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.

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.

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.
