14. RESOLUTION NO. R20-04
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, REGARDING THE DISPOSITION OF CITY OWNED REAL PROPERTY.
Presented by: Brent Stoddard, Deputy City Manager
Ms. Bower read the resolution by title.
Mr. Stoddard said policy is to establish procedures for the lease, sale, or exchange of
City-owned land or land rights. The policy outlined the procedures that would be followed if the
sale of a property was Council initiated, City Manager initiated or was an unsolicited offer or
inquiry. It also outlined five methods that could be used for the lease, sale or exchange of City
property.
Cheryl Kappes, Ocotillo District, expressed concerns that the policy did not appear to close the
loopholes regarding unsolicited offers. There could still be a lack of transparency. It was not
clear what properties were available for sale and where the revenue from the sale would go.
City Council Meeting Minutes-January 14, 2020 Page 6 of 20
Councilmember Aldama said paragraph A of the section regarding unsolicited offers, read:
"Upon receipt of the offer, the City Manager shall notify the Council that an offer has been
received." The discussion at the workshop had been that the notification would take place at a
public meeting. He asked that the paragraph be changed to include "in public."
Councilmember Aldama was pleased that Council was considering the proposed policy. It was
a long time in coming.
Councilmember Tolmachoff clarified that with the amendment, Paragraph A of the Unsolicited
Offer or Inquiry would read, "Upon receipt of the offer, the City Manager shall notify the Council
in a public meeting that an offer has been received."
Councilmember Aldama said that was correct.
A motion was made by Councilmember Jamie Aldama, seconded by Councilmember Bart
Turner to amend Paragraph A of the section entitled "Unsolicited Offer and Inquiry" to read,
"Upon receipt of the offer, the City Manager shall notify the Council in a public meeting that
an offer has been received."

A motion was made by Councilmember Jamie Aldama, seconded by Councilmember Lauren
Tolmachoff to adopt Resolution No. R20-04 as amended.
Councilmember Malnar said the concern expressed regarding the transparency of
unsolicited offers had been addressed. He said the revenue from the sale of public property
went into the General Fund. It would require a budget process to spend the money in the
next fiscal year.
Mr. Phelps clarified that the funds from the sale of property would go into the General Fund
unless the property was owned by one of the City's enterprise funds. In that case, the money
would be returned to the appropriate enterprise fund. The funds could be spent through an
additional authorization approved by Council or through the next budget cycle.

