I. Proposal Overview
Crow Holdings Industrial (the “Developer”) plan to develop an approximately
146.98-acre property located at the SEC of Glendale and Alsup Avenues and
will be adding a total of 8.65 acres to the project for a total of approximately
155.63-acres (the “Property”). This PAD Amendment is being provided to only
add land to the previously approved PAD. See Aerial and Vicinity Map
attached as Exhibit 1. This application requests approval of an amendment to
the previously approved Crow 303 AZ Planned Area Development (“PAD”) to
allow a combination of industrial distribution and warehouse uses. The
Applicant seeks to develop the Property in accordance with the Light
Industrial (M-1) zoning and modify development standards to create a state-
of-the-art industrial development nearby the expanding State Route 303 Loop
transportation corridor.
The newly added portion of land is planned to be used as truck parking for the
overall development to increase marketability of the project. The land being
added was in the process of being purchased when the original PAD was
approved and has been recently acquired by Crow Holdings. The only
changes to the PAD include this introductory paragraphs, the projects total
acres, the addition of a exhibit that describes the change in more detail, and
revisions to the prior exhibits to add the new land to those PAD exhibits.
The Property has been used for agricultural purposes for many years and is
unimproved with no buildings. State Route 303 Loop is one mile to the west of
the Glendale Avenue interchange. Glendale Avenue is the northern
boundary of the site. The site bound by Alsup Road on the west and partially
by Reems Road and Luke Air Force Base to the east. The southern boundary is
the Claremont Street Alignment. Rezoning the property to PAD for industrial
uses will permit the development of industrial and other uses which are
compatible with the City of Glendale General Plan Land Use designation of
Luke Compatible Land Use (LCLU). This land use designation complies with
state statute 28-8481 concerning land uses within the vicinity of a military
installation. Site design will provide further mitigations due to the unique
proximity to the runway for the air force base.
Most of the site is located within the Luke Air Force Base noise contours of 75
DNL and 80 DNL, a small portion is within the 70 DNL. Industrial land uses for
these properties are appropriate, considering the accident potential and
noise impacts from daily activities conducted on the base and due to the
proximity of the project to the runway.
As noted above, the property is 1-mile to the east of State Route 303 Loop,
along Glendale Avenue. The property is bounded by farmland with a similar
proposed Industrial warehouse development to the north and east of the
Crow 303 AZ
Planned Area Development Amendment
Glendale, Arizona
5
property. The site surround approximately 10 residential lots on three sides,
ranging in size from one to five acres. Farmland is to the west and south of the
site along Alsup Road and the west edge of the air force base. To the West is
also vacant farmland within Unincorporated Maricopa County. Luke Air Force
Base is adjacent to the southern portion of the site.
The Crow 303 AZ PAD is crafted to permit only uses which are compatible with
the mission of Luke Air Force Base, the City of Glendale General Plan, and
Arizona Revised Statutes for territory near a military airport. The Planned Area
Development regulations are tailored to the intended development.
II. Existing Zoning and General Plan
The property is currently outside of the City of Glendale and is within
Unincorporated Maricopa County. The site is currently zoned as Rural 43 (RU-
43) within the County. See Zoning Map attached at Exhibit 2. The site will be
annexed into the City of Glendale as part of the entitlement process. The Crow
303 AZ partners propose to rezone the entire Property from RU-43 (County) to
PAD for industrial and commercial uses within the City of Glendale. The Legal
Description for the Project is attached as Exhibit 10.
The proposed PAD zoning is consistent with the industrial PAD zoning on nearby
properties along the Loop 303 corridor. There are many other similar light
industrial (M-1) zoned properties in the Loop 303 Freeway corridor. The corridor
is experiencing rapid growth as a major industrial and distribution hub.
The proposed annexation into the City of Glendale will convert the current
Maricopa County General Plan Land Use classification of Military Compatible
to the closest City of Glendale General Plan Land Use category, which would
be Luke Compatible Land Use (LCLU). As that the complimentary land use is
LCLU a focus will be on uses that provide the safest compatibility with the
adjacent Air Force Base. The proposed use is consistent with the Glendale
General Plan Land Use designation of Luke Compatible Land Use (LCLU) and
provides the safest compatible land uses such as light industrial distribution
and warehouse. The Luke Compatible Land Use Area recommends non-
residential uses as well as safe and compatible development, like the type
proposed with this application. See the General Plan Map shown as Exhibit 3.
