Citizen Participation Final Report 
 
1. Attach a cover page titled “Citizen Participation Final Report,” which lists information 
such as the project name, location, and case number(s), if assigned at this time. 
A cover page titled, “Citizen Participation Final Report” is attached.  The cover page 
includes the project name, location, and case number. 
 
2. Provide a brief description of the proposed project. 
On behalf of our client, Advance West LTD, we are pleased to submit this PAD narrative 
and supporting documents for an approximately 2.61-acre site located at 5150 W. 
Camelback Road. The subject site consists of one parcel that is identified in Maricopa 
County Assessor’s database as APN: 144-34-001X (the “Property”). The Property contains 
a self-storage facility that was developed in 1976. 
 
The Property is a “T” shape and has direct access to Camelback Road.  Camelback Road 
serves as a municipal boundary between the City of Glendale and the City of Phoenix. The 
City’s General Plan Land Use Map designates the Property as “GC” (“General 
Commercial”), and the Property is zoned M-2 according to the City’s zoning maps. The 
City’s records show building permits being issued in 1976 for construction of the self-storage 
facility on the Property. According to City records, 11 building permits were issued back in 
1976, which include warehouse buildings, an apartment, and an office building—all related 
to the self-storage operation.  All the permits issued for buildings on this Property show the 
zoning as M-2 zoning district. In 1988, a permit was issued for an additional 150 square 
feet of office space. 
 
The purpose of this request is to submit, process, and obtain approval for a Rezoning for 
the Property. The request seeks a rezoning from M-2 (“Heavy Industrial”) to Planned Area 
Development (“PAD”). There are four main purposes in filing this PAD: 1) to allow the 
existing self-storage to be a permitted use by right (the previous City of Glendale Zoning 
Ordinance, which was amended in 2024, allowed self-storage by right on the subject site), 
2) allow the self-storage building and landscape setbacks to remain as they exist today (and 
for the same self-storage project to be rebuilt if it were destroyed), 3) establish development 
standards for the Property if redeveloped other than self-storage were to occur in the future, 
and (4) remove certain industrial uses while adding other retail and commercial uses that 
would be compatible with and complement the area.  
 
3. Provide a brief overview of the elements of the Citizen Participation Plan. 
The City Planner assigned to the case determined that a notification letter would be the 
most effective way to inform the public of the proposed rezoning request. 
 
On March 31, 2025, Earl & Curley, P.C. mailed a total of 356 notification letters. These were 
sent to all property owners within 600 feet of the subject site, interested parties, 
homeowners’ associations and Registered Neighborhood Groups (as identified by the 
Planning Department), additional property owners from the expanded list provided by the 
Planning Department, and the City of Glendale.

Each letter included the following: an introduction, background and description of the 
request, the proposed site plan, and a city notification map. A QR code was provided for 
recipients to access more details about the project or to request inclusion on the interested 
parties mailing list. The letter also included the applicant’s contact information (name, 
address, phone number, and email), as well as the contact details of the City Planner 
managing the case.

subject site, interested parties, additional notification list of homeowners’ associations and 
Registered Neighborhood Groups of the upcoming hearings.

other publications were posted and/or advertised.
