The proposal, as stipulated, will contribute to a pattern of horizontal mixed-use near a 
light rail station in a manner consistent with the ReinventPHX Solano Transit Oriented 
Development Policy Plan. The addition of residential dwellings and commercial uses 
will support ridership on the light rail while offering its residents and patrons an 
affordable mode of transportation.  
 
CELEBRATE OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS CORE 
VALUE; HEALTHY NEIGHBORHOODS; DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Establish design 
standards and guidelines for parking lots and structures, setback and build-to 
lines, blank wall space, shade, and other elements affecting pedestrians, to 
encourage pedestrian activity and identify options for providing pedestrian-
oriented design in different types of development.  
 
The proposal, as stipulated and per WU Code standards, includes design and 
development standards to encourage walking, bicycling, and transit use. These 
standards include a shaded streetscape, building frontages with access to public 
sidewalks, parking situated away from the public street, and on-site amenities.  
 
CONNECT PEOPLE AND PLACES CORE VALUE; BICYCLES; DESIGN 
PRINCIPLE: Development should include convenient bicycle parking.  
 
The proposal, as stipulated and per the WU Code standards, includes bicycle facilities 
to encourage bicycling and transit use to leverage its proximity to the light rail station. 
Features include secure bicycle parking for residents and/or convenient racks for 
guests, and a bicycle repair station for residents. 
 
BUILD THE SUSTAINABLE DESERT CITY CORE VALUE; DESIGN PRINCIPLE:  
Integrate trees and shade into the design of new development and 
redevelopment projects throughout Phoenix.  
 
The proposal, as stipulated, will create shaded and detached sidewalks along both 
19th Avenue and Montebello Avenue and these sidewalks will be shaded to 75 
percent. These improvements will serve to create comfortable pedestrian 
environments along two streets leading directly to a light rail station. 
 
CONNECT PEOPLE AND PLACES CORE VALUE; OPPORTUNITY SITES; LAND 
USE PRINCIPLE: Promote and encourage compatible development and 
redevelopment with a mix of housing types in neighborhoods close to 
employment centers, commercial areas, and where transit or transportation 
alternatives exist.

Background/Issues/Analysis 
 
SUBJECT SITE 
1. 
This request is to rezone 12.40 acres located at the southeast corner of 19th 
Avenue and Montebello Avenue from C-2 TOD-1 (Intermediate Commercial, 
Interim Transit-Oriented Zoning Overlay District One) to WU Code T5:6 SL 
(Walkable Urban Code, Transect 5:6 District, Transit Solano Character Area) to 
allow mixed-use, commercial and residential uses. 
 
The site is owned by the City of Phoenix and contains a park and ride and bus 
transit facilities. Once the site is rezoned, the City of Phoenix will issue a Request 
for Proposal (RFP) that will enable the site to be redeveloped in accordance with 
the Walkable Urban Code zoning district standards and supporting stipulations.

3. 
Transit Oriented Development Strategic Policy Framework: 
The Transit Oriented Development Strategic Policy Framework is part of the city’s 
General Plan which identified planning typologies to describe urban environments. 
The subject site is approximately 130 feet from the Montebello Avenue/19th 
Avenue light rail station. The identified place type for the Montebello Avenue/19th 
Avenue light rail station area is a Medium Urban Center. The Medium Urban 
Center is a place type characterized by a variety of land uses, medium intensity 
with building heights typically from three to six stories with incentive heights of up 
to 10 stories. Land uses may include residential, retail destination and office 
employment. Stipulation No. 2 provides for a maximum height of 56 feet without 
the incentive and 80 feet with the incentive, making the scale of the proposed 
zoning district consistent with this Place Type. The Medium Urban Center Place 
Type also calls for a balance of commercial and residential, retail and 
entertainment, and mid-rise living. Staff recommends Stipulation No. 3, which 
requires a vertical mix of land uses and a minimum of 5,000 square feet of non-
residential uses adjacent to the street frontages, to be consistent with the Place 
Type.

4. 
Solano Transit Oriented Development Policy Plan:  
The site is located within the Solano TOD Planning Area. The policy plan adopted 
for the Solano TOD District provides a blueprint for fully achieving the 
transformative potential of light rail in a sustainable manner. Changes advocated in 
the plan can lower transportation costs for residents, create new business 
opportunities, encourage active, healthy lifestyles, ensure Phoenix increases its 
competitive advantage in the global marketplace, and improve prosperity by 
growing the economy in locations with existing infrastructure and public services. 
 
In addition, the Solano TOD District Plan provides for the proceeding guidance as 
associated to the subject site.  
• Land Use Element (page 38). The site is within an area designated for 
“Redevelop” on the Investment Opportunities Map, meaning that reinvestment is 
appropriate on the site ranging from pedestrian improvements to the addition of 
units. 
• Housing Element (pages 41 and 42). The site is within a larger area (Bethany 
Home Road to Camelback Road, 15th Avenue to 19th Avenue) that needs 2,328 
additional housing units by 2035. The Investment Opportunity Map also depicts 
SUBJECT SITE

Staff Report: Z-83-25-4

the site as “Mixed Use” with Walkable Urban Mid-Rise Housing cited as a best 
practice.  
• Health Element (pages 49 and 50). The Health section depicts this site as being 
steps away from healthy food, recreation access, and as having issues 
pertaining to sidewalk quality, continuity, and traffic speed. The plan also notes 
the site as an opportunity for a full service grocery.  
• Green Systems Element (page 58). The Investment Opportunities Map 
identifies 19th Avenue and Montebello Avenue as an opportunity site and notes 
green parking and green civic space as a best practice. The proposed rezoning 
to the Walkable Urban Code would implement the Solano Streetscape 
Standards which include detached and shaded sidewalks, and include public 
open space. 
• Staff recommends Stipulation Nos. 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9 to require certain street 
frontage types, that south of the transit center shall be treated as a secondary 
frontage, that the northwest corner of the building incorporate enhanced 
architectural design, and for two required pedestrian accessways through the 
site, with a public plaza along 19th Avenue.

