Staff Report 
Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment 
Z-TA-1-20-8 
August 25, 2020 
 
Application No. Z-TA-1-20-8: Amend Section 1202.D. (Regulating Maps, Density Map) 
of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance to replace the Downtown Code Density Map to amend 
density provisions from 218 maximum dwelling units per acre to No Density Limit at the 
southeast corner of 6th Street and Garfield Street and amend Section 1214.B. (Evans 
Churchill East, Development Standards) to allow for a height bonus up to ten percent 
and to increase the maximum lot coverage south of Garfield Street from 50 percent to 
90 percent. 
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of Z-TA-1-20-8 as shown in the 
recommended text in Exhibit A. 
 
Background 
This request is to amend the following: 
• Allowable density to no density limit  
• Allow for a height bonus to increase 
height up to 10 percent  
• Increase the maximum lot coverage to 
90 percent south of Garfield Street  
The proposed development is located at the 
southeast corner of 6th Street and Garfield 
Street in the Evans Churchill East Character 
Area. The Evans Churchill East Character 
Area is primarily intended to be a continuously 
evolving arts-oriented mixed-use community 
where new mixed-use development shares 
space with old bungalows and historic homes, 
and new live-work units provide additional 
commercial spaces to cater to the needs of 
artists. The site is located south of Garfield 
Street, which is a part of the Evans Churchill 
East Character Area bordered by the Bio Med Character Area to the south and west. 
The area bordered by Garfield Street to the north, 6th Street to the west, McKinley

Street to the south and 7th Street to the east serves as an area for transition between 
the higher scale and intensity envisioned for the Bio Med Character Area and the 
lower-scale arts-oriented community and historic bungalows north of Garfield Street in 
the Evans Churchill East Character Area.   
The subject site is currently vacant. To the north, 
across Garfield Street, is an APS substation. To 
the east are two multifamily buildings and a single-
family residence. To the south is a single-family 
residence. To the west, across 6th Street, is a 
vacant lot proposed to be a temporary parking lot 
for the Arizona State University Phoenix 
Biomedical Campus Innovation Center under 
construction at 5th Street and Garfield.  
The current regulating maps of the Downtown 
Code permit a maximum density of 218 dwelling 
units per acre and maximum height of 250 feet on 
the proposed development site, as shown in 
Figure C below. The current maximum density 
and height was determined by the previous 
zoning, R-5 HRI (Multifamily Residence District, 
High Rise and Mixed-Use District), prior to the adoption of the Downtown Code in 2010. 
The properties surrounding the subject site are also permitted a maximum density of 
218 dwelling units per acre and maximum height of 250 feet. The current development 
standards of the Evans Churchill East Character area permit a maximum lot coverage of 
50 percent with the option to increase to 100 percent using the sustainability bonus 
provisions.

Background: Urban Form Project and the Downtown Code 
The Downtown Urban Form Project was initiated 
in 2006. The Downtown Phoenix Plan is a product 
of the Downtown Phoenix Urban Form Project 
and was prepared to provide direction for 
implementation of the community vision for an 
active, pedestrian-oriented and sustainable 
Downtown. The Downtown Phoenix Plan was 
adopted by City Council in 2008 and served as a 
precursor to the Downtown Code, adopted in 
2010, which is now Chapter 12 of the Phoenix 
Zoning Ordinance.  
The site is included in the Bio Med Character 
Area in the Downtown Phoenix Plan and was 
then included in the Evans Churchill East 
Character Area when the Downtown Code was 
adopted. The vision for how the Bio Med 
Character Area will develop as listed in the Downtown Phoenix Plan is as a major 
educational, medical and technological employment center. The Bio Med Character 
Area will be a key economic engine in Downtown, in an increasingly high-tech Arizona. 
It was envisioned to be a high-tech hub surrounded by comfortable pedestrian-oriented 
streets that connects workers, researchers, and students to restaurants, shops and 
galleries in the arts-oriented Evans Churchill neighborhood, and to the fine dining,

