This location was previously licensed for liquor sales and may currently operate with
an interim permit. This location requires a Use Permit to allow package liquor sales.

Pursuant to A.R.S. 4-203, a spirituous liquor license shall be issued only after
satisfactory showing of the capability, qualifications, and reliability of the applicant and
that the public convenience and the best interest of the community will be substantially
served by the issuance. If an application is filed for the issuance of a license for a
location, that on the date the application is filed has a valid license of the same series
issued at that location, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that the public

The public convenience requires and the best interest of the community will be
substantially served by the issuance of the liquor license because:

Rename the City's March 31, 2026 Holiday and Any City Facilities and Street
Signs that Bear the Name Cesar Chavez - Citywide

On March 18, 2026, Mayor Kate Gallego, Councilwoman Laura Pastor, and
Councilwoman Betty Guardado submitted a request (Attachment A) to the City
Manager to place an item on the March 25, 2026 Formal City Council agenda. The
request is for the City Council to approve renaming the City's March 31, 2026 holiday
to Farmworkers Day and request staff to begin a process to rename or replace the
holiday on a permanent basis; to begin the processes to rename all City facilities that
bear Chavez' name; and to remove City street signs that bear the name of Cesar
Chavez.

This request is in compliance with Rule 2(c) of the Rules of Council Proceedings.

Responsible Department
This item is submitted by City Manager Ed Zuercher.





ATTACHMENT A




To: Phoenix City Council Date: March 18, 2026
From: Mayor Kate Gallego
Councilmember Laura Pastor
Councilmember Betty Guardado
Subject: March 25 Formal Meeting Item Request

We are heartbroken and deeply disturbed by recent reports detailing horrific acts of abuse
against young girls and women. Our thoughts are first and foremost with the victims and
survivors, whose courage and pain must be recognized with care, respect, and unwavering
support. No acknowledgment or public action can undo that harm, but we must ensure that
their experiences are not overlooked or minimized.
For many years, Cesar Chavez has been recognized for his contributions to labor rights and
social justice. The City of Phoenix has honored his legacy through a holiday and by naming
public facilities after him. However, the gravity of these allegations requires us to reassess
those honors through the lens of our community’s core values, including dignity, safety, and
respect for all, especially the most vulnerable.
We believe the City has a responsibility to ensure that the individuals we formally honor reflect
those values. In light of these reports, we must take thoughtful but decisive steps forward.
As a result, we respectfully request that you place an item on the March 25 Formal Agenda to
(1) rename the City’s March 31, 2026 holiday as Farmworkers Day and begin the process to
rename or replace the holiday on a permanent basis; (2) begin the process to rename all City
facilities that currently bear Chavez’s name; and, (3) remove City street signs that honor
Chavez.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Report

Community Transparency Initiative - Citywide

During the February 10, 2026, Work Study Session, the Mayor and City Council
approved direction to staff to explore, develop and present a framework for a
Community Transparency Initiative and return to the Council within 45 days.

Summary
Residents throughout Phoenix have shared their growing concern about how federal
law enforcement activities adversely impact the community. In response, on February
5, 2026, Mayor Gallego called a Work Study Session to discuss and direct staff to
explore, develop and present a framework for a Community Transparency Initiative
and return to the Council within 45 days. The Mayor’s memo identified five items for
the Council to consider in support of the Community Transparency Initiative. Work
Study sessions provide an opportunity for the Mayor and City Council to discuss topics
important to the community in an open session.

During the February 10 Work Study Session, the Mayor and City Council approved a
motion to direct staff to “develop potential ordinances, regulations and guidelines
consistent with the deliverables outlined in the Mayor's February 5, 2026, memo, as
well as options for the Council to consider relating to outside organizations, staging in
our parks and preserve and other city property.”

The approved directives for staff were to:
1. Document and preserve information on federal immigration enforcement activities
within Phoenix city limits that may violate criminal statutes and/or individual civil
rights with the intent to investigate crimes committed by federal agents who act
outside the scope of their duties.
2. Collect data on impacts to City services as a result of federal immigration
enforcement.
3. Identify potential partnerships and volunteer opportunities to facilitate the initiative.
4. Ensure multilingual communication channels across City services and resources.
5. Implement training for City employees who may encounter federal enforcement
actions, including protocols related to administrative and judicial warrants.
6. Develop options for the Council to consider relating to outside organizations,
staging in our parks and preserve and other city property.




Since February 10, the City Manager’s Office has led an effort with numerous City
departments to create the framework for each item as directed by the Mayor and City
Council.

