Re: School District Notification — Proposed Multi-Family Development
West of the SWC of 75" Avenue and Rose Garden Lane

Dear Dr. Zehrbach:

This letter is being sent to you pursuant to the City of Glendale Planning Department school
district notification policy for General Plan and Zoning changes. We are applying for a Rezoning
on approximately 20.23 gross acres and a Minor General Plan Amendment for a portion of a site
located west of the southwest corner of 75" Avenue and Rose Garden Lane (the “Site”), An aerial
map of the Site is attached.

Specifically, the General Plan Land Use Map is being amended from Low-Density
Residential (LDR) 1-2.5 du/ac and Parks/Open Space (POS) to High-Density Residential (HDR-
20) for an approximate 19.28-acre portion of the Site, and the remaining balance of the Site will
remain POS. The property is currently zoned Planned Area Development (PAD) on the eastern
portion and Agricultural on the western portion. The rezoning to a new PAD will facilitate the
development of “Broadstone Arrowhead,” a luxury multi-family community.

Broadstone Arrowhead is proposed to be a high-quality multifamily community comprised
of approximately 368 residences. The residences will be a mixture of 1-, 2-, and 3-bedrooms, and
both townhome-style and apartment-style units will be available. The two-story townhome
buildings have been thoughtfully located on the north side of the Site, closest to the single-family
community north of Rose Garden Lane. The three-story multifamily buildings are located to the
south, adjacent to Church buildings, commercial uses, and the Valaire at Aspera apartment
community. A Conceptual Site Plan, Landscape Plan, and Elevation samples are provided.

As part of the General Plan and Zoning processes, I have attached two Certification of
Adequate School Facilities for you to complete. The completed Certifications can be mailed to Alex
Lerma, Glendale Planning Division, 5850 W. Glendale Avenue, Suite 212, Glendale, AZ 85301 or
emailed to Alex at alerma@glendaleaz.com.
