The item was pulled from the Consent Resolutions for separate consideration by Councilmember Clark. Ms. Bower read the resolution by title. City Council Meeting Minutes - December 13, 2022 Page 5 of 15 Councilmember Clark said automatic aid was very important to all of the cities throughout the Valley. She said the Life Safety Council, which administered automatic aid, refused to deal with reimbursement for excess calls for fire and medical service outside of a member's jurisdiction. Year -over -year, the City of Glendale responded into Phoenix approximately 2,000 times more than Phoenix responded into Glendale. It was a large imbalance. Councilmember Clark said the automatic aid agreement stated, "Reciprocity; No Guaranty of Perfect Equity. Participants agree that automatic aid is reciprocal. While this does not ensure that a participant's jurisdiction will receive the exact amount of assistance it gives, it does mean that all participants will provide assistance outside their jurisdictional boundaries and that the level of service delivered, and decisions made within the Automatic Aid System will be mutually beneficial to all participants in the system and will maintain general equity among all participants to the greatest degree possible." Councilmember Clark said the situation had gone on too long. She would be casting a no vote on the agreement. A motion was made by Councilmember Bart Turner, seconded by Vice Mayor Jamie Aldama to adopt Resolution No. R22-121.

ORDINANCE NO. 022-85 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, REZONING 38.1 ACRES LOCATED SOUTH OF THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF ARIZONA STATE ROUTE 303 AND BETHANY HOME ROAD FROM M-1 (LIGHT INDUSTRIAL) TO PAD (PLANNED AREA DEVELOPMENT) FOR A DEVELOPMENT PLAN ENTITLED "BETHANY HOME 303"; AMENDING THE ZONING MAP; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND ORDERING THAT A CERTIFIED COPY OF THE ORDINANCE IS RECORDED. Presented by: Tabitha Perry, Planning Manager Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title. Mayor Weiers opened the public hearing. Ms. Perry said the property was currently zoned M-1(Light Industrial). The applicant was requesting to rezone the property to.PAD (Planned Area Development) to allow for a mixed -use of industrial and commercial. There were four access points, and the primary truck route would be north and south with a secondary access from the Missouri Avenue Alignment as an east -west route. Ms. Perry said the Planning Commission considered the application at its meeting on November 10th and recommended approval with stipulations. The following people spoke on the matter: Cynthia Graber, Phoenix resident, said her property rights on the adjacent property were being obstructed by the proposed project. City Council Meeting Minutes - December 13, 2022 Page 8 of 15 Jack McKinney, Lake Forest, IL, was the applicant's representative. He said the land Ms. Graber had been using encroached on the subject property and the project would lose 40,000 square feet because of the encroachment. He was trying to work something out with Ms. Graber. Councilmember Malnar asked if the easement rights referred to by Ms. Graber were recorded. Tom Howard, Phoenix resident, said it was a proscriptive right that had been enjoyed since Ms. Graber's family had owned the property. No legal action had been filed to enforce it. There was no recorded easement. Councilmember Malnar asked if Council approved the action, would the City have any liability if the easement went to court. Mr. Bailey said the zoning matter before Council did not involve access. It would be the property owner's obligation and burden to establish a right of access or extinguish a right of access. Councilmember Clark said the matter before Council was only the zoning application. The access issue would have to be decided by a court. Mayor Weiers closed the public hearing. A motion was made by Councilmember Joyce Clark, seconded by Vice Mayor Jamie Aldama to adopt Ordinance No. 022-85. AYE: Mayor Jerry Weiers Vice Mayor Jamie Aldama Councilmember Joyce Clark Councilmember Ian Hugh Councilmember Ray Malnar Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff Councilmember Bart Turner Passed 32.

ORDINANCE NO. 022-89 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, AMENDING THE GLENDALE CITY CODE, CHAPTER 24 (MOTOR VEHICELS AND TRAFFIC), ARTICLE IV (SPECIFIC PARKING PROHIBITIONS) SECTION 24-68 (PARKING ON RESIDENTIAL LOTS) (C) AND (D) 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 Council had previously approved a change related to offstreet parking. The distinction between a large lot and a small lot was changed to 8,000 square feet. Staff recommended that it be changed back to 12,000 square feet so that it was consistent with the Unified Development Code (UDC) and to provide ease of understanding for residents. The ordinance would also change where the continuous width of a driveway was measured, from the front setback to the front of the property line. Councilmember Malnar said the Code Committee recommended the change to 8,000 square City Council Meeting Minutes - December 13, 2022 Page 12 of 15 feet. The Committee determined that there were many lots that were technically out of compliance because they were not allowed a full 40 feet of driveway. The proposed ordinance would take those lots back out of compliance. He supported leaving it at 8,000 square feet. Councilmember Malnar proposed that the ordinance be amended to strike the 12,000 square feet requirement and leave it at 8,000 square feet in 24-68(C) and 24-68(D). He said Council might need to bring the item back once Council discussed circular drives. A motion was made by Councilmember Ray Malnar, seconded by Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff to adopt Ordinance No. 022-89. A motion was made by Councilmember Ray Malnar, seconded by Councilmember Joyce Clark to amend the motion to strike "12,000" in Section 24-68 paragraphs C and D. Councilmember Turner supported the amendment. The issue could be addressed when the UDC came forward and there was a discussion regarding circular driveways. He supported the measurement from the property line. Warren Wilfong, Ocotillo District resident, supported the ordinance as amended. There were thousands of properties with 40-foot driveways and that was why the Code Committee settled on the 8,000 square feet. The vote on the motion to amend was: AYE: Mayor Jerry Weiers Vice Mayor Jamie Aldama Councilmember Joyce Clark Councilmember Ian Hugh Councilmember Ray Malnar Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff Councilmember Bart Turner Passed Vice Mayor Aldama said it was also the recommendation of the consultant the City hired to work with the Code Committee. Mayor Weiers said it was an attempt to make the Code as good as possible.
