Introduction

Section 1.0 - Introduction 
 
 
 
 
 PAGE

Woolf Crossing is a proposed 738-acre planned community located within the western 
portion of City of Glendale (the City). Situated adjacent to the future Loop 303 Freeway 
and the proposed Northern Parkway, the community is approximately four and a half miles 
east of the White Tank Mountains. Refer to Figure 1 for a Regional Vicinity Map, which 
depicts the location of the project in relation to the White Tank Mountains and 
surrounding area. Figure 2 provides an aerial view of the project and existing conditions.  
 
Woolf Crossing is located approximately two miles west of the entrance to Luke Air Force 
Base (AFB), which is at Litchfield Road, just south of Northern Avenue.  The Woolf 
Crossing Project Team recognizes the importance of Luke AFB for the nation’s defense 
and its economic impact, and is committed to being compatible with Luke AFB’s 
operations. The majority of the Property is outside of the 1988, 65-Ldn Joint Land Use 
Study (JLUS) noise contours for the F-16 and all of the Property is outside the Luke 
AFB’s clear zones and accident potential zones. Through careful placement and transition 
of land uses, Woolf Crossing fully complies with Luke AFB’s Graduated Density Concept 
(GDC), which is Luke AFB’s stated criteria for compatibility and discussed in detail within 
Section 4.3. 
 
Although the area surrounding Woolf Crossing is currently agricultural or rural residential, 
recently several large subdivisions and higher density master planned communities in the 
vicinity have been approved.  These developments are or will be under construction in the 
very near future.  The majority of these developments lie to the north and west of Woolf 
Crossing.  These include Sycamore Farms, Rancho Gabriela, and Greer Ranch within the 
City of Surprise. The majority of Prasada (formerly known as Cactus Lane Ranch) is 
located within the City of Surprise; however, the portion adjacent to Woolf Crossing is 
located within the City of Glendale’s planning area. Nearby developments within the 
County’s jurisdiction includes Cortessa, White Tank Foothills, Zanjero Pass, and Zanjero 
Trails. Refer to Figure 3, Surrounding Zoning which depicts the location of these 
developments in relation to the project. 
 
The purpose of this application is to request a zone change from Agricultural (A-1) to 
Planned Area Development (PAD). With PAD zoning, Woolf Crossing will provide a fully 
integrated community using a variety of densities and a broad range of lot sizes, housing 
types, and land uses. This master plan approach to development will have a positive 
impact on the surrounding area by creating integrated communities along with retail 
goods and services, employment opportunities, educational and recreational facilities, 
and regional infrastructure improvements.   
 
Woolf Crossing will be developed with careful attention paid to stormwater drainage and 
establishment of open space.  The planning and design process will preserve significant 
open space for project amenities for use in parks, a pedestrian trail system, open space 
and as retention / drainage corridors.  These open space areas will be used to help 
enhance the project’s streetscape and help provide compatible transitions between 
uses. Specifically, the land plan for Woolf Crossing provides a mixture of residential and 
nonresidential uses, in addition to several amenities such as a neighborhood park and an 
elementary school site to meet the needs of the residents. 
 
The Woolf Crossing PAD document is intended to provide a comprehensive master plan, 
which is consistent with City regulations and appropriately incorporates the City’s

Section 1.0 - Introduction 
 
 
 
 
 PAGE   
 
3 
Residential Design and Development Manual in order to provide for a quality 
development. The Woolf Crossing PAD also provides a detailed description of residential 
and nonresidential land uses, trail and open space concepts, architectural design themes, 
development standards, and infrastructure requirements for the community.  
 
Element homes will be the Master Developer for the single-family portion of the proposed 
738-acre Mixed-Use Master Plan community and has partnered with Parks/Martin 
Development Co., Inc., a commercial real estate developer with extensive experience in 
the development of mixed-use regional projects that are similar to what is envisioned for 
the commercial portion of this Mixed-Use Master Plan community. 
 
The proposed “Woolf Crossing” master plan community includes a variety of single family 
home ownership opportunities on various lot sizes and the opportunity for a major 
commercial development which will accommodate a broad range of regional, 
neighborhood and community needs.  The project integrates open space and recreational 
amenities, all of which will provide an exceptional quality of life for the future residents.

Compliance with Glendale 2025 General Plan

Currently, the Property is used for agricultural purposes, and is zoned Agricultural (A-1) 
in the City of Glendale. The Glendale 2025 General Plan designates the portion of the 
Property within the 65 Ldn noise contour as Luke Compatible Land Use Area. The City 
has recently approved a Major General Plan Amendment that affects Woolf Crossing and 
nearby areas outside of the 65 Ldn noise contour. The General Plan Amendment shows 
the Woolf Crossing area as Entertainment Mixed Use west of Sarival Avenue, Low Density 
Residential (1.0 to 2.5du/ac) between Sarival Avenue and the 65 Ldn noise contour and 
Luke Compatible Land Use Area east of the 65 Ldn noise contour.  It also identifies the 
realignment of Sarival Road between Olive Avenue and Northern Avenue.  The purpose of 
the realignment is to accommodate a full diamond interchange of the Northern Parkway at 
Sarival Avenue.  The Woolf Crossing land uses comply with the approved general plan 
amendment by proposing commercial uses west of the Sarival alignment, residential uses 
less than 2.0 du/ac between Sarival Avenue and the 65 Ldn noise contour, and Luke 
compatible land use area within the 65 Ldn noise contour.

Goals and Objectives

Section 3.0 - Goals and Objectives 
 
 
 
 
 PAGE   
 
7 
The Woolf Crossing PAD will allow the development of a master planned community consistent 
with Element Homes’ philosophy and commitment to create high-quality neighborhoods. The 
Property will have a strong identity and vision that creates compatibility between the residential 
and nonresidential uses. In particular, the open space and the circulation system depicted in the 
PAD are the primary organizing and unifying elements of the project. 
 
The goal of the Woolf Crossing PAD is to ensure a strong “sense of place” for residents 
and promote a high- quality mixed use community appropriate to this area. One of the key 
elements of the Woolf Crossing PAD is its “Gateway” location.  Because of this unique 
situation of the Loop 303 and the proposed Northern Parkway, the Woolf Crossing land 
use plan has been designed to provide flexibility for nonresidential uses to allow 
adjustment to the changing needs of the market and residents. The City’s zoning 
ordinance specifically encourages this goal through the Planned Area Development 
process. Specifically, the purpose of PAD zoning is as follows: 
 
This district accommodates mixed use development which combines 
residential and nonresidential uses through common design elements. The 
district promotes flexibility and encourages variations in building design, 
lot arrangement, circulation patterns, and land uses. Further, it is the 
intent of the PAD to:  
A. 
Encourage creative and effective use of land and circulation systems 
to accommodate changes in land development technologies. 
 
B. 
Encourage residential development to provide a mixture of housing 
types and designs.  
 
C. 
Encourage innovative development or redevelopment concepts for all 
land use types to provide greater variety and intensity of uses. 
 
D. 
Provide a process which relates the urban design and scale of 
project to the unique characteristics of the site. 
 
E. 
Require the nature and intensity of development to be supported by 
adequate utilities, transportation, drainage, and common open spaces 
to serve the development and to minimize impact on existing or future 
adjacent development. 
 
F. 
Encourage development that is consistent with the policies and the 
guidelines established in any specific plan and the General Plan.

Situated adjacent to the future Loop 303 Freeway and bisected by the proposed 
Northern Parkway, Woolf Crossing is approximately four and a half miles east of the White 
Tank Mountains and two miles west of the entrance to Luke AFB, which is at Litchfield 
Road, just south of Northern Avenue.  
4.1 Surrounding Properties 
To understand the existing zoning in the Woolf Crossing property and surrounding area, 
please refer to Figure 3. Surrounding property ownership is identified in Figures 4-A and 
4-B.   
 
At the present time, the existing land uses surrounding Woolf Crossing are as follows: 
 
On-site:  Vacant, agricultural.  
North: 
Vacant, agricultural within Maricopa County jurisdiction, Cactus Lane 
Ranch Packaging and Warehousing Buildings. 
South: 
Residential within Maricopa County jurisdiction, Sarival Farms Phase 2, 
Agricultural. 
East: 
Falcon Dunes Golf Course and agricultural land within Maricopa County 
jurisdiction. 
West: 
Vacant and agricultural land within Maricopa County jurisdiction.  
 
As mentioned previously, the area surrounding Woolf Crossing is currently agricultural or 
rural residential. Recently several large subdivisions and higher density master planned 
communities in the vicinity have been approved, and these developments are or will be 
under construction in the very near future.  The majority of these developments lie to the 
north and the west of Woolf Crossing.  These include Sycamore Farms, Prasada, Rancho 
Gabriela, Greer Ranch, Cortessa, White Tank Foothills, Zanjero Pass and Zanjero Trails. 
Refer to Figure 3, Surrounding Zoning Exhibit, which illustrates the locations of these 
developments in relation to Woolf Crossing.   
 
Approximately one mile to the north of Woolf Crossing is the proposed Sycamore Farms 
Development.  On July 22, 2004, the Surprise City Council approved the Planned Area 
Development (PAD) for Sycamore Farms.  This PAD allows a variety of land uses including 
mixed use, high density residential, institutional, and commercial.  The overall gross 
density allowed for Sycamore Farms is approximately 4.0 dwelling units per acre.  
Excluding non-residential acreage from the density calculation, the overall density allowed 
is 9.7 dwelling units per acre.   
 
Located adjacent to the north side of Woolf Crossing is a portion of the property, which 
comprises Prasada (formerly known as Cactus Lane Ranch).  Prasada, a large tract of land 
owned by Suburban Land Reserve, is being planned and entitled by Fulton Homes.  The 
majority of Prasada, approximately 3,300 acres, is located in the City of Surprise’s 
planning area and is zoned by the County as Rural Residential (R-43). A request for a 
zone change to Planned Area Development (PAD) was submitted to the City of Surprise in 
December 2005. The portion of Prasada adjacent to Woolf Crossing is within the City of 
Glendale’s planning area and has not been submitted for entitlements through the 
County, or the City of Glendale. This area is currently zoned Rural Residential (R-43) by 
the County.

Rancho Gabriela is a 799 acre PAD approved through the City of Surprise, bounded by 
Cactus Road and Sweetwater Avenue to the north, Peoria Avenue to the south, Bullard 
Avenue to the east, Reems Road to the west and located approximately one mile north 
of the eastern edge of Woolf Crossing.  Rancho Gabriela is primarily a residential 
community, with a small amount of neighborhood commercial and an industrial parcel.  The 
overall gross density of Rancho Gabriela is 2.9 du/ac.  However, if the commercial and 
industrial are excluded from the acreage, the overall density is 3.9 du/ac. 
 
The Greer Ranch PAD was approved by the City of Surprise on June 13, 2002.  Located 
approximately one mile north of Woolf Crossing, Greer Ranch is a 586 acre master 
planned community that includes single-family residential, neighborhood commercial, parks 
and an elementary school site.  Greer Ranch South contains an overall gross density of 
2.3 du/ac, with a density only considering residential acreage of 2.8 du/ac.  Currently 
not platted, the northern portion of Greer Ranch was approved at an overall density of 
3.0 du/ac, with a density only considering residential acreage of 3.3 du/ac. 
 
