I. Introduction 
 
Diversified Partners, LLC (the “Developer”) is requesting a minor General Plan Amendment (GPA) 
and rezoning of approximately 3.71± acres of property on the southwest corner of 75th Avenue and 
Bethany Home Road (the “Property”). In addition to their minor GPA request from Office to General 
Commercial, they seek to rezone the Property from Commercial Office (“C-O”) to Neighborhood 
Commercial (“C-1”).  Lastly, the Developer is submitting for simultaneous Design Review for a project 
known as “Shops at 75th” which is being reviewed separately. An aerial map has been provided (see 
Exhibit 1 – Aerial Map) to show location and contextual reference. This will be a new commercial 
plaza with commercial uses (the “Project”). 
 
The site plan (see Exhibit 2 - Site Plan) details the layout of the overall commercial center; two (2) 
new ingress points will be constructed on 75th Avenue and one (1) ingress point will be constructed 
on Bethany Home Road.  This site plan has been modified from the pre-app site plan to 
accommodate citizen input and staff input.  The access on Bethany Home Road has been modified 
to the suggestions made by city staff in the pre-application process (taper is being moved west).  
Significant improvements are required along 75th Avenue.  The entire half street, curb, gutter, 
sidewalk and landscaping will need to be constructed.  Most of this construction will take place in the 
ROW to be dedicated to the City of Glendale.  In addition to the significant and cumbersome half 
street improvements, Developer will “underground and pipe” the SRP irrigation channels that 
currently exist on the Property. 
 
The undeveloped property is comprised of Maricopa County Assessor’s parcel number 102-07-
001C. 
 
The City of Glendale in conjunction with the Arizona Cardinals real estate developers recently 
connected Cardinals Way to Bethany Home Road. The intent of this road connection is two-fold; 
first, alleviate stadium traffic from the Arizona Cardinals stadium and second, to bring employment 
opportunities and tax revenues to an area that was being underutilized.   The recent completion of 
Cardinals way to Bethany Home Road (immediately adjacent on the north side of this property) has 
caused Bethany Home Road to become a vital, major arterial connector to the west portion of the 
City of Glendale.  Increased traffic on Bethany Home Road to the entertainment districts to the west, 
along with the new residential communities to the west, makes this parcel highly suitable for 
commercial uses and aligns with the City of Glendale’s goals when it made the decision to connect 
Cardinal way to Bethany Home Road.

III. Minor General Plan Amendment Request 
 
Envision Glendale 2040 (the “General Plan”), adopted September 30, 2016, designates the Property 
as Office (“OFC”) (see Exhibit 4 – General Plan Map). The Office designation provides sites for 
professional offices and associated office support services that are generally quiet with low to 
moderate traffic volumes.  Office sites are to be integrated, through design and siting, with adjacent 
residential and commercial activities.   With the recent completion of the Cardinals Way road 
connection to Bethany Home Road, this site now will have increased traffic and connectivity that 
makes it compatible for commercial development on these high traffic arterials. With the increased 
traffic numbers the OFC option becomes a minor option for a hard corner on, what will be, a main 
intersection in the City of Glendale. Because of this increased traffic, the highest and best use for 
the Property is a commercial C-1 designation that would allow for a variety of businesses to operate 
on the Property.  The intent of Neighborhood Commercial is to address on a limited basis the needs 
of the surrounding residential development by providing goods and services generally described as 
convenience goods and services. The district is intended for smaller scale uses from retail 
commercial, personal services, business services, and professional and administrative offices. 
Businesses which might create a nuisance to the immediate residential area are excluded even 
though the goods and services they sell might be in the convenience classification. 
 
According to the General Plan, changes from OFC to GC on development projects of less than 20 
acres located east of 83rd Avenue may be done as a minor amendment.  
 
The map excerpt below shows the site in context of the larger municipal area.

The Planning Department prefers that minor general plan amendments be requested in conjunction 
with a concurrent rezoning, so it is the intent of the Developer to process the minor General Plan 
Amendment with the C-1 rezoning request. 
 
The requested change will have a substantial positive impact on the citizens of Glendale. The 
property is zoned Commercial Office so it should be noted that the public was already anticipating 
commercial uses on this land.  In addition, the Developer has completed a citizen participation plan 
which included a neighborhood meeting.  We provided proper notification to surrounding owners and 
interested parties as directed by the City of Glendale.  We had one neighbor attend the meeting and 
she strongly supports the project.  Prior to this re-submittal, Glendale staff requested that we send 
out an additional notification letter to the neighbors asking for additional input.  We received 4 new 
inquiries (detailed in the CPP final report).  
 
Amendments to the General Plan of the City of Glendale shall be approved only after making the 
two following findings: 
 
a. 
The amendment is consistent with the policies and objectives of the General Plan; and 
b. 
The amendment furthers the public health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of 
Glendale. 
 
We find that this minor GPA request is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan 
specifically as follows: 
 
• 
Land Use Element Goal LU-1, Policy LU-1.1: Development is guided by sound growth 
management; the City shall ensure that sufficient infrastructure is in place for desired land 
uses. There is adequate infrastructure surrounding the Site with 75rd Ave and Bethany Home Road 
both major thoroughfares, located adjacent to the Site. 
 