PUBLIC HEARING - LAND DEVELOPMENT ACTIONS
21. WEST 303 CROSSING ANNEXATION AN-208 (PUBLIC HEARING)
Presented by: Lisa Collins, Planning Administrator
Mayor Weiers read the item by title and said the matter regarded land annexation only.
Ms. Collins said the next three agenda items were public hearings for blank annexation
petitions. All three items had been discussed and direction given at previous workshops. No
action was required by Council and was for public comment only. The applicants would gather
signatures and the annexations would return to Council at a future meeting.
Ms. Collins said no development activity would result from tonight's public hearing. The
properties would be brought into the City with zoning that was similar to the current County
zoning. Most of the properties were within the noise contours of Luke Air Force Base which did
not allow residential development. Development would require a Planning Commission
recommendation and Council approval.
Vice Mayor Clark said if the property was annexed, there was still a lengthy process for
development that included staff review, Planning Commission and Council approval. There
would be many opportunities for public input.
Councilmember Tolmachoff said the reports for two of the properties indicated there was
simultaneous zoning. She asked if there were open zoning cases.
Ms. Collins said that was correct for items 21 and 22 and both could be coming in soon for the
annexation and rezoning.
Councilmember Tolmachoff asked if there were open zoning cases for those two items.
Ms. Collins said that was correct for AN-208. AN-212 currently had Planned Area Development
(PAD)zoning through the County and would transfer over as a PAD.
Councilmember Tolmachoff asked at what point would there be an opportunity for public input for
AN-212.
Mr. Bailey said because three different items were being discussed, it was becoming difficult to
follow what specific property was being discussed. He asked that Council address the items
separately.
Mayor Weiers said comments and questions should be regarding item 21.
City Council Meeting Minutes-January 14, 2020 Page 10 of 20
Vice Mayor Clark said the next action on item 21 would be the formal annexation. She asked if
there would also be rezoning at that time and what was the proposed zoning and what was
planned for the property.
Ms. Collins said there would be PAD zoning. The applicant had been to the Planning
Commission and proposed industrial and commercial buildings of approximately 1.250 million
square feet on the 76 acres.
Vice Mayor Clark asked if there were any plans for a Love's Truck Stop on the property.
Ms. Collins said there was no proposal for a truck stop on the property.
Mr. Bailey reminded that the item addressed annexation and not uses or the end user. The
question was, did the City want to regulate the property instead of the County.
Vice Mayor Clark said the applicant was asking for PAD zoning and asked if it was not
appropriate to find out the conceptual plans for the property.
Mr. Phelps said property owners and developers had the right for concurrent processes. The
item tonight was to take public comment on the blank petition to annex the property into the
City. The next step would be submittal of the signed petitions and a formal annexation request.
During that time, the developer had the right to proceed with the entitlement process with City
staff. There would be a workshop on the PAD and for public comment at a voting meeting.
Vice Mayor Clark was trying to make it clear to the public that there were concurrent processes.
Councilmember Tolmachoff said the staff report indicated that the processes would happen
simultaneously. She wanted to make sure the public was aware and able to follow the zoning
case.
Mayor Weiers opened the public hearing.
Robert Weedman, Waddell resident, wanted to know what a PAD was.
Mayor Weiers said Council could not respond to questions but Ms. Collins would be able to
answer his questions.
Mr. Bailey asked for a recess.
Mayor Weiers recessed the meeting.
Vice Mayor Clark reconvened the meeting. Mayor Weiers left the meeting to attend an event.
Marie McAlister, Litchfield Park resident, was opposed to the annexation.
Todd Knight, Litchfield Park resident, was opposed to the annexation.
Tomasa Auzo, Litchfield Park resident, was opposed to the annexation.
Eva Hernandez, Litchfield Park resident, was opposed to the annexation.
Yesenia Espinoza, Waddell resident, was concerned about what the uses would be and how it
would affect her property.

Cynthia Graber, Litchfield Park resident, was opposed to the annexation.
Vice Mayor Clark closed the public hearing.
22. BARCLAY GROUP ANNEXATION AN-212 (PUBLIC HEARING)
Presented by: Lisa Collins, Planning Administrator
Ms. Bower read the item by title.
Ms. Collins said the annexation was approximately 97 acres in size and was located at the
southwest corner of Glendale Avenue and the Loop 303 Freeway.
Vice Mayor Clark opened the public hearing.
No one wished to speak.
Vice Mayor Clark closed the public hearing.
23. COPPERWING LOGISTICS ANNEXATION AN-209 (PUBLIC HEARING)
Presented by: Lisa Collins, Planning Administrator
Ms. Bower read the item by title.
Ms. Collins said the annexation was approximately 6.3 acres in size and was located near the
northwest corner of Dysart Road and the Northern Parkway. Following annexation, the applicant
would seek to have the property and the existing City of Glendale strip annexation to the north
de-annexed to the City of El Mirage to have the property developed in the City of El Mirage.
Vice Mayor Clark opened the public hearing.
No one wished to speak.
Vice Mayor Clark closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Turner said the report stated that because the property was proposed to be
developed in the City of El Mirage, there was no guarantee future development would comply
with all state statutes and City zoning ordinance provisions for development in the vicinity of a
military airport. He asked if the City of El Mirage would be required to comply with state statute.
Ms. Collins said it meant that the City would not be able to regulate the development but
assumed the City of El Mirage would have to follow state statute.

