ORDINANCE NO. 018-72 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, EXTENDING AND INCREASING THE CORPORATE LIMITS OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, STATE OF ARIZONA, PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF TITLE 9, CHAPTER 4, SECTION 9-471, ARIZONA REVISED STATUTES AND ITS AMENDMENTS, BY ANNEXING CERTAIN TERRITORY LOCATED AT 6648 NORTH SARIVAL AVENUE AND CONSISTING OF APPROXIMATELY 17 ACRES TO BE KNOWN AS City Council Meeting Minutes-October 9,2018 Page 6 of 10 ANNEXATION AREA NO. AN-203: AMENDING THE ZONING MAP; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND ORDERING THAT A CERTIFIED COPY OF THIS ORDINANCE IS RECORDED. Presented by: David Williams, AICP, Planning Administrator Ms. Rabin read the ordinance by title. Mr. Williams said the annexation was approximately 17 acres in size and was located on the west side of Sarival Avenue, one-quarter mile south of Glendale Avenue. Following the approval of the annexation ordinance, the next step was for staff to bring forward a rezoning request for Council's consideration. Staff recommended the approval of the proposed annexation ordinance. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff asked if the property was considered developed or undeveloped. Mr. Williams said it was an agricultural-zoned area, which included four homes on four parcels that were under annexation consideration. It was considered developed in a low density, rural character. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff said there was a municipal service fee assessed on a developed parcel. She asked if the annexation would be subject to a municipal service fee. Mr. Williams did not know if a fee would be assessed. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff asked if an environmental analysis was required prior to the annexation. Mr. Williams said there was a Phase I environmental assessment done on the site by the property owners and the purchaser. The assessment revealed no obvious contamination on the site. He was not aware of any direct policy that required an assessment as part of the annexation process. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff said a blank application was brought to Council for a public hearing. It was the first time Council was made aware of the annexation request and then 30 days later, an ordinance was brought to Council for a vote. Council had no opportunity to ask questions which would have been the case if there had been a workshop. Council needed to know what kind of revenues and economic development could be expected on the property. Council did not have any of that information. Vice Mayor Tolmachoff was a little bit confused as to why Council had to make a decision without having all of the information. Mr. Williams suggested the matter be continued so that specific and additional information could be provided to Council prior to considering the action. Councilmember Clark recalled that the Council-approved policy required that when a developed property was to be annexed, staff would conduct an infrastructure assessment of the property. The assessment would determine what fees were necessary to bring that property up to City standards. She asked if any staff assessment had been done on the property. Mr. Williams said the extent of the analysis was a discussion with the applicant, the land owner and the developer about the responsibility to extend roadways and other infrastructure to the site at no cost to the City. The discussions included what infrastructure was needed and who was responsible for it. Councilmember Clark was not opposed to annexations but agreed with Vice Mayor Tolmachoff that the process had not been followed. She was comfortable with continuing the matter to allow Council to receive additional information. City Council Meeting Minutes-October 9,2018 Page 7 of 10 Councilmember Turner asked if time was of the essence or was the applicant acting well in advance of the proposed development. Mr. Williams said the applicant had an overall project schedule but had built in enough time so that the annexation was not urgent. He had informed the applicant that there had been questions regarding the background of the property and that a continuance might occur. The applicant expressed no concern with a continuance of up to four weeks and planned to file a rezoning application in October. The rezoning process would take about four to six months before it came back to Council for possible approval. Councilmember Turner said Council should conduct workshops on all annexations so that it had a chance to ask questions. It would allow staff time to provide responses prior to a voting meeting. He supported a continuance. A motion was made by Councilmember Bart Turner, seconded by Councilmember Jamie Aldama to continue Ordinance 018-72 to the voting meeting on November 13, 2018 for the purpose of holding a workshop prior to the voting meeting.

Presented by: David Williams, AICP, Planning Administrator Ms. Rabin read the ordinance and resolution by title. Mr. Williams said the proposed project, Positano, was located at 8450 West Glendale Avenue and comprised approximately 12.7 acres. The site was currently zoned A-1 (Agricultural) and had been used for agricultural production. Mr. Williams said the proposed General Plan designation Medium Density Residential (MDR), 3.5—5.0 dwelling units per acre and the proposed zoning, R1-6 and R1-7 Planned Residential Development (PRD), was appropriate for the site. It would allow the property to be developed to City Council Meeting Minutes-October 9,2018 Page 8 of 10 the highest and best use. The proposed 56-lot residential infill development had access to a major arterial roadway, West Glendale Avenue. It would develop an otherwise undevelopable site while offering more housing products to the Glendale consumer. Mr. Williams said staff recommended approval of the General Plan Amendment as requested and approval of the rezoning application subject to the stipulation that development shall be in substantial conformance with the project narrative and site plan date stamped August 16, 2018.

MYAC students were required to attend meetings and it might be a way to expose the students to what Council was doing.
