SUMMARY / FINAL REPORT 
On behalf of Airpark 30 LLC (Property Owner) and ViaWest Group (Future Owner/Developer) 
Gilmore Planning & Landscape Architecture (Applicant) respectfully submits this summary report 
reviewing the results of the Citizen Participation for this North PAD Application.  The intent for this 
PAD is to retain the existing Light Industrial (M-1) zoning, but add a PAD Overlay that will amend 
certain development standards that reflect the current industry criteria for building heights, site 
coverage, parking ratio, and respects the sensitive relationship and proximity with Luke AFB.  This 
report reviews our effort to communicate with our neighbors, with registered interest groups and 
HOA’s.   
A virtual neighborhood meeting was scheduled for February 23, 2022, at 6:00pm.  The only 
“neighbor” in attendance was Mr. Shane Graser, the owner of two residential lots that front onto 
the east side of Litchfield Road (501-13-059B 7 501-13-060B).  Except for Mr. Graser, Mr. George 
Gehlert representing the City of Glendale and members of our project team were the only other 
attendees. 
 
CONCERNS, ISSUES, PROBLEMS EXPRESSED 
1. Mr. Graser was hoping that development of this industrial park might include the extension of 
sewer service to his property.  Mr. Graser was not opposed to the project or the PAD 
Application.   
2. Mr. Mark James is the Planning Manager for the Community Initiatives Team at Luke AFB.  
Understanding the sensitive relationship with Luke AFB, ViaWest and this office, as the 
Applicant, made contact with Mr. James to review the intent for this PAD Application as well 
as the Preliminary Site Plan. There have been several sessions and plan updates presented 
to Mr. James involving the location and height of the structures as well as the design for the 
perimeter buffer along the common north and west property lines.   
 
HOW CONCERNS WILL BE ADDRESSED 
1. Regarding Mr. Graser’s request for sewer service, our office arranged an introduction with 
ViaWest who offered Mr. Graser a buy-in opportunity.   
2. Regarding Luke AFB’s concern for the perimeter buffer, our communication with Mr. James 
and his security team prompted the requested deviations to remove the screen wall and 
amend the landscape along these boundaries.

CONCERNS APPLICANT IS UNWILLING TO ADDRESS 
Considering the limited communication to date, there have been no issues presented that 
ViaWest is not willing to consider.  Mr. Graser appreciated the opportunity to buy in for sewer 
service.  Our Project Team has scheduled several Zoom Meetings with Luke AFB to appropriately 
address their security concerns regarding visibility along our common boundaries.   
 
HOW THE PROPOSAL HAS BEEN REVISED TO ADDRESS CONCERNS 
Our Design Team’s due diligence prompted the initial deviations regarding the design criteria for 
the 50’ wide clear buffer with Luke AFB.  In a subsequent review with Luke’s security staff, there 
was a request to include a 6’ fence at the 30’ setback to help secure the 50’ wide clear buffer.  
This PAD has since been revised to incorporate the 6’ fence.

1. 
PROJECT DESCRIPTION 
On behalf of Airpark 30 LLC (Property Owner) and ViaWest Group (Future Owner/Developer), 
Gilmore Planning & Landscape Architecture (Applicant) respectfully submits for consideration this 
Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) for a rezoning application for a Planned Area Development (PAD) 
Overlay.  This PAD application includes 82-acres located on the west side of Litchfield Road and 
approximately 800’ north of Bethany Home Road.  This PAD area is situated along the north side of 
Ultimate RV & Boat Storage and extends north and west to the boundary of Luke AFB.   
On June 25, 2013, the Glendale City Council unanimously approved rezoning application ZON12-
03 for the Luke Land Industrial Park that established the Light Industrial (M-1) zoning.  That 
application included approximately 171-acres, which includes this 82-acre property as well as the 
area extending south of Bethany Home Rd approximately one quarter mile to the city limit of 
Litchfield Park.  This PAD Overlay will be processed as a rezoning action that will retain the current 
Light Industrial M-1 zoning, but amend the current M-1 development standards to increase the 
allowable building height from 30’ to 56’, increase the site coverage to allow for up to 45% coverage 
per lot, and reduce the parking ratio from 1/600sf to 1/1,200sf. 
At the northwest corner of this Subject Property is an approximate 10.9-acre area that is located 
within a 65 LDN boundary established by Luke AFB.  A previous Maricopa County application for 
‘Use Compatibility and Consistency Determination’ for this defined area was approved by Luke AFB 
for light industrial uses.  Following the annexation into Glendale, this 10.9-acre area was also zoned 
M-1.  Development of property within this restricted area will be qualified by Luke AFB and the City 
of Glendale with the filing of future Site Plan Approval applications.   
 
