Request to Amend Victim Services and Prosecutor’s Office Client Transportation
Services Contract 157030 (Ordinance S-52394) - Citywide

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to amend Canyon Taxi, LLC
Contract 157030 to add $6,000 in additional funds. The revised total contract value will
not exceed $21,366. Further request authorization for the City Controller to disburse all
funds related to this item for the life of the contract.

Summary
The Human Services Department (HSD) Victim Services Division (VSD) utilizes
Canyon Taxi, LLC to provide transportation for victims of violent crimes. Often, VSD
clients lack transportation and do not live near supportive services providers. To
remove this barrier, staff use taxi services to transport victims to supportive services
and back home.

The Law Department Victim Services Unit uses taxi services to transport victims of
violent crimes to court hearings or to social services agencies for supportive services.
This transportation is essential because a victim may need to testify in a case or be
taken to an agency that provides support throughout the legal process.

The additional funding will support the City’s Head Start Birth to Five program’s use of
taxicab services. Head Start provides comprehensive education and social services
through two programs: Early Head Start (serving children from birth to three years old)
and Head Start (serving children from three to five years old). These programs deliver
services to children and families in core areas of early learning, health, socialization,
and family well-being while engaging parents as partners.

Contract Term
The contract term remains unchanged, ending on July 31, 2027, with no options to
extend.

Financial Impact
The total value of the contract will not exceed $21,366. Funding is available from the
Department of Health and Human Services, the Human Services and the Law

Request authorization for the City Manager, or his designee, to amend Contract
159170, Bobby Yang, DDS, LLC, to add $288,000 in additional funds. The revised total
contract value will not exceed $668,000. Further request authorization for the City
Controller to disburse all funds related to this item for the life of the contract. Funds are
available from the United States Department of Health and Human Services,
Administration of Children, Youth, and Families (DHHS).

Summary
Head Start provides comprehensive education and social services through two
programs: Early Head Start (serving children from birth to three years old) and Head
Start (serving children from three to five years old). These programs deliver services to
children and families in core areas of early learning, health, socialization, and family
well-being while engaging parents as partners.

Dental care is important for children because untreated dental problems inevitably lead
to severe pain, systemic infection, and sometimes death. Children with untreated
dental problems often have trouble eating, have behavioral problems due to the pain,
and perform poorly in school.

Head Start regulations require all children to undergo annual dental exams.
Unfortunately, in Arizona, the resources available for free or reduced-cost dental care
are extremely limited, and the demand far exceeds the available resources. For this
reason, funding for dental services is the primary means by which uninsured children
can access the necessary dental care.

Procurement Information
Bobby Yang, DDS, LLC, was initially awarded through a Request for Qualifications
(RFQu), RFQu-22-EDU-77. One offer was received on June 23, 2023, in response to
the RFQu.

Contract Term
The term of the contract remains unchanged from September 1, 2023, through August



30, 2028.

Expenditures will not exceed $668,000. Funding is available from the DHHS.

Employer-Developed Registered Apprenticeship Employer Program Contracts
(Ordinance S-52424) - Citywide

Request to authorize the City Manager, or the City Manager's designee, to enter into
contracts with employers and other entities that will participate in employer-developed
Registered Apprenticeship Programs and provide funding to support these programs.
Further request authorization for the City Treasurer to accept, and for the City
Controller to disburse all funds related to this item. The total aggregate value of the
contracts will not exceed $650,000.

Summary
The Phoenix Business and Workforce Development Board (Board) provides strategic
guidance for workforce programs and coordinates efforts with employers, education
partners, and state agencies to develop career pathways in high-demand sectors for
the City. The Board was established as a requirement of the City's Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) grant funds, in addition to providing this critical
community stakeholder feedback and direction for Phoenix.

The Board identified apprenticeship expansion as a key focal point in its strategic plan
to strengthen the regional talent pipeline and meet employer workforce needs. While
the Board provides strategic oversight and program sponsorship, the Community and
Economic Development Department (CEDD), serves as the registered apprenticeship
program sponsor and fiscal intermediary. In this role, CEDD is responsible for
executing contracts, managing funds, and ensuring compliance with all applicable
state, federal, and City requirements. These employer-developed apprenticeship
programs are separate from and not a part of the City of Phoenix's existing registered
apprenticeship training programs.

Working with the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) Industry Intermediary, the National
Institute for Industry and Career Advancements (NIICA), the Board collaborated with
education and industry partners to create training standards for Registered
Apprenticeship Programs that can be replicated across employers. In January 2024,
the City registered its first apprenticeship program in the semiconductor and advanced
manufacturing field for Industrial Maintenance Technicians (Facilities Technicians) in
partnership with the Maricopa Community College District (MCCCD) and TSMC



Arizona Corporation. Subsequently, two additional programs were launched:
· Manufacturing Technician Apprenticeship-Equipment Technician (Program length:
12-18 months).
· Nanotechnology Technician Apprenticeship-Process Technician (Program length: 24
-36 months).

The Registered Apprenticeship Programs were developed collaboratively with
MCCCD's Estrella Mountain and Rio Salado community colleges and Northern Arizona
University (NAU). These programs provide a pathway for participants to advance
within the semiconductor and advanced manufacturing sectors. Apprenticeships
combine paid employment with structured related technical instruction (RTI), allowing
participants to earn while they learn. Nationally, 93 percent of apprentices remain
employed after completion, and every $1 invested in apprenticeship programs yields a
$1.47 return on investment.

The first apprenticeship program, with eight Facilities Technicians, began in April 2024,
and was supported through the City's AZQuest Grant, a DOL National Dislocated
Worker Grant in partnership with the Arizona Office of Economic Opportunity. A second
cohort, including 10 Process Technicians, 18 Manufacturing Technicians, and 18
Facilities Technicians costing $127,502, was funded by the SEMI Foundation through
the Arizona Commerce Authority Apprenticeship Expansion Grant. Moving forward, the
estimated program costs per participant ranges from $1,300 to $5,000, with future
cohorts estimated at approximately $216,666 annually, reflecting the investment
required to deliver high-quality training and support services.

If this request is approved, CEDD staff will coordinate with education partners and
employers to ensure delivery of RTI, maintain participant and employer records and
report outcomes through the DOL Registered Apprenticeship Partners Information
Database System (RAPIDS), coordinate with the Arizona Department of Economic
Security Apprenticeship Office, and promote apprenticeship opportunities within the
community. Staff will also administer employer contracts, monitor wage progression
schedules, and ensure equal opportunity compliance. Through its sponsorship role,
the City provides employers with a streamlined pathway to participate in Registered
Apprenticeship Programs while ensuring accountability, quality, and alignment with the
Board's and City's workforce priorities.

Employer contracts will: 1) define on-the-job training standards, mentorship
expectations, and performance reporting; 2) ensure compliance with safety,
nondiscrimination, and equal opportunity laws; 3) provide for submission of apprentice
progress, hours worked, and wage updates; and 4) specify funding obligations to



support the apprenticeships, education, and administrative and compliance costs.
CEDD will also continue to oversee program operations, including employer outreach,
coordination with partners, management of funds, and collaboration with the Arizona
Department of Economic Security Apprenticeship Office.

