NARRATIVE 
 
I. 
INTRODUCTION 
 
On behalf of IndiCap Inc. (“IndiCap”), an experienced industrial developer, we are 
requesting a new Planned Area Development (“PAD”) for an approximately 9.49 gross, 8.84 net, 
acre site located north of the northwest corner of Bethany Home Road and the Loop 303 Freeway 
(the “Site”). IndiCap requests this PAD to facilitate a quality light industrial development. An 
Aerial of the Site is provided at Exhibit 1. IndiCap’s proposed development will make good use 
of this underutilized Site and will benefit the area. 
 
II. 
SITE, SURROUNDING AREA, AND EXISTING GENERAL PLAN & ZONING 
 
The Site is designated “Luke Compatible Land Use Area” on the General Plan and is part 
of the existing Cotton Properties PAD—which allows for a mixture of industrial and commercial 
uses. The Cotton Properties PAD was approved in 2020 and is comprised of approximately 161 
acres, much of which has developed with industrial uses. 
 
The Site is designated for commercial uses under the Cotton Properties PAD and is 
currently vacant. The Site is bounded by the Loop 303 on the east, a planned industrial 
development to the north, an existing industrial development to the west, and a planned 
commercial development to the south.  
 
This Site has failed to develop under its existing zoning. Commercial developments require 
access and visibility from the road in order to be viable. This Site, which has no direct access or 
visibility from Bethany Home Road, is not well suited for commercial uses. These factors, as well 
as surrounding uses, make industrial development a more appropriate use for the Site. Importantly, 
this request does not eliminate viable commercial sites. While this PAD does request to designate 
the IndiCap Site for light industrial uses, there is still the opportunity for commercial uses on 
adjacent sites along Bethany Home Road. 
 
 
III. 
PROPOSED PAD 
 
A main objective of PAD zoning is to encourage innovative development or redevelopment 
concepts for all land use types to provide a greater variety and intensity of uses. The intent of this 
PAD is to accomplish that objective by zoning this underutilized Site to PAD for a high-quality 
industrial development. The proposed PAD accomplishes the PAD zoning objective by providing 
additional land uses that are appropriate for the area and will be a sustainable solution to an 
underutilized Site. 
 
A. Permitted Uses 
 
Permitted uses, conditionally permitted uses, and special uses for this PAD are those listed 
in Appendix A of this PAD document, all other uses are prohibited.

5 
 
B. Proposed Development, Architecture, and Landscaping 
 
IndiCap anticipates developing the Site with two buildings, approximately 98,000 and 
39,168 square feet respectively, along with associated vehicular parking, landscaping, and other 
improvements. The anticipated clear heights of the building will be between 24’ and 28’. See 
Exhibit 2, Conceptual Site Plan. The architectural design of the building will be high-quality, 
attractive, and fitting with the area. See Exhibit 3, Conceptual Building Elevations. The Site 
will also be amply landscaped, with a variety of trees, shrubs, and groundcovers to screen the 
Site, create an attractive presence, and provide shade in appropriate locations. See Exhibit 4, 
Preliminary Landscape Plan.  
The architectural style of this development is encouraged to be in general conformance 
with the conceptual elevations and colors and materials provided in Exhibit 3 and 5. 
Additionally the following standards shall apply. 
1. The development should utilize high quality durable materials such as concrete 
and metal. 
2. At least two different materials and at least two different colors should be 
utilized on each elevation. 
3. Elements such as (but not limited to) articulation of wall planes (vertical or 
horizontal offsets), variation of building materials, textures, reveals, colors and 
variation of roof forms or parapets, and other similar methods should be 
utilized to create visual interest. 
4. Roof-top mechanical equipment should be screened from the line-of-site 
though the use of parapet walls or similar elements ground-mounted 
mechanical equipment shall also be screened from view.