Cortessa is a 613 acre master planned community with approved Residential Plan of 
Development (RUPD) zoning.  Cortessa, located at the northwest corner of Olive Avenue 
and Citrus Road, is a mixed-use development consisting of Rural-43, R1-8, R1-6, and C-
2.  The residential portion of this community contains approximately 1,732 dwelling units 
and a gross density of 2.82 du/ac.  Another nearby master planned community is the 
approved White Tank Foothills with RUPD zoning.  Directly south of Cortessa, this 
community is a 640 acre mixed-use development with approximately 1,286 dwelling units 
at a gross density of 2.0 du/ac.  A preliminary plat has been approved by the County for 
White Tank Foothills, with a final plat that is pending.   
4.2 Access  
The existing roadway network and circulation features are detailed in Figure 5, Existing 
Rights-of-Way.  Within the Woolf Crossing area are two north-south and two east-west 
arterial roads.  Currently, Olive Avenue, Northern Avenue, Sarival Avenue and Reems 
Road are two-lane paved roads.  There are no pedestrian or transit facilities located 
along these streets.  Ultimately, these arterial roads, which provide access to and from 
Woolf Crossing, will have the following numbers of lanes: Olive and Sarival Avenues – 6 
lanes, Northern Avenue - 4 lanes and Reems Road – 4 lanes south of the Northern 
Parkway and 6 lanes north of the Northern Parkway. 
 
The future Loop 303 Freeway alignment is located on the west boundary of the 
development.  In accordance with the recent general plan amendment, the frontage of 
the future Loop 303 Freeway will contain entertainment/mixed-use developments.  Due to 
the large separation between the residential area of this project and the future Loop 
303 Freeway, we believe the freeway will have minimal negative impacts on the residential 
portions of the development.  However, the Freeway will provide an important 
transportation corridor for the development when brought to its ultimate configuration.   
 
The proposed Northern Parkway alignment passes through the middle of Woolf Crossing 
along the current Butler Drive alignment.  This location is the City’s preferred alignment 
which will provide a connection to Loop 101, downtown Glendale and beyond.  The 
proposed Northern Parkway will also serve as an important regional transportation

Section 4.0 - Site Location 
 
 
 
 
 PAGE   
 
11 
corridor for the future development.  According to the Design Concept Report prepared 
by URS for Northern Parkway, the preliminary estimate of right-of-way width that will be 
needed varies between 160 feet to 235 feet, corresponding to approximately 41.9 
acres.   
 
The traffic volume projected to travel both the Loop 303 and Northern Parkway will 
provide tremendous visibility for the Commercial Parcel.  The preliminary design of the 
Loop 303 and Northern Parkway restricted the access to the Commercial Parcel to two 
(2) half-diamond traffic interchanges on the Loop 303, at Olive Avenue and at Northern 
Avenue, and a half-diamond traffic interchange on Northern Parkway at Sarival Avenue.  
This restricted access would have limited the development potential of the Commercial 
Parcel. Therefore, Sarival Avenue is proposed to be realigned to satisfy the minimum 
distance requirements between Sarival Avenue and the Loop 303 as required to permit 
the expansion of the traffic interchange on Northern Parkway at Sarival Avenue to a full-
diamond interchange.  This full-diamond traffic interchange will enhance the development 
potential of the Commercial Parcel. The approved extension of the half-cent 
transportation sales tax will assist in the financing of the Maricopa Association of 
Governments regional transportation plan that will include the construction of the Loop 
303 freeway and Northern Parkway adjacent to and through the Commercial Parcel. 
4.3 Luke Air Force Base 
Woolf Crossing is located approximately two miles west of the entrance to Luke AFB. The 
Woolf Crossing Project Team recognizes the importance of Luke AFB for the nation’s 
defense and its economical impact, and is committed to being compatible with Luke’s 
operations. The majority of the Property is outside of the 65-Ldn noise contours (from 
the 1988 JLUS lines) and all of the Property is outside the Base’s clear zones and 
accident potential zones. Refer to Figure 6 for the Property’s location in relation to Luke 
AFB noise contours, clear zones and accident potential zones.  Recognizing that each 
municipality has unique circumstances and obstacles in attempting to control development 
up to and surrounding the 65-Ldn noise contour, Luke AFB recently developed a concept 
of graduated development away from the 65 Ldn noise contour.  From the Graduated 
Density Concept (GDC) guidelines adopted by Luke, the maximum densities are based on 
the distance from the 65 Ldn, and are as follows:  
 
Table 1: Graduated Density Concept Guidelines 
 
Distance  from   
65 Ldn Line 
Max Density Allowed 
0 - ½ mile 
2 du/ac 
½ - 1 mile 
4 du/ac 
1 – 3 miles 
6 du/ac 
 
Due to its proximity to the Base, the entire Property lies within Luke AFB’s GDC. 
Through careful placement and transition of land uses, Woolf Crossing fully complies with 
Luke’s GDC, which is Luke’s stated criteria for compatibility.  Appendix A contains a 
letter from Mr. James R. Mitchell, dated March 7, 2006, documenting that Luke AFB 
officials have reviewed the Woolf Crossing Master Plan and stating that it falls within the 
GDC Guidelines.  Figure 7 shows the locations of the two Graduated Density Concept

Section 4.0 - Site Location 
 
 
 
 
 PAGE   
 
12 
areas that fall within Woolf Crossing along with a table displaying the proposed and 
allowed densities in each area.  
 
In conformance with Luke AFB guidelines and the City’s General Plan, the Woolf Crossing 
PAD designates the land within the 65-Ldn noise contour as Luke Compatible Land Use 
Area (LCLU).  This area is intended for mixed-use employment that will serve to establish 
an employment area to support the expanding residential communities in the vicinity, while 
removing the potential for residential land uses beneath Luke AFB’s noise contours.  The 
mixed use employment area will assist in balancing the jobs to population ratio in the area 
by creating the potential for appropriate employment uses such as office and 
manufacturing.  Residents within Woolf Crossing will be able to enjoy employment 
opportunities directly adjacent to them, which will also reduce home to work commuting 
distances, thereby reducing the impact to the area’s transportation network. 
 
The planning process for Woolf Crossing has accounted for the Property’s unique 
location and the proposed master plan appropriately places and creates logical 
transitions of land uses. For example, larger lots and lower densities are proposed 
closer to the 65-Ldn noise contour line, transitioning to the Northern Parkway and mixed 
use area. The PAD also provides a buffer for the existing residential area south of 
Northern Avenue by locating the largest lots in the community on the north side of 
Northern.  While the project is not within the zone of influence of significant Phoenix 
metropolitan civilian airports, Woolf Crossing lies within the “Territory in the Vicinity of a 
Military Airport” as defined by State Statute A.R.S. § 28-8481.  As such, the Public 
Report for any subdivision within Woolf Crossing will include a statement that complies 
with the Statute.

Existing Conditions

5.1 Existing Land Use and Zoning  
Currently, the Property is used for agricultural purposes, and is zoned Agricultural (A-1) 
in the City of Glendale. The proposed rezoning request is consistent with the Planning 
Commission initiated General Plan Amendment (GPA 05-06).   
5.2 Existing Topography and Drainage 
Regional hydrologic data for this portion of the County has been evaluated by the Flood 
Control District of Maricopa County (FCDMC).  URS Engineering prepared a draft Area 
Drainage Master Plan (ADMP) in June 2001 (URS, 2001) for the FCDMC, which detailed 
the existing hydrology conditions west of the Agua Fria River.  The U.S. Army Corps of 
Engineers (USACE) HEC-1 hydrologic models for this draft drainage area master plan 
have been recently updated by URS (and approved for public release by FCDMC in 
January 2004).  The study limits are bound by McMicken Dam and US 60 to the north, 
the west by the White Tank Mountains, and the south by the Salt/Gila Rivers.  This report 
was an update to an Area Drainage Master Plan that was prepared for the FCDMC by the 
WLB Group, Inc. (WLB, 1995).  Model data developed by URS to predict 100-year 24-
hour flow rates for the region were used in the evaluation of offsite flows for the Woolf 
Crossing project area.   
 
The watershed upstream of the Woolf Crossing project area extends north to Cactus 
Road and northwest through a portion of the White Tank Mountains.  The east-west 
arterial roadways convey storm runoff to the Agua Fria River.  The specific roadways in 
relation to Woolf Crossing project area are Olive Avenue to the north and Northern 
Avenue to the south.  A portion of the flow controlled by Olive Avenue is diverted to 
Cotton Lane, which conveys flow south to Northern Avenue. 
 
The Woolf Crossing project area is generally comprised of farmland with minimal 
improvements.  The area immediately north of Olive Avenue and west of Cotton Lane is 
largely undisturbed and conveys overland flow to a roadside channel or swale on the 
west side of Cotton Lane.  Flows that originate from the west and northwest are 
considerably reduced due to the construction of Citrus Road and other regional 
improvements.  This roadway is an incised dirt road, which directs a portion of the runoff 
flows south to Northern Avenue.  The area west of Citrus Road, between Northern and 
Olive Avenue, known as White Tank Foothills, is currently farmland, however the area has 
recently submitted a final plat and will likely control storm flows to the west side of 
Citrus Road. 
5.3 Archaeological Survey 
An archaeological study was preformed by SWCA Environmental consultants in July 2005. 
The report found no sites, either eligible or ineligible, on the site. Based upon the 
results of the study, no further archeological work was recommended. 
5.4 Geological Subsidence 
The Woolf Crossing project site is located within an area referred to as the West Salt 
River Valley Groundwater Basin.  The Basin is bounded on the north by the Hieroglyphic 
Mountains and Hedgepeth Hills, the east by the Union Hills, Phoenix Mountains and 
Papago Buttes, the south by South Mountain and the Estrella Mountains, and on the

Section 5.0 - Existing Conditions

west by the White Tank Mountains.  Resulting from large-scale groundwater pumping for 
agricultural purposes, land within this Basin has experienced land subsidence and earth 
fissuring for more than 50 years.  In order to analyze the effects this may have on the 
Woolf Crossing project, a Land Subsidence and Earth Fissure Investigation was prepared 
by Geological Consultants, Inc. 
 
For approximately the last 20 years groundwater levels have either stabilized or 
increased as much as 125 feet in the Property’s vicinity.  This is likely in response to 
flood recharge, increased use of Central Arizona Project (CAP) water in lieu of 
groundwater, and changes of land use from agricultural to urban.  Historic elevation data 
suggest that residual land subsidence is continuing in the area.  The land subsidence 
documented in the Woolf Crossing area is consistent with findings in other areas such as 
the Salt River Valley (Phoenix), the Queen Creek Apache Junction area, the Eloy-Casa 
Grande-Stanfield area, Tucson, and the Avra Valley area and is not considered unusual.  If 
the regional water table in the area remains static or starts to rise, as has been the 
trend in local well data, the subsidence rate will decrease and land subsidence in the area 
will eventually stabilize and cease altogether.  However, the annual rate of subsidence 
appears to be diminishing with time as the basin and aquifer system reaches an equilibrium 
condition.  If groundwater levels continue to rise or remain static, land subsidence rates 
could diminish to negligible levels over the next twenty to forty years.     
 
The investigation found that there is a possible earth fissure located just east of the 
intersection of the Loop 303 and Olive Avenue, within the northwest portion of the PAD 
area.  The investigation recommends additional exploration be conducted into this 
possible earth fissure so that its characteristics can be defined prior to development.  
Once the characteristics of this possible earth fissure are defined, then if necessary, 
mitigation measures can be developed that are compatible with site specific plans.  Since 
the possible fissure is not located in the first phase of the development, but rather in the 
northwest corner of the commercial area, which is designated for a later phase, 
additional investigation can be conducted in the future for that section of the PAD 
without affecting the Woolf Crossing residential areas.  According to the report 
prepared by Geological Consultants, other than the earth fissure investigation described 
above, no additional subsidence-related investigations are required for the Woolf 
Crossing property.