Community Transparency Initiative Framework
The Community Transparency Initiative (CTI) framework outlined herein reflects the
specific directives provided by the Mayor and City Council as well as the feedback on
those directives provided by community stakeholders through various meetings,
listening sessions, conversations and sharing of information. The discussion with
stakeholders largely reflected an understanding of the goals of the directives as well as
a shared intent that the best path forward would include an iterative process. This
process would include continued dialogue between Councilmembers, City staff and
community members which would inform and shape the current directives as well as
potential future elements of the CTI as it evolves to meet the needs of the community.

1. Document and preserve information on federal immigration enforcement
activities within Phoenix city limits that may violate criminal statutes and/or
individual civil rights with the intent to investigate crimes committed by federal
agents who act outside the scope of their duties.
To support the first directive of the CTI, there are two scenarios where documentation
and investigation may occur; reports of inactive incidents that have occurred and are
no longer in progress and reports of active, emergency incidents.

Regarding inactive incidents, staff will implement a new process in coordination with
the Office of Accountability and Transparency (OAT) and the Phoenix Police
Department (PPD). The new process includes receiving, documenting and preserving
a community member’s complaint about an alleged crime or violation of individual civil
rights by a federal agent through the Sivil complaint portal, which is administered by
OAT. Sivil is a multilingual platform that will be available for the community to use to
submit complaints to the City. It will also be accessible by calling or visiting OAT where
a staff member will take a complaint and enter it into the portal.

The complaints will be documented and tracked using the portal platform then directed
to the PPD Special Investigations Detail (SID) where detectives will review the
incident. Two additional detectives will be assigned to SID to manage the anticipated
workload and may be adjusted as needed. The assigned detectives and the necessary
administrative, supervisory and executive level staff will be the only PPD staff to have
access to the Sivil complaint portal.

The SID review will include a review of the complaint to determine if allegations of


state or local law violations are present. If there are allegations of criminal violations of
local or state law, SID investigators will contact the complainant for further information,
if contact information is provided, and will investigate to the extent necessary and
possible. If enough evidence exists for charges to be filed, PPD will refer criminal
charges to the appropriate charging agency. If there is not enough evidence to refer
criminal charges, a report will be documented. Reports of civil right violations will be
forwarded to the Attorney General’s Office for further review and possible investigation.

All reports and related evidence for all complaints made to the City of Phoenix will be
forwarded to the Arizona Attorney General’s Office with documentation also maintained
by the City. The City will collaborate with the Attorney General’s Office to develop a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to outline this relationship.

Where applicable, complaints may also be forwarded to the appropriate federal agency
with a request for further investigation.

Regarding active, emergency incidents, if a member of the community believes a
crime is actively being committed by a federal agent acting outside the scope of their
duties, or they would like to verify the identity of a law enforcement officer, they should
call 911 for immediate assistance. If there is a situation that warrants intervention or
criminal investigation, PPD will respond and investigate. PPD also has capabilities to
document situations using technologies such as body worn cameras and drones.

Complainants may also be offered referrals to resource information through the City’s
website (see #3 below), as well as victim support services where applicable.

For transparency, it is important to note that investigation and prosecution of these
incidents will be challenging, and few are likely to result in criminal prosecution.
However, the information gathered through this process will be valuable for potential
future civil action, if necessary. It is also important to note that these records are likely
to be subject to public records requests with appropriate redactions.

2. Collect data on impacts to City services as a result of federal immigration
enforcement.
To support the second directive of the CTI, staff have established tracking mechanisms
for City resources used during incidents involving federal law enforcement officials.
Pathways for tracking the utilization of City resources include documenting staff time
and the call response information for first responders as a result of an incident
involving federal law enforcement. Staff will also focus on tracking specific incident
types where feasible, such as use of aerosol irritants as a use of force against
members of the community. The tracking of City resources will be conducted by the


Police and Fire departments (including the Community Assistance Program) as well as
the Office of Accountability and Transparency through their established tracking
processes. Additionally, a staff member will be assigned to track impacts to small
businesses and the local economy.

3. Identify potential partnerships and volunteer opportunities to facilitate the
initiative.
To support the third directive of the CTI, staff have worked with several key
stakeholders since February 10 to develop partnerships and receive feedback on the
initiative. Stakeholders frequently identified establishing a “Know Your Rights”
campaign as one of the most critical components of this initiative. In response, City
staff have developed a new Know Your Rights webpage. The new page on the City’s
website features key resources from partners that will equip the community with
information to empower them with the knowledge to maintain their individual civil
rights. The webpage also includes information for businesses, schools, employers and
impacted communities, such as refugees, and links to volunteer opportunities.

