RELATIONSHIP TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES 
Granite Vista is a 443-acre master planned community located within the Western Area of the 
City of Glendale municipal planning area.  The property is generally bounded by Olive 
Avenue on the north, Northern Avenue on the south, Cotton Lane on the east and Citrus Lane 
on the west.  The Granite Vista property lies within the Luke Subarea of the White Tank / 
Grand Avenue Area Plan planning area as identified by the Maricopa County Comprehensive 
Plan. 
Specifically, this Final plat addresses the development of phases 2J, which make up 20.05 
acres of the overall Granite Vista Master Planned Community. Located in the center portion 
of the master plan the 2J parcel are surrounded by the properties as follows: 
North:  Golden Lane & Parcels C5, C6, and C7 comprised of a mix of single-family residential 
lots that make up the Granite Vista Master Plan development. 
East:  Vista Loop Road & Parcels B1 and B2 comprised of a mix of single-family residential

LOCATION ACCESSIBILITY 
Granite Vista is located within the western planning area for the City of Glendale. A graphic 
representation of the Granite Vista property and proposed Final Plat area are provided on 
Figure 1, Vicinity Map. The property currently falls within the Maricopa County regulatory 
jurisdiction and is located one half mile to the west of the Loop 303 Freeway and between 
Northern Avenue and Olive Avenue. Direct access to the Loop 303 Freeway will be provided 
at Northern Avenue and at Peoria Avenue to the north. The close proximity with the 
Metropolitan Phoenix high capacity transportation corridors (the Loop 303 and the regional 
level Northern Parkway connection between Loop 303 and the Loop 101 Freeways) promotes 
the subject property as appropriate for development in response to the significant public 
investment in the transportation corridor.

Phase 2J will be accessed from the north & south via entries located on Golden Lane and the 
future access through parcel B4(not part of this submittal). The aforementioned local collector 
will connect residents to Citrus Road & Vista Loop providing access to the larger street 
network and regional commuting infrastructures. The close proximity with the Metropolitan 
Phoenix high-capacity transportation corridors (the Loop 303 and the regional level Northern 
Parkway connection between Loop 303 and the Loop 101 Freeways) promotes the subject 
property as appropriate for development in response to the significant public investment in 
the transportation corridor. 
CIRCULATION SYSTEM 
The balance of land use with circulation facilities is important to the ultimate quality of life 
for the residents of Granite Vista.  The intent of the proposed circulation system is to balance 
opportunities for mobility within, and throughout, the community by incorporating vehicular, 
bicycle, and pedestrian facilities. 
Vehicular Circulation 
The internal collector street (Vista Loop and Alice Ave) sections are planned to include a 
three-lane section (two through lanes and a continuous turn lane and/or raised median island) 
within 80 feet of public right-of-way.  
The local street section to be utilized within each development parcel will adhere to the typical 
detail requirements of the Maricopa County Department of Transportation with a 32-foot 
pavement width within 50-feet of public right-of-way. 
Bicycle Circulation 
On street paved bicycle lanes located within the arterial and collector streets as a five-foot six-
inch wide lane will primarily manage commuter bicycle circulation. Recreational bicycle 
circulation may utilize the commuter network; however, the recreational demand will most 
likely be satisfied by a network of paths adjacent to the arterial streets and within primary 
project open spaces.  The pedestrian circulation routes, within the internal open space network, 
will generally be eight feet in width and will meander to maximize access to adjacent planned 
neighborhoods. 
Pedestrian Circulation 
The proposed Circulation Plan for the overall project was designed with a notable emphasis 
on pedestrian circulation and access to open space, which connects the community and 
provides ample opportunity for connection to public trails, open space amenities and a 
potential primary school location.  
Pedestrians will enjoy access to five-foot wide sidewalks on the arterial streets and collector 
and local streets.  Proposed sidewalks along arterial and collector streets are detached 
providing landscape buffering opportunity between the edge of street curb and sidewalk 
alignment. Both bicyclists and pedestrians will have access to off-street trails or paths located 
within the Granite Vista open space network.

DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE 
Three development phases are proposed for the build-out of the Granite Vista Master Planned 
Community.  Phase 2J is being developed as part of Phase 2 of the overall project buildout 
phasing. Phase 2H & 2I will also be constructed as a part of Phase 2.  
Construction of Phase 2J will begin promptly once its plat and plans are approved and 
necessary permits have been received. 
Necessary utilities will follow the roadway routes with the provision of sanitary sewer, 
domestic water, and dry utilities. With phase one and portions of phase two complete, the 
estimated phasing schedule projects a buildout of the third and final phase within the next six 
years, subject to market conditions.  
COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND SERVICES 
School District 
Granite Vista is located within the Dysart Unified School District # 89 (DUSD).  DUSD offers 
kindergarten through eighth grade for primary education and ninth through twelfth for 
secondary education. There were twenty elementary schools and four high schools within the 
DUSD with the nearest existing K-8 school being Mountain View School located at 18302 W 
Burton Avenue.  A future primary school will be located within Granite Vista (not a part of 
this submittal) at a future date. The nearest existing secondary school is Shadow Ridge High 
School, located at the northeast corner of Perryville Road and Peoria Avenue. The school site 
is approximately 1.25 miles away from Granite Vista.  
Recreational Facilities 
The open spaces have been carefully planned to serve as important linkages between 
development parcels while also occurring in locations that facilitate the drainage of the site 
and promote land use buffers to existing residential uses. The overall open space network for 
the Granite Vista Master Plan will include nine Mini Parks of various sizes (minimum of 0.75 
acre per Mini Park. Mini Parks will serve a limited population and be required to include 
specialized amenity facilities (i.e., tot lots).  
Phase 2J will provide a centralized Mini Park contributing to the overall open space network 
throughout the Granite Vista Master Planned Community. The Mini Park will adhere to the 
guidelines set in the DMP for Mini Parks. Numerous other open space areas are placed 
throughout the parcels to accommodate for drainage, aesthetic relief, and passive recreation 
use.      
Overall, this development will comply with the Recreational Open Space (ROS) as identified 
in Figure 11 of the DMP entitled, “Land Use Master Plan” and Figure 12 entitled, “Open 
Space and Trails Master Plan”. The status of the cumulative ROS acreage and park numbers 
are described below.

PUBLIC UTILITIES AND SERVICES 
a. 
Water 
The Applicant has been working directly with EPCOR Water for services to both previous 
and future phases of Granite Vista.  In addition, the Arizona Department of Water Resources, 
in a letter dated March 18, 2013, states that the subject site and the Land Use Plan promoted 
by this DMP, has an Assured Water Supply to meet physical, continuous, and legal availability 
of water resources to serve this subject site for 100 years.  This finding, by the Arizona 
Department of Water Resources has been shared with EPCOR Water as the current and 
intended service provider to the Granite Vista Planned Community. 
b. 
Wastewater 
At the time of the zoning, EPCOR Water had filed an application for a Covenant of 
Convenience and Necessity (CC&N) to establish a wastewater service area that includes 
Granite Vista.  Also, in addition to upgrades to the Russell Ranch Water Reclamation Facility 
(RRWRF), EPCOR filed a MAG 208 Amendment to allow permitting and construction of a 
regional wastewater treatment plant, to accommodate the growth within the surrounding area.    
c. 
Electric 
Granite Vista is located within the Arizona Public Service area.  The developer received a 
“Will Serve” letter and requirements for provision of electric service to the project.  There are 
existing electric lines surrounding the project.  
d. 
Telephone 
Granite Vista is located within the Cox service provider area.  The developer intends to work 
with Cox to ensure that the infrastructure is constructed at the onset of the project for telephone 
service. 
e. 
Cable Television 
The developer intends to work with Cox Communications to ensure that the infrastructure is 
constructed at the onset of the project for cable television service. 
f. 
Natural Gas 
There are natural gas mains adjacent to the project.  The developer will work with Southwest 
Gas to deliver natural gas service to the project. 
g. 
Refuse Collection Districts 
The Granite Vista property is currently not within a city or town municipal jurisdiction. The 
subject site therefore is not within a designated service area. Private refuse collection services 
will be provided for Granite Vista residents until such time that a municipal service may 
become available should the City of Glendale decide at some future time to annex the Granite 
Vista Planned Community.

