2026-27 Housing and Urban Development Consolidated Plan Annual Action Plan
Process - Citywide

This report requests City Council approval of the 2026-27 Consolidated Plan Annual
Action Plan process. This is a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
requirement of receiving federal program funds.

Summary
The 2026-27 Annual Action Plan examines housing and community development
needs in the City of Phoenix and defines strategies for addressing those needs
throughout the year. The Annual Action Plan contains the planning and application
requirements for four major U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) programs that provide critical funds to entitlement cities like Phoenix every year.
The four fund sources are: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME
Investment Partnership (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG), and Housing
Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA). Through adoption of the 2025-29
Consolidated Plan in May 2025, the City Council approved the general priorities and
plans for these programs. Each year the Annual Action Plan details how federal funds
will be spent during the coming year.

The Annual Action Plan process will begin in November 2025. The initial public
communication and participation process will include the distribution of a community
survey, social media posts and outreach, and a HUD-required public in-person
hearing, all to assess community needs throughout Phoenix. Residents and
neighborhood leaders will be invited to provide testimony regarding housing,
homelessness, social services, and community development issues and concerns.
Residents who are unable to attend the in-person public hearing will have the
opportunity to submit their comments via email or voicemail. This information, along
with a needs assessment, will form the foundation of the draft 2026-27 Annual Action
Plan. The draft plan will be available for an advertised 30-day public comment period
and another public hearing will be held in spring 2026 before it is reviewed and
approved by the City Council. The goal of the Annual Action Plan process, per HUD
requirements, is to ensure comprehensive community planning and coordinated
service delivery are utilized to meet critical housing and community development
needs. The City Council will be asked to review and approve the draft 2026-27 Annual



Action Plan in early May 2026 before it is due to HUD by May 15, 2026.

Concurrence/Previous Council Action
The Community Services and Education Subcommittee recommended approval of this
item on October 22, 2025, by a 3-0 vote.

Public Outreach
The City of Phoenix's Annual Action Plan process will include holding two HUD
required virtual public hearings with the notice of public hearings posted two weeks in
advance.

Municipal Services District Assessments (Resolution 22338) - Districts 7 & 8

Request to hold a public hearing for the approval of the 2026 Downtown Enhanced
Municipal Services District (Downtown EMSD) assessments and adopt a resolution

annual expenditure for this program is $452,017.

Summary
Pursuant to Arizona state law, a public hearing must be held prior to the annual
adoption of the assessments for the Downtown EMSD. The City Council authorized
the formation of the Downtown EMSD in 1990 to provide enhanced public services,
above and beyond the level of services provided in the remainder of the City. The
costs for the Downtown EMSD services are paid through assessments on property
owners within the Downtown EMSD boundaries, which are generally Garfield Street on
the north, 7th Street on the east, 3rd Avenue on the west, and the railroad tracks south
of Jackson Street on the south.

The City contracts directly with Downtown Phoenix, Inc. (DPI) to implement the work
program, as described in Attachment A. The work plan and budget for calendar year
(CY) 2026 provides a variety of enhanced services in the downtown core, including
business improvement services and overall business development.

The annual assessments for the Downtown EMSD will be levied for CY 2026 after the
required legal process for the Downtown EMSD has been completed. Assessments
are determined in proportion to the benefits received by each parcel. There are
approximately 742 parcels in the Downtown EMSD on which the budget will be
assessed. This is based on the approved Downtown EMSD assessment diagram that
indicates the properties to be assessed for enhanced municipal services. This diagram
is on file with the Office of the Director of the City of Phoenix Street Transportation
Department and was posted online at the City's Community and Economic
Development Department website.

The figures below represent the assessments for private and public property owners
based on the approved 2026 Downtown EMSD budget of $5,240,953. See



Attachment B for a breakdown of the expense categories. This includes $172,645 for

tenants adjacent to the Streetscape Improvement District (SID). The SID includes
certain portions of Monroe Street from 3rd Avenue to 7th Street; Adams Street from
2nd Avenue to 2nd Street; 2nd Street from Jefferson to Van Buren streets; and 3rd
Street from Monroe to Van Buren streets.

(Ordinance S-52386) - Citywide

Request authorization for the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into contract with
Ronald C. Burch to provide computer-aided dispatch (CAD) transition consulting.
Further request authorization for the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this
item. The total value of the contract will not exceed $630,000.

Summary
The Phoenix Fire Department (PFD) requires technical administration services for its
existing regional CAD system during the implementation of the new regional CAD
system. The dispatch system is used to deploy appropriate Fire personnel, apparatus,
and equipment to emergency calls from the public.

The CAD Modernization Project is an ongoing effort to upgrade the current legacy
CAD system. A substantial portion of PFD Technical Services staff are needed for the
ongoing CAD Modernization Project. However, the mission critical nature of the CAD
system requires that there be no reduction in the level of support it receives during the
project implementation.

