Project Description 
The Pizzuti Companies (“Pizzuti” or the “Applicant”) proposes to develop approximately 75 gross acres located 
at the northwest corner of Glendale Avenue and Reems Road (the “Property”). This application requests 
approval of a Planned Area Development (“PAD”) District to allow the development of a modern industrial 
warehouse development known as Bickman Industrial.   
The Applicant seeks to develop the Property in accordance with the Light Industrial (M-1) zoning with modified 
development standards to meet the heightened level of expectation for industrial users within this expanding 
manufacturing and transportation corridor. The requested zoning is compliant with jurisdictional regulations 
governing property near a military installation with flight operations and within the Luke Air Force Base noise 
contours. The Property is currently within the unincorporated area of Maricopa County and is within the City of 
Glendale’s Planning Area. An application to annex the Property into the City of Glendale is being processed in 
conjunction with this application. 
The Bickman Industrial PAD is intended to provide a superior land plan to what could be achieved in Maricopa 
County and facilitate the development of a modern industrial project that is compatible with the mission of Luke 
Air Force Base, the City of Glendale’s General Plan, and Arizona Revised Statutes for property near a military 
airport. Developing the Project will create opportunities to maximize the freeway access and synergy of other 
new manufacturing and industrial developments in the area. The Planned Area Development regulations are 
tailored to the proposed development and reflect today’s market for warehouse/distribution facilities.  
Notification Technique 
A notification letter describing the application and inviting the recipients to a virtual neighborhood meeting 
scheduled for June 9, 2021 at 5:30 pm was mailed to the following individuals and entities on May 28, 2021: 
a. 
All property owners within a 300-foot radius of the Property.   
c. 
All those noted as Interested Parties as provided by the City. 
A copy of the notice letter, mailing list, and mailing map is attached at Tab 1. 
Meeting Summary 
A virtual neighborhood meeting was held for the proposed project on June 9, 2021 from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm via 
Zoom. Approximately seven (7) individuals registered to attend the meeting. At the beginning of the meeting, the 
applicant provided an overview of the project and described the site history, proposed development standards, 
features and architecture, and landscape. A copy of the slides presented at the neighborhood meeting are 
attached at Tab 2. 
Following the presentation, the development team opened up the meeting to questions and answers. Questions 
focused on building setbacks, building height, traffic and vehicular circulation, and roadway improvements. The 
development team answered addressed all questions asked by the participants, and also explained that the 
proposed development aligns with the uses permitted within the Luke Air Force Base noise contours and is 
consistent with both the City of Glendale’s General Plan and prevailing development patterns in this area. At the
