PUBLIC HEARING - LAND DEVELOPMENT ACTIONS
60. ORDINANCE NO. 019-59
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, REZONING PROPERTY LOCATED WEST OF THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF
57TH AVENE AND BELL ROAD (5795 WEST BELL ROAD) FROM PAD (PLANNED AREA
DEVELOPMENT) EXISTING ZONING TO PAD FOR A DEVELOPMENT PLAN ENTITLED
"TALAVI DRIVE THRU PAD," AMENDING THE ZONING MAP; PROVIDING FOR 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 the applicant was requesting to amend the existing Talavi PAD to allow for an
additional drive-thru that would apply only to the 0.9 acre along Bell Road. The current
permitted drive-thru was utilized by Taco Bell, located approximately 300' east of the subject
property. Per the amendment request, the PAD would allow, by right, one (1) additional
drive-thru use within the PAD. Other standards in the PAD remained in effect including
permitted uses, setbacks, and design standards.
Mr. Williams said the size of the existing building was 5,226 square feet and the addition of the
drive-thru would increase the size to 6,500 square feet. The rezoning was consistent with the
General Plan and the proposal would not significantly alter the character of the existing
commercial area.
Mr. Williams said the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on May 16, 2019. No
members of the public spoke in support or opposition of the request. The Planning Commission
unanimously recommended approval of the proposal with the following stipulations:
• Development shall be in substantial conformance with the development plan and narrative
for ZON 19-04
•A design review shall be required
Mayor Weiers opened the public hearing.
No one wished to speak.
Mayor Weiers closed the public hearing.
A motion was made by Councilmember Ray Malnar, seconded by Vice Mayor Joyce Clark to

61. ORDINANCE NO. 019-60
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE. MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, REZONING PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7407 NORTH NEW RIVER ROAD FROM
A-1 (AGRICULTURAL) TO M-1 (LIGHT INDUSTRIAL), AMENDING THE ZONING MAP;
PROVIDING FOR 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 the request was to approve a zone change from A-1 (Agricultural) to M-1 (light
Industrial) for a %-acre parcel located at 7407 North New River Road in the Glen Harbor
Business Park. The action would remedy an error in the legal description for a prior rezoning
case. It was the intent of the applicant to also rezone the wellsite at that time, but the legal
description inadvertently excluded the wellsite property. There was no further development
proposal included as part of this request.
Mr. Williams said the applicant mailed notification letters to adjacent property owners and
interested parties. Neither the applicant or the Planning Department received any response
regarding the request. The proposal was consistent with the General Plan and was compatible
with other existing/planned development.
Mr. Williams said the Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the request at its
meeting on June 6, 2019.
Mayor Weiers opened the public hearing.
No one wished to speak.

