Funding for The Moreland Affordable Housing Development Project (Ordinance
S-52286) - District 8

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to add $2 million in federal
HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program and other affordable housing gap
funds for The Moreland, Phase I affordable housing development, and to take all
necessary actions and execute all documents. Further request authorization for the
City Treasurer to accept and the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this
item for the life of the grant(s). There is no impact on the General Fund.

Summary
To address a critical need for affordable housing in downtown Phoenix, the Housing
Department issued a Request for Proposals seeking a co-developer partner to
redevelop the former Deck Park Vista Apartments site into The Moreland, a new
affordable multifamily rental housing project. Brinshore Development, LLC was
selected to serve as co-development partner for the project with the Housing
Department. The Moreland will consist of two phases with Phase I being a 132-unit
development that contains studio to three-bedroom units, a community room, a fitness
center, a computer room, teen/youth space, and a parking garage. Phase II will be a
105-unit development that consists of studio and one-bedroom units, a community
room, a fitness center, and other amenities.

The property is located on two acres at 1125 N. 3rd Street, and falls within the
Downtown Core, currently zoned under the Downtown Core-Evans Churchill East
Character Area. Former Deck Park Vista residents have been relocated, and the
buildings have been demolished. The site is now vacant. For Phase I, the Housing
Department has committed 131 total project-based vouchers for returning and Choice
Neighborhoods residents. Resident services will be provided. Construction is
anticipated to begin in January 2026 and the project will be completed by the end of
2027. Cost increases and various market fluctuations have resulted in the need for
additional gap funding for the project in the amount of $2 million.

Financial Impact
There is no impact on the General Fund. Funding is available from the federal HOME
Program and other affordable housing gap funds budgeted in the Housing



Department’s Capital Improvement Plan budget.

Report

Proposed Shopping Cart Ordinance (Ordinance G-7419) - Citywide

Request City Council approval of the proposed amendment to the City Code, adding
Sections 39-56 through 39-70, Article X related to Shopping Carts.

Summary
In October 2024, Neighborhood Services Department staff presented to the Economic
Development and Housing Subcommittee an update on the Abandoned Shopping Cart
Retrieval Program (Retrieval Program) and information on what other cities are doing
to reduce the abandoned shopping carts. Additionally, staff presented the framework of
a possible new ordinance requiring restrictive devices to prevent the removal of
shopping carts from retail premises. Subcommittee members provided feedback and
requested staff meet with the retailer associations to get more data about the efficacy,
or lack thereof, of locking wheel mechanisms.

Between October and March, staff held multiple meetings with representatives from
the Arizona Retailers Association, Arizona Food Marketing Alliance, and Arizona
Lobbying to discuss the issue and strategies to better address the problem. Staff
requested data on the efficacy of locking wheel mechanisms; however, the level of
data was not available for local stores. The retailer representatives did share a partial
list of stores using these systems; however, they were not able to provide details about
whether the systems are properly maintained.

The representatives appreciated being included in the conversation and shared some
of the challenges of implementing a broad requirement for locking wheel systems over
other solutions. They noted that the systems are costly to implement and maintain, and
in many cases have not been able to reduce the number of carts that end up beyond
retail property boundaries. They also discussed the additional challenges retailers that
rent space may face in convincing their landlords of the necessity for infrastructure
improvements required.

In March 2025, staff provided an update to the Economic Development and Housing
Subcommittee, including additional program metrics. An analysis revealed that most
retailers are either small enough, or have sufficient systems in place, to require only a
minor number of carts to be collected through the program. Based on this information,



staff proposed a new ordinance to better address the blight, nuisance, and public
health and safety hazards associated with off-site shopping carts.

Proposed Ordinance
The proposed ordinance (Attachment A) codifies the current Retrieval Program and
fees, establishes an annual shopping cart certification requirement for all retailers
providing shopping carts for their customers, and requires large retailers to maintain
locking wheel mechanisms on their carts or to submit a Shopping Cart Management
Plan (SCMP). The SCMP will outline how they will prevent removal of carts from the
premises and ensure prompt cart retrieval for the carts that are removed from the site.
At a minimum, a shopping cart retrieval contract will be required under the SCMP, with
weekly retrieval services as part of the cart retrieval plan plus one additional
prevention measure.

Should the City continue to collect a substantial quantity of shopping carts under the
Retrieval Program after the proposed City Code amendments are implemented, an
SCMP will be required, if none exists, or enhancements to their existing SCMP will be
required to address the amount of shopping carts that are leaving the premises. If the
plan revisions fail to reduce City retrievals, a mandatory plan may be imposed with
specific requirements to reduce the ongoing burden on the public resources to
continue retrieving a substantial number of carts. Failure to meet certification, SCMP,
or SCMP enhancement requirements, will result in revocation of the retail store's
certification.

Failure to timely deliver or maintain a certification will be a violation of the City Code
with the following civil penalties:
- Civil sanction of not less than $500 for a first violation.
- Civil sanction of not less than $750 for a second violation within 36 months.
- Civil sanction of not less than $1,000 for a third violation within 36 months.

Concurrence/Previous Council Action
On March 26, 2025, the Economic Development and Housing Subcommittee
unanimously recommended City Council approval for a new ordinance to reduce the
number of shopping carts outside retail premises by a vote of 4-0.

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into an agreement
with UMOM New Day Centers, Inc. (UMOM) to replace the chiller system at Halle
Women's Center. The total value of the contract will not exceed $150,000. Further
request to authorize the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item.

infrastructure needs and improvements including critical projects for non-profit
organizations operating facilities that provide a public benefit.

