  Re:  School District Notification – Proposed age restricted (55+) Multifamily Development 
         North of the NWC of 51st Avenue and Bell Road 
 
Dear Superintendent Finch:  
 
 
This letter is being sent to you pursuant to the City of Glendale Planning Department 
school district notification policy for General Plan and Zoning changes. 
 
 
Please be advised that on behalf of Sparrow Partners (“Sparrow”) we are applying for a 
Rezoning, General Plan Amendment and Design Review on approximately 7.44± gross acres 
located north of the northwest corner of 51st Avenue and Bell Road (the “Site”). An aerial map of 
the Site is attached. 
 
Specifically, the General Plan Land Use Map is being amended from Planned Commercial 
(PC) to High-Density Residential (HDR-30). The property is currently zoned Planned Area 
Development (PAD) for commercial and office uses. The rezoning request is for a new PAD to 
allow a high-quality multifamily development for an age-restricted (55+ years old) multifamily 
community. 
 
Sparrow’s 4-story age-restricted multifamily community will consist of approximately 203 
multifamily units with a residential density of 25 du/ac. A copy of the Site Plan and Conceptual 
Building Elevations are attached.  
 
As part of the General Plan and Zoning processes, I have attached a Certification of 
Adequate School Facilities for you to complete. The completed Certification can be mailed to 
Alex Lerma (address can be found on sheet 2 of the Certification) or emailed to Alex at 
alerma@glendaleaz.com.