The program is currently supported by staff funded by WIOA; however, approval of this
action would allow the City to offset staff and administrative costs through the funding
received from participating employers and other entities.

Contract Term
The term of the contracts will be three years.

Financial Impact
The total aggregate value of the contracts will not exceed $650,000. Funding will be
provided from participating employers and other entities. There is no impact to the
General Fund.

Request to authorize the City Manager, or the City Manager's designee, to enter into
Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with the Maricopa County Community College
District (MCCCD) and Northern Arizona University (NAU) to provide related technical
instruction (RTI) and educational services for the Phoenix Business and Workforce
Development Board (Board) employer-developed apprenticeship programs. Further
request authorization for the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item.
The total aggregate value will not exceed $650,000.

Summary
The Board provides strategic guidance for workforce programs under the Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), collaborating with employers, education
institutions, and state agencies to develop career pathways in high-demand sectors.
As outlined in its strategic plan, the Board has identified apprenticeship expansion as a
key strategy to strengthen the regional talent pipeline and address employer workforce
needs. While the Board offers strategic oversight and program sponsorship, the
Community and Economic Development Department (CEDD), serves as the registered

Apprenticeships combine paid employment with structured RTI, allowing participants to
earn while they learn. Nationally, 93 percent of apprentices remain employed after
completion, and every $1 invested in apprenticeship programs yields a $1.47 return on
investment. The Board, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Labor's (USDOL)
Industry Intermediary, the National Institute for Industry and Career Advancements
(NIICA), collaborated with education and industry partners to develop standardized
training programs that can be replicated across employers.

In January 2024, CEDD registered its first Employer-Developed Registered



Apprenticeship program in semiconductor and advanced manufacturing for Industrial
Maintenance Technician (Facilities Technician), in partnership with MCCCD and TSMC
Arizona Corporation. Subsequently, two additional programs were launched:
· Manufacturing Technician Apprenticeship - Equipment Technician (12-18 months).

Facilities Technicians was supported by a $127,502 grant from the SEMI Foundation
through the Arizona Commerce Authority Apprenticeship Expansion Grant.

To ensure program quality and accountability, Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs)
will be established with MCCCD and NAU. These MOUs outline classroom instruction,
payment processes, and record-keeping requirements; include data-sharing provisions
to track enrollment, joint marketing efforts and coordination of letters of support and
outcomes; ensure instruction aligns with approved apprenticeship standards; and
require regular progress reports and invoices tied to performance and payment
schedules.

CEDD staff coordinate with education partners and employers to deliver RTI, maintain
participant and employer records, and report outcomes through the U.S. Department
of Labor's Register Apprenticeship Partners Information System (RAPIDS), coordinate
with Arizona Department of Economic Security Apprenticeship Office, and promote
apprenticeship opportunities within the community.

As part of the proposed MOU terms for MCCCD and NAU, CEDD will expend funds
received through the employer contracts and other entities from the Employer
Developed Registered Apprenticeship Program. This request is in alignment with the
City's strategic plan to focus on Economic Development and Education, CEDD's goals
to develop a skilled workforce in high-growth and high-wage sectors, and the Board’s
Strategic Plan to strengthen employer partnerships and create sustainable career



pathways in high-demand industries.

Contract Term
The term of the MOUs will be three years with one two-year renewal option.

Financial Impact
The total aggregate value of the MOUs will not exceed $650,000. Funding will be
provided by the Employer Agreements and other entities. There is no impact to the
General Fund.

NVLS (LEARN) Database Subscription Services - RFA 18-011 - Amendment
(Ordinance S-52433) - Citywide

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute amendments to
Contract 150498 with Vigilant Solutions, LLC for an entity change to Motorola
Solutions, Inc. Further request to authorize the City Controller to disburse all funds
related to this item. No additional funds are needed and request to continue using prior
applicable ordinances.

Summary
This contract provides Phoenix Police Department (PPD) with automatic license plate
reader equipment and subscription services to the National Vehicle Location Service
(NVLS) database. The service also includes the Law Enforcement Archival and
Reporting Network (LEARN) database, an online analytic platform that allows license
plate data and images to be aggregated and analyzed for law enforcement. LEARN is
a hosted solution that allows data sharing interoperability with other law enforcement
agencies nationwide.

Together, the NVLS-LEARN subscription service helps reduce auto thefts and related
crimes involving vehicles, increases auto theft vehicle recovery rates, and increases
investigative leads to identify and recover vehicles used in the commission of both
property and violent crimes.

The data collected by each City of Phoenix License Plate Readers (LPRs) is retained
by Motorola in a Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) compliant, cloud-based
environment for a retention period defined by the City of Phoenix, which will be a 6
month retention schedule. All data collected is owned by the PPD and Motorola does
not sell any law enforcement data to any third party vendors.

Motorola's database platform is designed to give each agency full control over its data-
sharing preferences. Agencies may choose to share data with local, county, state,
federal, and tribal partners. PPD will allow automated data sharing with Arizona law
enforcement agencies for use in local law enforcement activities only.

As a condition of automated data sharing, PPD requires audit access to any agency's



database portal that accesses Phoenix data. This audit access must allow Phoenix to:
· Identify who is accessing Phoenix data
· Understand how the data is being used, including a reason for requesting the data

This requirement ensures transparency and accountability in accordance with current
industry standards for secure data-sharing environments. Failure to provide audit
access will result in the termination of data-sharing between the PPD and the non-
compliant agency.

Any request that is from an agency outside Arizona or that is not for a local law
enforcement purpose only (i.e., a request from a multi-jurisdictional task force) will be
reviewed on a case by case basis and will include review by the Law Department.

This item has been reviewed and approved by the Information Technology Services
Department.

Contract Term
The contract term remains unchanged, ending on June 18, 2029.

Financial Impact
The aggregate value of the contract will not exceed $2,427,000, and no additional
funds are needed.

Report

Apply for the United States Department of Transportation Innovative Finance
and Asset Concession (IFAC) Grant Opportunity for Federal Fiscal Years 2024 -
26, Build America Bureau (Ordinance S-52397) - Citywide

Request to retroactively authorize the City Manager, or designee, to apply for, accept,
and if awarded, enter into agreement(s) for disbursement of federal funding from the
United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) through the Federal Fiscal Years
(FFYs) 2024-26 Innovative Finance and Asset Concession (IFAC) Grant. If awarded,
the funding will be used to initiate a planning grant. Further request to authorize the
City Treasurer to accept, and the City Controller to disburse, all funds related to this
item. Funding for this grant opportunity is available through the Build America Bureau.
The total grant funds applied for will not exceed $1 million, with no local match.