UMOM’s Halle Women’s Center serves single women without children who are in need
of emergency shelter, including victims of domestic violence. The existing chiller
system, which serves multiple buildings, including three that house shelter units, is
nearing the end of its operational life. The aging infrastructure and failing plumbing
system pose a significant risk of system-wide failure. To ensure reliable climate control
and prevent disruption to shelter operations, UMOM proposes replacing the chiller
system with individual air conditioning units for each room and office.

UMOM applied for funds to replace the chiller system through the Neighborhood
Enhancement Program. The project will ensure continued use of the center and
eliminate major cooling outages in the future. Funding from the City would cover the
replacement expenses associated with this project.

District 8

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to perform all acts necessary
to sell City-owned property identified by the Aviation Department as excess Aviation
Land Reuse Strategy land inventory at a price negotiated on the open market based on
the City's appraisal to Valutek, Inc. and De Rito Partners Development, Inc.
Additionally, request to authorize the City Treasurer to accept all funds related to this
item.

Summary
The Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) Land Reuse Strategy (LRS),
developed in 2017, addresses the reuse and redevelopment of 793 fragmented City-
owned parcels acquired for noise mitigation. In December 2022, the Aviation
Department received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) authorization for the
disposal or redevelopment of 427 of these parcels. In April 2025, the Community and
Economic Development Department (CEDD) requested and received City Council
authorization to dispose of parcels in Areas F, G, H, I, and J, per the FAA's
determination (Ordinance S-51817). Working in coordination, Aviation and CEDD
prepared two groupings for public offering.

Grouping A
The entire Area G between 12th and 14th streets and north of Interstate 17. The
grouping consists of 16 separate and non-contiguous parcels, and their development
potential is impacted by their irregular shape and size, and remaining private property
owners within the block (Attachment A). The parcels are zoned R-3 and appraised at
$1,690,000 as of March 2025.

Grouping B
A portion of Area I located at 16th Street and Watkins Street. The grouping consists of
five separate and non-contiguous parcels, which impacts their development potential
(Attachment B). The parcels are zoned A-2 and appraised at $790,000 as of
November 2024.




Public Offering Process
The groupings were offered for sale from April 22 to May 21, 2025, (30 days) through
the City's website and an ad in the Arizona Republic. Each offer was required to
include:
· A narrative of intended site use and/or business operations.
· A preliminary conceptual site plan or improvement description.
· An offer meeting or exceeding the appraised value.

Results and Recommendation
The City received one offer for each grouping. Staff reviewed the offers and
recommends the following:

Grouping A
The recommended buyer, Valutek, Inc., proposes a two-phased development. Phase 1
will consist of a 45,000 square foot state of the art headquarters including: 5,000
square foot office, 5,000 square foot clean room manufacturing space, and 35,000
square foot warehouse. Phase 2 will require additional privately owned parcel
assemblage with a timeline to be determined based on the surrounding parcel owners.
The buyer has submitted an offer of $1,690,000 for all 16 parcels. The offer meets the
appraised value.

Grouping B
The recommended buyer, De Rito Partners Development, Inc., proposes to construct a
modern convenience store and gas station, designed to serve the area's high volume
of commuters, logistic teams, and small business owners. Additionally, two light
industrial buildings will be constructed providing vital infrastructure to support the
area's growing workforce and business ecosystem. The buyer has submitted an offer
of $790,000 for all five parcels. The offer meets the appraised value.

All disposals will require execution of an avigation easement and include a deed
restriction prohibiting residential use.

Financial Impact
The total revenue from this disposition will be $2,480,000 and will be returned to the
Aviation Department.

Fiscal Year 2025-26 Bioscience Healthcare Strategic Initiative (Ordinance S-
52280) - Citywide

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to implement the Fiscal Year
(FY) Bioscience Healthcare Strategic Initiative, including authorization of an Arizona
Bioindustry Association (AZBio) membership for FY 2026-27 and participation at the
BIO International Convention in 2026. Further request authorization for the City
Treasurer to accept funds from the City’s BIO International Convention partners to
offset costs associated with the 2026 convention expenses, and for the City Controller
to disburse funds associated with this request. Funding for the AZBio membership and
convention efforts will not exceed $130,000. There is no impact to the General Fund.
Funding is available in the Genomics Facilities and Operations Fund.

Summary
Phoenix has grown to be one of the nation’s fastest growing hubs for bioscience
activity and is now ranked in the Top 20 of U.S. Life Science Markets. CBRE’s annual
life science reports ranked Phoenix First in Life Science Job Growth and First in Life
Science Graduate Growth Rate among emerging U.S. Life Science Markets. Arizona is
now ranked as the second fastest in life science job growth and ranked eighth in the
nation for the economic impact of clinical trials. An estimated 80 percent of the state’s
clinical trials take place in Phoenix. Much of this success is attributed to Phoenix’s
world-class medical centers, institutes of research excellence, research universities,
quality community colleges, a growing educated population, a pro-business
environment, and the spirit of entrepreneurship and collaboration. To build upon these
strengths, staff is continuing to implement a strategic plan introduced in 2018 designed
to grow, strengthen, and sustain a healthy bioscience industry. Since the launch of this
effort, there has been an acceleration of investment and growth in the bioscience
industry in Phoenix. By mid-2025, more than $6.7 billion has been invested in new and
expanded bioscience and healthcare facilities, and more than eight million square feet
of primary facility space for discovery, development, and care delivery creating more
than 14,000 jobs for Phoenix residents.

