The Central City Village is bounded by the Grand Canal on the northeast, Black Canyon Freeway
and 19th Avenue on the west, McDowell Road on the north and the Salt River on the south.
Central City contains the downtown including its sports venues, government and business
functions, Margaret T. Hance Park, Burton Barr Central Library, Gateway Community College,
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, seven light rail stations, and nine designated historic
neighborhoods. The downtown core is home to the Arizona State University Downtown Campus,
the University of Arizona School of Medicine and a thriving biomedical campus. The eastern
portion of the village contains land primarily with industrial uses, although with the arrival of
the light rail, residential uses have begun to develop.

2017 Zoning Adjustments
The Central City Village Planning
Committee heard fifteen rezoning
cases during 2017. Of those fifteen,
six were rezonings to the Walkable
Urban Code. The map to the right
shows that most of the rezoning
cases occurred in the northern
part of the village.
There was one Planning Hearing
Officer (PHO) case during 2017
that was located in Downtown
Phoenix. The Planning Hearing
Officer hears cases that amend
rezoning stipulations.
Within the Central City Village,
there were 78 zoning adjustment
(ZA) cases in 2017. These cases are
either for a variance or a use permit
and the Zoning Administrator or a
Hearing Officer makes a decision
on the case. Any appeal to a ZA
decision is heard at the Board of
Adjustment.
The map to the right shows that the
cases were distributed throughout
the village with a cluster located in
the northwest part of the Village,
and along Central Avenue.

In response to changing market conditions for residential development, the Townhomes on
3rd project, located on 3rd Avenue just south of Roosevelt Street, was envisioned to allow
the development of townhomes with individual land ownership. At the time this project was
planned and designed, city codes and ordinances contained regulatory barriers to this type of
development. The project utilized a number of variances and code modifications to facilitate
the required approvals. A direct outcome of this design was the adoption of the Single-family
attached (SFA) development option which is applicable to the central part of Phoenix, including
the city’s infill area. The ability to sell both a dwelling unit and the land provides developers
increased financing opportunities and residents additional housing choices.

RO2/KNIPE HOUSE PROJECTIn 2017, the historic Leighton G. Knipe House
was included in a request for proposal (RFP) for

True North Holdings was the developer selected
and they will call the future development RO2. The
preliminary plan approved by the City Council on

and 1,200 parking spaces.
