Olive Groves Commercial PAD – Citizen Participation Final Report
1. Purpose
The purpose of this Citizen Participation is to ensure that there is early and effective citizen
participation in conjunction with the PAD rezoning application for Olive Groves PAD and that
there is sufficient opportunity for citizens to understand the request and provide input.
The Olive Groves PAD consists of a rezoning of approximately 6 acres currently zoned C-1
(Neighborhood Commercial) to a PAD which uses the C-2 (General Commercial) as the
template to allow for more retail and service opportunities for the adjacent residents within
the City of Glendale and unincorporated Maricopa County.
2. Notification Letter and Sign
A notification letter was sent to the following individuals on April 8, 2025.
• Property owners within 600 feet notification area surrounding the site. (Pursuant to
Table 6.200-2 of the Glendale Unified Development Code.) Exhibit A
• To all parcels located within the Plats associated within the 600’ notice area. (Pursuant
to 35.6.203(C) of the Glendale Unified Development Code.) Exhibit B
• Interested parties (list to be provided by the City of Glendale)
• Appropriate staff at the City of Glendale
A copy of the notification letter along with the Affidavit of Notice including all the mailing
labels, is included as Exhibit C.
Notification signs, one on each frontage, were posted on the property and the Affidavit of
Posting is included as Exhibit D.
3. Citizen Participation Meeting
A virtual outreach meeting was held via Microsoft Teams at 6:00pm on Wednesday April 23,
2025. The notification letters were sent and signs posted at least fifteen (15) calendar days
prior to the meeting.
Exhibit E includes a sign-in sheet created by meeting participant registration along with a
summary of the questions and comments from the meeting. While there were 22 individuals
that registered for the meeting, only seven persons attended the meeting, including
representation from the City (Senior Planner Phil Martinez) and the applicant’s architect (Matt
Sargent).

4. Other Communication
As a response to the notification letter, several recipients reached out via phone or email to
ask questions or express their comments and opinions on the PAD rezoning request. Exhibit F
includes a summary of the phone communication as well as a copy of all emails sent to the
applicant.
5. Concerns and Responses
As detailed in Exhibits E and F, concerns related to this PAD rezoning were received either
during the virtual outreach meeting or separately via email or phone conversations with the
applicant’s representative. Below is a list of concerns received as well as how each concern
had been or has not been addressed by the applicant team.
Concern: self-storage related to the potential height of 3 stories
Applicant’s Response: No changes have been made to the proposed PAD as a
result of this comment. The existing City of Glendale C-1 zoning of this
property currently allows building heights of 30 feet so a three-story building,
capped at 30 feet, is currently allowed on the property. As proposed, the
Olive Groves PAD uses the C-2 zoning as baseline standards, which for
building height continues to be 30 feet at the minimum setback from
residential and then allows a commensurate foot increase in height for every
two additional feet in setback, up to a maximum height of 56 feet. This is
detailed in Table 4.3 of the PAD. The Olive Groves PAD voluntarily caps a self-
storage building to three-stories maximum, while table 4.3 of the PAD would
also apply and regulates the final building height pursuant to the setback
from the residential property line.
The northwest corner of Olive and Citrus, directly west of the subject property
is zoned C-2 under Maricopa County jurisdiction. Under their standards, a
building could be built up to 40 feet in height, which includes a self-storage
building.
Concern: industrial uses
Applicant’s Response: No changes have been made to the proposed PAD as a
result of this comment. While the PAD does include some uses from the
“Industrial Use Category”, such as Data Center and Self-Storage, the
resident’s concern was directed towards the large manufacturing buildings
and warehouses with truck docks occurring to the east along the Loop 303
and Northern Parkway corridor and not light industrial or business park type
used that could reasonably occur on this small of a parcel.

NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND
INVITATION TO NEIGHBORHOOD OUTREACH MEETING
Re:
Rezoning from C-1 to PAD
Case Number: ZON23-04
Dear Neighbor:
This letter is being sent to notify you of a rezoning application we have filed with the City of
Glendale for the property at the northeast corner of the intersection of Citrus Road and Olive Avenue
within the Yucca Council District. You are listed as the owner of land near the subject property or have
registered with the City of Glendale to be notified of applications such as this.
The aerial photo below highlights the subject property, and limits of this rezoning request, for
your ease of review.
Olive Groves Outreach Notice
ZON23-04
Outreach Notice Letter.docx
The subject property, about six acres in size, is currently zoned for C-1 (Neighborhood
Commercial) within the City of Glendale. This zoning permits neighborhood level retail and services.
On behalf of the property owner, we are asking Glendale to rezone the property to PAD (Planned Area
Development). The PAD zoning will expand on the allowed commercial uses permitted on the property
in order to provide additional business and service options for area residents while also prohibiting those
uses that are not appropriate. The Olive Groves PAD uses the City’s C-2 (General Commercial) district
as a starting point, providing enhanced standards for certain uses such as drive-through restaurants, minor
auto service, or self-storage. As part of the PAD rezoning process, we are also prohibiting certain C-2
uses that could be considered undesirable, such as Funeral Homes, Major Auto Repair and Service,
Marijuana Dispensaries, Nightclubs, as well as Smoke and Vape Shops.
Attached is the excerpt of the Olive Groves PAD the lists the permitted (and prohibited) uses
along with an additional column (in green) that denotes those uses that are already permitted on the
subject property under the current City of Glendale C-1 zoning for your ease of reference. In this table,
those uses with a “P” are Permitted Uses and allowed and those “C” are considered Conditional Uses
which require the application of a Conditional Use Permit which includes a separate notice (such as this)
and special hearings hosted by the City to consider if specific use will be allowed as designed.
Also attached is a conceptual site plan illustrating a plan of how the property could be developed
under the proposed Olive Groves PAD. A complete copy of the PAD document can be provided via
email upon request.
You are invited to participate in a virtual outreach meeting to learn more about the rezoning
request.

Exhibit E
Meeting Summary
Presentation by Paul Gilbert began at 6:05.
Participant Comments or Questions:
Jeff Stokes: Likes idea of commercial on the parcel and expanding opportunities. He
might be interested in developing one of the pads himself. Does have a concern
for the self-storage related to the potential height of 3 stories and that they
sometimes be loud with unmaintained moving trucks.
Kaylavon Middleton: Didn’t know this area was in Glendale. (She missed the part of the
presentation where we showed maps of the Glendale City limits along with
zoning maps for both Glendale and Maricopa County, so this was presented
again.) She asked when would the development commence, which was
responded with “about a year and a half at the earliest” following the
completion of this zoning process and a separate Site Plan/Design Review
process with the City of Glendale.
Scott Toughill: Supports development. Does have similar concerns on height of self-
storage. Prefers two story max.
With no other questions or comments from the other participants, the virtual meeting was
ended at 6:40.

Subject:
NEC Olive Ave and Citrus Rd
Good afternoon,
I am contacting you to raise concerns of the proposed commercial development project at the northeast
corner of Olive Ave and Citrus Rd, which is close to my home. There has been overwhelmingly negative
feedback about this proposed development among the community members in the area. I am
concerned that this development is bad for residents in the area, and ultimately the city as well.
There has already been lots of negative public opinion regarding the warehouses being built (ex. 17200 W
Olive Ave) as they are an eyesore to the residential neighborhoods directly adjacent to it. It seems that
these projects are being completed with no regard for the nearby unincorporated neighborhoods. This
will undoubtedly affect the desirability of the neighborhood, quality of life, property values, public safety,
etc.
It seems another eyesore is being planned for this new project, including a 3-story storage facility and
several fast food or similar-style businesses. I don't think anyone wants this based on the opinions I have
seen in the various online groups of neighbors in the area. The 3-story storage facility is too large and
would be an eyesore to hundreds of residents in the area. I also do not think the several other fast
food/retail pads in this plan are appropriate. There are plenty of fast food and retail options being built 5-
10 minutes away from this location, and the land area seems too small to fit this many businesses.
Several of the neighborhoods in the area are unincorporated. It is my understanding this new
commercial site would be annexed by the City of Glendale, similar to many of the new warehouses and
other commercial properties in the area. My main concern regarding this development project, among
others, is that these "islands" of commercial/residential properties being annexed by the city are
extremely far from any City of Glendale amenities;
-Closest Glendale city park - 11 miles (New River Trail, which is not really a park and is the only city park
west of the Loop 101)
-Closest Glendale Fire Department or Police station - 14 miles
I do not believe this property would have the appropriate emergency services available to it. I am
concerned about the response time of police/fire services, and the fact that this would likely not be
regularly patrolled by GPD. I am also concerned that this development is not being accompanied by the
development of other city amenities such as public parks or community centers.
If the commercial development must occur, I strongly oppose rezoning the property to Planned Area
Development (PAD). The permitted uses under Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) would be much more
appropriate for the location if development were to happen. I think the development of a park, child care
center, community center, coffee shop, etc. would be great for the community and appropriate for
the location. I strongly oppose the larger-scale development proposed under the rezoning to PAD.
Thank you.

