       Citizen Participation Plan – New River Road Truck Parking 
 
 
 
 
     Date: April 9, 2020 
 
Purpose: The purpose of this Citizen Participation Plan is to inform 
citizens, property owners, neighbor associations, agencies, schools 
and businesses in the vicinity of the site of a Rezoning application for 
New River Road Truck Parking. The site is located at the SEC of 
Orangewood Avenue & New River Road; and is an application for 
9.49 acres of A-1 Agriculture to be designated as a M-I Light 
Industrial. This participation plan will ensure that those affected by 
this application for a Rezoning will have an opportunity to learn 
about and comment on the proposal.

Pre-submittal Meeting: The pre-submittal meeting with City of 
Glendale planning staff was waived by staff due. Staff has agreed 
to 
review 
the 
formal 
submittal 
and 
in 
initial 
discussions 
recommended that a Rezoning would be needed for the proposed 
truck parking lot. Discussions with staff also identified a Citizens 
Participation Plan would be required that would notify adjacent 
residents and nearby registered neighborhoods. 
 
Action Plan: In order to provide an effective citizen participation in 
conjunction with the application, the following actions will be taken 
to provide opportunities to understand and address the real or 
perceived impacts the request would pose to members of the 
surrounding community. 
 
1. A contact list will be developed for citizens in this area, 
specifically all property owners within 300 feet of the project 
boundaries. 
There are 
currently 
no 
existing 
Homeowner 
Associations or Registered Neighborhood Groups that would be 
included in the Plan. Those individuals on the “Interested Parties”

list maintained by the City of Glendale Planning Division will be 
added to the contact list. The notification letter will be submitted 
to the project planner by the date listed in the proposed 
schedule below. 
 
2. All persons listed on the contact list will receive a letter, by first 
class mail, that provides notice of the public hearing, describes 
the project, includes a vicinity plan for the proposed truck 
parking Rezone.  
 
3. A notice will be published in the Arizona Republic (a local 
newspaper of general circulation) to inform the residents living 
within the City. 
 
4. Physical Posting of a Notice in on or near the property will occur 
15 days before the scheduled hearing. 
 
Note: All comments, questions and concerns received will be  
copied to the project planner with the City of Glendale and be 
included in the final Participation Report. 
 
Consideration for affected parties: In order to provide an effective 
citizen 
participation 
in 
conjunction 
with 
the 
application, 
consideration has been given to consider the potential for blocked 
views, appearance of structures, safety of the surrounding residents 
and improvements in surrounding roadways. 
 
Concerns & Questions: All comments will be reviewed. Those 
individual with specific concerns will be contacted to further discuss 
those concerns. Individuals will be free to call me at any time during 
the application process.

amendment occurs to the proposed development after the initial 
mailing, another notification letter will be mailed, as soon as 
possible, before the hearing date.

Rezoning Case#: ZON20-10 
 
Dear Neighbor,  
 
We are applying for a rezone change for a project currently located at the 
SEC of Orangewood Avenue & New River Road in Glendale, Arizona.  
 
This request is for development of an approximately 9.49-acre light 
industrial site that will include truck and tractor trailer parking, with 
associated circulation and access from New River Drive. The site would 
provide parking for approximately 200 semi-trailers and associated trucks. It 
is the intent of the ownership to create a clean, safe and orderly truck 
parking facility. The assessor parcel numbers for the property are 143-58-
004K and 143-58-003L. 
 
As a part of the Citizens Participation Plan for this project, this letter is being 
sent to all property owners within 300 feet of the property. This notice is 
being sent, at the request of the City of Glendale and our development 
team, to seek input from you as a part of the planning process. A copy of 
the proposed site, shown on an aerial map, is enclosed for you to better 
understand where the project is located. The rezone is to change the 
zoning from A-1(Agriculture) to M-1 (Light Industrial). 
  
Please note that all comments, questions, and concerns regarding our 
proposal shall be sent so that they are received by us within two weeks of 
the date of the letter.  
 
If you have any questions regarding this proposal, please call me at 480-
991-3985. The City of Glendale has assigned this case to Edward Vigil, a 
planner with their Planning Division. He can be reached at 623-930-3071 
should you have any questions regarding the Citizen Participation process. 
If you have sold this property in the interim, please forward this 
correspondence to the new owner.  
 
   Sincerely,
