How to Qualify

Step #1 - Are you located within the Infill Incentive Boundary?

If you answered "Yes," proceed to Step #2

If you answered "No," your project does not qualify for this Program, unless you have a commercial project (outside of the boundary) that involves expansion or remodeling of an existing shopping center or free standing commercial business within the City of Phoenix. (Proceed to Step #3).

Step #2 - Does your project consist of one of the following:

	Housing (Single family, multi-family, duplex, triplex, apartments, townhouse, condo etc...)
	Mixed Use Project which contains housing
	Transit oriented development located within a designated transit overlay district or within 1/4 mile of light rail station
	City assisted development within designated redevelopment areas
	Project receiving city financial assistance
	Identified as a qualified brownfields project by the City of Phoenix - Environmental Programs Office
	Designated as a Historic property by the City of Phoenix - Historic Preservation Office (Maps of Historic Areas)

If your project type is listed above, and is not a commercial project, proceed to step #4. If your project is listed above and is a commercial project, proceed to Step #3. Any other project does not qualify for the Program.

Step #3 - Commercial Projects outside the Infill Incentive Boundary.

a. Has your commercial development had one of the following vacancy rates (listing of commerical developments):

• 100% for 18 months or more if a single building?
• 50% for 18 months or more if a center?
• 40% for two years or more if a center?

• Redevelopment of a fire damaged building vacant for six months or more?

Note:Developer should be prepared to submit evidence of vacancy rates and length of time such as utility bills, sales tax filing, rent rolls or Realtor marketing contact or other evidence to satisfy these questions.

b. Is your project free of any active cases for violating the city Zoning or Neighborhood Preservation Ordinance?

If you answered "Yes" to both questions, proceed to Step #4. If you answered "No", your project does not qualify for this Program.

Step #4- Are you proposing any 24 hour businesses in your Project?

Projects such as auto services or single use gas stations, bail bonds businesses, bars, check cashing/payday loans, adult businesses, liquor stores, tobacco stores, gun shops, pawn shops, tattoo parlors, and 24 hour businesses not considered to be providing essential or emergency services will not qualify.