Future industrial development is encouraged over other options. Constructing
an industrial distribution and warehouse development, along with supporting
commercial uses is in conformance with the existing City of Glendale General
Plan for the Property.

III. Planned Area Development
a)
Overview and Intent
The intent of the Crow 303 AZ PAD is to allow industrial; manufacturing,
e-commerce, and office uses as well as development standards that
ensure appropriate flexibility for such developments. The PAD will allow
commercial, industrial and employment uses that are compatible with
the nearby Loop 303 Freeway Corridor and are in conformance with
state statute 28-8481, the underlying zoning, and recommended uses
along the loop 303 freeway. Market conditions will determine the
amount of commercial uses that will develop within this project.
A specific user(s) has not been identified at this time. The plans, exhibits,
and images presented herein are conceptual only and intending to
convey the type, intensity, and quality of development expected at this
location. Configuration of the Site plan and buildings may change
based on market conditions. Once specific users are identified, a design
review application (site plan, building architecture, landscaping,
signage, grading, etc.) will be submitted for administrative review by
City of Glendale staff.
b)
Permitted Uses
This PAD and the permitted uses defined below are intended to
accommodate
industries
involving
office,
light
manufacturing,
assembling, warehousing, e-commerce, and wholesale activities.
Associated office and related retail uses are also included within this
district. The manufacturing or assembly of finished products so long as
the primary use of the property is not the basic processing and
compounding of raw materials is allowed.
Uses shall include all uses noted below in the Permitted Land Uses Table
A, which is comprised of all uses allowed in the Light Industrial (M-1) and
specific uses allowed in the General Commercial (C-2) zoning districts,

c) Site Plan
To maximize and attract potential users, the PAD introduces a
conceptual site plan to help illustrate how the property could be
designed. This ensures optimal flexibility while demonstrating potential
development option areas of focus. The site plan shows how the site
could possibly be developed but does not necessarily depict what will
be constructed on the site. See Site Plan Concept & Circulation as Exhibit
4.
The conceptual site plan indicates layout areas; however, different
configurations of M-1 and C-2 uses could be arranged based on market
conditions, to attract the widest range of uses and allow maximum
flexibility for future development. The largest building site could cover up
to 51% of any of the parcels within the 155-acre development. The
representative site plan is based on possible layout concepts shown but
does not reflect an ultimate final site plan. Final site plans could be of
different configurations and vary in size with additional square feet. Lot
coverages would remain under 50% for most design scenarios.
The proposed site plan has a main access point from State Route 303
Loop at Glendale Avenue. Primary access will occur on Glendale
Avenue and at multiple secondary access points along Alsup & Reems
Road. The circulation shown on site plan provides a conceptual
framework for moving through the site based on anticipated uses and
will provide for the separation of cars and trucks where possible. A
parking study will be completed during design review to justify the
Crow 303 AZ
Planned Area Development Amendment
Glendale, Arizona
10
parking provided for the various projected uses based upon the
deviations noted in the development standards below and previous
parking studies for similar developments in the area.
d) Development Standards
The development standards, below in Table B, are created specifically
for the Crow 303 AZ PAD and mostly facilitate industrial warehouse
development. More specifically, the permitted heights and intensity will
permit the development of a highly attractive, state of the art, industrial
warehouse, and distribution development representative of the types of
projects throughout the 303 Freeway Corridor. Should a conflict exist
between any provision in this PAD and the Glendale Zoning Ordinance,
the PAD shall apply.

PAD Deviation Rationale
i. Height: Building height needs to be flexible to meet specific
tenant needs. The typical anticipated industrial building in this
market may suggest 40’ of clear height inside, resulting in a
building height in the 55’ range. However, there is a potential for
a unique distribution or manufacturing use that may include
multiple levels of storage platforms or automated systems,
resulting in the need for increased height. Site appurtenances,
such as material silos or other building specific support equipment,
may be required to exceed the building height. In such cases,
location and treatment of such elements shall be considered and
incorporated into the overall design solution, not to exceed 60’.
ii. FAR: There is a distinction between additional building floors and
storage
mezzanines.
