NARRATIVE 
I. 
INTRODUCTION 
Diversified Partners (“Diversified”) and Fore Property Company (“Fore”) are developing 
approximately two-thirds of the 39.43 gross (33+/- net) acres of vacant infill property located at 
the northwest corner of 91st Avenue and Glendale Road (“Site”).  An Aerial Map is provided at 
Exhibit 1.  The Site is divided into three “Areas” as shown on the Land Use Plan provided at 
Exhibit 2.  “Area 1” is the proposed Diversified development that includes commercial and 
retail uses within the south portion of the Site.  “Area 2” will be developed in the future with 
commercial, office, retail, multifamily, hotel and/or entertainment uses.  Fore’s proposed 
development is a multifamily residential community on approximately 12 acres within “Area 3.”  
An Overall Conceptual Site Plan is provided at Exhibit 3.  A Conceptual Site Plan for Area 1 is 
provided at Exhibit 4 and a Conceptual Site Plan for Area 3 is provided at Exhibit 5.  The 
proposed development on this vacant infill Site is consistent and compatible with other land uses 
within the Zanjero development, Westgate and the surrounding area.  We are requesting a Minor 
General Plan Amendment (“Minor GPA”) and a new Planned Area Development (“PAD”) 
zoning on the Site to allow uses and developments that are appropriate for the Site and will 
provide opportunities to live, work, dine, shop and play.   
II. 
SITE, SURROUNDING AREA, AND EXISTING GENERAL PLAN & ZONING 
 
The Site is currently vacant.  Glendale Avenue borders the south side of the Site and 91st 
Avenue borders the east side of the Site.  Zanjero Boulevard wraps around the west and north 
sides of the Site.  There is an existing multifamily development and a planned hotel development 
located adjacent to the Site’s northwest boundary.  An existing Cabela’s and Cracker Barrel 
Restaurant are located west of the Site, across Zanjero Boulevard.  Westgate is located south of 
the Site, across Glendale Avenue.  There are an existing commercial development and existing 
single-family homes located east of the Site, across 91st Avenue.     
The Site is designated on the City’s General Plan as Corporate Commerce Center 
(“CCC”) and the Site is zoned PAD (“Zanjero PAD”).  The existing Zanjero PAD allows 
commercial, retail, office, restaurants, hotel and multifamily uses similar to Diversified’s and 
Fore’s proposed developments on the Site.    
III. 
PROPOSED MINOR GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 
We are requesting an amendment from the Site’s existing General Plan designation of 
CCC to Entertainment Mixed-Use (“EMU”).  Diversified’ s and Fore’s proposed developments 
are consistent with the EMU designation’s purpose of providing a wide range of commercial and 
office uses, multifamily residential uses (greater than 18 dwelling units per acre), and potential 
hotel and entertainment uses.  Further, the Minor GPA request is supported by the following 
goals and policies of the General Plan: 
• Land Use Element Goal LU-1, Policy LU-1.1: Development is guided by sound 
growth management; the City shall ensure that sufficient infrastructure is in place 
for desired land uses.  There is adequate infrastructure surrounding the Site with 
Glendale Avenue, 91st Avenue and Zanjero Boulevard located adjacent to the Site.  
Further, the Site is located within area with existing and planned commercial, retail,

