The City Council approved at its January 14, 2010 Regular Council Meeting the South Arizona Avenue Design Guidelines subject to revisions listed in the addendum.  These design standards are intended to guide the building architecture and site design of developments requesting Planned Area Development zoning, which are located along Arizona Avenue between Chandler Boulevard and Pecos Road, excluding the historic downtown square.

Background:  In January 2008, the City Council adopted the South Arizona Avenue Corridor Area Plan, which established a vision for creating an urban and pedestrian-oriented entryway along Arizona Avenue from the Santan Freeway to the historic downtown square.

One of the implementation steps necessary to realize the vision for downtown Chandler is to adopt design standards that will guide the building architecture and site design of redevelopment projects along the South Arizona Avenue Corridor. The area affected by these guidelines is depicted at right.  These guidelines are different than the Arizona Avenue street improvements in that they apply to properties located adjacent to Arizona Avenue between Chandler Boulevard and Pecos Road (excluding the historic downtown square) and not to the public right-of-way.