Additionally, the City’s website will contain general information about the Community
Transparency Initiative, status of CTI implementation, relevant data and information
about related City services, such as virtual Municipal Court service options for traffic
citations. As we expect the CTI to be an ongoing, iterative process in collaboration with
the community, this webpage would also be a place to share updated information
about the initiative publicly, such as new resources available.

Staff have identified additional partners, including the Arizona Attorney General’s Office
and the Cities of Tucson and Flagstaff, to support this work. Collaboration with these
entities will enable resource sharing and coordinated information exchange, promoting
transparency. These partnerships will help ensure that any resulting actions are legally
defensible and minimize risks, while addressing community concerns. Data and
information regarding the CTI will also be made available to our Congressional
representatives in order to ensure they are fully informed about the impacts to
Phoenix.

Additionally, there are many opportunities to continue to collaborate with community-
based organizations engaged in services to residents of the city of Phoenix. For
example, we are evaluating potential partnerships with organizations that may be able
to provide focused resources to the business community. This collaborative work will
be an ongoing component of the CTI as it is implemented.

4. Ensure multilingual communication channels across City services and
resources.


To support the fourth directive of the CTI, staff are utilizing several resources to ensure
services and resources are shared with the community through multilingual channels.
A primary multilingual channel to shared City services and resources is through the
updated City of Phoenix website, and specifically, the City’s new Know Your Rights
webpage. The website is capable of translating information on City services and
resources in more than 120 languages. Where possible, the City will also link to
resources in multiple languages on the CTI resource pages. Additionally, any
information about the Community Transparency Initiative will be communicated in
multiple languages.

Additionally, Phoenix City Council meetings offer captioning and translation services
through Wordly, a third-party translation and interpretation platform. Wordly
automatically transcribes meetings into 67 languages and provides speaker
interpretation services for 60 languages.

5. Implement training for City employees who may encounter federal
enforcement actions, including protocols related to administrative and judicial
warrants.
To support the fifth directive of the CTI, staff are developing training and additional
resources for all City staff regarding what to do if a staff member encounters federal
enforcement officials. The following documents have been prepared to support City
staff regarding any potential encounters with federal officials:
· Guidelines for City Staff - Provides procedures for responding to federal officials
entering City facilities, including supervisor notification, documentation of agent
details, legal review of warrants, and professional conduct. Includes a staff script
and an Incident Report Template capturing date, time, agency information, actions
taken, and number of staff/public present.
· Federal Guidelines Training Video - Supports staff readiness by illustrating
procedures from the written guidelines, including response protocols, scripts, and
documentation steps.
· Resource Card - Provides a quick-reference of operational guidance, including a
staff script. Blank customizable template for staff to insert supervisor and
department leadership contact information.

6. Develop options for the Council to consider relating to outside
organizations, staging in our parks and preserve and other city property.
To support the sixth directive of the CTI, staff have developed a proposed
Administrative Regulation (A.R.) regarding the use of City-Owned and City-Controlled
property for civil law enforcement (Attachment A).




The proposed A.R. establishes standards for the use, access, and designation of City-
Owned and City-Controlled property, with some exceptions, to protect public use and
enjoyment of City facilities, maintain operational integrity, and ensure City resources
best serve residents. City property exists for public use and enjoyment in support of
authorized City purposes. The City has a duty to ensure that all real and personal
property under its ownership and control is used appropriately. Accordingly, City-
Owned and City-Controlled property may be used only for authorized City purposes
and shall not be used for any unauthorized or non-City purposes. Prohibited uses
include, but are not limited to, using City property as a staging area, processing
location, or operations base for civil law enforcement actions, unless approved by the
City Manager, or their designee.

The Administrative Regulation also establishes requirements for staff to maintain an
annual inventory of City properties and to develop and update an Access Control Plan
for those locations. This plan must include appropriate signage limiting or prohibiting
the staging, deployment, or operational use of City property by law enforcement
agencies except as expressly authorized by the City Manager, or their designee.

The City Manager’s Office recommends the Mayor and City Council approve a
directive to the City Manager to authorize and implement the Administrative
Regulation: Use of City-Owned and City-Controlled Property for Civil Law
Enforcement. This A.R is written to sunset in 2029 unless the directive to implement is
extended by the City Council.

Legal Considerations
Arizona Revised Statutes 11-1051 (A) states, “No official or agency of this state or a
county, city, town or other political subdivision of this state may limit or restrict the
enforcement of federal immigration laws to less than the full extent permitted by
federal law.” This restriction limits the ability of the City of Phoenix to act and is a
unique legal environment in comparison to cities and other jurisdictions outside
Arizona.

Financial Impact and Previous Council Action
On March 4, the Phoenix City Council authorized $1 million to enter into an agreement
with law firm Coppersmith Brockelman to provide legal counsel to the City on matters
related to federal actions impacting the City of Phoenix.

