The Phoenix Planning Commission on Thursday approved a rezone for Pizza To The Rescue and Almost There Rescue to add an 83-car parking lot to a vacant property to the south.

The rezone now goes to Phoenix City Council for final approval.

The three-acre property at the southeast corner of 26th Street and Indian School Road contains a nonprofit dog rescue and a pizza restaurant where 25% of proceeds benefit the adjacent dog rescue.

“What this is about is puppies and pizza, which I don’t think has really low approval ratings these days in the fractured environment that we’re in,” said Thomas Galvin, development lawyer for the property owner.

The property had been a mix of commercial and residential zoning, but the rezone changes it to a Planned Unit Development.