Landscape Area  
Building 
Base 
(For 
Permitted 
Non-
Residential Uses): An average 5-foot-wide 
landscape area shall be required between the 
principal building and nearest parking area 
and/or drive aisle for 50% of the principal 
building front elevation and 25% of each side 
elevation. Rear elevations are exempt from this 
requirement. 
Street Frontage: A landscape area along the 
street frontage of any building, on-site parking 
area or outdoor storage area and the nearest 
point of the existing or future required 
street/sidewalk improvements (the back of an 
existing sidewalk, the line equal to the back of 
a future required sidewalk, or the back of the 
street curb where no sidewalk is required) shall 
be required as follows: 
 
North 10’ 
 
East 10’ 
 
South 10’, except that 0’ shall be provided 
where the property line is located within a 
shared drive.  
 
 
1 FAA form 7460 approval is needed for all structures over 30 feet. A letter from Luke Air Force Base is required.

7 
 
West 10’ 
 
Where any development on site has an 
enclosed yard or storage area enclosed by a 
masonry wall, no landscape setback is 
required within the yard area. 
 
Parking area: A minimum of 1 landscape 
island every 10 spaces shall be required; each 
island shall be no less than 8 feet wide (inside, 
curb-to-curb dimension) for the length of the 
adjacent parking space(s). A minimum of 1 
landscape median for every two hundred (200) 
parking spaces shall be required. Landscape 
medians shall extend the length of the parking 
area and shall be a minimum eight (8) feet wide 
(inside, curb-to-curb dimension) and provide 
one ADA compliant pedestrian sidewalk or 
crossing that leads to the principal building 
entrance 
or 
on-site 
primary 
pedestrian 
circulation system. 
Planting Specifications 
All landscape areas:  
• A minimum of one tree and five shrubs 
per 600 square feet of landscape area. 
• No trees shall be permitted within a 
Public Utility Easement (PUE) 
Use Buffers:  
• A minimum of one screening tree per 
25 linear feet of required buffer area 
Street Frontage:  
• A minimum of one tree and five shrubs 
(or groundcover subject to UDC Table 
4.100-5) per 30 linear feet of street 
frontage.   
• Trees and shrubs may be clustered to 
improve visibility of signage and store 
fronts and should be placed in a manner 
that provides shade for pedestrians.  
• Reverse 
street 
frontage. 
All 
developments that back or side onto a 
street and which have a six-foot 
screening wall constructed on the 
property line shall install within the 
street right-of-way contiguous with the 
property one tree and three shrubs for 
every thirty (30) feet of such reverse

8 
 
street frontage. Except that no such 
wall is required on the west side of the 
site. 
• Groundcover 
placed 
within 
sight 
visibility triangle areas should adhere 
to the “Drought Tolerant Groundcover 
Selection for COG ROW Sight 
Triangle Areas”.  
Parking Areas:  
• A minimum of one tree and two shrubs 
per single landscape island 
• A minimum of two trees and four 
shrubs per double landscape island 
• A minimum of one tree and three 
shrubs per 30 linear feet of landscape 
median  
 
Landscape Materials 
Provided in Appendix C 
Outdoor Storage 
Any outdoor storage shall be screened from 
view of any street with an 8-foot CMU block 
wall. 
 
 
We request a deviation from the UDC requirement of a sound wall given the existing APS 
easement which does not permit permanent structures. Even though there will not be a sound wall 
on the east property line of the Site, landscaping will buffer and screen the Site from the adjacent 
Loop 303 freeway and truck loading and parking areas will be screened.  Given the surrounding 
existing and future uses, and the proximity of Luke Airforce base there will be no negative impacts 
by this deviation.  Further, the reduction in landscape setback adjacent to local streets likewise will 
not be harmful considering surrounding uses and nature of the shared drives. 
 
We request a deviation from the UDC requirement for a 4-foot wall adjacent to any street 
for the western portion of the Site.  Instead, a mesh fence with vines will be provided for screening. 
This fence will sufficiently screen the Site from the internal drive and will be more attractive than 
a block wall. See Exhibit 6, Mesh Fence Detail.  
 