As part of the initiative, staff are monitoring additional potential financial impacts and
will keep the Council informed of additional resources that may be required.




Public Outreach and Process
Since the February 10 Work Study Session, the Mayor, City Council members, and
staff have held several meetings and listening sessions on this topic. Additionally, staff
presented to and received feedback from the City’s Human Relations Commission.

The overwhelming sentiment of the feedback received is that these measures are
important steps, however, there are additional potential actions identified by
stakeholders that would augment the CTI. Stakeholders also expressed a desire to
continue to work together collaboratively to address this important community concern.

Office.

MCAQD necessary to accept and disburse the grant funds. Further request
authorization for the City Treasurer to accept, and for the City Controller to
disburse, grant funds in accordance with the terms of the aforementioned grant and
agreement.

Summary
The Transportation Electrification Action Plan (TEAP), approved by Mayor and City
Council in June 2022, set a goal of installing 500 City-hosted public EV charging
stations by 2030 using local, state, and federal funding. Phoenix currently has 39
public EV charging stations (140 Level 2 ports), installed on City-owned property.
MCAQD CFI funding would help contribute to the 2030 goal and address existing EV
charging gaps.

In January 2025, Phoenix was awarded $15 million through the Round 2 CFI
discretionary grant program for EV charging infrastructure, mobile solar units, solar
carports, and micro mobility charging stations. As of February 2026, the funds remain
on hold due to a federal suspension of EV grant programs. Arizona’s Attorney General
joined a multistate lawsuit challenging the suspension, but the court ruling is still
pending and CFI funds are still inaccessible.

MCAQD received $15 million from the Federal Highway Administration through the CFI
grant process, releasing $13.5 million available for subawards. The program
reimburses qualifying Maricopa County Travel Reduction Program participants up to
80 percent for installing public EV charging stations. All expenses must be submitted
by September 30, 2029, for reimbursement. The OOS received approval from the
following departments: Parks and Recreation, Community and Economic
Development, and Public Transit to include three publicly accessible locations for EV


charger installations. Attachment A lists each facility’s name, address, City Council
district, and number of proposed Level 2 and DCFC ports. These locations were
previously included in CFI Round 1. Attachment B provides the proposed project
siting criteria.

Project requirements include the following:
· Up to five charging stations at up to five locations.
· At least four charging ports capable of charging simultaneously.
· Minimum Alternate Current (AC) Level 2 chargers with at least 97 percent uptime.
· Price for EV charging and the price structure must be on display prior to initiating a
charging transaction.
· Must provide access for users with limited English proficiency and people with
disabilities.

These funds will help the City advance it’s TEAP goals, cut greenhouse gas emissions,
reduce noise, improve air quality, attract investment, boost local commerce, create
installation and maintenance jobs, address “EV charging deserts” for residents without
private garages, and prepare for future mandates and the transition to more electric
transportation.

The grant application deadline is March 27, 2026. Funding award notifications will be
distributed in early June 2026.

Contract Term
The grant will require the City to sign a Subaward Agreement with MCAQD and
contract term is for five years.

Financial Impact
This is an 80/20 federal grant, where MCAQD, through the CFI grant funding, will
reimburse 80 percent of project costs, and the City of Phoenix provides a 20 percent
non-federal match. The 20 percent match funding, for approximately $650,000, is
available in the Capital Improvement Program utilizing 2023 General Obligation bond
funds.

Acquisition of Vacant Land in Spark Area 2 Located at 627 S. 9th Place
(Ordinance S-52693) - District 8

Request to authorize the City Manager, or the City Manager's designee, to acquire all
rights, title, and interest to vacant real property located at 627 S. 9th Place within the
City's appraised value plus usual and customary closing costs. Acquisition is to be by
voluntary purchase from Michele N Chavez Trust. Funding is available through the
City's 2023 General Obligation Bond Program. Further request to authorize the City
Controller to disburse, and the City Treasurer to accept, all funds related to this item.

Summary
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport’s Land Reuse Strategy (LRS) was developed
in 2017 to address the reuse and redevelopment of fragmented City-owned parcels
acquired through the Community Noise Reduction Program, located roughly between
7th and 16th streets, Washington Street and University Drive. LRS identified three
Spark Areas with Spark Area 2 and its City-owned parcels generally located northeast
of the corner of 7th Street and Buckeye Road. In 2023, the City sought General
Obligation Bond funds for the LRS Spark Area 2 Land Acquisitions Project. This
Project will fund the acquisition of private parcels, as they become available, to fill in
ownership gaps and facilitate redevelopment in this area.

