I. 
Introduction 
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. are the engineering consultants applying on behalf of the 
Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG). VEG is a 24-hour emergency veterinary hospital interested in 
opening a location at 7720 W Bell Road, Suite B, Glendale, AZ 85308. The site is located adjacent to the 
Arrowhead Towne Center and is between the intersections of W Bell Rd and N 77th/79th Ave. It is an 
existing building that was previously occupied by a retail use.  
Due to the site being zoned Planned Area Development (PAD) – Arrowhead Towne Center with an 
underlying General Commercial (C-2) zone, a Conditional Use Permit, which includes approval of a 
Citizen Participation (CP) Plan, is required to allow the veterinary hospital use.  
II. 
Applicant’s Proposal 
This application seeks approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow the veterinary hospital use. 
Pursuant to Section 35.2.502 of the City of Glendale Unified Development Code, a veterinary hospital use 
requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit. This Conditional Use Permit application is for the entire 
leasable area as shown on the Site Plan. 
VEG provides emergency veterinary care 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. When clients and 
their pets enter VEG doors, the animal is seen by a doctor right away. VEG hospitals are equipped to 
house the newest veterinary technology to handle emergencies with radiology suites, surgery sites, and 
in-house diagnostics. All operations are done inside the facility, and clients are able to stay with their pet 
through all phases of treatment. 
This proposed VEG location is anticipated to have 16 to 20 staff members. Staff is on site 24 hours a 
day and typically 5 to 8 staff members are on site at a time. Busiest time is anticipated to be 6:00 pm to 
10:00 pm. Approximately 2 to 3 patients are seen per hour. 
The Applicant is excited to bring a 24-hour veterinary clinic operation to the City of Glendale. The 
intensity of the use is appropriate to serve the residents of Glendale and their pets that may need 
emergency veterinary care.  
 
III. 
Citizen Participation Plan Reflection 
The CP Plan detailed the process of mailing letters to potentially affected property owners, 
neighborhood groups, and interested parties. Elements of the CP Plan included a notification area map 
(see Appendix A), a list of notified parties (see Appendix B), a copy of the approved notification letter (see 
Appendix C), an identification of possible public concerns, and methods of collecting and reporting citizen 
input. The notification letters were mailed on January 20, 2025, and an Affidavit of Mailing was submitted 
as confirmation (see Appendix D). A total of 75 individuals were notified. No citizen input via mail, phone, 
or email was returned during the 10-day notification period. We did not receive any feedback regarding 
issues or problems concerning this proposal and have confirmed with our project planner that they did not 
receive anything on their end either.
