I would agree with that. It's overzoning.

But it's basically allowed by zoning anyways. 56' R-5ish PUDs replacing, what, C-2 at the least isn't a stretch for Phoenix at all. Overzoning rules the entire city.

I am hearing similar concerns from Downtown Voices about a PRD R-5 high density development finally smashing into peripheral neighborhoods like 11th Ave and Roosevelt much like Alta Marlette,

There is no provision for downzoning in Arizona however. It is important to ensure that these developments or the faint prospectus thereof if nothing else, don't clear out 7th and Glendale like they did 4th and Fillmore in decades past.
