Figure 1, Vicinity Map This application for Final Plat is being made to expedite the implementation of the proposed Development Master Plan. This application for Final Plat will comply with the requirements outlined within Chapter 2 (Subdivision Application & Approval) of the Maricopa County Subdivision Regulations and Final Plat process packet as issued by the Planning and Development Department. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL The Final Plat for Granite Vista Phase 2J represents a portion of the second phase of the larger Development Master Plan consisting of 443 approximate total acres. This proposed phased area encompasses a total of 20.05 gross acres which include 58 single-family residential lots GRANITE VISTA A Master Planned Community by Elliott Homes Arizona 3 on one development parcels, previously designated as parcel C4. These parcels are identified as follows per the Granite Vista Zoning District Plan and Development Master Plan Land Use Plan. Development Parcel Number Approved Zoning District C4 (Phase 2J) R1-7 RUPD PAD 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 lots and Proposed future school site that make up the Granite Vista Master Plan development. West: Crystal Springs Estates Neighborhood comprised of a mix of single-family residential owners occupy the few parcels adjacent to this development. Parcels C3 and C2 comprised of a mix of single-family residential lots that make up the Granite Vista Master Plan development. South: Parcels B4 and B5 comprised of a mix of single-family residential lots that make up the Granite Vista Master Plan development. 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. GRANITE VISTA A Master Planned Community by Elliott Homes Arizona 4 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. GRANITE VISTA A Master Planned Community by Elliott Homes Arizona 5 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.

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.

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).
