A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, AMENDING THE GENERAL PLAN MAP OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, ARIZONA,

THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF 67TH AVENUE AND ALICE AVENUE.
Presented by: David Williams, AICP, Planning Administrator
City Council Meeting Minutes - December 11, 2018 Page 4 of 11
Ms. Bower read the ordinance and resolution by title.
Mr. Williams said the General Plan Amendment request was to change the category from High
Density Residential 12-20 du/ac 9 (HDR 20) to High Density Residential 20-30 du/ac (HDR 30)
which allowed up to 30 dwellings per acre. The site was approximately 7.5 acres and was
located west of 67th Avenue at the Alice Avenue intersection.
Mr. Williams said the applicant was requesting the removal of the Senior Citizen Overlay District
due to a change in market demands. The area included a mix of uses including single-family,
institutional and multi -family.
Mr. Williams said a neighborhood meeting was held on June 27, 2018 at the Glendale Adult
Center. The primary concerns were traffic and privacy. The applicant addressed the issues with
a line -of -sight study. The request was consistent with the General Plan goal of promoting public
health, safety and welfare by allowing for housing development and utilizing an infill site. There
were also adequate school facilities. It would also benefit the community by developing an infill
site and contributed to a variety of housing types in the community.
Mr. Williams said the Planning Commission reviewed and unanimously recommended approval
at its public hearing on November 5, 2018. If the request was approved, the rezoning should be
subject to the stipulations found in the ordinance.
Mayor Weiers opened the public hearing.
Bart Shea, Shea Connelly Development, addressed updates with the Morning Star development.
Mayor Weiers closed the public hearing.
A motion was made by Councilmember Bart Turner, seconded by Vice Mayor Lauren

12. ORDINANCE NO. 018-85
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, ARIZONA,
BY APPROVING ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT ZTA18-03 FOR THE SONORITA COMMUNITY
OVERLAY DISTRICT AND AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE AS FOLLOWS: ARTICLE
6 (OVERLAY DISTRICT REGULATIONS) AND ARTICLE 7 (GENERAL DEVELOPMENT
STANDARDS); PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, SETTING FORTH AN EFFECTIVE DATE;
AND ORDERING THAT A CERTIFIED COPY OF THE ORDINANCE BE RECORDED.
Presented by: David Williams, AICP, Planning Administrator
Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title.
Mr. Williams said if adopted, the Overlay District would cover the entire area zoned M-1. The
Overlay District would allow existing single-family homes to shed the non -conforming status and
allow future expansion of existing homes, such as a room addition. New home construction on
vacant lots would not be permitted and the Zoning Text Amendment would only be applied to
properties zoned M-1 within Sonorita and it applied only to existing homes.
Mr. Williams said at its public hearing on November 5, 2018, the Planning Commission
recommended approval of the adoption of the Sonorita Community Overlay District.
Councilmember Clark asked if a property owner would still be able to sell the property for
commercial development.
Mr. Williams said the zoning remained with the property and it could be sold and continued as a
residence or with the M-1 zoning.
Mayor Weiers opened the public hearing.
No one wished to address Council.
Mayor Weiers closed the public hearing.
A motion was made by Councilmember Jamie Aldama, seconded by Councilmember Ian
Hugh to adopt Ordinance No. 018-85.
Councilmember Turner recognized the effort that Councilmember Aldama had put into the
issue for the past four years. When the area was rezoned M-1, it was very detrimental to the
residents. The overlay was not detrimental to the rest of the City and provided the relief that
the residents needed.

PROTECTION), ARTICLE II (TECHNICAL STANDARDS) AND ARTICLE III (SPRINKLER
SYSTEMS); AND SETTING FORTH AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (Updated 12/5/2018)
Presented by: Chuck Jenkins, Fire Marshal
Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title.
Mr. Jenkins said the proposed ordinance would adopt the 2018 International Fire Code. The
City was currently using the 2009 International Fire Code. Staff recommended adoption of the
updated codes which reflected safer code practices and newer technology. It would also
maintain the City's good standing with the property insurance rating industry.

14. ORDINANCE NO. 018-87
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF LAND FOR THE WATER SERVICES
DEPARTMENT ARROWHEAD WELL #21 LOCATED AT 19805 NORTH 67TH DRIVE FROM
INAYATH U. SHARIEFF, KAISER V. SHARIEFF AND SAMEEN S. SHARIEFF AND
DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTS FOR THE
PURCHASE AND DIRECTING THE CITY CLERK TO RECORD A CERTIFIED COPY OF
THE ORDINANCE.
Presented by: David D. Beard, P.E., City Engineer
Ms. Bower read the item by title.
Mr. Beard said the proposed ordinance would authorize the City Manager to enter into a
Residential Resale Real Estate Purchase Contract with Inayath U. Sharieff, Kaiser V. Sharieff
and Sameen S. Sharieff, for the acquisition of an 8,777 square foot lot that included a 1,797
square foot single-family residence. The property was located at 19805 North 67th Avenue.
The purchase amount was $309,000, $289,000 for acquisition and $20,000 for closing and
escrow charges. The purchase would accommodate the relocation of Arrowhead Well #21
(AR -21).
Mr. Beard said AR -21 was built in 1958 to provide water for agricultural activities in the area and
City Council Meeting Minutes - December 11, 2018 Page 7 of 11
was currently used exclusively for lakes and turf irrigation.
Mr. Beard said due to the condition of the well, Water Services recommended replacement. The
new well would be designed and constructed in a manner that allowed its use for drinking water.
Replacement wells must be drilled within 660 feet of the original well. The replacement well
would provide needed potable water in the City's upper water zones, Zones 2 and 3 and would
serve as an emergency/back-up source of water for the City's Colorado River water supply.
A motion was made by Councilmember Ray Malnar, seconded by Councilmember Joyce
Clark to adopt Ordinance No. 018-87.

Presented by: Tom Duensing, Assistant City Manager
Ms. Bower read the resolution by title.
Mr. Duensing said the proposed resolution authorized the disposition and sale of approximately
44.66 acres of property located at 5450 West Northern Avenue, Glendale, referred to as the
Glen Lakes Golf Course. At its workshop on November 27th, Council gave direction to staff to
proceed with the disposition of the property, following a temporary 90 -day period of operation.
Councilmember Turner said there might be interested parties who would purchase the property
and continue its use as a golf course. He asked if the City intended to abate the hazards at least
to the degree that a prospective buyer could move forward.
Stephen Dudley, Building Safety Official, said it did not violate the notice that had been issued on
the buildings if a prospective buyer brought wanted to evaluate the buildings for rehab and could
enter the buildings for that purpose.

NEW BUSINESS
16. FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE SRK DEVELOPMENT PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
Presented by: Michael D. Bailey, City Attorney
Ms. Bower read the item by title.
Mr. Bailey said the City had sold property to SRK Development for the intended purpose of
building a hotel. Due to the timeline for construction, at no fault of either party, an amendment
was necessary. The amendment included two changes. It required the purchaser to close on
the property by January 1, 2019 and the clawback had been increased to 18 months. Once SRK
closed, it had 18 months to substantially complete the parcel of property for the intended use. If
it did not, the City had the right to purchase the property back. The property was the remnant
parcel which was adjacent to the Topgolf property.
A motion was made by Councilmember Joyce Clark, seconded by Councilmember Ian
Hugh to approve item 16.