Staff has focused its economic development efforts in the areas of research,
development, precision medicine, healthcare delivery, health-tech, and education.
Focusing on these areas strengthens and solidifies Phoenix as a leader in the nation’s



bioscience healthcare industry. The Community and Economic Development
Department (CEDD) will continue to ensure there is a world-class real estate inventory
to meet the unique needs of life science companies. This commitment includes
support of Phoenix’s four bioscience hubs: Mayo Clinic’s Discovery Oasis, the Phoenix
Medical Quarter/Midtown, the Phoenix Bioscience Core (PBC), and the Cotton Center,
in addition to other submarkets within the City. CEDD has been working closely with
Wexford Science & Technology, to bring prospective tenants to the 850 PBC building
and its recently opened Connect Labs by Wexford on the fifth floor. The National
Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIH) being the latest major
tenant to lease space in 850 PBC. NIH will move out of its temporary space on the fifth
floor and to its new 35,000 square-foot lab on the seventh floor in October of this year.

To continue to advance the City's position in the bioindustry, CEDD is requesting to
continue the City's annual membership with the AZBio, the only statewide organization
exclusively focused on building Arizona’s bioindustry. AZBio is committed to building a
top-tier life science industry in Arizona and is a critical partner for Phoenix. As
specialists, AZBio provides industry insight, programs specifically designed for life
science organizations, visibility into investment opportunities, and a voice for the
industry in the media, across the community, and with elected leaders and government
agencies at the local, state, and federal levels. The AZBio annual membership cost is
$15,000 for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

Another key effort is the promotion of Phoenix's bioscience efforts nationally and
internationally by attending and exhibiting at the 2026 BIO International trade show to
be held in San Diego. The 2025 BIO International was held in Boston, with close to
22,000 attendees and 73 countries represented. The City of Phoenix received
heightened visibility with its partnership with BIO and the BBC StoryWorks with the
debut of its film as part of The Next Frontier series. The film showcases the world’s
largest brain health study taking place in Phoenix through the MindCrowd initiative at
the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) part of City of Hope. The CEDD
Director participated on The Next Frontier panel alongside global leaders sharing the
story of the rapid and intentional rise in Phoenix’s bioscience industry’s growth.

As a sponsor of Start-Up Stadium, the City of Phoenix was able to kick off the event
this year and nominate three Phoenix-based companies that were selected as finalists.
These early-stage companies were able to engage with key members of the
investment community, venture philanthropy groups, and BIO attendees. This year’s
Phoenix delegation included 60 attendees, representing 33 Phoenix companies and
organizations. The delegation held more than 450 productive meetings along with
continuous engagement with BIO conference attendees in the Phoenix Pavilion. More
than 200 people attended the Phoenix Fast Pitch Reception featuring 15 Phoenix life


science leaders sharing their innovations with the audience. Attendance at the event
provided valuable networking and partnership opportunities and synergy with the City's
attending partners looking to promote their research and products to a global
audience. The knowledge and contacts generated by attending this trade show will be
used in communicating the City's competitive advantage, existing ecosystem and
resources in Phoenix to attract and grow companies in this industry to thrive and
generate quality jobs for the community.

Planning is currently underway, subject to City Council authorization of funding, for the
2026 BIO International trade show. Preliminary estimates for participation such as
sponsorships, pre and post targeted advertising, lead generation/retrieval, equipment,
pavilion set-up and shipping costs total approximately $115,000. Staff will continue to
work with industry partners to co-locate at the trade show. This shared effort may allow
the City to reduce its costs and boost visibility while assisting its partners in promoting
Phoenix.

These continued efforts enable CEDD staff to showcase Phoenix's citywide assets and
ensure success of future projects. CEDD and its partners continue to generate
qualified prospects to create a pipeline of businesses considering expansions and/or
relocations to Phoenix through a multi-faceted marketing approach targeted at this
industry. Phoenix's involvement and partnership with AZBio and the BIO International
trade show elevates the City's visibility as a hub for bioscience, building a critical mass
of life science and healthcare-related companies and attracting and developing top
talent vital to sustain the long-term growth of this thriving industry.

Financial Impact
There is no impact to the General Fund. Funding for the AZBio membership and to
participate in BIO International 2026 will not exceed $130,000 total for both efforts.
Funding is available in the Genomic Facilities and Operations Fund. Funding received
from the City's BIO International Convention partners shall reimburse the Genomic
Facilities and Operations Fund.

Subcommittee at the September 10, 2025 meeting by a vote of 3-0.

Foundation Venture Café Sponsorship (Ordinance S-52281) - Citywide

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to approve the amendment to
Ordinance S-51289 for the sponsorship of Maricopa Community Colleges
Foundation’s Venture Café Phoenix Events Programming on the Phoenix Bioscience
Core (PBC) in the amount of $200,000 annually for three years, for a total amount not
to exceed $600,000. Further request to authorize the City Controller to disburse all
funds related to this item. There is no impact to the General Fund. Funding is available
in the Genomics Facilities and Operations Fund.

Summary
Launched in 2022, Venture Café Phoenix is a collaborative initiative to bring people of
all backgrounds together with a shared vision of building and sustaining an inclusive
community that champions innovation in Arizona. To date, this has been accomplished
through weekly gatherings of meaningful events that connect, inspire, and encourage
participants to take positive action and support one another’s goals. Venture Café
Phoenix is a community-driven movement to unleash local and state-wide potential
and make Phoenix a leader in innovation.

