Arrowhead Towne Center, Parcel 14
PAD Amendment Rezone Application
I.
Purpose of Request
The purpose of this submittal is for an approval of a PAD Amendment Rezone
Application by the City of Glendale (the “City”) for the subject property consisting of
approximately 7.43 acres and identified by the Maricopa County Assessor’s Office as
APNs 200-43-603, -606, -607, 608 (the “Property”). (See Exhibits A & B – Context Aerial
Maps)
NLT Properties, LLC (“NLT”) currently owns parcels 200-43-607 and -608 (i.e. the most
northern parcels) of the Property. The Property is also known as Parcel 14 within the
North Valley Specific Area Plan [Arrowhead Town Center] Planned Area Development
(the “Arrowhead PAD”), which was approved under Z-89-14. At the time of approval of
the Arrowhead PAD, Parcel 14 was the only parcel designated with Limited Commercial
(i.e. C-1) and all other commercially designated parcels were zoned as General
Commercial (i.e. C-2). (See Exhibits C – Arrowhead PAD Zoning Map). Later, in 2002,
Parcel 14 was amended under Z-02-24, which expanded Parcel 14 to the north to take in
a sliver of Parcel 7 of the Arrowhead PAD that was zoned as Multifamily.
Based on the initial research of the file associated with the Arrowhead PAD, there was no
identified reason that Parcel 14 was zoned as C-1, including any public feedback that
could have necessitated that.
However, the result of those actions has been that NLT has had to turn away some great
tenants due to the current C-1 zoning designation that is on the Property. One of those
great tenants that NLT currently has for the Property is a national veterinarian clinic, also
known as GoodVets. GoodVets is an organization of innovative animal clinics that
provides comprehensive preventative care, urgent care, and surgical care for cats and
dogs. They currently operate three (3) locations in Arizona and would like to add
Glendale to their group. GoodVets is willing to wait for this proposed PAD Amendment
to be approved as they see this as a prime location that meets the parameters for a
successful GoodVets location. GoodVets is dedicated to ensuring a quality business on
the Property that will be a great amenity to the surrounding community.

PAD Amendment Rezone Application
II.
Surrounding Property Description
The Property is surrounded by the Arrowhead Towne Center with a mixture of
commercial retail and business uses. The Property is currently within the jurisdiction of
the City and, as explained above, is zoned with the Arrowhead PAD (Case #’s Z-89-09,
Z-99-09, and Z-02-24). The Property is currently allowed to develop with those uses under
the Limited Commercial (C-1) zoning designation and is proposing to rezone the
Property to General Commercial (C-2) to expand those commercial uses allowed on the
Property.
The City General Plan map designates the Property as “Planned Commercial,” which
would allow for the proposed C-2 zoning and the veterinary clinic on the Property (See
Exhibit D – City of Glendale General Plan Map).
Access, Circulation, Surrounding Uses
The Property has W. St John Road on the north side with no access points, 75th Avenue
on the east side with two (2) ingress/egress points, E. Mall Drive on the south with Fno
access points, and W. Arrowhead Towne Center on the west with (3) ingress/egress
points. This proximity to local and major roadways and being situated within other
business/commercial uses provides a strategic location to make the GoodVets business
successful.
The following uses and properties are located adjacent to the Property:
• North:
o W. St. John Road/Hidden Meadows Park; Roadway and park/open space
o The property to the north is zoned as Neighborhood Park (NP) under the
Arrowhead PAD and designated as Parks and Open-Space (POS) by the
City’s General Plan.
• East:
o N. 75th Avenue/Secluded Acres Neighborhood; Residential uses
o The property to the east is zoned as SR-17 Residential and designated Low
Density Residential 1-2.5 du/ac (LDR 2.5) by the City’s General Plan.
• South:
o Arrowhead Commercial Center, Big Lots; Commercial retail use
o The property to the south is zoned as General Commercial (C-2) under the
Arrowhead PAD and designated as General Commercial (GC) by the City’s
General Plan.
• West:
o Arrowhead Towne Center Mall (Commercial Retail) and Reserve at
Arrowhead Apartment Homes (Multifamily)

