APPROVED 20 JAN 2022 City of Glendale Planning Division 5111 North Scottsdale Road, Suite 260 • Scottsdale, AZ 85250 • (602) 957-3434 • FAX: (602) 955-4505 • Email: info@technicalsolutionsaz.com Community Involvement The outreach team has communicated with neighboring property owners, HOA’s, business owners, and community members by telephone, one-on- one meetings, door-to-door outreach, and group meetings since August 2021. Members of the outreach team have been continually available to meet with any neighbors who wished to discuss the project. They also have been contactable via telephone and/or e-mail to answer any questions relating to the project. Prior to the Neighborhood Open House, the outreach team visited over 250 nearby residential neighbors to get their feedback on the project. A majority of this feedback was favorable to this proposal. The major concern from the nearby residents revolved around potential traffic on 89th Avenue and a desire for the street not to connect through from Glendale Avenue. The development team met with City Staff and revised the project to address this concern. Surrounding property owners, HOAs and other interested parties were noticed via first class mail regarding the project. The distribution of this notification met the City’s 300’ radius mailing requirements as specified in the Citizen Participation Process packet. This notification contained information about the project, as well as contact information for the development team to provide additional information and the opportunity to give feedback. The notification also contained information regarding a Virtual Neighborhood Open House for those who wished to learn more about the project. The Virtual Open House provided a detailed description and visuals for the project as well as an opportunity for neighbors to provide comments/questions by phone or by email to the development team. The website was available from Friday 11/19/21 through Tuesday 11/23/21. While the development team did not get any communication from neighbors during the Open House timeframe, one adjacent neighbor to the south reached out via phone call subsequent to the meeting. They had questions regarding heights of the buildings and, after all questions were addressed by the development team, were satisfied with the proposed plan. 5111 North Scottsdale Road, Suite 260 • Scottsdale, AZ 85250 • (602) 957-3434 • FAX: (602) 955-4505 • Email: info@technicalsolutionsaz.com A vital part of the outreach process is to allow people to express their concerns, understand issues, and attempt to address them in a professional and timely manner. Again, the entire team realizes the importance of the neighborhood involvement process and has been committed to communication and outreach for this project.