The extended implementation timeline of the CAD Modernization Project requires that
PFD have a CAD transition consultant to provide services through the end of the
current CAD system’s live operations.

Procurement Information
In accordance with Administrative Regulation 3.10, standard competition was waived
as a result of an approved Determination Memo based on the following reason:
Special Circumstances Without Competition due to the nature of the CAD operation
system (OpenVMS), programming languages used by CAD (COBOL and MACRO),
PFD has few other options available for temporary external resources to support the
legacy CAD system.

Contract Term
The contract will begin on or about October 29, 2025, for a three-year term.




Financial Impact
The aggregate contract value will not exceed $630,000 for the three-year aggregate
term. Funding is available in the Phoenix Fire Department's Capital Improvement
Program budget.

Responsible Department
This item is submitted by Assistant City Manager Lori Bays and the Fire Department.

Report

Amended and Restated Lease 33676 with Cutter Aviation, Inc. at Phoenix Sky
Harbor International Airport (Ordinance S-52388) - District 8

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to amend Lease 33676
(Ground Lease) with Cutter Aviation Phoenix, Inc. (Cutter) for the operation of a full-
service fixed base operator facility (FBO) at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport
(PHX) to extend the term 15 years and incorporate Lease 157996 (Parking Lot Lease)
into the Ground Lease.

Summary
Cutter leases approximately 18 acres of land under the Ground Lease for the
operation of an FBO at PHX. Cutter also leases approximately 1.06 acres of land at
PHX under the Parking Lot Lease for parking needs to support of its FBO operations.
Both leases will expire on March 31, 2028.

Cutter is seeking to invest a minimum of $7 million in FBO facility improvements,
including refurbishment of aircraft storage hangars, increase hangar aircraft size
capacity to accommodate larger general aviation aircraft, installation of a portico,
asphalt of aircraft ramp areas, and other efficiency and customer service
enhancements. In order for Cutter to amortize these investments, the Aviation
Department desires to amend and restate the Ground Lease to include extending the
term by 15 years, updating other lease provisions to modernize the Ground Lease to
align with current leasing standards, and incorporating the Parking Lot Lease into a
consolidated amended and restated Ground Lease. The amended and restated
Ground Lease will require all improvement to be completed within the first 36 months
of the extended term. To ensure the construction of the improvements is completed
within 36 months, Cutter must provide a cash deposit in the amount of $350,000 to the
City as a capital investment milestone guarantee. Failure to substantially complete the
improvements within the 36-month time period will result in forfeiture of the deposit to
the City.

Contract Term
The terms of the Ground Lease and Parking Lot Lease will expire on March 31, 2028.
The amended and restated Ground Lease will extend the term by 15 years from April
1, 2028, to March 31, 2043. If the leased premises are required for airport operational



purposes, the City may terminate the amended and restated Ground Lease by giving
Cutter a minimum of 12 month's prior written notice.

Financial Impact
Cutter currently pays approximately $336,808 in rent in the form of a minimum annual
guarantee (MAG) for its FBO leased premises and also pays additional amounts for
other aeronautical services in compliance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-
approved PHX FBO Minimum Standards, such as fuel flowage fees and landing fees
performed at PHX. Combined revenue from Cutter for FBO and other aeronautical
services generates approximately $1.2 million per year. As a provision of the amended
and restated Ground Lease, rent for the FBO leased premises will convert to a ground
rental rate of approximately $0.43 per square foot per year, which will produce a rent
amount that approximately equals the current MAG amount. The annual ground rental
rate will remain at approximately $336,808 for years one through five of the extended
term. In years six through 10 of the extended term, the ground rental rate will increase
by $0.10 per square foot per year.

An appraisal will determine the market rental rate for year 11 of the extended term. If
the appraisal increase is 10 percent or less, then the ground rent will be adjusted to
the appraised market rate for year 11. If the appraisal market rate increase exceeds 10
percent, the ground rental rate increase for year 11 will be capped at 10 percent, with
subsequent 10 percent annual rent increases in years 12 through 15 until the ground
rental rate matches the appraised market rate. Once the appraised market rate is
reached, the rent adjustments for the remaining lease years will be based on the
Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale Consumer Price Index (CPI) or three percent, whichever is
greater.

Cutter currently pays $48,510 in ground rent under the Parking Lot Lease with annual
rent adjustments of three percent. The rental rate for the Parking Lot premises during
the extended term years will also be based on the appraised market rental rate and will
follow the same rental adjustment methodology as the FBO leased premises.

In addition to annual ground rent, Cutter will be subject to all fees and services
associated with the current FAA-approved PHX FBO Minimum Standards, including
fuel flowage fees and landing fees. The total anticipated revenue over the 15-year
extended term is expected to exceed $22 million.

Concurrence/Previous Council Action
The Phoenix Aviation Advisory Board recommended approval of this item on
September 18, 2025, by a vote of 9-0.
The Transportation, Infrastructure, and Planning Subcommittee recommended


approval of this item on October 15, 2025, by a vote of 3-0.

