Absent: Hu

Opposition Present: Yes.

Findings:

1.
This text amendment is quite extensive due to the need to apply development
regulations consistently for both single-family housing and middle housing, in addition to
making sure that middle housing is permitted where required. All of the revisions
proposed are directly related to changes needed to allow middle housing as required by
A.R.S. Section 9-462.13.

2.
The proposed text amendment will create a Middle Housing (MH) Overlay District;
revise various sections of the Zoning Ordinance to ensure compliance with the
requirements of Section 9-462.13, Arizona Revised Statutes; and revise various
sections of the Zoning Ordinance to correctly clarify and cross-reference the zoning
ordinance terms and provisions which were updated for compliance with the
requirements of the new state law.

Section 507 Tab A. Guidelines for Design Review
Amend Chapter 5, Section 507 Tab A (Guidelines for Design Review) to read as follows:

Section 507 Tab A. Guidelines for Design Review

***

II.
CITY-WIDE DESIGN REVIEW GUIDELINES. The design review guidelines indicated with
the markers (R), (R*), (P), (T), and (C) shall be applied and enforced in the same manner
as indicated in Section 507. Items not indicated with an (R), (R*), (P), (T), and (C) shall be
treated as (R).

***

C.
Subdivision and Single-Family Detached RESIDENTIAL LOT Design Review.

***

8.
Single-Family Detached SUBDIVISION DIVERSITY Design Review. New
single-family detached dwelling units, lots having a single duplex or triplex,
manufactured homes, and modular homes shall be subject to design review
SUBDIVISIONS HAVING AT LEAST TEN PERCENT OF LOTS EQUAL TO
OR LESS THAN 65 FEET IN WIDTH, AND HAVING DETACHED SINGLE-
FAMILY DWELLING UNITS; AND MANUFACTURED AND/OR MODULAR
HOME SUBDIVISIONS REGARDLESS OF LOT WIDTH, ARE SUBJECT
TO DESIGN REVIEW DIVERSITY GUIDELINES 8.1 THROUGH 8.4, as
follows (R):

(a) Single-family detached developments where ten percent or more of
the lots are equal to or less than 65 feet in width shall incorporate
Design Guidelines Sections 8.1 through 8.4.

(b) Individual single-family detached dwelling units, not subject to
Subdivision Design Guidelines 8.1 through 8.4, on a lot or parcel of
65 feet in width or less, shall incorporate Design Guidelines Section
8.5. This requirement includes lots with a single duplex or triplex
when not located in a subdivision subject to Section 507 Tab
A.II.C.8(a).

(c) Dwelling units on lots zoned or designated HP are exempt from the
provisions of Design Guidelines Section 8.5, so long as the plans
are reviewed and approved through historic preservation prior to
issuance of any building permits.

(d) Individual manufactured and modular homes, regardless of lot width,
shall incorporate Design Guidelines Section 8.5.

(e) Manufactured and modular home subdivisions, regardless of lot
width, shall incorporate Design Guidelines Sections 8.1 through 8.4.

The design guidelines in each of the following sections (subdivision design, housing
design, garage treatment, and community safety) must be satisfied in one of two
ways. The first method, called the standard approach, is to meet each of the design
guidelines as written in the following tables. The second method, called the
alternative approach, allows consideration of creative design solutions on a section
by section basis, as long as the intent of that section has been met. Either method
may be used for all or some of the following sections. For example, an applicant
may choose the standard approach for the subdivision design and garage
treatment sections and the alternative approach for the housing design and
community safety sections or the standard approach may be used for all four
sections. Whether the alternative approach is acceptable will be determined by the
design advisor of the Planning and Development Department.

Diversity: The goal of diversity is to provide a variety of subdivision and housing
designs which lend visual interest and distinctive character and identity to the
community. This goal is addressed in two subsections, subdivision design and
housing design.

8.1. Subdivision Design. Provide subdivision designs which address
the goal of diversity by incorporating these or substantially
equivalent design characteristics: 1) Vary the building’s relationship
to the street, 2) Vary the driveway orientation or location, 3) Vary the
relationship between buildings, and 4) Vary street orientation.

Design Guidelines: All are required (R*), unless otherwise noted.

***

8.5. Individual Unit Design Standards. The goal of these individual unit
design standards is to ensure a minimum level of design quality for
detached single-family dwelling units, duplexes, manufactured
homes, and modular homes. For information on relief from
requirements (R) and (R*), and presumptions (P), refer to Section
507.C of the Zoning Ordinance.

(a)
Each dwelling unit shall have at least one covered parking
space located in a garage or under a carport. (R)

(b)
The front yard, excluding areas approved for vehicle access,
should be landscaped with the following elements: (P)

(1)
A minimum of one, two inch caliper or greater,
drought resistant, accent tree.