h. 
Fire Service District 
The Granite Vista Phase 1 development is located within the Rural Metro Corporation (RMC) 
Service Area. The nearest RMC fire and emergency station is located less than a half mile 
from the subject site. The station is located at 17007 W Lawrence Lane, located east of the 
site and west of the Loop 303 freeway. This location possesses a fire engine as well as an 
ambulance for emergency services. Given the nearby location of this facility, response time 
to the site will be very likely under a minute from the time of dispatch. 
i. 
Law Enforcement Service Districts 
Currently, Granite Vista is located within the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) 
service area. The nearest MSCO station is located at 13063 West Bell Rd in Surprise, 
approximately ten miles away. The estimated response time depends on traffic and number of 
patrol units available at any given time. 
CONCEPTUAL LANDSCAPING AND AMENITIES PLAN 
The proposed landscape theme for Granite Vista 2J will be consistent and accommodating of 
the overall Granite Vista Master Plan. The Granite Vistas landscape theme will borrow forms 
and materials reminiscent of the areas farming and ranching roots, drawing from the 
practicality found in the rural vernacular to influence its character and identity.  References to 
the five C’s - Citrus, Cotton, Cattle, Copper and Climate - will be subtly conveyed throughout 
the project through the materials, forms, and composition of the elements.  For example, citrus 
trees may be planted in groves, decorative copper details may be found on signs and structures, 
and icons of livestock ranching such as split rail fences may be included in the material palette.  
By drawing the landscape theme inspiration from the celebration of our collective history, a 
meaningful design can emerge. Experienced together, all of the landscape elements will tell a 
story about how this place came to exist. 
OUTREACH DEVELOPMENT CONDITIONS 
Throughout the Granite Vista entitlement process extensive neighbor outreach and 
communication has remained a top priority. As a component of the Public Participation Plan, 
several smaller neighbor group discussions, and negotiations, stemming from the first required 
neighborhood open house, have occurred. These small group meetings have been held with 
key neighbors and neighborhood representatives who are directly adjacent to Granite Vista 
and would be most impacted by the project development. Throughout this process the Granite 
Vista team has worked diligently to provide compromised project design elements and certain 
development restrictions which will be required throughout the implementation of the Granite 
Vista Master Plan, culminating in a written “Neighborhood Conditions” agreement accepted 
by these various stakeholders. The stakeholder neighborhood groups affected by the Granite 
Vista Phase 2J Final plat are the “Crystal Springs Estates Neighborhood” (located to the west).

As a result of the extensive neighborhood outreach and creation compromised planning 
elements within Granite Vista, the agreed upon specialized development conditions are 
considered to be regulatory in nature to be implemented over time as the project expands to 
touch these surrounding neighborhoods, and as described in the Granite Vista Development 
Master Plan. Per Figure 2, Neighborhood Buffers and Transitions Exhibit, specific conditions 
which shall be adhered to for Phase 2J of Granite Vista as follows, 
Crystal Springs Estates Neighborhood (Located west of Phase 2J) – Development Parcels C4  
3. The lots within 200’ of the neighborhood edge shall be a minimum 10,000 square feet in 
area and all homes constructed on these lots shall be single story height.  
Project Response Action: 
These lots will be restricted in height and meet the minimum square footage requirement.