BY APPROVING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT GPA18-11 FOR PROPERTY LOCATED
NEAR THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF WEST OLIVE AVENUE AND NORTH 53RD AVENUE
(8851 N. 53rd AVENUE).
ORDINANCE NO. 019-61
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE. MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, REZONING PROPERTY LOCATED NEAR THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF WEST
OLIVE AVENUE AND NORTH 53RD AVENUE (8851 NORTH 53RD AVENUE) FROM C-2
(GENERAL COMMERCIAL) TO R-2 (MIXED RESIDENCE), AMENDING THE ZONING MAP;
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND ORDERING THAT A CERTIFIED COPY OF
THE ORDINANCE BE RECORDED.
Presented by: Eric Fitzer, Development Services Director
Ms. Bower read the resolution and ordinance by title.
Mr. Fitzer said the proposed project site was approximately 17.4 acres in size and had been
vacant for many years as a commercial site. As a result of not being able to acquire an anchor
for the large site, the applicant had proposed an amendment to change the general plan land
use designation and rezone the project site from commercial to a residential use to allow a
bungalow-type residential development.
Mr. Fitzer said the property was rezoned to C-2 in 1999 and was part of a larger parcel to the
east and north. The original proposal for the site was a Super Wal-Mart and ancillary shops but
the project was not developed and the site had remained vacant.
Mr. Fitzer said the proposed project would include a 208-unit gated complex that would mimic
single-family homes and would blend with the surrounding neighborhood. Properties to the
south and west were zoned R1-6 (Urban Residential) and properties to the north and east
zoned C-2 (General Commercial). The density of the proposed project was 12.0 dwelling units
per acre. The complex would consist of a mix of one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and
three-bedroom rental casitas designed as one-story buildings.
Mr. Fitzer said the project complied with all R-2 standards. Two neighborhood meetings were
held and concerns included traffic, property values, landscaping. access and parking on public
streets. The proposed General Plan designation was an appropriate transition from adjacent
commercial to nearby medium-density residential areas. The Planning Commission voted to
recommend denial based on perceived traffic impacts at its meeting on June 6, 2019.
Mr. Fitzer said, as a result. the applicant had worked with the adjacent property owner to gain
access to the north to Olive Avenue and proposed to eliminate access to 53rd Avenue. The
applicant was working with staff to limit access on to Barbara Avenue to left out only but
maintain emergency access in to the site. The applicant proposed adding a 7th stipulation
regarding the access.
Vice Mayor Clark asked how important the access stipulation would be to the adjacent
neighborhoods.
Mr. Fitzer said it would move the major access north to Olive Avenue and eliminated traffic into
City Council Meeting Minutes - June 25, 2019 Page 14 of 31
the adjacent neighborhoods.
Vice Mayor Clark confirmed that only emergency vehicles would be able to enter via Barbara
Avenue and that the exit onto Barbara was a left turn only to 51st Avenue.
Mr. Fitzer said that was correct.
Vice Mayor Clark said when the property was first developed over twenty years ago, a Super
Wal-Mart was proposed for the site and the neighbors had not wanted commercial traffic to go
onto 53rd Avenue or Barbara Avenue.
Mr. Fitzer said that was correct.
Vice Mayor Clark asked if the stipulations for the previous commercial development were still
binding on the City or the developer with a rezoning case that was no longer commercial.
Mr. Fitzer said there were entirely new stipulations for the new rezoning case. The applicant
had tried to adhere as much as possible to the previous stipulations and discussions.
Vice Mayor Clark said it made sense that a developer would propose single-story rental homes
for the property. It would act as a buffer between the commercial and existing residential.
Councilmember Turner said there were six proposed stipulations:
• Development shall be in substantial conformance with the development plan
•A minimum 15' landscape buffer shall be provided
•The owner shall be responsible for ensuring "No Parking" signs are erected on the north
side of Barbara Avenue and the east side of 53rd Avenue
• Existing drainage facilities must be maintained or reconfigured
• Existing basins and drainage patterns must be maintained or reconfigured
• Owner/operator of the site shall be responsible for maintenance of the landscape materials
and irrigation system
Councilmember Turner said the developer had agreed to an additional stipulation:
Owner/developer shall eliminate any access to 53rd Avenue; full access shall be through
the vacant property to the north to the existing curb cut on Olive Avenue; access to
Barbara Avenue shall restrict right-hand turns from the development on to Barbara
Avenue.
Councilmember Turner wanted to make sure that the Barbara Avenue access was exit-only. He
also offered another stipulation that the construction would be limited to single-story only.
Mayor Weiers opened the public hearing.
Stella Greazzo, Ocitllo District, spoke in opposition.
Sharon Brown, Barrel District, spoke in opposition.
Dawn Gath, Barrel District, spoke in opposition.
Al Delossa, Barrel District, was not opposed but wanted to reduce the density.
James Deibler, Phoenix Resident, spoke in opposition.

Beverly Black. Barrel District. spoke in opposition.
Gary Sherwood. Sahuaro District, spoke in Support.
Gary Hirsch, Cactus District, Planning Commission Chair, said the Commission had not
supported the application. The developer had been admonished to work with the neighborhood
to find something that made sense. He said with the proposed stipulations, the project was
appropriate for the property.
Brennan Ray, Representative for the Applicant, said it was a challenging infill site. The
developer had agreed to the additional access stipulation. The residential development would
have much less impact than a commercial development. He confirmed that the developer had
agreed to the one-story stipulation.
Vice Mayor Clark said a concern had been raised about multiple families living in one unit.
Mr. Ray said the lease would control the number of residents allowed in each unit.
Councilmember Aldama confirmed that there would be less traffic with the proposed zoning than
there would have been with the existing zoning.
Mr. Ray said that was correct. A traffic study had identified that the proposed development
would generate 1,400 average daily trips. A commercial development would generate 7,100
average daily trips.
Mayor Weiers closed the public hearing.
A motion was made by Councilmember Ian Hugh. seconded by Vice Mayor Joyce Clark to
adopt Resolution No. R19-77.
Vice Mayor Clark said her vote for the project was not intended to send a message to Yucca
District residents that she would approve any proposed project at 75th Avenue and Bethany
Home Road.
Councilmember Aldama was not initially happy about the traffic issues when the project was
first proposed. The developer had made changes based on the neighborhood's comments.
He still had concerns about traffic on Olive and Barbara Avenues.
Councilmember Tolmachoff said the worst thing for a neighborhood was a vacant parcel.
The proposal had the least impact on the existing neighborhood and the traffic impact would

