Inc., is also requesting approval of a Preliminary Plat to subdivide approximately 14.73 acres for
a subdivision title"Camelback Village"for 53 lots. The site is currently vacant and the location is
considered an infill site.
Mr. Whalen stated that on July 31, 2017, the applicant mailed notification letters to adjacent
property owners and interested parties notifying the public of a neighborhood meeting which was
held on Monday, August 28, 2017. He stated that at the neighborhood meeting, there were three
residents in attendance in addition to the applicant. The participants did not express any concerns

The average lot size is approximately 8,260 square feet.He said each lot will have access to private
streets.
In addition, there are various landscape tracts, open space and storm water retention areas
identified on the preliminary plat layout throughout the project which totals 2.19 acres or 18.4%.
He noted these features will be owned and maintained by the Homeowners Association. Homes
are planned with two car garages and standard covered patios. All exterior elevations include a
finished surface, and concrete tile roofs. He added that concrete tile roof and ground mounted

able to fit into the area with several ways. One is the project is a gated community and has a very
large front setback with a lot of landscaping between Camelback Road and the entrance wall to
the neighborhood. He explained they tried to create a unique sense of place in this neighborhood.
The neighborhood has an open space with all the sidewalks leading to it and believes it will be a
very enjoyable place to live.He encouraged them to go view other similar homes built by Hillstone
Homes that are now being sold quite rapidly. He said this was a great solid project that meets all
of staff s stipulations and requirements.

approximately 1,338 acres from A-1 (Agricultural) to PAD (Planned Area Development).
The request will allow development of a new railroad served industrial park titled"Woolf
Logistics Center." This request will meet demands in the area for rail-served industrial
land uses. A PAD will provide a greater variety and intensity of land uses with an
appropriate development standard for a unified development. The site is generally located
at the southeast corner of Reems Road and Peoria Avenue (8805 North Reems Road) and
is in the Yucca District. Final approval of the rezoning request is contingent upon the

property being annexed into the city's boundaries. Staff Contact: Tabitha Perry,Assistant
Planning Director.
Ms. Tabitha Perry, Assistant Planning Director, made staffs presentation. She said this was a
request by the City of Glendale's Planning Commission to rezone approximately 1,338 acres from
A-1 to PAD. She said the request will allow development of a new railroad served industrial park
titled "Woolf Logistics Center." This request will meet demands in the area for rail-served
industrial land uses. She noted that a PAD will provide a greater variety and intensity of land uses
with appropriate development standards for a unified development. The site is generally located
at the southeast corner of Reems Road and Peoria Avenue and is in the Yucca District.
Ms. Perry stated that in March of 2016, Maricopa County approved a Use Compatibility and
Consistency Determination which determined that proposed rail-served industrial facilities are
consistent and compatible with the high noise or accident potential of Luke Air Force Base. She
said that in December of 2016, approval was received by Maricopa County for a Military
Compatibility Permit relative to land uses that will not negatively impact Luke Air Force Base.
She noted that water and wastewater service will be provided by Epcor, a private provider.
Ms. Perry stated the proposed Woolf Logistics Center PAD provides appropriate development
standards relative to building heights, setbacks, minimum lot size of 35,000 square feet, and lot
coverage at 60% for individual parcels. Equally valuable, the PAD provides reasonable design
guidelines to address landscaping, screening and architecture style of buildings. Currently, the
approximately 1,340 acres abuts several offsite access points. These access roadways are located
on Peoria Avenue, Olive Avenue,Northern Parkway at the Reems Road alignment, and Northern
Avenue. She noted these roadways, located within the City of Glendale's Municipal Area, are
classified as arterial streets and will be improved and maintained to city standards. To determine
internal street layouts, a Traffic Impact Analysis shall be required under the administrative design
review application process. At the time of pending developments, the applicant shall work with
city staff through a required Design Review Application process.
She informed that this administrative review process will focus on building orientation,appropriate
screening material, architecture design, and standard details for engineering, fire, sanitation, and
transportation requirements with the overall intent of a well-designed development. All applicable
city departments have reviewed the application. She said some departments have included
appropriate stipulations to ensure specific requirements are met. As noted,the permitted land uses
are compatible to the existing Luke Air Force Base.Representatives for the base have continuously
partaken in the Woolf Logistics Center intent for development and provided supportive letters.
She added that the completion of development will be based on market demands. These demands
will determine when parcels will be developed, thus development of each site will be phased in
accordance with the market demands.
Ms. Perry stated that on September 22, 2017, 105 notification letters were sent via U.S. mail to
adjacent property owners and interested parties inviting them to a neighborhood meeting held on
November 16,2017
Planning Commission Minutes
Page 5
October 4, 2017. In addition to the property owners' team and city staff, two individuals attended
the scheduled neighborhood meeting. She said both individuals were supportive of the rezoning
request; however, they did inquire about land uses, envisioned traffic circulation and mitigation
measures to deter potential overnight parking of semi-trucks in the immediate area. At the
completion of the staff report, the Planning Division received one e-mail of support provided the
rezoning request is in conformance with what was approved in Maricopa County.
Additionally, following the email, they received a letter from Rose Law Group and Plains Lpg
Services, owner of rail terminal facility. She said the letter made a request for a CUP that was
approved by the County regarding their property. Therefore, considering that staff was made
aware of this development within the last 24 hours and also in speaking with both property owners'
representatives, they would like time to research and have additional conversations on this topic.
She noted that if staff determines an additional stipulation is needed,they will address that matter
and craft a proposed stipulation that will be presented before City Council for consideration before
making a final decision or action on this case.
Ms. Perry stated the Planning Commission should recommend approval of ZON17-12, subject to
the stipulations as listed in the staff report. She asked if they had any questions.
Chairperson Dobbelaere asked if the Commission had questions. There were none.