Desert Drive

Acreage: 112.47 acres

Current Plan Designation: Parks/Open Space / Residential 3.5 to 5 dwelling
units per acre (72.96 acres)

Skunk Creek Wash

North Gateway Meeting Date: September 11, 2025




Staff Analysis
GPA-NG-1-25-2


Staff Recommendation: Approval

FINDINGS:

1) The subject site is appropriate for commercial uses as it is adjacent to the Village
Core and within the North Black Canyon Corridor.

2) The subject site is appropriate for additional commercial uses as it is strategically
located near the I-17 freeway and nearby planned residences.

3) The companion rezoning case, Z-24-25-2, proposes development that is
consistent with land uses in the surrounding area.

4) The proposed update to the City Trail System Map is consistent with
development to the west of the Interstate 17 and will still provide connectivity to
the west via a shared-use path connecting to the future pedestrian and bicycle
bridge across the freeway.

BACKGROUND

The subject site (General Plan Amendment area) is 112.47 acres and is located at the
northeast corner of Interstate 17 and Sonoran Desert Drive. The subject site is currently
vacant land. The companion rezoning case Z-24-25-2 is requesting to rezone the site
from 87.25 acres of S-1 NBCOD (Ranch or Farm Residence, North Black Canyon
Overlay District) and 5.08 acres of FH PCD NBCOD (Flood Hazard and Erosion
Management District, Planned Community District, North Black Canyon Overlay District)
to 92.08 acres of C-2 HGT/WVR NBCOD (Intermediate Commercial, Height Waiver,
North Black Canyon Overlay District) and 0.25 acres of FH NBCOD (Flood Hazard and
Erosion Management District, North Black Canyon Overlay District) to allow
commercial, retail, and hospitality uses. The General Plan Land Use Map designations
of the subject site are 72.96 acres of Parks/Open Space / Residential 3.5 to 5 dwelling
units per acre, 34.76 acres of Preserves / Residential 2 to 3.5 dwelling units per acre /
Residential 3.5 to 5 dwelling units per acre, 4.11 acres of Preserves / Floodplain, 0.63
acres of Commercial / Residential 15+ dwelling units per acre, and 0.01 acres of
Preserves / Mixed Use / Commercial / Residential 5 to 10 dwelling units per acre /
Residential 10 to 15 dwelling units per acre. The proposed General Plan Amendment is
to designate the site as Commercial.

The request also includes an update to the City Trails System Map to remove the multi-
use trail along the south side of Dove Valley Road and the north side of Sonoran Desert
Drive adjacent to the development, west of the Skunk Creek Wash multi-use trail; and
the addition of an east-west shared-use path west of Skunk Creek Wash to the I-17
freeway. The site to the west, across the I-17, will not be constructing multi-use trails on
either road; thus, if these multi-use trails were constructed, they would not connect west
of the I-17. These multi-use trails will instead terminate and connect at the Skunk Creek



Staff Analysis
GPA-NG-1-25-2


Wash multi-use trail. The east-west shared-use path from Skunk Creek Wash to the I-
17 will provide connectivity to a proposed pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the I-17
freeway and serves as the Paseo del Prado as envisioned by the North Gateway Village
Core Plan.

SURROUNDING LAND USES

NORTH
To the north is designated as Commercial / Residential 15+ dwelling units per acre and
Preserves / Mixed Use / Commercial / Residential 5 to 10 dwelling units per acre /
Residential 10 to 15 dwelling units per acre.

SOUTH
To the south is designated as Parks/Open Space / Residential 3.5 to 5 dwelling units
per acre, Preserves / Residential 2 to 3.5 dwelling units per acre / Residential 3.5 to 5
dwelling units per acre, and Preserves / Floodplain.

EAST
To the east is designated as Preserves / Residential 2 to 3.5 dwelling units per acre /
Residential 3.5 to 5 dwelling units per acre and Preserves / Floodplain.

WEST
To the west is designated as Transportation.

RELATIONSHIP TO GENERAL PLAN CORE VALUES AND PRINCIPLES

CONNECT PEOPLE AND PLACES

• CONNECT PEOPLE & PLACES CORE VALUE; CORES, CENTERS &
CORRIDORS; LAND USE PRINCIPLE: Locate land uses with the greatest
height and most intense uses within village cores, centers and corridors
based on village character, land use needs, and transportation system
capacity.

The site is located adjacent to the North Gateway Village Core, is within the
North Black Canyon Corridor, and is located within the Infrastructure Limit Line,
which promotes a concentration of higher-intensity uses to be located within the
corridor.

• CONNECT PEOPLE & PLACES CORE VALUE; CORES, CENTERS &
CORRIDORS; LAND USE PRINCIPLE: Plan cores, centers and corridors to
include a variety of land uses: office, retail shopping, entertainment and
cultural, housing, hotel and resort, and where appropriate, some types of
industry.




Staff Analysis
GPA-NG-1-25-2


The proposal will provide this corridor along the I-17 freeway with a variety of
land uses including commercial, retail, and hospitality uses.