24. ORDINANCE NO. 020-01
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 CONSISTING OF APPROXIMATELY
161 ACRES AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF COTTON LANE AND GLENDALE AVENUE
TO BE KNOWN AS ANNEXATION AREA NO. 199: AMENDING THE ZONING MAP;
City Council Meeting Minutes-January 14, 2020 Page 12 of 20
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND DIRECTING THE CITY CLERK TO RECORD A
CERTIFIED COPY OF THIS ORDINANCE.
Presented By: Lisa Collins, Planning Administrator
Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title.
Ms. Collins said the proposed ordinance would annex approximately 161 acres of land. The
annexation area was located on the west side of the Loop 303 freeway, between Glendale
Avenue and Bethany Home Road.
Ms. Collins said the property was designated Regional Mixed Use (RMU) and Luke Compatible
Land Use (LCLU) by the City's General Plan. The property was zoned RU-43 (Rural
Residential) in Maricopa County. After annexation, the most compatible City zoning district
would be applied to the property. The most compatible zoning district was A-1 (Agricultural).
The process would occur simultaneously with the annexation.
Ms. Collins said there was no rezoning request scheduled for the property.
Councilmember Turner clarified that if it was annexed, the City would assign A-1 zoning to the
property. He asked if there was a rezoning application for the property.
Ms. Collins said there was nothing in process.
Councilmember Aldama said there was an application under review.
Ms. Collins said there had been discussion about what was anticipated for the uses and zoning.
Vice Mayor Clark asked what uses were discussed.
Ms. Collins said it was industrial, commercial and retail.
Councilmember Turner said the Council report indicated a rezoning application for Planned Area
Development was under review by the City. Rezoning, if approved, would need to be consistent
with the Luke Compatible Land Use and the Regional Mixed-Use designations of the City's
General Plan. The PAD proposed a mix of industrial and commercial uses. The rezoning
request would be brought forward to Council once the annexation was completed.
Councilmember Tolmachoff asked what the notification process was for such areas. There was
no residential within the 300-foot limit.
Ms. Collins said it was a 300-foot notification requirement, the sites were posted, and a notice
was published. Anyone could subscribe as an interested party to receive notifications.
Robert Weedman, Waddell resident, was concerned about the notification process. The
surrounding residents had no idea the annexation and rezoning was taking place.
Jennifer Bloomberg, Waddell resident, was opposed to the ordinance, concerned about
increased traffic and the negative impact the development would have on the community.
Marcia Ford, Waddell resident, was opposed to the ordinance because of the negative impact on
the community.
City Council Meeting Minutes-January 14, 2020 Page 13 of 20
A motion was made by Councilmember Ian Hugh, seconded by Councilmember Lauren
Tolmachoff to adopt Ordinance No. 020-01.
Councilmember Aldama would vote no.
Councilmember Malnar understood the concerns of the residents but the annexation would
give residents better control than if the property remained in the County. The County had
fewer restrictions in its zoning process. In the City, zoning requests were reviewed by the
Planning Commission and Council.
Councilmember Turner appreciated the residents' comments. The area would develop in a
manner similar to other recent developments in the area. He agreed that the City process
would provide more protection for the residents than if the property remained in the County.
He said residents could work with the County to restrict heavy truck traffic on the residential
streets. There would be several more hearings.
Councilmember Tolmachoff said there would be a zoning case and there would be more
opportunities for public input.
Vice Mayor Clark said development would take place even without the annexation and
residents would get more sensitivity from the City rather than the County. The City would try
to accommodate and address concerns as much as was possible. She understood the
concerns of the residents.
Councilmember Aldama had clarified that if the City did not annex the property, the County
would decide the zoning without any City input. He did not want to give up his legislative
authority and asked to change his vote to aye.
The vote on the motion was:

Passed
Mr. Phelps clarified the notification requirement for annexation related only to property
owners within the annexation area. As part of the PAD process, a workshop would be held
where Council could provide direction on the size of the notification area. It could expand the
notification area beyond the 300-foot statutory requirement. There would be two public
hearings regarding the rezoning application, one at a Planning Commission meeting and one
at a Council meeting.