6.1 Community Character 
As a master planned community, Woolf Crossing provides a variety of residential housing 
styles and densities, neighborhood commercial, recreational and educational facilities and 
infrastructure to support the resident population. The character of Woolf Crossing will be 
achieved by utilizing a cohesive, high quality design that will have a positive impact not 
only for the project itself, but on the City and the surrounding area.  To create an 
integrated mixed-use master planned community, there are certain defining elements that 
will be utilized to ensure the overall design compatibility to the area, which include: 
 
• 
Land uses: locate land uses to create transitions from less intensive to 
more intensive uses in a logical and complementary manner that is 
compatible with Luke AFB’s Graduated Density Concept.  
• 
Building design and architectural themes: shape, colors, material 
selections, craftsmanship, and decorative details. 
• 
Landscape buffer: provide sufficient landscape buffers to transition land 
uses. 
• 
Neighborhood design: maximize opportunities for exposure to community 
open spaces and amenities.  
• 
Commercial Area: focus of commercial at the intersection of Loop 303 
and Northern Parkway. 
• 
Open space amenities: location, variety, and design concepts. 
• 
Path and trail system: thoughtfully planned to encourage pedestrian and 
non-motorized vehicular use while fully integrating the overall community.  
• 
Landscaped area: location, species, design, and placement. 
• 
Community signage and entry monumentation: location, design concepts, 
colors, and materials.  
• 
Streetscape: including perimeter walls, view fences, street signs and 
landscaping.  
Residential Edge Treatment Along Northern Parkway

Through these design elements, the character of Woolf Crossing will be integrated with 
the unique characteristics of the area, while providing a high quality of architectural 
design, and amenities for residents to enjoy. The Woolf Crossing Community will be a 
distinct and desirable asset to the City of Glendale. 
 
6.2 
Land Uses  
Due to the project’s location relative to the future Loop 303, the Northern Parkway, and 
Luke Air Force Base, the Project Team proposes a mixed-use community, which includes a 
variety of uses to meet the needs of the residents of Woolf Crossing, provides a 
commercial activity area and an opportunity for employment uses and job creation. To 
achieve the proposed master planned development, the included land uses are: 
Residential, Commercial, Schools, Park, and Luke Compatible Land Use Area (LCLU). Refer 
to Table 2, which identifies the proposed land use, the gross acreage and residential 
densities of each parcel. Figure 9 illustrates the proposed land use configuration. 
 
Table 2: Land Use Summary 
 
 
The Woolf Crossing Master Plan includes a broad range of residential lot sizes. The Woolf 
Crossing PAD also offers commercial and other uses that are compatible to Luke AFB 
operations.  Additionally, an elementary school site and a neighborhood park site are 
provided for the educational and recreational needs of the future homeowners and their 
children. Each of these land uses are discussed in more detail within this section.

A. 
Residential Land Use Category 
An extensive amount of thought and effort was placed into the design of the residential 
component of Woolf Crossing. The Developer proactively met with City of Glendale 
Planning Department staff to discuss the Woolf Crossing residential layout as part of a 
Maricopa County rezoning application. As a result of their discussions, the entire 
residential layout was redesigned and re-engineered to incorporate Glendale’s vision for 
quality, sustainable neighborhoods prior to an application being submitted to the City of 
Glendale. The emphasis of the design is on the creation of unique neighborhoods, linked 
with open space areas and trails that are integrated into the fabric of the residential 
area.  
 
The Woolf Crossing land use plan also addresses the Property’s unique location and 
impact of major transportation corridors by creating logical transitions of land uses and 
appropriate landscape buffers.  Larger lots and lower densities are placed closer to the 
65-Ldn noise contour line, transitioning to the Northern Parkway and mixed use areas.  
Figure 12, the Conceptual Trails and Open Space Master Plan identifies this transition. 
The PAD also provides an increased buffer for the existing residential area south of 
Northern Avenue by locating the largest lots in the community on the north side of 
Northern.  
 
The residential portion of Woolf Crossing was designed to incorporate many of the 
elements of the City’s Residential Design and Development Manual (RDDM), such as: 
   
• 
Varying lot widths within the same development parcel. 
• 
A mixture of lot sizes and housing types to create an integrated neighborhood 
that provides home ownership opportunities to a broad market. 
• 
Extensive use of cul-de-sacs, knuckles and curvilinear streets to avoid repetitive 
streetscapes. 
• 
Creating varied lot depths for lots backing onto an arterial or collector street. 
• 
Staggering front yard setbacks by 3 feet or more on adjoining lots. 
• 
Varying the depths of the perimeter lots, which are visually significant and provide 
for variation in perimeter wall alignments. 
• 
A minimum twenty foot (average forty foot) wide landscape tract is provided on 
the east side of Sarival Avenue, a thirty foot wide landscape tract is provided 
along Olive Avenue and a forty foot landscape tract along Northern Avenue. 
• 
Numerous lots that are adjacent to or back up to open space areas. 
• 
Providing significantly more than the minimum 2,000 square feet in difference 
between the minimum area of two or more lot sizes within the master planned 
community. 
• 
Restriction of direct access to arterial and collector streets from lots backing 
onto these streets by wide landscape tracts and non-vehicular access 
easements. 
 
Appendix B provides a detailed list of the RDDM Guidelines and the manner in which 
Woolf Crossing complies with those guidelines.

Commercial Land Use Category 
The Woolf Crossing Master Plan provides approximately 225.5 gross acres or 31 
percent of the PAD gross acreage for commercial uses. Based on an assumed Floor Area 
Ratio (FAR) of 0.2, the commercial area has the capacity to generate nearly 1.96 million 
square feet of useable space. Full build out of this commercial area could ultimately yield 
approximately 3,614 jobs (225.5 acres x 43,560-sq. ft x .20 lot coverage divided by 
1000 x 1.84 = 3,614 jobs). This commercial area provides for the development of 
regional level projects that include uses such as offices, retail establishments and urban 
style housing, which is consistent with the proposed general plan amendment for this 
area. Refer to Figure 9, Proposed Land Use Plan, which depicts the location of the 
commercial parcels in relation to the overall Woolf Crossing Community. 
 
In order to provide for the greatest potential for success, the PAD incorporates the 
ability to facilitate a number of potential development plans that include the development 
of an all employment project, an all retail project or a mixed-use project that integrates 
employment, retail and residential.  All of the potential development plans are consistent 
with the General Plan land use designation of Entertainment Mixed Use.   
 
The Commercial Parcel is located within the twelve-mile Loop 303 freeway corridor, from 
Bell Road south to Interstate 10.  Though there are several regional commercial projects 
planned along this segment of the Loop 303 freeway, this corridor remains primarily 
undeveloped.  As commitments from employers and retailers are secured by projects 
along the Loop 303 freeway corridor, the development plans for the remaining planned 
regional commercial projects along this corridor must be updated.   The flexible 
development plan provided by the PAD is necessary to allow the Commercial Parcel to 
update its development plan to reflect any changes that may be required due to changes 
in market conditions.    
 
Additionally, the site selection criteria for employers and retailers evaluating regional 
commercial projects along the Loop 303 corridor will include an evaluation of existing 
development rights.  The Commercial Parcel’s flexible development plan will provide an 
employer or retailer with existing development rights and the elimination of the negative 
implications that may be attributed to the required rezoning of a potential site. 
 
Land Use Overview 
As described earlier, the mix of uses that will be developed on the site has not yet been 
determined. This section of the PAD will define the general development parameters for 
the broader land uses that are permitted in the commercial land use category. The 
following is a brief description of the development potential of the employment, retail and 
residential uses within the Commercial Parcel: 
 
Employment Uses.  The PAD provides the flexibility to establish the location, 
configuration and size of the employment area at a future date as the market demand and 
specific requirements for employment uses are determined. For specific development 
standards proposed for the Employment Uses, such as maximum floor area Ratio (FAR), 
refer to Section 6.5, Table 4.

Section 6.0 - The Proposed Project 
 
 
 
 
 PAGE   
 
22 
 
Retail Uses. The PAD provides the flexibility to establish the location, configuration and 
size of the retail area at a future date as the market demand and specific requirements 
for retail uses are determined. For specific development standards proposed for the 
Retail Uses, such as maximum floor area Ratio (FAR), refer to Section 6.5, Table 4. 
 
Residential Uses.  A maximum of eighty (80) acres of the total commercial area shall be 
permitted for the development of residential uses within Parcels A and B.  The residential 
uses will be integrated with the employment and retail uses to be developed within the 
commercial area. While the PAD provides the flexibility to establish the location, 
configuration, and size of the residential area at a future date as the market demand and 
specific requirements for residential uses are determined, the total amount of land 
utilized for residential purposes may not exceed 80 acres. The amount of residential uses 
proposed and developed within Parcels A and B will be updated with each Design Review 
submittal, and at the time of final plans.  
 
(1) 
Permitted Uses (Parcels A and B)

Luke Compatible Land Use (LCLU) Category 
The Woolf Crossing Master Plan will establish employment areas to support the expanding 
residential communities in the vicinity, while removing the potential for residential land 
uses beneath Luke AFB’s noise contours.  The proposed employment areas will assist in 
balancing the jobs to population ratio in the area by creating the potential for appropriate 
employment uses such as manufacturing and warehousing.  Specifically, the anticipated 
industrial employment centers proposed in the Woolf Crossing PAD comprise 
approximately 212 acres of employment or 55.8 acres per 1000 population.  At an 
average FAR of 0.2, this corresponds to over 1,800,000 square feet of employment.  
Using an average of 350 square feet per job, this equates to over 5,250 jobs.  Acting 
in concert with the employment areas, Woolf Crossing’s residential areas will provide an 
available labor pool for the significant employment opportunities within the proposed 
development as well as home ownership opportunities for employees who desire to 
relocate to an area close to where they work.  Residents within Woolf Crossing will be 
able to enjoy employment opportunities directly adjacent to them, which will also serve 
to lessen home to work commuting distances, thereby reducing the impact to the area’s 
transportation network. The location of the employment area near the Loop 303 and 
Northern Parkway provides an incentive for timely development and job creation.

Parks 
Open space and pocket parks are distributed appropriately throughout the PAD. Refer to 
Figure 12 Conceptual Trails and Open Space Master Plan, which illustrates the location 
of the pocket parks and open space areas. While 4.9 (net) acres have been designated 
for a private neighborhood park, it is envisioned that in total, approximately 44.8 acres 
within the Woolf Crossing residential area will be utilized for open space and parks, 
comprising 21.2 percent of the net area. Additionally, it is anticipated that 7.0 percent 
of the gross commercial and LCLU area will be designated as open space, or 
approximately 31 acres.   
 
Amenities in the neighborhood park will provide for active recreational uses and may 
include playgrounds, soccer fields, or basketball courts and ramadas with tables and 
barbeque grills.  Typical in today’s communities, maintenance of these amenities will fall to 
the Homeowner’s Associations (HOAs) that will be established within Woolf Crossing. 
 
Pocket parks of one acre or more in size distributed throughout the neighborhoods for 
convenient access by the residents.  Amenities will be provided in the pocket parks and 
will include such items as tot lots, playground equipment, ramadas and picnic tables.     
 
The neighborhood park, pocket parks, and various open spaces will be interconnected to 
the residential communities and commercial centers through the use of concrete multi-use 
trails, pedestrian pathways and bicycle lanes.  The elementary school and the various 
parks and open space will benefit and be enjoyed by the residents of Woolf Crossing, 
providing a necessary location for community gatherings, active recreational uses and 
enhancement of the visual attractiveness and identity of Woolf Crossing.

E. 
Elementary School  
As shown on Figure 14, Woolf Crossing is located entirely within the Dysart Unified 
School District jurisdictional boundary.  There are no existing educational facilities 
located in Woolf Crossing.  However, several school sites are proposed nearby and will 
be dedicated to the Dysart Unified School District.  Two miles to the west, a 15 acre 
elementary school site is located in the center of the White Tank Foothills development.  
Just to the north of that proposed school site, a 14.9 acre elementary school site is 
proposed as part of the Cortessa development.  Approximately one and one-half miles to 
the north, an elementary school site is proposed in the Greer Ranch development.  
 
The closest existing educational facilities in the Dysart Unified School District are Dysart 
Elementary School and Dysart High School located at Dysart Road, just north of Peoria 
Avenue (approximately 4 miles to the northeast of the Property). Estrella Mountain 
Community College is located at the northwest corner of Dysart and Thomas Roads, 
which is approximately 8 miles southeast of the site. 
 