• CELEBRATE OUR DIVERSE COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS CORE
VALUE; CONNECTED NEIGHBORHOODS; LAND USE PRINCIPLE: Locate
neighborhood retail to be easily accessible to neighborhoods.

The site is located nearby planned residential within the surrounding areas.

• CONNECT PEOPLE AND PLACES CORE VALUE; CANALS AND TRAILS;
DESIGN PRINCIPLE: Plan, design, and develop pedestrian linkages
between parks, open spaces, village cores, neighborhood shopping
centers, neighborhood schools, and neighboring municipalities.

The proposed update to the City Trail System Map will provide a pedestrian
linkage to the proposed commercial center via a shared-use path that will serve
as the Paseo del Prado on the site, connecting to future pedestrian and bicycle
bridges that will connect to multifamily residential developments to the east of
Skunk Creek Wash and to the future Halo Vista development to the west.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends approval of GPA-NG-1-25-2 as filed. The request aligns with the
goals and policies of the General Plan and will result in land use designations that will
maximize the property’s location adjacent to a freeway. Along with the companion
rezoning case, Z-24-25-2, the General Plan Amendment will allow a compatible mix of
land uses that will provide additional commercial to the North Gateway community.
Additionally, the update to the City Trails System Map is consistent with how the site to
the west, across the I-17 freeway, is being developed and will still provide connectivity
via the east-west shared-use path.

Meeting Summary
GPA-NG-1-25-2

Mr. Thomas clarified that the ingress and egress off of the Interstate 17 freeway would
be off of a frontage road with deceleration lanes, noting that it would be a normal street
condition, including a sidewalk and landscaping.

Chair Julie Read stated that she met with Vestar to get some questions answered and
to provide some input regarding items that were important to the community. Chair
Read stated that there was a lot of time spent on the design. Chair Read stated that
because the North Gateway Village Core did not develop how it was originally
envisioned as, the North Gateway Village lacked a vision for future development within
the village. Chair Read stated that in other parts of the city, people know where they
are because of how it is designed, such as the Biltmore Fashion Park, Midtown
Phoenix, Roosevelt Row, or the Melrose District. Chair Read stated that the North
Gateway Village lacks this type of placemaking that other places throughout the city
have. Chair Read stated that the North Gateway Village has the largest amount of
State Trust Land within the City of Phoenix, noting that the village will continue to grow
and develop. Chair Read stated that part of the job of being a committee member is to
be really thoughtful of new development and ensure it aligns with how the community
wants the village to develop. Chair Read stated that this would be the first retail
development for the North Gateway Village, and it will set the tone for all future
development in the village. Chair Read stated that she wants to make sure that while
the community has a say, that the community really likes the way it is going to look,
and that it ties into the Sonoran Desert and Sonoran Preserve. Chair Read stated that
the applicant has done a great job of being really thoughtful on the design. Chair Read
stated that the proposed site plan is not final, and it may change, but noted that it is a
good start and a good representation of what is to come. Chair Read stated that she
requested that Vestar ensure that the trail stations be cleaned and that the trash bins
be emptied regularly, noting that Vestar as the property management company will be
in charge of this maintenance. Chair Read added that she requested that pet waste
stations be provided throughout the site and that they be maintained. Chair Read
stated that she wants to ensure that the amenities are clean and safe for the
community members that will be using it. Chair Read stated that Vestar has agreed to
these items. Chair Read stated that she also asked that Vestar ensure that the open
spaces within both Vestar projects are exciting and activating for the community. Chair
Read stated that the village has a lot of young families and there are not a lot of places
to go within the village for families to spend time together. Chair Read referenced the
water features at Desert Ridge Marketplace and Scottsdale Quarter, and how families
could spend a good part of the day there. Chair Read stated that having community
gathering spots is very important to this community. Chair Read stated that there
should be less asphalt and pavement and more places to connect with neighbors and
families. Chair Read added that arts and culture plays a big role in developing
communities. Chair Read stated that the City of Phoenix has great arts and culture
pieces, but none are within the North Gateway Village. Chair Read stated that she has
challenged Vestar to think creatively and has asked Vestar to work with local artists to
bring arts and culture into the North Gateway Village. Chair Read stated that the
Thompson Thrift project included a stipulation for inclusion of a mural that the
Committee voted on. Chair Read stated that she hoped to see this type of art moving
forward for the Vestar property. Chair Read stated that Dove Valley Road is currently

scalloped and is dangerous to drive on with how development has occurred along the
roadway. Chair Read stated that Vestar has agreed that the construction of Dove
Valley Road will be completed as one of their first improvements. Chair Read stated
that she has also asked Vestar to include improvements around the APS substation at
North Valley Parkway and Carefree Highway. Chair Read asked Mr. Thomas to explain
the relationship with APS.

