Glendale Elementary School District 
7301 N. 58th Avenue 
Glendale, AZ  85301 
Dear Superintendent Segotta-Jones: 
This letter is being sent to you pursuant to the City of Glendale Planning and Development Department School 
District notification requirement for zoning classification changes. We represent Gorman & Company (“Gorman”), a 
nationally recognized developer of affordable housing who is committed to community revitalization and stability. 
Since 1984, Gorman has developed thousands of affordable dwellings across the country, including the Glendale 
Enterprise Lofts (at 63rd and Glendale Avenues) and Ironwood Village, a formerly troubled apartment complex at 45th
Avenue, south of Glendale Avenue. Gorman intends to file a minor General Plan Amendment and Planned Area 
Development (PAD) rezoning request for the approximate 14.6 gross acres of vacant property located southeast of the 
intersection of N. 67th Avenue and W. Glendale Avenue (the “Property”) to accommodate a high-quality housing 
development that will fulfill the City’s need for more affordable housing. Please find enclosed an aerial map of the 
Property, a conceptual site plan, and a school district response form. 
Please be advised that we are applying for a Minor General Plan Amendment which will change the Property’s 
land use designation from High Density Residential 12-20 du/ac to Downtown Mixed Use. We are also applying for a 
Planned Area Development with Centerline Overlay District to allow 368 residential units at a density of 25.14 
dwelling units per acre. Gorman is proposing to develop three and four story structures at 40 and 60 feet in height, 
respectively, to provide affordable housing to the surrounding community. The Property is being developed with a 
wellness theme, and will include a continuous walking path and other health-conscious amenities. 
You are requested to respond to me within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of this notification, if 
possible, by utilizing the enclosed school district response form. A self-addressed, stamped envelope is enclosed 
for your convenience. If you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me 
at (602) 256-4448 or cgriemsmann@gblaw.com.
