A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,

AND FILING WRITTEN REPORTS SUPPORTING THE PROPOSED INCREASES WITH
THE CITY CLERK.
Presented by: Vicki Rios, Assistant City Manager
Jack Friedline, Assistant City Manager
Craig Johnson, P.E., Water Services Director
The resolution was pulled from the Consent Agenda by Councilmember Tolmachoff for a
presentation and separate vote.
Ms. Rios said the purpose of the proposed resolution was to notify the public of the Council's
intent to increase the water and sewer rates and set a public hearing on the proposed
increases for October 26, 2021. Council would also vote on the proposed rate increase on
that date. The resolution also informed the public that a report was on file with the City
Clerk's Office and on the City's website that supported and provided background on the need
for the rate increases.
Councilmember Tolmachoff would support the resolution notifying residents of a proposed
rate increase. She would not support a 5 -year rate increase with the current conditions on
the Colorado River and the uncertainty regarding the future cost of water. She would
support a 2 -year rate increase. A 5 -year plan could be adopted with an assessment in 2
years. The Central Arizona Project (CAP) would be delivering less water. It was inevitable
that the cost of water would increase and a 2 -year rate increase would be more prudent.

Lauren Tolmachoff to approve Resolution No. R21 -77 -

City Council Meeting Minutes - August 10, 2021 Page 8 of 17
A motion was made by Councilmember Joyce Clark, seconded by Vice Mayor Ian
Hugh to approve item 33.
Councilmember Tolmachoff said during her tenure on Council, she had never been
presented with a similar professional services agreement. After researching the
agreement, she had emailed Mr. Phelps with questions regarding the agreement.
She had asked for documentation of the available sources reviewed. Mr. Phelps'
response was to direct her to the rationale for the special procurement. He also stated
that the special skill sets of the vendor would be critical to realize the City's vision for
Class A office space.
Councilmember Tolmachoff said the funding was not included in the FY21-22 budget or
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). She asked Mr. Phelps where the funding would be
coming from and what would not be funded because of the unfunded expense. Mr.
Phelps had responded that if costs were incurred, staff would identify funding sources to
be used. His response did not answer her question.
Councilmember Tolmachoff said the minutes from the June 22nd workshop indicated that
Plaza Companies would analyze options and return to Council with recommendations
and that all opportunities, not just Class A office space, would be explored based on
market needs. Mr. Phelps had said that no vertical construction would take place without
Council approval.
Councilmember Tolmachoff said her questions were not answered and without clarity for
when and if options would be returned to Council, where the project funding would come
from, what would not be funded as a result and the stated reason for the special
procurement could not be documented, she would not be able to support the item.
Councilmember Turner was concerned with the information presented. There was a lack
of any measurable deliverables or timeframes. The reasons provided for the sale source
procurement had not been justified and did not meet requirements. He would be voting
no on the item.

