THE PROCESS

Citizen Participation Requirement

As required by the City of Glendale Citizen Participation ordinance, the Citizen
Participation Final Report identifies the results of the citizen participation effort
on the PAD amendment request based on the amendment requiring public
hearings.

The PAD amendment requests to remove residential land use, a neighborhood
park, and an elementary school as permitted land uses; allow for employment
and Luke Compatible Land Uses, and establish development standards for
parcels C though J within the Woolf Crossing PAD (ZONo5-20) approval in
2006.

Citizen Participation Process and Efforts

As a part of the Citizen Participation Process, notification letters were
determined to be the best approach to notify citizens of the proposal and
receiving feedback.

City staff mailed 68 first class letters on May 19, 2021, to residents within a
300-feet radius from the Woolf Crossing property lines, Interested Parties, City
Council Office, and the Mayor's Office. The letter included a brief explanation of

CP Final Report PAGE 3

the proposed PAD amendment, a copy of the Proposed Land Use, Figure 9,
Exhibit from the Woolf Crossing PAD, and an aerial map.

Staff requested participation in the public review process by calling, emailing, or
writing staff to provide input on the proposal with a deadline of May 21, 2021, at
5:00 (see Notification Letter, Exhibit A).

Responses from the Citizen Participation Efforts

Staff has received one phone call and several emails regarding the proposed
amendment request. The consensus has been in opposition of the request. A
summary of concerns and reasons for opposing the request is as follow:

Concern with quality of life

Protection of livestock

Increase in semi-truck in the area that will create traffic problems
Continues increase in warehouse development

Property value negatively impacted

Notification not sent to property owners south of Northern Avenue

AMPH SE

City staff made an effort to acknowledge and provide information to citizens.
Many of the comments provided were statements. One resident provided a
mitigation suggestion to ensure appropriate screening and landscaping, which
would soften the appearance of the enormous buildings and protection for
livestock. As part of the Citizen Participation Process, attached are emails
received with staff's replies, Exhibit B.

The Citizen Participation ordinance requirement has been met. However, staff
will continue to address comments and questions leading up to the scheduled
public hearing dates.

Tentative hearing dates are:

Planning Commission Public Hearing-June 17, 2021
City Council Public Hearing-June 22, 2021

Dear Property Owners and Interested Parties:

The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the City has recently initiated a rezoning
application to amend the existing Woolf Crossing PAD (Planned Area Development),
which is generally located southeast of Loop 303 and Olive Avenue.

The existing PAD is approximately 738 aces, allows for commercial, residential, and
Luke Compatible Land Uses, and was approved by City Council in 2006.

The request is to amend approximately 301 acres within the existing PAD. The
amendment will:

1. Remove the residential land use that was planned for 657 single-family
residential lots.

2. Remove education (elementary school) and neighborhood park land uses.

3. Allow for Luke Compatible Land Uses to include warehouses and

distribution as permitted land uses on the approximately 301 acres.

With over 9 million square feet of planned or active construction underway, the Loop 303
area is developing at a record speed. With the vast amount of interest to develop,
primarily industrial land uses in the area, the City identifies the area as the "New Frontier
Corridor."

The benefits to amending the Woolf Crossing PAD to remove the residential land use and
allow for Luke Compatible Land Uses are:

. Alleviating potential residential residents' concerns due to aircraft noise.

. Allowing for additional industrial/employment opportunities in the City
benefits the community at large.

Planning would like to receive any input from the surrounding properties neighborhood
relative to the proposed amendment request. Your input is essential and is part of the
rezoning process requirements. Please contact me at (623) 930-2596 or email me at
tperry@glendaleaz.com to learn more about the rezoning case and express any concerns
you may have. The deadline to receive comments is May 21st at 5:00 P.M.

Good afternoon Trudy Hinson,

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on the proposed rezoning. The existing PAD would construct a
subdivision that would be developed between potential industrial (warehouse) and commercial developments. This is
the reason for the proposed rezoning. The thought is such a development would not be appropriate.

Those who do not have access to computers may send a letter via mail and/or call me directly. If someone desires to
share there thoughts, please share my information.

We live off of Sarival and Orangewood which is right next to all the land Glendale keeps annexing for their own greed
and no care to those of us who have lived here for years. We are tired of all the warehouses going up on every corner
and now talk of a dirty nasty crime infested casino going in a half mile from the house. How would you like to have your
quiet farm land neighborhood be taken over by ugly big warehouses and a casino. It needs to stop, this is getting out of
control. It is ruining our way of life as we know and want. Please stand in our shoes and see how it feels.

All my neighbors feel the same way.. Those who don't do computers should | pass on your number to them to?

Subject: rezoning

Hello Tabitha Perry,

| received a notice from our neighborhood group email regarding the rezoning initiative for Northern and Sarival area.
My wife and | are very much against this plan. Our home address is 16143 W. Lane Ave. Our neighborhood already feels
like we are being “boxed in” by warehouses as it is. This area is changing too fast. The amount of semi truck traffic has
had a noticeable increase already and most of the new warehouses don’t appear to be completed as of yet. We have
residential land to the South of our neighborhood but we are on the North edge of the residential if you change the
zoning across Northern from us.