2. 
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION & MEETINGS 
At the Team Pre-Application Meeting on October 28, 2021, the Planning Department recommended 
that a neighborhood meeting be scheduled and notification letters issued to the surround property 
owners within 300’ and any interested parties registered with the City of Glendale requesting 
notification.  A copy of the Notification Letter is attached.  
Public notification will be processed in accordance with the requirements of the City of Glendale 
Planning Department as follows:

a.) All property owners within a 300’ radius of the subject property will be notified of this request 
for rezoning and will receive a copy of the Site Plan.  A surrounding ownership map with 
corresponding mailing labels have also been prepared and attached with this report.  Public 
comments and questions may be directed to the applicant, Jack Gilmore, or to George 
Gehlert, the designated Staff Planner for the City of Glendale.  Contacts will be recorded and 
notes prepared for consideration and included within the Citizen Participation Final Report.  
b.) Any Homeowners Associations, Registered Neighborhood Groups, and other area contacts 
provided by Staff will be notified.  The Glendale Planning Department has provided that list 
and mailing labels have been prepared and attached with this report.  Public comments and 
questions may again be directed to the applicant, Jack Gilmore, or to George Gehlert.  
Contacts will be recorded and notes prepared for consideration and inclusion within the 
Citizen Participation Final Report.  
 
3. 
IDENTIFY THOSE WHO MAY BE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY AFFECTED BY THIS 
REZONING REQUEST 
The development of vacant land that is adjacent to existing developed properties creates impact, 
both direct and indirect.  The first test for impact should be compliance with the City’s General Plan 
and existing zoning.  The current Light Industrial M-1 zoning already establishes the right of use for 
industrial development.  The proposed PAD Overlay only amends the development standards for 
building height, and redefines site coverage, and may reduce the required parking ratio.  This North 
PAD for the Luke Land Industrial Park will otherwise be developed in compliance with the M-1 (Light 
Industrial) Zoning District, which fully and conforms with the Glendale General Plan 2040. 
 
Those Who May Be Directly Impacted:   
There are a variety of land uses that surround the subject property, all of which will be marginally 
impacted, but in varying degrees. 
a.) Luke AFB shares the north and west property lines with this Industrial Park.  Although strict 
security measures limit any potential conflicts with Base operations, the physical presence of 
an industrial park adjacent to the Base represents an impact.  The City of Glendale has 
adopted a land use designation with the General Plan 2040 that is intended to buffer the 
operations on the Base with compatible adjacent land uses, and we believe this Industrial 
Park can be a complimentary neighbor supporting the commerce associated with Luke AFB.   
b.) Along the southeast side of the subject site is Ultimate RV & Boat Storage and a relatively 
new Glendale Fire Station.  Access into the RV and boat storage facility is only available from 
Bethany Home Road, and the 16-acre facility is defined by an existing 6’ screen wall.  There 
are no foreseen impacts to this compatible land use that is zoned M-1.  The fire station is

THE BASE INDUSTRIAL PARK- NORTH PAD 
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN 
PAD Overlay SR21-0199 
February 7, 2022

GILMORE
   PLANNING & LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
accessible only from the Litchfield Road frontage.  A fire station area is always a great 
neighbor for an industrial park, and provides comfort to users with sensitive risk management 
concerns.  The circulation for the fire station is separate from this project.  There are no 
foreseen impacts to this compatible land use that is zoned M-1.   
c.) East of Litchfield Road is an extensive area of single-family residential development.  The 
‘Luke Field Homes’ is a platted residential subdivision accessible from Litchfield Road from 
Stella Avenue and Claremont Street.  The average lot size is approximately 6,000sf.  This 
subdivision was platted in 1953 and unfortunately includes lots that front onto Litchfield Road. 
Several of these lots have been developed, but the majority are undeveloped.  There is a 
fundamental problem with fronting single-family homes onto arterial roads.  Regardless of 
adjacent land uses, these home sites are severely impacted by higher volumes of traffic, 
traffic noise, and their exclusion from a traditional neighborhood environment where similar 
homes share a common interior street frontage and where there is connectivity within a 
neighborhood.  The impact of this PAD Overlay will be minimal.  The light industrial land use 
is a given, and the modifications to the development standards will be mitigated by the 
separation between the establish neighborhood, Litchfield Road a major arterial, and a 50’ -
100’ wide drainage easement along the front of this industrial park that will be landscaped. 
d.) Continuing south, the next residential project is Litchfield Village, a mobile home park whose 
primary access is off Litchfield Road.  These mobile homes at least back onto Litchfield Road 
and there is a screen wall and street trees to enhance the separation.  Other than a potential 
increase in average daily traffic counts on Litchfield Road, the impact should be minimal.  
There is also an east entrance off 135th Avenue.  If traffic congestion on Litchfield Road 
complicates their access, these residents could find easier access to 135th Avenue.  The 
impact of this PAD Overlay will be minimal.  The light industrial land use is a given, and the 
modifications to the development standards will be mitigated by the separation between the 
establish neighborhood, Litchfield Road a major arterial, and a 50’-100’ wide drainage 
easement along the front of this industrial park that will be landscaped. 
e.) The next subdivision south of the mobile home park is Dreaming Summit, a large residential 
community with extensive recreational amenities managed by a Homeowners Association.  
Unlike the two previous subdivisions described above, Dreaming Summit benefits from an 
efficient interior circulation network that provides residents with alternative routes of access to 
Bethany Home Road, area parks, and schools.  The neighborhoods closest to the Subject 
Property average 5,000sf.  For the portion of Dreaming Summit that shares frontage with this 
North PAD area, there is only one intersection at Peck Drive.  Residents are fortunate to have 
the choice of circulating south to Bethany Home Road for alternates routes of access.  There 
are no homes fronting onto Litchfield Road.  North of Bethany Home Road is a 60’ 
landscaped drainage swale that helps to buffer this neighborhood.  As referenced above, the 
impact of this PAD Overlay will be minimal.  The light industrial land use is a given, and the

