City Council Meeting Minutes - November 23, 2021 Page 5 of 17 A motion was made by Councilmember Joyce Clark, seconded by Councilmember Jamie Aldama to adopt Ordinance No. 021-77. AYE: Mayor Jerry Weiers Vice Mayor Ian Hugh Councilmember Jamie Aldama Councilmember Joyce Clark Councilmember Ray Malnar Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff Councilmember Bart Turner Passed 17. ORDINANCE NO. 021-78 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, REZONING 75 ACRES LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF WEST BETHANY HOME ROAD AND NORTH SARIVAL AVENUE FROM RR -45 (RURAL RESIDENTIAL) TO PAD (PLANNED AREA DEVELOPMENT) FOR A DEVELOPMENT PLAN ENTITLED "ORGANICS LOOP 303"; AMENDING THE ZONING MAP; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND DIRECTING THE CITY CLERK TO RECORD A CERTIFIED COPY OF THE ORDINANCE. (PUBLIC HEARING) Presented by: Tabitha Perry, Interim Planning Manager Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title. Mayor Weiers opened the public hearing. Ms. Perry said the proposed ordinance would approve a rezoning application (ZON21-21) for a 75 -acre project titled "Organics Loop 303," located at the southwest corner of Bethany Home Road and Sarival Avenue. Ms. Perry said the applicant hosted a virtual neighborhood meeting. No one attended the meeting. The applicant and City staff had been made aware of a property owner with concerns about access points, performance standards and lack of notification. Staff also received an email from an adjacent property owner with concerns about increased traffic volume. Staff believed the land uses with the associated performance standards were appropriate to mitigate the concerns. Ms. Perry said staff did verify that the address of the property owner who expressed concerns about notification was listed on the applicant's affidavit regarding notice. Ms. Perry said the request was to rezone the property from RR -45 to PAD (Planned Area Development) to allow for a mixed-use development. The property was designated as an LCLU (Luke Compatible Land Use) Area. The application was in compliance with the designation. The maximum building height proposed was 60 feet. Two buildings were proposed for a total of 851,300 square feet. Half street improvements would be made to Bethany Home Road and Sarival Avenue. There were stipulations to address access with a shared common access easement. Ms. Perry said the Planning Commission recommended approval of the application subject to City Council Meeting Minutes - November 23, 2021 Page 6 of 17 stipulations. The following people spoke in opposition to the application: Cynthia Graber, Phoenix resident Tom Howard, Phoenix resident Ken Roth, applicant, said he had reached out to Ms. Graber and explained that the access point would be entirely on the subject property not her property. He did offer to make it a common entrance that could be shared by both properties. Councilmember Turner said stipulations 5 and 6 indicated a 45 -foot common (shared) private access easement along the west property line from Bethany Home Road to Missouri Avenue and from Missouri Avenue to Sarival Avenue. The easement was entirely on the applicant's property. Mr. Roth said that was correct. It would be shared for access onto the adjacent property to the south. Councilmember Turner said the applicant was willing to use 45 feet of the applicant's property to access the neighboring property and it would be a private access. Mr. Roth said that was correct. It would also allow emergency access if necessary. Councilmember Turner asked if the irrigation ditch that ran along the north -south alignment would be preserved. Mr. Roth said the ditch was contained entirely on the neighboring property. The development's boundary wall would be to the east side of the irrigation ditch. Councilmember Clark asked who sent out the public notification. Ms. Perry said the applicant sent out the notification letters inviting property owners in the designated neighborhood to attend the virtual neighborhood meeting. When the application moved on to the public hearing process, City staff sent out postcard notification of the public hearings. Staff used the mailing list provided by the applicant. She said the adjacent property owner's address was included on the mailing list. Councilmember Clark said it was not required for the adjacent property owner to grant an access easement because the access was entirely on the applicant's property. Ms. Perry said that was correct. If the adjacent property owner wanted access in the future, it would be granted. Councilmember Clark asked if the irrigation ditch was entirely on the adjacent property and if the applicant had any reason to do anything with regard to the ditch. Ms. Perry said the ditch was entirely on the adjacent property. The City would not approve anything that would eliminate access to the ditch. There would be no impingement on the adjacent property owner's water rights. Councilmember Clark said the City in good faith mailed the notification postcards. The adjacent property owner's access, irrigation ditch and water rights would not be impacted by the development. City Council Meeting Minutes - November 23, 2021 Page 7 of 17 Councilmember Turner asked if the property was posted and the notices were published in a newspaper. Ms. Perry said that was correct. Mayor Weiers closed the public hearing. A motion was made by Councilmember Joyce Clark, seconded by Vice Mayor Ian Hugh to adopt Ordinance No. 021-78.