Since its inception, Venture Café Phoenix's event programming has facilitated 157
weekly events that resulted in over 1,097 break-out sessions with over 20,400
attendees, over 960 speakers, and an average weekly attendance of 160. The highest
attended Thursday Gatherings have ranged from 225-340 attendees. One-on-one
mentorship and office hours with subject matter experts are now available for
attendees. Venture Café Phoenix's weekly events encourage connectivity and
collaboration and serve to enhance Phoenix’s ecosystem and infrastructure to support
the growth of existing Phoenix companies, both in early-stage development and
mature organizations, along with the formation of new companies leading to the
creation of new jobs for Phoenix residents. Venture Café Phoenix has been an
instrumental platform for showcasing Phoenix's domestic and international economic
development efforts in bioscience, sustainability, advanced manufacturing, and other
synergistic industries and was awarded 2023 Fastest Growing Venture Café “Making
Things Happen Award” by Venture Café Global.




Venture Café Phoenix was modeled after the successful Thursday Gatherings of
Venture Café programs taking place in Wexford Science+Technology innovation
communities that have served to grow and strengthen the innovation districts in those
respective communities. Venture Café Phoenix events are free, open to the public, and
serve to connect attendees to employers, innovators, academic
educators/researchers, business mentors, and the community. Presentations and
breakout sessions are purposely curated to support the community’s connectivity,
collaborations, talent and workforce development, business strengthening, and access
to resources. Venture Café strengthens Phoenix’s entrepreneurial ecosystem and
enhances the City's Bioscience Healthcare Strategic Initiative.

Venture Café Phoenix plans to host approximately 40 Thursday Gatherings annually
with an annual goal of more than 6,000 attendees who will all convene on the City’s
Phoenix Bioscience Core, elevating its visibility as a premier location for companies to
locate for bioscience research, collaboration, and access to talent. Venture Café
Phoenix is hosted at the 850 PBC building and includes benefits such as:
· Serving as a convening hub of innovators from the region.
· Elevating the PBC’s brand as a premier location for bioscience-related companies
and Phoenix’s robust bioscience ecosystem.
· Increasing partnerships between and among the City, academia, industry, the
startup ecosystem, arts and culture.
· Facilitating international connections via the Innovation Bridge programming with
visiting business delegations.
· Curating meaningful events that connect, inspire/encourage participants to take
positive action.
· Prioritizing participation and support of attendees with marginalized identities.
· Enhancing infrastructure for research, education, entrepreneurship, arts and
culture.
· Providing access to one-on-one mentoring with subject matter experts.
· Bringing entrepreneurs, researchers, investors, artists, designers, corporate
innovators, technologists, small businesses, community members, etc. together to:
1. Find commonalities;
2. Share knowledge from different perspectives;
3. Forge partnerships; and
4. Explore opportunities for collaborations.

The City's original Founders Circle sponsorship has proven to be very successful in
engaging with Phoenix’s innovation community. The increased level of sponsorship to
a Legacy Founders sponsorship will provide the City with heightened visibility and
engagement, increased program planning and direct messaging to attendees to further


the City's economic development position as setting the standard for advanced
technology innovators to thrive.

The Legacy Founders Sponsorship will include at a minimum:
· Two seats on the Leadership Council.
· Premier logo placement on Venture Café’s website and newsletters with recognition
as the sole Legacy Founders sponsor.
· Recognition at all events, including announcements at beginning and end of event
programs.
· Inclusion in marketing material, social media, and Venture Café Phoenix’s weekly
newsletter.
· Monthly City of Phoenix economic development short article in the weekly
newsletter.
· Two City of Phoenix pop up banners at each event.
· Program planning for six events with the option for more to include programming
around visiting international delegations and industry conferences.
· Dedicated Legacy Founders slide with City of Phoenix logo on monitor rotation for
programming during events.

The increased sponsorship level will allow staff to be more actively engaged in the
planning and attending of events to pursue opportunities for business recruitment,
retention and expansion, and introductions to workforce development services and
programs.

The organizational framework will include the Center for Entrepreneurial Innovation as
the host institution along with providing programming, financial management, and staff
support. Venture Café will provide the City with an annual report of metrics of
attendance, voluntarily collected demographics of attendees, qualitative and
quantitative information from surveys, and engagement metrics.

Financial Impact
The fee for a Legacy Founders sponsorship is $200,000 annually, with a three year
total amount not to exceed $600,000. There is no impact to the General Fund. Funding
is available in the Genomic Facilities and Operations Fund.

Painting Services - IFB 24-FMD-004 - Amendment (Ordinance S-52258) - Citywide

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute amendment to
Contracts 158349 with DMS Companies, Inc., 158350 with Bullseye Painting Company
LLC and 158351 with A & H Painting, Inc. to add the Phoenix Convention Center
Department (PCCD) as an authorized user of the painting services contracts. Further
request to authorize the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item. The
additional expenditures will not exceed $300,000.

Summary
These contracts will provide painting services to the interior and exterior of buildings
for the Phoenix Convention Center (PCC) venue. The PCCD requires interior and
exterior painting services to maintain the facility’s appearance, protect structural
surfaces, and ensure a safe and welcoming environment for visitors, event organizers,
and staff. Interior painting is necessary to refresh walls, hallways, meeting rooms, and
public spaces that experience wear over time due to constant use. Exterior painting is
equally critical to preserve building surfaces from sun exposure, weathering, and
environmental damage. Regular painting helps prevent costly repairs by protecting
surfaces from moisture, corrosion, and deterioration.

Contract Term
The contracts' terms remain unchanged, ending on June 30, 2026.

Financial Impact
Upon approval of $300,000 in additional funds, the revised aggregate value of the
contracts will not exceed $4,715,000. Funds are available in the PCC, Water Services,
Parks and Recreation, and Public Works departments' budgets.

