INTRODUCTION 
 
This application proposes to amend the existing 101 & Northern Planned Area Development 
(PAD) for approximately 24.21 gross acres (20.83 net acres) located at the southeast corner of 
99th Avenue and Northern Avenue (“Site” or “Property”) (see Exhibit A: Aerial Parcel Map). 
The existing approved PAD permits a mixed-use development integrating multi-family 
residential uses with commercial activities, such as retail, restaurant, office, service, hotel, and 
other similar uses. Today, we are requesting to amend the approved PAD to modify the 
development standards. 
 
PROPOSAL 
 
The intent of the PAD amendment is to modify parking, building height, and landscape standards. 
These deviations will accommodate the height needed for a proposed hotel use on the Site and 
will accommodate the parking needs for a self-storage use. Additionally, the amendment will 
address landscaping for the multi-family portion of the PAD. This proposed PAD amendment 
will provide the flexibility needed to create a unique project that will complement the surrounding 
area and be an asset to the community. The proposed PAD will create a high-quality, unique 
development that accomplishes the objectives of the PAD zoning. This project will add to the 
excitement of growing Glendale, Arizona. The Site is conveniently located adjacent to the 
Interstate Loop 101 providing ease of access to the surrounding Phoenix Metropolitan Area. 
The Site is broken up into nine (9) “parcels”. Parcel 9 contains multi-family land uses while the 
remaining parcels are commercial in nature. Parcels 1-8 are intended to hold uses including: 
retail, restaurants, drive-through restaurants, a convenience store, self-storage facility, hotel, car 
wash, or similar uses (see Exhibit B: Conceptual Site Plan).  
 
PERMITTED USES 
 
Permitted uses for the proposed amendment shall comply with the uses as noted in the original 
PAD (ZON21-18). 
 
MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT 
 
The multi-family portion of the development is approximately ten (10) acres in size and is located 
on the southern half of the Site on Parcel 9. This multi-family development will be a traditional 
gated apartment complex consisting of high-quality structures and landscape design, pedestrian 
connectivity, and a highly amenitized central area. The development will consist of three (3) 
buildings totaling 234 well-appointed market rate units to include 23 studios (9.8%), 99 one-
bedrooms (42.3%), 92 two-bedrooms (39.3%), and 20 three-bedrooms (8.5%) totaling 260,000 
RSF of buildable area. Along with the residential buildings, the project will feature 334 parking 
spaces which may include detached garages, covered spaces, and uncovered surface parking.

5 
 
The development will include state of the art amenity areas with an oversized luxury pool and 
sundeck with grilling stations, a fire pit, and a lounge area. There will also be an indoor/outdoor 
Cabana along with a full kitchen, bar, group dining, and lounge space with direct access to the 
pool. The fitness center will feature high-end equipment programming with indoor/outdoor 
access to the pool and courtyard. Additionally, there will be a premium community dog park with 
ample seating and socializing space for residents and a well-lit pickle ball court. Parcel 9 is 
providing approximately 38% open space (3.43 net acres). 
Parcel 9 can be accessed from 99th Avenue with three points of access, a centralized, gated main 
entrance that allows ingress and egress, as well as one egress at the south end of the parcel and 
emergency access at the north end of the parcel.  
This development will satisfy the growing demand for modern housing in the rapidly expanding 
Phoenix West Valley. The proposed building architecture and open space areas will provide a 
distinct, upscale living environment for the residents of this community. Additionally, the use of 
various materials including masonry, stucco, and fiber cement, and both horizontal and vertical 
plane movement, will create visual interest. The architectural elements will provide a strong 
identity for the development and add to the diverse housing types in this growing area of the city. 
 
COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT 
 
The commercial portion of the development is approximately 11 acres in size and is located on 
the northern half of the Site on Parcels 1-8. The commercial portion of the site has street frontage 
and vehicular access along both 99th Avenue and Northern Avenue, with two access points on 
99th Avenue and one along Northern Avenue. The southern access on 99th Avenue provides full 
access, while the northern access on 99th Avenue is limited to right-in and right-out. The Northern 
Avenue entrance is a full access point. 
The project architectural design theme will feature local and native-inspired materials and colors, 
adhering to the surrounding areas design. Each tenant will have the flexibility to incorporate their 
corporate branding colors and design while integrating the centers guidelines.  
The landscape plan will be used for buffering key areas, giving shade and safety for pedestrians. 
Native plants will be a focus that allow the plants and trees to thrive and conserve water usage. 
The commercial portion of the site, Parcels 1-8, are providing approximately 22% open space 
(2.74 net acres).