A number of City departments, led by the Aviation Department, conducted community
participation sessions over a two-year period. The Aviation LRS plan was the outcome
of this community collaboration. In order to execute on the LRS, additional sites will
need to be acquired to ensure the contiguous properties needed to develop the plan.
The contiguous properties would then move forward through the Request for
Proposals process at the City Council's approval.

The property to be acquired is strategically located within the LRS’s Spark Area 2. The
property consists of one vacant parcel and is approximately 4,370 square feet owned
by Michele N Chavez Trust (Owner). The Owner agreed to voluntarily sell the real
property to the City for appraised value. The purchase agreement will contain terms
and conditions deemed necessary or appropriate.




The parcels to be acquired are located at 627 S. 9th Place, identified by Maricopa
County Assessor's parcel number 116-37-041.

Financial Impact
General Obligation Bond funding is available in the Community and Economic
Development Department's Capital Improvement Program budget.

Report

Amend Ordinance to Include Specific Agreement Terms for the Resource
Innovation Campus Development (Ordinance S-52698) - District 7

Request to authorize the City Manager, or the City Manager's designee, to amend
Ordinance S-51535 to incorporate finalized agreement terms for the Development
Agreement, Ground Lease, and Feedstock Agreement related to the development of
the Resource Innovation Campus (RIC) resulting from participation in the Reinventing
Cities Program.

Summary
On December 18, 2024, City Council authorized the City Manager, or the City
Manager's designee, to enter into a development agreement and execute any related
agreements, instruments, or documents necessary with Krause Interior Architecture,
Inc., and its affiliates or subsidiaries, for development of the RIC resulting from
participation in the Reinventing Cities Program. Council further authorized the City
Treasurer to accept and the City Controller to disburse funds associated with the
ordinance.

Ordinance S-51535 initially established a two-phased approach with a five-year
contract term beginning on or about December 18, 2024, with no options to extend.
Phase II contemplated amending the term up to a maximum of 99 years.

Since Council approval, environmental assessments, land appraisals, fair market lease
rate assessments, and parcel preparation have been completed. The Developer has
provided documentation demonstrating financial capacity to complete construction. As
a result, the previously contemplated pilot demonstrations and two-phased structure
are no longer necessary.

This request amends the Ordinance to incorporate finalized agreement terms,
eliminate the two-phase structure, and establish the following key provisions:

Ground Lease
· Approximately 22 acres located on the eastern portion of the southeast corner of
35th Avenue and Elwood Street will be leased for a term of 99 years.
· “Net Rent” shall equal one-fourth (1/4) of the Appraised Rental Value (determined


annually) for the applicable phase(s), less any quarterly Diversion Deduction offset
credit.
· “Diversion Deduction” shall mean, on a quarterly basis, amounts owed by the City
to the Tenant pursuant to the Feedstock Agreement, as reflected on the Tenant’s
invoice, up to the Appraised Rental Value for that quarter. Offset credits will only be
earned based on the applicable quarterly Diversion Deduction. The credit is an
offset of funds that would have been otherwise directed toward landfill operations
costs by the Public Works Department and is not an additional payment.

Tenant shall have the right to use the Premises for circular economy solution
development, including but not limited to:
· Municipal solid waste and organic waste;
· Difficult-to-recycle plastics (#3, #4, #6, #7);
· Lithium-ion batteries and electronic waste;
· Textile waste;
· Construction and demolition waste; and
· Industrial, research, educational, office, and retail uses associated with circular
economy activities.

The City may consider additional uses aligned with the 2050 Sustainability Goals,
Phoenix Climate Action Plan, Rio Reimagined Initiative, and other environmental
sustainability initiatives upon written request by Tenant.

The Campus Headquarters Building shall obtain one Petal Certification under the
Living Building Challenge. All other permanent buildings shall, as applicable, obtain
LEED v4.1 Building Design and Construction Certification and demonstrate
compliance with energy efficiency, low-carbon energy, life cycle assessment, and
sustainable materials management principles consistent with the C40 Reinventing
Cities Competition requirements.

At least 30 days prior to the effective date of any Sublease, Tenant shall provide
written notice to the Community and Economic Development Director and the Public
Works Director for review and approval.

Development Agreement
The Development Agreement confirms RIC PHX, LLC as the Developer and confirms
that the Developer does not intend to seek reimbursement from the City for Public
Infrastructure Improvements.
Feedstock Agreement
· Term: 50 years following the Commercial Operation Date, with four 10-year renewal


options and one additional nine-year renewal option, unless earlier terminated or
extended as provided.
· RIC PHX, LLC will serve as Operator.