2
entertainment, employment and high density residential uses and this Minor GPA is 
compatible and complementary to the area.  
• Land Use Element Goal LU-3; Policy LU-3.6: Land uses tie into existing and future 
transportation systems; the City should encourage developers to establish densities 
of at least 15 dwelling units per acre for new residential development in areas within 
a quarter mile radius of high capacity transit stations. There are existing 
transportation systems available within the area to serve the existing and proposed mixed-
uses within the area.  This Minor GPA further complements the area and places more 
high-density residential uses for additional ridership and use of the City’s transportation 
systems.  The proposed multifamily portion of this mixed-use development within Area 3 
will be greater than 15 dwelling units per acre.       
• Land Use Element Goal LU-3; Policy LU-4.1, and Policy LU-4.4: Mixed-use projects 
provide urban clusters with housing, retail, restaurants and integrated transit 
facilities in Glendale; the City should support and facilitate the creation of mixed 
use projects that locate housing, employment, retail, entertainment and services in 
condensed areas to support walkability and reduce vehicle trips; the City shall 
encourage a variety and mix of uses, including both vertical and horizontal mixed-
use where appropriate.  The proposed Minor GPA will locate multifamily housing near 
an area with existing and planned entertainment, retail, employment and other 
complementary uses and further support the City’s plan for a walkable, pedestrian 
environment within a mixed-use development on the Site.  The proposed development 
will further cluster housing, retail, restaurants and transit facilities within this area of 
Glendale.     
• Housing Element Goal HE-6; Policy HE-6.2: Residential areas relate to work places; 
the City shall encourage housing in close proximity to designated employment areas.  
The Minor GPA and the proposed mixed-use development on the Site, including 
multifamily housing, commercial, retail, and potential hotel, entertainment and office 
uses, are located within the Zanjero PAD and across the street from Westgate, providing 
a vast number of employment opportunities for residents within this area of Glendale.  
The proposed multifamily residences will be in close proximity to the existing and future 
employment opportunities in the area.   
• Economic Development Element Goal ED-1; Policy ED-1.6: Glendale has a 
diversified economy; The City should monitor the Bell Road corridor and Sports 
and Entertainment District to ensure the corridors remain fresh and relevant to the 
current economic potential; and, continually explore opportunities to upgrade the 
tenant mix or enhance with residential opportunities.  This Minor GPA responds to 
market demand for more high-density housing in this area and further supports the Sports 
and Entertainment District.  Further, the proposed mixed-use development on the Site 
will upgrade the tenant mix in this area with fresh and relevant users in the marketplace.

IV. 
PAD ZONING DISTRICT CONFORMANCE 
This PAD is a mixed-use development proposal that satisfies the defined purpose of the Planned 
Area Development (PAD) zoning district under Section 5.900 of the City of Glendale Zoning 
Ordinance as follows: 
 
A. Encourage creative and effective use of land and circulation systems to accommodate 
changes in land development technologies. 
This PAD allows an existing mixed-use development (Zanjero) to continue to be developed with 
creative and effective land uses that meets the intent of the original Zanjero development.  The 
proposed uses will complement and support the entertainment mixed-use concepts of the area.  
Further, this PAD incorporates specific land uses, pedestrian elements, vehicular accessways and 
a variety of design and development standards which will further compliment development 
within the area.     
 
B. Encourage residential development to provide a mixture of housing types and designs. 
This PAD provides additional multifamily units to support the commercial and entertainment 
uses within the area.  The additional multifamily units will add to the primarily single-family 
homes within the area and further provide a mixture of housing types and attractive residential 
building designs.     
 
C. Encourage innovative development or redevelopment concepts for all land use types to 
provide a greater variety and intensity of uses. 
This PAD includes a mix of land uses, such as multifamily, commercial, retail and potential for 
hotel, entertainment, office and other land uses.  The proposed mix of uses provides a variety of 
land use types and intensity of uses.       
 
D. Provide a process which relates the urban design and scope of the project to the unique 
characteristics of the site. 
The vision for this PAD is to create a mixed-use environment with a variety of different types of 
land uses and varying intensity and building heights across the Site.  The proposal aims to 
provide convenient access to services within the area and add housing diversity to the areas 
predominantly single-family homes.  The additional multifamily units, commercial, retail, and 
potential office, hotel, and entertainment uses will complement the existing mix of uses within 
the area.   
  
E. Require the nature and intensity of development to be supported by adequate utilities, 
transportation, drainage, and common open space to serve the development and to 
minimize impact on existing or future adjacent development. 
This is a vacant infill Site.  Existing infrastructure is available to serve the proposed 
development.  Additional infrastructure necessary to serve the Site will be determined, designed 
and constructed in accordance with the City of Glendale requirements and policies.  The design

4
proposal ensures that the property will be developed in a manner that minimizes any potential 
impact on the surrounding area.   
 
F. Encourage development that is consistent with the policies and the guidelines established 
in any specific plan and the General Plan. 
A goal of the General Plan is to encourage integration of compatible uses in order to provide a 
cohesive environment that is in harmony with the existing character of the area.  It is also a goal 
of the City to facilitate infill development of vacant properties.  This PAD meets the intent of the 
approved Zanjero zoning and the City’s policies and goals.  Further, the proposed mixed-use 
development is compatible and complementary to the existing uses within the area.     
 