If warehouses are built directly across Northern ave, that would have to lower our property value. | have not done any
type of research regarding residential property values near warehouse districts but if 1 was looking for a home and saw a
busy warehouse across the street from the neighborhood, | would not consider buying that home. If the area remains
zoned for residential, | think our property value would be enhanced. We have a wonderful, quiet neighborhood of acre
lots and nice homes.

Please do not rezone for warehouses. The area along Loop 303 is already being flooded with new warehouses. Let us
keep our little area as residential.

Thank you,
Art and Jody Gurnsey

Hello Brenda,

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. The notification letter covers a 300 ft radius from the property line of
the subject site case. | believe | have our information on the mailing list. Is it Jerry & Brenda Kirkpatrick at 16114 West
Lane Avenue in Litchfield Park? If so, you should have received a letter by mail. Nonetheless, |am pleased to know
surrounding property owners are sharing information with other property owners. The City will have the site posted on
May 25th, which is another approach to ensuring property owners are aware of forthcoming hearing dates.

If non-residential development abuts residential development, a minimum of an eight (8) ft will is required. | will doubt-
check the case file to ensure this language is clearly stated in the PAD. | appreciate you expressing your concern and
suggesting a migration option to help address your concern.

Hello Dacia,

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. The Zoning Ordinance requires notification letters to be sent to a
300ft radius from the property line of the subject site. The deadline to provide input allows a minimum of 10 days for
individuals to give feedback and ask questions. The rezoning request still will need to be heard before Planning
Commission and City Council for approval. Your address is beyond the 300 ft radius requirement, so the notice was not
sent to your address.

However, | am pleased to know those who are within the 300 ft radius and received a notice letter are communicating
with other property owners.

Once again, thank you for sharing your perspective.

Subject: Woolf Crossing PAD resining

Hello,

My name is Dacia Ketterer and | live at 16223 W Lane Ave which is directly across from the Woolf Crossing PAD area that
will be up for rezoning from residential to industrial lots. One huge issue | have is that our neighborhood never got the
letter sent about this rezoning and we are RIGHT across the damn street!!! Oh and top it off we only have under 2 weeks
to say something?? Had | not seen this on the Clearwater Farms Facebook page | never would have known. Tell me how
that is fair? Of course you won’t get any opposition when the ones most affected aren’t even informed. Clearwater
Farms is west of this planned area so not sure why they even got the letter in the first place. But | digress...

| oppose this rezone greatly. | would rather see homes and a school instead of more huge, blocky industrial buildings.
Our little farming community is being boxed in on all sides by industrial buildings. We moved here for the quiet and
peace and views. It is bad enough we have to deal with a casino on the opposite corner from our beloved zoo being
built. The pollution from idling trucks as well as the industrial “waste” is a detriment to our rapidly declining country
lifestyle. This is a small neighborhood of families who worked hard to afford to have our small piece of heaven and it is a
disgrace that greedy hands are dipping into the pot on this side of the valley and destroying our quiet, calm lives in favor
of big city rubbish.

Home values will plummet once we become an “island” amidst the concrete and trucks and we will all lose our one
piece of financial hope once we are forced to move on to get away from all this Glendale greed and garbage.

Re: ZON21-11; Woolf Crossing PAD Amendment (APN: 501-48-009, 501-48-008, 501-48-007)
Dear Ms. Perry

Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the Woolf Crossing PAD
Amendment. This application proposes an amendment to the current Woolf Crossing PAD to
eliminate 657 single-family residential lots, an elementary school, and a neighborhood park and
allow commercial and/or light industrial development to better align with the Luke Compatible
Land Use designation. The amendment proposes development standards that include a
maximum building height of 100 feet. The 329-acre site is located south of Olive Ave, midway
between Reems Rd and SR 303 in Glendale, AZ. It sits from I mile outside to bordering the
Luke AFB 1988 JLUS 65 DNL “high noise or accident potential zone” as identified by
A.R.S. §28-8461 and is within the “territory in the vicinity of a military airport” defined by
A.R.S. §28-8461.

In previous correspondence, Case 4DMP 2005001, Z2005002, dated 27 Jan 2005
(attached), we acknowledge that the original Woolf Crossing PAD called for residential adjacent
to the 65 DNL noise contour. After reviewing the requested PAD amendment, it shows that the
City of Glendale planners have worked collaboratively with developers to eliminate the
residential inside Parcels C thru J of the proposed PAD; Luke AFB greatly appreciates this effort
and support. Additionally, Luke recognizes this Woolf Crossing PAD Amendment and any
potential for future residential units as one entire development area.

Subject to the results of an FAA Obstruction Analysis Evaluation; this request, as
described in the narrative, should not negatively impact the flying operations at Luke AFB. The
submitted FAA Form 7460-1 by the developer for any permanent structures, equipment used
during construction and a RADAR analysis will need to be fully evaluated and cleared by all
commenting parties to ensure there is no mission impact. Additionally, any production that
would release substances into the air that would impair visibility or otherwise interfere with