“Feedstock” means waste collected and delivered by the City to the 27th Avenue
Transfer Station from residential customers and not otherwise obligated under existing
agreements, including the WeCare Denali Agreement or the Circular Services
Agreement.

Key provisions include:
· No obligation for Operator to accept, nor for City to supply, Feedstock between the
Effective Date and the Commercial Operation Date.
· After the Commercial Operation Date, City shall maintain availability of Feedstock
not otherwise under contract, and Operator shall accept such Feedstock and
prioritize City-provided material.
· If Operator elects to receive additional Feedstock from other City locations, the
parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine actual transfer costs. Such costs
will reflect the City’s current contracted hauling rate and will be deducted from Post
Collection Operational Costs.
· “Post Collection Operational Costs” means post-collection operational costs
associated with transporting refuse from the 27th Avenue Transfer Station to SR85
landfill, as defined in the Feedstock Agreement. This is affiliated with the "Diversion
Deduction" rent credit and is not an additional payment.

Contract Term
This amendment establishes a 99-year Ground Lease term and a 50-year Feedstock
Agreement term, with renewal options as described above.

Financial Impact
The primary financial impact to the City consists of providing the feedstock, which
consists of municipal solid waste, difficult-to-recycle plastics, and other materials
otherwise destined for landfill. This allows for less solid waste being transported to the
landfill and placed in the landfill, which will save operational costs and prolong the life
of the landfill. Both of these help lower solid waste operational costs over the long term
agreement period.

Concurrence/Previous Council Action
The Economic Development and Housing Subcommittee recommended approval on
November 25, 2024, by a vote of 4-0.

Zone 3D and 4A Improvements Program Water Treatment Plant Booster Pump

WS85100050, WS85100052, and WS85110006 (Ordinance S-52684) - District 1

Request to authorize the City Manager, or the City Manager's designee, to execute an
amendment to Agreement 148954 with Wilson Engineers, LLC to provide additional
Construction Administration and Inspection Services for the Zone 3D and 4A
Improvements Program Water Treatment Plant Booster Pump Stations Project. Further
request to authorize execution of amendments to the agreement as necessary within
the Council-approved expenditure authority as provided below, and for the City
Controller to disburse all funds related to this item. The additional fee for services
included in this amendment will not exceed $1,749,982.91.

Summary
The purpose of this project is to replace the existing Finished Water Pump Station
(FWPS) at the Deer Valley Water Treatment Plant (DVWTP) to provide resiliency for
the water system and increase the plant's pumping capacity to supplement water in
the northern portions of Phoenix's water service area. The City of Phoenix Water
Services Department completed a study that identified infrastructure improvements to
move water in the distribution system, as needed, in the event there are restrictions
placed on Colorado River water delivered through the Central Arizona Project (CAP).
The City of Phoenix treats CAP water at the Union Hills and Lake Pleasant Water
Treatment Plants, which supply water to north Phoenix. Following completion of the
Project, the new pump station at the DVWTP will be able to augment the water supply
in areas that have typically received water from the City's CAP plants. In order to
replace the FWPS, it will be necessary to move the existing chemical storage and feed
facilities at the FWPS. The first phase of the Project will include relocation and
demolition of the chemical facilities, and the second phase will include construction of
the new FWPS.

This amendment is necessary because of the need to reprogram the timing of the
construction of the Project due to a 22-month pause in the project, cost increases, and
a change of the company that provided the Construction Manager at Risk services.
This amendment will provide additional funds and time to the agreement.




Contract Term
The term of the agreement amendment is 975 calendar days from the issuance of the
Notice to Proceed. Work scope identified and incorporated into the agreement prior to
the end of the term may be agreed to by the parties, and work may extend past the
termination of the agreement. No additional changes may be executed after the end of
the term.

Financial Impact
The initial agreement for Engineering Services was approved for an amount not to
exceed $11,590,000, including all subconsultant and reimbursable costs. This
amendment will increase the agreement cost by an additional $1,749,982.91, for a
new total amount not to exceed $13,339,982.91, including all subconsultant and
reimbursable costs.

Funding for this amendment is available in the Water Services Department's Capital
Improvement Program. The Budget and Research Department will separately review
and approve funding availability prior to the execution of any amendments. Payments
may be made up to agreement limits for all rendered agreement services, which may
extend past the agreement termination.

The Abandonment Hearing Officer heard this request on March 13, 2025, and took it
under advisement. The Hearing Officer took the request out from under advisement on
May 15, 2025, and rendered a decision of denial. During testimony given to the Hearing
Officer, citizens stated that they used the alley and required access. The applicant filed an
appeal of the Hearing Officer's decision on May 30, 2025.