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an amendment to
Corporate Hangar Lease 136822 with Civil Air Patrol (CAP) to extend the lease term
for 10 years and add one five-year extension option and incorporate approximately
10,400 square feet of additional premises at Phoenix Deer Valley Airport (DVT).

Summary
The Arizona Wing of CAP leases a corporate hangar at DVT of approximately 6,000
square feet that includes hangar, classroom, and office space. CAP is a civilian
auxiliary to the United States Air Force that provides aviation-related education and
flight training to local youth and adults to assist federal and local state authorities in the
event of local and national emergencies. CAP uses the hangar facility for its non-
commercial activities to support aerial search and rescue missions, humanitarian aid
services, and to operate a cadet program that introduces cadets to aviation. CAP has
been a tenant at DVT since 1989 and leases the hangar facility for one dollar per year,
consistent with FAA regulations.

Corporate Hangar Lease 136822 was amended in January 2021 to extend the term for
an additional five years, through December 31, 2025, with two one-year renewal
options. The amendment included a provision for an additional five-year extension if
CAP made a $1 million minimum capital investment to expand the hangar facility.

CAP recently received a $4.9 million grant from the State of Arizona for hangar
facilities improvements. Given the significance of the proposed capital investment,
CAP requested the Aviation Department exercise both remaining one-year renewal
options and extend the lease term for an additional 10 years, with one five-year
renewal option, to complete a remodel to expand the hangar facility by approximately
16,400 square feet. The expansion will accommodate an additional aircraft and
increase the size of the classroom and office space.

Contract Term
If approved, the lease term will be extended for 10 years, effective January 1, 2028,
with one five-year renewal option at the sole discretion of the Aviation Director,



contingent upon CAP investing a minimum of $4.9 million in hangar expansion and
improvements.

Report

Arizona Department of Environmental Quality Recycling Grant Opportunity for
Fiscal Year 2025-26 (Ordinance S-52276) - Citywide

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to retroactively apply for, and
if awarded, accept and enter into related agreements for disbursement of grant funding
from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) through its Recycling
Grant Program's Waste Reduction Assistance Grant (WRA). If awarded, grant funding
will be used to install a camera system at the 27th Avenue Materials Recovery Facility,
pilot an initiative that will help Green Business Leaders design and carry out
customized waste reduction projects, and pilot an education, outreach, and collection
program for lithium-ion batteries. Further request authorization from the City Treasurer
to accept, and the City Controller to disburse, all funds related to this item, including
sub-recipients associated with the projects. The total grant funds applied for will not
exceed $185,000.

Summary
The ADEQ Recycling Grant Program promotes recycling and source reduction through
public education and information on proper solid waste disposal and includes the WRA
category. The WRA supports community initiatives aimed at significantly reducing solid
waste output. Funding received is available through the Arizona Solid Waste Recycling
Act of 1990 and is derived from landfill disposal fees. More than one project application
per applicant may be submitted. Applications will be submitted under the WRA
category.

Project 1 - 27th Avenue Materials Recovery Facility Residue Belt Camera Application
The Public Works Department oversees the 27th Avenue Materials Recovery Facility
(MRF) which processes and sorts recyclables from the City’s recycling program.
Phoenix continually seeks to improve its sorting efficiency, with one key focus being
the identification of recyclable materials that are not being captured by the MRF
system. Currently, the residue belt carries non-recyclables out of the MRF to be
disposed of as trash at the landfill. If the system misses capturing a good recyclable,
that also ends up on the residue belt. To better understand and reduce this loss, the
Public Works Department is requesting grant funding to add a camera over the residue
belt to determine what recyclable materials are not being captured. The information will
provide data on the quantity and type of recyclables, which will provide insight and



justification for additional fine tuning or improvements to the MRF system. The total
grant funds applied for in this application is approximately $55,000.

Project 2 - Local First Arizona Green Business Boot Camp Application
The City of Phoenix Green Business Leader (GBL) program certifies and recognizes
businesses within City limits that implement sustainable practices to support Phoenix’s
2050 sustainability goals. Certified businesses gain access to benefits like water
efficiency audits, sustainability training, and promotional exposure through the City.
Currently, the GBL Program does not provide technical project assistance or project-
based incubation support to certified GBLs. To assess whether adding this assistance
can drive measurable waste diversion impacts, the Public Works Department is
requesting grant funding to launch a pilot program in collaboration with Local First
Arizona that will help 10 Phoenix businesses build customized waste reduction project
models. Recruitment for the boot camp will prioritize GBL-certified businesses to
enhance the existing GBL Program, however, non-certified businesses will also be
eligible to participate, creating an opportunity to expand the GBL Program. Participants
will leave with actionable waste reduction projects and access to City of Phoenix or
Local First Arizona resources to support implementation following the grant period. The
total grant funds requested for this application is approximately $40,000.

Project 3 - Lithium-Ion Battery Collection Application
The increasing prevalence of lithium-ion batteries in the solid waste stream poses a
fire risk to the City's solid waste collection trucks, transfer stations, material recovery
facilities, and landfill when individuals improperly dispose of them. To extend outreach
on the proper disposal of lithium-ion batteries, the Public Works Department is
requesting grant funding to launch a six-month pilot program which aims to educate
residents about responsible battery disposal and provide safe drop-off options for
lithium-ion batteries. The total grant funds applied for in this application is
approximately $90,000.

The Public Works Department is requesting retroactive authorization to submit grant
applications for ADEQ’s Recycling Grant Program’s WRA category due to the short
application timeline. If not authorized, the grant applications will be withdrawn. If
awarded, funds would be available by early 2026 and would need to be expended by
June 30, 2026. The Public Works Department is also requesting authorization to enter
into agreements to accept the funding if awarded.

