The mailing list is needed to provide notification postcards for any public hearings. The City of
Glendale Planning Division will create and distribute the public hearing postcards; however, the
applicant will be responsible for notification costs. The City will invoice the applicant for these
charges. Upon receipt of the invoice, the applicant will be required to submit a check made
payable to the City of Glendale. Failure to submit payment may result in postponement of the
application.

In addition to the recipient’s address, your mailing envelope must include a return address and
the City of Glendale Logo label identifying the information as a Land Use Application. If the
envelopes have not been properly prepared, your project may be delayed. An Affidavit of Mailing
must be submitted to staff once you have completed your mailing. (See P. 6).

Re:
SAFStor Self-Storage
Variance Application
VAR21-11
Dear Property Owner or Interested Party:
This firm represents SAFStor Real Estate Co, LLC (“SAFStor”) with respect to the approximate
1.9 acres of vacant, undeveloped land located at 6842 and 6848 West Grand Avenue (the “Property”). An
Aerial Map of the Property is enclosed with this letter for your reference. SAFStor is proposing to develop
an indoor climate-controlled self-storage facility on the Property, along with a small lobby/office area and
other site improvements, such as landscaping and parking. The Property is zoned M-1 (Light Industrial).
The proposed use is permitted by-right in the M-1 zoning district.
On behalf of SAFStor, we recently filed a Variance application (“Application”) with the City of
Glendale to accommodate an indoor self-storage facility on the Property. Specifically, the Application
requests 1) a variance to reduce the minimum parking requirement, and 2) a variance to increase the
maximum Floor Area Ratio. I have included a Site Plan and Renderings with this letter for your review.
If you have any concerns or questions for the Applicant, please call me at (602) 256-4437 or e-mail
me at mmaerowitz@gblaw.com. You may also contact Alex Lerma, Planner Project Manager with the
City of Glendale, at (623) 930-2810 or alerma@glendaleaz.com. The last day to submit any concerns or
questions is February 18, 2022. Your comments will be made part of the case file.
