PUBLIC HEARING - LAND DEVELOPMENT ACTIONS
28. ORDINANCE NO. 018-74
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, REZONING PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7111 NORTH 83RD AVENUE FROM R1-6
(SINGLE RESIDENCE) AND R-4 (MULTIPLE RESIDENCE) EXISTING ZONING TO R1-4 PRD
(SINGLE RESIDENCE WITH A PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY) FOR A
DEVELOPMENT PLAN ENTITLED "JAAFAR ESTATES," AMENDING THE ZONING MAP;
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND ORDERING THAT A CERTIFIED COPY OF
THIS ORDINANCE IS RECORDED.
RESOLUTION NO. R18-161
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 GPA17-07 FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT
7111 NORTH 83RD AVENUE.
Presented by: David Williams, AICP, Planning Administrator
Ms. Bower read the ordinance and resolution by title.
Mr. Williams said the request was for both a minor general plan amendment and a public
hearing for rezoning of the property which was located at 7111 North 83rd Avenue. The
proposed zoning change would be from single and multi -family residence to single-family
residence with a planned residential development (PRD) overlay which proposed 23
City Council Meeting Minutes - October 23, 2018 Page 8 of 19
single-family lots.
Mr. Williams said if approved, the proposal would develop an under-utilized infill site which was
currently vacant and provide new housing options for residents. On September 6, 2018, the
Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning request subject to the stipulation
that the development be in substantial conformance with the applicant's development booklet
date-stamped July 16, 2018.
Mayor Weiers opened the public hearing.
Howard Cornell, representative for Jaafar Estates, said the development conformed to the
preliminary plat that had been approved.
Councilmember Clark asked if the property was purchased by the present owner in 2016 and if
the property owner's intent was to buy the property and then file for a general plan amendment.
Mr. Cornell said that was correct.
Councilmember Clark asked if the property owner had a home builder who was interested in
developing the subdivision.
Mr. Cornell said the property owner intended to develop the property himself.
Mayor Weiers closed the public hearing.
A motion was made by Councilmember Ray Malnar, seconded by Vice Mayor Lauren
Tolmachoff to adopt Resolution No. R18-161.
Councilmember Clark said the amendment offered 23 lots on less that six acres with four
houses per acre. It was not compatible with the existing properties to the south. The two
closest subdivision properties were far larger than what the applicant was proposing. If
approved, it would send a very strong signal to future development to the north to propose
small lots that were incompatible with the area.
Councilmember Clark said the property owner had purchased the property with the intention
of asking for a general plan amendment to make the property profitable. That was not the
way things were supposed to work and it was not the City's job to make the property owner
whole. The property owner took a risk and there was nothing that said the City had to grant
him an exception to the General Plan zoning that would set the standard for everything on the
east side of 83rd Avenue. She asked Council to deny the request.
Mayor Weiers asked for clarification regarding if the proposal was similar to existing
subdivisions.
Mr. Williams said it was similar and was basically two more homes on the property to get it to
3.5.
Councilmember Clark said the proposal was for 3.5 medium density residential. The existing
subdivisions were R-17 not PRD. She asked if the lots to the south were 7,000 square feet.
Mr. Williams said that was correct.
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff said lot size was not the only factor in property value and asked if
there was any information on the type of product.
City Council Meeting Minutes - October 23, 2018 Page 9 of 19
Mr. Williams said there was no information yet on what type of product it would be or the size
and design of the homes.
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff said Council still had the opportunity to assure that it would be a nice
product which would be comparable in amenities and size to the existing homes.
Councilmember Clark said Council had no information on the product and the size of the
homes. Council did not have enough information to vote and could only vote on the facts that
had been presented.
Mr. Cornell said the architects would be designing the models for the site and the information
of the square footage was not available. He said it was a down zone to go to the R1-4 PRD.
Councilmember Aldama asked if the proposed development had been contentious in
Councilmember Clark's district.
Councilmember Clark said concerns were expressed at the neighborhood meeting.
Residents were very concerned about the lot size and what type of product would be offered.
Mr. Cornell said the plan was reviewed with the Glen Eden representative. Time was
allotted for a response regarding concerns with the plan. No response was received.
Mayor Weiers said Council could either take a vote on the motion or table the matter so that
more information could be provided.
Councilmember Turner asked if it was a down zoning and if it would be developed less
densely than the current zoning allowed.
Councilmember Clark said it was a down zone. The question was how it fit in with existing
development in terms of lot sizes and house products. The whole idea along the 83rd
Avenue corridor was to preserve it as much as possible for large lot development.
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff asked if it was possible to add a few stipulations that would satisfy
Councilmember Clark and the rest of Council such as gating the community and a
commitment to a specific product size that would not lower the property value of the nearby
homes.
Mr. Cornell said the owner had informed him that the home size would be approximately
1,800 to 2,000 square feet. The proposed street met City standards. If the community was
gated, it would have been with a smaller street which would have made the lots a little larger.
Councilmember Aldama asked Councilmember Clark if her concern was more about
devaluing the homes around the project or if it was a desire not to have smaller homes in that
community.
Councilmember Clark said there had been a general desire and commitment to try to
preserve the area for large lot development. The project did not fit with what had occurred in
terms of development along 83rd Avenue.
Councilmember Aldama asked if there was a policy not allowing homes that were smaller
than 1,800 square feet in R4 zoning or that did not allow smaller lots.
Mr. Williams said there was no policy.
The vote on the motion was:

Vice Mayor Tolmachoff said while she understood Councilmember Clark's concerns, she did
not believe that lot size devalued the neighborhood.
Mayor Weiers encouraged the property owner to work with Councilmember Clark to find
something that would work for both of them in the area.
A motion was made by Councilmember Ray Malnar, seconded by Vice Mayor Lauren
Tolmachoff to adopt Ordinance No. 018-74.

29. ORDINANCE NO. 018-75
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, REZONING PROPERTY LOCATED EAST OF THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF
81ST DRIVE AND CAMELBACK ROAD FROM EXISTING ZONING SR -17 (SUBURBAN
RESIDENTIAL) TO R1-8 (SINGLE RESIDENCE, PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT)
FOR A DEVELOPMENT PLAN ENTITLED "EL PRADO II," AND REZONING A PORTION OF
THE ADJACENT DEVELOPMENT PLAN ENTITLED "EL PRADO" FROM EXISTING ZONING

RESOLUTION NO. R18-162
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 GPA18-06 FOR PROPERTY LOCATED
EAST OF THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF 81ST DRIVE AND CAMELBACK ROAD.
City Council Meeting Minutes - October 23, 2018 Page 11 of 19
Presented by: David Williams, AICP, Planning Administrator
Ms. Bower read the ordinance and resolution by title.
Mr. Williams said the project, "EI Prado II", was located east of the northeast corner of 81st Drive
and Camelback Road. He said the request was to amend the General Plan from LDR 2.5 (Low
Density Residential) maximum units per acre to MDR 3.5 (Medium Density Residential)
residents per acre. Because the proposal would offer the transition buffer of R1-8 zoning
between the R1-6 zoning to the east and SR -17 zoning to the west, the buffer of R1-8 within EI
Prado was no longer needed.
Mr. Williams said the Planning Commission voted to unanimously recommend approval at its
public hearing on September 6, 2018.
Mayor Weiers said the project would cut down on the foot traffic through the field, diminish the
drug activity, assist with the irrigation situation and the wall would create a barrier between the
homeowners that had the larger lots. Once the homes were built, a lot of the dust problems
would subside. He asked Council to approve the request because it was a good plan and would
improve the neighborhood.
Councilmember Clark thanked the developer for being willing to go to a larger lot size that
provided a buffer between R1-6 and the larger lots.
Mayor Weiers opened the public hearing.
Warren Wilfong, Ocotillo District resident, said with regard to daily traffic on 83rd Avenue and
Camelback Road, he asked Council to address the stipulation to get the access lane into the
property because 79th was only two blocks away and did not have an access into the
neighborhood.
Councilmember Aldama asked if there was a deceleration lane going into the property based on
the peak hour traffic possibly exceeding 40 cars per hour.
Mayor Weiers wanted to clarify that traffic did exceed 40 cars per hour.
Mr. Williams said the stipulation referred to providing a right turn lane and it could be a
deceleration lane.
David Maguire, property owner, said a traffic study had been conducted to determine whether a
deceleration lane would be required at the location. The traffic engineer presented a report to
the City's traffic engineer, who agreed that the volume of the turning movements from
Camelback Road into the subdivision would not warrant a deceleration lane.
Councilmember Aldama asked when the data was collected.
Mr. Maguire said the traffic engineer used the traffic counts the City provided as well as doing his
own traffic counts but did not know when the data was collected.
Mayor Weiers asked how many homes were being built and if it was correct that there was also
an outlet with a traffic light onto 79th.
Mr. Maguire said that was correct. It provided another access point mainly for emergency
services, improving both pedestrian and automobile circulation.
Mayor Weiers said one of the very first things that needed to be finished was what was currently
City Council Meeting Minutes - October 23, 2018 Page 12 of 19
known as Bethany Home Road. It would eliminate a lot of traffic.
Councilmember Turner did not see the need for the stipulation.
Councilmember Clark did not think the deceleration lane was needed but the right turn lane was
needed or the residents would not be able to get into the subdivision.
Mayor Weiers closed the public hearing.
A motion was made by Councilmember Joyce Clark, seconded by Vice Mayor Lauren
Tolmachoff to adopt Resolution No. R18-162.

