April 29, 2021 Superintendent Cindy Segotta-Jones Glendale Elementary School District 7301 N. 58th Avenue Glendale, Arizona 85301 RE: Proposed new 122-home Single-Family Residential project. East of the southeast corner of Northern Avenue and 80th Drive alignment Zoning case Number: ZON21-07 Dear Superintendent Segotta-Jones: This letter is being sent to you pursuant to the City of Glendale Planning Department Adequate School Facilities notification policy for zoning classification changes. Please be advised that we are applying for an Annexation, General Plan Amendment, and Zoning change, for a +/- 24-acre property located east of the southeast corner of Northern Avenue and 80th Drive alignment (see attached Aerial location map). The subject property is mostly vacant and is identified in the Maricopa County Recorder’s office by Assessor’s Parcel Numbers: 142-25-008Z, 142-25-009, 142-25-010, 142-25-011, 142-25-012, 142-25-013, 142-25-014, 142-25-015, 142-25- 016 and 142-25-017. Three requests are being filed together. The first request seeks Annexation of five parcels into the City of Glendale (APNs: 142-25-009, 142-25-011, 142-25-013, 142-25-015 and 142-25-017). The annexation of these five parcels and the five parcels already in the City of Glendale will allow the development of this approximate 24-acre site to be served by the City of Glendale. The second request seeks a Minor General Plan Amendment (“GPA”) to change the existing LDR 2.5 du/ac (“Low Density Residential 1 - 2.5 dwelling units per acre”) land use designation to the MDR 5 du/ac (“Medium Density Residential 3.5 – 5.0 dwelling units per acre”) land use designation. The third companion request seeks to rezone the approximate 24-acre site from the current R1-6 PRD (“Single Residence, Planned Residential Development”) and the anticipated R1-6 zoning (upon annexation) to R1-4 PRD overlay (“Single Residence, Planned Residential Development”) The project will be known as Ambra. Ambra would be a new 122-lot single-family residential community, with lot sizes being a minimum of 4,800 square feet. The proposed development will have a maximum gross density of 4.93 dwelling units per acre. As required per the above Planning Department policy, please find an aerial location map, site plan, and Certification of Adequate School Facilities Form enclosed.
