RE: 
Zoning Case: ZON23-08 75th & Glendale Retail Center Planned Area 
Development Amendment 
 
Dear Shadow Run Property Owner: 
 
This letter is to inform and serves as an additional notification that SimonCRE JC 
Tucker IV, LLC, owners and developers of the property located at the southeast corner 
of 75th Avenue and Glendale Avenue, have submitted a formal application to amend the 
existing Planned Area Development to modify the sites development requirements. 
 
Per the existing Planned Area Development, the site landscape and screening 
requirements mirror those of the General Commercial (C-2) zoning district. Section 
7.200 of the Zoning Ordinance requires commercial and industrial zoned properties 
abutting residential zoned properties to locate an 8-foot wall along abutting property 
line. Based on this requirement, the developer is required to locate an 8-foot wall on the 
east and south property boundaries of the commercial development, which will be 
located adjacent to your property’s rear property 6-foot wall. The 8-foot wall serves to 
mitigate and buffer noise and any other negative impact produced by the adjacent 
development.  
 
Keep in mind that the 75th & Glendale Retail Center is close to completing site 
development. The site has several pads in operation including O’Reilly Auto Parts, 
Black Rock Coffee, Wendy’s and a multi-unit commercial building. The remaining 
pending project is a Goodwill center, located at the southeast corner of the retail center 
with a drop-off area on the east side of the building.  
  
Through the recently submitted Planned Area Development Amendment, SimonCRE JC 
Tucker IV, LLC, is requesting to modify the 8-foot wall screening requirement based on 
the challenges they face of locating an 8-foot wall in close proximity to your existing rear 
property 6-foot wall. In place of the 8-foot wall, SimonCRE JC Tucker IV, LLC, is

proposing to enhance the landscape area along the existing southern and eastern