D. Circulation, Access, Traffic, Etc.  
 
Access and circulation have been thoughtfully designed to be efficient, safe, and 
coordinated with surrounding existing and future developments. The Site will be accessed by a 
private drive off Bethany Home Road, which also serves several adjacent parcels.  
 
E. Parking 
 
All vehicular parking areas shall comply with the requirements as set forth below:

9 
 
Minimum Stall Size 
10’ x 20’ 
Drive Aisle (minimum) 
23’ 
Fire Lane (minimum) 
20’ 
Landscape Island Size 
8’ 
 
 
Loading and unloading provisions are provided in Appendix D. Required Parking Ratios 
are provided in Appendix E. 
 
F. Signs 
 
All signage shall be in conformance with the below regulations for total building sign area. 
All other signage shall comply with the City of Glendale’s sign codes applicable to industrial uses, 
under Section 35.4.309 of the 2024 Unified Development Code. 
o 1.75 square feet per 1 linear foot of business frontage or 50 square feet, whichever 
is greater. 
o Maximum square feet based on business square footage: 
§ 200 sf maximum signage for businesses <40,000 sf; 
§ 350 sf maximum signage for businesses 40,000 sf to 80,000 sf; 
§ 500 sf maximum signage for businesses >80,000 sf; 
 
G. Phasing  
 
IndiCap anticipates the Site being developed in a single phase. 
 
H. Lighting  
 
All lighting shall comply with the City of Glendale’s lighting requirements, including 
Section 35.4.400 of the 2024 Unified Development Code. 
  
IV. 
INFRASTRUCTURE  
 
As an infill development, utilities already exist in the area. The developer shall coordinate 
with the appropriate utility departments regarding appropriate connections.

V. 
PAD ZONING DISTRICT CONFORMANCE 
 
This request meets the requirements of Section 35.2.901.A of the 2024 Unified 
Development Code and the intent of the PAD district as described in Section 35.2.901 Planned 
Area Development: 
 
1. Encourage creative and effective use of land and circulation systems to 
accommodate changes in land development technologies. 
 
This PAD will make good use of this underutilized Site and be a viable and sustainable 
solution. This proposed development will complement and support surrounding uses.  
 
2. Encourage residential development to provide a mixture of housing types and 
designs. 
 
This request will not eliminate any residential zoning or uses. It will bring employment 
opportunities for those who live, or wish to live, in the area. 
 
3. Encourage innovative development or redevelopment concepts for all land use types 
to provide a greater variety and intensity of uses. 
 
The proposed development is an innovative and appropriate use for the Site and area and 
makes good use of this Site that is not being used to its full potential. This development adds to 
the variety and intensity of uses in the area while still being appropriate for the Site and area. 
 
4. Provide a process which relates the urban design and scale of project to the unique 
characteristics of the site. 
 
The proposed development has been thoughtfully designed to fit the Site and surrounding 
area. The site plan has been designed to make the best use of this Site that has not been developed 
under the existing PAD. 
 
5. Require the nature and intensity of development to be supported by adequate utilities, 
transportation, drainage, and common open spaces to serve the development and to minimize 
impact on existing or future adjacent development. 
 
The proposed development on this underutilized infill Site will be supported by adequate 
open space, utilities, transportation, and drainage.  
 
6. Encourage development that is consistent with the policies and the guidelines 
established in any specific plan and the General Plan. 
 
IndiCap’s proposed PAD and development is appropriate for the Luke Compatible Land 
Use Area designation, is appropriate for the Loop 303 Corridor/Growth Area, and is supported by 
the following goals and policies of the General Plan:

11 
 
Policy LU-5.3 – The City shall pursue a better balance of jobs to housing in the community 
by increasing local employment and thereby reducing travel demand and improving quality 
of life. 
 
Goal GA-1.1 Glendale’s Growth Area’s have well-paying, high-quality jobs. 
 
Policy GA-1.3 The City shall assign higher priorities to projects that foster City 
employment and revenue objectives. 
 
Goal GA-3 – Growth is achieved through reasonable, responsible urban development. 
 