presentation and would like to go on record that they agree with staff's findings and stipulations.

the Commission's approval as well.

property into 53 single family lots. He noted the proposed lot sizes range on average
approximately 5,700 square feet in size.Each lot will have access to private streets within the gated
community. There are also various landscape tracts, active open space areas and storm water
retention basins totaling 3.16 acres identified throughout the project. These features will be owned
and maintained by the Homeowners Association. He stated vehicular access is provided from a
sole entry drive on 83r1 Avenue. As noted, this project, once subdivided, will provide open space
/ storm water retention tracts as well as landscape tracts, perimeter theme walls, entry features as
well as on-site recreational amenities and active turf play areas. In addition, he said all features
will be owned and maintained by the Homeowners Association.

Chairperson Dobbelaere inquired as to the Preliminary Plat (PP) for this item. Mr. Whalen
informed the Commission that the PP will come later for approval. He noted that the applicant will
submit for a PP if this portion/item is approved.
Chairperson Dobbelaere called for the applicant's presentation.
Gary Lane, applicant's representative, 256 West Chandler Blvd, Phoenix, stated he was very
excited and proud of this project. He said they have had many community meetings to gather input
and comments from the community. They are committed to bringing a great neighborhood project
to this community. He will be happy to answer any questions they might have.
There were no questions from the Commission.
Chairperson Dobbelaere opened the public hearing.
Richard A. Davis, 8218 West Orangewood Avenue, Glendale, stated he has been a resident at that
address for 30 years. He lives a quarter mile away from this project and said he had not been aware
this was going on. He thought commercial development was being built in that area, however,
now a housing development was entering the area. He questioned the four houses per acre concept
and is against it. He said most of the homes there are one home per acre.
Karen Edwards, 7248 North 79th Lane, Glendale, stated that she received no notice either. She
agrees with the previous speaker and is opposed to this high-density project in the area. She has
concerns with the traffic it will bring into her neighborhood.
Stephen Mullis, 7920 North 81st Drive, Glendale, stated his property is directly adjacent to this
development. He stated he agrees with the previous speakers. He explained the properties there
are horse properties and to bring a high-density development is out of character to the area. He
suggested a stipulation that includes a buffer between his home and the development.
William Bjerke, 8261 W. Gardenia, Glendale, stated he was also not aware that corner was going
to be a home development project. He said he assumed it was going to be commercial. He was
also concerned with the high density in that area along with the traffic.
Chairperson Dobbelaere asked the applicant for his rebuttal.
Mr. Lane explained that the property was zoned R-16 in the county for at some point to be used as
such. He said the reason for the changes is because MacKenzie Park was rezoned in 2006/07 with
the expectation that it would have a new intersection around it. However, with the new
developments in the area,there is no intersection development. As a result,that corner has been in
escrow many times because the traffic flow does not allow for a commercial enterprise. He said
that they worked with several other cities to see what would be the best use for this corner. He
explained that this is what they come up with and it is better than having a failed commercial
center. He discussed some of the buffers being proposed, as well as the developers working with
November 16,2017
Planning Commission Minutes
Page 8
staff and city engineers to work on the traffic flow from this new development. In addition, he
talked about single and two-story placement of the homes to not encroach on anyone's privacy.
He also touched on the dedication they will provide for the Northern Parkway expansion.He added
that they have always been willing to work and hear the public's comments and concerns.
Chairperson Dobbelaere closed the public hearing.
Chairperson Dobbelaere called for a motion.
Commissioner Moreno made a motion to recommend approval of GPA17-06. Commissioner
Lenox seconded the motion,which was approved unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0.
Commissioner Moreno made a motion to recommend approval of ZON17-08 subject to one
stipulation contained in the staff report. Commissioner Lenox seconded the motion, which
was approved unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0.
Mr. Jim Gruber, Chief Deputy City Attorney, stated the Planning Commission's actions are not
final and the Commission's recommendation will be forwarded to City Council for further action.

