NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING 5/11/2020
A neighborhood meeting was held on Monday, May 11, 2020 from 6:00–7:00 PM (PDT). Due to
the global pandemic, City Staff agreed to allow us to conduct a virtual open house. The outreach
and neighborhood meeting notification letter was sent out to the contact lists on Friday, April 24,
2020 with information on how to connect to the virtual meeting and how to contact us if they
had any issues.
Ken and Kathy Watt, Tim and Teri Stilwell, and Jon Edwards attended the April 24, 2020 virtual
open house. Their questions can be categorized into one of three themes. 1) Open space; 2)
Height; and 3) Traffic. Further, the Applicant’s Representative Shaine T. Alleman and law clerk
John T. Oliver were also in attendance.
Mr. Alleman introduced the proposal and gave a presentation detailing the property’s history
and describing the proposed changes. After the presentation, Teri Stilwell expressed that she
enjoyed the vacant lot, the subsequent open space, and wished that the Property would remain
the same. Additionally, Teri asked about the potential traffic that would result from the
development. In response, Mr. Alleman discussed the traffic analysis and the steps being taken
to ensure a seamless transition along 83rd Ave. Additionally, the proposed nature trail and the
developer’s desire to utilize and maintain the natural feel of the New River wash were discussed
with Teri.
Ken Watt had questions regarding traffic and asked about the building heights in relation to
Property elevation. He was concerned that the building would be perched on the berm area
immediately adjacent to the wash area. Mr. Alleman discussed the proposed development
standards, including the fact that the buildings would not be perched on the berm area as this
area is undevelopable due to the wash limits, and that the residential buildings would be
development on the lower areas east of the wash berm.
ONGOING COMMUNICATIONS
Tiffany & Bosco received one (1) phone call from Cornel Horga, 17561 N. 83rd Drive, Peoria, AZ
85382, on April 29, 2020. Mr Horga had questions about the type of development going on the
Property and how high the building would be. Mr. Alleman answered these questions and asked
Mr. Horga to call if had any other questions. Should any commentary arise between now and the
initial public hearing, Tiffany & Bosco will bring it to City staff’s attention.
CONCLUSION
Each Citizen Participation and Outreach requirement set forth by the Glendale Zoning Ordinance
has been met. As stated above, should any additional commentary be received, we will promptly

RE:
City of Glendale – Evergreen Loop 101 & Bell Road
Minor General Plan Amendment & Planned Area Development Rezoning
Dear Neighbor:
Our firm recently submitted a Minor General Plan Amendment and a Rezoning application for
approximately 16.10 acres generally located at the northwest corner of the Bell Rd. and Loop 101
Freeway intersection and identified by the Maricopa County Assessor’s Office by parcel numbers
200-42-964A, 200-42-005J, 200-43-007K, 200-43-007G, 200-43-009J, and 200-43-009M (the
“Property”). The application numbers are # GPA20-03 and # ZON20-4 respectively. The
applications seek to change the General Plan Land Use designation from Office to High Density
Residential 20-30 dwelling units per acre and the zoning designation from the Palm Canyon
Planned Area Development (PAD) to the proposed Planned Area Development (PAD).
The change will allow for a unique and high-quality multi-family development adjacent to the Loop
101 corridor. The City’s goals for the Property and surrounding area are to bring development and
economic vitality to the area. Therefore, this proposed request is aimed at providing high quality
multi-family development to support land uses resulting in an urban environment. In short, the
allowance of multi-family residential will support the commercial and office uses located in the
area while providing high quality architecture (See attached site plan for development details).
Your input is welcomed regarding the proposed development. The City of Glendale requires an
open house for any development project. However, due to the global pandemic, City Staff has
agreed to allow us to conduct a virtual open house. The virtual open house will be conducted
during the date and time listed below. During this time, we will be available to answer any
questions you may have. Although the virtual open house is only an hour, we welcome the
opportunity to address your questions or concerns throughout the project’s duration.
