A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, AMENDING THE GENERAL PLAN MAP OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, ARIZONA,
BY APPROVING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT GPA17-08 FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT
8420 WEST CAMELBACK ROAD.
ORDINANCE NO. 018-03
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, REZONING PROPERTY LOCATED AT 8420 WEST CAMELBACK ROAD FROM
SR -17 TO R1-8 AND R1-10 PRD (PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT) FOR A
DEVELOPMENT PLAN ENTITLED "CAMELBACK VILLAGE," AMENDING THE ZONING MAP;
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND ORDERING THAT A CERTIFIED COPY OF
THIS ORDINANCE IS RECORDED.
Presented By: Jim Cronk, Interim Planning Director
Ms. Bower read the resolution and ordinance by title.
Mr. Cronk said there were two items — a General Plan amendment and a rezoning application
being considered for property located at 8420 West Camelback Road. The Camelback Village
site was located north of Camelback Road and slightly west of 83rd Avenue and was a 14 -acre
site.
Mr. Cronk said the General Plan amendment was from low-density residential, 1 to 2.5 units per
acre, to medium -density residential of 3.5 to 5 units per acre. He said there was planned
commercial to the east and medium residential to the west.
Mr. Cronk said the rezoning request was to go from SR -17 to a combination of R1-8 and R1-10
PRD, both single-family categories but with two different densities. The proposal was
approximately 3.6 units per acre for the entire property. In the R1-8 area, the average lot size
was just over 7,040 square feet and in the R1-10 area, the average lot size was 9,750 square
City Council Meeting Minutes - January 23, 2018 Page 5 of 16
feet.
Mr. Cronk said the R1-8 was proposed for the southern 2/3 of the property. R1-8 was to the
west and shopping center zoning was to the east. Where the SR -17 was to the north, R1-10
zoning was being requested, which gave the development an approximately 2,000 -square foot
larger average lot size in an attempt to reflect and be sensitive to the surrounding
neighborhood.
Mr. Cronk said the Planning Commission voted unanimously to support both the General Plan
amendment and the rezoning request. Staff was recommending approval of the ordinance with
one stipulation, that the development proceed in substantial conformance with the Development
Plan dated October 10, 2017.
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff opened the public hearing.
No one wished to speak.

actions on the agenda to be sensitive to the larger lots surrounding the subject properties.
She said good compromises had been reached in all three actions and she would support
the passage of all three.

8237 WEST NORTHERN AVENUE.
ORDINANCE NO. 018-04
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, REZONING PROPERTY LOCATED AT 8237 WEST NORTHERN AVENUE FROM
PAD (MACKENZIE PARK PAD) TO RT -6 PRD (PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT)
FOR A DEVELOPMENT PLAN ENTITLED "NORTHERN RIDGE ESTATES," AMENDING THE
ZONING MAP; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND ORDERING THAT A
CERTIFIED COPY OF THIS ORDINANCE IS RECORDED.
Presented By: Jim Cronk, Interim Planning Director
Ms. Bower read the resolution and ordinance by title.
Mr. Cronk said the two items — a General Plan amendment and a rezoning application were for
the Northern Ridge Estates, located just south of Northern Avenue and east of 83rd Avenue.
Mr. Cronk said the applicant was asking for a change from a combination of office and
low-density residential to medium -density residential. The property would have a density of
3.62 dwelling units per acre with 53 lots on a total of 14.66 acres.
Mr. Cronk said the zoning request was to change PAD (Planned Area Development) to
R1-6 single-family residential, PRD (Planned Residential Development). He said there was
currently PAD to the east and south. There was R1-6 zoning just to the west of 83rd Avenue.
Mr. Cronk said the Planning Commission had unanimously recommended approval. Staff also
recommended approval of the General Plan amendment and the rezoning request with a
stipulation that the development be in substantial conformance with the Development Plan
dated October 10, 2017.
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff opened the public hearing.
No one wished to speak.
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff closed the public hearing.
A motion was made by Councilmember Bart Turner, seconded by Councilmember Joyce
Clark to adopt Resolution No. R18-11.
Councilmember Clark said it was a very difficult parcel. It was thought that commercial
would be the most applicable type of development, however, there was no access from
Northern Avenue at that location onto 83rd Avenue, so commercial didn't make sense. The
plan was revised and there was an extremely large buffer along Northern Avenue. She said
the applicant had also promised to provide sound attenuation, as much as possible, for the
homes. It was best outcome for the site.
The vote on the motion was.