(2)
A minimum of five, five gallon or greater, drought
resistant shrubs.

(3)
Dustproofed with ground cover, turf, rock,
decomposed granite, or equivalent material as
approved by the Planning and Development
Department.

(4)
An irrigation system.

Rationale: Landscaping contributes to an attractive
environment, provides shade, and contributes to
neighborhood identity.

(c)
Required covered parking shall not be located more than ten
feet closer to the front property line than the front entry. (R*)

Rationale: When parking structures are concentrated in front
of a dwelling unit, the building loses its residential character
and compatibility with surrounding residences is negatively
impacted.

(d)
Walls, fences, and enclosure materials shall not include
chain link fencing with, or without, plastic or metal slats,
sheeting, nondecorative corrugated metal and fencing made
or topped with razor, concertina, or barbed wire. (R*)

(e)
Development of lots with more than one dwelling unit should
provide a single, common access drive to parking areas. (P)

Rationale: Shared access and common parking minimize
unnecessary curb cuts and breaks in the streetscape.
Common parking areas also reduce the paved area of a site.

(f)
All dwelling units should provide the following architectural
design elements: (P)

(1)
Consistent detailing and design for each side of the
building.

(2)
Window and door trim as well as accent detailing
should be incorporated and vary from the primary
color and materials of the building.

(3)
Garage doors should be provided with windows,
raised or recessed panels, architectural trim, or single
doors.

(4)
Materials such as untextured concrete, unfinished
block, steel panels, and shiny or highly reflective
detailing should not be used as a predominant
exterior material.

Rationale: High quality design promotes neighborhood pride
and visual interest in residential architecture.

(g)
Garage doors facing the public street and attached to the
primary dwelling unit should not exceed 50 percent of the
building width. (P)

Rationale: Garage doors should not be the aesthetic focus of
a house; they should complement and appear subordinate to
the main structure. This is particularly important if a duplex or
triplex is constructed.

(h)
A front entry shall be provided that faces and is visible from
the street, and includes an architectural feature to call
attention to it (such as a porch, entry patio, stoop,
awning/canopy, courtyard, or archway). For lots having more
than one dwelling unit, a minimum of one unit shall comply
with this requirement. (R*)

Rationale: Emphasizing the entrance and front facade adds
to the residential character of new dwelling units and
provides eyes on the street.

(i)
Manufactured homes shall provide the following additional
architectural design elements:

(1)
Materials such as wood, hardboard, brick veneer,
hardiplank, stucco, or horizontal vinyl siding shall be
used as a predominant exterior material. (P)

(2)
The exposed roof pitch shall be at a minimum of 3/12
for units 28 feet or less in width and be covered with
shingles, tile or metal, excluding aluminum. (R*)

(3)
A minimum 50-square-foot recessed entry or covered
porch shall be provided along the front entry of the
building. (R*)

(4)
Permanent access to the porch or recessed entry
should be constructed with materials and colors that
are compatible with the dwelling unit. (P)

(5)
A masonry stem wall shall be provided under the
dwelling unit with no more than seven inches of
exposed foundation measured from highest finished
grade. (R*)

(6)
The exposed masonry stem wall color should be
compatible to the dwelling unit. (P)

Rationale: High quality design promotes neighborhood pride
and visual interest in residential architecture for
manufactured homes.

ection 608. Residential Districts
Amend Chapter 6, Section 608 (Residential Districts) to read as follows:

Section 608. Residential Districts.

A.
Purpose. Residential districts are established in recognition of a need to provide areas of
the City devoted primarily to living functions. In order to preserve these areas from the
distractions and adverse impacts which can result from immediate association with
nonresidential uses, these districts are restricted to residential, limited nonresidential uses,
and appropriate accessory uses. These regulations are designed to promote the creation
and maintenance of areas in which individuals or families may pursue residential activities
with reasonable access to open space, and streets or roads, in a setting which is not
negatively impacted by adjacent uses. Limited nonresidential uses may have conditions
placed upon them to limit impact to adjacent residential uses and in some cases require a
public hearing through a use permit or special permit process to mitigate any negative
impacts to surrounding residential uses.

The standards contained in this section and Sections 609 through 619 and 635 are
designed to establish the character of new residential development and also to preserve
the quality of residential uses during their lifetime. When applied to new development,
these standards are designed to be used in conjunction with the development and
improvement standards as contained in the Phoenix Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter 32 of
the City Code.

This section applies to the residential districts in Sections 609 through 619, in addition to
Section 635 (Planned Area Development) when specified.

