CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN VAR22-05 ADDRESS: 6718 N 59TH DR. GLENDALE, AZ 85301 APN: 144-10-113 ZONING R-3 VAR22-05 APPLICATION 04-18-2022 04-26-2022 APPROVED 6 JUN 2022 VAR22-05 City of Glendale Planning Division MXD SOLUTIONS, LLC (602) 367-5607 8370 W. San Miguel Ave. Glendale AZ 85305 max@mxdsolutions.com This lot located in 6718 N 59th Dr. Glendale AZ 85301. Has been a vacant property for more than 30 years. Which indicates that this has not been used for any useful purpose for the previous owner. This property is located near City of Glendale’s downtown area in the ORCHARD ADD BLK 20-21-22, & 38-39-40 AMD MCR: 003-36, subdivision. The main cross streets are 59th Ave and W Ocotillo Rd. The adjacent lots are all R-3 zoning, which allows for single family and multiple residence. Most lots in this vicinity are being used as duplex buildings. 04/26/2022 BRIEF HISTORY DESCRIPTION CONTEXT OF SURROUNDING AREAS 04/26/2022 Pg.02 CHANGE OF VARIANCE APPLICATION To Whom It May Concern, This letter is to request a change of variance on the vacant land with address 6718 N 59th Dr. Glendale AZ 85301 and APN: 144-10-113. The goal is to develop a single-family affordable housing opportunity on this vacant land of 8,450 Ft2. The property is currently zoned R-3 (Multiple residence). The R-3 district in the city of Glendale requires a 20-foot setback on all sides. The proposed home does not provide for this, and we would like to change the current 20 Ft setback to 5 Ft on the South side and 11 Ft on North side. Figure 1 Current Setbacks of 20 ft Overall. Figure 2 Proposed lot Setbacks and Residence 04/26/2022 Pg.03 According to the Zoning Ordinance- section 3.706: 1) There are special circumstances or conditions applicable to the property including its size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings which were not self-imposed by the owner. For which we consider that the size of the property is a special circumstance because the required setbacks will not leave enough space for an appropriate size home to fit. 2) Due to the special circumstances, the strict application of the Zoning Ordinance would deprive the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the same classification in same zoning district. The current zoning ordinance would only allow us to build a home that is 10 feet in width. All other homes in this same classification in the same zoning district are wider than 10 feet. Therefore, we are asking for approval so the family can enjoy a functional home. Previously we have considered different reasonable options such as being part of the Glendale Centerline District, reason why we acquired the property initially. However, the required distance between a residential building to a structure in the Glendale Centerline District ended up being more than the setback required in the current zoning. We believe that the variance is the minimum necessary to alleviate the property hardship; however, none of this depends on us, that is the reason why the variance is our last hope, and it would not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the zoning district and will not have a detrimental effect on the property, adjoining properties, the surrounding neighborhood, or the City in general. Please see attached Deed recorded on January 20th, 2022, as proof of ownership and for the Legal Description of the property. In addition, the parcel map is attached to this letter.