19. RESOLUTION NO. R18-12
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, AMENDING THE GENERAL PLAN MAP OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, ARIZONA,
BY APPROVING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT GPA14-03 FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT
8079 WEST ORANGEWOOD AVENUE.
ORDINANCE NO. 018-05
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, REZONING PROPERTY LOCATED AT 8079 WEST ORANGEWOOD AVENUE
FROM R1-10 PRD (SINGLE RESIDENCE WITH A PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
OVERLAY) TO R1-10 PRD AMENDED (SINGLE RESIDENCE WITH A PLANNED
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY AMENDED); AMENDING THE ZONING MAP;
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND ORDERING THAT A CERTIFIED COPY OF
THIS ORDINANCE IS RECORDED
Presented By: Jim Cronk, Acting Planning Director
Ms. Bower read the resolution and ordinance by title.
Mr. Cronk said the item was another General Plan amendment and a rezoning request. The
property was located at 8079 West Orangewood. To the north of the property was Orangewood
and there would be emergency access to 81 st Avenue. The applicant would complete its half
section of a portion of 81 st Avenue to get secondary access into and out of the site.
Mr. Cronk said the Orangewood Terrace General Plan amendment would be from the
low-density residential to medium -density residential. To the east was existing low-density
residential and to the west was medium -density residential.
Mr. Cronk said the rezoning application was requesting a change from the R1-10 Planned
Residential Development (PRD) to a Planned Residential Development R1-10 Amended. The
applicant was amending the development regulations but keeping the same zoning.
City Council Meeting Minutes - January 23, 2018 Page 8 of 16
Orangewood Terrace would be detached single-family homes on approximately 20 acres, with
gated, private streets internal to the project.
Mr. Cronk said 51 dwelling units were proposed with a density of 2.58 dwelling units per acre.
The average lot size was approximately 9,000 square feet. To the east was SR -17, to the west
was R-18 and north across Orangewood was SR -17.
Mr. Cronk said the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval and staff
was also recommending approval. The rezoning case was being recommended with three
stipulations. The first was that the development be in substantial conformance with the
Development Plan for Orangewood Terrace, dated October 25, 2017. The second stipulation
related to grandfathering in the water rights that were on the property. Water service would be
provided by the City and the rights would be designated for the City. Mr. Cronk said the third
stipulation related to obtaining a letter of adequate school facilities from the school district.
Mr. Cronk said there was also a condition that Lot 47 be restricted to a single -story house. The
lot was in the northeast corner and abutted the subdivision to the east. There was very little
open space in that area so the lot was being restricted to single -story.
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff opened the public hearing.
Karen Edwards said she resided on 79th Lane, near the development. The proposed
development was to the west of the existing homes. She asked if it would be limited to
single -story homes where it abutted existing single -story homes. Ms. Edwards was concerned
about privacy.
Ms. Edwards said the applicant had also discussed constructing a new wall but no one had
talked about that. She had been told a petition with signatures from all the home owners would
be necessary for the new wall but no one was able to tell her where to get the required form.
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff asked if the petition had been turned in.
Ms. Edwards said no. No one had informed her how to get the petition started or where to tum
it in.
Councilmember Clark said this was the first she had heard about the request for single-family
homes all along the east side and about the wall. She suggested that Ms. Edwards speak with
Mr. Cronk about the issues.
Councilmember Aldama said the Council report indicated the developer was currently planning
for two-story homes in the development but the final design of the future residences had not yet
been completed. However, the developer agreed to consider not locating two-story homes
immediately adjacent to the east boundary line of the property.
Mr. Cronk said the one lot that was the subject to the third stipulation was Lot 47. It was the
only lot that abutted the adjoining property to the east. There was no other place where a lot
was abutting, other than at Lot 47.
Councilmember Clark said it looked like the sides of the houses would face eastward, rather
than the front of the house.
Mr. Cronk said that was correct. The side of the houses would face either to the east or to 80th
Avenue. The front doors would face either north or south.
Councilmember Clark said that should alleviate some concern about the issue of privacy.
City Council Meeting Minutes - January 23, 2018 Page 9 of 16
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff said that Ms. Edwards could turn petitions in to the City Clerk's Office.
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Clark had one stipulation she wished to add, since she would be making the
motion. She said the stipulation was, "the applicant shall construct a wrought iron fence with
spikes and a man -gate across the entire west end of Myrtle Avenue connecting the walls on the
north and the south side adjacent to the property."
Councilmember Clark said the reason for the stipulation was that Myrtle Avenue would never go
through and would dead end there. Placing a gate across Myrtle Avenue would substantially
alleviate intrusion from the County property into 79th Drive. The stipulation had been approved
by the Planning Department and the applicant.
A motion was made by Councilmember Joyce Clark, seconded by Councilmember Ian
Hugh to adopt Resolution No. R18-12 with the additional stipulation.

