Purpose of Request 
Gilbert Blilie PLLC, on behalf of MR Tanner Mining, Inc (parent company of the property owner of 
record Three Rocks LLC), is requesting the annexation of approximately 39 acres of land located 
southeast of the southeast corner of El Mirage Rd and Glendale Ave, APN 501-55-011C (referred to 
herein as the “Property”). Concomitantly, we are requesting a Minor General Plan Amendment from 
Parks and Open Space (POS)/Low Density Residential: 1 - 2.5 du/ac (LDR 2.5) to Heavy Industrial 
(HI), and a Rezone to M-2 with a Special Use Overlay for a sand and gravel mining operation across 
the 39-acre property being annexed.  
 
The approval of the annexation, general plan amendment, and rezone requests will allow the 
expansion of the adjacent Three Rocks LLC mining operation immediately to the west, as well as 
provide for a larger and more efficient mining operation for the Three Rocks LLC property 
immediately to the east that was recently purchased from the City of Glendale and entitled for sand 
and gravel mining operations in 2024.  
 
The approval of this mining operation constitutes Phase 2 of a multi-phase effort to mine the high-
quality aggregate resources within the Agua Fria River, then backfill the mined areas with inert fill 
once the aggregates are extracted for future redevelopment in the City of Glendale. Phase 1 was 
completed with the acquisition of the adjacent 48 acres from the City of Glendale and approved 
General Plan Amendment and Rezoning. Subsequent phases will include the annexation and 
development of the remaining Three Rocks LLC mining operation in the County as the mining pit is 
backfilled. 
 
Citizen Participation Plan Overview 
Affected Parties 
The Citizen Participation Plan discussed the primary parties potentially affected by the approval of 
these applications, including: 
• 
City of Glendale to the north 
• 
MR Tanner Mining, Inc to the east, which is the parent company of Three Rocks LLC and was 
recently approved of the same mining entitlements proposed for this project 
• 
Arizona State Trust land to the south, which also appears to be mining the Agua Fria river 
corridor 
 
Notification 
The Citizen Participation Plan also covered the notification procedures for informing the affected 
parties of the project and the requests. This included the following: 
• 
The applicant mailed notification letters on May 23, 2025 to those affected parties identified 
as part of this project, all property owners within 600 feet of the site, and other stakeholders, 
HOA representatives, and other interested parties as deemed appropriate by City of Glendale 
Staff. This notification letter provided information to recipients of the applications we 
submitted and invited them to the scheduled neighborhood meeting, which was held on June 
9, 2025 (see Exhibit A. Affidavit of Mailing). 
• 
A public notice sign was posted along Glendale Ave on May 29, 2025 providing information 
related to the request and details for the neighborhood meeting (see Exhibit B. Affidavit of 
Posting). 
 
Public Comments 
At this time, Gilbert Blilie, nor the City of Glendale, have not received any public comments relating to 
this project. However, Gilbert Blilie will continue to coordinate with City Staff if any public comments 
are received throughout the duration of the project, and which will be documented in this report.

Neighborhood Meeting 
Gilbert Blilie PLLC hosted a neighborhood meeting via Microsoft Teams on Monday, June 9, 2025 at 
6:00 pm to discuss the applications submitted to the City of Glendale and the proposed mining 
operation on the property. Notification letters inviting the neighbors and stakeholders to this meeting 
were mailed on May 23, 2025, along with a notification sign posting on Glendale Ave on May 29, 
2025. There were no participants present at the neighborhood meeting, resulting in no comments 
being made regarding the project from the public. 
 
Public Comments 
This section will be updated when and if any public comments are received relating to the proposed 
project.
