The Drachman Institute is the research-based outreach arm of the College of Architecture
and Landscape Architecture (CALA) at The University of Arizona. The Institute is dedicated to
environmentally-sensitive and resource-conscious planning and design with a focus on underserved
and vulnerable communities. As an interdisciplinary collaborative, we engage students, staff,
faculty, and citizens to work towards making our communities healthier, safer, more equitable, and
more beautiful places to live. We embrace a service-learning model of education serving the needs
of communities while providing an outreach experience for students. This model is a fundamental
educational goal consistent with the mission of CALA and The University of Arizona.
The Drachman Institute acts as a nexus between community needs and the College’s skills
and knowledge in architecture, landscape architecture, and planning with a specific focus on
sustainable affordable housing, design-build, community and neighborhood planning, and historic
preservation.

II. RESEARCH AND METHODOLOGY
The Drachman Institute began work on this
project in May 2011. The first task was to
understand the sites on a physical, political,
social, and cultural level.
Site visits
May 19, 2011 – A visit to the Phoenix light rail
station areas. The visit included a walk around
each selected light rail station followed by a
meeting with the City of Phoenix Planning and
Housing staff, and staff from Metro Light Rail.
June 13, 2011 - A visit to the station at Sycamore
and Main in Mesa. The visit included a drive-by of
the entire area preceded by a meeting with the
City of Mesa Planning, Housing, Transportation,
and Economic Development staff.
June 23, 2011 - A visit to the Tempe light rail
station areas and a meeting with City of Tempe
Planning and Housing staff.
July 01, 2011 - A return visit to the Phoenix,
Tempe, and Mesa sites. Drive-by investigations
verifying land use and circulation (bus stops,
pedestrian crossings).
Additional visits were made after July 2011 for
updates.

Central and Camelback
Description and Impressions
Colloquially known as the “4 Corners,” this is
a mixed-use area; there is residential, retail,
and office use located in the half-mile area
surrounding the light rail stop. Located at the
intersection of Camelback and Central is an
L-shaped strip mall with little vacancy, a 12-story
office tower, vacant land, and small businesses
on individual lots. Further east and west along
Camelback is a continuation of businesses
located in single buildings on single parcels.
Some businesses have recently remodeled their
structures and added site landscaping; other
businesses have abandoned the properties
and left the buildings vacant. The properties
immediately

surrounding

this

commercial

activity are single-family residential. Further
out is a continuation of the residential and the
large land holdings of Brophy and Xavier College
12

Preparatory schools to the south. The immediate
area is deficient of public facilities - there is no
library, school, or park located within the 1/2
mile area.
The area immediately adjacent to the light rail
stop is not pedestrian friendly. Narrow sidewalks
are placed at the edge of the streets with very fast
automobile traffic. In order to cross Camelback
at 3rd Avenue as a pedestrian, it is necessary to
activate a crossing light; otherwise the light is
too short to safely cross.
The businesses located within the half-mile area
offer a variety of goods and services – banking,
restaurants, drive-thru coffee, a large chain
grocery store, art supplies, and barber shops to
name a few.
The immediate area has at least four active
historic neighborhood organizations. A majority
of the housing is one story single-family with
well-maintained landscaping.

Description and Impressions
The half-mile area at the Osborn light rail stop
is mostly comprised of office towers, hotels,
parking lots and garages, a regional mall, strip
malls, and vacant land. There is very little retail
or housing. However, “OneLexington” is located
in this area and is referred to as a transit oriented
development project.
The scale of the buildings and sheer number
of vast parking areas immediately adjacent to
the transit stop is not pedestrian friendly. The
sidewalks, though, are incorporated with wellmaintained landscaping that provide a buffer
between the automobile and the walking path
and, at times, shade.
Most of the buildings are nondescript glass
office towers with little or no signage. There is
38

approximately a 30 percent vacancy rate in the
office buildings.