Summary
On August 13, 2025, the USDOT announced the IFAC Grant Notice of Funding
Opportunity. The IFAC Grant aims to help public entities scan their existing assets to
unlock their value and explore innovative financing, alternative delivery, and public-
private partnership opportunities. A significant focus of the IFAC Grant is to identify
existing assets that have the potential to provide additional public benefits through
asset concessions. In January 2025, the City of Phoenix identified 13 bridges requiring
replacement or rehabilitation due to structural deficiencies, functional obsolescence, or
scour-critical conditions. This analysis did not consider life-cycle costs or economic
impacts in the constrained annual maintenance budget of approximately $1.5 million.

The Bridge Asset Scan and Prioritization Project will build on this study to:

· Expand the bridge prioritization analysis to consider life-cycle costs, economic costs
and benefits, federal requirement implications, and potential efficiencies created by
bundling bridges in single procurement(s).
· Evaluate opportunities to address a broader range of asset needs by evaluating
innovative construction methodologies and alternative delivery approaches.
· Conduct a market study, risk assessment, preliminary cost estimation, and
additional technical evaluating as needed or shortlist bundled bridges to determine
viability.
· Evaluate Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) eligibility


and the potential use of TIFIA by the City and/or a private partner.
· Strengthen the department's capacity building and integrate lessons learned from
national examples of bundled bridge procurements to support future public-private
partnership opportunities, including developing public outreach and communication
materials.

Under the program eligibility, the State of Arizona has up to $4 million dollars of
funding opportunity available for this round since no funds were awarded to any local,
county or state entity within Arizona in any previous IFAC awards.

The deadline for the grant application was Wednesday, October 1, 2025.

Financial Impact
The City requested $1 million in IFAC funding. There is no financial impact to the City,
as a local agency match is not required.

Responsible Department
This item is submitted by City Manager Jeffrey Barton and the Street Transportation
Department.

Authorize Revisions to Phoenix City Code Chapter 32 (Ordinance G-7448) -
Citywide

Request City Council approval to amend Phoenix City Code 32B (Floodplains) to
update definitions to better align with current Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) standards and correct minor code deficiencies identified by Arizona
Department of Water Resources (ADWR) as part of the 2025 Community Assistance
Visit (CAV) .

Summary
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS) was
implemented in 1990 as a voluntary program for recognizing and encouraging
community floodplain management activities that exceed minimum NFIP standards.
Under the CRS, flood insurance premium rates are discounted to reward community
actions that meet the three goals of the CRS:
· Reduce flood damage to insurable property.
· Strengthen and support the insurance aspects of the NFIP.
· Encourage a comprehensive approach to floodplain management.

During the City of Phoenix 2025 CRS Cycle Verification, it was recommended that the
Definitions section, Section 32B-5, of Phoenix City Code 32B (Floodplains) (
Attachment A) be updated to better align with current FEMA or State standards.

The list of revised definitions include:
· Accessory structure
· CLOMR
· Encroachment

Article I.
Authorization and Purpose



Sec. 32B-1. Authorization and findings.

In Section 48-3610, Arizona Revised Statutes, the Arizona State Legislature authorized
incorporated cities to adopt regulations in conformance with Section 48-3609, Arizona Revised
Statutes, which are designed to promote the public health, safety and general welfare of its
citizenry. Therefore, the Phoenix City Council finds as follows:

A. The special flood hazard areas of the City of Phoenix are subject to periodic inundation
which may result in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce
and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief,
and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety and
general welfare.



The Phoenix City Code is current through Ordinance G-7402, passed July 2, 2025.




Chapter 32B, Floodplains Page 3 of 32


B. These flood losses may be caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions in special flood
hazard areas which increase flood heights and velocities and, when inadequately anchored,
cause damage in other areas. Uses that are inadequately flood-proofed, elevated or otherwise
protected from flood damage also contribute to the flood loss. (Ord. No. G-5707, 2012; Ord. No. G-
6611, 2019; Ord. No. G-7116, § 2, 2023)




Sec. 32B-2. Purpose.

It is the purpose of this chapter to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare, and
to minimize public and private losses due to flooding in specific areas by provisions designed
to:

A. Protect human life and health;

B. Minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects;

C. Minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and generally
undertaken at the expense of the general public;

D. Minimize prolonged business interruptions;

E. Minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as water and gas mains; electric,
telephone and sewer lines; and streets and bridges located in special flood hazard areas;

F. Help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of special
flood hazard areas so as to minimize blight areas caused by flooding;

G. Participate in and maintain eligibility for flood insurance and disaster relief. (Ord. No. G-5707,
2012; Ord. No. G-6611, 2019; Ord. No. G-7116, § 2, 2023)




Sec. 32B-3. Methods of reducing flood losses.

A. These regulations take precedence over any less restrictive conflicting local laws, ordinances
and codes.

B. In order to accomplish its purposes, this chapter includes methods and provisions to:


The Phoenix City Code is current through Ordinance G-7402, passed July 2, 2025.




Chapter 32B, Floodplains Page 4 of 32


1. Restrict or prohibit uses which are dangerous to health, safety, and property due to
water or erosion hazards, or which result in damaging increases in erosion or flood heights
or velocities;

2. Require that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such uses, be
protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction;

3. Control the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels, and natural protective
barriers, which help accommodate or channel floodwaters;

4. Control filling, grading, dredging, and other development which may increase flood
damage; and

5. Prevent or regulate the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally divert
floodwaters or which may increase flood hazards in other areas. (Ord. No. G-5707, 2012)




Sec. 32B-4. Implementation.

To implement the regulation of the floodplain areas in the City of Phoenix, the City Council is
designated as the Floodplain Board, and the City Engineer, or a City Engineer appointed
designee, is designated as the administrative agent for these regulations, or Floodplain
Administrator. (Ord. No. G-2027, § 2; Ord. No. G-5707, 2012; Ord. No. G-6611, 2019; Ord. No. G-7116, § 2,

Sec. 32B-7. Basis for establishing special flood hazard areas.

The special flood hazard areas identified by FEMA in a scientific and engineering report entitled
"The Flood Insurance Study (FIS) for Maricopa County, Arizona and Incorporated Areas" dated
September 30, 2005, with accompanying FIRMs dated September 30, 2005, and all subsequent
amendments and/or revisions, are hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of
this chapter. This FIS and attendant mapping is the minimum area of applicability of this
chapter and may be supplemented by studies for other areas which allow implementation of
this chapter and which are recommended to the Floodplain Administrator. The Floodplain
Administrator, within its area of jurisdiction, will delineate (or may, by rule, require developers
of land to delineate) for areas where development is ongoing or imminent, and thereafter as
development becomes imminent, floodplains consistent with the criteria developed by FEMA
and the Director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources. The FIS and FIRM panels are
on file at City of Phoenix City Hall, 200 W. Washington Street, Phoenix, AZ 85003. (Ord. No. G-5707,

A. Permit review. Review all development permits to determine that:

1. The permit requirements of this chapter have been satisfied;

2. All other required State and Federal permits have been obtained;

3. The site is reasonably safe from flooding;

4. In areas where a floodway has not been designated, that proposed development does
not adversely affect the carrying capacity of areas where base flood elevations have been
determined. For purposes of this chapter, adversely affect means that the cumulative effect
of the proposed development, when combined with all other existing and anticipated
development, will not increase the water surface elevation of the base flood more than one
foot at any point.