A motion was made by Councilmember Ian Hugh, seconded by Councilmember Lauren
Tolmachoff to adopt Ordinance No. 019-61 with the stipulations.
Councilmember Turner said the motion included the seven stipulations which included the
Barbara Avenue access and one-story buildings. He thanked the developer for expanding
the notification area and responding to the residents' concerns. He also thanked the
residents for staying involved in the process and voicing their concerns. The traffic from the
proposed development would be a fraction of the traffic generated by a commercial
development. All things considered, it was a win-win.
Mayor Weiers said the applicant had been engaged and tried to address the residents'
concerns. He said the population in the state kept increasing and traffic was going to get
worse even if the property did not develop. The police department would enforce the "no
parking" signs.

between Glendale Avenue and Bethany Home Road. It was currently farm land that was
planned for industrial and commercial development. The property was designated Regional
Mixed Use and Luke Compatible Land Use (LCLU) by the City's General Plan. The property
was zoned RU-43 (Rural Residential) in Maricopa County. A rezoning application for Planned
Area Development (PAD) was under staff review.
Mr. Williams said a fiscal impact analysis was completed and there would be a short and longer
term positive fiscal impact. The road improvements would be privately-funded and there were
no existing buildings or structures on the property. It was subject to the EPCOR Pre-annexation
Development Agreement. It was consistent with the City's Annexation Policy.

PUBLIC HEARING - ORDINANCES
64. ORDINANCE NO. 019-62
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 ZTA19-04 FOR BUFFERING MEDICAL
MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES FROM MORE USES AN AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING
ORDINANCE AS FOLLOWS: 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 the Zoning Text Amendment would expand the types of uses that dispensaries
would be separated from. The new requirements would require buffering from various types of
schools or similar facilities where children may be enrolled. Dispensaries would also be
required to be separated from child care centers. libraries, public parks, and residential
substance abuse treatment facilities, sober living homes, or other drug or alcohol rehabilitation
facilities. Any expansion of an existing dispensary would be required to conform with these
requirements.
Mr. Williams said three public meetings were held and were attended by one citizen. The
proposed ordinance would require separation of dispensaries by 1,320 feet from elementary,
secondary or high schools. It also expanded the definition of schools to include specialty
schools such as fine arts or dance studios where minors congregated. It also added a buffer for
child care facilities, libraries, public parks and drug or alcohol rehabilitation facilities.
Mr. Williams said the Planning Commission unanimously recommended adoption at its meeting
on June 11, 2019.
Councilmember Tolmachoff could not find "dance studios" in the ordinance. She asked if there
were existing dispensaries inside the buffer.
Mr. Williams said the proposed ordinance would not apply to existing dispensaries. It would only
apply to new dispensaries. Fine Arts included dance.
Councilmember Tolmachoff clarified that it would apply only to dance studios with minors.
Mayor Weiers asked if it applied to public or private dance studios.
Mr. Williams said the intent was where minors congregated. Section H of the proposed
ordinance read: "Shall not be located within 1.320 feet of a public. private, parochial. charter,
fine arts, or similar school or educational facility where minors are enrolled."
Mayor Weiers asked about karate studios where children were receiving instruction.
City Council Meeting Minutes - June 25. 2019 Page 18 of 31
Mr. Williams said it would be included.
Vice Mayor Clark suggested adding where minors learned in addition to congregate.
Mr. Williams said public and private were included and was qualified by an educational facility.
Councilmember Tolmachoff said some businesses provided day care services, such as gyms.
She asked how that would be addressed.
Mr. Williams said it would be through the City's business license database. If the gym had a
license for day care. the ordinance would apply.
Councilmember Tolmachoff wanted to make sure there were no unintended consequences.
Councilmember Malnar said the intent was to redefine what a school was so that a dispensary
would not be located within a certain distance of a school. It would now include preschools.
Councilmember Tolmachoff had a hard time thinking of a karate or dance studio as a school.
Dispensaries were a legal business in the state. The proposed language in the ordinance could
be loosely interpreted to be applied to any business where a child might congregate.
Mayor Weiers was concerned that the ordinance overreached and asked Council to table the
ordinance until there were more clear definitions for schools. He believed recreational
marijuana would be approved and he did not want the City to miss out on tax revenue.
Vice Mayor Clark said the City had to permit the sale of marijuana but had no obligation to
promote the use of marijuana. She did not want to make it easier to obtain marijuana.
Councilmember Malnar thought Council had requested that the matter be brought back to a
workshop to discuss the definition of school.
Councilmember Aldama said the Cerreta Candy Company had educational tours for children.
He was not clear if the proposed definition would apply to the tours. He supported tabling it so
that it could be brought to a workshop for discussion.
Councilmember Tolmachoff supported tabling it for a workshop discussion.
Councilmember Hugh was ready to vote but was comfortable with tabling it.
Councilmember Turner supported tabling it for a workshop discussion.
A motion was made by Councilmember Bart Turner. seconded by Councilmember Lauren
Tolmachoff to table Ordinance No. 19-62.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE. MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, ADOPTING THE LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS AND INFRASTRUCTURE
IMPROVEMENT PLAN RELATED TO THE FUTURE ADOPTION OF DEVELOPMENT
IMPACT FEES.
Presented by: Chris Anaradian, Assistant City Manager
Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title.
Mr. Anaradian said the proposed ordinance would formally adopt the Infrastructure
Improvement Plan (IIP) and the Land Use Assumptions (LUA) that would provide the basis for
calculating and then adopting fees to ensure that growth paid its proportional fair share for the
impacts to City services and infrastructure.
Mr. Anaradian said the cost calculations for soccer and football fields in the growth areas had
been amended based on recently-received public comments. Council had received the
amended plan that reflected the changes for soccer and football fields.
Vice Mayor Clark asked if the table on page 21. was illustrative only. She asked what the rules
were for the 30-acre parameter and when impact fees could be used.
Jim Burke, Public Facilities, Recreation and Special Events Director, said the table provided
examples of the kinds of projects that could be funded with impact fees. He said when the State
Legislature amended the impact fees in 2010. it placed limits on what could be funded by impact
fees. A 30-acre limitation was placed on park size. He said some amenities were also
restricted.
Vice Mayor Clark asked if fees collected prior to 2010 were subject to the stipulations.
Ms. Rios said the fees collected prior to 2010 were subject to the laws in place at the time of
collection. She said the fees collected prior to 2010 had to be spent by January 2020. The City
did not have a large balance of pre-2010 fees left to be spent.

