Light Rail Transit Station Area Planning
The Central and Camelback Light Rail station is located off-street
on the property at the southwest corner of the intersection of Central Avenue
and Camelback Road. The station planning area consists of a ½ mile area
around the station. The immediate station area is dominated by the commercial,
retail and office uses along Camelback Road and Central Avenue. Behind these corridors
are single family residential subdivisions.

Introductory Meeting: Approximately 25 people attended
the introductory Station Area Plan meeting held on March 1, 2005, at the Black
Box Theater of Brophy Prep. This meeting was designed as an Introductory meeting
to brief the attendees on the Station Area planning process.
Principal Planner Sandra Zwick introduced staff and explained
the presentations for this evening's meeting. Presentations included the video
on light rail and a powerpoint presentation (933 KB,
PDF1)developed specifically for this station area. She stated the process
was to develop the community's vision for future development within a half mile
of the station. She also noted that the development community has expressed interest
along the light rail alignment.
Ms. Zwick advised the group that the next meeting, which will
be in April or May, will have a panel of Transit Oriented Development (TOD) experts.
Two months later, there will be a community "visioning" workshop. A
fourth meeting will be a workshop to address "How do we get there?"
The fifth meeting will be to review alternative land uses and design standards.
Staff will continue to work with the community on these for one or two additional
meetings. The final meeting will be a presentation of the final plan. The entire
process is expected to last 1 to 1½ years.
Ms. Zwick then played the video and powerpoint presentations.
She gave her phone number and email addresses for contact, then announced a five
minute break before taking questions and comments.
After the break the important points were recapped:
- Station Area Plans are for ½ mile around the stations
- ½ mile is a 5-10 minute walking distance
- All segments of the community should participate in the process
- This will be a long term plan; 20-25 years
