ORDINANCE NO. 023-02 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, REZONING 1.05 ACRES LOCATED AT 4850 W. GLENDALE AVENUE FROM GCO (GLENDALE CENTERLINE OVERLAY) TO C-3 (HEAVY COMMERCIAL); AMENDING THE ZONING MAP; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND ORDERING THAT A CERTIFIED COPY OF THE ORDINANCE IS RECORDED. (PUBLIC HEARING - CONTINUED FROM JANUARY 24, 2023 AND FEBRUARY 14, 2023) Presented by: Tabitha Perry, Planning Manager Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title. Ms. Perry said the subject property was located at 4850 West Glendale Avenue. The site was surrounded by commercial uses. It was a developed site that had previously been used for car sales. The Planning Commission had forwarded a recommendation for approval with two stipulations. Councilmember Tolmachoff asked if the property was inside the boundaries of the Entertainment District. City Council Meeting Minutes - February 28, 2023 Page 7 of 11 Ms. Perry said it was within the Entertainment District as it related to the liquor license deviation. Councilmember Tolmachoff asked if the property was developed as a venue where liquor was served, there would be no distance requirement from a church or school. Ms. Perry said that was correct. James Deibler, Phoenix resident, spoke in support of the item. A motion was made by Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff, seconded by Councilmember Ian Hugh to adopt Ordinance No. 023-02. Councilmember Tolmachoff said the request was opposed to the goal for the overlay and the redevelopment of downtown. The proposal contained no upgrades to the site. There was no reason for Council to move forward. It did not meet the criteria and the direction the City was moving and where it wanted to take the downtown. Councilmember Turner concurred with Councilmember Tolmachoff. Council was being asked to do the due diligence for the applicant. It was not properly zoned for the applicant's intended use, and it was not Council's job to change the zoning to match the intended use. Vice Mayor Clark agreed with Councilmembers Tolmachoff and Turner. The City was investing over $80 million in the redevelopment of its downtown campus with the goal of encouraging new attractive investment to the downtown. Granting the rezoning set precedent and allowed a use that did not contribute to the image that was trying to be created for downtown Glendale. The vote on the motion was: AYE: Mayor Jerry Weiers Councilmember Jamie Aldama Councilmember Ian Hugh Councilmember Ray Malnar NAY: Vice Mayor Joyce Clark Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff Councilmember Bart Turner Passed 24. LA POUR, AN-245 ANNEXATION LOCATED NORTH OF THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF BETHANY HOME ROAD AND LOOP 303 (PUBLIC HEARING) Presented By: Tabitha Perry, Planning Manager City Council Meeting Minutes - February 28, 2023 Page 8 of 11 Ms. Bower read the item by title.

ORDINANCE NO. 023-05 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF EASEMENTS AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND DIRECTING THE CITY CLERK TO RECORD A CERTIFIED COPY OF THE ORDINANCE. Presented by:Jayme E. Chapin, P.E., Principal Engineer Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title. Ms. Chapin said the proposed ordinance would accept two waterline easements in support of private development. In addition, the Maricopa County Flood Control District was granting the City a public utility easement in support of a lift station. Staff recommended acceptance of the easements. A motion was made by Councilmember Bart Turner, seconded by Vice Mayor Joyce Clark to adopt Ordinance No. 023-05. AYE: Mayor Jerry Weiers Vice Mayor Joyce Clark Councilmember Jamie Aldama Councilmember Ian Hugh Councilmember Ray Malnar Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff Councilmember Bart Turner Passed 26. ORDINANCE NO. 023-06 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, AMENDING THE GLENDALE CITY CODE, CHAPTER 21.5 (SHOPPING CARTS) AND SETTING FORTH AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Presented by: Rick St. John, Deputy City Manager City Council Meeting Minutes - February 28, 2023 Page 9 of 11 Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title. Mr. St. John said the proposed ordinance would require new retail establishments in newly constructed facilities to equip all shopping carts with a restrictive device that prevented removal from the premises. The ordinance would also require existing retail establishments and new retail establishments doing business in an existing facility to either equip shopping carts with the device that prevented removal or enter into a contract with a shopping cart retrieval service. Councilmember Aldama was pleased with the proposed ordinance. Council had received an email from a resident of a nearby City. She was concerned that without a shopping cart, she would not be able to get her groceries from the store to her home. He sympathized with her concerns, but it was important to keep the carts out of the public rights -of -way. Councilmember Tolmachoff said the concern expressed in the email was getting the groceries from the store to her car if she was not able to remove the cart from the store. Councilmember Tolmachoff asked if shoppers would be allowed to take the carts to their cars to unload purchases. Mr. St. John said that was correct. A motion was made by Councilmember Jamie Aldama, seconded by Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff to adopt Ordinance No. 023-06. AYE: Mayor Jerry Weiers Vice Mayor Joyce Clark Councilmember Jamie Aldama Councilmember Ian Hugh Councilmember Ray Malnar Councilmember Lauren Tolmachoff Councilmember Bart Turner Passed COUNCIL COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS Councilmember Aldama recognized the Glendale Chamber of Commerce for its work in moving the One Community One Pledge issue along. In the last 10 years, the country, the state and Glendale had become more inclusive. Councilmember Malnar reported on a recent inquiry regarding 35 code enforcement complaints filed in the Granada Estates. If someone made more than 5 complaints in a week, the additional complaints would be put on hold and would be processed after the initial 5 complaints. He commended the work of the code enforcement officers. It could take up to a year to close a case. Code enforcement was committed to viewing every residence in the City over the next 18 months. Councilmember Tolmachoff asked everyone to save the date of April 27th for the Cholla District's Spring Barbeque at the Foothills Recreation and Aquatics Center. Councilmember Turner reminded residents the Folk and Heritage Festival would be held on March 4th and 5th at Sahuaro Ranch Park. City Council Meeting Minutes - February 28, 2023 Page 10 of 11 Vice Mayor Clark commended Councilmember Malnar for the time and effort he had devoted to addressing the issues at Granada Estates. She said it was disrespectful for a Granada Estates resident to request a meeting with Councilmember Malnar and then not have the courtesy to attend the meeting. He was the best advocate for getting the neighborhood cleaned up. Vice Mayor Clark said on March 11th, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., the Police Department would be hosting a shred event in the Yucca District. The event would be held at the Black Lot at State Farm Stadium. CITIZEN COMMENTS Warren Wilfong, Ocotillo District resident, commented on parking regulations.
