35.6.202 Common Procedures
The preparation and filing of applications for land use permits, entitlements, amendments and other matters
pertaining to this UDC shall comply with the following common procedures, unless an exception to the
common procedure is expressly identified in subsequent sections of this UDC. Subsequent sections include
additional provisions that are unique to each type of application, including staff and review board
assignments and approval criteria.
A. Pre-Application
Prior to application for any general plan amendment, rezoning request, special district, conditional
use permit, subdivision plat, variance, appeal, design review, or any other review or permit process,
a preapplication review with the Development Services Department will be required. The purpose
of the preapplication review is:
1.
To familiarize the Development Services Department with the request;
a.
To determine application requirements and familiarize the applicant with the
review process and procedures;
b.
To identify land use and development policies which may affect the outcome of
the request;
c.
To permit a cursory technical review at a conceptual stage to identify conflicts in
objectives and to identify potential solutions for those conflicts; and
d.
To identify the requirements for citizen participation and familiarize the
applicant with related issues.
B. Complete Application
1.
Completed applications shall be submitted to the Development Services Department on a
form and in such a manner as established by the Development Services Director or
designee.
2.
In accordance with A.R.S. §9-835, the Development Services Department shall publish an
application schedule, which prescribes the necessary deadline for submitting specified
application types in advance of being reviewed by the appropriate decisionmaking body
pursuant to this UDC or the A.R.S. Complete Application.
3.
The Development Services Department will evaluate an application for completeness. An
application shall contain an application form, any information specifically required by this
ordinance, such additional information specified by the Development Services Director or
designee, and when required, a fee. An application must be made by the property owner or
his authorized agent. An applicant will be notified within ten (10) working days if the
application is incomplete. If incomplete, no review or public hearing will be scheduled,
AND THE APPLICANT WILL BE ISSUED AN OFFICIAL WRITTEN NOTICE
CONTAINING A COMPREHENSIVE AND SPECIFIC LIST OF DEFICIENCIES.
ONCE THE NOTICE IS ISSUED, THE APPLICATION REVIEW WILL BE

SUSPENDED UNTIL RESUBMITTAL. UPON RESUBMITTAL, IT WILL BE
DETERMINED WHETHER THE DEFICIENCIES HAVE BEEN RESOLVED AND
THE APPLICATION DETERMINED COMPLETE WITHIN TEN (10) WORKING
DAYS. If an application fee has been paid, such fee will be refunded if the Unified
Development Code application continues to be incomplete thirty (30) days after an initial
incomplete submittal.
4.
When an application is determined to be complete, it will be scheduled for a review or
public hearing as required by this UDC. If the review authority (Commission, Board, City
Council, or staff) determines additional information is required to adequately evaluate an
application, any such additional information shall be submitted by the applicant not later
than sixty (60) days from notification of the applicant unless a specific date is otherwise
established by the review authority. Failure to provide additional information in the time
specified will result in the application being deemed incomplete, the file closed and no
refund of application fees made.
5.
The city shall approve or deny the application within one hundred eighty (180) days
of determining the application complete with the following exceptions:
a.
STAFF MAY GRANT A ONE-TIME EXTENSION OF NOT MORE THAN
THIRTY (30) DAYS FOR EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES; OR
b.
STAFF 
MAY 
GRANT 
EXTENSIONS

PLANNED AREA DEVELOPMENTS (PADS).
5. 6.  When a project requires approvals under more than one section of the UDC, the individual
applications may be processed concurrently at the option of the Development Services Director
or designee, and with the approval of the applicant; provided, however, rezoning applications
may not be approved simultaneously with Major General Plan Amendments. Rezone
applications can only be approved sequentially after Major GPA adoption; the rezone
application will be cancelled if the Major GPA is not adopted. Minor GPAs may be processed
concurrently with other applications. The concurrent processing of applications shall be in all
cases at the applicant’s risk.
6) 7.  At the discretion of the Development Services Director or designee, or where otherwise
required by this UDC, A.R.S., or Federal law, an application filed in compliance with this UDC
may be referred to any public agency that may be affected by or have an interest in the proposed
land use activity.

vi.
How the applicant will keep the Development Services Department
informed on the status of their citizen participation efforts.
c.
The level of citizen interest and area of involvement will vary depending on the
nature of the application and the location of the site. The target area for early
notification will be determined by the applicant after consultation with the

the following:
i.

prior to formal application at their discretion. This shall not occur until after the
required pre-application meeting and consultation with the Development
Services Department staff.
2.

