that are being replaced, in addition to unchanged text. There are no new 
changes to the proposed height or density. Staff recommends approval of Z-TA-6-24-7, 
as shown in Exhibit A of the staff report.