Financial Impact
The Public Works Department is requesting grant funds up to $185,000 and the City's
cost would be $0 for the local match.

Summary
On July 28, 2025, the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) announced a

Surface Transportation Block Grant Program funds. The purpose of the program is to
provide technical assistance to MAG member agencies for improving traffic signal
coordination, and traffic operations, with the goal of reducing traffic delays and crashes
along major travel corridors.

There are three eligible TSOP project types:
· Traffic signal retiming
· Data collection (turning movement counts)
· Offset Optimization

Eligible projects funded with TSOP should be focused on, adjusting signal timing to
account for changes in traffic patterns due to new developments and traffic growth,
reduce motorist frustration and unsafe driving by cutting down stops and delays,
improve traffic flow through a group of signals, which reduces emissions and fuel
consumption, and postpone or eliminate the need for a costly capital improvement
project. The City has identified a traffic signal re-optimization project directly related to
the Interstate 10 Broadway Curve Project. The City will look to improve signal timing in
and around the area bounded by Broadway Road to the north, Baseline Road to the
south, 7th Street to the west and 48th Street to the east. The project area has not been
re-timed in the last five years.



The deadline for the grant is Monday, August 25, 2025.

Project# 05-205
Quarter Section: 10-26
District#: 7



Location: The east 20 feet of right-of-way lying
westerly of 817 West Madison Street

Applicant: Greenman Law / Jordan Greenman

Request: Request to the east 20-feet of the 45-feet
right-of-way lying westerly of lot 19, Block 1,
Neahr’s Addition APN 112-05-016A.

Purpose of request: Applicant states the right-of-way
abandonment will allow for the
redevelopment of the abutting parcel.

Hearing date: March 13, 2025
TAKEN OUT FROM UNDER
ADVISEMENT AND DENIED ON May 15,





City Staff Research
City Staff research shows that the 9th Avenue 90-feet right-of-way was dedicated on January 25,
1900 by the Evans Subdivision of Block 29 Nearh’s Addition Subdivision Plat under Book 2,
Page 77 of the Maricopa County Recorder. If abandoned, the 9th Avenue 20-feet-wide right-of-
way would be conveyed back to the abutting property owner.

City Staff Comments
This request was routed to various City departments for their recommendations. Listed below
are the responses from each department.

Street Transportation Department – Josh Rogers
The Street Transportation Department has reviewed the attached abandonment application and
has the following:

Comments:

The Capitol Mall is a distinct area within the City of Phoenix. Under the planning oversight of
the State of Arizona, the area serves multiple purposes including housing the State Capitol,
governmental offices, industrial and commercial businesses, and historic residences. As is
typical in urban settings, the open space within the Capitol Mall consists of both private and
public properties. Enhanced streetscapes along the public street network play a vital role in the
urban open space environment, improving its functionality and accessibility for the public.


Originally platted as one of Phoenix’s first subdivisions during Arizona’s territorial period, the
Capitol Mall features rights-of-way’s historically wider than typical city street cross-sections. Like
other urban districts near downtown, local roadways are designed to accommodate a diversity
of public and pedestrian uses, necessitating a broader streetscape than what is typical for local
roads.

Furthermore, modifications to the streetscape within the Capitol Mall District must be part of a
coordinated planning effort with the State of Arizona, City of Phoenix, and area stakeholders. As
such, the City of Phoenix Street Transportation Department does not support standalone
modifications.

Given the historic nature of the district’s street cross-sections, their intended function within an
urban area, and the absence of a unified streetscape modification plan, the Street
Transportation Department does not support the proposed abandonment of the 9th Avenue
right-of-way.

Should you have any questions regarding these comments, please contact me at
Joshua.rogers@phoenix.gov.

Street Transportation Utility Coordination Department– Andrea Diaz
The Street Transportation Department Utility Coordination section has no comments


PDD Traffic Department – Derek Fancon
Recommend denial of the 20-feet right-of-way. 9th avenue is offset to the ease, so abandoning
20-feet will bring the right-of-way to the back of curb, leaving no room for the sidewalk.
However, Traffic would recommend approval of the abandonment of 10-feet right-of-way so long
as the sidewalk is relocated.

PDD Planning Department – Dru Maynus
Capitol Mall Overlay District - The abandonment request is located within the Capitol Mall
Overlay District per Section 646 of the City of Phoenix Zoning Ordinance. The purpose of
Capitol Mall is prevent a concentration of certain uses which can restrict businesses and
residences from functioning normally and contributes to the deterioration of the business and
living environment the downgrading of property values, and the diminishment of health, safety
and general welfare conditions in the area. Further the intent of the district is to protect existing
residential and non residential uses from negative impacts caused by a concentration of
specified uses and to prohibit he addition of certain uses and restrict the addition of certain other
uses which have negative impacts on the area. Please be sure that the intended use of your
development is consistent with the permitted uses of Section 646.

Governmental Mall Notification Area - To add, the abandonment site is located within the
Governmental Mall Notification Area, thus, meaning is part of the Arizona Government Mall
Master Plan. The Master plan was adopted by the State Legislature; therefore, indicating that
the site is governed by the State of Arizona. Because of this all-development activity within the
area must first obtain approval from the Arizona Department of Administration (AZDOA). Please
contact Ruben Duran with AZDOA to start this process. Ruben can be contacted at 602-397-
1350 or ruben.duran@azdoa.gov.