This section applies only when a citizen participation plan is required by the
ordinance codified in this section.

35.6.204 Public Notice
No public hearing shall be conducted without first providing notice to the affected parties.
A. Newspaper. Notice shall be placed in the newspaper of general circulation of the area, or newspaper
designated by the City Council for legal public notices, advertising the type and nature of the public
hearing at least fifteen (15) full calendar days prior to the date of the scheduled public hearing, not

Unified Development Code shall be published in a "display ad" covering not less than one-eighth
(⅛) of a full page.
B. Site Posting. Notice shall be posted in at least one conspicuous location per street frontage of the
subject property. For subject properties that are greater than forty (40) acres in area with street
frontage(s), postings shall be placed along each street frontage so as to ensure at least one posting
for each quarter-mile (1,320 feet). For applicable sites with no street frontage, postings shall be
installed on the property in locations clearly visible to abutting residents so as to ensure at least one
posting for each quarter-mile (1,320 feet). To enhance notification of required neighborhood
meetings at preliminary stages of the application process, applicants shall install a sign on the
property along each street frontage and in locations clearly visible to abutting residents so as to
ensure at least one posting for each quarter-mile (1,320 feet). All signs shall set forth the purpose,
time, date, and place of the neighborhood meeting.
1.
Site posting(s) shall be located outside of the public right-of-way, unless documented
permission from the Development Services Director or designee, has been granted. Such

District.
2.
Site posting(s) shall be placed on the property and updated with public hearing information
at least twenty (20) full calendar days prior to the date of the first scheduled public hearing.

notification distance stated in Table 6.200-2 of this Section shall be sent notice by first class mail,
postmarked at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date of the scheduled public hearing.

Due to the potential impact of a project that may extend beyond the required minimum notification
distance, required notification distances shall be increased by 30%, if at least one of the following
conditions exist:

A zoning or land use request would result in conversion of a single-family residence
designation to a multi-family residence designation or non-residential designation (and
vice versa).

A zoning or land use request may result in the need to change an existing roadway
classification, revise an existing roadway alignment, or warrant the installation of a traffic
signal.
Further, the required notification area shall be extended to all parcels located within the Plat(s)
associated with parcels that fall within the required notification distance.
ZONING THAT ABUTS OTHER MUNICIPALITIES AND/OR UNINCORPORATED
AREAS OF THE COUNTY OR IS IN THE NOTIFICATION DISTANCE (TABLE 6.200-2

DEFINED IN A.R.S. § 28-8461, THE NOTICE SHALL BE SENT FIRST CLASS MAIL TO
THE PLANNING AGENCIES AND/OR MILITARY AIRPORT AND/OR FACILITY.
ZONING NOT INITIATED BY THE PROPERTY OWNER REQUIRES THE CITY TO
PROVIDE NOTICE BY FIRST CLASS MAIL TO REAL PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN
NOTIFICATION DISTANCE (TABLE 6.200-2 OF THIS SECTION) IF THE ZONING MAY
CHANGE THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION AND/OR IS DIRECTLY GOVERNED BY
ANY COMBINATION OF THE FOLLOWING CHANGES:

property subject to the application as shown on the last assessment of the property.
3.
The size and format of the notification mailer shall be in accordance with policies
established by the Development Services Department.
4.   IN HIGH NOISE OR ACCIDENT POTENTIAL ZONES AS DEFINED BY A.R.S. §
28-8461, THE NOTICE SHALL INCLUDE A GENERAL STATEMENT THAT THE
MATTER IS IN A HIGH NOISE AND/OR ACCIDENT POTENTIAL ZONE.
4. 5.   The public hearing notification process shall be managed and executed by the City. All
associated notification and postage fees shall be calculated and submitted to the applicant for
collection at the time of the first formal submittal.
D. Notwithstanding the notice requirements set forth in this Section, the failure of any person or entity
to receive notice shall not constitute grounds for any court to invalidate the action for which the
notice was given. No public hearing shall be conducted without first providing notice to the affected
parties.