Mr. Thomas stated that APS has control over their property and Vestar cannot touch
their easements or their property. Mr. Thomas stated that Vestar does have enough
room on their property to program buildings and landscaping around the APS
substation in order to shield it. Mr. Thomas stated that Vestar cannot touch the east
side of the substation, but there is a lot to be done on the north and west side of it to
make it look more attractive with buildings and landscaping, depending on what APS
will allow close to their easements.

Chair Read stated that she hopes to facilitate some conversations between Vestar and
APS about what those improvements might look like. Chair Read stated that there is an
APS substation at the southwest corner of 7th Street and Roosevelt Street which is
hidden behind artistic walls and buildings. Chair Read stated that she hopes that there
could be a similar creative solution to screen the APS substation that will add value
and bring arts and culture and community activation to the area. Chair Read stated that
there is a big sign across the street for the Melrose District and when crossing under it,
people know that they are in the Melrose District. Chair Read stated that the North
Gateway Village has its name because it is the north gateway into the City of Phoenix.
Chair Read stated that she has asked Vestar to be creative for some sort of monument
sign, similar to the sign for the Desert Ridge Marketplace. Chair Read also requested
that no cacti or pointy plants be planted adjacent to areas where kids may be playing.

Public Comments:
None.

45. If Phase I data testing is required, and if, upon review of the results from the
Phase I data testing, the City Archaeologist, in consultation with a qualified




archaeologist, determines such data recovery excavations are necessary, the
applicant shall conduct Phase II archaeological data recovery excavations.

46. In the event archaeological materials are encountered during construction, the
developer shall immediately cease all ground-disturbing activities within a 33-
foot radius of the discovery, notify the City Archaeologist, and allow time for the

crossing will be as determined by the Arizona Department of Transportation.


SECTION 4. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or

portion of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the

decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity

of the remaining portions hereof.

Background/Issues/Analysis

SUBJECT SITE
1. This request is to rezone 92.33 acres located at the northeast corner of Interstate
17 and Sonoran Desert Drive from 87.25 acres of S-1 NBCOD (Ranch or Farm
Residence, North Black Canyon Overlay District) and 5.08 acres of FH PCD
NBCOD (Flood Hazard and Erosion Management District, Planned Community
District, North Black Canyon Overlay District) to 92.08 acres of C-2 HGT/WVR
NBCOD (Intermediate Commercial, Height Waiver, North Black Canyon Overlay
District) and 0.25 acres of FH NBCOD (Flood Hazard and Erosion Management
District, North Black Canyon Overlay District) to allow commercial, retail, and
hospitality uses.

GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION
2. The General Plan Land Use Map designations for the subject site are 72.96
acres of Parks/Open Space / Residential 3.5 to 5 dwelling units per acre, 34.76
acres of Preserves / Residential 2 to 3.5 dwelling units per acre / Residential 3.5
to 5 dwelling units per acre, 4.11 acres of Preserves / Floodplain, 0.63 acres of
Commercial / Residential 15+ dwelling units per acre, and 0.01 acres of
Preserves / Mixed Use / Commercial / Residential 5 to 10 dwelling units per acre
/ Residential 10 to 15 dwelling units per acre.

The proposal for C-2 HGT/WVR NBCOD zoning is inconsistent with the General
Plan Land Use Map; thus, a General Plan Amendment is required. The
companion General Plan Amendment (Case No. GPA-NG-1-25-2) is proposing
to amend the General Plan Land Use Map designations to Commercial. The
request for C-2 HGT/WVR NBCOD zoning is consistent with the proposed
General Plan Land Use Map designation.

To the north of the subject site is designated as Commercial / Residential 15+
dwelling units per acre and Preserves / Mixed Use / Commercial / Residential 5
to 10 dwelling units per acre / Residential 10 to 15 dwelling units per acre. To the

PROPOSAL
4. Site Plan
The site plan, attached as an exhibit, proposes a commercial center with a
fitness center, four hotels, and retail and restaurant pads. Retention areas are
proposed throughout the site, with some larger retention areas proposed along
32nd Avenue and along the I-17 freeway. Surface parking areas are proposed
throughout the site, with a total of 3,919 parking spaces provided. Seven
driveways are proposed for vehicular access along 32nd Avenue and five
driveways are proposed from the I-17 frontage road.

Staff recommends enhanced landscape planting standards to enhance the tree
plantings and vegetative ground coverage within retention areas. This is
addressed in Stipulation No. 4.

A multi-use trail (MUT) is designated along the south side of Dove Valley Road
and along the west side of Skunk Creek Wash. Easements must be dedicated




Staff Report: Z-24-25-2
September 8, 2025

and the MUTs must be constructed within the easements. This is addressed in
Stipulation Nos. 8 and 9.

To enhance landscape plantings along the Skunk Creek Wash MUT, and to be
consistent with development along the east side of Skunk Creek Wash, staff
recommends that a minimum 10-foot landscape setback be provided along the
west side of the MUT adjacent to Skunk Creek Wash, landscaped with enhanced
planting standards. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 10.