Railroad - Please note that if you plan on obtaining any building permits a “Notice of Railroad


Proximity Disclosure” is required. This document will be provided during Site and Civil reviews
or when building plans are logged in.

Federal/State Superfund - This property is located in a Federal Superfund or State Superfund
site. The customer can obtain information by going to the Arizona Department of Environmental
Quality (ADEQ) website located at https://www.azdeq.gov/NPL_Sites [azdeq.gov] for Federal
Superfund sites or https://www.azdeq.gov/WQARF [azdeq.gov] for State Superfund sites.
ADEQ can also be reached by phone at 602-771-4410 for Superfund or State Superfund sites.
The City of Phoenix Office of Environmental Programs can be reached at 602-256-5669.

Future Light Rail - The abandonment area is located within a future light rail corridor. Please
contact the office of Customer Advocacy (OCA) at 602-534-7344 for more information.

Since the abandonment request has not received approval from AZDOA, the Site Planning
Division currently does not recommend approval of the abandonment request.

ADOA – General Services Division – Joel Carrasco
Prior to approval of ABND 250004 the applicant needs to contact Ruben Duran with AZDOA to
obtain approval of the abandonment request.

Office of Customer Advocacy – Renee Blakley
Although the property is near future expansion, it is more than a block away. The requested
area of ABND 250004 is not located on a street directly adjacent to a planned light rail extension
and will not have a negative impact to future light rail expansion.

Streetlights – Jason Fernandez
Recommend approval with the following comment:
1. Page 2 of ABND narrative paragraph 1, line 2 thru 4, sentence 2, references "The
proposed abandonment will enable the property owner to relocate existing sidewalks
and re purpose the land to better serve the community." Future sidewalk relocate and
re-purpose will require new streetlight / pedestrian lighting review and construction at
owners expense.

Solid Waste – Megan Sheets
Approved.

Water Services – Don Reynolds
WSD has NO stipulations for this Abandonment.

PDD Village Planner – Samuel Rogers
1. Staff has concerns regarding the request.
2. The Capital District Development Guidelines state: "For the safety and comfort of
pedestrians, sidewalks should be separated from traffic by an 8-foot width. This 8-foot
buffer may include landscaping, a bicycle lane, and/or on-street parking." The proposed
abandonment would eliminate this buffer, reducing walkability and compromising
pedestrian safety.
3. The Government Mall Master Plan identifies Madison Street as a proposed secondary
bike route. The proposed abandonment would negatively impact bicycle infrastructure
and pedestrian accessibility in the area.
4. The Government Mall Master Plan includes the following goals:
a. "Preserve, revitalize, and enhance the iconic and historical character of the area


through design guidance and enhanced public infrastructure; and"
b. "Foster an implementable approach to the development of iconic, vibrant, day-
and-night mixed-use activity centers serving residents and visitors to the area."

The proposed abandonment does not support these goals, as it would not enhance public
infrastructure nor preserve the historic character of the area. Furthermore, reducing pedestrian
and bicycle accessibility would create a less comfortable streetscape for residents and visitors

PDD Civil Department – Rachel LaMesa
Civil Division recommends approval without stipulations.

Public Transit Department – Skitch Kitchen
The Public Transit Department has no comment on this project.


Utility Comments
The request was also routed to outside utility companies for their input. Listed below are the
responses from each utility.
Cox – Zach Lawson

that you’ve submitted it has been determined that COX has no facilities within the easement and
therefore we approve your request to abandon.

Please note that although Cox Communications approves this abandonment, we do so with the
understanding that we will not assume any construction, relocation and/or repairs costs
associated or in result of this abandonment.

Southwest Gas – Susan R. Mulanax
After reviewing your request, it has been noted that we have a main gas line running in the area
proposed. Please contact Conflict Review at (480) 730-3843 to discuss and review your request
further.

Arizona Public Service – Darianna Arias

contact Bill Paul 727-449-3544 or bill.paul@lumen.com..


Salt River Project – Michael Laguna
Salt River Project has no objection to the abandonment of the east 20 feet Right-of-Way as
shown in the abandonment package. This is in an Arizona Public Service serving area.




Hearing Officer Decision and Findings

I have concluded that the ROW requested for abandonment is still necessary for public
use and therefore have DENIED this request.

Additional details are provided below.
1. Requirements for Disposition of Public Rights-of-Way (ROW). In considering this request, this
Hearing Officer has had to examine whether the ROW requested for abandonment is, in fact, no
longer necessary for public use as roadways. The following two definitions in Section 31-63 of
the City Code are important to this analysis:

• Abandon, abandoning, and abandonment: Any one of the methods set forth in Section 31-
64 whereby the City Council may dispose of roadways or portions of roadways no longer
necessary for public use as roadways.
• Roadway: All or part of any platted or designated public street, highway, alley, lane, parkway,
avenue, road, sidewalk, public utility easement, or other public way, whether or not it has
been used as such. (italics added for emphasis)


Any interested party has the right to appeal this decision to City Council. An appeal
application must be received by the Planning and Development Department within 15
calendar days of this decision (latest appeal date: May 30, 2025).
Please contact the Abandonment Coordinator, Dru Maynus, at (602) 262-7403, or

