Title: Amend City Code - Ordinance Adoption - Rezoning Application Z-178-25-4 - Approximately 200 Feet East of the Southeast Corner of Central Avenue and the Oak Street/Encanto Boulevard alignment (Ordinance G-7484) - District 4
Summary
The City of Phoenix is considering an ordinance to amend zoning for a 0.43-acre site near the Heard Museum, shifting its classification from mixed-use residential and retail to a neighborhood retail zone (C-1 TOD-1 MH). This change aims to facilitate the relocation of an existing restaurant within the museum grounds. The proposal includes stipulations for architectural design, bicycle infrastructure, and green stormwater management, enhancing the site's compatibility with surrounding residential areas and promoting sustainability. The rezoning aligns with the city’s General Plan and Transit-Oriented Development initiatives, encouraging economic growth and improved access to public transportation. The Planning Commission and Village Planning Committee have both recommended approval of this initiative.
