Walkable Urban Code
As part of the Reinvent PHX project, a new urban and transit-oriented zoning code, the Walkable Urban (WU) Code, was adopted by City Council on July 1, 2015 (Ordinance G-6047). The Walkable Urban (WU) Code is Chapter 13 of the City of Phoenix Zoning Ordinance. The code regulates development in proximity to light rail stations and is envisioned to replace existing zoning for properties within the Interim Transit-Oriented Zoning Overlay Districts (TOD-1 and 2, Sections 662 & 663 of the Zoning Ordinance).
The WU Code approval by the City Council only created the regulations in the Zoning Ordinance. Properties within Transit Oriented Communities (map linked below) will still need to go through a rezoning process, with extensive public hearings, to establish the WU Code on a specific property.