Mr. Cronk explained that the fence would go in a north -south direction, across that
right-of-way. There was approximately 4 to 6 feet on the south side that was outside the
right-of-way and staff would work with the applicant to try to get the property owner to
approve.

Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title.
Mr. Cronk said the rezoning request for Bethany Ranch was for a 14 -acre property, located at
5850 North 71st Avenue. Bethany -Home Road was to the north and 71st Avenue was to the
east.
Mr. Cronk said the rezoning request was to add a Planned Residential Development (PRD)
Overlay on top of the existing R1-6. The applicant proposed to develop 56 single-family homes
at 3.88 dwelling units per acre. He said everything in the vicinity was zoned R1-6. The average
lot size would be approximately 5,000 - 6,800 square feet. The developer would be
responsible for constructing the southbound side of 71 st Avenue. A gated community with
private streets was proposed with access from 71 st Avenue.
Mr. Cronk said the Planning Commission had unanimously recommended approval. Staff also
recommended approval with a stipulation that it be developed in substantial conformance with
PRD booklet dated September 8, 2017. A second stipulation was that the development would
comply with the City's Engineering Design and Construction Standards.

Councilmember Aldama said the property had been vacant for many years and he

AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, AUTHORIZING THE ABANDONMENT OF A PUBLIC UTILITY EASEMENT AT
4950 WEST NORTHERN AVENUE TO THE OWNER OF RECORD OF THE PROPERTY AND
DIRECTING THE CITY CLERK TO RECORD A CERTIFIED COPY OF THIS ORDINANCE.
Presented By: David D. Beard, P.E., City Engineer
Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title.
Mr. Beard requested Council waive reading beyond the title and adopt an ordinance
abandoning an existing public utility easement at Assured Self Storage, located at 4950 West
Northern Avenue. The owner was requesting the City abandon an existing 20 -foot -wide public
utility easement consisting of approximately 17,850 square feet. The easement was internal to
the site and conflicted with a portion of the proposed storage facility building. There was an
existing Century Link facility in a portion of the easement but the owner had dedicated a new
easement to Century Link for the facility. There was no need for the City to retain the
easement.
Mr. Beard said there were no objections to the abandonment of the easement from the public
utility companies or from City departments. Staff recommended abandonment of the existing
public utilities easement. There would be no impact on City departments, staff or service levels
and there was no cost incurred by the City.
A motion was made by Councilmember Bart Turner, seconded by Councilmember Ian
Hugh to adopt Ordinance No. 018-07.