B. Substantial improvement and substantial damage procedures.

1. Using FEMA Publication P-758, "Substantial Improvement/Substantial Damage Desk
Reference (2010)," develop detailed procedures for identifying and administering
requirements for substantial improvement and substantial damage, to include defining

b. Ensure that the flood carrying capacity of the altered or relocated portion of said
watercourse be maintained.

2. Base flood elevation and rate of flow due to physical alterations.

a. Base flood elevations may increase or decrease resulting from physical changes
affecting flooding conditions. As soon as practicable, but not later than six months
after the date such information becomes available, the Floodplain Administrator will
notify FEMA of the changes by submitting technical or scientific data in accordance
with 44 CFR Section 65.3. Such a submission is necessary so that upon confirmation of
those physical changes affecting flooding conditions, risk premium rates and
floodplain management requirements will be based upon current data.

b. Within 120 days after completion of construction of any flood control protective
works which changes the rate of flow during the flood or the configuration of the
floodplain upstream or downstream from or adjacent to the project, the person or
agency responsible for installation of the project must provide to the governing bodies
of all jurisdictions affected by the project a new delineation of all floodplains affected
by the project. The new delineation must be done according to the criteria adopted by
the Director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources.

3. Corporate boundary changes. Notify FEMA of acquisition by means of annexation,
incorporation or otherwise, of additional areas of jurisdiction.

F. Map determinations. Make interpretations, where needed, as to the exact location of the
boundaries of the special flood hazard areas (e.g., where there appears to be a conflict between
a mapped boundary and actual field conditions). The person contesting the location of the
boundary will be given a reasonable opportunity to appeal the interpretation as provided in
Article VI of this chapter.

G. Remedial actions. Take actions on violations of this chapter as required in Section 32B-14.

Located within special flood hazard areas established in Section 32B-7 are areas designated as
floodways. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the velocity of
floodwaters which carry debris, potential projectiles and erosion potential, the following
provisions apply:

A. Prohibit encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements and
other development, unless certification by a registered professional engineer or architect is
provided demonstrating that encroachments shall not result in any increase in flood levels
during the occurrence of the base flood discharge.




The Phoenix City Code is current through Ordinance G-7402, passed July 2, 2025.




Chapter 32B, Floodplains Page 29 of 32


B. If this section is satisfied, all new construction and substantial improvements shall comply
with all other applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of Article V. (Ord. No. G-5707, 2012; Ord.
No. G-7116, § 2, 2023)




Article VI.
Variance Procedure



Sec. 32B-27. Nature of variances.

A. The variance criteria set forth in this article are based on the general principle of zoning law
that variances pertain to a piece of property and are not personal in nature. A variance may be
granted for a parcel of property with physical characteristics so unusual that complying with the
requirements of this chapter would create hardship to the applicant or the surrounding
property owners. The characteristics must be unique to the property and not be shared by
adjacent parcels. The unique characteristic must pertain to the land itself, not to the structure,
its inhabitants or the property owners.

Hardship means a situation that would result from a failure to grant the requested variance
under this article. The variance must be exceptional, unusual, and peculiar to the property
involved. Economic or financial reasons, inconvenience, aesthetic considerations, physical
handicaps, personal preferences, or the disapproval of one’s neighbors are not hardship. All of
these problems can be resolved through other means without granting a variance, even if the
alternative is more expensive, or requires the property owner to build elsewhere or put the
parcel to a different use than originally intended.

B. It is the duty of the City of Phoenix to help protect its citizens from flooding. This need is so
compelling and the implications of the cost of insuring a structure built below the regulatory
flood elevation are so serious that variances from the flood elevation or from other
requirements in the flood ordinance are quite rare. The long-term goal of preventing and
reducing flood loss and damage can only be met if variances are strictly limited. Therefore, the
variance guidelines provided in this chapter are more detailed and contain multiple provisions
that must be met before a variance can be properly granted. The criteria are designed to screen



The Phoenix City Code is current through Ordinance G-7402, passed July 2, 2025.




Chapter 32B, Floodplains Page 30 of 32


out those situations in which alternatives other than a variance are more appropriate. (Ord. No.
G-5707, 2012; Ord. No. G-7116, § 2, 2023)




Sec. 32B-28. Board of Review.

A. The Floodplain Board of the City of Phoenix shall hear and decide appeals and requests for
variances from the requirements of this chapter.

B. The Floodplain Board shall hear and decide appeals when it is alleged there is an error in
any requirement, decision, or determination made by the Floodplain Administrator in the
enforcement or administration of this chapter.

C. In considering such applications, the Floodplain Board shall consider all technical
evaluations, all relevant factors, standards specified in other sections of this chapter, and:

1. The danger that materials may be swept onto other lands to the injury of others;

2. The danger to life and property due to flooding or erosion damage;

3. The susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage and the
effect of such damage on the individual owner;

4. The importance of the services provided by the proposed facility to the community;

5. The necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where applicable;

6. The availability of alternative locations for the proposed use, which are not subject to
flooding or erosion damage;

7. The compatibility of the proposed use with existing and anticipated development;

8. The relationship of the proposed use to the Comprehensive Plan and Floodplain
Management Program for that area;

9. The safety of access to the property in time of flood for ordinary and emergency
vehicles;

10. The expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise, and sediment transport of the
flood waters expected at the site; and


The Phoenix City Code is current through Ordinance G-7402, passed July 2, 2025.




Chapter 32B, Floodplains Page 31 of 32


11. The costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions,
including maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas,
electrical, water system and streets and bridges.

D. Upon consideration of the factors of this section and the purposes of this chapter, the
Floodplain Board may attach such conditions to the granting of variances as it deems necessary
to further the purposes of this chapter.

E. Any applicant to whom a variance is granted will be given written notice over the signature
of a community official that:

1. The issuance of a variance to construct a structure below the base flood level will result
in increased premium rates for flood insurance up to amounts as high as $25.00 for
$100.00 of insurance coverage; and

2. Such construction below the regulatory flood level increases risks to life and property.

F. The Floodplain Administrator will maintain a record of all variance actions, including
justification for their issuance. (Ord. No. G-5707, 2012; Ord. No. G-6611, 2019; Ord. No. G-7116, § 2, 2023)




Sec. 32B-29. Conditions for variances.

A. Variances shall only be issued:

1. Upon determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood
heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances,
cause fraud on or victimization of the public, or conflict with existing local laws or
ordinances;

2. For the repair, rehabilitation, or restoration of structures listed in the National Register
of Historic Places or the Arizona Register of Historic Places, upon a determination that the
proposed repair or rehabilitation will not preclude the structures’ continued designation as
a historic structure and the variance is the minimum necessary to preserve the historic
character and design of the structure;

3. Upon a determination that the variance is the minimum necessary, considering the
flood hazard, to afford relief;


The Phoenix City Code is current through Ordinance G-7402, passed July 2, 2025.