access for the fire department will be provided at the southwest corner of the subdivision from 81st
Avenue.Although no homes in the subdivision face 81st Avenue,the developer will be completing
half-street improvements required for 81st Avenue.
Mr. Ritz stated that based upon the preliminary and then revised development plans for the
property, the applicant held two separate neighborhood meetings concerning this proposal. These
meetings were held on October 3, 2016 and on June 28, 2017. At the first neighborhood meeting,
eight residents attended. Questions were raised concerning improvements to Orangewood Avenue,
modifications to existing walls on the south and east side of the property, possibility of two-story
homes, access to irrigation controls for existing property owners on the east side of the property,
and desire for larger separation of houses from existing houses to the east. At the second
neighborhood meeting, eight residents attended. He said questions were raised concerning the
existing wall along the south and east boundary of the property and raising the wall to 8 feet, and
two-story homes in the development. The Planning Division received several e-mails from the
property owner to the south concerning this development and the desire that a street connection be
built which would provide access to her property from the north to Orangewood Avenue.
Mr. Ritz stated The Planning Commission should move to recommend approval of GPA14-03, as
written, and ZON14-05, subject to the stipulations contained in the staff report. He said this also
includes preliminary plat PP14-04, approval subject to the stipulations as listed in the staff report.
He asked if they had any questions. There were none.
Chairperson Dobbelaere called for the applicant's presentation.
David Cisiewski,applicant's representative,stated that this was a unique development. They have
spent an extraordinary amount of time working with staff, adjacent property owners, and
homeowners' meetings, to bring forth an excellent development plan for this property that has sat
vacant for many years. He summarized some of Mr. Ritz' presentation regarding their
improvement with retention lines,landscape,lot size,traffic flow number of lots and home heights.
He explained the property details using the area map. He noted that this was mostly an infill site
with most of the area already developed. He stated they have heard and been mindful of the
concerns coming from the community and have taken steps to address them. He believes this was
a much better plan than their previously proposed plan and are very excited to present it tonight.
They also agree with all of staff's stipulations and requirements. He asked for any questions from
the Commission.
Commissioner Harper asked about the property owner that was concerned with access to her
property. Mr. Cisiewski explained that he as well as the city have been in discussions with her
November 16,2017
Planning Commission Minutes
Page 10
regarding her concerns and proposals. He noted that at this time her concerns of not having access
were not valid; however, the city has continued discussions with her. He showed the property in
question on the map.
Chairperson Dobbelaere opened the public hearing.
Lois Tosh, 7432 North 79th Lane, Glendale, stated she had concerns with the irrigation affecting
her home. She also worries what type of people will purchase in the development because at the
moment,the area is a very friendly and tight knit community.
Karen Edwards,7248 North 79th Lane,Glendale,Arizona, 85308,stated her question was if Myrtle
was going to be a through lane. Mr.Ritz stated that Myrtle will not go through. She also wondered
about the two-story homes as well as the fence they asked for. She also had concerns regarding
the traffic and the bad street shape of Orangewood Avenue.
John Lawritson, 8111 West Orangewood Avenue, Glendale, stated he has been to every meeting
since this development was recommended. He remembers the meetings being very contentious.
He had concerns with the high density of the project. He was also concerned with the type of
people coming into the area considering most of the people who live there have large lots. He
added that what is presented to them today was not what the neighbors in the community want.
Richard A. Davis, 8218 West Orangewood Avenue, Glendale, stated he believed he had built his
dream house and now the zoning has changed. He said now the city is changing to increase the
density to almost 50%. He believes this will depreciate his land and home value. He suggested
less density. He stated he was very frustrated with the city and hopes this is not approved.
William Bjerke, 8261 W. Gardenia,Glendale,stated he was a member of the HOA board for homes
that were across from the proposed development. He also wishes the development project was
less dense like the rest of the speakers tonight. He hopes the applicant agrees to have landscape
buffers put up where needed and requested. He also discussed the traffic situation.
Chairperson Dobbelaere asked the applicant for his rebuttal.
Mr. Cisiewski stated that regarding the irrigation question, he stated there will not be any
modification on the community's irrigation system. In reference to the density concerns, he
believes their plan has a good compromise going from 58 to 51 homes. He discussed the
surrounding areas which seemed consistent with their proposal. He said another concern was
Myrtle Avenue which they have no plans to alter. Regarding the fence question addressed,he said
the applicant will consider replacing the existing fence if all the home owners along the fence agree
on the type of fence they would select or they can agree to repair the fence along the way as
conditions warranted. Since the new revisions, they believe they have addressed the two-story
concerns with significate setbacks. He added they will also be doing road improvement and area
upgrades. In closing, he said this will be a good and successful compatible land use project.