Storage
mezzanines
or
multi-level
automated storage platforms are incorporated into the tall clear
height of a large distribution facility. These mezzanines fall within a
portion of the already defined volume and footprint of the
building and do not impact the visual appearance or height of
the exterior of the building, thus not impacting the perceived
density addressed by FAR. They are often limited in actual
employee population and used for a different type of storage or
processing that does not require the otherwise high bay volume
of the space.
iii. Parking:
Reduced
parking
ratios
requested
for
the
warehouse/distribution portion of the building consider the
anticipated heavy storage/limited occupancy characteristics of
Crow 303 AZ
Planned Area Development Amendment
Glendale, Arizona
12
the potential tenant mix for the Development. As storage systems
become more automated and based on historical ratios of
warehouse
employees
to
actual
storage
space,
fewer
employees are required. Therefore, parking standards have been
reduced to accommodate demand. Mezzanine areas, due to
their typical storage use, should not be included in parking
calculations unless they are specifically occupied full time by
employees as their primary workspace. Such calculations should
be evaluated with specific tenant plans when submitted for
entitlements. Based on the large open spaces available within
the dock areas of these types of buildings, supplemental parking
areas are available based on specific tenant needs, providing
flexibility to increase parking ratios as required. In addition,
consideration should be given to nearby retail parking that
attracts fewer employees, less trips and fewer vehicle trips to
nearby, supporting industrial, warehouse, and distribution uses.
iv. Signage: Signage heights need to be flexible to meet specific
tenant needs. Typically, the norm for an anticipated industrial
development may suggest 20’ for a single tenant. However, due
to the size and uniqueness of this proposal, there is the potential
for multiple tenants throughout the development that includes
space that is not directly on the freeway. Typically, businesses that
would be attracted this type of development would anticipate
some type of proximity to the freeway. Taller multi-tenant
freestanding monument signs would provide that “proximity” to
those businesses and could potentially represent up to 5 major
tenants and reach heights of up to 50’. Therefore, a deviation in
the code is requested to be allowed for this unique freeway
corridor development to encourage development.
e)
Performance Standards/Use Limitations
i. Nuisances: Uses shall be permitted within this district, unless such
uses are or may become obnoxious or offensive by reason of
odor, dust, smoke, noise, gas fumes, cinders, vibrations, glare,
refuse, or air or water pollution emissions.
ii. Enclosures: All uses permitted in this district shall be typically
conducted within a fully enclosed building unless otherwise
permitted. Outside storage of materials and equipment related
to the primary activity is permitted provided that the outside
storage area is screened by a wall. Design and height shall be
approved by the approved authorizing administrative body.
iii. Hazards: All explosive and hazardous materials and processes
Crow 303 AZ
Planned Area Development Amendment
Glendale, Arizona
13
require
approval
by
Glendale
Fire
Department.
All
manufacturing, storage, and waste processes shall meet all
safety and environmental standards as administered by the fire
department.
iv. Dark Skies: Lighting plans shall be submitted with each Design
Review application illustrating that on-site lighting does not
exceed one-foot candle at the property line. On-sight lighting
shall be dark sky compliant, and all lighting shall comply with the
City of Glendale Outdoor Light Control Ordinance.
f)
Landscape Buffer and Dock Screens
Landscape buffers and screen wall requirements shall conform to
Section 7.200 of the Glendale Zoning Ordinance. The design, materials
and colors for all walls, fences and screening devices visible from public
view will be uniform in appearance. An 8’ wall enclosing the truck courts
shall be provided where appropriate within each parcel or project to
help screen the truck loading and maneuvering area. An 8’ wall shall
also be placed on the property lines surrounding the residential portion
of the site as per direction by the City and as shown on the updated site
plan.