modifications to the development standards will be mitigated by the separation between the 
establish neighborhood, a 60’ wide landscape tract, Litchfield Road a major arterial, and an 
additional 50’-100’ wide drainage easement along the front of this industrial park that will be 
landscaped. 
 
4. 
THOUGHTS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF INDIVIDUALS AFFECTED OR OTHERWISE 
INTERESTED 
Considering the perspective of the various ownerships surrounding the property regarding Luke 
Land Industrial Park is highly dependent on their existing use and proximity to Litchfield Road. 
a. Luke AFB is the largest adjacent land owner with minimal potential for impact.  These land 
uses have been approved and the M-1 zoning is in place with their support.  Non compatible 
adjacent land uses have been a conflict for Luke AFB and many military bases where long 
term planning did not provide appropriate buffering land uses. With Luke AFB’s approval of 
the Glendale General Plan 2040 and the provisions to restrict land uses within their 65 LDN 
noise contour, we believe Luke Land Industrial Park – North PAD to be both a compatible and 
a supporting neighbor protecting the long-term interests of the Base. 
b. Ultimate RV & Boat Storage and the Fire Station are compatible neighbors with minimal daily 
activity.  The screening and separation of circulation should alleviate concerns.   
c. The single-family residential area east of Litchfield Road will lose visibility of the existing 
native open space, but will hopefully appreciate the finished street improvements including 
curb, gutter, sidewalk and an arterial road streetscape.  Compared to ambient noise levels 
associated with Luke AFB and their flight patterns, this project will not increase noise levels.  
Traffic counts represent a marginal increase on an arterial road designed for high volumes of 
traffic.  This industrial park will accelerate the schedule to install a traffic signal at Litchfield 
Road and Bethany Home Road, which should relieve concerns for the residents of Dreaming 
Summit.   
5. 
COMMUNICATION AND FEEDBACK WITH THE NEIGHBORS 
With the distribution of the initial Notification Letter, neighbors, registered groups, and any other 
interested groups or individuals will be encouraged to call, e-mail, or schedule an appointment to 
meet with the Applicant, Jack Gilmore.  Our experience has taught us that open communication that 
responds quickly to these types of inquiries can be very effective in resolving issues and well as 
exposing legitimate site planning issues that warrant further consideration within the application.  
Recording these inquiries and responses is an effective check and balance when these same 
respondents appear at the public hearings.  This first letter will typically include a description of the 
project, site plan, and notification that a neighborhood meeting will be scheduled.  The letter will 
also indicate that the Property will be posted with signs indicating the dates for the Public Hearings.

NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES OR AMENDMENTS AFTER THE INITIAL NOTIFICATION. 
Depending on the nature of the change or amendment and in consultation with the Glendale 
Planning Staff, another letter of notification could be issued explaining the revision(s) and its impact 
on the development of the property.  Similar to the initial notification letter, we will encourage all 
neighbors and groups to make contact.  The nature of the revision may also justify a second 
neighborhood meeting.