required for the Holiday Inn development required only 75 feet of right-of-way so there was no
need for the 15-foot strip of right-of-way. The abandonment would allow the 15-foot strip to be
utilized in the Holiday Inn development.

Councilmember Tolmachoff asked how many years, prior to the current rate increases. had
there been without a rate increase.
Ms. Rios said there had been ten years without a rate increase.
A motion was made by Councilmember Bart Turner. seconded by Councilmember Lauren
Tolmachoff to adopt Resolution No. R19-78.
Vice Mayor Clark understood the need for the rate increase. The City had committed to
remedial, redundant capital improvements to catch up and repair the water system. Seniors
were on a fixed income. She asked Council to explore a methodology that would provide
relief to the senior population.
Councilmember Malnar supported a rate structure that would provide relief to seniors.
There was an account to provide assistance to all residents that needed relief based on
income.
Councilmember Hugh said the rate increase averaged out to less than $40 per year.
Councilmember Tolmachoff said no one liked to implement rate increases. Council had a
responsibility to provide safe, clean water. There were some places in the City where there
City Council Meeting Minutes - June 25. 2019 Page 25 of 31
was no redundancy. The water and sewer were enterprise funds and were supposed to be
self-sustaining.
Councilmember Turner said if residents were facing financial stress, the City did have a
utility assistance program as did other utilities. He said if a rate break was given to one
group of residents, another group would have to make up for it. It should be needs-based
not age-based.

Ms. Rios said the proposed resolution adjusted urban irrigation rates, effective for bills issued

Carl Dietzman, Ocotillo District. was opposed to the rate increase. He said the City had agreed
to maintain and repair the system. The rates should not be raised to repair the system.
Mayor Weiers closed the public hearing.
A motion was made by Councilmember Ray Malnar, seconded by Councilmember Jamie
Aldama to adopt Resolution R19-79.
Councilmember Aldama said most of the irrigation was in his district. He wanted to make

everyone on the street was assessed for the repairs. Salt River did not pay for the repairs.