Arrowhead Towne Center, Parcel 14
PAD Amendment Rezone Application
o The property to the west is zoned as Regional Center (RC) and Multifamily
and designated as Planned Commercial and High Density Residential 12.0-
20.0 du/c (HDR 20) by the City’s General Plan.
Based on the review of the surrounding uses and the related development context, the
proposed C-2 zoning for the Property is compatible with all surrounding land uses. The
addition of GoodVets will provide an exceptional use that will provide a neighborhood
commercial amenity to the surrounding area.

Arrowhead Towne Center, Parcel 14
PAD Amendment Rezone Application
III.
PAD Amendment Request
Based on the existing adjacent entitlements, the future planned land uses, and the
development in the area, the Property provides an ideal location for C-2, General
Commercial Uses. Since the Property has been fully developed, there are no proposed
changes to the on-site development. The only development changes that would come
from designating this as C-2 zoning would be internal tenant improvements associated
with new, future businesses coming onto the Property. The approval of this Application
will provide the City with a compatible and prosperous use that will generate tax
revenues for the City.
Upon initial review of the existing (C-1) and proposed zoning (C-2), the existing
development is not in need of any additional zoning deviations to accommodate the
existing development commercial buildings on the Property.
However, the Property owner will work with the City to ensure all applicable, required
development standards, parking landscaping, traffic, and other City requirements are
adhered to. Overall, the proposed development is compatible with the surrounding
development and future proposed land uses in the area.

V.
PAD Review and Analysis
As stated previously, the purpose of this PAD district is to provide a high-quality
development that consists of a variety of general commercial uses that are compatible
with the over Arrowhead Towne Center and surrounding neighborhoods.
This PAD Amendment meets all of the required findings of the Glendale UDC Section
35.2.901A, as follows:
1. Encourage creative and effective use of land and circulation systems to accommodate
changes in land development technologies.
The land and circulation systems were already established with the approval (and
subsequent amendments) of the Arrowhead Towne Center PAD. The current Property
owners have recognized a deficiency of Parcel 14 where it was the only parcel that was
designated with C-1 within the Arrowhead Towne Center PAD. All other commercial
parcels were designated with C-2 uses and development standards. This has been
causing issues with Parcel 14 being able to accommodate for land uses that are compatible
with the current development of the Arrowhead Towne Center.
This PAD provides a creative and effective way to enhance the current way that land is
utilized for additional commercial business uses. This PAD will allow for Parcel 14 to be
upgraded to current land use demands that have come with the full development
buildout of the Arrowhead Towne Center. This PAD will allow this area to flourish and
will bring additional land uses that will be beneficial to the City and the surrounding
neighborhoods by bringing additional neighborhood services and businesses to the area.
2. Encourage residential development to provide a mixture of housing types and designs.
This does not apply since this PAD Amendment does not incorporate residential
development. However, a balanced mixed of housing types and designs have already
been established in the area.
3. Encourage innovative development or redevelopment concepts for all land use types to
provide a greater variety and intensity of uses.
As described in #1 one above, this PAD Amendment recognizes a land use issue on the
Property and is providing a solution to address it. Overall, this PAD Amendment will
provide a greater variety of the land use types and bring greater synergy and intensity
that will be compatible with the established development in the area. This will provide
greater diversity to the types of neighborhood services and business that will benefit
Glendale and the surrounding neighborhoods.
4. Provide a process which relates the urban design and scale of the project to the unique
characteristics of the site.