V. 
PROPOSED PAD 
A major objective of PAD zoning is to accommodate a mix of uses that combine 
residential and nonresidential land uses through the Site’s layout and common design elements, 
development guidelines, and development standards to create a dynamic project that will be an 
asset in the area.  Another objective of PAD zoning is to create an innovative development for all 
land use types to provide a greater variety and intensity of uses.  The intent of this PAD is to 
accomplish those objectives by zoning the Site to PAD for a mix of uses that are compatible with 
the area.  All development shall comply with the City’s Zoning Ordinance, except as modified 
herein.   
The proposed commercial and retail uses are located on the southern portion of the Site 
(Area 1), near Glendale Avenue and 91st Avenue, across from the Westgate development.  The 
proposed multifamily development is located on the northern portion of the Site (Area 3), 
adjacent to an existing multifamily development and adjacent to 91st Avenue and Zanjero 
Boulevard with easy access to/from appropriate roadway infrastructure.  Area 2 is located within 
the central portion of the Site that will be developed in a later phase(s) that may include uses 
such as a hotel, entertainment facility, commercial, retail, office multifamily and/or other uses 
consistent with the allowed uses described below.  All areas of the Site have easy access to the 
surrounding roadways and pedestrian sidewalks.

requirements. 
No Maximum Parking Spaces. 
 
(1) The amount of parking necessary to support the overall development of the Site 
will be carefully planned to accommodate the needs of the various uses without 
providing excess amounts of unnecessary parking.  The parking demands for 
similar type developments of commercial, retail, and multifamily all on one 
master planned site are reflected in the minimum parking requirements listed in 
the table above, which are appropriate for this Site.   
 
D. 
Comprehensive Sign Plan 
A Comprehensive Sign Plan is set forth as Exhibit 7.  The sign plan addresses both 
permanent identification and temporary marketing requirements and has been designed to 
complement the quality of the commercial, office, and residential components of the proposed 
development.  There is an existing public utility easement located within the eastern portion of 
the Site, offset east of the Site’s eastern boundary along 91st Avenue.  The increase in sign size is 
required due to the signs being located further away from vehicular traffic along 91st Avenue.  
The increase in sign size is also consistent with sign codes from other municipalities within the 
Valley.  To the extent the proposed comprehensive sign plan conflicts with the City’s Sign Code, 
the comprehensive sign plan set forth in this PAD booklet shall apply.     
E. 
Phasing Plan 
Diversified and Fore anticipate the development will be constructed in multiple phases.  
The multifamily development will be a separate phase of development from the commercial,

9
retail and entertainment uses.  The commercial, retail, and entertainment uses on the Site will 
likely be developed as separate phases depending on when certain users plan to open business.   
VI. 
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN 
This PAD intends to create an attractive, high quality, mixed-use development that 
incorporates a variety, yet harmonious, collection of architectural styles linked together with a 
consistent landscaping theme.  Each building design will be reviewed and approved with respect 
to the general composition of massing, form, scale, visual strength and integrity, particularly as 
viewed from the streets and neighboring properties.  These designs may, and should, vary, but 
should maintain common design threads that create compatibility between buildings and land 
uses, and are in keeping with the context of the project's overall development.   
Site Design 
Each parcel within the Site will be developed to ensure that building, parking, 
pedestrian/open space, entrances and retention areas are compatible with adjacent development. 
General guidelines for site design include: 
 