PUBLIC HEARING - ORDINANCES
30. ORDINANCE NO. 018-76
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, AMENDING CITY CODE CHAPTER 18- GARBAGE AND TRASH.
Presented by: Michelle Woytenko, Director, Field Operations
Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title.
Ms. Woytenko said the proposed ordinance would provide residents who utilized solid waste
services with a once -per -month alternative or additive to bulk trash services. The language
regarding the once -per -month restriction had been inadvertently removed previously.
Ms. Woytenko said Council authorized several position reclassifications, including reclassifying
the Public Works Director to Assistant City Manager, which left the administrator of Chapter 18
unassigned. The revision clarified the residency verification and fee waiver policy at the landfill
as well as changed the administrator to the City Manager. It also replaced the term "sanitation"
City Council Meeting Minutes - October 23, 2018 Page 13 of 19
with the term "solid waste" throughout the chapter.
Ms. Woytenko said the Business Council Committee reviewed the proposed changes at its
September 20, 2018 meeting and recommended the changes be presented to Council. At its
meeting on September 5, 2018, the Citizens Utility Advisory Commission reviewed the proposed
changes and also recommended the changes be presented to City Council.
Mayor Weiers opened the public hearing.
No one wished to speak.

31. ORDINANCE NO. 018-77
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, AMENDING GLENDALE CITY CODE, CHAPTER 25, ARTICLE VIII, SECTION
25-90 ENTITLED CAMPING PROHIBITED; EXCEPTIONS, BY ADDING A NEW SUBSECTION
NUMBERED AS (b)(4).
Presented by: Chris LeVander, Assistant Police Chief
Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title.
Assistant Police Chief LeVander said the proposed ordinance would add a new subsection,
(b)(4), which would have the effect of adding an additional exception to make the Code
consistent with current case law. Subsection (b) listed activities that were not punishable under
the section: 1) camping on own property; 2) camping authorized by permit; and 3) tailgating.
The Police Department did not enforce against homeless individuals when an alternative shelter
was not available. The proposed new subsection, (b)(4), stated, "No criminal sanction shall be
imposed against individuals sleeping outdoors on public property when no alternative shelter
was available to them."
Assistant Police Chief LeVander said enforcement had been consistent with the current Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals decision, Martin v. Boise, but in order to stay in compliance and to make
the ordinance lawful on its face, staff was recommending Council adopt the proposed ordinance.
Councilmember Clark asked if the changed watered down the Code a little bit.
Assistant Police Chief LeVander said that was correct.
City Council Meeting Minutes - October 23, 2018 Page 14 of 19
Councilmember Clark asked if there were civil penalties.
Assistant Police Chief LeVander said all of the City Code involved misdemeanors that were
criminal in nature. He did not believe there were any civil penalties.
Councilmember Clark asked if it would be possible to institute some civil penalties.
Assistant Police Chief LeVander said it could be discussed.
Councilmember Malnar asked if a property owner with a large lot gave permission to camp to
someone that was not a family member, would it be allowed.
Assistant Police Chief LeVander said it would be allowed.
Mayor Weiers asked what was the definition of "camping."
Assistant Police Chief LeVander explained if it was 2:00 a.m. and an individual had bedding,
pots and pans, etc., then urban camping would come into play and if it occurred on private
property, officers had the option to issue a trespass warning. First and foremost was to try and
get assistance to the individuals who needed it.
Mayor Weiers asked if it would take care of a situation such as someone setting up camp at a
bus stop shelter.
Assistant Police Chief LeVander believed it would.
Vice Mayor Tolmachoff asked if the individual did not accept a ride to a shelter, then would
enforcement take place.
Assistant Police Chief LeVander said if the individual refused to move, officers could take
enforcement action. The department did not run into such situations very often.
A motion was made by Councilmember Jamie Aldama, seconded by Councilmember Joyce
Clark to adopt Ordinance No. 018-77.

Ms. Rios said the proposed ordinance updated the City's signature authority for banking
transactions. It also appointed Christopher J. Anaradian, Assistant City Manager, as
Superintendent of Streets which was required because there were certain places in the Code
and the City Charter with duties that need to be assigned to a Superintendent of Streets.
A motion was made by Councilmember Bart Turner, seconded by Councilmember Joyce
Clark to adopt Ordinance No. 018-78.

NEW BUSINESS
33. AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH TRAVERSE BAY PROPERTIES
LLC, AND EXCEED BUDGET APPROPRIATION IN FISCAL YEAR 2018-19 UNTIL A CASH
AND BUDGET APPROPRIATION TRANSFER CAN BE REQUESTED
Presented by: Kevin R. Phelps, City Manager
Michael D. Bailey, City Attorney
Ms. Bower read the item by title.
Mr. Phelps said the authorization would provide the necessary funds to complete a negotiated
agreement between John Lund doing business as Traverse Bay Properties LLC and the City on
a development agreement that was originally formed in 2004. The agreement would allow the
City to eliminate approximately $400,000 annually in carrying costs by eliminating a debt that
carried a 6% interest charge. It also allowed new sales tax being collected at the Arrowhead
Cadillac site to start being plugged into the General Fund for future allocation.
A motion was made by Councilmember Ian Hugh, seconded by Vice Mayor Lauren
Tolmachoff to approve Item 33.