NEW BUSINESS
74. RESOLUTION NO. R19-80
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE. MARICOPA COUNTY.
ARIZONA, ESTABLISHING A COUNCIL COMPENSATION COMMISSION.
Presented by: Michael D. Bailey. City Attorney
Ms. Bower read the resolution by title.
Mr. Bailey provided a floor amendment for the resolution. The resolution would create the
Council Compensation Commission; appoint the members: and charge the commission. The
floor amendment was based on the discussion at the previous workshop. Mr. Bailey read the
resolution into the record.
Councilmember Aldama said the discussion at the workshop had been to inform the commission
of the election dates but the resolution indicated the commission had to act no lager than July
12th.
Mayor Weiers said the resolution required that if the commission did not act by July 12th, it
moved to the next election.
Mr. Bailey said the resolution provided the date by which the commission must act to meet the
November 4th ballot. The discussion at the workshop had been to include the deadlines for the
different elections.
Councilmember Turner said the floor amendment should have been distributed at the beginning
of the meeting so that Council had a chance to review it. He would be requesting a Council item
of special interest regarding procedures for providing motions to the entire Council in a timely
City Council Meeting Minutes - June 25, 2019 Page 27 of 31
fashion.
Councilmember Turner said the resolution read like a directive to the commission. He
suggested `shall" be changed to "may" and that "cannot" be changed to "does not It should be
permissive rather than directive.
Councilmember Tolmachoff suggested wording it, "in the event the commission is able to
provide a submission to Council by July 12th then it would be able to be considered for the
November 4th election." The other sections had the wording '`in the event." It could be
confusing the way it was currently worded. The idea was that Council was not going to give a
directive but instead provide a sequence of events.
Vice Mayor Clark said the resolution was being nitpicked and the language was irrelevant. It
was a directive. Council was establishing the commission, asking it to look at a problem. and if
possible. to come up with a solution on one of three dates. Whether "shall" or "may' was used
was irrelevant. It was being made far more complicated than it had to be, and she would accept
the language provided by Mr. Bailey.
Mayor Weiers said even if the commission was able to provide a recommendation by July 12th.
it was up to Council to decide the election date. The resolution was providing the dates for the
different elections.
Councilmember Malnar suggested removing Sections 4, 5 and 6 and add "and report to Council"
to Section 3.
Vice Mayor Clark said the commission did need some guidance from Council regarding special
election dates and the deadlines for the elections.
Councilmember Turner said the nominees for the commission did not represent a fair cross
section of the community. The resolution seemed to be steering the commission to put the
question on a special election that would have a low turnout. It would be better to put it on a
higher turnout election such as the August or November 2020 elections.
Gary Sherwood, Sahuaro District, said it seemed like Council was in a hurry and did not
remember seeing a notice regarding appointments to the commission. He agreed that it should
be on the August or November 2020 election instead of a special election.
Councilmember Tolmachoff agreed with Councilmember Malnar's suggestion of removing the
dates. Staff would be able to advise the commission on the election deadlines. She did not
want to set a deadline for the commission.
Mayor Weiers did not believe it was a deadline. It was only providing information regarding the
election deadlines.
Councilmember Tolmachoff asked why it had to be part of the resolution. It could instead be
part of the discussion. Staff could make the commission aware of the deadlines.
Mr. Bailey said it could be addressed by changing "shall" to "may.
Councilmember Aldama supported Councilmember Malnar's suggestion of removing the dates.
He could support the resolution without the dates. Staff would advise them of the dates.
Councilmember Hugh said Council provided direction to other boards and commissions and did
not understand what the sticking point was. He was okay with removing the dates from the
City Council Meeting Minutes - June 25. 2019 Page 28 of 31
resolution if it moved the resolution forward.
Councilmember Tolmachoff said Council would ask staff to provide the election deadline
information. She did not want the commission to feel rushed or that there was a Council
expectation.
Mr. Bailey said that would be acceptable but staff would not direct the commission to any
specific date.
Councilmember Aldama said the sticking point was that the results would financially benefit
Council. Council had to have a "hands-off' approach and not provide any directives.
Mayor Weiers would never make the assumption the commission would make a
recommendation that was favorable to Council. It was not guaranteed.
Vice Mayor Clark took no ownership other than establishing the commission and letting it come
to its own conclusion regarding Council compensation. Council was saying that it would like to
put it on a special election and providing the dates. It was up to the commission to decide what
recommendation it was going to make.
Mayor Weiers clarified that the compensation question would not be the only item on the ballot.
A motion was made by Councilmember Ian Hugh, seconded by Vice Mayor Joyce Clark to
adopt Resolution No. R19-80 with the floor amendments provided by the City Attorney and
replace the "shall" with "may" in Section 4.
A motion was made by Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff, seconded by Councilmember
Jamie Aldama to amend the resolution by striking Section 4 and paragraphs A and B.