Chapter 32B, Floodplains Page 32 of 32


4. Upon a showing of good and sufficient cause;

5. Upon a determination that failure to grant the variance would result in hardship to the
applicant;

6. Upon a showing that the use cannot perform its intended purpose unless it is located or
carried out in close proximity to water. This includes only facilities defined in this chapter
under "functionally dependent use."

B. Variances shall not be issued within any floodway if any increase in the base flood elevation
would result.

C. Variances may be issued for new construction and substantial improvements to be erected
on a lot of one-half acre or less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing
structures constructed below the regulatory flood elevation, provided the procedures of this
chapter have been fully considered. As the lot size increases beyond one-half acre, the technical
justification required for issuing the variance increases. (Ord. No. G-5707, 2012; Ord. No. G-6611,
2019; Ord. No. G-7116, § 2, 2023)

Summary
The City’s current Floodplain Management Plan (FMP) was prepared in 2015 and
adopted by the Council by resolution in 2016. The responsibility for floodplain
management lies with many, including private property owners, business, industry, and
the local, state, and federal government. Recognizing no one solution exists for
reducing all flood hazards, planning provides a mechanism to identify the best
alternatives within the capabilities of a jurisdiction. The City recognizes the strategic
value of being proactive for residents at risk of flooding and prepared this update to the
FMP, previously issued in May 2016. This FMP update (Attachment A) assess the
flood hazards within the jurisdictional boundaries of the City, while maintaining an
objective outlook toward the coordination with partner cities and agencies for
collaborated efforts in reducing flood risk. The FMP update summarizes the previous
completed plan elements, provides a review of progress achieved to date, and sets a
roadmap for future actions to reduce flood risk. The FMP provides an overall strategy
of programs, projects and mitigation measures aimed at reducing the adverse impacts
of flood hazards on a community. The FMP also identifies flood risks, their impact to
the community, and provides a prioritized action plan for reducing flood risks.

The City’s Floodplain Management Team in the Office of the City Engineer has been
following the plan to meet the current Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) guidelines, to reflect the City’s
historic and current floodplain management efforts and strengthen the support and
opportunity for residents to experience cost savings on flood insurance premiums. The
current plan assists the City in prioritizing flood management activities, identifying
improvement projects to reduce flooding risks, educating the public, increasing local
awareness of flooding risks, and creates successful partnerships with local, county,
and government agencies. This plan also provides a great benefit for the City’s
participation in the Community Rating System (CRS), which currently ranks the City at
Class 5, thereby providing property owners a 25 percent premium discount on their
floodplain insurance policies.




The City’s 2025 Floodplain Management Plan was developed following the 10-step
process identified by the CRS Coordinators Manual:
· Organize
· Involve the Public
· Coordinate
· Assess the Hazard
· Assess the Problem
· Set Goals
· Review Possible Activities
· Draft an Action Plan
· Adopt the Plan
· Implement, Evaluate, Revise

Financial Impact
There is no financial impact to the City.

Concurrence/Previous Council Action
· On June 14, 2016, the Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee
recommended City Council adoption of the 2016 edition of the City of Phoenix
Floodplain Management Plan with a 3-0 vote.
· On June 22, 2016, the City Council adopted the Resolution for the plan.
· On October 16, 2025, Transportation, Infrastructure and Planning Committee
recommended City Council adoption of the 2025 edition of the City of Phoenix
Floodplain Management Plan with a 3-0 vote.

by and between the STATE OF ARIZONA, through the Arizona State Land Commissioner and
State Land Department (“ASLD”), and the CITY OF PHOENIX, ARIZONA, a municipal corporation
(“City”), collectively referred to as the “Parties.”

RECITALS

A. The Parties entered into that Mayo Flyover Study Area Intergovernmental Agreement
dated December 7, 2022 (“Mayo Flyover IGA”).

B. The Parties now desire to amend the Mayo Flyover IGA to reallocate certain Regional
Funding obligations of ASLD Purchasers to different State Trust Land parcels and to modify

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. Recitals, Definitions. Both Parties acknowledge that the recitals set forth above, which are
incorporated herein by reference, are true and correct. Except as otherwise defined
herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the
Mayo Flyover IGA.


2. Authority for Agreement. Both Parties acknowledge that this agreement is an
Intergovernmental Agreement within the meaning of Arizona Revised Statutes (“A.R.S.”)
§ 11-951, et seq. ASLD enters into this agreement pursuant to A.R.S. §§ 37-102(B) (charge

ASLD 09.24.25




3. Section 5 of the Mayo Flyover IGA, Auction Notice, is revised as follows: For the
improvements required in Sections 8 through 12 of this Agreement, ASLD agrees to
identify the applicable Regional Improvements and/or Regional Funding requirements in
upcoming auction notices along with a notice that, “Regional Funding assigned with this
land sale may be excluded from the City of Phoenix Impact Fee program and is ineligible
for impact fee credit.” In the event the applicable City of Phoenix Infrastructure
Improvements Plan (IIP) is amended to include qualifying improvements, the Parties may
agree to consider such assignment for applicable credit through future negotiations.

4. Section 6 of the Mayo Flyover IGA, Timing of Sales, is replaced as follows: The
improvements required in Sections 8 through 12 of the Mayo Flyover IGA, other than
Regional Funding and Parcel SB6, are conditioned on ASLD’s successful auction, resulting
in the issuance of a Certificate of Purchase or patent, of the lands within three (3) years
of the effective date of this First Amendment. If ASLD fails to issue a Certificate of
Purchase or patent for a parcel assigned for improvements listed in Sections 8 through 12
of the Mayo Flyover IGA within three (3) years of the Effective Date of this First
Amendment, ASLD will assign all unassigned improvements to the next purchaser of a
parcel within the Study Area. ASLD will include in any auction notices for the ASLD Land
that the improvements listed are considered regional mitigation and are not tied directly
to impacts specific to their assigned parcels. The cost of Regional Improvements and
Regional Funding assigned to any auction parcel shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of
the appraised value for the auction parcel unless a greater amount is approved by the
State Land Commissioner.

5. Section 8 of the Mayo Flyover IGA, Purchaser of SB 12 parcel sale, is replaced as follows:
The Purchaser of SB 12C, ASLD Auction No. 53-123263, will be responsible for the
acquisition and construction of the following improvements at the intersection of Black
Mountain Boulevard and Deer Valley Drive:
a. Southbound to westbound right turn lane
b. Westbound to northbound right turn lane

Funding contribution of five (5) million dollars, which is the remaining portion of the




ASLD 09.24.25




Regional Funding contribution previously required to be paid by the purchaser of PR MF3
pursuant to Section 12 of the Mayo Flyover IGA.


6. Section 9 of the Mayo Flyover IGA, Purchaser of SB 4L parcel sale, is replaced as follows:

construction of Deer Valley Drive from 40th Street to Tatum Boulevard as depicted in
Exhibit A. In the event Deer Valley Drive from 40th Street to Tatum Boulevard has been
constructed or is under obligation to be constructed from an adjacent parcel, the
purchaser of SB 4L will be obligated to provide regional funding in the amount of three (3)
million dollars, which amount shall be applied to reduce the Regional Funding contribution
required to be paid by the purchaser of SB 6 pursuant to Section 11 of the Mayo Flyover
IGA..