RE: 
Rezoning Application for The Base Industrial Park – North PAD 
 
82 acres located 800’ north of Bethany Home Road &  
 
along the west side of Litchfield Road 
 
Dear Property Owner / Interested Party: 
 
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that our office is applying for a rezoning application for a Planned Area 
Development (PAD) Overlay with the City of Glendale.  This PAD application includes 82-acres located on the west 
side of Litchfield Road and approximately 800’ north of Bethany Home Road.  This PAD area is situated along the 
north side of Ultimate RV & Boat Storage and extends north and west to the boundary of Luke AFB (please refer to 
the attached Vicinity/Aerial Map and Site Plan).  This property is located in the Yucca Council District.  
On June 25, 2013, the Glendale City Council unanimously approved rezoning application ZON12-03 for the Luke 
Land Industrial Park that established the current Light Industrial (M-1) zoning.  That application included 
approximately 171-acres, which includes this 82-acre property as well as the area extending south of Bethany Home 
Rd approximately one quarter mile to the city limit of Litchfield Park.  This PAD Overlay will be processed as a rezoning 
action that will retain the current Light Industrial M-1 zoning, but amend the current M-1 development standards to 
increase the allowable building height from 30’ to 56’, increase the site coverage to allow for up to 45% coverage per 
lot, and reduce the parking ratio from 1/600sf to 1/1,200sf.   
The Owner intends to market the property to potential light industrial users and industrial developers interested in 
establishing employment opportunities in close proximity to Luke AFB and the expanding west side market.  Although 
the current M-1 zoning permits employment/industrial uses, the industrial market has evolved where structures 
associated with warehouse / logistics / fulfilment centers are averaging interior clear heights of 32’-44’.  This forces 
the roof heights above 50’ to account for the roof structure, sloped drainage, and screening roof mounted HVAC 
equipment.  These larger structures also have a large footprint.  For site coverage, the City of Glendale uses a Floor 
Area Ratio of .3 FAR, which is appropriate for multi-story structures, but not as relevant to these single-story 
structures.  This PAD Overlay retains the same permitted uses, but will permit an increase in building height, modify 
the site coverage formula, and reduce the parking ratio that is more consistent with the other municipalities in the 
Phoenix Metro Valley.    
The attached site plan illustrates a preliminary layout for a number of industrial buildings.  This application will also 
include a request for Site Plan Approval.  Our Project Team will include reviews by Luke AFB to ensure compatible 
development projects.  As indicated on the Site Plan, the property fronts onto Litchfield Road, a major arterial, which 
will provide the primary access.  There will be a second PAD Overlay filed in the near future for the balance of the 
Luke Land Industrial Park (South PAD) that will include access opportunities from Bethany Home Road.

RE: 
Rezoning Application for The Base Industrial Park – North PAD 
 
82 acres located 800’ north of Bethany Home Road &  
 
along the west side of Litchfield Road 
 
Dear Property Owner / Interested Party: 
 
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that our office is applying for a rezoning application for a Planned Area 
Development (PAD) Overlay with the City of Glendale.  This PAD application includes 82-acres located on the west 
side of Litchfield Road and approximately 800’ north of Bethany Home Road.  This PAD area is situated along the 
north side of Ultimate RV & Boat Storage and extends north and west to the boundary of Luke AFB (please refer to 
the attached Vicinity/Aerial Map and Site Plan).  This property is located in the Yucca Council District.  
On June 25, 2013, the Glendale City Council unanimously approved rezoning application ZON12-03 for the Luke 
Land Industrial Park that established the current Light Industrial (M-1) zoning.  That application included 
approximately 171-acres, which includes this 82-acre property as well as the area extending south of Bethany Home 
Rd approximately one quarter mile to the city limit of Litchfield Park.  This PAD Overlay will be processed as a rezoning 
action that will retain the current Light Industrial M-1 zoning, but amend the current M-1 development standards to 
increase the allowable building height from 30’ to 56’, increase the site coverage to allow for up to 45% coverage per 
lot, and reduce the parking ratio from 1/600sf to 1/1,200sf.   
The Owner intends to market the property to potential light industrial users and industrial developers interested in 
establishing employment opportunities in close proximity to Luke AFB and the expanding west side market.  Although 
the current M-1 zoning permits employment/industrial uses, the industrial market has evolved where structures 
associated with warehouse / logistics / fulfilment centers are averaging interior clear heights of 32’-44’.  This forces 
the roof heights above 50’ to account for the roof structure, sloped drainage, and screening roof mounted HVAC

Area Ratio of .3 FAR, which is appropriate for multi-story structures, but not as relevant to these single-story 
structures.  This PAD Overlay retains the same permitted uses, but will permit an increase in building height, modify 
the site coverage formula, and reduce the parking ratio that is more consistent with the other municipalities in the 
Phoenix Metro Valley.    
The attached site plan illustrates a preliminary layout for a number of industrial buildings.  This application will also 
include a request for Site Plan Approval.  Our Project Team will include reviews by Luke AFB to ensure compatible 
development projects.  As indicated on the Site Plan, the property fronts onto Litchfield Road, a major arterial, which 
will provide the primary access.  There will be a second PAD Overlay filed in the near future for the balance of the 
Luke Land Industrial Park (South PAD) that will include access opportunities from Bethany Home Road.
