boutique-style exercise studio that is just under the 5,000 square feet size required 
for such a facility under the Glendale Zoning Code. The exercise studio offers limited 
classes and class sizes. The facility is located within an existing commercial 
shopping center.  
 
2. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN ELEMENTS 
The submitted Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) included an aerial photo of the site 
and a brief description of the project. The approved notification letter which was sent 
out is attached. There is a section describing the parties affected by the application 
which includes the surrounding commercial and residential property owners. The 
notification buffer is 600’ for the neighborhood notification letter, however was 
expanded to include the yellow expanded area.  
 
No neighborhood meeting was required for this request per staff.  
 
3. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION EFFORTS

Number of individuals notified: Neighborhood letters were mailed to 401 unique 
property owner addresses.    
 
4. PUBLIC FEEDBACK 
The deadline for public comment was July 10th, 2025.  
A neighborhood letter was mailed to all property owners within the expanded buffer 
zone of the subject property on June 25, 2025.  
The Upfront Planning team received two comments from the public. One neighbor 
called believing she received the letter in error and Mar Khamis called to state he 
was in support on June 29th, 2025.   
The primary Glendale staff planner for this case, Joseline Castaneda, received one 
phone call regarding the case also from Mar Khamis. This comment expressed 
support with no further information given.  
Due to no public comments, no revisions were made to the proposal.

Subject Case: CUP25-06; Burn Boot Camp  
Dear Neighbor, 
This letter is to inform you that I am applying for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 
application with the City of Glendale in order to operate a boutique-style exercise studio. 
The property is located within an existing shopping center at the northeast corner of 59th 
Avenue and Beardsley Road at 20329 N. 59th Avenue, Glendale, AZ 85301 in the Cholla 
District. This studio is a combination of four (4) suites with primary access through Suite 
A2, which will be 4,780 square feet in size. The hours of operation are Monday-
Saturday in the mornings and evenings from 5:00AM to 9:30AM and 5:00PM to 6:00PM. 
Classes will have a maximum of 102 participants and will only take place indoors; no 
outdoor use will occur. We will also offer a childcare service onsite for our clients.  
I have included an aerial photograph of the site indicating the studio location as a red 
square and floor plan of the studio to show the layout with this letter for your review. You 
may write, email, or call using the contact information above or by contacting Joseline 
Castaneda for the City of Glendale at 623-930-2823. Comments must be received by
