Section 6.800 Glendale Centerline Overlay District. 6.801 Purpose. The Overlay District provides an alternate set of development requirements to encourage development and redevelopment within the Glendale Centerline. The intent is to facilitate private business investment, job creation, and the development of shopping and recreational opportunities in the Glendale Centerline. The Overlay District will facilitate a development review process that supports economic development initiatives, creates flexible development standards to support development or redevelopment of small and irregular parcels of land; will employ strategies to balance the protection of existing neighborhoods with new development; recognizes that distinct districts may be identified in the Glendale Centerline and provides the flexibility to implement unique development standards in each district; allows certain land uses to support investment and opportunity; and, prohibits certain land uses which may otherwise inhibit investment and improvement of individual properties. Because it is the intent of the Overlay District to provide an alternative set of land uses and development standards in addition to the land uses and development standards within the existing zoning districts, the land uses and development standards shall serve only as an alternative to the existing land uses and development standards and shall not be combined with any land uses or development standards in the existing zoning district. At the pre-application meeting with the City's Development Review Team, the property owner can decide to meet all conditions of the property's existing zoning or choose to meet all conditions of the property's Overlay District. Should development of property occur under the Overlay District any and all requirement of the underlying zoning district are superseded in the approval of development according to the Overlay District. No combination of existing zoning and Overlay District land uses and/or development standards shall be permitted. It is important to remember that the property owner may continue to utilize the existing zoning within the Glendale Centerline boundaries unless the Overlay District is selected. The Overlay District is intended to be applied only in the Glendale Centerline, and as such is not appropriate to be approved outside of the geographic area bounded by Myrtle Avenue on the north, 43rd Avenue on the east, Ocotillo Road on the south, and 67th Avenue on the west.