TO AN AIRPORT TERMINAL OFFICE LEASE AGREEMENT WITH PC COPS, INC., DBA
BLACK BOX CONSULTING FOR CERTAIN OFFICE SPACE IN THE TERMINAL BUILDING
AT THE GLENDALE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT.
Presented By: Trevor Ebersole, Director, Transportation
Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title.
Mr. Ebersole requested that Council waive reading beyond the title and adopt an ordinance
authorizing the City Manager to enter into Amendment No. 1 to the Airport Terminal Lease
Agreement with PC Cops doing business as Black Box Consulting for Suite 204 to correct the
negotiating rental amount. The correct negotiated rate was $595.41 plus utilities and taxes.
The Glendale Municipal Airport leased office space to private companies. Black Box provided
website development, search engine optimization and managed service information technology

support.
Mr. Ebersole said Council approved the airport lease agreement with Black Box on August 8,
2017, for Suite 204, however it was discovered that there was a mistake with the rental amount
stated in the lease agreement. The rental rate incorrectly included the utility costs. Suite 204
had been vacant for several years and Black Box had agreed to lease Suite 204 at the correct
amount of $595.41 per month plus utilities and taxes.
Mr. Ebersole said the Aviation Advisory Commission had approved the amendment and was
recommending approval.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE ENTERING INTO OF AN OPTION
AGREEMENT AND JOINT ESCROW FOR THE SALE OF PROPERTY BETWEEN THE CITY
OF GLENDALE AND CAMELBACK SPRING TRAINING, LLC; AND ORDERING THAT A
CERTIFIED COPY OF THIS ORDINANCE BE RECORDED, AND DECLARING AN
EMERGENCY.
Presented By: Jack Friedline, Assistant City Manager
David Beard, City Engineer
Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title.
Mr. Friedline was requesting Council waive reading beyond the title and adopt an ordinance
authorizing and directing the entering into of an option agreement and joint escrow for the sale
of property between the City and Camelback Spring Training, LLC, for real property near the
northwest corner of North 107th Avenue and West Camelback Road, located within the
Camelback Ranch Spring Training Facility in the City of Phoenix. The City owned certain
property and had an option to purchase other property from the City of Phoenix, all located
within.the Camelback Ranch Spring Training Facility.
Mr. Friedline said that the City would enter an option with Camelback Spring Training LLC in the
amount of $3,340,000 to purchase the subject properties. He said once the option proceeds
were deposited with an escrow agent, the City would use a portion of the escrow proceeds in
the amount of $1,070,000 to exercise the option with the City of Phoenix to purchase two
parcels of the total four parcels being purchased by Camelback Spring Training LLC.
Mr. Friedline said once the property transactions between the City and the City of Phoenix were
complete, the City would transfer ownership of all four parcels to the Camelback Spring Training
LLC. He said the City would receive $3,340,000 from Camelback Spring Training and use
City Council Meeting Minutes - January 23, 2018 Page 13 of 16
$1,070,000 of that to exercise its option to buy parcels No. 3 and No. 5 and then transfer the
properties to Camelback Spring Training LLC.
Mr. Friedline said pursuant to City Code, a notice of sale for the property had been made in the
newspaper of general circulation in the City for two consecutive weeks and posted at City Hall.
Staff believed that the transaction was in the best interest of the City.
Mr. Friedline said there was a floor amendment that the City Attorney would address.
Mr. Bailey said to ensure clarity in Section 7.3, additional language had been added. The
following words were added to Line 4, after the word "Buyer," "closes escrow on the Glendale
property and." He said towards the end of the paragraph, there was language that was included
that provided, ".....and in the event that Seller must maintain parking spaces on the Glendale
property, such agreement shall include without limitation provisions providing the Buyer shall
not charge Seller any rents or amounts for occupancy or use of the Glendale property to fulfill
the 4,000 parking space requirement under the FUA to the extent that such obligation is not
relieved due to the Buyer's development"
Mr. Bailey said that the provision provided that to the extent a parking space was taken down
due to development, the City was not obligated to replace the parking space. The developer
was required to replace the parking space.
Mr. Bailey said additional language included that in the unlikely event that the City no longer
owned the property and the City still needed to provide parking on the property, the City did not
have to lease or rent it from the new purchaser. The City was not selling the property only to
have to turn around and lease it back from the new owner for the provision of parking.
Mr. Phelps said the buyers would have seven years to exercise the option to transfer
ownership. What they were purchasing was an option for the three plus million dollars and then
ownership would take place when the option was exercised.
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff asked if the amount of money that the City of Phoenix was receiving
was $1,070,000. The Council report had indicated $1,186,000.
Mr. Friedline believed there had been discussions with the City of Phoenix about paying that
sum off early and gaining some interest savings.
A motion was made by Councilmember Ray Malnar, seconded by Councilmember Ian
Hugh to adopt Ordinance No. 018-09.

