The City of Phoenix Neighborhood Services Department is requesting a rezoning for nearly 1.5 acres at the NWC of 35th Avenue and McDowell Road in hopes of encouraging residential and commercial redevelopment near public transit.
Intermediate Commercial zoning currently covers 0.59 acres of the site, with the remaining 0.84 acres zoned General Commercial. The request seeks to change the zoning under the Walkable Urban Code, specifically to Walkable Urban Code, Transect 5:5 District to allow mixed-use multifamily development.
According to the staff report providing information on the request, “The proposal will facilitate the creation of housing and mixed-use opportunities within a quarter mile from a planned light rail station (35th Ave / Interstate 10) and next to a planned Bus Rapid Transit station (35th Avenue / McDowell Road).”