A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,

ARIZONA, BY APPROVING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT GPA21-02 FOR PROPERTY
LOCATED SOUTH OF THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF 51ST AVENUE AND PEORIA
AVENUE.
ORDINANCE NO. 021-49
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, REZONING PROPERTY LOCATED SOUTH OF THE SOUTHEAST CORNER
OF 51 ST AVENUE AND PEORIA AVENUE FROM R1-6, C-2, AND C-3 TO R-2 (MIXED
RESIDENCE) AMENDING THE ZONING MAP; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE;
AND DIRECTING THE CITY CLERK TO RECORD A CERTIFIED COPY OF THE
ORDINANCE.
Presented by: Tabitha Perry, Interim Planning Manager
Ms. Bower read the resolution and ordinance by title.
Ms. Perry said the two requests being made were to approve a Minor General Plan
Amendment from GC (General Commercial) and MDR5 (Medium Density Residential, 3.5-5
dwelling units/acre (du/ac)) to MHDR12 (Medium High Density Residential, 8-12 du/ac) and
a zoning change from R1-6, C-2, and C-3 to R-2 (Mixed Residence). The property was
located south and east of the southeast corner of 51st Avenue and Peoria Avenue and was
approximately 17.72 acres in size.
Ms. Perry said the applicant proposed a gated development of 197 single -story, detached
rental units ranging from 1 - 3 bedrooms with 7.6 acres of open space. Amenities included a
pool, jacuzzi, tot lot and a dog park.
Ms. Perry said the proposal would result in a quality development product which was
consistent with the goals and objectives of the General Plan by promoting infill development
and a variety of housing types for all income levels and supporting people at various stages
in their lives.
Ms. Perry said the Planning Commission considered the requests at its August 5th meeting
and recommended approval subject to eight stipulations.
Mayor Weiers opened the public hearing.
Dennis Godfrey, Barrel District resident, was in support of the requests but had questions
regarding the 55 -foot half street improvement and ingress and egress for the development.
Brennan Ray, Applicant, said the 55 -foot dedication was a clean-up for Peoria Avenue and
was not an improvement. Primary access for the site would be off of Peoria Avenue and
there was a secondary access point off of 51 st Avenue.
Councilmember Tolmachoff asked about the tenant garage depicted on the site plan.
Mr. Ray said all tenants were provided with a covered parking space. For an additional fee,
tenants could have access to enclosed garages that were internal to the site.
City Council Meeting Minutes - August 10, 2021 Page 10 of 17
Councilmember Turner asked if the developer would complete 49th Avenue.
Mr. Ray said the developer was required to complete the western half of 49th Avenue
including curb, gutter and sidewalk.
Councilmember Turner said there would be no exits into the existing neighborhoods. He
also asked about the ingress and egress on 51 st Avenue.
Mr. Ray said there would be no exits into the neighborhood. He said a Planning
Commissioner had raised concerns about safe movement out of the development onto 51st
Avenue and the entrance should be limited to a right-in/right-out movement. It was currently
planned as a full movement. The applicant's traffic engineer had determined that a full
movement at that location was safe and City staff had agreed. After the Planning
Commission meeting, the applicant had agreed to take another look at it and would defer to
professional staff.
Mayor Weiers closed the public hearing.
A motion was made by Vice Mayor Ian Hugh, seconded by Councilmember Joyce
Clark to adopt Resolution No. R21-79.
Councilmember Aldama said the development was a long time coming. The property
had been vacant for many years.
Councilmember Clark said there were times when build -for -rent were appropriate. The
development was a mile from Glendale Community College and it would provide
students with rental options.
Councilmember Turner said in the past the property had been known as Sarival Farms
and Harrelson Stables. It had been the preferred stable for the Budweiser Clydesdales
whenever the team was in town.
Vice Mayor Hugh said the development would be a fine addition to the Cactus District.

LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF 67TH AVENUE AND GREENWAY ROAD.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, REZONING PROPERTY LOCATED AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF 67TH
AVENUE AND GREENWAY ROAD FROM C-2 (GENERAL COMMERCIAL) AND R-3
(MULTIPLE RESIDENCE) TO R-5 (MULTIPLE RESIDENCE) AMENDING THE ZONING
MAP; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND DIRECTING THE CITY CLERK TO
RECORD A CERTIFIED COPY OF THE ORDINANCE.
Presented by: Tabitha Perry, Interim Planning Manager
Ms. Bower read the resolution and ordinance by title.
Ms. Perry said the two requests being made were to approve a Minor General Plan
Amendment from GC (General Commercial) to HDR20 (High Density Residential, 12-20
dwelling units/acre (du/ac)) and a zoning change from C-2 (General Commercial) and R-3
(Multiple Residence) to R-5 (Multiple Residence). The property was located at the northeast
corner of 67th Avenue and Greenway Road and was 9.4 acres in size.
Ms. Perry said the applicant proposed a gated multiple family residential apartment complex
consisting of twelve 2- and 3 -story buildings with a total of 182 units ranging from 1 to 3
bedrooms. Amenities included a pool and dog park.
Ms. Perry said the amendment was consistent with the policies and objectives of the City's
General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and Residential Design and Development policies. It
promoted infill development within portions of the City where infrastructure was already
available, contributed to the supply and diversity of housing and furthered the public health,
safety and general welfare of the citizens of Glendale.
Ms. Perry said the Planning Commission, at its August 5th meeting, recommended approval
subject to seven stipulations.
Mayor Weiers opened the public hearing.
Councilmember Malnar said the particular corner was close to Cactus High School and
traffic was heavy. He asked if a traffic study had been completed.
Ms. Perry said a traffic impact study had been received and the traffic at Greenway and 67th
City Council Meeting Minutes - August 10, 2021 Page 12 of 17
Avenue was addressed.
Councilmember Malnar asked if a traffic light with a flashing turn signal could be expedited
and what the timeline was for the project.
Jon Froke, appearing for the applicant, said Greenway was not a through street west of 67th
Avenue, so most of the turning movements onto 67th Avenue would be north or south. By
eliminating commercial uses, the impact of the proposed development would be less. If the
requests were approved, construction would begin early 2022.
Mr. Friedline said he would work with staff to see if the traffic light could be expedited.
Mayor Weiers closed the public hearing.
A motion was made by Councilmember Ray Malnar, seconded by Councilmember
Lauren Tolmachoff to adopt Resolution No. R21-80.
Councilmember Malnar said it would be a great project for the area and appreciated the
developer moving forward on the project.

