Dear Neighbor and/or Interested Party: 
 
This letter is to inform you that I am applying for an annexation and PRD rezone application with the City of 
Glendale in order to develop Legacy Point, a master planned community within the Cities of Glendale and 
Peoria, see enclosed Land Use Development Plan. Legacy Point - Glendale consists of approximately 120-
gross acres at 7505 W. Northern Avenue in the Yucca Council District. The City case number for the annexation 
is AN-233 and case number for rezone is ZON21-24. The property is generally bounded by Northern Avenue 
to the north, 73rd Avenue to the east, Frier Drive alignment to the south, and 79th Avenue alignment to the 
west, between Grand Avenue/US 60 and the Loop 101 North, see enclosed Vicinity Map.  
 
The Property consists of three parcels totaling approximately 120 gross-acres in size currently being used for 
dairy and agricultural purposes.  It is the intention of the Applicant to use this property to construct new housing 
uses close to the City core and to two major transportation corridors - Grand Ave/US 60 and Loop 101, located 
1.5 miles west. In conjunction with the rezoning application from R1-6 Single Family Residential in Maricopa 
County and the City of Glendale to R1-6 with a Planned Residential Development (PRD) overlay an application 
for annexation of approximately 75-gross acres has been submitted and is being processed.   
 
The PRD overlay will allow for development standards and design elements consistent with the portion of the 
property in Peoria, all meeting the goal and vision of creating a high quality development in harmony with the 
surrounding area.  
 
I have enclosed the proposed PRD Development Plan with this letter for your review. If you would like to learn 
more about the project, we will be hosting a virtual neighborhood open house meeting on November 1, 2021 
at 6:00 pm.  We will make a live presentation via web conference during which we will describe the project 
and display project plans and exhibits. Comments and questions will be accepted at the meeting. If you are 
unable to access the online meeting please contact me in advance of the meeting and request a phone

LEGACY POINT NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING REPORT 
 
Date: 11/01/2021 
6:00 PM-6:45 PM 
Attendees: 19 
The Legacy Point Neighborhood meeting commenced at 6:00 PM on November 1st, 2021 with 19 
participants in attendance. Development team members in attendance included Beus Gilbert 
McGroder, Shea Homes, and HilgartWilson. Meeting participants included surrounding property 
owners. Alex Lerma with the Planning and Zoning department and Councilmember Clark representing 
the Yucca District within the City of Glendale were also in attendance. 
Paul Gilbert with Beus Gilbert McGroder presented a high-level overview of the overall project and 
entitlement efforts including rezoning and annexation that are currently being processed with the City 
of Glendale. The presentation detailed the overall project area, current and proposed zoning, and 
annexation areas pertinent to the Project. The proposed site plan was reviewed in detail. The overall 
development plan detailing planned uses for Peoria and Glendale was presented. 
Following the presentation, participants had questions regarding project phasing, home costs, home 
layouts, home ownership or leased, and effects on property taxes. One participant commented on 79th 
Avenue blocked going north and inquired on any planned extensions or improvements of the road. 
HilgartWilson responded that 79th Avenue would not be extended into the Project. Additionally, the 
Participant asked on the likelihood of the Project connecting to the newly constructed waterline 
running east/west on Carole Lane just south of the Project. HilgartWilson responded that engineering 
reports are still being processed to determine water infrastructure and they will research it and 
respond. Another participant inquired about the timeline for the Project. Matt Telban with Shea Homes 
responded that the removal of Dairy operations would likely commence sometime in 2023 with the 
construction of homes falling in 2024. One participant stated that he had an irrigation easement along 
the front of his property, bordering the southern boundary of the Project, and asked about the future 
status of his easement. HilgartWilson informed the participant that they would be looking into the 
matter further and respond to him. Another participant asked about project setbacks and whether or 
not they would be consistent with the Ambra community bordering the western Project boundary. Paul 
Gilbert concluded that setbacks would be consistent across developments. There was a question 
about whether the outparcel at the NWC of the Project would be included. Paul Gilbert responded that 
it was not a part of the PAD. Participants also asked about being notified about future meetings, Paul 
Gilbert responded that they would be notified. 
Paul Gilbert stated that further questions could be addressed by contacting him or Cindy Paddock with 
HilgartWilson and closed the meeting. The meeting concluded at 6:38 PM.

MEMORANDUM 
To: 
Alex Lerma, City of Glendale 
Date: May 6, 2022 
RE: 
ZON21-24, Legacy Place, Citizen Participation Final Report – Update Summary 
Project No.: 
2143 
 
This update summary outlines the public outreach efforts on the project since the neighborhood 
meeting. Questions were raised at the meeting regarding the status of the existing irrigation 
infrastructure on the southern boundary of the site west of 75th Avenue, and whether the project would 
be connecting to the new water line in Carole Lane. Subsequent to the neighborhood meeting the 
following actions have been taken to address those questions: 
 
Irrigation: HilgartWilson and Shea Homes researched the existing irrigation ditch on the southern 
boundary of the site west of 75th Avenue and determined that it is a private irrigation facility that serves 
the adjacent neighbors and the Rovey dairy. After review of the title report and ALTA several meetings 
were held with SRP irrigation staff in January and February 2022 to review the irrigation. SRP stated 
that the existing irrigation ditch is not in an easement and does not have to be covered by an easement 
as the water use rights run with the land.  The irrigation service must be maintained but SRP has no 
requirements on how to do so. Shea Homes requested that a meeting be scheduled with the neighbors 
abutting the property that are being served by the irrigation ditch to discuss options to maintain 
irrigation service to their property. On 3/31/22 Shea Homes (Matt Telban), SRP staff ( Stephanie Berry, 
Tammy Gandy), HilgartWilson (Paul Haas, Cindy Paddock) and four property owners met onsite to 
discuss the existing irrigation ditch and options for maintaining service after the property is developed. 
The neighbors were pleased to have an opportunity to discuss options prior to the property being 
developed. No final decision was made and discussions will continue as the property gets closer to 
development.   
 
Future water service: Water service to the property will not be provided from the water line in Carole 
Lane. Proposed water service is outlined in the PRD narrative dated April 11, 2022.