Central and Thomas
Description and Impressions
Like the half-mile area at the Osborn light rail
stop, the land use around Thomas and Central
is mostly comprised of office towers, hotels,
parking lots and garages, a regional mall, strip
malls, and vacant land. The distinctive character
of this area can be attributed to the large hospital
facility of St. Joseph’s and the very large historic
neighborhood, Willo. The addition of the hospital
enables successful support retail services along
Thomas.
The scale of the buildings and sheer number
of vast parking areas immediately adjacent to
the light rail stop is not pedestrian friendly. The
sidewalks, though, are incorporated with wellmaintained landscaping that provide a buffer
between the automobile and the walking path
and, at times, shade.
64

Like Osborn, the buildings in the area are
nondescript glass office towers with little or
no signage. Aside from a small strip center,
it is difficult to understand what services are
provided in the area.
The bus ridership for the route along Thomas
boasts the highest ridership in the city. These
bus lines serve the hospital and a number of
community colleges east and west of Central.

Description and Impressions
Located just north of the sunken Interstate 10,
the half-mile area at the McDowell light rail stop
is a mixed-use area comprised of the Phoenix
Art Museum, the central branch of the Phoenix
public library, a park, small commercial spaces
for businesses, schools, and vacant land. The
area offers very little housing. The Central City
Village Planning Committee is currently looking
at proposed maximum heights to be allowed in
the area.
This area includes large expanses of open, vacant,
parking, and play yard spaces to support the uses
of the museum, library, and schools.

Washington and 12th
Description and Impressions
The half-mile area surrounding the 12th and
Washington light rail stop includes a variety of
non-profit organization offices and services, a
City of Phoenix transportation office building,
school facilities, and large surface parking lots.
There are also small law office buildings and a
legal services facility that includes fleet parking.
Numerous buildings large and small have
“for lease” signs. Small and very large church
buildings are also located here.
The area in general is not unpleasant for walking
although there is limited access to easily cross
the rail line. The smaller-scale buildings such as
those housing non-profits and law offices have
nice landscaping. The larger-scale industrial
style buildings and parking lots lack landscaping
and offer an unfriendly presence. Although
116

Washington carries much traffic through this
area, many pedestrians were encountered.
One block north of Washington and the rail
line are a mix of older one-story single-family
housing and newer low-rise (three or four-story)
multi-family housing. An attractive development
of newer one-story single-family homes along
curving streets is located at the west end of this
area, with the towering buildings of downtown
Phoenix and Chase Field in the background.

Apache and McClintock
Description and Impressions
One mile from the eastern edge of Arizona State
University, the half-mile area surrounding the
Apache and McClintock light rail stop includes a
variety of housing options, typical retail services
(automobile repair, restaurants, small grocery
stores, liquor stores and bars), and a police substation. The area has a combination of historically designated single-family neighborhoods to
the northwest, older lower density multi-family
residences, newer multi-family student housing
developments along the corridor, and older mobile home communities to the east.
Apache Boulevard served as an interstate highway until U.S. 60 was built to the south in the
1970s. As a result, the area was built for the automobile and is typical of many urban areas built
between the 1950s and 1980s. Wide streets,
narrow sidewalks, and parking lots make up the
142

built environment. The proximity to the University makes this a heavily travelled bicycle corridor.
Lots on the west side of McClintock along the
corridor are narrow and shallow, with smaller
commercial buildings, the exception being the
south west corner, which has two narrow and
very deep properties. Lots to the east side of
McClintock are also narrow, but much deeper.
Lots on the north have access to both Apache,
and the residential area to the north. Lots on the
south have access to Apache, and are more than
1,200 feet deep, extending to the Union Pacific
Railway to the south, which is adjacent to industrial properties. There are height restrictions on
surrounding parcels, and a special district has
been developed for this area.
The area has a combination of all residential,
mixed-use, commercial and industrial land uses
within ½ mile of the intersection, providing
unique living and employment opportunities.

Apache and Price
Description and Impressions
The half-mile area surrounding the Apache and
Price light rail stop is two miles from Arizona
State University and therefore less impacted
by market forces related to the university.
With freeway access and a park and ride lot,
this intersection has a significant multi-modal
transportation influence on the environment.
The area is bounded by the canal to the east,
the dividing line between Tempe and Mesa. The
area is subdivided by the freeway in the middle,
limiting east west pedestrian movement from
the neighborhoods on either side of the freeway,
and forcing pedestrian and bike traffic out onto
the Boulevard.
The land use patterns are more regular in this
area compared to McClintock, with shallow
commercial frontage on the north side, backing
up to single family residences of cultural
168