DECISION) AND SETTING FORTH AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Presented by: Rick St. John, Deputy City Manager
Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title.
Mr. St. John said the proposed ordinance would create a provision for court-ordered
abatement. It would be used infrequently but would provide another tool for Code
Compliance to obtain a court-ordered abatement to use in very egregious cases of code
violations.

ARIZONA, AMENDING GLENDALE CITY CODE CHAPTER 24 (MOTOR VEHICLES AND
TRAFFIC) ARTICLE VI (SPEED REGULATIONS) SECTION 24-94 (UNNECESSARY
VEHICLE NOISE) AND CHAPTER 25 (NUISANCES) ARTICLE VIII (MISCELLANEOUS
NUISANCES), SECTION 25-67 (VEHICULAR NOISE; VIOLATIONS) AND SETTING
FORTH AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Presented by: Rick St. John, Deputy City Manager
Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title.
Mr. St. John said the proposed amendments contained in the ordinance had been discussed
at a Council workshop and related to vehicle engine noise. The Code currently classified
engine noise as a criminal violation. At Council's request, the amendment would make the
first two violations in a twelve-month period civil offenses with minimal fines. Third and
subsequent offenses in a twelve-month period would be criminal offenses.
Mayor Weiers asked if engine noise included squealing tires. He did not know how there
would be enough officers to enforce it.
Mr. St. John said it dealt with only engine and exhaust noise. There were other statutes that
City Council Meeting Minutes - August 10, 2021 Page 14 of 17
dealt with squealing of tires.
Mayor Weiers asked if it was a decibel reading.
Mr. St. John said it was a distance ordinance not a decibel level ordinance.
Councilmember Aldama asked if the ordinance targeted owners who had modified their
engines.
Mr. St. John said it would be complaint driven. Currently, there was a hesitancy on the part
of officers to cite because it was a criminal citation. The proposed ordinance would address
the hesitancy.
Councilmember Tolmachoff confirmed that the penalty was being reduced.
Mr. St. John said that was correct.
A motion was made by Councilmember Bart Turner, seconded by Councilmember Joyce
Clark to adopt Ordinance No. 021-52.

Presented by: Lisette Camacho, Director, Budget and Finance
Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title.
Ms. Camacho said the City's FY20-21 total budget appropriation across all funds remained
unchanged with the action. Exhibit A contained the requested cash and appropriation
transfers between departments and funds.
Councilmember Tolmachoff asked if line 4 of Exhibit A regarding a transfer from 2019
Streets DIF Contingency to Pyramid Peak Wastewater Treatment Plant (WTP) Expansion
was for the 67th Avenue Project.
Ms. Rios said it was an appropriation transfer for the Pyramid Peak WTP expansion.
Craig Johnson, Water Services Director, confirmed it was for the expansion project.

COUNCIL COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS
Councilmember Clark said Glendale Police Officer Lonnie Durham had succumbed to complications of
COVID-19. Council and City employees were holding Officer Durham's family in their hearts and
prayers. She said the City had lost two other employees to COVID-19, sanitation truck driver Tom
Pena and sanitation fleet supervisor Montana Slack. She offered condolences to their families.
Councilmember Tolmachoff said it was good to be back and holding meetings in the Council
Chambers.
Councilmember Turner asked that the audio equipment in the Council Chambers be checked.
Vice Mayor Hugh thanked Mayor Weiers and Councilmember Aldama for attending the free swim day
at the Rose Lane pool. The Fire Department served hamburgers and hot dogs to the community and
provided safety lessons. The community really appreciated it.
Mayor Weiers said he, Vice Mayor Hugh and Councilmember Aldama had used spare district funds
for the installation of the American flag, POW flag and the Arizona flag in front of the Civic Center. The
flags looked great.
