Service Request:  SR-23-0293  
Applicant:  Jack Gilmore / GPLA 
 
REPORT 
Total Individuals Notified: 9 surrounding property owners plus 42 interested parties  
Total Participants: 51 
 
1. 
CONCERNS, ISSUES, PROBLEMS EXPRESSED 
There was only one neighbor that called our office, Mr. Audie McDaniel who is a resident on 
the property immediately south, 7906 N Alsup Ave.  Mr. McDaniel expressed his concern 
regarding the condition of the existing wood fence along his north property line in common 
with Puda’s property.  When the SUP and MCP overlays were approved approximately 10 
years ago, the installation of a screen wall was required and the wood fence approved and 
installed.  In a follow up discussion with Jim Puda, property owner, it was confirmed that the 
wood fence would be repaired, and the three storage trailers would be removed.   
2. 
HOW CONCERNS WILL BE ADDRESSED 
During this initial call with Mr. McDaniel, I reviewed the intent for these three applications and 
that Mr. Puda has interested users inquiring about acquisition and development of the 
property.  Inherent in the City of Glendale’s design review will be a requirement to satisfy the 
commercial development standards that will require a 6’ minimum CMU screen wall as well as 
a landscape buffer of trees along the common property line.  This seemed to mitigate the 
initial concern.  Since that call on January 21st, Mr. Puda has repaired the wood fence and the 
trailers have been removed.   
3. 
CONCERNS APPLICANT IS UNWILLING TO ADDRESS 
There are no concerns expressed that the Applicant / Property Owner is not willing to 
address. 
4. 
HOW THE PROPOSAL HAS BEEN REVISED TO ADDRESS CONCERNS 
Other than the repairs to the existing south fence, there are no other concerns that have 
impacted these three applications. 
Evan, please call with any questions.

RE: 
Notification Letter for Rezoning 
15901 W. Northern Ave  
Dear Property Owner/ Interested Party: 
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that our office, Gilmore Planning & Landscape Architecture (GPLA), has been 
retained by Puda Properties 1, LLC (Property Owner) to assist with preparing and filing a Minor General Plan 
Amendment and Rezoning application with the City of Glendale for 2.6 acres located at the southwest corner of W 
Northern Ave and N Alsup Ave.  These applications are being processed in conjunction with a request to annex this 
property (Case No AN-260) into the City of Glendale.  The rezoning will amend the current County RU-43 (one acre 
residential), to General Commercial C-2.  Please refer to the enclosed Aerial Location Map.  The County Assessor 
identifies this single parcel as 501-49-007J.  There is no specific future user at this time, and therefore no proposed 
site plan.  The rezoning application is intended to establish the commercial C-2 zoning with the understanding that 
future Site Plan Approval will be required to satisfy City development standards.   
This property is located approximately 1.4 miles northwest of Luke AFB.  The southeast portion, approximately 1.5 
acres is within their 65Ldn noise contour.  The presence of this noise contour restricts any residential development, 
but commercial and office uses have received preliminary support from Luke AFB.   
We are planning a ‘virtual’ neighborhood meeting that will take place on February 7th at 6:00pm.  The link to 
attend is https://us06web.zoom.us/j/3736560634.  Comments and questions will be encouraged and accepted 
at this time.  You may call me; Jack Gilmore at 602-266-5622, or send letters to me at 2211 N. 7th Street, Phoenix, 
AZ 85006, or send e-mails to jgilmore@getgilmore.com.  If you are unable to attend, please write, e-mail, or 
call me at the above information.   
Please feel free to provide any comments or questions regarding the rezoning application related to commercial land 
use, buffers, or the development standards.  Evan Evangelopoulos, senior planner, with the City can be reached at 
(602) 930-3071, or by e-mail at EEvangelopoulos@GLENDALEAZ.com, should you have any questions regarding 
Citizen participation process only.  There will be subsequent notification and signs will be placed on the property when 
the Public Hearings are scheduled.    
We look forward to your shared interest.  
Respectfully,