7. Section 12 of the Mayo Flyover IGA, Purchaser of Paradise Ridge Parcel MF3 sale, is
replaced as follows: The Purchaser of Paradise Ridge Parcel MF3, ASLD Auction No. 53-

their property;

and
c. Regional funding contribution in the amount of five (5) million dollars.

8. Section 12.1 is to be added as follows: The Purchaser of Superblock 8 will be responsible
for a Regional Funding contribution in the amount of ten (10) million dollars, which amount
shall be applied to reduce the Regional Funding contribution required to be paid by the
purchaser of SB 6 pursuant to Section 11 of the Mayo Flyover IGA. If not previously
constructed by the purchaser of SB 4L, the purchaser of SB 8 will be responsible for
completion of the south half street construction of Deer Valley Drive from 40th Street to
Tatum Boulevard as depicted in Exhibit A. In the event Deer Valley Drive from 40th Street
to Tatum Boulevard has previously been constructed, the purchaser of SB 8 will be
obligated to provide additional Regional Funding in the amount of three (3) million dollars,
which amount shall also be applied to reduce the Regional Funding contribution required
to be paid by the purchaser of SB 6 pursuant to Section 11 of the Mayo Flyover IGA.




ASLD 09.24.25




9. The first sentence of Section 17 of the Mayo Flyover IGA is replaced as follows: Regional
Funding assigned will be collected by ASLD from the successful bidder on the day of auction
and remitted to the City within thirty (30) days of auction.

10. Amendment. Except as otherwise amended hereby, all of the terms and provisions of the
Mayo Flyover IGA shall remain in full force and effect. In the event of a conflict between
the terms and provisions of this First Amendment and the terms and provisions of the
Mayo Flyover IGA, the terms and provisions of this First Amendment will govern and
prevail.

11. Multiple Counterparts. This First Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts,
each of which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

Background/Issues/Analysis

SUBJECT SITE
1. This request is to rezone 6.00 acres located approximately 210 feet east of the
northeast corner of 43rd Avenue and Bell Road from PSC (Approved PSCOD)
(Planned Shopping Center District, Approved Planned Shopping Center Overlay
District) to PUD (Planned Unit Development) to allow retail and commercial uses.
The proposed PUD includes appropriate development standards as well as a
prohibition on certain uses that will allow the site to develop in a manner that is
respectful of the existing single-family neighborhoods located in the immediate
vicinity. The subject site is currently developed as a shopping center.

SURROUNDING LAND USES AND ZONING
2. The area to the north and east of the existing shopping center consists of a
single-family residential neighborhood zoned R1-8 (Single-Family Residence
District). To the south of the larger shopping center, across Bell Road, is an
existing shopping center, also zoned PSC (Planned Shopping Center District). To
the west of the larger shopping center, across 43rd Avenue, is another shopping
center zoned PSC. The area of the subject PUD is irregular in shape and does
not encompass the entirety of the existing shopping center; therefore, the subject
PUD abuts portions of the original shopping center that retains the original PSC
and PSC (Approved PSCOD) to the west, and PSCOD zoning to the east.

GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION
3. The General Plan Land Use Map designates the subject site as Commercial, as
is the area to the south and west of the subject site, as well as the portion of the
shopping center to the east. The area to the north and east of the site is
designated as Residential 3.5 to 5 dwelling units per acre. The PUD proposes
commercial uses which are consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map
designation.

PROPOSAL
4. The proposal was developed utilizing the Planned Unit Development (PUD)
zoning district. The PUD is intended to create a built environment that is superior
to that produced by conventional zoning districts and design guidelines. Using a
collaborative and comprehensive approach, an applicant authors and proposes
standards and guidelines that are tailored to the context of a site on a case-by-
case basis. Where the PUD Development Narrative is silent on a requirement, the
applicable Zoning Ordinance provisions will be applied.

5. The PUD was designed to allow for a neighborhood commercial center with
development standards that are specific to this site. Below is a summary of the
proposed development plan and permitted uses for the subject site as described
in the attached PUD Development Narrative date stamped September 29, 2025.

Conceptual Development Plan and Permitted Uses
The PUD proposes a regulatory framework structured around the recognition of
the existing users coupled with the prospects for future redevelopment. In
general, the primary uses that would be allowed under the PUD are consistent
with C-2 uses as outlined in the Zoning Ordinance; however, the PUD also

Staff Report: Z-47-25-1
October 15, 2025

includes a robust list of prohibited uses as outlined in Section C of the PUD
Narrative. The list of prohibited uses includes but is not limited to adult
businesses, marijuana dispensaries, residential uses, and data centers.

Development Standards
The PUD development narrative proposes development standards intended to
respond to the existing conditions associated with the manner in which the site is
currently developed. A summary of the development standards is provided below.

Table D1: Development Standards
a. Density 0 (Residential Not Permitted)
b. Minimum Lot Width / Depth No standard
c. Building Setbacks1 Minimum
North Perimeter 75 feet
South (Bell Road) 50 feet
0 feet, unless adjacent to a Residential
East (Perimeter)
Zoning District then 75 feet
Interior (Adjacent to parcels in
0 feet2
overall center)
d. Building Separation (Minimum) 0 feet
e. Building Height (Maximum) 25 feet for any structure 75 feet from a
residential district. Such height may be
increased by 1 foot for each additional
3 feet from the residence district
beyond 75 feet to a maximum of 56
feet. No structure shall contain more
than 2 stories at a building height of 25
feet or less and not more than 4
stories.
f. Lot Coverage (Maximum) 25%

Exterior covered walkways which are
not part of interior or enclosed malls,
ramadas, and eave overhangs used for
protection from the elements, but not
used for commercial activity or parking
shall not be included in computing the
25% coverage.
1 Setbacks measured from property lines, see Exhibit 3.
2 Where applicable, minimum 70 feet measured from the 43rd Avenue right
of way (to maintain consistency with existing surrounding development).
Note the Property does not have frontage on 43rd Avenue.

Generally, the development standards associated with this PUD are similar to
typical Zoning Ordinance standards, with the exception of a 50-foot building
setback adjacent to Bell Road, which exceeds the Zoning Ordinance standard.
Staff notes that item “e” in Table D1 includes the phrase “No structure shall

Staff Report: Z-47-25-1
October 15, 2025

contain more than 2 stories at a building height of 25 feet or less and not more
than 4 stories”. Upon further consideration, staff recommends this language be
deleted from the narrative, which the applicant concurs. This is addressed in
Stipulation No. 1.b.

Landscape Standards
Section D2 of the PUD discusses landscape standards applicable to the site.
Sub-section D2.a establishes a 10-foot landscape setback for all perimeters
except where adjacent to commercially zoned property, in which case the
landscape setback is zero feet. Sub-section D2.b includes language regarding
how new and future landscaping should occur; however, due to an oversight, this
language conflicts with language contained in Section D3. Staff, therefore,
recommends a stipulation that addresses this issue. This is included in Stipulation
No. 1.c.

