The property is located at the NWC of N 35th St and E Culver St with a net area of is 11,520 sq. ft. and gross area is 16,650 sq. ft. See the aerial map and the Legal Description.

The existing building on the site is a rundown home and the property is unoccupied. E Culver St is zoned R1-6 with an established little community of 6 single family homes on the north side of the cul-de-sac street.

 

The Gateway Elementary School is on the south side of the street. Directly adjacent to north of this parcel is a multifamily community (zoned R-4). N 35th St has multiple multi- family zoned parcels.

 

With a N 35th St address, this proposed “infill” building would be compatible with its multi-family neighbors. To keep to a 30’-0” height (at the top of the roof), the building is designed in a manner wherein the parking is slightly depressed from the street/ grade level.

​

The setback on the west side of the property will be 34’-6” which is 19’-6” more than the required minimum of 15’-00” and 4’-6” more than setback of 30’-0” for a building of this height adjacent to a single family zone (as outlined in the design standards for the R-4 zone). Furthermore, the flats being built above the depressed parking area will provide eight new rental apartments with elevator access. The elevator allows for the design and construction of two potential accessible units one each on the second and the third levels.

There will be lush landscaping on all four sides of the property with real turf ground cover along the two street sides and at the outdoor residents’ passive recreation area. This is generally in line with the greater older neighborhood of south east central Phoenix. There will be multiple tree varieties on all four sides in addition to colorful flowers and flowering bushes. The sidewalk along N 35th St shall be detached from the street curb and new trees will also be planted within the landscaped area.

The nearby amenities of the property include the bike and hiking trail along the Grand Canal Trail. The new building will provide for multiple bicycle parking spaces for its active residents.