Since the decision of the Hearing Officer was made, staff have learned that the applicant
and the affected citizens have both stated that the access issue can be addressed by the
applicant providing a private easement to the affected citizens, ensuring that their use
would not be cut off.

Should the City Council choose to overturn the Hearing Officer's denial and approve a
modified abandonment along South Lafayette Boulevard, the following conditions
and stipulations should be applied:

All stipulations must be completed within two years from the City Council's decision.

1. Either a or b shall be complied with:
a. All utilities shall be relocated to locations approved by each affected utility
company. All work is to be done by each affected utility company at no

agreement, in an approved form and cost amount, must be posted with the
Planning and Development Department to guarantee the improvements.

b. All rights-of-way shall be retained as a public utilities easement with 24-hour
vehicle maintenance access.

Report

Master Intergovernmental Agreement with Arizona State University and Other
Affiliated Research Entities for Research Services Associated with City Projects
(Ordinance S-52725) - Citywide

Request to authorize the City Manager, or the City Manager's designee, to enter into a
Master Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the Arizona Board of Regents,
Arizona State University (ASU), for services associated with City research projects.
This agreement covers any ASU affiliated research entities such as, but not limited to,
the Morrison Institute for Public Policy and Arizona Research Center for Housing and
Economic Solutions (ARCHES). Further request authorization to supplement the
Master Agreement with agreed-upon scopes of work for individual research projects
(IRP) as necessary within the Council-approved expenditure authority. IRP
supplements to this Master Agreement will need to identify funding cost, sources, and
a scope of work. Further, request an exception to Phoenix City Code Section 42-18 to
authorize inclusion of indemnification and assumption of liability provisions in the
agreement that would otherwise be prohibited and to allow for mutual indemnification
pursuant to Phoenix City Code Section 42-20 for public entities.

Summary
The City would like the ability to partner with ASU on any type of research study where
staff has identified that additional research expertise may be beneficial to meet the
needs of the City. For example, the Morrison Institute for Public Policy is a nonpartisan
research center housed within ASU that produces rigorous, independent research and
analysis to help communities and partners make data-informed decisions. A
subsequent agenda item on this agenda is approval of a scope of work and funding
authorization to engage the services of the Morrison Institute to conduct a Middle
Housing Study for the Planning and Development Department.

Contract Term
Upon Council approval, the term of the IGA will be for five years.






Financial Impact
There is no financial impact for this Master IGA.

Responsible Department
This item is submitted by Deputy City Manager Alan Stephenson and the City
Manager's Office.








Report

Agreement with Arizona State University and its Morrison Institute and Arizona
Research Center for Housing and Economic Solutions (ARCHES) to Conduct a
Middle Housing Study (Ordinance S-52726) - Citywide

Request to authorize the City Manager, or the City Manager's designee, to agree to a
scope of work and funding authorization for a Middle Housing study for the Planning
and Development Department to be performed under a Master Intergovernmental
Agreement (IGA) with the Arizona Board of Regents, Arizona State University (ASU),
for services associated with City research projects. A previous agenda item on this
agenda is approval of that IGA. The research services under this Middle Housing
scope of work will be conducted by the Morrison Institute at ASU, for which staff is
seeking spending authority to cover half of the overall research cost of $132,140.
Further request to authorize the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this
item. The total financial impact to the City is $66,070, and the other half of the cost is
being covered by ASU.

Summary
On November 19, 2025, Phoenix City Council held a meeting to consider the City of
Phoenix Planning and Development recommendations for a new Middle Housing
overlay to comply with the State Legislation (SB2721) that requires all cities of
populations at or above 75,000 to allow middle housing within a mile of the city’s
central business district. The overlay passed unanimously, but the City Council has
requested a study to assess middle housing barriers, evaluate middle housing
implementation efforts in other cities, and identify potential options for expanding
affordable/attainable middle housing in Phoenix.

The study will be structured around key research questions focused on middle housing
defined by housing forms that include 2-4 dwelling units per acre. Given the breadth of
the principles outlined and the urgency to support decision-making, the attached scope
of work has been developed and will be conducted over the next year. Additional
questions may emerge throughout the study and could be considered for subsequent
phases if directed by the Mayor and City Council.

Contract Term
The term of this scope of work will not exceed one year.




Financial Impact
The total financial impact on the City to conduct the Study is $66,070 and will come
from the Planning and Development Department's budget.

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








Report

Authorization to Grant Aligned Data Centers (Behrend) Propco, LLC (Aligned) a
Binding Waiver of Enforcement (Waiver) of the Special Permit Provisions for
Data Centers (Ordinance S-52717) - District 1

Request authority to grant Aligned Data Centers (Behrend) Propco, LLC (Aligned) a
Binding Waiver of Enforcement (Waiver) of the Special Permit Provisions for Data
Centers under Ordinance G-7396.