Parking Standards
The PUD refers to Section 702 of the Zoning Ordinance and includes a provision
that addresses cross-parking. The PUD also provides standards relating to both
surface and structured parking, as well as a provision for bicycle parking and
truck loading spaces.

D4: Parking Standards
a. Vehicle Parking All parking to conform to Section 702. Required
parking spaces are permitted to be located off site
within the adjacent overall commercial development in
conformance with any cross parking and access
agreements.
b. Parking Location, Surface or structured parking lots are permitted. See
Automotive Section E1.g for vehicle screening requirements.
Ordinance Section 702.B.2.b.(5) does not apply.

For parking garages, the combined depth of the
parking space and the aisle width shall equal 60 feet
for a double loaded aisle and 42 feet for a single
loaded aisle.
c. Parking Location, To be installed in conformance with Section 1307.H,
Bicycle except as follows: (i) Inverted-U style bicycle racks or
artistic style racks consistent with the City of Phoenix
preferred designs (see Comprehensive Bicycle Master
Plan, Appendix K) shall be provided.
d. Loading Bay Service/Goods Loading Spaces shall conform to
Section 702. Loading spaces more than 100 feet from
the public street are not required to be screened from
public street view. Such spaces shall be a 10 feet x 20
feet minimum in size, exclusive of access aisles and
maneuvering space.


Staff Report: Z-47-25-1
October 15, 2025

Item “b” in Table D4 includes the phrase “See Section E1.g for vehicle screening
requirements”, which is ambiguous. Also, Item “b” in Table D4 includes the
phrase “Ordinance Section 702.B.2.b.(5) does not apply”. The intent of that
language was to allow for the reduction in the combined parking space depth and
aisle width related to surface parking lots in the same manner as proposed for
parking garage parking. For clarity, staff recommends, and the applicant concurs,
that the language of D4.b be modified as follows:

“Surface or structured parking lots are permitted. See Section E1.g for vehicle
screening requirements. Ordinance Section 702.B.2.b.(5) does not apply.

For surface parking and parking garages, the combined depth of the parking
space and the aisle width shall equal 60 feet for a double loaded aisle and 42 feet
for a single loaded aisle.”

This is addressed in Stipulation No. 1.d.

Fences/Walls
Section D5 of the PUD Narrative states that fences and walls will comply with
Section 703 of the Zoning Ordinance.

Shade
Section D6 of the PUD Narrative includes certain shading requirements, which
are outlined below:

• 75 percent coverage for new public and private pedestrian pathways
• 75 percent coverage for bicycle parking
• 25 percent coverage for new parking areas

Site Lighting
Section D7 references Sections 704 and 507 Tab A.II.A.8 of the Zoning
Ordinance and Section 23-100 of the City Code.

Design Guidelines
Section E1 references Section 507 Tab A of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance for
any new development that occurs on site.

Section E2 references Sections 623.E.5 and 703 of the Zoning Ordinance
regarding any new street and perimeter landscaping. Section E2 also includes a
provision that allows existing operations to follow the previously approved
landscape plan until such time as the site is redeveloped.

Signage
This section of the PUD Narrative states that all signage will comply with Section
705 of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance.



Staff Report: Z-47-25-1
October 15, 2025

Sustainability
The PUD Narrative requires several sustainability principles within the
development, including dual glaze windows with high performance low-e glazing
and water efficiency standards. Staff recommends, however, that additional
language be added to this section regarding Green Stormwater Infrastructure as
further discussed in Background Item No. 10 below.

AREA PLANS, OVERLAY DISTRICT, AND INITIATIVES
6. Complete Streets Guiding Principles
In 2014, the City of Phoenix City Council adopted the Complete Streets Guiding
Principles. The principles are intended to promote improvements that provide an
accessible, safe, connected transportation system to include all modes, such as
bicycles, pedestrians, transit, and vehicles. The PUD Narrative encourages the
use of bicycles by providing for bicycle parking and requires a detached sidewalk
along Bell Road when the site redevelops.

7. 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. The PUD Narrative includes provisions for bicycle parking.

8. Shade Phoenix Plan
In November 2024, the Phoenix City Council adopted the Shade Phoenix Plan.
The Shade Phoenix Plan prioritizes increasing shade coverage throughout the
City to improve health and quality of life. Investing in shade can address the
urban heat island effect, clean the air, preserve Sonoran vegetation, and prevent
health complications related to prolonged exposure to heat. The Shade Phoenix
Plan provides numerous strategies to increase shade including expanding and
maintaining existing shade, strengthening tree code enforcement, and developing
shade stipulations in rezoning cases. The PUD Narrative requires 75 percent
shade on all new sidewalks and internal pathways, and larger tree sizes within
the landscape areas between the back of curb and sidewalk.

9. Conservation Measures for New Development
In June 2023, the Phoenix City Council adopted the Conservation Measures for
New Development policy as part of a resolution addressing the future water
consumption of new development (Resolution 22129). This resolution addresses
the future water consumption of new development to support one of the City’s
Five Core Values in the General Plan which calls for Phoenix to - Build the
Sustainable Desert City. The Conservation Measures for New Development
policy includes direction to develop standards for consideration as stipulations for
all rezoning cases that will address best practices related to water usage in nine
specific categories. The PUD Narrative has numerous conservation measures
such as smart irrigation controllers, limitations on the use of natural turf, and
Green Stormwater Infrastructure features to reduce water waste.

Staff Report: Z-47-25-1
October 15, 2025

10. 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 Green
Infrastructure (GI) and Low Impact Development Details for Alternative
Stormwater Management to benefit the environment, promote water
conservation, reduce urban heat, improve the public health, and create additional
green spaces. This goal is addressed in the Infrastructure portion of the PUD
Narrative; however, staff recommends a stipulation to require that this provision
be added to the Sustainability Section of the Narrative. This is addressed in
Stipulation No. 1.e.

11. 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 stated in their submittal documents that the
project will incorporate recycling as part of its waste management program;
however, this provision should be included in the Sustainability Section of the
PUD Narrative. Stipulation No. 1.e also addresses this issue.

COMMUNITY INPUT SUMMARY
12. As of the writing of this report, staff has received no items in support or opposition
to the request.

INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS
13. The Street Transportation Department requested that the PUD Narrative include
the following provisions, which are included in Section D3 of the PUD:

• Six-foot wide detached sidewalk;

• Ten-foot-wide landscape strip between back of curb and the sidewalk;

• Landscape strip planting standards to include 75 percent tree shade
coverage;

• A provision that allows the sidewalk to be attached when adjacent to a
right-turn deceleration lane or a bus bay.

In addition, the Street Transportation Department requested the following be
implemented as it relates to Bell Road, when site improvements, new
Staff Report: Z-47-25-1
October 15, 2025

development, or building alterations exceed 2,000 square feet as compared to the
site plan dated June 25, 2025 (Exhibit 2 of the PUD Narrative). These criteria are
included in recommended Stipulation No. 2.