5. Elevations
The building elevations and renderings, attached as an exhibit, proposes one-
story retail shop buildings, four-story hotels, and a two-story fitness center. Staff
does not recommend general conformance to the elevations as they may change
depending on the successful bidder of the auction. Staff recommends that all
building elevations contain architectural embellishments and detailing and that
they contain desert-tone colors. These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 1 and 2.

PLANS, OVERLAYS, AND INITATIVES
6. North Black Canyon Major Employment Corridor
The subject site is located
within the City designated
North Black Canyon
employment corridor, which
is generally bounded by
Carefree Highway to the
north, the 19th Avenue
alignment to the east, Happy
Valley Road to the south, and
the I-17 freeway to the west.
The purpose of employment
centers and corridors are to
encourage and promote a
concentration of employment
uses within strategic areas.
The North Black Canyon
employment corridor is
characterized by a mix of
commercial, commerce park,
and residential uses of higher Major Employment Centers and Corridors Map

intensity within and nearby
the Village Core. The proposal will add to the mix of commercial uses and
associated employment within the employment corridor.




Staff Report: Z-24-25-2

7. North Gateway Village Core Plan
The subject site is located adjacent to the North Gateway Village Core and is
within the North Gateway Village Core Plan. The Phoenix City Council adopted
the North Gateway Village Core Plan in 2008 to provide guidance in creating a
high-intensity, urban center with Skunk Creek Wash and Bronco Butte as major
natural amenities.

The North Gateway Village
Core Plan envisioned the
subject site as a future 110-
acre district park. The
proposal is not consistent
with the North Gateway
Village Core Plan;
however, the Parks and
Recreation Department has
confirmed that the district
park is planned for another
location.

In order to promote the
goals, policies, and
recommendations of the
North Gateway Village
Core Plan, including
pedestrian-oriented
development and
enhanced pedestrian
connectivity, staff
recommends stipulations
regarding public plazas, an
enhanced north-south
pedestrian pathway,
surface parking setback,
multi-use trails, a shared-
use path, pedestrian
crossings, bicycle parking,
bicycle repair stations, North Gateway Village Core Plan
enhanced shading, Conceptual Land Use Map

circulation/trails plan, a pedestrian/bicycle bridge, and pedestrian crosswalk with
activated warning. These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 5 through 9, 11, 13,
14, 24, 28, 30, 32, 33, and 35 through 38.

8. North Black Canyon Corridor Plan
The subject site is within the North Black Canyon Corridor Plan. The Phoenix
within a concentrated area along the Interstate 17 corridor, to discourage
leapfrog development, and to preserve the natural desert character of the area.
In an effort to guide growth and development within a concentrated area and
discourage leapfrog development, the North Black Canyon Corridor Plan
established the Infrastructure Limit Line and Infrastructure Phasing Overlay. The
proposal is consistent with the following goals from the plan:

• Goal 2: Achieve a balance
between employment and
housing.

The proposal will add to the
variety of employment
opportunities at the
commercial businesses that
would be located on the
subject site.

• Goal 3: Concentrate growth
within a defined corridor.

The subject site is located
within the Infrastructure
Limit Line, which is the
defined corridor within the
North Black Canyon North Black Canyon Corridor Plan
Corridor Plan where growth Infrastructure Limit Line and Phasing Overlay Map
was intended to be Source: Planning and Development Department
concentrated.

9. North Black Canyon Overlay District
The subject site is within the North Black Canyon Overlay District (NBCOD). The
concepts of the North Black Canyon Corridor Plan. The NBCOD ensures
development is compatible with the desert environment by providing
comprehensive design guidelines. In order enforce the NBCOD guidelines
regarding developing buildings with a desert color palette, staff recommends that
the color and material palette comply with the NBCOD, with specific regard to
colors being muted and blend with, rather than contrast strongly, with the
surrounding desert environment. Additionally, to maintain the natural desert
character, staff recommends that surface retention areas be natural and organic
in shape. These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 2 and 3.

10. 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. In order to support the monarch
butterfly population, Stipulation No. 15 addresses the planting of milkweed
shrubs, or other native nectar plant species, on the subject site.

11. 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. Staff recommends Stipulation
Nos. 4, 5.b, 5.c, 6.a.(1), 9.b, 10, 11.c.(1), 22, 24, 28, 32, 33, and 35 to enhance
tree plantings and shade.

12. Complete Streets Design Guidelines
In 2018, the Phoenix City Council adopted the Complete Streets Design
Guidelines. The design guidelines are intended to promote improvements that
provide an accessible, safe, connected transportation system to include all
modes, such as bicycles, pedestrians, transit, and vehicles. Staff recommends
multi-use trails, a shared-use path, visually contrasting pavement treatments at
pedestrian crossings, enhanced streetscape plantings and shade, and detached
sidewalks, to support these design guidelines and to enhance the streetscape.
These are addressed in Stipulation Nos. 8, 9, 11, 12, 28, 32, 33, and 35.