E. Continuances. Items scheduled for public hearing which have been continued, for any reason, to a
date-specific hearing by the same body and occurring within sixty (60) days of the original hearing,
are not required to be re-noticed. The Development Services Director or designee may require re-
notification as a courtesy should unique circumstances exist in which re-notification would benefit
the community. Items remanded to a lower-tier hearing body for reconsideration shall be re-noticed
in accordance with this Section.
The following are the proposed revisions to Section 35.6.207.F:

Findings
1.
Amendment to the Unified Development Code text and official Zoning Map of the City of

a.
The amendment is consistent with the policies and objectives of the Glendale
General Plan;

b.
The proposed amendment furthers the public health, safety and general welfare
of the citizens of Glendale; and
c.
If the amendment is to the official Zoning Map, the proposed change will include
any conditions necessary to mitigate any adverse impacts on businesses, persons,
or properties adjacent to the requested amendment.
J.
Change of Classification of Requested Zone District. In the event an application is made for an
amendment to change the official Zoning Map from a more restrictive district to a less restrictive
district, the Planning Commission or City Council may approve the application or grant the
amendment for a district which is more restrictive than requested in the application and less
restrictive than the existing classification, without the necessity of a new or amended application
and without the necessity of giving new or additional notice.
K. Re-application. In cases where the amendment has been denied, no application for an amendment
for the same or substantially the same request and, in the case of a map amendment on the same or
substantially the same property shall be filed within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date
of denial of the amendment.
L. Adequate School Facilities
1.
The provisions of this section shall apply only to applications for residential rezoning
which will increase the projected number of students for any school district's school
attendance area as a result of the proposed rezoning. The applicability of this section
includes applications for rezoning which change zoning classifications from non-
residential to residential classifications and rezonings which change residential zoning
classifications to a higher density residential classification. A school district's school
attendance areas shall be the attendance boundaries adopted for each public school by the
applicable school district.
2.
No rezoning application shall be considered complete under Section 35.6.202 until the
applicant provides a letter from the appropriate school district which certifies any of the
following, or the time period for the school district's response to a request for certification
has expired under subsection 4 below:
a.
That the school district has adequate school facilities to accommodate the
projected number of new students within the school district's attendance area; or
b.
That the school district will have adequate school facilities by a planned capital
improvement to be constructed within one (1) year and located within the school
district's attendance area; or
c.
That the school district has determined an existing or proposed charter school
can provide adequate school facilities; or
d.
That the applicant and the school district have entered into an agreement to
provide, or help to provide, adequate school facilities within the school district's
attendance area in a timely manner; or
e.
That the school district does not have adequate school facilities to accommodate
projected growth attributable to the rezoning.
The projected number of new students resulting from the application for rezoning shall be
based upon a student per-household ratio methodology adopted by the appropriate school
district. If a school district fails to adopt a student per-household ratio methodology for
projecting the number of new students resulting from an applicant's rezoning application,
then the school district shall base its certification upon an authoritative source accepted
within the education community.
3.
For purposes of this section, adequate school facilities shall be determined by the
appropriate school district in accordance with the minimum school facility adequacy
guidelines adopted by the School Facilities Board pursuant to A.R.S. § 15-2011, and any
subsequent amendments made thereto, as applied to each individual school site's

attendance area for each individual school serving the property being considered for
rezoning.
4.
Applications for rezoning subject to this section shall follow the following procedures:
a.
At the time of filing an application for rezoning subject to this section, all
applicants for rezoning shall provide a copy of a letter delivered to the
superintendent(s) of all applicable school districts which contains an offer to
meet with school district representatives to discuss the school district's
certification required by subsection 2 above.
b.
After the filing of the rezoning application, the City shall deliver by certified or
registered mail a copy of the application and a site location map to each affected
school district located within the area requested to be rezoned. In addition, the
City shall request the school district to provide the required certification
provided for in subsection 2 above, on a form to be provided by the City, within
thirty (30) days to the City of Glendale care of the Development Services
Director. For good cause, the thirty (30) daytime period may be extended at the
request of the applicant or the school district. In the event the City does not
receive certification from the school district within thirty (30) days, or any
extension thereof, it shall be deemed that there are adequate school facilities for
the proposed rezoning. The school district's response time to a request for
certification shall be determined by the date of mailing of the request for
certification from the City. For purposes of computing the thirty (30) day
certification time period, the date of mailing from which the designated period
of time begins to run shall not be included. In the event the last day for receipt
of the certification occurs on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the applicable
certification time period runs until the end of the next work day.
c.
After providing the certification required by subsection 2, or the school district's
failure to respond to the request for certification within thirty (30) days, or any
extension thereof, the application shall proceed to be processed in accordance
with Section 35.6.207 of the zoning ordinance and all other applicable
ordinances.
d.
In the event that the appropriate school district certifies that there are not
adequate school facilities for the proposed rezoning, the Development Services
Director or designee shall notify the applicant in writing that the school district
has determined that it does not have adequate school facilities for the rezoning.