COUNCIL COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS
Councilmember Aldama complimented Vice Mayor Tolmachoff on a great job and expressed
appreciation for her leadership.
Councilmember Aldama said approximately two years ago, he met with Public Works staff and pointed
out what he felt was one'of the worst streets in the City. 71 st Avenue, between Orangewood and Myrtle,
was between the Ocotillo District and the Yucca District. He said it took about two years to get the
street on the table. With the help of Council, who unanimously voted to put it in the CIP budget, the
project would begin in mid-February and would take approximately six months to complete. It would be
completed sometime in July. Families that lived along the road knew what an inconvenience the road
had been to the community. Staff had been working extremely hard and diligently to get the road
completed.
Councilmember Aldama said there should be a ribbon -cutting ceremony sometime in July for the
project. He thanked SRP for its diligence and partnership in allowing easements for the project.
Councilmember Aldama reminded everyone that the Chocolate Affaire 2018 was scheduled for February
9th —11th in Historic Downtown Glendale.
Councilmember Clark agreed with Councilmember Aldama's comments regarding 71st Avenue. One
side of the street faced the Yucca District and the other side faced Ocotillo.
Councilmember Clark welcomed Northern Ridge Estates which would have approximately 53 homes,
Orangewood Terrace with 51 homes and .Bethany Ranch which would have about 56 homes. That was
approximately 160 new homes in the Yucca District that were all infill projects. They were a mix of
standard -sized lots and larger -sized lots. She thanked all three of the applicants who optimized
responsive development.
Councilmember Hugh thanked Vice Mayor Tolmachoff for running an organized meeting.
Councilmember Malnar reminded the public that he and Vice Mayor Tolmachoff were sponsoring a free
shred event on February 3, 2018, at the Foothills Library from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
Councilmember Turner thanked Vice Mayor Tolmachoff for an excellent job.

Councilmember Turner reminded the public of the Glendale Arts Council's 55th Annual Juried Art Show
being held 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. through Saturday and 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., on Sunday, the final
day of the show. It had been a record breaking show in the number of pieces of art that had sold. The
proceeds went back into arts programs in the community. It was being held at Sahuaro Ranch Park in
the Fruit Packing Shed Gallery.
Councilmember Turner said there was also an upcoming Tractor Association event at Sahuaro Ranch
Park the weekend of February 10th. It included the annual relocation of tractors from downtown
Glendale to the park, which was an event worth seeing. He couldn't think of anything more
family -friendly and encouraged everyone to come out and see it.
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff wanted to thank Cholla residents and all Glendale residents for their patience as
the City completed its pavement management program. She had not received a single complaint with all
the major traffic delays in her district.