Members of the Project Team have met with the Dysart Unified School District regarding 
the District’s needs relative to the proposed development.  The School District has 
stated that it will be requesting one elementary school site within Woolf Crossing.  To 
allow for adequate access and to place the school adjacent to the most homes possible, 
the school site is centrally within the portion of the development north of the proposed 
Northern Parkway, on the south side of the collector street. The school site is located 
next to the neighborhood park, which may allow for the sharing of recreational facilities 
between the school and the park. Dysart Unified School District has reviewed the 
location and acreage of the school site and has agreed that this is an acceptable 
location and size.

Architecture 
A. 
Residential Architecture (Parcels C, D, E, H, I, and J) 
The residential architecture includes numerous quality design elements. Each subdivision 
within Woolf Crossing will have a minimum of four models with three distinct elevations. 
These elevation types include, but shall not be limited to, Santa Barbara, Craftsman, or 
Desert Prairie with rustic stone style. Color schemes are prominent earth tones. Typical 
colors are identified in Appendix C. The following architectural features and details create 
these three distinct styles: 
 
Santa Barbara (Elevation A): A mix of radius top and square top windows with grids, that 
are recessed, decorative ironwork, predominant use of gable roofs at 5:12 pitch with s-
tile, decorative iron details, clay-tile decorative gable vents, stucco archways, and gable 
end stucco eave returns. 
 
Craftsman (Elevation B): Predominately square top windows with grids and shutters, 
decorative stucco window accents, body pop-outs, and corbels at gable ends. A 
significant use of simulated wood siding at eaves and at second story massing. Mixed 
use of hip and gable end roofs at a maximum5:12 pitch with flat roof tile.

Section 6.0 - The Proposed Project 
 
 
 
 
 PAGE   
 
29 
Desert Prairie (Elevation C): All square top recessed windows with grids and occasional 
use of shutters. Significant use of stone veneered walled elements that are standard. 
This elevation theme incorporates the predominant use of hip roofs at a 4:12 pitch with 
flat roof tile, visual breaks to emphasize strong horizontal lines, and the use of rows of 
small windows on several elevations. 
 
Additional elevation styles may be introduced at Woolf Crossing, but will adhere to the 
quality identified in these elevations. 
 
At this time, four distinct product offerings are planned for Woolf Crossing, with home 
widths of forty feet, fifty feet, fifty-five feet, and sixty-five feet. These different model 
offerings will help to create distinct neighborhoods within Woolf Crossing with appeal to 
a broad market. The homes sizes will range from 2,300 square feet to over 4,300 
square feet. Standard home features include concrete tile roofs, covered patios and 
stone veneers (depending on architectural style). Additionally, a minimum of two 
elevations within each product type will include side entry garages or forward living 
spaces, which eliminate the presence of a garage dominate streetscape. 
Appendix C includes examples of architectural elevations and floor plans to identify the 
high quality and varied design features envisioned for Woolf Crossing. 
B. 
Commercial Architecture (Parcels A, and B) 
The architectural concept for Woolf Crossing is intended to create a distinctive 
appearance through a mixture of building forms, colors and architectural treatments.  The 
intent is to create a strong visual character for the site, a prominent entry to Glendale, 
located at the intersection of the 303 Freeway and Northern Parkway. 
 
Each building will include discernible articulation on all sides and longer buildings will 
include treatments such as windows, accent features, use of varying materials or other 
similar architectural treatments.   
 
Parking canopies, freestanding and accessory structures, or other similar features will 
utilize architectural treatment that is consistent with the building.   
 
Allowable building materials may include: 
• 
Architectural steel 
• 
Aluminum 
•

Development Master Plan(s)  
The PAD incorporates the ability to facilitate a number of potential development plans for 
parcels designated as Commercial (Parcel A, and B) and LCLU (Parcels, K, L, and M). 
These development plans may include employment uses, retail uses, or a mixed-use 
project that integrates employment, retail, and residential uses. As the specific mix of 
uses within the these parcels is not known at this time, an additional administrative review 
process will be added to the normal City of Glendale review process to ensure that the 
final land use mix and site plan are consistent with the quality, character and intent of the 
PAD. The additional process will be comprised of the following requirements: 
1. 
Submittal of a separate Development Master Plan for Commercial Parcel A, Commercial 
Parcel B, LCLU Parcel K, Parcel L, and Parcel M shall occur when either a Design Review or 
Conditional Use Permit application (if necessary) is filed for a specific user, building, or group 
of buildings located within  such Commercial or LCLU Parcel. The applicant, without the filing 
of either a Design Review or Conditional Use Permit application, may file a Development 
Master Plan.  If a Development Master Plan is filed without a Design Review or Conditional 
Use Permit application, the Plan shall be processed in the same manner as a Design Review 
application. 
2. 
The Development Master Plan shall include the site plan for the Design Review or Conditional 
Use Permit project, along with proposed land uses, representative building locations, 
circulation (vehicle, bicycle, pedestrian), comprehensive sign plan, parking and landscaping 
for the remainder of the subject Commercial or LCLU parcel. 
3. 
At the time of application, the Planning Director, or their representative, may determine that 
the area of the DMP may be less than the remainder of the subject parcel if it is determined 
that sufficient land area is included in the DMP to satisfy the intent of Section 6.4.1-2 
above. 
4. 
The Development Master Plan shall illustrate how the specific land use that is the subject of 
the Design Review or Conditional Use Permit application can be successfully integrated with 
the land uses, circulation and landscaping identified for the remainder of the subject 
Commercial or LCLU Parcel. 
5. 
The Development Master Plan shall be reviewed and approved simultaneously with the Design 
Review application or prior to the Conditional Use Permit going to public hearing. 
6. 
A Development Master Plan may be amended as part of the review and approval of a Design 
Review application or Conditional Use Permit. A Development Master Plan may be amended, 
if requested by an applicant, without the filing of either a Design Review or Conditional Use 
Permit application, and shall be processed in the same manner as a Design Review 
application. 
7. 
A Development Master Plan shall not be required for private and public utility facilities that 
are screened by a solid wall.

2. Explosive or hazardous processes require approval by the Glendale Fire Department 
that all manufacturing, storage, and waste processes meet all safety and 
environmental standards as administered by the department.  
3. All uses permitted in this district shall be primarily conducted within a fully enclosed 
building unless otherwise permitted.  Outside storage of materials and equipment 
related to the primary activity is permitted provided that the outside storage area is 
screened by a wall with the design and height to be approved by the Community 
Development Group. 
 
6.7 
Walls and Monumentation  
Perimeter improvements, such as theme walls and entry monumentation will be 
coordinated with the other design aspects to create unity, and enforce the identity of 
the Woolf Crossing Community. In particular, theme walls and entry monumentation 
establish the initial definition of the Community upon arrival. To reinforce Woolf Crossing’s 
unique character, the following design elements, which also incorporate concepts from 
the City’s Residential Design and Development Manual (RDDM) are proposed:  
a. Enhanced arterial and collector entrances using landscape tracts, feature 
lighting, monument signage, and distinctive theme walls. 
b. Entry features will be integrated with the development and will use similar 
materials laced throughout the development walls and amenities. The 
community identity will be classical in appearance utilizing founders finish block 
with a aged brick appearance accentuated with white Trendstone block and 
ornamental concrete caps to reinforce a traditional “Estate” theme. The 
colors will be harmonious with a traditional Estate theme and will convey a 
subtle elegance.  
c. Variations in the theme wall will be achieved by a variety of means, such as but 
not limited to staggered centerlines, pilasters, varying heights, extra plant 
materials, alternating materials, or patterns, or breaks, or other suitable 
means. 
d. Where retaining walls are necessary, they will be compatible with theme walls, 
in terms of color, and materials. 
e. View fencing shall occur in appropriate locations where lots back onto

Section 6.0 - The Proposed Project 
 
 
 
 
 PAGE   
 
36 
common open space areas. 
 
By utilizing these design elements, the Woolf Crossing walls and monumentation will be 
cohesive to the overall characteristics of the area, and will serve to unify the community’s 
identity and architectural theme. 
 
6.8 
Open Space and Landscape Theme 
The vision for Woolf Crossing includes a variety of neighborhoods that are linked 
together by areas of community activity, such as parks, open space, trails, and the 
elementary school.  Various types of amenities are provided within Woolf Crossing, 
promoting resident interaction that builds a strong sense of neighborhood. In particular, 
the open space has been designed to provide a variety of activities for all age groups, 
such as walking, basketball, youth soccer, tot lots, and ramadas. Retention areas 
meander through the development, acting as a greenbelt, and have been incorporated 
into the open space theme, creating both active and passive recreational opportunities.  
 
To complement this diverse range of amenities, the design will incorporate provisions for 
landscape treatments within the public right-of-way, common landscaped areas, as well as 
treatments for private property. The Homeowners Associations will be able to further 
refine and enforce the residential guidelines as necessary, in keeping with the Woolf 
Crossing Community principals and objectives.  Figure 11, Conceptual Landscape Master 
Plan Exhibit, Figure 12, Conceptual Trails and Open Space Master Plan, along with Figure 
13A, Conceptual Neighborhood Park, and Figures 13B-D Conceptual Pocket Parks, 
provide the basic landscape concepts that will guide the development of the design 
guidelines and the initial infrastructure development for the project. 
 
The landscaping and design theme will reflect a character of a traditional pastoral park 
setting while complementing the surrounding White Tank Mountains with strategic use of 
Sonoran Desert Planting to provide a tie to the surrounding land uses.  Native and 
introduced species as included on the Arizona Department of Water Resources low water 
use plant list will be utilized throughout Woolf Crossing.  In particular, the landscape plan 
and plant palette are designed to provide an attractive street appearance, while buffering 
the more intensive office/employment uses from the residential areas. In addition, open 
space is provided around the main entrances of the neighborhoods, creating focal points 
and scenic views from the surrounding streets. Enhancements such as variations in wall 
patterns, plant materials, and other similar methods will allow the Woolf Crossing 
community to be easily recognized by a visitor or resident. However, Woolf Crossing will 
be designed and developed with a consistent landscape and streetscape theme 
throughout the community.     
 
A. 
Landscape Buffers and Screening 
Landscape buffers and screen wall requirements shall be in accordance with Section 
7.200 of the Glendale Zoning Ordinance, except as modified below:  
 
1. 
Landscape setbacks within the Commercial Parcels (A&B) and LCLU 
Parcels (K, L, and M) shall comply with the landscape setback 
requirements identified in Table 4 and Table 5 respectively. Landscape 
setbacks shall be measured from the property line, that may only be broken by

Section 6.0 - The Proposed Project 
 
 
 
 
 PAGE   
 
37 
driveways, project monument signage, project entry features, screen walls and 
other utility or traffic improvements customarily located adjacent to a public or 
private street.  No parking shall be permitted within this area.  
2. 
Notwithstanding this prohibition against parking within the landscape areas, a 
Motor Vehicle Dealership shall be permitted to utilize 20% of its landscape 
setback for vehicle display pads that may be illuminated and elevated to a 
maximum height of five (5) feet above the adjacent street grade.  (Refer to 
Table 4 for more information.)   
3. 
In the event that an employment or retail use is located adjacent to Northern 
Parkway, the Loop 303 or the Loop 303 frontage road, there shall be no 
requirement to construct a perimeter wall along this frontage.  The required

6.12 Recreational and Community Facilities 
Approximately four and one-half miles to the west lies the White Tank Mountain Regional 
Park operated by the Maricopa County Parks and Recreation Department.  The White 
Tank Mountain Regional Park totals 29,217 acres making it the largest park in the County 
system. Most of the Park is made up of the rugged and beautiful White Tank Mountains, 
which are a freestanding range separating the Phoenix Basin of the Salt River Valley from 
the Hassayampa Plain.   
 
