PUBLIC HEARING -LAND DEVELOPMENT ACTIONS
42. RESOLUTION NO. R17-64
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 GPA1;7-04 FOR PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 7300 WEST GRANDVIEW ROAD
Presented By: Jon Froke, Planning Director, Development Services Department
ORDINANCE NO. 017-33
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA; REZONING PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7300 WEST GRANDVIEW ROAD FROM
A-1, AGRICULTURE, AND R1-4 PRD, SINGLE RESIDENCE, PLANNED RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT TO R1-4 PRD, SINGLE RESIDENCE, PLANNED RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT; AMENDING THE ZONING MAP; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE;
AND ORDERING THAT A CERTIFIED COPY OF THIS ORDINANCE IS RECORDED
Presented By: Jon Froke, Planning Director, Development Services Department
Ms. Bower read the resolution and ordinance by title.
Mr. Froke said the companion applications were for 8.22 acres located on the north side of
Grandview Road at 73rd Avenue. The general plan amendment would remove two land use
designations on the property and replace the parks and open space and office to medium high
density residential. The category had a density between 5 and 8 dwelling units per acre.
Mr. Froke said the zoning case was a request to rezone from A-1 agricultural and commercial
City Council Meeting Minutes-"August 8, 2017 Page 9 of 19
office to R14 planned residential development. The request would also establish a
development plan for a new infill subdivision to be developed by K. Hovnanian Homes. Fifty
lots were proposed on the site, which was about 6 units to the acre. Mr. Froke said staff had
worked closely with the developer to create planned open space and an amenity package.
Mr. Froke said a neighborhood meeting,was held in April and two residents attended. The
residents were supportive of developing the property. He explained there were two access
points and all of the streets would.be public. Each of the lots would have access to the public
streets. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the applications and staff also
recommended approval of the resolution and the ordinance, subject to one stipulation.
Mayor Weiers said the applicant, Taylor Earl, of Earl, Curley& Lagarde, P.C., wished to speak.
Mr. Earl said the project had unanimous Planning Commission support, as well as support
from staff and neighbors. Infill was a top priority of the City's general plan and it would clean
up the area. In the past, there were problems developing the property because of offsite water
flowing onto the property, the triangular shape of the property, an underground power line
easement and nearby apartments. He said the proposed zoning was much better for the
community and it was a well-designed site with usable open space and premium lots that didn't
back up to anything else.
Mr. Earl said K. Hovnanian was providing a high quality product with high end features, which
appealed to millennial and empty nest buyers. He said potential sale prices were from the
mid-300's.
Councilmember Malnar said the development was in the Sahuaro District and he believed it
was a great infill project for the area. it would improve the area and he approved moving the
item forward.
Mayor Weiers opened the public hearing on Resolution No. R17-64, a Resolution amending
the General Plan, and Ordinance No. 017-33.
Mayor Weiers said there were no speaker cards.
Ms. Bower said there was a speaker card for Item 42.
Mayor Weiers said Mr. Earl already spoke and anyone else wishing to speak should turn in a
speaker card.
John Glohak, a resident of Sahuaro district, was primarily concerned about the traffic. He
asked if any effort was made to extend the dead-end street. Mr. Glohak spoke about various
traffic issues in the area, which included being unable to make left turns, improvements in
traffic signals, the inability to walk to the mall from that area and a problem with the homeless
living in a nearby tunnel.
Mayor Weiers closed the public hearing.
A motion was made by Councilmember Ray Malnar, seconded by Vice Mayor.lan Hugh to
adopt and approve Resolution No. R17-64, as presented.
Councilmember Clark said everyone probably knew how she felt about 3,500 square foot
lots as a result of the Stonehaven project. She supported the project because it made
sense. It was a small, 8-acre infill parcel, which was much different than Stonehaven.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE ENTERING INTO OF A PURCHASE AND
SALE AGREEMENT FOR THE PURCHASE AND TRANSFER OF PROPERTY WITH THE

CERTIFIED COPY OF THIS ORDINANCE BE RECORDED, AND DECLARING AN

Ms. Bower read Ordinance No. 017-41 in full.
City Council Meeting Minutes-August 8, 2017 Page 17 of 19
Mr. Friedline said the proposed ordinance authorized the City Manager to enter into a
Purchase.and Sale agreement between the City and TopGolf USA Glendale, LLC for the sale
of unimproved property located at Bethany Home Road and 99th Avenue. The City currently
owned.approximately 16.1 acres of unimproved property at the northeast corner of Bethany
Home Road and 99th Avenue in Glendale. The property was originally purchased in 2008,
and was initially intended as a location for a water treatment plant. Due to development
opportunities for the property, a replacement water treatment plan parcel was subsequently
purchased at 99th Avenue and Northern.
Mr. Friedline said the City recently received an unsolicited offer from TopGolf USA Glendale
LLC to purchase approximately 13.1 acres at the location to develop a golf entertainment
facility for approximately $10 per square foot. For comparison purposes, in October of 2015,
the City purchased two parcels within the Sports and Entertainment District, located at
Bethany Home Road and 91st Avenue and Maryland at 91st Avenue for$4.69 per square foot
and $6.94 per square foot, respectively. Although.the $10 per square foot price was less than
the original purchase price, the intent was to develop the property as a regional destination
and generate significant economic activity.
Mr. Friedline said the land sale demonstrated Glendale's commitment to positive growth and
development by maximizing the use of its assets and resources for important economic drivers
such as TopGolf. A Notice of Sale for the property had been made in a newspaper of general
circulation in the City of Glendale for two consecutive weeks and posted at Glendale City Hall
for 12 consecutive days. The City-owned parcel was located north of Bethany Home Road
along the east side of 99th Avenue. The parcel was approximately 13.1 acres with no utilities
currently running on the property. TopGolf USA Glendale, LLC had offered to purchase the
City's land for$5,713,730. The City believed it was in the best interest of the City to sell the
unimproved property. The proceeds from the sale of the land would be deposited into the
City's water and sewer enterprise fund.
A motion was made by Councilmember Joyce Clark, seconded by Councilmember Lauren
Tolmachoff to approve Ordinance No. 017-41.
Mayor Weiers said the sale showed that Glendale was growing and people were paying
more attention to Glendale. Glendale was the center of the universe right now and the
project proved it. He was very excited about it.