Arrowhead Towne Center, Parcel 14
PAD Amendment Rezone Application
The urban design and scale of the Property was established long under by the Arrowhead
Towne Center PAD. The development standards of the C-1 to C-2 are identical and will
not change the overall, unique characteristics of the Property. However, the new allowed
land use types of this PAD Amendment will greatly enhance Parcel 14, while also
maintaining the overall scale and design of the Property.
The Applicant has carefully determined the appropriate site plan configuration,
architectural design, and the proposed uses for the Property, which will capitalize on the
unique location of the Property. The Avondale 50 PAD provides the perfect opportunity
for the proposed development to bring a high-quality development with complementary
uses that will be designed in a way that is harmonious with the surrounding
neighborhoods and is supported by current market conditions.
5. Require the nature and intensity of development to be supported by adequate utilities,
transportation, drainage, and common open spaces to serve the development and to
minimize impact on existing or future adjacent development.
This PAD Amendment is primarily focused on enhancing and expanding the land use
types that will be allowed on the Property. However, this expansion will not increase the
need for additional utilities, transportation infrastructure, drainage, and/or common
open space.
These elements have already been established on the Property and there is no need to
revise these elements with this PAD Amendment as they meet the current C-1 zoning
standards and will also meet the C-2 zoning standards.
6. Encourage development that is consistent with the policies and the guidelines established.
The City General Plan map designates the Property as “Planned Commercial,” which
would allow for the proposed PAD zoning uses on the Property. Overall, the
development provides for commercial retail development that is planned, constructed
and operated as a single entity with the Arrowhead Towne Center. It meets the intent of
the General Plan by providing a neighborhood, community and regional destination
shopping development.
Additionally, the Property is located within the North Valley Specific Area Plan. The
Property originally allowed for some multifamily development and commercial land
uses. As noted on Map 3 of the Planned Land Uses map, the Property was designated as
General Commercial (GC), which was the preferred designation at the time for C-2
zoning. This PAD Amendment will be in compliance with the North Valley SAP and the
established landscaped buffers and circulation were already previously established.

PAD Amendment Rezone Application
VI.
Conclusion
The Applicant recognizes that there is an exceptional opportunity in this area to rezone
the Property from the current PAD C-1 to the proposed PAD C-2 and capitalize on the
strategic location of the Property.
We look forward to continuing to work with the City on this development. We welcome
your feedback and continued guidance as we move forward.

9.
Standards for replacement of existing wireless communication facilities. Replacement
of all or parts of a legally existing WCF (concealed, disguised, or visible) shall be
permitted as a matter of right when the new WCF is in compliance with the previous
zoning or conditional use permit approval or the above listed standards. For purposes
of this provision "existing" shall mean that the pole or structure was taken down not
more than ninety (90) days prior to the issuance of permits for the replacement
monopole or new antennae. To minimize ground disturbance, antennae structures
would be considered replacements if they are located within a ten (10) foot radius of
the original antennae structure. A new antennae structure being built beyond the ten
(10) foot radius from an existing WCF would be permitted only upon obtaining all of
the necessary approvals described in Section 35.6.208 of the UDC.
10. Discontinuation of use. The use of any part of a WCF, including, but not limited to, a
communication monopole, antennae, or support equipment, that has been
discontinued for a period of ninety (90) calendar days shall be removed from the site
unless a conditional use permit is secured pursuant to Section 35.6.208 of the UDC.
11. Conditional use permit approval standards. Requests for conditional use permits,
when needed, shall be reviewed in accordance with the provisions of Section 35.6.208
of the UDC. Consideration shall also be given to each of the following:
a.
The consistency of the request with the context of the surrounding area;
b.
The design of a disguised WCF must be compatible with the architectural
character and natural features of the site or development;
c.
The placement of the WCF on the lot or parcel and its potential effect on
expanding existing or developing future land uses;
d.
The measures taken to reduce the visual impact, bulk or clutter on the
surrounding area;
e.
The cumulative effect that existing WCF in the vicinity of the site may have on
the request;
f.
Consistency with the wireless communication facilities design guidelines of
Section 35.3.105; and
g.
The following information shall be submitted upon application for a conditional
use permit for a WCF:
i.