PROPOSAL 
6.  
Development plans have not been prepared as this time. Once the rezoning is 
approved, the City of Phoenix will release an RFP which will outline the City’s 
requirements for the redevelopment of the sites. Per recommended Stipulation No. 
1, once a successful candidate has been selected and the preliminary site plan and 
elevations have been created, the plans will be presented to the Alhambra Village 
Planning Committee for review and comment prior to preliminary site plan 
approval. 
 
 
AREA PLANS, OVERLAY DISTRICTS, AND INITATIVES  
7. 
Monarch Butterfly Pledge: 
In April 2021, Mayor Kate Gallego signed the National Wildlife Federation’s 
Mayor’s Monarch Pledge. This pledge commits the city to take action to support 
the monarch butterfly population. In the United States, loss of milkweed habitat is a 
major factor in the decline of the monarchs. Arizona has at least 29 species of 
milkweed native to the state. Adult monarchs feed on the nectar of many flowers, 
but they breed only where milkweeds are found. To support the monarch butterfly 
population, Stipulation No. 16 addresses the planting of milkweed shrubs, or other 
native nectar plant species, on the subject site.   
 
 
8. 
Community Safety Plans:  
In 2022, the City Council approved two pilot projects to address community safety 
through a multidepartment, collaborative manner leveraging technology as well as 
community-based resources. The Neighborhood Services, Police, Street 
Transportation, and Parks and Recreation departments, along with the Office of 
Homeless Solutions, Public Health Adviser, and Prosecutor’s Office, are working 
together to improve the safety and quality of life along 19th Avenue, 27th Avenue, 
Hatcher Road, and the I-17 freeway. To support these efforts, the Planning and 
Development Department promotes Crime Prevention Through Environmental 
Design (CPTED) principles to enhance neighborhood safety in these Community 
Safety Plan areas. The subject site is located within a Community Safety Plan 
(CSP) area, thus staff recommends Stipulation No. 8 regarding balconies along 
street frontages or other alternative features to activate the frontage and provide 
natural surveillance. 
 
 
 
9. 
Shade Phoenix Plan: 
In November 2024, the Phoenix City Council adopted the Shade Phoenix Plan. 
The Shade Phoenix Plan prioritizes increasing shade coverage throughout the 
City to improve health and quality of life. Investing in shade can address the urban

heat island effect, clean the air, preserve Sonoran vegetation, and prevent health 
complications related to prolonged exposure to heat. The Shade Phoenix Plan 
provides numerous strategies to increase shade including expanding and 
maintaining existing shade, strengthening tree code enforcement, and developing 
shade stipulations in rezoning cases. The proposal will provide enhanced shade in 
surface parking areas. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 13. 
 
 
10. 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, pedestrians, transit, and vehicles. The proposal as stipulated, will support 
walking, bicycling, and transit-use by including bicycle parking on the site, by 
including a bicycle repair (fix it) station to help patrons keep their bikes in a state of 
good repair, by constructing shaded and detached sidewalks along 19th Avenue 
and Montebello Avenue, including pedestrian walkways where they cross vehicular 
drive aisles, and other general street and sidewalk improvements. These are 
addressed in Stipulation Nos. 9, 10, and 17 through 21. 
 
 
11. Housing Phoenix Plan:  
In June 2020, the Phoenix City Council approved the Housing Phoenix Plan. This 
Plan contains policy initiatives for the development and preservation of housing 
with the vision of creating a stronger and more vibrant Phoenix through increased 
housing options for residents at all income levels and family sizes. Phoenix’s rapid 
population growth and housing underproduction has led to a need for additional 
new housing units. Current shortages of housing supply relative to demand are a 
primary reason why housing costs are increasing.  
 
The proposal supports the Plan’s goal of preserving or creating 50,000 housing 
units by 2030 by providing housing that will address the supply shortage at a more 
rapid pace while using vacant or underutilized land in a more sustainable fashion. 
 
 
12. Zero Waste 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’s submittals indicated that the City will work 
with the developer to determine measures for waste diversion once a project is 
proposed.

13. 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 Nos. 10.d. 
and 11 which requires a minimum of 10% of the provided bicycle parking shall 
include standard electrical receptacles for electric bicycle parking and a minimum 
of 5% of the required parking spaces to be EV Installed. 
 
 
14. 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. As stipulated, the proposal will provide a bicycle repair station and 
bicycle parking spaces will be provided per the requirements of Section 1307.H. of 
the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 10. 
 
 
15. 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. 12, which requires a minimum of two 
techniques for stormwater management to be implemented in this proposal.

16. 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 15. 
 
COMMUNITY CORRESPONDENCE 
17. As of the writing of this report, no community correspondence was received by staff 
regarding this request. 
 
 
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS 
18. The Street Transportation required a contribution for the traffic control device on 
Montebello Avenue between 15th Avenue and 19th Avenue, that all improvements 
be constructed and/or funded per the forthcoming Traffic Impact Analysis, that the 
landscaping be replenished along Montebello Avenue, that any street 
improvements required be constructed by the developer with all required elements 
and to ADA accessibility standards. These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 17
