City Proposes New Zoning Designation for PH-5

The City of Phoenix adopted an amended Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) on September 19, 2022, in response to the adoption of a revised Urbanization Element, demonstrating the need for additional lands for both employment and residential development over the 20-year planning horizon.

Prior to amending its UGB, the City adopted several Goals and Policies into both the Land Use Element and Urbanization Element of the Comprehensive plan to ensure that the existing performance indicators within the Regional Plan Element of the Comprehensive Plan would be satisfied through the development of PH-5. The Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan amendments are intended to address applicable goals, policies, and performance indicators in the Comprehensive Plan by establishing a Neighborhood Element of the Comprehensive Plan, adopting a neighborhood plan for PH-5 into the new Neighborhood Element, and creating a new zoning district for the properties in PH-5.
