1. Project Description. 
 
a. General Description of the Property. 
The property includes approximately 
9.40 gross acres of vacant land, commonly known and numbered as Parcels 200-
51-953A, 200-51-953B, and 200-51-952B.  This property is generally located at 
the northeast corner of 67th Avenue and Greenway Road, as shown below: 
 
 
 
b. Surrounding Zoning. 
The property is zoned R-3, except for the parcel at 
the immediate intersection corner (Parcel 200-51-953B) which is currently zoned 
C-2.  At the present time, the property is vacant and undeveloped. Properties to 
the immediate north and east are zoned R1-6 and developed with single 
residential units as part of Granada Estates, Units 3.  Properties at the southeast 
corner of the intersection are zoned C-1 and developed as a convenience store and 
R1-4 and developed for single family residential uses. The southwest quadrant of 
the intersection is development for single family residential land uses, all of 
which are zoned R1-6.  Parcels at the northwest corner of the intersection are well 
developed with various commercia/retail uses, with all the lands being zoned C-2.  
A zoning map of the area is provided below.

c. Current General Plan Designation. 
As shown on the Envision Glendale 
2040 General Plan Land Use Map below, the land use for most of the Property is 
designated as HDR 20 (12-20 du/ac), with only the corner parcel having a Land 
Use designation of GC (General Commercial). 
 
 
 
d. Proposed Development. 
The Applicant is proposing to develop the entire 
property as a multifamily development under a single lot configuration and to be 
used as a residential rental community.  The multifamily development will 
include 182 residential units located in twelve (12) separate buildings within a 
private, gated community. The residential buildings will be design as 2-story an 3-
story structures, along with 2-story carriage units along the eastern boundary line 
of the property.  The proposed residential units will include a mixture of studio, 1 
bedroom, and 2 bedroom units.  Ample surface parking will be provided

throughout the development for tenant and guest use, with the carriage units 
providing private garages for the use of those tenants. The parking areas have 
been located throughout the property to act as partial buffer and setback areas to 
the existing residential developments to the north. The development will provide 
paved vehicular access from both Greenway Road and 67th Avenue to facilitate 
adequate private party and emergency vehicle access to the project.  Additionally, 
the development will provide a large community area and leasing office near the 
north-central portion of the project as an amenity to the residents.   
 
e. Specific Planning Request - Minor General Plan Amendment for the 
Commercial Corner and Rezoning to an R-5 Zoning District. So 
as 
to 
accommodate the unique development challenges for this parcel, the Applicant is 
requesting a Minor General Plan Amendment amending the General Plan 
designation for corner parcel only to HDR20 (12-20 du/ac) to bring this corner 
parcel into land use conformity with the remainder of the property.  Concurrently 
the Applicant is requesting a Rezoning of the Property to an R-5 zoning 
designation to obtain the required entitlements for the development of the 
property with the proposed multifamily development.  The requested Rezoning is 
appropriate to allow for the development of a long-vacant parcel, to provide for 
new and more diverse housing choices for the local community and to provide for 
a more aesthetically pleasing and desirable development for this parcel as a 
benefit to the surrounding residentially developed lands.

notification letter is the most appropriate method of public notification for this project.  A