Figure 14 shows the locations of libraries within the vicinity of Woolf Crossing.  The 
Maricopa County Library District operates two branch libraries and a new regional library 
near Woolf Crossing.  These are the El Mirage Branch Library at El Mirage Road just 
north of Waddell Road, Hollyhock Branch Library north of Greenway Road just west of El 
Mirage Road and the Northwest Regional Library just north of Greenway and west of 
Bullard Road.  Within five miles of Woolf Crossing, located in the Surprise Recreation 
Complex in the City of Surprise, the Northwest Regional Library has recently opened.  It 
is anticipated that the Maricopa County Library District will request a quality of life 
assessment for each dwelling unit for future library service based on the Library District’s 
standards. 
 
Woolf Crossing is located near several public and semi-private golf courses.  The Falcon 
Dunes Golf Course is located at the northeast corner of Northern Avenue and Reems 
Road, directly east of the Property.  Falcon Dunes is a semi-private course open to 
active and retired military and their families.  The Property is approximately six miles away 
from the Wigwam Resort, including the Blue, Red and Gold Golf Courses.  The Arizona 
Traditions, Happy Trails, and Desert Springs Golf Courses are all located less than six 
miles to the north in the City of Surprise. 
 
The Flood Control District is in the process of designing a regional storm water 
conveyance and storage facility to be placed parallel to the Reems Road alignment to the 
east of the Woolf Crossing Development.  The FCD is interested in utilizing an estimated 
60 acre parcel approximately ¼ mile north of the Olive and Reems Road intersection as a 
shared use recreational facility.  The parcel is currently under the jurisdiction of Maricopa 
County. However, several municipalities are interested in incorporating the land to fold 
into their recreational plans.  Potential uses may include extensive trails systems, multiple 
softball and/ or soccer fields, and sports courts among other opportunities. With the 
close proximity to this potential facility, the recreational opportunities for Woolf Crossing 
residents are substantial. 
 
6.13 Phasing 
Woolf Crossing community will be developed in multiple phases.  Actual timing of the 
phases will depend on market conditions and absorption.  It is expected that in general 
phasing will begin with the parcels between Sarival Avenue and a north-south line tangent 
to the 65 Ldn noise contour.  The second phase will be the quarter section adjacent to 
the southeast corner of the future Loop 303 and Olive Avenue.  The third and last phase 
is expected to be the mixed-use employment parcels between the 65 Ldn noise contour 
and Reems Road.  Refer to Figure 10 for a graphical depiction of the Phasing Plan areas.  
Sub-phases may be considered in order to accommodate infrastructure construction and 
the construction of model homes.  Table 6 below shows the anticipated phasing

7.1 Transportation/Traffic Circulation 
Woolf Crossing will be supported by a multimodal transportation network of streets, 
pedestrian paths, and bicycle facilities. The project will be served by internal local 
streets along with collector streets located both north and south of the proposed 
Northern Parkway. Currently the adjacent arterial streets are only two lane, rural County 
roads.  Another benefit of this PAD will be the assurance to the City that at the time of 
build-out approximately four and one-half miles of arterial half-streets will be brought up 
to City standards.  
 
The planning and future design process will also establish the creation of bicycle paths 
and multi-use trails to promote modes of transportation such as walking and biking as an 
alternative to the automobile.  This will lead to less reliance on the automobile and 
accordingly less gasoline consumption, air, and noise pollution.  In addition to 
encouraging other modes of travel, the land planning process through the proposed mix 
of residential and commercial areas, will encourage reduction in the length of trips.  As 
commercial and retail services will be close by, the length of travel to take advantage of 
these services will be much shorter.  The shorter length of travel will also translate into 
less pollution effects by the automobile. 
A.  Vehicular 
Due to the project’s location relative to the future Loop 303 Freeway, the proposed 
Northern Parkway, Reems Road, Olive, Sarival and Northern Avenues, ingress and egress 
to both the arterial transportation network as well as the regional freeway systems will be 
easily accomplished for Woolf Crossing.  To provide an analysis of the proposed 
circulation elements, a Traffic Impact Study (TIS) for Woolf Crossing has been prepared 
by CivTech, dated April, 2006, and has been submitted in its entirety under separate 
cover as part of this PAD.  The Executive Summary of the TIS is located in Appendix E. 
 
Although the proposed Northern Parkway is supported by the Maricopa County 
Department of Transportation (MCDOT) and the City of Glendale, and with the recent 
passage of Proposition 400 has funding designated in MAG’s Regional Transportation 
Plan, the right-of-way for the Parkway has not yet been acquired. It is anticipated that 
this right-of-way will eventually be acquired through purchase by MCDOT.  Refer to 
Figure 15 proposed Street Circulation Map, and for street cross-sections, see the 
Figure 16A, 16B, and 16C. 
 
The traffic circulation component of Woolf Crossing is consistent with the Northwest 
Valley Transportation Study (the Study), prepared for Maricopa County, adopted June 7, 
2000 and the City of Glendale General Plan 2025 - Specialized Transit Service Plan, 
effective December 2002.  As shown in the Study and the Specialized Transit Service 
Plan, there are no long-term mass transit services recommended west of Litchfield Road, 
which is two miles to the east of Woolf Crossing.  Also, in the long-term there are no 
park-and-ride facilities or transit centers recommended west of Litchfield Road.  
Therefore, as mass transit is not anticipated to occur in this part of the West Valley in 
the long-term, Woolf Crossing will not be providing bus stops or park-and-ride facilities 
at this time.  Should public transit be extended into this area, bus stops may be placed 
along arterial streets as determined by future Valley Metro Plans. Additionally, as no golf 
courses are planned for Woolf Crossing, golf cart paths will not be constructed within 
the development.  Year 2020 background traffic projections taken from the Study were

Section 7.0 - Infrastructure 
 
 
 
 
 PAGE   
 
43 
used in Woolf Crossing traffic analysis and proposed long-term functional classification of 
the roadways adjacent to Woolf Crossing are identical to those found in the Study. 
 
B. Pedestrian 
Sidewalks, or concrete multi-use trails on both sides of arterial and collector streets, 
within the rights-of-way and landscape tracts will provide excellent pedestrian circulation.  
On arterial streets, the pedestrian paths/sidewalks will be detached from the curb and 
gutter and buffered by a landscape strip to separate the various modes of 
transportation, i.e., auto, bicycle, pedestrian.  Pedestrian circulation will also be 
provided for with sidewalks on all residential streets.  Pedestrian connections will be 
provided to connect parks, open space and schools to the neighborhoods. 
 
C. Bicycle 
Figure 12, Conceptual Trails and Open Space Master Plan Exhibit, identifies the locations 
of concrete multi-use trails, collector streets and a preliminary layout of the first phase 
residential streets for the development. The residential streets will have 4’ wide 
sidewalks and collectors within the development will have 6’ wide concrete multi-use 
trails in addition to the travel lanes.  Arterials will have 8’ wide concrete multi-use trails.  
The sidewalks and multi-use trails will serve as a means to provide recreational 
opportunities as well as to promote alternative means of mobility, other than the 
automobile, through the community. 
 
Bike lanes will be provided on Olive Avenue and all collector streets.  It is anticipated 
that bicycle circulation will be accommodated by the bicycle lanes provided adjacent to 
these roadways. Where bicycle paths are contained within the right-of-way, a painted 
travel lane will be created adjacent to the curb and gutter, consistent with the City of 
Glendale standards.   
 
Recreational bicycle circulation may utilize the arterial street network, however, the 
recreational demand will most likely be satisfied by the multi-use trails connecting the 
various open spaces described in Section 5.0.  Also, it is anticipated that much of the 
recreational demand will be accommodated by the 21 miles of shared-use trails and the 
10-mile competitive mountain bike track in the nearby White Tank Mountain Regional Park.   
 
7.2 Drainage 
A Master Drainage Study for Woolf Crossing, prepared by CMX, L.L.C., is submitted to 
the City separately. The drainage design for Woolf Crossing is in accordance with the 
design guidelines in the Drainage Design Manual for Maricopa County, Arizona, Volume I, 
Hydrology, January 1995 and the Drainage Design Manual for Maricopa County, Arizona, 
Volume II, Hydraulics, January 1996.   
 
Assumptions for developed conditions were made based on the associated unit densities 
for each parcel.  As land-planning progresses for the community, revisions to this 
drainage master plan may be appropriate to represent modifications in flow paths, offsite 
conditions, and retention. In addition, as individual parcels are developed (i.e. preliminary 
plat or site plans are prepared), each parcel will be required to submit individual drainage 
plans and studies, as necessary, to indicate conformance with the assumptions and

Section 7.0 - Infrastructure 
 
 
 
 
 PAGE   
 
44 
guidelines reflected in the Master Drainage Plan.  The concepts and design guidelines 
provided within this Drainage Master Plan may be amended with the approval of the City 
of Glendale Engineering Department. 
 
Subsequent to the draft ADMP, the Draft, Volume IV, Level III ADMP Update Report was 
created (URS, August 2004).  This report provides alternatives, and a selected 
alternative, which incorporate the regional drainage projects being in place.  This includes 
drainage channels and regional retention basins, which are intended to reduce the 
impacts of flooding within the area.   
 
Woolf Crossing will be designed to route offsite flows through or around the project, 
maintaining historical drainage patterns, and to retain the 100 year, 2 hour storm event. 
The primary drainage structure that reroutes existing conditions flows upstream of Woolf 
Crossing is the future construction of the future Loop 303 Freeway.  Part of the design 
of this freeway is a parallel drainage channel.  This channel will divert all flows that are 
generated west of the future Loop 303 Freeway.  Two other facilities that will impact 
Woolf Crossing’s drainage design are the proposed Northern Parkway and the Maricopa 
County Flood Control project to design and construct a regional drainage channel on the 
west side of Reems Road. 
 
The timing of the future Loop 303 Freeway and associated drainage improvements are 
close to the proposed development schedule of Woolf Crossing; therefore, they are 
assumed to be in place in for the drainage analysis.  This assumption will allow for the 
design and construction of drainage structures that will not be grossly oversized for the 
life of the project.  This concept has been presented to the Flood Control District and 
the Maricopa County Department of Transportation and was considered a feasible 
approach as long as negative impacts on the adjacent property owners are not created, 
and that the finished pad elevations are one-foot above the 100-year storm water 
elevation without the future Loop 303 Freeway channel in place. 
 
One additional constraint on Woolf Crossing is the railroad tracks on the north side of 
Olive Avenue.  The ultimate half-street cross-section will not fit within the area between 
the Railroad right-of-way and the section line.  The railroad track may be abandoned in 
the near future, but if it is not, the alignment of Olive Avenue will have to be adjusted 
southward onto Woolf Crossing.  The land north of Olive Avenue is a future project called 
Prasada.  Due to the unknown status of the railroad track abandonment, the master 
drainage plan shows that a temporary channel is proposed to be constructed in the re-
aligned Olive Avenue north half-street right-of-way.  This channel will be designed so that 
it can convey the peak flows from the 100-year, 24-hour existing conditions, flowing full 
without freeboard.  When the Loop 303 is constructed and Prasada is developed, the 
temporary channel can be removed from the north half-street and a permanent channel 
constructed in the Prasada development to convey the off-site flows along the north side 
Olive Avenue into the Reems Road Channel. 
 
The south side of the site contains a similar situation along Northern Avenue, except that 
the majority of the responsibility to manage storm water flows remains with Woolf 
Crossing.  A channel will be constructed to convey the ultimate flows that will also 
convey higher interim flows.  The ultimate half-street will also be utilized for storm water 
conveyance.  Homes adjacent to this channel will be elevated at least 1-foot above the

Section 7.0 - Infrastructure

45 
water surface elevation to provide the necessary protection from the 100-year storm.  
Refer to Woolf Crossing Master Drainage Report (submitted to the City of Glendale 
under separate cover) for a detailed account of the information described above. 
 
