INTRODUCTION

I. INTRODUCTION

The City of Phoenix (“City”) through its Housing Department ("HD”) invites electronic

proposals from qualified organization(s) to serve as the Developer for the development of the

vacant City-owned property generally located at 32 East Columbus Avenue, Phoenix,

Arizona 85012 ("Site”) into a new mixed-use, mixed-income multifamily rental housing

project.

The City is seeking to address a critical need for affordable and mixed-income housing in

Phoenix. The Housing Phoenix Plan (“HPP”) was adopted by the Mayor and City Council

in June 2020, and it identifies the housing gaps and needs in our community. The HPP set

the goal of creating or preserving 50,000 homes by 2030 and recommended nine policy

initiatives to explore. Initiative 3 focuses on the redevelopment of City-owned land with

mixed-income housing, and accordingly, Mayor and City Council approved a list of City-

owned parcels for future affordable housing, including this Site.

A. Housing Department Overview

The HD provides quality affordable housing and a pathway to self-sufficiency for low-to-

moderate income families, seniors, and persons with disabilities. The HD programs provide

public housing, Section 8 housing vouchers, affordable rental apartments, and single-family

homes to more than 35,000 area residents. This includes partnering with non-profit and for-

profit community organizations on the preservation and development of affordable housing

units. The HD’s plans and policies are described in its Annual Agency Plan at

https://www.phoenix.gov/housing/brochures-reports.

B. Site Info

The Site consists of vacant property that is approximately 3.2 net acres generally located at

32 East Columbus Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85012. See Exhibit A for the site map and full list

of addresses and parcel numbers. The City is the current owner. The Site falls within the

Encanto Village, the Transit Midtown Character Area, and is currently zoned Walkable Urban

Code ("WU”), Transect 5:7 District Transit Midtown Character Area (WU T5:7 MT). The Site

was rezoned by the City to WU T5:7 MT in 2019. See Section II Scope of Work for additional

information regarding the Walkable Urban Code and rezoning stipulations that apply to the

site, as approved by City Council.

An existing conditions review of the water and sewer infrastructure by the Water Services

Department (WSD) has been completed. Please see Exhibit E for the full list of water and

sewer stipulations as provided by the WSD.

An updated Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was performed dated December 27,

2023. The assessment did not identify any Recognized Environment Conditions (RECs),

INTRODUCTION

Controlled Recognized Environmental Conditions (CRECs), Historical Recognized

Environmental Conditions (HRECs), or Business Environmental Risks (BERs). The

assessment recommends no further investigation of the property. The assessment report

has been posted along with the RFP.

An appraisal is currently underway, the results of which will be posted as a future addendum

to this Solicitation.

C. Alley Abandonment

There is an existing 12-foot-wide dedicated alley that runs from east to west through the Site

between Weldon Avenue and Columbus Avenue. The successful proposer may apply to

abandon the alley. The abandonment process requires the applicant to submit an application,

which can be found on the Planning and Development Department’s (“PDD”) website. A

public hearing may be required to complete the abandonment process. Please see the

Abandonment/Closure Process Flow Chart and PDD’s webpage on abandonments for more

information. The Developer would be responsible for costs related to the abandonment. See

Exhibit A and Exhibit B for the current site map and quarter section map.

D. Request for Proposals

Qualified organizations (“Proposer”) may submit their proposal under this Request for

Proposals (“RFP”) as a sole Proposer or as a team of Proposers providing the services set

forth in the Scope of Work for this Site. The City intends to select the Proposer(s) that best

meets the City’s needs and requirements to perform the services as described in this RFP.

Proposers will be evaluated based on their ability to carry out the requested services in a

timely manner and must demonstrate the ability and experience to 1) implement a

comprehensive mixed-use and rental development plan; and 2) implement housing

development strategies, working in concert with the City, residents, and other local

stakeholders.

The recommended proposal and business terms will be brought to the full City Council, and

possibly subcommittee(s) for review.
