AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, RELATING TO
LAND USE AND ZONING; AMENDING THE CODE OF THE
CITY OF GLENDALE, CHAPTER 28 AND APPENDIX A -
ZONING; ADOPTING A REVISED COMPREHENSIVE ZONING
ORDINANCE; AND ESTABLISHING EFFECTIVE DATES.
WHEREAS, the Council is authorized and empowered by the Arizona
Revised Statutes, Sec. 9-462.01, to enact and revise zoning ordinances;
and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Glendale was last
comprehensively revised in 1960 and has had numerous minor amendments
to address particular issues or needs over the past 30 years; and
WHEREAS, the Council of the City of Glendale finds that it is
necessary and desirable to protect, promote and preserve the public
health, safety and general welfare of the City of Glendale and its
citizens, property owners and businesses that a revised comprehensive
Zoning Ordinance be adopted, superceding the provisions of the existing
Zoning Ordinance (Appendix A to the City Code) ; and
WHEREAS, the City, through the efforts of the Planning and Zoning
Commission, the ad-hoc Zoning Ordinance Revision Committee, and City
staff, began the process of comprehensively revising the Zoning
Ordinance over two years ago, and has received public input in 25
workshops by the Zoning Ordinance Revision Committee, two workshops and
two public hearings by the Planning and Zoning Commission, and two
workshops and one public hearing by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, the Council finds that the newly revised Zoning Ordinance
contains zoning districts, land-use regulations, and development
standards that are consistent with and appropriately implement the
policies and land-use categories established in the Glendale General
Plan adopted in 1989; and
WHEREAS, the Council finds that the newly revised Zoning Ordinance
protects, promotes and preserves the public health, safety and general
welfare by appropriately balancing the regulatory needs of the public
with the interests of property owners; and
WHEREAS, the Council finds that the zoning restrictions and
regulations on "adult" uses contained in the newly revised Zoning
Ordinance are the least restrictive measures necessary to mitigate and
prevent seriously detrimental secondary effects of these uses on
surrounding and nearby commercial and residential properties, which
secondary effects would materially contribute to the blighting of the
surrounding areas; and
-187-
WHEREAS, the Council finds that the administrative registration,
spacing and other requirements contained in the newly revised Zoning
Ordinance pertaining to Group Homes and Supervisory Care Facilities are
necessary to further the State and Federal goals and policies of
deinstitutionalizing the mentally and physically handicapped and to
guarantee that residential Group Homes and Supervisory Care Facilities
will, in fact, be in the community, rather than in neighborhoods
predominantly made up of Group Homes that re-create an institutional
environment in order to advance the goal of integrating the handicapped
into the mainstream of society.