significance. The south side has commercial
properties that back up to both multi-family and
industrial properties; the south side has greater
density and lot sizes. The area includes a variety
of housing options, lower-density suburban
single-family lots and duplexes, to higher density
apartments. There are fewer student housing
or condominium properties in this area. There
are height restrictions on surrounding parcels,
and a special district has been developed for
this area. A new multi-family affordable housing
option has been built for deaf senior citizens;
the second phase of this project is planned for
owner-occupied units. Retail services include
automobile repair, restaurants, flower shop,
small grocery and convenience stores, liquor
stores, and bars, and a Park’N Ride lot. The area
is not pedestrian friendly, but a multi-use path
exists beside the canal, providing a north-south
path for non-vehicular travel.

Main and Sycamore
Description and Impressions
The half-mile area surrounding the Sycamore
and Main light rail stop is typical low-scale/
impact suburban development with a variety of
uses - it includes three large shopping centers,
smaller strip centers, office parks, warehouses,
apartments,

technical

trade

schools,

an

elementary school, a bus transfer station and
single family residential areas.
Although the area offers a variety of retail services
and uses and hosts a light rail transit station
and a bus transfer station, it is not pedestrian
friendly. The sidewalks are located at the edge
of the street that offer little buffer between the
pedestrian and fast moving traffic.
The area has no multi-family housing units, but
single family detached housing located on small
194

lots.
Much planning work on the area was done
through the West Main Street Area Plan and any
work at this site should build off that process.

THIRD PARTY ANALYSIS: CENTER FOR
NEIGHBORHOOD TECHNOLOGY
Drachman Institute utilized data analyses by
the Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT).
A brief explanation of their methods and data
as well as links to their website, are provided
below:
MEDIAN INCOME
Median Income refers to Median Household
Income in 1999 (P53) obtained at the block
group level as well as at the regional level
(MSA or PMSA) to define the Area Median
Income (AMI). For more information see http://
htaindex.cnt.org/downloads/Methods.3.3.11.
pdf
HOUSING COSTS
Housing Costs were determined using the 2000
US Census Summary File 3 variables Selected
Monthly Owner Costs for All Owner-Occupied
Housing Units with a Mortgage and Gross Rent
for Renters Paying Cash. For more information
see http://htaindex.cnt.org/downloads/
Methods.3.3.11.pdf
TRANSPORTATION COSTS
The transportation model was used to estimate
auto ownership (vehicles per household), auto
use (annual vehicle miles traveled), and transit
use for each block group. To calculate total
transportation costs, values for the per unit
cost of each component were determined and
then aggregated for the specific transportation
components in each block group. For more
information see http://htaindex.cnt.org/
downloads/Methods.3.3.11.pdf
TRANSIT USE
Because no direct measure of transit use was
available at the block group level, a proxy was
utilized for the measured data representing
the dependent variable of transit use. From
the US Census Summary File 3, Means of
Transportation to Work (P30) was used to
calculate a percent of commuters utilizing
public transit. For more information see http://
htaindex.cnt.org/downloads/Methods.3.3.11.

NEIGHBORHOOD TECHNOLOGY (CONT.)
AVERAGE JOURNEY TO WORK TIME
Average Journey to Work Time was calculated
using Aggregate Travel Time to Work (in
minutes) by Travel Time to Work by Means of
Transportation to Work (P30 from 2000 U.S.
Census Summary File 3) to define the universe
of Worker 16 Years and Over Who Did Not Work
at Home. Average journey to work time was
calculated at the block group level in minutes.

VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED
For the dependent variable of auto use, the
regression analysis was fit using measured
data representing the total amount that
households drive their autos, or vehicle miles
traveled (VMT) per automobile. In order to
determine the amount that households drive
their autos, odometer readings are utilized.
Data are obtained for one region of the country,
the optimum formula is determined using the
independent variables in that region, and these
formula are then applied to the study area.
Odometer readings for the time period of 20052007 were obtained from the Massachusetts
Department of Transportation for the entire
state at a 250 meter grid cell level. A similar
data set for the greater Chicago area was
analyzed at the zip code level and compared
with the Massachusetts data set resulting in
similar relationships with the independent
variables. Due to the geographic scale of the
Massachusetts data set, the regression analysis
is fit using these data. For more information