Formal Appeal of Denial of Abandonment Request – ABND 250004

Dear Phoenix City Council,

On behalf of Ian Likwarz, Greenman Law respectfully submits this appeal of the denial of ABND
250004, which concerns the proposed abandonment of the eastern 20 feet of South 9th Avenue right-
of-way adjacent to 817 West Madison Street, Phoenix, Arizona (Lot 19, Block 1, Neahr’s Addition;
APN 112-05-016A). The matter was originally heard on March 13, 2025, and taken under advisement,
but the decision was not issued until May 15, 2025—63 days later, well beyond the typical 30-day
timeframe provided for such determinations. This substantial delay created uncertainty and slowed
momentum on an adaptive reuse project that aligns directly with the City’s revitalization objectives
for the Capitol Mall area.
Functional Basis for the Abandonment Request
The project in question seeks to reactivate a pre-WWII industrial warehouse by converting it into a
banquet hall and community event venue, with outdoor dining and gathering space along the 9th
Avenue frontage. To support this, the applicant requested the abandonment of a 20-foot-wide strip
of underutilized right-of-way. This portion of 9th Avenue is significantly oversized, measuring 90 feet
in total width—far beyond the 50-foot standard for local streets established in the City’s 2018 Street
Classification Map. The eastern half-street alone spans 45 feet, when only 25 feet is required for public
functionality. Approving the abandonment would still preserve a 70-foot-wide right-of-way, which is
more than sufficient to accommodate vehicular travel, public utilities, and pedestrian infrastructure.

The need for abandonment is also driven by practical site constraints. The existing building is a 1940s
bow truss structure that currently lacks HVAC. Due to its age and construction type, the roof cannot
support the weight of rooftop HVAC units. As a result, the project requires a dedicated structure to
house the HVAC equipment on the west side of the building. The 14 feet of right-of-way proposed
for abandonment would be necessary to accommodate and support this mechanical structure, which
is essential to bringing the building up to modern functional standards.
ROW Dimensions and Sidewalk Relocation Feasibility
The purpose of the requested abandonment is not speculative. The project requires at least 15 feet of
the subject area for construction of the outdoor patio space that fronts 9th Avenue. If the full 20-foot
abandonment is approved, it would allow us to dedicate and build out five feet on the western portion



to reconstruct the sidewalk farther west, preserving pedestrian access while also improving public
safety. The existing curb lies approximately 20 feet from the edge of the building, making sidewalk
relocation feasible without affecting traffic flow or curb alignment. No vehicular lanes or curb lines
would be altered in any way as a result of the abandonment. Preliminary approval for the abandonment
of the eastern 28 feet of South 9th Avenue, adjacent to 817 West Madison Street, was previously
granted in 2018 under case number ABND 170026. Unfortunately, the project was delayed and the
approval lapsed.
Alignment with City Policy and Light Rail Objectives
This adaptive reuse effort directly supports the goals of the Capitol Mall Overlay District, which calls
for coordinated redevelopment that respects the area’s historic character while fostering mixed-use
investment and pedestrian activity. The surrounding neighborhood has long suffered from vacancy,
disinvestment, and persistent social challenges. This project would introduce regular foot traffic,
community events, new employment opportunities, and high-quality streetscape enhancements to a
corridor that has seen little improvement in decades. The site is also located within one block of the
future light rail expansion, making it an ideal location for transit-oriented development. The City has
repeatedly emphasized the importance of placing walkable, mixed-use projects near the light rail line,
and this proposal would contribute directly to that effort.
Agency and Utility Review Summary
Importantly, this request was not rejected due to a technical deficiency or a safety concern. In fact,
most City departments either supported the abandonment or had no objections. The Civil Division,
Water Services, Solid Waste, Streetlights, and Public Transit all approved the request outright. The
Traffic Department recommended partial approval—specifically 10 feet—conditioned on sidewalk
relocation, confirming the basic viability of shifting pedestrian access westward. The Office of
Customer Advocacy confirmed that the abandonment area is more than a block away from any
planned light rail expansion and would not interfere with any future transit development. CenturyLink
and Southwest Gas noted the presence of existing facilities but indicated a willingness to work through
utility coordination processes, as is standard for abandonment cases. Cox and SRP approved without
objection.
ADOA Approval and Planning Staff Concerns
Further, Greenman Law has already obtained formal written approval from the Arizona Department
of Administration (ADOA), which oversees the Governmental Mall area. In a letter dated March 27,
2025, ADOA confirmed that it reviewed and approved the proposed abandonment of the subject 20-
foot strip and deferred to the City of Phoenix for implementation. This directly contradicts the
Planning Department’s assertion that the abandonment should not proceed absent ADOA support,
and eliminates any ambiguity as to state-level approval of the proposal.





Despite this overwhelming technical support, the abandonment was denied based on generalized
planning theories and speculative concerns about future streetscape design, rather than any practical
or site-specific rationale. The City's own transportation and planning maps confirm that the right-of-
way is substantially oversized. There is no identifiable or realistic public use for the subject strip, and
its retention serves only to obstruct meaningful and needed redevelopment. Phoenix City Code
Section 31-64 authorizes abandonment of public rights-of-way when they are no longer necessary for
public use, and that standard is unquestionably met here.
Conclusion and Request for Reversal
This neighborhood needs reinvestment. The City should be encouraging catalytic projects like this—
especially those that preserve historic buildings and convert them into vibrant community-serving
spaces. This proposal is consistent with Phoenix’s Adaptive Reuse Program, with the City’s General
Plan, with Capitol Mall overlay goals, and with the City's long-term light rail vision. The applicant has
done everything possible to coordinate with City and State staff and has responded constructively to
agency feedback at every stage.

We respectfully ask that the City Council reverse the Hearing Officer’s decision and approve the
abandonment as requested. This project deserves the opportunity to move forward and help breathe
life back into a part of the city that has waited far too long for meaningful investment. Please contact
me at any time with questions or for further information.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,




Jordan Evan Greenman