7.3 Public Utilities and Services 
Utility services to Woolf Crossing will include: electrical service by APS, phone service 
by Qwest, natural gas service by Southwest Gas and cable television by Cox 
Communications.  The City will provide police, fire protection, and refuse collection. 
Currently, there are few existing utility facilities adjacent to Woolf Crossing area.  
However, utility service extensions to the area are expected to be imminent with the 
development of the proposed master plans to the North and West of the Property.   
 
Woolf Crossing is within the Arizona Public Service (APS) service area.  APS has facilities 
providing service on Woolf Crossing site for two existing farm well pumps.  APS also has 
existing services adjacent to Woolf Crossing for the Prasada Packing Facility located on 
the north side of Olive Avenue. APS has recently completed a Facility Siting Project for 
the West Valley which encompasses Woolf Crossing area.  The project included siting 
three 230 kilovolt (kV) substations and twelve 69kV substations, as well as their 
associated power lines.  Figure 17 shows the approved facility siting exhibit published by 
APS, which designated the west side of the future Loop 303 Freeway between Bethany 
Home Road and Olive Avenue for the placement of the 230kV transmission lines.  Also, 
one 230kV substation, TS2, has been sited near Woolf Crossing at the northwest 
corner of Olive Avenue and the future Loop 303 Freeway. 
 
According to information obtained from Qwest, buried phone cable is located along the 
Olive Avenue right-of-way, along Northern Avenue to service Clearwater Farms, and along 
Camelback Road to service Beautiful Arizona Estates. 
 
Woolf Crossing is located within the Southwest Gas service area, but currently there are 
no gas facilities to the site.  Gas may be extended from a 4” distribution main located at 
Peoria Avenue and Sarival Road. 
 
7.4 Wastewater System 
Currently, no wastewater collection infrastructure exists on, or in the vicinity of Woolf 
Crossing.  Existing low density residential developments in the County are utilizing on-
site individual septic systems to collect and treat their wastewater flows.  The proposed 
collection system for Woolf Crossing is planned for discharge to the existing Palm Valley 
wastewater treatment plant, owned and operated by the Litchfield Park Service Company 
(LPSCO).  LPSCO has expressed willingness to expand its wastewater service area to 
include Woolf Crossing project area.    
 
A Master Wastewater Study for Woolf Crossing was prepared by CMX, L.L.C.  A regional 
sewer master plan has been proposed to provide sanitary sewer service to this portion 
of the County.  The conceptual plan is titled the Litchfield Park Service Company 
Northwestern Maricopa County Regional Master Sewer Study (CMX, October 2004).   
 
Woolf Crossing, in addition to other developments in the area including Prasada and the

Section 7.0 - Infrastructure 
 
 
 
 
 PAGE   
 
46 
SAK Family Partnership, have jointly participated in a regional sewer study performed by 
CMX.  This study has determined that these developments can feasibly connect via a 
gravity sewer line to an existing LPSCO lift station at Sarival and McDowell Avenues.  The 
study shows that the wastewater can then be pumped to the existing Palm Valley 
wastewater treatment (WWTP) plant on McDowell Road west of Litchfield Road. When the 
capacity is reached at the existing WWTP, a new WWTP is proposed in the location of the 
lift station.  Refer to Figure 18 and Figure 19, On-site and Off-site Wastewater Plan.  In 
order to accomplish the expansion of the wastewater service area, a MAG 208 
amendment must be approved and a line extension agreement executed with LPSCO. 
 
If market demands, infrastructure cost, timing of construction or other factors create the 
need for Woolf Crossing site to connect to a different wastewater source or provider, an 
appropriate alternative plan will be identified, studied, and pursued at that time, subject 
to the approval of the City of Glendale Engineering Department.  Refer to the Master 
Wastewater Study for Woolf Crossing (submitted to separately) for a more detailed 
account of the proposed wastewater system. 
 
7.5 Potable Water System 
A Master Water Study for Woolf Crossing, prepared by CMX, L.L.C., has been submitted 
to the City of Glendale as part of this PAD.  Woolf Crossing is located entirely within the 
Arizona American Water Company service area.  The design criteria used for Woolf 
Crossing potable water system were taken from the Arizona American Water Company 
(AAWC) Development Guide, Revised September 17, 2003.  Refer to Figure 20 for the 
Conceptual Water Master Plan. 
 
The Water Master Plan identifies the size and proposed locations for major water 
distribution infrastructure based upon the AAW Development Guide.  This infrastructure 
includes water mains, and PRVs.  The pipe network shown in this plan forms the pressure 
distribution system required for transmitting potable water to each parcel within Woolf 
Crossing.  Based on discussions with AAWC, the ultimate water source will be the 
AAWC’s Surface Water Treatment Plant (SWTP).  This plant will be located in the vicinity 
of the Beardsley Canal and Cactus Road.  The SWTP is estimated to be brought online in 
early 2008.  Prior to the completion of this plant, Woolf Crossing’s water supply will be 
provided by an onsite well with a redundant water source approved by the Arizona Water 
Company.  The interim water solution provides a groundwater well for the early phase(s) 
of development of Woolf Crossing.  The water from this well will be conveyed via a 
transmission line to the Loop 303 Corridor Booster Pump Station.  This Booster Pump 
Station will be located in Parcel K of Woolf Crossing, within the 65 Ldn noise contour 
and adjacent to Parcel E.  
 
Any required treatment will be performed at these booster pump stations.  Following 
treatment and the necessary pressure boost, the potable water will be conveyed back to 
Woolf Crossing through the distribution network described in this study. Once the SWTP 
comes online, this well will serve as a backup water supply, and the primary water source 
will become the SWTP. 
 
The proposed layout for the water distribution system consists of 8-inch to 16-inch 
water mains connecting the parcels within Woolf Crossing.  The adjacent regional water

Section 7.0 - Infrastructure 
 
 
 
 
 PAGE   
 
47 
lines range up to 36-inches at the discharge of the BPS.  All pipes were sized to 
maintain a minimum peak hour pressure of 40 pounds per square inch (psi) and deliver the 
required fire flow while maintaining a residual pressure of 20 psi.  During all demand 
scenarios a velocity of less than 10.0 fps occurs in each member of the network. The 
master report represents a layout of the backbone water infrastructure for the 
development and is subject to modification through the process of engineering 
development.   Any changes to the approved Water Master Plan will require review and 
approval by AAWC and City of Glendale Engineering Department.  A detailed potable 
water analysis will be submitted with each individual parcel or phased construction plans 
for review and approval by AAWC. 
 
If market demands, infrastructure cost, timing of construction, or other factors create 
the need for Woolf Crossing site to connect to a different water source or provider, an 
appropriate alternative plan will be identified, studied, and pursued at that time, subject 
to the approval of the City’s Engineering Department.  Refer to the Master Water Study 
for Woolf Crossing (submitted to City of Glendale under separate cover) for a more 
detailed account of the proposed potable water system.

Open Space Programming
Woolf Crossing has been designed to provide ample 
opportunities for its residents to utilize a variety of 
outdoor recreational opportunities. The passive and active 
recreational elements are distributed through a network 
of linear passage ways, pocket parks, and a neighborhood 
park. These facilities are conveniently located and 
interconnected to maximize the usability of the spaces. 
Parks and open space will be installed with corresponding 
phases of development.
Neighborhood Park
The neighborhood park will be implemented by the master 
developer and will include active and passive recreational 
opportunities such as basketball courts, a soccer fi eld, 
playgrounds, drinking fountains, seating areas with BBQ 
opportunities, and open turf areas of different sizes and 
confi gurations.
Pocket Parks
Pocket parks are an integral part of the overall community 
open space system and provide a focal point for the 
trail system. The pocket parks provide a range of 
recreational opportunities from passive to active and will 
be constructed based on the development phasing lines. 
Pocket parks will be maintained by the homeowners’ 
association, as established by the developer.

Lot Layout 
1. 
The minimum lot width and depth are to conform to the applicable Zoning District. 
Minimum lot width and depth will conform to the approved PAD standards. In many cases, 
the minimum lot depth exceeds the minimum zoning requirement of 100-feet. 
 
2. 
Corner lots are to be at least five feet wider than the minimum lot width required by the 
Zoning Ordinance with a minimum 6-foot wide landscape tract. 
 An eight (8) foot landscape tract will be provided adjacent to the street side of a 
corner lot, as opposed to increasing the minimum lot width. By providing the tract, the 
additional open space and landscape opportunities, as well as increased sight visibility 
for pedestrians and vehicular traffic result in an overall higher quality of life for residents 
of the community. In the event that providing a tract is not feasible or practical, the lot 
width will be increased above the minimum lot width by at least eight (8) feet . 
 
3. 
Some variation in lot size is expected due to wider corner lots, cul-de-sac lots, and 
buffer lots. 
There will be some variation in lot width due to wider corner lots and cul-de-sacs. 
 
4. 
Vary the width of lots that are side by side by five (5) feet or more. 
The intent of this guideline is to provide for diverse streetscape through variation of lot 
widths.  The portion of Woolf Crossing north of the Northern Parkway has been designed 
to include varying lot widths because this area of the PAD contains the development 
parcels with the smaller lots. These varying lot widths will not be on each side by side 
lot, but scattered through the subdivision. In addition to varying lot widths, the intent of 
the guideline has been satisfied through the introduction of varying house product design 
with unique architectural elevations to help create an enhanced streetscape, enhanced 
open space linkages, curvilinear streets, cul-de-sacs and knuckles, which also provide 
significant lot variation. 
 
5. 
Stagger the front yard setback to living area and garage by a minimum of 3 feet or more 
on adjoining lots and provide a range of 6 feet or more on the same block. 
Front yards will be staggered by a minimum of 3 feet between adjacent lots, with a range 
of six (6) feet or more provided on the same block.   
 
6. 
Locate the main garage a minimum of 5 feet back from the living area and a third or 
fourth car garage a minimum of 3 feet recessed from the main garage.  Different garage 
orientations and depths are encouraged to prevent a garage dominant street 
appearance. 
The home product will include varying garage orientations and depths to avoid a garage 
dominant streetscape through the use of side entry garages and recessed main garage 
designs on many of the home designs.  In no neighborhood will more than 50% of the 
model designs available include a front facing garage in front of the living space.  
However, the actual mix of homes at build out with side entry and front facing garages 
will be dependent upon sales.  
 
7. 
Stagger the rear yard setbacks when a row of lots backs onto an arterial or collector 
street. 1. Stagger setbacks by 3 feet or more on adjoining lots and provide a range of

2
6 feet or more on the same block. 2. Vary depths of the perimeter lots, which are 
visually significant to provide for variation in perimeter wall alignments. 
In addition to the large perimeter landscape buffers along the collector and arterial 
streets, the subdivision has been designed with varying depths for the perimeter lots to 
provide variation in perimeter wall alignments backing to arterial and collector streets. 
Rear yard setback staggers will not be specifically defined, but the home design provides 
for rear yard staggers through the use of varying product depth. 
 
8. 
Provide a minimum of 20' from the property line to the face of the garage when a 
detached sidewalk is required. 
A minimum of a 20 foot setback will be provided from the face of the garage to the 
sidewalk. 
 
9. 
Provide variation in the width of the side yards and in the separation between houses on 
the lots. Increase the sideyard width on some lots to provide a minimum of twenty feet 
combined side yards. 1. Group wider side yards together on some adjoining lots to 
provide a separation of twenty feet or more between houses. 2. Provide a minimum of 
15-ft. side yards for two story houses. 3. Provide a minimum 30 -ft. rear yard setback 
for all two-story houses including those with integral patios.  A covered patio and 
balcony may extend into this setback up to 10 feet. 
Minimum side yard requirements of 5’ and 10’ are required through the approved PAD 
standards. The ultimate location of side yards should result in some instances of minimum 
twenty foot combined side yards.  The home design and garage orientations provide 
sufficient variation to accomplish the intent of the guidelines without requiring additional 
side and rear yard standards for two-story homes. 
 