IV. Landscape Design
Landscaping will be designed to complement the building architecture
overall design theme for the site. All materials will comply with the City of
Glendale low water use plant palette. The Glendale Avenue and Alsup Road
frontage landscaping will provide an attractive thematic public edge to the
property. Perimeter site boundaries will define the parcel and provide a
pleasing thematic common boundary with adjacent sites. Enhanced
landscaping will further define potential building entries with canopy trees at
City-required spacing to provide shading for the parking areas. A variety of
tree species, combined with a colorful combination of shrubs and
groundcovers, will provide an overall landscape composition at an
appropriate scale to enhance the overall development and its visual impact
on its surroundings. A conceptual landscape plan is included with this
submittal to portray a representative design. More details regarding plantings,
types, locations and quantities will be a part of future design review
applications to address the proportion of landscape materials to specific
building design and height. On-site landscape and parking lot landscape
requirements shall conform with landscape requirements within the City of
Glendale approved ordinance. Effort will be made to provide a landscape
buffer of trees along the edge of the development adjacent to the existing
residential uses. See Representative Landscape Plan as Exhibit 9.
Crow 303 AZ

V. Architecture Form and Character
Design requirements of large industrial facilities vary with specific uses and
tenant requirements. Due to the size of this project, a thematic character will
be woven into the fabric of the Project that unifies the architecture, signage
and landscape during the design review phase of the project. The specific
uses combined with careful aesthetic considerations for large building masses
will provide general guidance that will inform the design process for the
architecture. Design palette must remain flexible as that specific future
tenants are unknown at this time. The building may take on the characteristics
of a specific tenant, if that tenant is identified prior to development, or may
be more ‘generic’, designed to appeal to a broad range of potential tenants
(particularly if development commences before a specific tenant is known).
Examples of typical archetypes can be found along the nearby Loop 303
Corridor further to the south.
Scale is an important consideration when looking at the overall design. While
the scale of development along the freeway should be appropriate for views
at high speeds, this proposal will focus on the more distant views that surround
the site. Elements should generally be larger and easier to identify from
automobiles along both Loop 303 and Glendale Avenue. Similarly, the
building(s) should be set back from Glendale Avenue, so the scale of the
buildings does not dominate the views in the area. The level of architectural
fenestration and detail will increase adjacent to building entries and
commercial corners where pedestrian scaled elements should be included in
the architectural design to emphasize human scale. Commercial corners will
generally follow a similar industrial design and feel set by the nearby
warehouse design precedent.
Color and pattern will be used to de-emphasize building mass and develop
visual interest that creates an overall pleasing aesthetic on all sides of the
building. The color palette may include warm to cool neutral colors that
embrace the surrounding desert hues. Unique features may include limited
color accents to provide additional visual interest, while also addressing
corporate image. The primary building material will be painted, articulated
concrete wall panels and may feature accent materials that provide
additional texture or colors where areas of enhancement are appropriate.
Store front glazing will be incorporated at anticipated office areas to provide
daylight to workspaces. Metal canopies help the architecture respond to the
climate by providing shade, shadow, and accents to the building.
Building parapets will be extended above the roof line to provide screening
of roof top equipment from view at adjacent public right of ways along
Glendale and Alsup Avenues. Dock and outdoor storage areas will be
Crow 303 AZ
Planned Area Development Amendment
Glendale, Arizona
15
screened with an 8’ masonry wall with detail and color to complement the
building architecture. A similar 3’ high wall will screen parking along Glendale
and Alsup Avenues.
A representative architectural elevations image exhibit is included to convey a
representative palette of building styles. The image shown in the elevation
collage are consistent with similar approved nearby Planned Area
Developments. Specific details regarding architecture, materials, colors, etc.
will be a part of the future design review application. See Typical Architectural
Site Plan as Exhibit 5 and Architectural Elevations as Exhibit 6.
VI. Circulation and Access
The Property is well situated from a regional access perspective; it is within the
immediate proximity of the 303 Freeway and is easily accessible from
Glendale Avenue, which terminates at Reems Road. Alsup Avenue provides
a north/south arterial access to collectors such as the Ocotillo Street,
Maryland Avenue and Claremont Street alignments. The north/south Reems
Road alignment ends at Luke Air Force Base and will likely terminate in a
private access cul-de-sac that will serve this Project and the property to east
when it develops.
a) Existing Conditions
In the immediate vicinity of the project, Alsup Avenue is a the primary
north-south, two-way, two lane roadway that serves nearby farmland
and provides access to surrounding commercial, industrial and
residential parcels. Glendale Avenue provides east-west access to the
State Route 303 Loop Freeway.
