Section 630. Residential Infill R-I District—Multifamily Residential.
The Residential Infill District is intended to encourage new multi-family development within the central portion of Phoenix. The overlay district would permit greater densities and other features not permitted by the underlying district. Such residential development would increase the opportunity for people to live and work downtown. Greater use could also be made of existing under-utilized public facilities and services.
The district can only be combined with land already designated as residential R-3, R-4, R-4A, and R-5 zoning districts within the area bounded by 19th Avenue, 24th Street, Thomas Road and Harrison Street (Railroad).
A. Permitted uses. The permitted uses are as provided in the district with which the R-I district is combined.
B. Yard, height and area requirements. Except as required by Section 701 and 703.B, the following yard, height and area provisions shall be required for this district.
1. When the R-I district is combined with the R-3 district, there shall be a lot area of not less than two thousand square feet for each dwelling unit. When it is combined with the R-4 district, then shall be a lot area of not less than one thousand two hundred fifty square feet for each dwelling unit. No lot shall hereafter be subdivided to provide less than six thousand square feet of lot area nor to have a width of less than sixty feet nor a depth of less than ninety-four feet.
2. Front, side and rear yards shall be as required in the district with which the R-I district is combined. Additional setbacks may be required in connection with development review.
3. Lot coverage shall be as required in the district with which the R-I district is combined.
4. Building height shall be as required in the district with which the R-I district is combined except that with the R-4A and R-5 district, no building shall exceed a height of six stories, not to exceed sixty-five feet.
5. Yards for detached accessory buildings shall be permitted as in Section 706
C. Mixed uses development. When residential uses are to be combined with commercial office uses in an underlying R-5 zoning district, then minimum of fifty percent of the total gross floor area, excluding parking, shall be devoted to residential uses. If no residential use is to be developed with underlying R-5 district, then the provisions of the R-I district contained herein shall not apply.
D. Development review approval. A site plan approved in accordance with Section 507 of this ordinance shall be required for all uses developed in accordance with this section.