• 
Land Use Element Goal LU-2, Policy LU-2.4: There are transition and buffer areas 
between unrelated land uses; The City shall ensure that adequate buffers between residential 
and nonresidential uses are included, except in cases where the residential is a part of a 
mixed‐use development where it relates to the adjacent use. There are building setbacks and 
planned lush landscape buffer areas between the school field area to the west and the working farm 
to the South.

7 | P a g e 
 
 
 
• 
Land Use Element Goal LU-5, Policy LU-5.2: Glendale implements a cohesive land 
planning approach throughout the Municipal Planning Area; The City shall prioritize the 
proactive implementation of area and specific plans to provide enhanced guidance on the 
development of areas. There is adequate infrastructure surrounding the Site with 75th Avenue & 
Bethany Home Road, both major arterials, located adjacent to the Site. 
 
• 
Circulation Element (C) Policy C-5.3 The City shall promote and support timely and 
appropriate development adjacent to major transportation corridors. The Site sits at the 
southwest corner of 75th Avenue & Bethany Home Road. Bethany Home road was recently extended 
to connect to Cardinals Way (in 2020).  It is a new transportation corridor that will provide superb 
connectivity to the entertainment and stadium districts to the west. Improvements to Bethany Home 
Road and 75th Avenue will be completed with this Project, therefore supporting the City’s policy of 
time and appropriate development adjacent to major transportation corridors. 
 
• 
Policy C-8.3 The City shall require new development to provide adequate connectivity to 
existing transportation networks. The Site lies on both 75th Avenue and Bethany Home Road 
(which transitions into Cardinals Way). Drivers can access the Agua Fria Freeway (Loop 101) to the 
West and Grand Avenue (US 60) to the East.  Therefore, the proposed development will provide 
excellent connectivity to existing transportation networks. 
 
• 
Public Health and Safety Element (S) Policy S-2.7 The City shall require that new 
development provide adequate access for emergency vehicles, particularly firefighting 
equipment, and evacuation routes, as appropriate. The Site will have access points on both 
Bethany Home Road and 75th Avenue. Drive aisles through the site will be designed to accommodate 
the standards of the local fire department, emergency services, and Public Works vehicles. 
 
• 
Policy S-7.3 The City shall encourage crime prevention and defensible space through 
design principles (CPTED). All phases of development will include well-lit, highly visible parking 
and activity areas to ensure the safety of patrons and employees alike. The proposed lighting and 
landscaping of the site will be reviewed through the Site Plan Review process. 
 
• 
Environmental Planning Element (EP) Policy EP-9.3 The City should encourage 
developers to provide site design and landscaping elements that will reduce energy use and 
mitigate urban heat island effects. As a part of the development of the Project, site plans and 
landscape plans will be reviewed by the City of Glendale. The designers will ensure that the Site’s 
designs incorporate adequate elements in order to reduce energy use in buildings. 
 
• 
Neighborhood Preservation and Revitalization Element (NPR) Policy NPR-1.1 The City 
shall exemplify pride in neighborhood character and community appearance through 
landscape themes and property maintenance. As a part of the Site’s development, the developers 
will prepare detailed site plans, building plans, and landscaping plans for the City of Glendale’s 
approval. The designers will take into account the existing designs in the neighborhood in an effort 
to stay true to the neighborhood’s character. Furthermore, the Site will be well maintained by individual 
owners for the center. This new development promotes the public health and safety by providing a 
safe space for Glendale residents to dine and shop in as opposed to the current vacant land which 
could be a blight for citizens to look at and potentially dangerous to come onto due the SRP irrigation 
channels that are located on the property.  
 
 
• 
Fiscal Element (F) Policy F-4.1 The City shall encourage new development to provide 
assurances that adequate public safety standards will be met. The development on the Site will 
include new, modern buildings built to current building and fire codes adopted by the City of 
Glendale. Site design, access, and driveway standards will meet all current code requirements for 
emergency service access to the site.

8 | P a g e 
 
 
 
 
• 
Conservation, Rehabilitation and Redevelopment Element (CRR) Policy CRR-1.5 The City 
shall direct specific redevelopment efforts to areas of visual blight. The Site consists of a large 
vacant dirt lot.  Several surface irrigation channels and large mounds of dirt are on the site. Such 
visual blight will be improved by the proposed development. There will be fresh, new buildings, 
attractive landscaping and architectural diversity throughout the development. The changes will 
improve the site’s attractiveness to the community while providing useful services. 
 
• 
Policy CRR-2.1 The City shall encourage and support infill development to take 
advantage of existing infrastructure, community and educational facilities, and enhance 
existing neighborhoods. The proposed development of the Site is infill development that will take 
advantage of existing infrastructure and enhance existing neighborhoods. The development will 
enhance the area’s infrastructure by completing adjacent arterial roadway improvements and 
sidewalks that will be enjoyed by the greater community at large. 
 