After discussions with City of Glendale transportation staff, the Projects
Annexation will not include Alsup Avenue and that road will be within
the jurisdiction of the County. A forty-foot half street right-of-way(row)
has been requested by the county for Alsup Avenue.
b) Proposed Street Improvements
As part of the proposed Crow 303 AZ site, offsite improvements for the
half street will occur along Alsup Avenue, immediately adjacent to the
project site. Glendale Avenue will be widened from a two-lane
roadway to a five-lane roadway (with a two-way center left turn lane)
with curb, gutter, sidewalk, signing, striping, associated landscaping,
and roadway lighting. Private access roads will be constructed
internally to provide access to Alsup Avenue. These private drives will be
connected to Alsup Avenue throughout the project, which will act as a
spine for this development and other similar industrial sites recently
Crow 303 AZ
Planned Area Development Amendment
Glendale, Arizona
16
approved along this corridor. A traffic study has been provided and will
be updated during the design review process for the entire
development, to determine the final circulation plan for that project.
VII. Grading and Drainage
The grading and drainage for the site will be designed to retain the 100-year,
2-hour storm event in accordance with the City of Glendale drainage design
guidelines.
Storm drainage will be conveyed via roof drains, downspouts and overland
flow across the parking lots and truck dock areas into either catch basins or
curb openings which will outfall to a combination of surface and/or
underground retention areas. The required storage volume will dissipate within
36-hours via a combination of natural percolation and drywells.
All projects adjacent to public streets shall provide retention for the adjacent
half-street within on-site retention basins. The retention basins and storm drain
inlets shall be sized for the 100-year storm event.
VIII. Infrastructure, Utilities & Public Services
Water will be provided to the site by Adaman Water District. Adaman has
stated that they will allow domestic and fire water to be provided from a 16-
inch waterline extension that runs along Glendale Avenue. This line will be
extended mostly east along Glendale Avenue and south along Alsup Avenue
to feed several proposed water loops throughout the project and to provide
flow to fire hydrants along Alsup Avenue south of Glendale. See the Crow 303
AZ Water Exhibit attached as Exhibit 7.
Sewer will be provided by Epcor. Epcor has a treatment plant in the vicinity of
the site that provides sewer service to this property. An existing 30” sewer main
provides service along the west edge of Luke Air Force Base, near the Reems
Road alignment and runs to the Claremont Street alignment. New sewer stubs
will be provided from this existing main throughout the site. See the Crow 303
AZ Sewer Exhibit attached as Exhibit 8.
Public services will be expected for fire and police as a primary benefit of being
annexed into the City of Glendale. As the City annexes new property into the
City limits it is also obtaining a new revenue stream to further build and develop
local public safety resources. The demand for services will typically be less with
this development compared to other types of land uses such as retail and
residential uses.

Upon initial review of the site plan and the TIA, the City met to decide whether
collector roads on the Ocotillo and Maryland alignment would be included
with this development. It was determined that to best serve the residential
community adjacent to the development that existing access to Alsup will
remain in place through a network of internal existing dirt roads. An 8’ fence
will be located along the property lines surrounding the residential area and
an internal private access drive will be provided setback from the fence with
a landscape buffer. Glendale Avenue and Alsup Road will be improved as
noted above. Reems road south of Glendale Avenue will become a shared
private access road with cul-de-sac to provide access for the property to the
east of this development.
X. Signage
This development will provide functional and attractive signage that
compliments the architecture of the overall Crow 303 AZ site. This PAD
application sets forth the general location, quantity, and maximum height of
monument signage for Crow 303 AZ. Project Monument Signs will occur along
Glendale and Alsup Avenues. On-site development identification signs will
also occur along the projects interior collector roads to provide proper project
identification. Directional signs may be located throughout the development
to point users to their desired destination. These signs will utilize the established
color and materials palette that is applied to the building(s) within the Crow
303 AZ site. A separate Comprehensive Sign Package shall be submitted
during design review to obtain City of Glendale approval for all signs.
