Project Narrative 
Our intent is to build an additional building at 5336 West Beck Lane in Glendale, AZ 85306 
(Parcel Number 231-01-129) with a variance application to reduce the setback required in 
the unified development code. Currently we are zoned A-1 (agricultural), with no proposed 
zoning changes and surrounding land use is all residential.  
The proposed project will be a metal building, purposed as a shop, measuring 25ft x 30ft, 
totaling 750sqft on a 16,336 sq ft lot. The building will have a gambrel style roof line and will 
be 16 feet tall with a 9-foot eave height. The proposed setbacks are reducing from 10 feet to 
5 feet from the west property line and 15' to 11' from the rear property line. There are 
currently two sheds in the location that will be removed upon project approval. 
This home was purchased with the intent of being able to add a shop and make it our 
forever home. As a family that works on vehicles, this proposed building would provide 
space for accumulated tools and free up garage space for our daily vehicles and add 
additional storage for items that are usually outside. A deposit of $12,000 was put down in 
December of 2023 for the building in measurements included in this plan before the code 
changes were implemented. The total cost of the building increases the longer the 
manufacturer stores it for us, and the building cannot be changed as the interior square 
footage is needed to be able to maneuver around vehicles and for needed storage. If the 
variance is not approved, our option would be to sell and relocate outside of Glendale city 
limits.