Summary
Following the City of Phoenix’s adoption of Ordinance G-7396 on July 2, 2025, which
established a regulatory framework for data centers, Aligned submitted a demand to
the City under Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) Section 12-1134, asserting that the
ordinance diminished the fair market value of its property located at Assessor's Parcel
Numbers 206-12-206, 206-12-207, and 206-12-208B.

Parcel Address: 3151 W. Behrend Drive,19640 N. 31st Avenue, and 3202 W. Behrend
Drive, Phoenix, AZ 85027
Owner: Aligned Data Centers (Behrend) Propco, LLC
Representative: Tony Freeman, Rose Law Group P.C.

Pursuant to A.R.S. Section 12-1134(E), Ordinance G-7396 authorizes the City Council,
in its sole discretion, to grant binding waivers of the special permit requirements for
data centers. In accordance with this provision, Aligned has formally requested such a
waiver. The special permit requirements set forth in Ordinance G-7396 were enacted
by the City Council to address public health and safety concerns and to mitigate
adverse secondary impacts on surrounding neighborhoods, businesses, and residents.

The purpose of the City's requirements are to protect public health and safety.
Therefore, the Waiver requires the proposed data center to address and mitigate
potential health and safety impacts on neighboring properties, including among other
things, fire and public safety threats, hazardous materials, energy use, water use, and
noise pollution. The Waiver describes requirements for each category to comply with
Ordinance G-7396. At the City’s request, Aligned has submitted detailed information
and committed to measures designed to mitigate the potential impacts of its proposed
data center. Specific requirements will be outlined in the Waiver, which will be available



to the public 24 hours prior to the meeting. The requirements may be modified after the
Waiver is published.

The Planning and Development Department reviewed these submissions and
determined that the Waiver request meets all the submittal requirements. Staff found
that Aligned's mitigation commitments appear to adequately address the ordinance’s
public health and safety objectives. The City Manager reviewed and makes a
recommendation to approve the attached Waiver request.

BINDING WAIVER OF ENFORCEMENT



T
THIS BINDING WAIVER OF ENFORCEMENT (“Waiver”) is granted by the City of Phoenix
(the “City”) as of the date of City Council approval set forth below to Aligned Data Centers
(Behrend) Propco, LLC (the “Owner”) as owner of the real property located at 3151 W. Behrend
Drive, Phoenix, AZ 85027 (APN 206-12-206), 19640 N. 31st Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85027 (APN

Recitals:

A. On July 2, 2025, the Phoenix City Council adopted Ordinance G-7396 (the “Data Center
Regulations”) amending the City of Phoenix Zoning Ordinance to establish data centers as
a defined use and to allow this use in certain zoning districts within the City, pursuant to a
special permit that addresses health and safety impacts common to this land use (the
“Special Permit”). The primary purpose of a Special Permit is to protect public health and
safety by requiring the proposed data center to address and mitigate potential health and




DR
safety impacts on neighboring properties, including, among other things, fire and public
safety threats, hazardous materials, energy use, water use, and noise pollution.

B. Pursuant to A.R.S. § 12-1134 (“Proposition 207”), private property owners may seek
compensation if they believe enactment of a land use law results in a diminution in value
of the private real property as of the date of its enactment. By its terms, Proposition 207
does not apply to land use laws enacted to protect the public’s health and safety.
Proposition 207 allows the City to issue a binding waiver of enforcement of the land use
law to avoid any demand for compensation.

C. On October 13, 2025, Owner submitted a demand for $75,435,397 of compensation under
Proposition 207, for alleged impacts relating to the Data Center Regulations (the “Claim”).

D. In response to the Claim, the City requested health and safety information from the Owner
to evaluate whether the Owner’s proposed use of the Property for a data center included
sufficient health and safety mitigation measures to allow for a data center use on the
Property without unreasonable impacts to public health and safety.




E. The Owner desires to foster good relationships with the surrounding neighbors and the
City.

F. In response to the City’s request, the Owner has provided the City with health and safety
information for evaluation. The Owner acknowledges that, to the best of its knowledge and
belief, the health and safety information submitted to the City for review is a true and
accurate description and depiction of the future location and operation of the data center
on the Property.

G. The City Manager has reviewed and evaluated the submitted information and has prepared
a recommendation to the City Council to issue the Owner this Waiver, subject to the terms
and conditions herein, to use the Property for a data center without adhering to the Special



T
Permit requirement in Section 5 of the Data Center Regulations, codified at Section
647.A.2.kk of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Phoenix (the “Waived Requirements”).
