Re: Project Narrative for Bethany 303 - NEC Sarival Ave. and Claremont Drive 
 
The proposed project will consist of developing approximately 76 acres with multiple 
buildings that combined would equal approximately 1,250,000 square feet. The 
buildings would be planned for industrial distribution uses with office and would 
include associated truck parking, auto parking and other on-site and off-site 
infrastructure improvements. 
  
The site is within Maricopa County and is currently unincorporated. This project will 
first request annexation into the city limits of Glendale, Arizona. The existing RU-43  
zoning designation from the county would be converted in the annexation to conform 
with the closest similar zoning designation in the City of Glendale which would be RR-
45. Land Use would fall into the adjacent LCLU (Luke Compatible Land Use). The 
project would then seek to rezone the from Rural Residential (RR-45) with a PAD 
Overlay which will be consistent with the recently approved PAD for the Lincoln 
Logistics Project directly to the north and west of this site.  
 
The general plan designation allows for light industrial uses, so the M-1 zoning would 
be consistent with the proposed general plan designation. The owner would like to run 
the PAD and annexation concurrently and then would like to submit for site plan 
approval. Upon successful completion of the Site Plan process, the development team 
would like to submit construction documents. The buildings will be comprised of 
mostly warehouse space with office space on the corners of the building. Loading docks 
will either be internalized or will face north and south with several buildings covering 
a large portion of the site. A concept site plan will be included in the DR submittal 
package. Parking spaces will include roughly 1,113 cars and up to 178 trailers stalls 
depending on the final site plan that moves forward. 
 
The design intent of the architecture is to create an attractive, high quality facility 
incorporating a simple, clean, warehouse architectural style. The project materials 
include painted tilt-up panels with store front glass office spaces on the corners. 
 
Landscape design shall be developed to have a consistent look. The perimeter of the site 
shall incorporate the use of flowering desert shrubs, drought tolerant trees and

groundcovers that will provide a sense of identity and be compatible with the 
environmental conditions of the area. Areas adjacent to the public right of way will be 
blended into the existing landscape edge treatment. 
 
The drainage for the site flows primarily from the northwest to the southeast. Surface 
drainage will be used for retention of the 100-year, 2-hour event. Building down spouts 
will be directed to retention basins located throughout the site. 
 
Access to the site will be from Sarival Avenue. Claremont Street and Maryland Avenue 
will be developed as  shared private streets that will connect to Alsup Avenue to the 
east. 
 
Our team has spent a significant time during the past month working on project research 
and determining the infrastructure requirements for the site. The developer of this 
project is sincerely excited about this this property and looks forward to working with 
City staff for the duration of the project.