IndiCap’s proposed PAD will facilitate well-planned, quality development that will benefit 
the area and further the goal of a balanced job to housing ratio. 
 
VI. 
CONCLUSION 
 
This high-quality industrial development will be a welcome addition to the area and will 
complement existing and future surrounding uses. The proposed PAD will facilitate the 
development of this vacant Site with a complementary development that is consistent with the 
intent and overall vision of the original Cotton Properties PAD.

Appendix B – Accessory Building Regulations 
A. Unless specifically expressed herein, accessory buildings and structures shall adhere to the 
following:  
1. All principal uses allowed in a zoning district shall be deemed to include those 
accessory buildings, structures, and activities typically associated with the use 
as described in the principal uses definition provided in UDC Article 8 - 
Definitions, unless otherwise specified, or specifically prohibited, within this 
Section. 
2. No accessory building or structure shall occur or be permitted on any lot or 
parcel until the principal building or use has been established or erected; unless 
both principal and accessory buildings and uses are conditional uses being 
established simultaneously.  
3. Unless otherwise expressly stated, accessory buildings and structures are 
subject to the same lot, building, and development regulations as apply to 
principal uses and buildings.  
4. Accessory buildings and structures must be operated and maintained under the 
same ownership and located on the same lot as the principal use to which they 
are accessory, unless otherwise expressly stated.  
5. Accessory buildings and structures shall not be used for living or sleeping 
quarters.  
6. If the principal building or use is destroyed, removed or ceases to exist, the 
utilization of the accessory building, structure, or use shall no longer be 
allowed.  
7. In the case of a conflict between the accessory building or structure standards 
of this Section and any other requirement of the UDC, the more restrictive 
standards shall control. 
B. Location standards for Accessory Buildings and Structures are as follows: 
1. All detached buildings and structures must be located behind the nearest front 
plane of the principal building.  
2. Accessory buildings and structures shall not be erected in any right-of-way or 
easement.  
3. No accessory building shall be located within six (6) feet if fire rated and ten 
(10) feet if not fire rated of the site’s principal building. If attached by any part 
of a common wall or covered roof to the principal building, said building shall 
be deemed a part of the principal building and shall conform to the development 
standards of the principal building.

18 
 
4. Accessory buildings or structures up to seven (7) feet in height, unless otherwise 
specified herein, shall maintain a minimum setback of three (3) feet to the side 
and rear property lines. 
5. For each foot over seven (7) feet in height, the side and rear setbacks for 
accessory buildings and structures shall be increased by two (2) feet, up to a 
maximum of the principal building setback requirements. For example, a

proposed onsite buildings or uses, including hours of operation and 
peak use time and demand for each proposed building or use. This 
analysis may also include other reliable data sources or collected 
from uses or combinations of uses that are the same as or 
comparable with the proposed use. 
b. The number and location of proposed onsite standard, compact, 
and ADA accessible parking spaces. 
c. All existing and anticipated available parking within the 
proposed development and within 660 feet of the proposed use.

Such information may include a traffic study. 
3. Any study that requests a reduction in parking requirements by 25 
percent or more shall further prepare a Transportation Management Plan 
(TMP) which shall be approved by the City and recorded with Maricopa 
County. The amount of parking reduction shall be discretionary to be

28 
 
determined by the City, and depends on the type and extent of strategies 
in the TMP, which may include: 
a. Transit passes or equivalent alternative transportation mode 
subsidies for tenants 
b. Alternative transportation information center located in the 
building 
c. Resident Carpool and/or Ridematch Program

m. Designation of a Transportation Coordinator to manage the 
TMP, actively monitor, pursue and report mode shift goals, and be 
a point of contact for the City. Where monitoring reports indicate 
that performance measures are not met, the City may require 
further program modifications. 
n. Other approaches accepted by the City that reduce parking 
demand. 
4. Criteria for evaluation of a Parking Justification Study shall include, but 
is not limited to:  
a. Impacts to abutting properties or right-of-ways, dedicated tracts, 
or easements

29