Ms. Perry said the Minor General Plan Amendment proposed a change from CCC (Corporate Commerce Center) to EMU (Entertainment Mixed Use) and a rezoning from PAD (Planned Area Development) to PAD for a development plan entitled "The Capistrano."

Presented by: Julie K. Bower, City Clerk Michael Bailey, City Attorney Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title. She said the proposed ordinance would adopt the new Council district boundaries that Council reached consensus on at its workshop on November 9th. If approved, the new boundaries would go into effect immediately. A motion was made by Councilmember Ray Malnar, seconded by Vice Mayor Ian Hugh to adopt Ordinance No. 021-82. Councilmember Clark was disappointed that the map did not incorporate the request of Independence Heights residents. The City would continue to grow, and the Yucca District would have an incredible increase in population. Council was putting off the inevitable in order to keep the boundary lines as close as possible to what they had always been. There would be dramatic shifts in the boundaries in ten years to accommodate the growth in the Yucca District. Council had preserved the largest geographical district, encouraged the largest population growth that would occur in the next few years and preserved the City Council Meeting Minutes - November 23, 2021 Page 11 of 17 district that remained the economic -driver in the City. It made a very strong case for completing all of Heroes Park. She would be voting no on the motion.

RESOLUTION NO. R21-121 A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, APPROVING THE AMENDED SUBMISSION OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE'S 2021 COMMUNITY HOUSING ANNUAL PUBLIC HOUSING AGENCY PLAN (FORM HUD -50075 -ST), TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT. (PUBLIC HEARING) Presented by: Jean Moreno, Director, Community Services Donald Paredez, Housing Administrator Ms. Bower read the resolution by title. Ms. Moreno requested that Council conduct a public hearing and adopt a resolution approving and authorizing the submission of a significant amendment to the City of Glendale's 2021 Annual Public Housing Authority Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The action would add two new policies to the Glendale Housing Authority's Housing Choice Voucher Administrative Plan for Emergency Housing Vouchers and Project Based Vouchers. Ms. Moreno said both chapters were regulatory in nature. The first chapter was to document the City's policies relating to the administration of the Emergency Housing Voucher Program. The second chapter would allow the City to,take advantage of an economic development tool to attract the creation of new housing units in Glendale through the use of project -based vouchers. There was no new funding associated with the use of the tool, but it would serve as a mechanism to address the supply shortage of affordable units in the community. The units would be required to rent at published fair market rental rates. Councilmember Clark asked what was meant by project -based voucher. Ms. Moreno said it was taking one of the City's existing housing choice vouchers and dedicating it to a specific development. For example, there was a 100 -unit project that the City might provide 30 project -based vouchers for the development. The 30 units would be deemed "affordable" to address the needs of the population utilizing the vouchers. Councilmember Clark asked what fair market rates were. Ms. Moreno said fair market rents were published annually by HUD to ensure that the City's housing assistance payments were in accordance with fair market rent in the region. Councilmember Aldama said it was a tool to increase the affordable homes inventory. Ms. Moreno said that was correct. Currently, there was a lack of affordable units, and the tool would sustain the inventory of units that were required to remain affordable for a long period of time. Councilmember Tolmachoff asked if the funding could be used for a specific demographic, such as hearing-impaired or seniors. Ms. Moreno said the demographics mentioned were suitable for the City's programs. Mayor Weiers said one of the biggest problems was seniors being priced out of their homes because of the rent increases. The homeless problem would get worse. He was in full City Council Meeting Minutes - November 23, 2021 Page 14 of 17 support of the item. Mayor Weiers opened the public hearing. Dan Klocke, Phoenix resident, spoke in favor of the item. Mayor Weiers closed the public hearing. A motion was made by Councilmember Jamie Aldama, seconded by Vice Mayor Ian Hugh to adopt Resolution No. R21-121. Mayor Weiers said it was one more tool for the City to use and he was very excited about it. He said Ms. Moreno was doing an awesome job.