10. Lots backing onto collector streets must be a minimum of 10 feet deeper than the 
minimum depth required by the Zoning Ordinance. 
The minimum lot depths in the different parcels range from 125' to 135', which is 25 to 
35 feet deeper than the minimum lot depth in the Glendale Zoning Ordinance for the 
comparable zoning category and provides sufficient lot depth to buffer the homes.  
Additionally, the collector streets have been designed with landscaped buffers to 
provide further separation between the homes and the collector streets without requiring 
additional lot depth along the collector streets. 
 
11. Avoid siding lots onto arterial streets unless and additional 20' landscape tract is 
provided.  In addition to the 30' landscape tract required along arterial streets. 
The subdivisions will be designed to avoid siding lots onto arterial streets. 
 
12. Lots backing onto arterial streets and more intense and potentially incompatible land 
uses must be at least 20 feet deeper than the interior lots. 
As stated above, the minimum lot depths in Woolf Crossing are significantly deeper than 
the Glendale Zoning Ordinance minimum and provide sufficient depth to create a buffer.  
Furthermore, the buffers provided along arterial streets provide enhanced separation 
between the homes and the arterial streets. 
 
13. Design the subdivision so that no more than six lots are placed in a row backing onto an 
arterial or collector street before there is a change in the lot pattern or streetscape.

3
The subdivision has been designed with varying landscape buffer depths along the arterial 
and collector streets.  Additionally, the design of Sarival and the collector streets in a 
curvilinear fashion to provide a significant change in the lot pattern and streetscape. This 
design provides sufficient variation without limiting the number of lots in a row. 
 
14. 
Provide mix of driveway orientations to include angled, circular, or side entry so that no 
more than 75% of the drives are straight. 
The housing product will contain a mix of driveway orientations, including side entry 
garages, recessed front facing garages and standard garage entries. While the actual 
percentage of lots with straight drives will be dependent on sales, the proposed 
product mix will result in no more than 75% of the lots with straight drives.   
 
15. 
Locate lots adjacent to or backing up to open space areas 
The subdivision has been designed to integrate the open space areas with the 
development, with lots backing up to or adjacent to open spaces. 
 
16. 
Provide a transition in lot sizes adjacent to existing development where lots are larger 
than 12,000 square feet. New lots abutting the existing lots must have a minimum lot 
area that is at least 80% of the average area of the existing lots. 
This project is bounded by a proposed freeway and arterial streets. There are no 
adjacent lots that are larger than 12,000 square feet.  The only larger lots are on the 
south side of Northern Avenue, which are separated by an arterial street and a landscape 
buffer along the north side of Northern Avenue.  Lots that are a minimum of 80% of those 
lot sizes are not designed along the north side of Northern Avenue. 
 
17. 
Position lots across from the intersecting street at three way intersections, so that 
headlight intrusion into living areas is avoided. 
The plat designs will attempt to minimize lots positioned across from the intersecting 
street.  However, the ultimate designs may necessitate such a placement in some 
instances. 
 
18. 
Spread grade changes gradually across the neighborhood to avoid major differences in 
elevation between adjacent lots, no more than 1 foot. 
The subdivision will be designed to minimize significant grade changes, but there will be 
no specific provision to limit grade change between adjacent lots. 
 
19. 
The creation of new flag lots or similar irregular lots is discouraged where such 
parcelization is not the prevailing pattern.  Lot shapes generally should be simple and 
rectangular without narrow lot frontages, and flag lots should only be designed in rural 
or hillside areas. This does not preclude wedge-shaped cul-de-sac lots. 
The plat designs will attempt to minimize the use of flag lots or other similar irregular 
lots.   
 
20. 
Avoid acute angles where rear lot lines and side lot lines meet. 
The plats will be designed to avoid acute where rear and side lot lines meet, where 
possible. 
 
21. 
Provide straight side lot lines at right angles or radial to street lines. Avoid irregular 
shaped lots. See No. 19.

4
The subdivisions will be designed to provide, where possible, straight lot lines at right 
angles or radial to street lot lines.  The use of knuckles, cul-de-sacs, curvilinear streets 
and the incorporation of open space through out Woolf Crossing may result in some 
instances where irregular lot lines are utilized. 
 
22. 
Avoid lots that are isolated from the pattern of lots in a block. 
The Subdivisions will be designed to avoid isolated lots, where possible. 
 
23. 
Provide site triangles where driveway visibility may be limited on "key lots". 
Site triangles can be provided where driveway visibility is limited on key lots. 
 
24. 
Driveways are to be a minimum of 20' in length, exclusive of sidewalk or curb. Driveways 
which are designed to serve more than two cars in width ( i.e., a three car garage) to 
incorporate an alternative treatment paving surface ( to reduce the amount of pavement) 
such as: 1. A paving outline. 2. Parallel strips of asphalt. 3. Stamped or Colored 
concrete. 4. Aggregate or brick banding. 
Driveways will be designed with a minimum 20’ of length from the face of the garage to 
the sidewalk. The product mix does not offer more than two car front facing garages; 
therefore, the alternative treatment paving surface is not applicable. 
 
25. 
Provide a difference of a least 2,000 square feet between the minimum lot size of two 
or more parcels in a master planned community 
Woolf Crossing provides parcels with four different minimum lot sizes.  The square foot 
difference between the smallest and largest minimum lot size is 3,900 square feet.  The 
actual difference will be greater because lots larger than the minimum will be created 
through the use of cul-de-sacs, knuckles and curvilinear streets. 
 
Street Layout 
1. 
The creation of new private streets is discouraged except when compelling and clear 
findings can be made that the private streets would benefit the entire neighborhood. 
At this time, no private streets are contemplated for Woolf Crossing.  If the design 
concept changes, the developer will work with the City of Glendale to address design 
related issues for the private streets. 
 
2. 
Gated communities are acceptable only when an interconnection to existing adjacent 
neighborhoods is not needed. Occasionally stub street may be necessary to ensure 
future access to adjacent parcels as required by the Transportation Department. 
At this time, no gated entries are contemplated for Woolf Crossing.  If the design 
concept changes, the developer will work with the City of Glendale to address design 
related issues for the gated communities. 
 
3. 
Provide a minimum of two arterial street access points at quarter mile and half mile 
locations when developing adjacent to arterial roadways. Provide additional access 
points when appropriate to eliminate the need for the majority of residences located in 
a square mile to use only one or two streets fro ingress and egress. 
Sufficient access points have been provided within Woolf Crossing that address the 
surrounding street configurations, including the realigned Sarival Road and the Northern 
Parkway.  Given the impact of the Northern Parkway and 65 Ldn line, which defines the 
development parcels, these connections will not be at the quarter and half mile points.

4. 
Secondary access points are encouraged for fire department accessibility. 
Secondary access points have been provided to ensure adequate fire department 
accessibility. 
 
5. 
Provide a functional hierarchy of arterial, collector, and local streets, which reduce the 
speed, and volume of traffic on the local streets. 
A functional hierarchy of streets has been provided. 
 
6. 
Restrict direct access to arterial and collector streets from lots backing onto these 
streets by wide landscape tracts and non-vehicular access easements ( NVAE). 
The subdivision has been designed with landscape tracts along the collector and arterial 
streets.  If a lot is immediately adjacent to a collector street, a NVAE will be placed 
along the lot line to preclude access. 
 
7. 
Use cul-de-sacs, shorter block lengths, loops, knuckles, and eyebrows, extensively to 
provide a variety of lot orientations. 
Cul-de-sacs, shorter block lengths and knuckles have been provided to provide a variety 
of lot orientations. 
 
8. 
The typical width for local streets consists of a 32 - foot wide street width in a 50-
foot right-of-way. 
The local streets will be designed to conform to the typical Glendale standards. 
 
9. 
Incorporate traffic calming devices such as landscape islands, horizontal speed islands, 
chokers, raised intersections, raised crosswalks, roundabouts, or another technique 
when needed to reduce the potential speed of traffic on long thoroughfares which 
sometimes cannot be avoided. The approval of the Transportation Director, and the Fire 
Department is required. 
If warranted, raised intersections can be installed at designated intersections along the 
collector roads. 
 
10. 
Limit local streets to a maximum of 600 feet and overlength cul-de-sacs to a maximum 
of 400 feet. 
Woolf Crossing uses a variety of street designs, such as cul-de-sacs and knuckles and 
provides significant integration of open space areas.  These factors, combined with the 
lot layout standards create a varying streetscape.  Although they will not be the 
standard, there will be areas within Woolf Crossing where street lengths will exceed 600 
feet and cul-de-sacs will exceed 400 feet. 
 
11. 
Cul-de-sacs are to terminate on lots, a minimum of 15-foot wide landscape tract, or 
entrances to common open space areas, not blank walls or narrow un-usable remnants in 
the front yards. 
Woolf Crossing has been designed so that cul-de-sacs do not terminate on blank walls or 
narrow un-useable remnants in the front yards. 
 
12. 
Eliminate potential "short cut" maneuvers through a development by minimizing straight-
long drives through the subdivision.

6
Woolf Crossing has been designed to minimize straight, long drives through the 
subdivision. 
 
13. 
Provide collector streets with a landscaped median that connects through a 
development with enhanced streetscape landscaping. 
The collector streets have been designed with a landscaped median entry to create 
enhanced streetscape landscaping (Refer to Figure 16A). The median will not be placed 
along the entire length of the collector. 
 
14. 
When houses back up to an arterial roadway a sidewalk is required to be located a 
minimum of 7 feet from the back of the curb, and a minimum of 8 from the back of the 
perimeter wall. 
Woolf Crossing will comply with this standard. 
 
15. 
Creating a safe, attractive, public environment that encourages pedestrian activity could 
be achieved by incorporating detached sidewalks on local streets and collectors (when 
houses face onto a collector) into neighborhoods.  The width of the planting strip 
adjacent to the local street is to be 5 feet to allow the trees when full grown to 
provide a canopy over the sidewalk. A minimum of a 4-foot wide sidewalk is required. 
Woolf Crossing has been design to integrate detached sidewalks in the community.  
Based upon the right-of-way for cul-de-sacs and knuckles and the required pavement 
sections, the sidewalks may be attached at those locations. 
 
16. 
A minimum 6-foot wide detached sidewalk is required when located adjacent to all 
school sites.  Design detached sidewalks to connect to the back of the handicap ramp 
at all intersections. 
The detached sidewalk adjacent to the school site will be designed with a 6’ wide 
sidewalk, with the understanding that the additional sidewalk width will reduce the typical 
landscape section width. 
 
17.

TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY  
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY  
 
This report documents a traffic impact analysis performed for a mixed use master 
planned development consisting of low density, medium density, and high 
density residential, commercial, employment, office, park, mini-storage and 
school land uses. The Woolf Crossing development is located north of Northern 
Avenue, south of Olive Avenue, west of Reems Road and east of the Loop 303 
within Maricopa County, Arizona.  The development falls within the current City of 
Glendale planning area, and includes approximately 800 acres of undeveloped 
land 
 
Civtech Inc. has been retained by Element Homes to perform the traffic impact 
analysis for the proposed Woolf Crossing during the Development Master 
Planning (DMP) and RUPD processes. 
 
The purpose of this study is to address traffic and transportation impacts of the 
proposed development on the surrounding streets and intersections.  This traffic 
impact study was prepared based on criteria set forth by the City of Glendale.  
The specific objectives of the study are: 
 
1. To evaluate lane requirements on all existing roadways and at all existing 
intersections within the study area. 
2. To determine future level of service for all proposed major intersections within 
the study area and recommend any capacity related improvements. 
3. To determine necessary lane configurations at all major intersections within 
the proposed development to provide acceptable future levels of service. 
4. To evaluate the need for future traffic control changes within the proposed 
development. 
5. To evaluate entry spacing along access controlled corridors. 
6. To evaluate the need for auxiliary lanes at stop and signal controlled 
intersections. 
7. To evaluate and recommend pedestrian and bike access corridors. 
 