13. 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. Staff recommends that bicycle parking be provided in accordance
with the City’s Walkable Urban (WU) Code, installed per the requirements in the
WU Code and located near building entrances and open space areas.
Additionally, two public bicycle repair stations (“fix it stations”) will be provided
and maintained internal to the site near a paseo, pedestrian walkway, or public
plaza, and one along the multi-use trail adjacent to Skunk Creek Wash, in areas
of high visibility and separated from vehicular maneuvering areas, where
applicable. This is addressed in Stipulation Nos. 13 and 14.

14. 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 submittal materials indicate that recycling
receptacles will be provided, as applicable, by the future tenants/users.

15. 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. Staff recommends a minimum of 30 parking
spaces include EV Capable infrastructure. Additionally, staff recommends a
minimum of 10 percent of the provided bicycle parking spaces include standard
electrical receptacles for electric bicycle charging capabilities. This is addressed
in Stipulation Nos. 16 and 17.

16. 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 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. Staff recommends Stipulation No. 18, which requires a minimum
of two green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) techniques for stormwater
management to be implemented, in order to address this goal.

17. 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 standard stipulations for all rezoning cases
that will address best practices related to water usage in nine specific categories.
Staff recommends Stipulation Nos. 18 through 23 to address this goal, which
address the following:
• A minimum of two GSI elements for stormwater management to be
implemented.
• Only utilize landscape materials listed in Appendix A of the North Black
Canyon Overlay District (Section 654 of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance).
• Natural turf to only be utilized in required retention areas and functional
turf areas.
• A leak detection device to be installed for the irrigation system of
landscape areas larger than 10,000 square feet.
• A minimum of 25 percent of the surface parking areas to be shaded by
structures or shade trees.
• Documentation to be provided that demonstrates a commitment to
participate in the City of Phoenix Businesses Water Efficiency Program for
a minimum of 15 years.

Applicant Presentation:
Manjula Vaz, with Gammage & Burnham, PLC, introduced herself and her team. Ms.
Vaz stated that they have been working with City staff for over a year. Ms. Vaz stated
that they have tried to take into account all of the policy plans in the area. Ms. Vaz
stated that the height waiver request is for four-story hotels as they come in, which is
consistent with other approved height waivers in the area.

David Larcher, with Vestar, introduced himself and shared other shopping centers that
Vestar has developed within the Phoenix metropolitan area. Mr. Larcher stated that this
would be a high-quality development, similar to the other shopping centers that Vestar
has developed. Mr. Larcher stated that Vestar is a long-term holder of their
developments.

Kean Thomas, with Vestar, displayed and discussed the proposed site plan and
surrounding developments. Mr. Thomas summarized off-site improvements that Vestar
will be building and shared ultimate street cross-sections. Mr. Thomas discussed the
proposed trail connectivity. Mr. Thomas discussed the conceptual design, noting that it
would comply with the North Black Canyon Overlay District. Mr. Thomas discussed the
amenities that would be included. Mr. Thomas discussed the proposed amendment to
the City Trails Network Map. Mr. Thomas displayed and discussed the 32nd Avenue
cross-section and multi-use trail. Mr. Thomas concluded that the proposed development
conforms with adopted policy plans for the village and noted that Vestar looks forward to
contributing to the North Gateway Village through thoughtful placemaking and design.

Questions from Committee:
Committee Member Aaron Stein asked how many points of ingress and egress
would be located off of the Interstate 17 freeway. Ms. Vaz responded that there would
be seven points of ingress and egress.

Mr. Thomas clarified that the ingress and egress off of the Interstate 17 freeway would
be off of a frontage road with deceleration lanes, noting that it would be a normal street
condition, including a sidewalk and landscaping.

Chair Julie Read stated that she met with Vestar to get some questions answered and
to provide some input regarding items that were important to the community. Chair
Read stated that there was a lot of time spent on the design. Chair Read stated that
because the North Gateway Village Core did not develop how it was originally
envisioned as, the North Gateway Village lacked a vision for future development within
the village. Chair Read stated that in other parts of the city, people know where they