Deviations from City approval may be obtained through an administrative
process if the sign is in substantial conformance with the sign package
approved through Design Review.
Twenty (20) foot-tall, double-sided project monument signs are proposed
throughout the Project. Double-sided monument signs will provide identity for
the overall development and may include single-tenant panels, or multi-panel
depending upon the future tenant user(s) of the Property.
Once future tenants are identified, a Comprehensive Sign Package (CSP) will
be provided during design review with consistent signage for tenants and
users of Crow 303 AZ. The future CSP will contain guidelines for color, materials,
location of wall signage, allowable areas, illumination, and configuration of
logo and copy presentations. The proposed sign locations in this PAD are
conceptual and the final determination of sign locations will be identified in
the CSP submittal.

XI. Development Phases
The Property may be developed in a single-user phase, or with multiple phases
as market conditions warrant. The intent is to install infrastructure and improve
the street frontage and access way adjacent to each phase. It is anticipated
that the initial phase will include at least one building, street frontage
improvements, and retention basins. Plans for individual buildings/phases will
be submitted to the City of Glendale to ensure proper and orderly
development.
XII. Summary
The PAD and the proposed site plan will provide the required entitlements
needed to develop the Crow 303 AZ. The Property will be zoned PAD and the
site is within a General Plan land use designation that encourages
development specifically for land parcels adjacent and close to Luke Air
Force Base. The proposed development substantially conforms with the
development objectives of the General Plan for this location. The
development will complement the surrounding area and provide improved
benefits and new employment opportunities to the City of Glendale and its
residents, including associated office, commercial and employment-related
services.
XIII. Consistency with Surrounding PADs
Significant portions of this PAD were referenced from the proposed adjacent
PAD, made public record for the Lincoln Logistic property located in what will
now become the center of this site. This PAD has attempted to be consistent
with Lincoln Logistic and other surrounding similar Industrial Planned Area
Developments. This PAD maintains consistency with the direction and vision of
development in the area along the Loop 303 corridor, as requested in
discussions with City staff.
XIV. Conformance with Findings for a Rezoning Application per Section 3.809
The PAD is in conformance with the following findings required to amend the
zoning ordinance and official zoning map of the City of Glendale.
First, this rezoning is consistent with the policies and objectives of the Glendale
General Plan. The proposed use is consistent with the Glendale General Plan
Land Use designation of Luke Compatible Land Use (LCLU) and provides the
safest compatible land uses such as light industrial distribution and warehouse.

The Second finding states that the rezone furthers the public health, safety and
general welfare of the citizens of Glendale. This project does further the public
health safety and welfare of the citizens of Glendale by developing within the
City of Glendale standards, which will improve roadways, add sidewalks
landscape and lighting to areas currently underserved. In addition, the
development will bring new revenue to the City in the form of taxes and
provide employment opportunities for the City and its residents.
The third finding that has been met is that the proposed change will include
any conditions necessary to mitigate any adverse impacts on businesses,
persons, or properties adjacent to the rezoning for this development. There are
no impacts to existing businesses, as that there the area is unincorporated
farmland with no known business uses. The area will be developing the land
surrounding the neighborhood to a higher and better use. Unpaved roadways
are being improved, an 8’ screen wall with landscape buffer will be provided
on property lines adjacent to existing County residents. The project will feature
an internal circulation pattern to minimize conflicts with existing local traffic.
A fourth requirement per Section 3.908 is does not apply to this development
as that residential is not allowed this close to Luke AFB. As that residence are no
longer allowed there is no requirement to provide adequate school facilities,
since the development will not impact the school system with any students.
Note: Prior to the City’s issuance of permit(s) for vertical construction of
building(s) or other improvements, Developer shall submit FAA form 7460-1 to
the FAA. Regional Office for the FAA’s determination of whether such
building(s) or other improvements (as designed) would be a hazard to aviation
and what additional conditions (if any) are recommended by the FAA.
It should be noted that no structures or parking are allowed in the Luke Air
Force Base “No Build Zone”, as defined by existing easements notated in the
ALTA that accompanies this PAD submittal.
Lastly, this PAD has been amended to add 8.65 acres of land for a new total
of approximately +/-155.63 acres total for the project.

