Section 1.
Overview / Purpose & Intent 
Juniper Square and 67 Flats, the proposed new residential developments located in Glendale, 
AZ will be owned and managed by Dominium—one of the nation's largest and most 
innovative development companies focused on workforce and senior housing communities.  
Dominium's proven approach is to focus on meeting the needs of any given community by 
fulfilling a need for housing while also providing excellent living experience for its residents.  
Dominium takes pride in designing architecturally beautiful communities with high-quality 
finishes and amenities and providing excellent customer service that create long-term value 
for its residents, cities, and its financial stakeholders.  Dominium’s superior reputation is built 
on a 50-year track record in developing and managing residential rental communities, and by 
2025, the company expects to be the country’s pre-eminent private developer, owner, and 
property manager of workforce and senior housing.  
Dominium looks forward to being a Glendale property owner and neighbor while providing 
two (2) desperately needed, quality rental communities to the neighborhood, the adjacent 
Glendale Centerline Overlay District, and the City of Glendale at large. 
This request to for a Minor General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation of  
approximately 14.894 gross acres (13.084 net acres) of vacant/agricultural land located at the 
northwest corner of 67th Avenue and Maryland Avenue, specifically a portion of 6504 North 
67th Avenue (the “Property”), from High Density Residential: 12.0 – 20.0 du/ac (HDR 20) to
High Density Residential 20.0 – 30.0 du/ac (HDR 30).  
Dominium has also submitted the companion 67 Flats and Juniper Square Planned Area 
Development (“PAD”) rezoning application to develop a 605-unit multifamily residential 
community, comprised of 221 age-restricted, independent senior living units for adults 
55 years and older and 384 multifamily residential units (the “Project”). (Companion Case 
Number ZON22-07) Also, see the illustrative exhibit below for the location of the Juniper 
Square (senior living) portion of the Property in relation to the 67 Flats (family) portion.

Juniper Square (Senior) and 67 Flats (Family) Portions of Property 
Section 2.
General Plan Amendment Request 
The Property at large is 29.78 gross acres (26.75 net acres), with an overall density of 20.31 
du/gross acre. Specifically, the 67 Flats portion of the Property has a density of 19.11 
du/gross acre and the Juniper Square portion has a density of 22.81 du/gross acre. When 
considered separately, the density of the 67 Flats portion of the Property is in conformance 
with the existing General Plan land use designation, however, the density of the Juniper 
Square portion exceeds the allowable density under the current General Plan. See Exhibit 1: 
Existing General Plan Land Use Map and Exhibit 2: Proposed General Plan Land Use 
Map. 
Dominium is requesting a Minor General Plan Amendment for 14.894 gross acres (13.084 
net acres) (the “GPA Subject Area”) to change the land use designation from High Density 
Residential: 12.0 – 20.0 du/ac (HDR 20) to High Density Residential 20.0 – 30.0 du/ac (HDR 
30). The GPA Subject Area extends north and into the 67 Flats portion of the Property to 
allow flexibility for the development of Juniper Square. The number of units proposed for

10957.8.3150011.1 
Page 6 of 7 
67 Flats (384) and the number of units proposed for Juniper Square (221) will not change. 
Extending the GPA Subject Area slightly beyond the precise limits of Juniper Square will 
allow the 221 units within Juniper Square to shift, as needed, as the fully defined right-of-way 
for Maryland Avenue is not available at this time. This approach will also allow for an 
efficient application review process while City-required infrastructure improvements are 
identified and fully engineered. 
In addition, the Property is located approximately 300 feet south of the Glendale Centerline 
Overlay District along 67th Avenue. The Centerline District was created with the intent to 
facilitate private business development, job creation, and the development of shopping and 
recreational opportunities in the Glendale Centerline. The development of 67 Flats and 
Juniper Square will assist in providing the population density needed to support the Centerline 
District. 
Section 3.
Overall Conformance with the General Plan 
The General Plan Amendment meets the following goals and policies of the General Plan.   
Goal LU‐3: Land use ties into existing and future transportation systems.   
Dominium has selected this site because of its proximity to bus lines, specifically there are 18 
bus stops within ¼ mile of Property. See Exhibit 3: Valley Metro Bus Stops. As such, this 
project meets this Goal, and all of its underlying policies, including Policy LU-3.6, which calls 
for a minimum density of 15 du/ac within a quarter mile of intense transit service areas.  
Goal HE‐3: Glendale has housing options that meet the range of socioeconomic needs of the 
City’s current and future residents. 
67 Flats and Juniper Square are two integrated communities that will provide high-quality, 
senior and family-oriented multifamily residents to an area that is in great need of diversified 
housing opportunities. The communities have been designed with an emphasis on the living 
experience for each demographic, highlighting walkability, the pedestrian experience, and 
connectivity to transit. 
Policy HE‐5.2: The City shall encourage housing developments to incorporate the highest 
possible cost‐ and quality‐effective level of amenities, sustainable design, durability, and 
architectural quality.  
Both communities will have high quality architectural design outside and amenities, fixtures 
and finished inside.   
Goal GA‐4:  Growth Areas are connected by a mix of pedestrian, bicycle, transit and 
vehicular connectivity. 
The General Plan identifies the Glendale Centerline area as one of the City’s Growth Areas, 
where “Particular attention is directed toward preserving residential affordability and value 
in areas principally along the planning area periphery.” 67 Flats and Juniper Square caters to

10957.8.3150011.1 
Page 7 of 7 
a diverse mix of residents, many of whom are dependent on transit connectivity and 
walkability of the built environment. Responsibly increasing the residential density of the 
area, as this application does, furthers this Growth Area goal  
Goal CRR‐2: Infill development is a top priority. 
The proposed infill development is surrounded by existing and accessible infrastructure and 
abundant transportation options. Policy CRR-2.1 states, “The City shall encourage and 
support infill development to take advantage of existing infrastructure, community and 
educational facilities, and enhance existing neighborhoods”. The Property is also surrounded 
by an elementary school and middle school and existing single- and multifamily residences, 
making it an ideal candidate for infill development. 
Goal CRR‐3: Underutilized properties are redeveloped and reused.   
The Property is an agricultural use in the middle of the City, which is unlikely its best and 
highest use. The property should be converted to a more productive use to serve the needs of 
the citizens of Glendale, and to take advantage of the existing infrastructure investments the 
City has made.   
Goal ED‐3.  Redevelopment of the Centerline area, inclusive of Downtown Glendale 
promotes economic growth.   
As previously mentioned, 67 Flats and Juniper Square is within walking distance (+/- 300 
feet south) of the Centerline area. The project represents a significant, private sector 
investment in a vacant property at the west end of the Centerline area. The proposed density 
increase will support the City’s economic growth and the redevelopment of the Centerline 
area. Specifically, Policy ED‐3.1 states, “The City should expand housing opportunities to 
increase population in the area to support ongoing commercial and retail development.” 
Goal C‐2: Public transit as a viable alternative mode of travel.   
The Project will bring the necessary ridership needed to help support the surrounding transit 
system. As mentioned previously, there are 18 bus stops within ¼ mile of the Property. The 
expected transit ridership is further supported by the Applicant’s request for reduced parking 
to meet the needs of the residents, most of whom do not own private vehicles.  
Goal C‐8: Land use ties into existing and future transportation systems. 
This project is deeply integrated into the transit system and will enhance the walkability of 
the surrounding area. 
Goal EP‐9: Urban heat island effects are minimized through development techniques. 
Dominium has proposed a significant reduction in unnecessary parking at this site, which will 
substantially reduce the heat island impact of unused parking.