The development is proposed with 656 dwelling units of single family residential. 
It also includes 188 acres of regional retail, 31 acres of office, 172 acres of mixed 
use employment, a 5-acre park and one 15-acre elementary school site.  
 
This study evaluates two horizon years, 2007 and 2027. It was assumed that 
Phase 1 consisting of portions of section 31 would be under construction/opening 
by the 2007 horizon year with perimeter access from Olive Avenue, Northern 
Avenue and Sarival Avenue. The entire Phase 1 site was evaluated in a build out 
condition for the 2007 horizon year. The additional properties are anticipated for 
development between the 2007 opening year and the 2027 future year with the 
addition of primary access points along Reems Road.

The proposed development is expected to generate 6,909 daily external trips in 
2007, with 400 occurring in the AM peak hour and 622 occurring in the PM peak 
hour.  The buildout of the Woolf Crossing development is anticipated between 
the 2007 opening year and the future year of 2027. The proposed development is 
expected to generate 33,268 daily external trips in 2027, with 2,715 occurring in 
the AM peak hour and 3,194 occurring in the PM peak hour.  To ensure that the 
estimate of traffic impact is conservatively calculated, it is assumed that the 
development will attract 100 percent of its trips upon buildout in 2027. 
 
The site is split to the north and south by the future alignment of the Northern 
Parkway. The East-West Mobility Study, conducted by the Maricopa Association 
of Governments (MAG), was prepared to determine if and where additional east-
west regional routes were required in this area. It also assisted in the 
determination of future potential parkway locations. The Northern Parkway was a 
preferred alignment for this new corridor. A Design Concept Report is currently 
underway by the City’s consultant to determine the exact location and 
configuration of the Northern Parkway. The Design Concept Report (DCR) was 
obtained for use in determining anticipated future traffic along the alignments 
within the Woolf Crossing study area. The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) 
recently approved by voters in the November 2004 election provides funding for 
the upgrading of Northern Avenue to a Parkway from Grand Avenue to Loop 303. 
The Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) is currently 
working on Design Concept of the Loop 303 from Clearview Boulevard to Indian 
School Road with intersection improvements located at both Olive Avenue and 
Northern Avenue.  According to the most recent edition of the Northwest Area 
Transportation Study, the Northern Parkway is part of the enhanced corridors 
network and would be located on a separate east-west alignment from Northern 
Avenue. The White Tank Area Plan indicates that the Parkway will be located on 
the same alignment as Northern Avenue. For the purposes of this study (and per 
the current DCR) it was assumed that the Northern Parkway would operate 
independently of Northern Avenue and would be located approximately ½ mile 
north of Northern Avenue, south of the Olive Avenue alignment.  
 
Per the request of the City of Glendale, additional analysis representing the 
impacts of the development on the surrounding street network if the Sarival 
interchange reverts to a half diamond has been included in the Appendix. 
 
According to City of Glendale Arterial Street Standards Map (Detail G-300) Olive 
Avenue east of 67th Avenue is classified as an A-2 arterial with a street section 
as shown in the City’s typical standards. Northern Avenue is also classified as an 
arterial east of 67th Avenue with an A-4 section as shown in the City’s typical 
street sections. There are no guidelines or recommendations for Olive Avenue or 
Northern Avenue west of 67th Avenue. These classifications and sections were 
designated prior to knowledge of the Northern Parkway which provides a “super 
street” as a parallel access located ½-mile from each of these major streets.

Both Olive Avenue and Sarival Avenue are considered roads of regional 
significance by MCDOT within the project area. Northern Avenue is classified as 
a principal arterial and Reems road as a minor arterial street according to the 
MCDOT Street Atlas.  
 
The proposed phase 1 development will provide four major entry points for 
ingress/egress from the surrounding roadway network. Two major access points 
are located north of the Northern Parkway alignment. Two secondary points of 
access are also located north of the Northern Parkway alignment and provide 
additional access for the development. Two major access points are provided 
south of the Northern Parkway alignment with two secondary access points to 
assist circulation. Woolf Crossing does not access the Northern Parkway. It has 
been assumed for the traffic modeling prepared for this analysis that an 
overpass/underpass at both Sarival Avenue and Reems Road crossing the 
Northern Parkway will be maintained for circulation. A half diamond interchange 
along the Northern Parkway is anticipated at Sarival Avenue and will provide an 
eastbound on-ramp and a westbound off-ramp. A study, prepared by Civtech 
under separate cover, supports the inclusion of a full diamond interchange at 
Sarival Avenue with roadway realignment through the Woolf Crossing 
development. Therefore, a full diamond traffic interchange has been assumed 
along the Northern Parkway with both Sarival Avenue and Reems Road. It has 
been assumed that Olive Avenue and Northern Avenue provide access to the 
Loop 303 through a frontage road system. The surrounding area roadways will 
be improved as part of this development.  
 
The following recommendations have been documented in this study: 
 
Existing Conditions: 
♦ The intersection of Reems Road and Northern Avenue does not operate 
acceptably in the existing condition (2004). Mitigation of this intersection by 
changing from two-way to four-way stop control resulted in levels of service 
(LOS) B and C for the AM and PM peak hours, respectively.  
 
♦ The Northern Parkway alignment is currently being studied by the City’s 
consultant and is in the final DCR stage. The exact configuration of the 
alignment has not yet been established. The “original” standard parkway 
typical section will include 210 feet of right of way with three general purpose 
lanes in each direction. Additional right-of-way options/requests have been 
depicted and are under review by the City and the developer. The true 
impacts of the parkway to the surrounding street network have been 
conservatively estimated with no reduction to projected east-west traffic flow 
along Olive Avenue and Northern Avenue.  
 
Phase 1: 
♦ Olive Avenue should be constructed as a principal arterial road containing 
125 feet of right-of-way. Eighty-seven (87) feet of right-of-way will be provided

by the Woolf Crossing development, south of the section adjacent to the 
frontage of the property, due to the existing railroad right-of-way restricting 
expansion to the north side of the road.  The ultimate half street construction 
has been requested by the City along the project frontage.  
 
♦ Northern Avenue should be constructed as a minor arterial road which 
contains two lanes in each direction of travel separated by a two way left turn 
lane and provides 110 feet of right-of-way. Ultimate half-street construction 
has been requested by the City along the property frontage.  
 
♦ Sarival Avenue should be constructed as a major arterial road within 130 feet 
of right-of-way. Sarival Avenue will provide three through lanes in each 
direction of travel separated by a two-way left turn lane in its ultimate 
condition. The City has requested the half street construction of Sarival 
Avenue along the property frontage. 
 
♦ Reems Road is classified as a minor arterial in the MCDOT Street Atlas with 
two lanes in each direction of travel separated by a two-way left turn lane with 
110 feet of right-of-way. The City of Glendale has requested that Reems 
Road be constructed as a major arterial north of the northern parkway. Major 
arterial construction will include three lanes in each direction of travel 
separated by a two-way left turn lane within 130 feet of right-of-way. Half 
street construction of Reems Road along the property frontage has been 
requested by the City at which time the property adjacent to Reems Road 
develops.  
 
♦ The northern collector road from Access A to Access D should be constructed 
as a minor collector road with opportunities for bike lanes and offset 
sidewalks to provide pedestrian safety for school related trips. The full street 
width should be constructed with phase 1 providing 70 feet of right-of-way. 
 
♦ The southern collector road from Access E to Access H should be 
constructed as a minor collector road with 70 feet of right-of-way. The full 
street width should be provided with phase 1 of the development south of the 
Northern Parkway alignment.  
 
♦ All major access points within the development, A, D, E and H should provide 
a separate left turn lane for egress.  
 
♦ Olive Avenue will operate acceptably in the 2007 opening year with one lane 
in each direction of travel and the addition of left turn lanes at all site access 
points. Additional lanes may be striped in this location with the half street 
pavement improvements but are not required for the roadway operations. 
 
♦ Northern Avenue will operate acceptably in the 2007 opening year with one 
lane in each direction of travel and the addition of left turn lanes at all site

access points. Additional lanes may be striped in this location with the half 
street pavement improvements but are not required for the roadway 
operations. 
 
♦ Sarival Avenue will operate acceptably in the 2007 opening year with one 
lane in each direction of travel and the addition of left turn lanes at all site 
access points. Additional lanes may be striped in this location with the half 
street pavement improvements but are not required for the roadway 
operations. 
 
♦ Reems Road will operate acceptably in the 2007 opening year with one lane 
in each direction of travel and the addition of left turn lanes at all site access 
points.  
 
♦ Right turn deceleration lanes are required at all major access points to the 
development. Minimum deceleration lane queue storage of 75 feet has been 
calculated at access points A, D, E and H. New deceleration lanes should 
provide 12 feet of width and taper to match the existing curb line at a 
minimum of 15:1. 
 
♦ The intersection of Northern Avenue and Reems Road operates unacceptably 
in the 2007 opening year without mitigation. Changing the stop control from a 
four-way to a traffic signal with the addition of left turn lanes in all directions 
provides the capacity to achieve an acceptable LOS. 
 
♦ According to the MCDOT Roadway Design Guidelines, separate left turn 
lanes should be constructed for all movements under stopped or signalized 
intersection control. Left turn lanes should be constructed in all directions at 
the intersections of Sarival Avenue and Olive Avenue and Sarival Avenue and 
Northern Avenue with the Phase 1 construction and improvements. Left turn 
lanes will be required for ingress to all driveways accessing the Woolf 
Crossing. Queue lengths for these movements have been included in Table 9 
for the 2007 horizon year. 
 
Buildout: 
 
♦ Northern Avenue, Sarival Avenue and Reems Road will operate acceptably in 
the 2027 future year with two lanes in each direction of travel. 
 
♦ Olive Avenue will operate acceptably in the 2027 future year with three lanes 
in the westbound direction and two lanes in the eastbound direction.  
 
♦ The Loop 303 will require three general purpose lanes in each direction of 
travel by the 2027 future year. Both intersections of Olive Avenue and 
Northern Avenue with the 303 will require additional turn lanes to mitigate

levels of service in the future. Recommendations for these movements have 
been depicted in Figure 13. 
 
♦ The intersections of Sarival Avenue/Olive Avenue, Sarival Avenue/Northern 
Avenue and Reems Road/Olive Avenue will require signalization by the 2027 
future year to mitigate lower levels of service. It is estimated that the 
intersections of Olive Avenue/Sarival Avenue and Northern Avenue/Sarival 
Avenue will require signalization by 2011. Signalization of the Olive 
Avenue/Reems Road intersection is anticipated by 2016. 
 
♦ The Northern Parkway to Loop 303 System Interchange could provide several 
complications to north-south traffic along adjacent arterial streets due to the 
location of ramps and frontage roads. A through connection along Sarival 
Avenue is recommended as well as a full interchange to service the adjacent 
commercial property.  
 
♦ According to the MCDOT Roadway Design Guidelines, separate left turn 
lanes should be constructed for all movements under stopped or signalized 
intersection control. Separate left turn lanes should be constructed at the 
intersections of Reems Road and Olive Avenue and Reems Road and 
Northern Avenue with the buildout of the remaining parcels. Left turn lanes 
will be required for ingress to all driveways accessing the Woolf Crossing. 
Queue lengths for these movements have been included in Table 10 for the 
2027 horizon year. 
 
♦ Access points for the future development are conceptual only for the 
purposes of estimating the impacts of full development on the surrounding 
street network. Additional studies should be prepared with each phase of 
development to determine the timing of recommended improvements and true 
impacts at proposed driveway locations.