the commercial rights by expending some of the uses that are allowed and commensurately removes some use that
might otherwise be allowed. At this point, there are no final plans or permits for any uses, just this rezoning request.

Commercial development Olive/ Citrus
Regarding the notice we are getting in the mail for the lot on Olive and Citrus, they're planning a storage
unit, 3 drive thru restaurants, an automotive service, and a restaurant.
I want to go on record as opposing this project which is very close to my home. This project is way too
close to existing homes and a school. Children walk home through this intersection. Olive is already
dangerous and congested without the added pressure of commercial development. This lot should be
zoned for residential only.
Sincerely,
Melanie Colla

Future Plans for Citrus & Olive
Good morning,
As a resident of the Waddell area and a family that moved out here many years ago we would like you to reconsider
adding these businesses out here. My family moved to the outskirts of the city to enjoy a quieter life and were aware of
the driving we would have to do to go shopping etc.
I believe this will bring in a lot more unwanted traffic to the already crowded streets of our community.
Many of these ameniƟes that are planned are already in the surprise, Litchfield Park, and/or the Goodyear area which is
only a 10-15min drive.
Many people in our neighborhood and surrounding communiƟes have and will voice their concerns on this maƩer as we
have moved out to here to be away from the booming city area.
My family loves living in Waddell with our community, we really do not want to be chased out of our area by over
crowding.
Thank you for taking your Ɵme to read my email and hopefully considering a new locaƟon for your businesses.

Subject: Planned lot improvement on Olive and Citrus
All,
Good morning. I recently heard of the plans for the lot on the corner of Olive and Citrus to
erect a storage unit, several drive through dining options and a seated restaurant.
All I can really say is why? Why is it that we are already being built on top of, cramming
every little piece into something that YOU make a profit from, but burdens the lives of the
RESIDENTS! I seriously doubt any of you live in the area or have any concern for it, other
than making money. Hole it may not be directly your fault, but have you noticed the
already jam packed streets in our area? Again, no, you don’t live here, so why should you
care, oh that’s right…the dollar sign.
In a 4 mile stretch we have 2 on/off ramps; add the warehouses and that spells
disaster. What once took 5 minutes to get home, now can take 30 minutes and that’s just
from the 303 to Cotton Lane on Peoria. Again, why?
I am requesting a zoom/video invite to meeting on April 23rd.
In case there is any doubt, I firmly vote NO.
Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions,
Tim Talbott

Cortessa Resident - Objection to Rezoning on Olive & Citrus
Good evening,
I am a resident at 18045 W Onyx Ave., Waddell AZ. I am emailing to object to your planned rezoning. That is way to close
to my home for more drive through restaurants. It is actually not a good idea anyway due to its locaƟon being so close to
other fast food and storage units. But I object to this. Thanks!

Thank you for the outreach noƟce.
I was wondering if you have any signed LOI or leases already or know the prospecƟve retail properƟes?
The large 32k sq Ō building seems rather large for the property and was wondering what possible business would that
normally be, since I’m sure you’ve done similar developments.
If this will be at the meeƟng, I do plan on making every effort to aƩend the virtual meeƟng.
Thank you,