are because of how it is designed, such as the Biltmore Fashion Park, Midtown
Phoenix, Roosevelt Row, or the Melrose District. Chair Read stated that the North
Gateway Village lacks this type of placemaking that other places throughout the city
have. Chair Read stated that the North Gateway Village has the largest amount of
State Trust Land within the City of Phoenix, noting that the village will continue to grow
and develop. Chair Read stated that part of the job of being a committee member is to
be really thoughtful of new development and ensure it aligns with how the community
wants the village to develop. Chair Read stated that this would be the first retail
development for the North Gateway Village, and it will set the tone for all future
development in the village. Chair Read stated that she wants to make sure that while
the community has a say, that the community really likes the way it is going to look,
and that it ties into the Sonoran Desert and Sonoran Preserve. Chair Read stated that
the applicant has done a great job of being really thoughtful on the design. Chair Read
stated that the proposed site plan is not final, and it may change, but noted that it is a
good start and a good representation of what is to come. Chair Read stated that she
requested that Vestar ensure that the trail stations be cleaned and that the trash bins
be emptied regularly, noting that Vestar as the property management company will be
in charge of this maintenance. Chair Read added that she requested that pet waste
stations be provided throughout the site and that they be maintained. Chair Read
stated that she wants to ensure that the amenities are clean and safe for the
community members that will be using it. Chair Read stated that Vestar has agreed to
these items. Chair Read stated that she also asked that Vestar ensure that the open
spaces within both Vestar projects are exciting and activating for the community. Chair
Read stated that the village has a lot of young families and there are not a lot of places
to go within the village for families to spend time together. Chair Read referenced the
water features at Desert Ridge Marketplace and Scottsdale Quarter, and how families
could spend a good part of the day there. Chair Read stated that having community
gathering spots is very important to this community. Chair Read stated that there
should be less asphalt and pavement and more places to connect with neighbors and
families. Chair Read added that arts and culture plays a big role in developing
communities. Chair Read stated that the City of Phoenix has great arts and culture
pieces, but none are within the North Gateway Village. Chair Read stated that she has
challenged Vestar to think creatively and has asked Vestar to work with local artists to
bring arts and culture into the North Gateway Village. Chair Read stated that the
Thompson Thrift project included a stipulation for inclusion of a mural that the
Committee voted on. Chair Read stated that she hoped to see this type of art moving
forward for the Vestar property. Chair Read stated that Dove Valley Road is currently
scalloped and is dangerous to drive on with how development has occurred along the
roadway. Chair Read stated that Vestar has agreed that the construction of Dove
Valley Road will be completed as one of their first improvements. Chair Read stated
that she has also asked Vestar to include improvements around the APS substation at
North Valley Parkway and Carefree Highway. Chair Read asked Mr. Thomas to explain
the relationship with APS.

Mr. Thomas stated that APS has control over their property and Vestar cannot touch
their easements or their property. Mr. Thomas stated that Vestar does have enough
room on their property to program buildings and landscaping around the APS

substation in order to shield it. Mr. Thomas stated that Vestar cannot touch the east
side of the substation, but there is a lot to be done on the north and west side of it to
make it look more attractive with buildings and landscaping, depending on what APS
will allow close to their easements.

Chair Read stated that she hopes to facilitate some conversations between Vestar and
APS about what those improvements might look like. Chair Read stated that there is an
APS substation at the southwest corner of 7th Street and Roosevelt Street which is
hidden behind artistic walls and buildings. Chair Read stated that she hopes that there
could be a similar creative solution to screen the APS substation that will add value
and bring arts and culture and community activation to the area. Chair Read stated that
there is a big sign across the street for the Melrose District and when crossing under it,
people know that they are in the Melrose District. Chair Read stated that the North
Gateway Village has its name because it is the north gateway into the City of Phoenix.
Chair Read stated that she has asked Vestar to be creative for some sort of monument
sign, similar to the sign for the Desert Ridge Marketplace. Chair Read also requested
that no cacti or pointy plants be planted adjacent to areas where kids may be playing.

AND SONORAN DESERT DRIVE

Rezoning Case No. Z-24-25-2 is a request to rezone 92.33 acres located at the
northeast corner of Interstate 17 and Sonoran Desert Drive from 87.25 acres of S-1
NBCOD (Ranch or Farm Residence, North Black Canyon Overlay District) and 5.08
acres of FH PCD NBCOD (Flood Hazard and Erosion Management District, Planned
Community District, North Black Canyon Overlay District) to 92.08 acres of C-2
HGT/WVR NBCOD (Intermediate Commercial, Height Waiver, North Black Canyon
Overlay District) and 0.25 acres of FH NBCOD (Flood Hazard and Erosion Management
District, North Black Canyon Overlay District) to allow commercial, retail, and hospitality
uses.

The North Gateway Village Planning Committee (VPC) heard this request on
September 11, 2025 and recommended approval, per the staff recommendation, by a
vote of 6-0.

After the Village Planning Committee meeting, the applicant worked with staff to
propose modifications to Stipulation No. 37 regarding the pedestrian/bicycle bridge over
Skunk Creek Wash. Staff concurs with the proposed changes to provide clarification on
timing of construction of the bridge and subsequent issuance of Certificates of
Occupancy linked to the construction of the bridge.

To address the required regional water transmission and distribution mains, the Water
Services Department requests an easement along the west side of the property as
shown in the enclosed Exhibit. The exact location of the water line crossing will be as
determined by the Arizona Department of Transportation. Staff recommends the
addition of Stipulation No. 48 to reflect the request.

Staff recommends approval, per the modified stipulations in BOLD font below:

1. All building elevations shall contain architectural embellishments and detailing
such as textural changes, pilasters, offsets, recesses, variation in window size
and location, and/or overhang canopies, as approved by the Planning and
Development Department.