29. RESOLUTION NO. R20-05
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE ENTERING INTO OF A DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT WITH MARK ANTHONY BREWING INC.
Presented by: Randy Huggins, Economic Development Officer
Ms. Bower read the resolution by title.
Mr. Huggins said the proposed resolution would authorize the City Manager to enter into a
Development Agreement regarding certain City fees between the City and Mark Anthony
Brewing Inc. (MAB).
Mr. Huggins said MAB planned to construct a 916,000 square foot state-of-the-art brewing
facility to accommodate market demand for White Claw Hard Seltzer. The brand was number
one in the U.S. hard seltzer market segment and continued to grow in popularity, which had
exceeded the company's current production capabilities. The new facility would employ more
than 200 with an average wage above $50,000 per year.
Mr. Huggins said the proposed facility would be located in the northern portion of the Woolf
Logistics Center at the southeast corner of Reems Road and Butler. The project would help
expedite the construction of the APS substation at Reems Road and Olive. It would result in the
City foregoing $750,000 of plan review and permit inspection fees. Total direct revenue to the
City was expected to reach $5 million over ten years. MAB was funding over$2 million in
roadway improvements.
A motion was made by Vice Mayor Joyce Clark, seconded by Councilmember Lauren
Tolmachoff to adopt Resolution No. R20-05.
Councilmember Aldama was excited to have the development located in the City and
thanked the Economic Development team.
Vice Mayor Clark said it was a momentous project for the City and the West Valley. It would
act as a catalyst for further development and job creation in the area.
Mayor Weiers said the City was able to offer speed-to-market for the project which was
important to MAB. Its product was so successful that it was losing money every day
because it could not meet demand. He was proud that the City was able to make it happen.
The vote on the motion was:
AYE: Mayor Jerry Weiers
Vice Mayor Joyce Clark
Councilmember Jamie Aldama
Councilmember Ian Hugh

Jane Bachmann, Barrel District resident, commented on the sale and development of the Glen Lakes
Golf Course.
Stella Greazzo, Ocotillo District resident, commented on development in the City.
Warren Wilfong, Ocotillo District resident, commented on the requirements of a General Plan amendment
for Glen Lakes Golf Course.
COUNCIL COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS
Councilmember Aldama reminded Ocotillo residents of Coffee with a Cop on January 15, 2020, 8:00 a.m.
at Angkor Donuts, 6514 W. Bethany Home Road.
Councilmember Aldama asked residents to save the date of Saturday, February 1, 2020, 11:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m., for the Full Moon Lantern Festival in downtown Glendale.
Councilmember Hugh thanked Vice Mayor Clark for her service as Vice Mayor.
Councilmember Malnar also thanked Vice Mayor Clark for her service. He was honored to serve as Vice
Mayor and would do his best.
Councilmember Tolmachoff said, with regard to Mr. Wilfong's comments, even if the City had in the past,
broken up properties into smaller pieces to get around the requirement for a major General Plan
amendment, if the Glen Lakes development required a major General Plan amendment, then that was
what should be done. Ethics and integrity mattered, and the City should be held to a higher standard.
Councilmember Turner agreed that a major General Plan amendment would be required. If it could not
be done the right way, then it should not be done at all.
Councilmember Turner said during the approval of the Glen Lakes purchase and sale agreement at the
December 10th voting meeting, staff had indicated the zoning process would address stipulations to
maintain landscaping during development and construction of the park in the first phase of the
development. The zoning agenda was posted and there were no stipulations that would protect the
neighborhood. The Planning Commission did not know what had been promised to the neighborhood. If
Council was not going to hold management and staff accountable, then Council should be held
accountable.
Councilmember Turner thanked board and commission members for their service. When the board and
commission process was used correctly, it was instrumental to the functioning of City government.
Councilmember Turner was saddened that there was a loss of life in his district due to a fire. He
reminded everyone to make sure they had smoke detectors and that the detectors were working
correctly.
Councilmember Turner reminded everyone of the 57th Annual Glendale Arts Council Juried Art Show,
January 16—26, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Sahuaro Ranch Park.
Vice Mayor Clark welcomed Mark Anthony Brewing to the Yucca District and the City. It was an
important development.
Vice Mayor Clark attended, along with Mayor Weiers, Governor Ducey's State of the State Address.
Governor Ducey was focused on education, veterans and the Department of Public Safety.

Vice Mayor Clark had not attended the recent Glen Lakes public meeting. She had been informed that
attendees were disrespectful and rude. There had been a similar situation in the Yucca District and even
though residents were opposed to the proposed development, not once did they behave in the fashion
that happened at the Glen Lakes public meeting. She said apologies were in order.
Vice Mayor Clark thanked Council for providing her with the opportunity to be Vice Mayor. She had
enjoyed it.
ADJOURNMENT
Vice Mayor Clark adjourned the meeting at 8:11 p.m.
I hereby certify that the foregoing minutes are a true and correct copy of the minutes of the
