Whatever the case I think Dicicio is right in this regard, I don't mind cities having requirements if you wan to build things in the downtown, but Downtown Phoenix doesn't have the gravitas and draw to start making developers jump through a bunch of arbitrary hoops.
In 20 years when most of the lots in downtown have been developed and the desire for more housing, office and hotels is constantly high we can maybe talk about some serious concessions from developers but for now they can just as easily locate in a number of other urban enough areas around the valley.
