RE: General Plan Amendment and Rezoning request
Proposed Recreational Vehicle Resort
City Application Numbers: GPA22-09 and ZON22-17
Approximately 585 feet south of the southwest corner of 83rd Avenue
Glendale Avenue

Dear Superintendent Dr. Cruz,

This letter is being sent to you pursuant to the City of Glendale Planning Department
Adequate School Facilities notification policy for zoning classification changes.

Please be advised that we are applying for a General Plan Amendment and Zoning
change for an approximate 17 gross acres (15.82 net acres) property located
approximately 585 feet south of the southwest corner of 83rd Avenue Glendale Avenue
(see attached Aerial location map). On behalf of our client, Paul Davis Family - Davis
Enterprises, we have submitted this General Plan Amendment and Rezoning request.
The overall subject site consists of 4 parcels and is identified in Maricopa County
Assessor’s data base as APNs:102-03-006A, 102-03-006B, 102-03-008, and 102-03-
009. The property is being planned for a new Recreational Vehicle Resort.

The purpose of this request is to submit, process, and obtain approval for a Minor General
Plan Amendment and Rezoning for the proposed project. Both requests are being filed
concurrently.

The first request seeks a Minor General Plan Amendment (“GPA”) to change the existing
MDR 5 (Medium Density Residential 3.5 - 5.0 du/ac) and OFC (Office) land use
designations to GC (General Commercial) land use designation.

The second companion request seeks PAD (Planned Area Development) zoning on the
property to allow for a Recreational Vehicle Resort community. This request seeks a
rezoning from R-3 to PAD with amended development standards to allow a planned
Recreational Vehicle Resort development, which is an appropriate use next to the existing
mobile home park and near the City’s entertainment and sports corridor. Glendale
Recreational Vehicle Resort is designed as a community of Recreational Vehicle sites
with landscaped open space areas and amenities to provide guests with an attractive
environment to complement their visit to Glendale. The layout and design of Glendale
Recreational Vehicle Resort faces all lots on this property inward onto the property’s

2 | P a g e

internal loop street and open space. The Recreational Vehicle Resort will be designed to
attract the owners and users of high-end recreational vehicles.

The intent of this development is to create a luxury Recreational Vehicle Resort
community that brings in tourism and sets the bar for design and quality for this area using
high-quality design features and amenities. The goal is to create a high-quality luxury
development that enhances this area of the City. Because the existing and proposed
zoning could allow for multifamily residential, we are providing this letter and Adequate
School Certificate form for your review. While not the intent, if this site were developed as
multifamily is could allow up to 272 units.

As required per the above Planning Department policy, please find an aerial location map,
site plan, and Certification of Adequate School Facilities Form enclosed. You are
requested to respond to the City of Glendale Planning Department by utilizing the
Certification of Adequate School Facilities Form within 30 days of receipt of this
notification. If you would like to discuss the proposal, you can call me or Ric Toris, my in-
house planner, at (602) 265-0094 or email Ric at rtoris@earlcurley.com.

Sincerely,

Taylor C. Earl
Partner
