The Capistrano (fka Nirvana at Zanjero) 
Minor General Plan Amendment and PAD Rezoning Application 
INTRODUCTION 
On behalf of Nirvana at Zanjero, LLC Tiffany & Bosco, P.A. submits this Citizen 
Participation Report in association with the proposed applications for The Capistrano 
Minor General Plan Amendment and PAD rezoning application for the approximately 7.5 
acre property generally located northwest of the northwest corner of 91st Ave. and 
Glendale Ave. at 7410 N. Zanjero Blvd., Glendale, Arizona 85305 (the “Property”). The 
Property is identified by the Maricopa County Assessors as Parcel Number 142-56-033. 
The development team understands the importance of reaching out to the City and key 
stakeholders to discuss the project and ensure that positive relationships are created 
with citizens, property owners, business owners, homeowner’s associations, and other 
interested parties. Therefore, the development team sent notification letters to affected 
neighbors, interested parties, and impacted school districts.

OUTREACH REPORT
In accordance with the preceding Citizen Participation Plan, the Applicant sent 
notification letters to affected neighbors, interested parties, and impacted school 
districts. The Applicant contacted the Raymond S. Kellis High School and the Sun Valley 
Elementary School on August 24, 2021. The schools were given until September 1, 2021 
to complete the certificate of adequate school facilities and were told if no response was 
received by September 1, 2021, the development team would assume the schools could 
accommodate the proposed development. To date, we have not received a response 
from either school. 
The attached Notification Letter with exhibits, dated September 10, 2021, was sent to 
property owners located within 300’ of the Property and to those parties on the 
Citywide and Yucca District outreach contact list, as provided by staff. The Notification 
Letters informed recipients of the application and delineated how to contact the 
development team or City staff with comments or questions.

Neighborhood Meeting 
The City of Glendale (the “City) staff determined a neighborhood meeting was not 
required. Therefore, the development team did not hold a neighborhood meeting. 
However, 
the 
development 
team 
maintained 
constant 
communication 
with 
Councilmember Joyce Clark’s office, City staff, and relevant parties. 
Ongoing Communications 
To date, the development team has received correspondences from two interested 
parties. Each correspondence took the form of comments regarding area traffic, the 
City’s General Plan, wanting single family homes in the area. The development team 
took into consideration the comments, but felt they have been addressed with the 
Application Traffic Study and explanations of the proposed project. Nonetheless, the 
development team will continue to engage with the community and will answer any 
questions received from the community. 
CONCLUSION
Each Citizen Participation and Outreach requirement set forth by the City Zoning 
Ordinance has been met. As stated above, should any additional commentary be 
received, we will promptly provide it to the City. We are committed to addressing and 
understanding any issue that may arise from the proposal, therefore, an open dialogue 
will continue.

RE: 
Nirvana at Zanjero; Proposed Minor General Plan Amendment and PAD 
Rezoning (Application #’s GPA21-10 and ZON21-25) 
Dear Neighbor:   
Our firm filed an application request # GPA21-10 and ZON 21-25 on behalf of Nirvana at Zanjero, 
LLC in association with proposed applications for a Minor General Plan Amendment and PAD 
Rezone the approximately 7.5 acre property generally located northwest of the northwest corner 
of 91st Ave. and Glendale Ave. at 7410 N. Zanjero Blvd., Glendale, Arizona 85305 (the 
“Property”). The Property is identified by the Maricopa County Assessors as Parcel Number 142-
56-033.
The proposal is to amend the General Plan from Corporate Commerce Center (CCC) to 
Entertainment Mixed Use (EMU) and to rezone the property from the existing Zanjero PAD to 
the Nirvana at Zanjero PAD to allow for approximately 42 du/acres (See attached aerial map and 
conceptual site plan). The approval of these Application will allow for the development of 
approximately 314 dwelling units on the Property, which will include repurposing the existing 
3-story building on the Property to be used for a multifamily residential uses, constructing new
four-story buildings along the Property’s western and northern boundaries, and programming
new amenities for residents into the overall development. Additionally, limited commercial uses
would be allowed as part of the development, as the market dictates.
The development team understands the importance of working with the City, our neighbors, and 
key stakeholders to discuss the project and ensure that positive relationships are created with 
citizens, property owners, business owners, homeowners associations, and other interested 
parties.  
We anticipate that hearings before the Glendale Planning Commission and Glendale City Council 
will be scheduled by City staff in the future. You should receive a subsequent mailing identifying 
the date and location of those hearings when they are scheduled. A copy of the entire Application 
and revised narrative containing the complete details of this request are on file with the City of 
Glendale Planning Department and can be viewed by contacting Alex Lerma with the City of 
Glendale at (623) 930-2810. 
I would be happy to answer any questions or hear any concerns that you many have regarding 
this proposal. If you have any questions, please email or call me at (602) 452-2712 or 
sta@tblaw.com.  
Sincerely, 
Shaine T. Alleman

No I am not if favor of 314 units when the traffic on Glendale  Ave and 91 st ave already has traffic
congestion and  thousand units are not even occupied.  We
need better restaurants and commercial development or be known as Apartment City.  Almost every
notice I receive the applicant is wanting to change the General Plan so why even have a Plan to be
changed.

This is a terrible idea, have you ever been on the Cardinal raceway at 5 PM, do we not have enough congestion with
the current build outs and the stadium?
We need to stay as a single family detached home area, and maintain our hard earned values.
Please listen to our requests.
Thank you in advance,
