Description

Amend City Code - Ordinance Adoption - Rezoning Application Z-SP-3-26-7 - Southwest Corner of 15th Avenue and Jackson Street (Ordinance G-7547) - District 7

Summary

Phoenix’s draft ordinance (Case Z-SP-3-26-7) concerns a 5.5-acre site at the southwest corner of 15th Avenue and Jackson Street. Although the listed zoning classification remains A-1 SP CMOD MH, the ordinance would formally permit a safe outdoor space/structured campground for unsheltered individuals. The site could provide up to 200 spaces for no more than 300 people, with priority for individuals near the Keys to Change campus. Requirements include restrooms, showers, supportive services, 24/7 security, fencing, shade, storage, bicycle parking, no drugs, alcohol, or outdoor fires, and perimeter controls. Community meetings and reporting are required. The special permit must be removed after four years, while future major redevelopment would trigger street and archaeological requirements.