• 
Goal CRR-3 Underutilized properties are redeveloped and reused. The Site is a great 
example of an underutilized property in need of development and service to surrounding 
neighborhoods. It is currently vacant and provides no benefit to the neighborhood or the City of 
Glendale. Development of the Property for commercial services will benefit the community because 
it will create jobs, provide entertainment, service and shopping options and complete public 
infrastructure. 
 
• 
Economic Development Element (ED) Policy ED-2.1 The City shall examine zoning and 
develop a strategy to encourage appropriate zoning for areas that would be well-suited for 
future development. The City has the opportunity now for the owners of this property to develop 
with both a land use designation (and zoning) to facilitate the development of a small shopping center 
that includes site and roadway infrastructure. 
 
• 
Bicycling and Pedestrian Element (BP) Policy BP-1.5 The City shall encourage business 
to provide facilities for customers and visitors, thereby encouraging bicycle use and making 
bicycling safe, convenient and enjoyable. The Project will be providing bicycle racks so that 
patrons and employees that chose to bike will have the convenience of securing them onsite.  
 
• 
Conservation of Resources Element (CON) Policy CON-1.3 The City shall encourage the 
use of native plans and inclusion of trees that can enhance shade and reduction of heat island 
effect in developed areas. The landscape plan will detail plant varieties found on the Arizona 
Department of Water Resources (ADWR) “Low Water Use / Drought Tolerant Plant Lists for the 
Phoenix Active Management Area (AMA).  
 
• 
Environmental Planning (EP) Policy EP-7.1 The City shall incorporate noise mitigation 
strategies into land use and development plans, such as… transitional buffers between high 
noise land uses and more noise sensitive uses. This minor GPA request, in conjunction with the 
companion C-1 zoning request will use landscaping and building setbacks to achieve noise 
mitigation. 
 
 
Through this list, which details a strong consistency with the policies and objectives of the General 
Plan, we also find the Project furthers the public health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of 
Glendale. The Project will provide a solution to immediate public infrastructure needs 
(roadway/sidewalk improvements) while adequately buffering adjacent development and bringing 
needed goods and services to the surrounding community.

IV. General Commercial Rezoning Request 
 
The C-O zoning on the Property was approved with case number Z-00-27.  It is important to note 
that the public had been anticipating Commercial Office uses for this parcel.  The property was never 
developed with office uses and remains vacant as a blight.  With the rezoning adjustment to General 
Commercial, the surrounding neighborhood will absorb vital services needed in the area, especially 
due to the new connectivity of Bethany Home Road to Cardinals Way.  The public will still be 
receiving commercial uses on the property as they anticipated. The Property will be thoughtfully 
designed and will benefit the City of Glendale and residents in the surrounding neighborhoods. 
Further, the inclusion of service-related uses is important because, unlike retail uses which are 
quickly being replaced by online shopping, services will remain  important to consumers. 
 
This request for rezoning is required to demonstrate compatibility with four findings in order to be 
supported for approval.  These include the following: 
 
A. The amendment is consistent with the policies and objectives of the Glendale General Plan 
B. The proposed amendment furthers the public health, safety and general welfare of the 
citizens of Glendale; and 
C. Zoning Map Amendments shall include conditions necessary to mitigate any adverse impacts 
on businesses, persons, or properties adjacent to the Property; and 
D. A finding is made that there are adequate school facilities, if the amendment is to the 
official Zoning Map, and if Section 3.812 (Adequate School facilities) is applicable.  Please 
note that this finding is not applicable to this zoning case due to this being a non residential 
rezoning (Finding D). 
 
Through the companion minor General Plan Amendment case, the proposed rezoning case makes 
the same findings as considered for the proposed land use designation change to General 
Commercial (Finding A). The details of the zoning case make specific considerations for ensuring 
that public health, safety and general welfare for Glendale citizens. These include (Finding B): 
 
1)  Right-of-way dedications and improvements, deceleration lanes for safe travel in and out 
of the site 
2) Landscape buffering to beautify the site and reduce noise, visual appearance, and urban 
heat island 
3) Architectural design and signage that will ensure quality development for the community 
4) The applicant will work with the City staff to detail conditions of approval that mitigate any 
further concerns related to the development’s impact on the community (Finding C). 
 
 
 
A. Site Planning & Layout 
The Project will include right-of-way dedications on 75th Avenue and these half-streets will be 
improved with the development.  There are several SRP irrigation channels on the east side and 
north side of the property that will be “piped and undergrounded” per SRP to create a visually 
appealing corner vs the vacant blight that exists today. 
 
The parcel is irregularly shaped and the north entrance to the project will be as far west as possible 
to mitigate potential conflicts with the intersection.  We anticipate 2 ingress/egress points on 75th 
Avenue.

10 | P a g e 
V. Conclusion
As described in the preceding text, the Applicant’s proposal for the minor GPA, C-1 and Design 
Review requests is consistent with the goals and policies of Glendale’s 2040 General Plan, Zoning 
Ordinance and overall development objectives. The Property’s site plan has been specifically 
designed to provide adequate buffering to adjacent uses, safe pedestrian and vehicular access and 
circulation.  The Project will provide needed commercial services and convenience for nearby 
neighborhoods and businesses. For these beneficial reasons, the Applicant, Developer and Owner 
believe that these requests should be approved.