***

B.
Applicability. THIS SECTION APPLIES TO RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS RE-35, R1-18, R1-
10, R1-8, R1-6, R-2, R-3, R-3A, R-4, R-5, AND R-4A (SECTIONS 609 THROUGH 619),
AND WHERE SPECIFIED IN THE REGULATIONS FOR OTHER ZONING DISTRICTS.
of Development Options. The development of any parcel of land shall be in accordance
with the standards contained in any one development option as contained in Sections 609
through 619. Development of a single lot or a parcel not being further subdivided and
located in the RE-35 and R1-18 zoning districts (Sections 609 and 610) shall be in
accordance with the requirements for the standard subdivision development option (a), as
contained in Sections 609 and 610. For a single lot or parcel not part of a subdivision
platted prior to May 1, 1998, not being further subdivided, and located in the R1-10 through
R-4A zoning districts (Sections 611 through 619), development shall be in accordance with
the requirements of the conventional subdivision option as contained in Sections 611
through 619.

All subsequent development shall be in accordance with the initially selected development
option unless a use permit is obtained. Building on any lot which was subdivided or
developed prior to the adoption of this chapter shall be done in accordance with the
standards under which the initial subdivision or development occurred.

For purposes of conversion to this ordinance, property subdivided prior to May 1, 1998,
shall be considered as follows:

1.
Residential development with a site plan approved in accordance with Section 507
shall be considered under the planned residential development option.

2.
Residential development with an approved subdivision setback exhibit shall be
considered under the average lot development option if located in the RE-35
through R-5 zoning districts (Sections 609 through 618).

3.
Any other prior residential development shall be considered under the development
option selected when the property was subdivided.

A use permit shall not be required for new development on previously subdivided property
or property on which there is an approved site plan if the new development is in
conformance with the provisions of this ordinance.

Amend Chapter 6, Section 614 (R-2 Multi-Family Residence District) to read as follows:

Section 614. R-2 Multifamily MULTI-FAMILY Residence District

***

A.
Purpose. The purpose of the multi-family residence districts is to provide for alternate
living styles including rental, condominiums and single ownership of land with multiple
units thereon or single or attached townhomes.

The density ranges offered are intended to allow for a greater interaction of residents
with at least the opportunity for less individual maintenance, unit cost, and size as
compared with a conventional single-family residence.

The TWO design DEVELOPMENT options, of average lot subdivision, STANDARD and
planned residential DEVELOPMENT, and single-family attached development are
intended to provide flexibility as to unit placement, variable yard requirements, more
reasonable and practical use of open spaces, staggered height limits up to three and
four stories and more standardized parking and street improvement requirements.
Bonus provisions are intended to facilitate and enhance the utilization of smaller infill
parcels as well as unusual and irregular parcels throughout the City.

Along with the freedom that the multi-family district offers are certain responsibilities
which must be met for project residents, but more importantly for the overall adjacent
neighborhood. These are expressed in terms of standards and performance criteria. The
standards internal to a project are intended to increase livability with amenities including
landscaping, recreational facilities and project design. On the other hand the exterior
standards provide a better fit, [and] better the project and the neighborhood environs.
Criteria relating to setbacks, screening and landscaping are intended to reduce noise,
maintain privacy and minimize psychological feelings to a change in development
character and avoid any adverse effect on property values.

B.
District Regulations. The following tables establishES standards to be used in the R-2
district. The definitions of terms used in these standards are found in Section 608.I. The
single-family infill development option must meet Section 608.F.6 requirements. REFER
TO SECTION 608, RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS, FOR PERMITTED USES AND
ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS.

Section 703. Landscaping, Fences, and Walls

Amend Chapter 7, Section 703 (Landscaping, Fences, and Walls) to read as follows:

***

B.
Landscaping and Open Areas SPACE in Multiple-Family Development.

1.
Purpose. Multiple-family dwellings UNITS can play a desired role by providing
desired forms of housing in appropriately zoned locations. However, because the
density of dwellings is greater than alternate forms of housing, there is a relatively
greater need to ensure an appropriate residential setting, including both landscape
amenities and adequate outdoor open areas. Although it is recognized that many
multiple-family projects will wish to provide these in greater amounts, this section
establishes minimum standards for these features. These standards also recognize
both limitations in water availability as well as legitimate needs to use landscaping
for shade, cooling, and visual relief. To these purposes, these standards distinguish
between landscaped areas oriented to public street and the exterior of projects
from that more internally oriented and for the use of residents. They provide for
landscaping at the perimeter and in front yards to include waterless features and
drought resistant plant materials. Higher water use landscaping is to be restricted to
interior areas devoted to resident use.

2.
Landscaping and open space areas shall be provided as follows at the time of initial
development and shall be maintained in a living condition on any lot subject to
residential district standards with five or more dwelling units. PROPERTIES WITH
FOUR OR FEWER DWELLING UNITS SHOULD REFER TO SECTION 507 TAB
A, II.C.9, RESIDENTIAL LOT DESIGN REVIEW.