• 70-foot half-width right-of-way for the north side of Bell Road;

• Detached sidewalks per the Streetscape Standards Section of the PUD;

• Incidental right-of-way improvements to bring adjacent rights-of-way up to
city standards.

The Street Transportation Department also requested that the developer
replace and construct all improvements in the right-of-way with all required
elements and to ADA standards. These are included in Stipulations No. 3 and 4.

14. The site has not been identified as being archaeologically sensitive. However, in
the event archaeological materials are encountered during construction, all
ground disturbing activities must cease within 33-feet of the discovery, and the
to properly assess the materials. This is addressed in Stipulation No. 5.

15. Staff has not received a completed form for the Waiver of Claims for Diminution in
Value of Property under Proposition 207 (A.R.S. 12-1131 et. seq.), as required by
the rezoning application process. Therefore, a stipulation has been added to
require the form be completed and submitted prior to final site plan approval. This
is addressed in Stipulation No. 6.

16. Development and use of the site is subject to all applicable codes and
ordinances. Zoning approval does not negate other ordinance requirements such
as obtaining a use permit if applicable. Other formal actions such as, but not
limited to, zoning adjustments and abandonments, may be required.

Findings

1. The proposal is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map designation.

2. The proposal incorporates enhanced standards that will result in a more walkable,
shaded, and pedestrian-friendly environment.

3. The proposal incorporates development standards that are sensitive to the
surrounding area such as a height maximum and enhanced building setbacks.

Village Planning Committee Meeting Summary
Z-47-25-1
INFORMATION ONLY

Date of VPC Meeting August 19, 2025
Request From PSC (Approved PSCOD)

Request To PUD
Proposal Retail and commercial uses
Location Approximately 210 feet east of northeast corner of
43rd Avenue and Bell Road

VPC DISCUSSION:

No members of the public registered to speak on this item.

Nick Wood, representing the applicant with Snell & Wilmer introduced himself. Mr.
Wood oriented the committee to the site stating that it was located on the northeast
corner of 43rd Avenue and Bell Road. Mr. Wood stated that the site consisted of
approximately six acres and is part of a consolidated shopping center. Mr. Wood stated
his client often receives calls from apartment developers and that six acres is about the
right size for a 300-unit apartment complex; however, the owner wishes to keep the
center as commercial while revitalizing the center. Mr. Wood stated that they discussed
the option of C-2, which allows a large number of uses. Mr. Wood highlighted the
neighboring properties and stated that during their initial neighborhood meeting, twenty-
five to thirty people attended and expressed concerns over the potential for apartments
and the loss of the shopping center. Mr. Wood stated that the proposed PUD includes a
list of prohibited uses and described the uses that are currently on the property. Mr.
Wood outlined the General Plan Land Use designation and that the current PSC zoning
was approved in 2004 and is an archaic zoning designation. Mr. Wood presented the
site data as well as a comparison between the existing and proposed zoning standards
stating that the existing setbacks adjacent to the existing residential are being
maintained while the setback along Bell Road is increasing. Mr. Wood stated that C-2
would have given them more flexibility with more permissive development standards
and would have allowed 14.25 dwelling units per acre. Mr. Wood stated that multifamily
is a prohibited use under the PUD and highlighted the prohibited uses.

QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE

Committee Member James Sutphen asked if they would be installing electric vehicle
infrastructure per the Phoenix code. Mr. Wood stated that the code does not require

installation of electric vehicle infrastructure and that a number of his clients do so
anyway but has not been discussed. Chair Gregory Freeman stated that the proposed
zone change was to allow for the clean-up of the site as opposed to its redevelopment.
Mr. Wood stated that was the case.

Committee Member Ricardo Romero asked what led up to the proposed PUD zoning.
Mr. Wood stated the outdated PSC zoning includes certain restrictions and that the
owner is looking at what can happen in the future and wants the flexibility that is built
into the PUD. Committee Member Romero asked about the ownership of the two
adjacent buildings. Mr. Wood stated that the only properties that are part of the rezone
effort are within the boundary and that the adjacent buildings are not affected. Vice
Chair Braden Lopez-Biggs asked if the larger complex was under one owner or
several. Mr. Wood stated they were separate owners. Committee Member Gerrald
Adams asked if there was a shared parking agreement and if that would be maintained.
Mr. Wood stated there was an agreement and that it would be maintained.

Committee Member Ozzie Virgil asked about a property line configuration. Mr. Wood
stated that it was adjacent to a patio area.

Chair Freeman asked when they anticipate coming back to the committee. Mr. Wood
stated they anticipated being back in one to two months. Chair Freeman referred to the
neighborhood outreach already completed and asked if they had been in conversations
with the various tenants regarding this rezone. Mr. Wood stated that was left up to the
owner as they have the various relationships.

Meeting Summary
Z-47-25-1
QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE

Vice Chair Braden Lopez-Biggs asked for clarification on the location of the future
restaurant and how that might affect parking. Mr. Wood reiterated that it would be
located in the westernmost portion of the site and that the overall site was currently
overparked allowing for the additional parking demand. Chair Gregory Freeman asked
if the proposed restaurant would be a coffee kiosk. Mr. Wood stated that might be the
case. Vice Chair Lopez-Biggs asked if it could potentially be a Dutch Bros. Mr. Wood
stated that it was a possibility; however, Dutch Bros. have their own traffic issues that
would need to be addressed in order to not negatively affect the other tenants in the
center. Committee Member Ricardo Romero asked if the restaurant would be a quick
service restaurant. Mr. Wood stated that would be the case. Committee Member
Romero asked about the timing of any redevelopment efforts. Mr. Wood stated there
were no immediate plans for redevelopment. Chair Freeman stated that his recollection
was there would be no more than 25% lot coverage. Mr. Wood stated that was correct.
Vice Chair Lopez-Biggs asked about the 2,000 square foot provision as it pertains to
Stipulations No. 2, 3 and 4. Mr. Kuhfuss stated that if there was 2,000 square feet or
more of cumulative alterations on the site, additional right-of-way and improvements
would be required. Mr. Wood confirmed that was the case. Chair Freeman stated that
the 2,000 square foot threshold would not include interior tenant improvements.

PUBLIC COMMENT

Lee Piester stated that he has been a resident for 87 years and that he and his wife
owned and operated the Hobby Bench that is located within the site for 35 years. Mr.
Piester stated that as a tenant he knew nothing about the proposed rezone until he saw
the sign posted on the site. Mr. Piester stated that he was initially concerned over the
potential for residential on the site but gained a comfort level upon learning that
residential would be prohibited by the PUD. Mr. Piester stated that he wanted further
explanation on the potential or redevelopment of the site.

APPLICANT RESPONSE

Mr. Wood reiterated that there would be no residential on the site. Committee Member
Romero asked about the timing of redevelopment of the site. Mr. Wood stated there
were no immediate plans for redevelopment of the site.