• Maintaining appropriate distances between structures to minimize the impact of 
parking. 
• Incorporate pedestrian circulation and open spaces, with benches, outdoor eating 
areas and courtyards, enhanced through the utilization of a variety of materials, 
landscaping, signage, and lighting. 
• Site lighting shall consist of streetlights (located in street rights-of-way), parking lot 
lights, landscape lighting, sidewalk lighting, bollards and other building entrance and 
pedestrian way lighting.  Lighting shall be located so as to minimize dispersion of 
light onto any residential properties, yet be adequate for safety and visibility of 
directional signage.  The height of parking lot lighting shall be consistent with 
adjacent developments. 
• Screening ancillary structures and equipment (such as dumpsters, mechanical 
equipment, electrical equipment, etc.) from public view.  These screens shall be 
designed and utilize appropriate materials and colors maintaining compatibility with 
the respective buildings. 
• Building structures and parking shall be contained by a continuous landscape 
perimeter, interrupted only by access drives.  The landscape perimeter shall be 
compatible to the landscape theme of adjacent thoroughfares to reinforce the 
landscape design of that street. 
• Parking for each development within Zanjero will be provided via onsite surface 
parking lots or parking structures, with controlled points of access from adjoining 
thoroughfares.  Parking areas shall include landscape treatments to break up the 
monotony of a large paved area and provide shade and defined access points, with 
parking aisles oriented to facilitate pedestrian movement to the building(s) served as 
well as to adjacent pedestrian paths of movement.  Parking canopies or parking 
structures shall be architecturally linked to the primary structure.

10
Building Design 
 
Buildings within the Site shall be sensitive to the southwestern climate, and be designed 
in a manner that takes advantage of appropriate cooling requirements and landscaping. 
 
 
 
Rooflines, relative building heights, orientation of entrances and other major architectural 
elements of the buildings shall be designed within the context of the overall PAD.  Building 
design shall complement the surrounding area, with contrast encouraged where appropriate or 
beneficial to the overall development.   
 
Buildings shall include articulated wall planes, projections and recesses to provide shadow and 
depth, and will combine multi-story forms with stepped, stacked or sloped facades. 
 
 
Service entries, site-mounted equipment, trash containers and other ancillary structures 
shall be screened from view, both from adjacent properties and surrounding streets. 
 
Building Materials 
 
 
Employment, Retail, and Residential buildings within the Site will use materials, such as 
the following (or similar alternatives): 
 
• Common clay brick. 
• Architectural metal panels, as a minimal accent feature only. 
• Poured in place, tilt-up or precast concrete provided that surfaces must be painted or 
have exposed aggregate finish (color and texture of exposed aggregate must be 
approved through the Design Review process).  Tilt-up concrete walls shall use reveal 
joints to break up massing of the walls. 
• Stucco or EIFS (exterior insulated finish systems) type systems provided that finished 
must be smooth or sand finish. 
• Integrally colored concrete block, smooth face and/or split-face block units. 
• Granite, marble or other natural stone. 
• Ceramic tile. 
• Sloped roofs may be a combination of flat concrete tile and architectural metal, but 
not only metal. 
• Any roof access ladders shall be located inside the building. 
• All roof drainage shall be interior roof drains. 
 
Color Palette 
 
 
Colors and materials should be used to create visual harmony within Zanjero.  The 
approved colors are as follows (or similar alternatives): 
 
• Desert hues and other “earth tones” or varying tints and tones of “cool colors”. 
• Muted shades of blues, greens and reds found in the natural desert color vocabulary.

11
• Colors appearing in natural stone utilized in buildings. 
 
Prohibited Design Materials and Color Palette 
 
 
There are some design materials and colors that should not be used in the Site.  Those 
include: 
 
• Wood, except for limited amounts of trim and accents. 
• Bright colors such as orange, red, blue, green, yellow, purple and similar colors, except 
for accent purposes or as a complimentary building color to the main building color.

VII. 
CONCLUSION 
Diversified and Fore have planned this development with a variety of commercial, retail, 
and multifamily uses on this vacant infill Site.  This development will continue the growth seen 
in this area of Glendale and be consistent and complementary of many other businesses and 
entertainment concepts in the area, including the Sports and Entertainment District.  The 
proposed Minor GPA and PAD will create a dynamic mixed-use development on this vacant 
infill Site that fits into the vision and plan for the area.  The proposed land uses are unified 
through the layout, development standards and proposed signage, providing a great opportunity 
for residents to live, work, shop, dine and play.  We request your approval.

constructed or poorly maintained.  
D.  To promote the use of signs which are well designed, of appropriate scale, and integrated with 
surrounding buildings and landscape in order to meet the community's desire for quality 
development.  
E.  To protect property values, the local economy, and the quality of life by preserving and enhancing 
the appearance of the streetscape which affects the image of the City of Glendale.