1. Introduction
The purpose of this narrative is to provide a summary of our PAD Amendment request to add the
8.65± acres located at the southeast corner of West Ocotillo Road and North Alsup Avenue to the
existing PAD, which currently includes 146.98 net acres for a new total of approximately 155.63
net acres. This Annexation and PAD Amendment will integrate this 8.65± acres area into the
overall Luke Logistics development by Crow Holdings, which was previously annexed and zoned
to the CROW 303 AZ PAD as an M-1 Light Industrial Planned Area Development, with a planned
total of roughly 1.9 million square feet of industrial warehouse.
The primary use of the PAD will be to remain as a group of light industrial warehouses, with
associated circulation, parking, landscaping, and other on-site amenities typical of a light industrial
warehouse development. The addition of the land will allow the developer to add truck parking to
better compete and market the Luke Logistics development. As the request is to add acreage to the
existing PAD, all uses listed in Table A – Permitted Land Uses will be allowed within the proposed
additional acreage for a total of 155-acres. In short, the current PAD Amendment proposal will
allow the two subject parcels (APN 501-60-034 & 501-60-010F) to be fully integrated with the
overall Luke Logistics development and at this time is planned to provide that much needed
additional trailer parking area. Please see the site plan attached at the end of this narrative. Any of
the uses listed within the PAD along with accessory uses and ancillary uses within the PAD will
apply to the entirety of the PAD Amendment including the 8.65 acres being added to the PAD.
Parcels from the initial PAD rezoning included assessor parcel numbers 501-60-008, 501-60-010E,
501-60-006C, 501-60-006B, and 501-60-006D.
2. Background
During the original applications for rezone, these two parcels were intended to be included in the
applications but could not be because the parcels were in the process of being acquired. This
application would incorporate the two subject parcels (totaling 8.65± acres) into the existing
146.98 acres of the CROW 303 AZ PAD for a total of 155.63 acres for the Luke Logistics
development. The overall Luke Logistics development has an approved site plan (DR22-0063)
along with approved construction documents for offsite improvements along Glendale Avenue
(Reference number 231532) and is finalizing approval for construction documents for
improvements along Alsup Avenue. The project is well underway and the addition of these two
parcels will round out the development.
3. Requested Rezoning
The site is located within unincorporated Maricopa County, and we are seeking to annex it into
the City of Glendale. Upon annexation, the site’s existing RURAL-43 zoning in the County will
be initially established with the zoning district of RR-45, as per A.R.S. 9-471, the closest
equivalent zoning designation in Glendale’s zoning ordinance. Thereafter, the subject PAD
Amendment will rezone the property from RR-45 to M-1 Light Industrial PAD, as the PAD is
amended through the rezoning process. This request is only to add land to the original CROW 303
AZ PAD.
The site is mostly vacant except for an unoccupied, disheveled house that was built around 1974.
Several searches were completed for the address for the parcel with a structure being added to the

PAD. Both the National Register of Historic Places and State HPO records were reviewed, and all
potential results showed no matches for any listed historic site or building for the parcels being
added for this development.
4. Changes to the CROW 303 AZ Planned Area Development
The subject applications will only enable the addition of land into the CROW 303 AZ PAD. The
original PAD document has been edited from its originally approved language to the amended
PAD to reflect the addition of land.
A PDF copy with the revisions highlighted has been included with this application so that staff can
clearly identify where changes were made to reflect the update in the total amount of land within
the PAD Amendment. The associated exhibits have also been updated to show the inclusion of the
additional 8.65 acres of land and an updated legal description has been provided accounting for
the addition of land.
5. Conclusion
This PAD Amendment allows the developer to circle back to amend the PAD to include land that
had been anticipated to be included in the original PAD but was not yet acquired. With the
amendment of the PAD to include the additional 8.65± acres, the Luke Logistics development will
be complete, more compatible with surrounding industrial developments and will help to inform
end-users in their decision to locate here for their light industrial based businesses. In effect this
will improve the marketability of Luke Logistics moving forward. Allowing this 8.65± acre portion
to be integrated with the overall Crow Industrial development helps support this flourishing
commerce area.