music, sports, and convention venues in the Business Core (pg. 3-33). The Downtown 
Phoenix Plan lists two policies that address specific issues or opportunities unique to 
the planning area. The two policies for the Bio Med Character Area are: 
Policy 3-28: Maintain the existing block structure and street grid between Garfield 
and Fillmore Streets.  
Policy 3-29: Develop height transition strategies to ensure compatibility between 
new high-rise and high-density development south of Garfield Street and the 
bungalow row north of Garfield Street.  
Staff Analysis 
Density 
The proposal to increase the allowable density to no density limit is consistent with the 
Walkable Urban Code applicability. As part of the Reinvent PHX project, the Walkable 
Urban Code was adopted by City Council in 2015 as a new urban and transit-oriented 
zoning code. The code regulates development in proximity to light rail stations and is 
Chapter 13 of the City of Phoenix Zoning Ordinance. The Walkable Urban Code is a 
zoning option applicable to properties outside of the Downtown Code that are within the 
Transit Oriented District Policy Plan areas typically encompassing a half-mile radius 
around station locations. The subject site is located approximately 0.46 miles from the 
Roosevelt/Central Avenue light rail station. If the project was not within the Downtown 
Code zoning district, the Walkable Urban Code applicability may have been extended to 
include the subject site and would allow the physical form, building design, and lot 
standards to dictate the allowable density on the site without the need to specify a 
maximum allowable density. The site is also located within walking distance of the 
Phoenix Biomedical Campus. Increasing the scale and intensity for projects in this area 
is also consistent with the General Plan transit-oriented development goals and 
principles which are to ensure that downtown housing is dense, and to encourage high-
density housing and high intensity employment uses located adjacent or close to transit 
stations.

Lot Coverage 
The request to increase lot coverage to 90 percent south of Garfield Street and maintain 
the 50 percent lot coverage north of Garfield Street contributes to the transitional nature 
of the site, as it is bordered by Bio Med Character Area which allows for 100 percent 
maximum lot coverage. Further, the request would allow for the option to increase lot 
coverage by using the sustainability bonus point provisions in the Downtown Code 
which requires projects to include community benefits in the site design.  
Height  
The request does not increase the height allowed in the Evans Churchill East Character 
Area by right, rather it creates the opportunity for projects to achieve more height by 
providing community benefits through sustainability bonus points. The proposal to 
increase the allowable height by a sustainability bonus provision is consistent with the 
Downtown Phoenix Plan policies and provides for a public benefit that is sensitive to the 
surrounding area.

The proposed amendment meets the policies in 
the Downtown Phoenix Plan for the Evans 
Churchill East Character Area.  
Policy 3-29: Develop height transition 
strategies to ensure compatibility between 
new high-rise and high-density 
development south of Garfield Street and 
the bungalow row north of Garfield Street.  
The proposed amendment is to allow for a height 
increase up to 10 percent for sites south of 
Garfield Street. The proposal would create a more 
appropriate height transition from properties in the 
adjacent Bio Med Character Area to the south 
with significantly higher height designations and 
the height designations north of Garfield Street. A 
height transition strategy south of Garfield Street 
developed by the proposed text amendment 
provides the opportunity for projects to incorporate community benefits through the 
Downtown Code's sustainability bonus point system. 
Conclusion 
Staff recommends approval of Z-TA-1-20-8 to amend the density map and Evans 
Churchill East Character Area text as shown in Exhibit A of the staff report.  
The proposal for additional density and option for more lot coverage and height is 
warranted given the proposed development’s proximity to the Bio Med Character Area 
and public transit. The proposal is in line with the policies of the Downtown Phoenix 
Plan, the General Plan, and transit-oriented development goals and principles. The 
sustainability bonus option develops a height and lot coverage transition strategy for the 
area south of Garfield Street and offers community benefits in exchange for the option 
for additional height and lot coverage.
