1. Introduction:
Zachary A Pebler, PLLC, on behalf of our client Cornel Mateu, is pleased to 
present Modern Ridge Estates, and support of a rezoning, PRD request, and preliminary 
plat for a new single-family residential subdivision, on the west side of 53rd Ave. just 
south of Escuda Dr. which is composed of Parcel #'s 200-24-010B & -013D. These two 
parcels combine to form a project of approximately 3.781 acres. The parcels are currently 
zoned A-l (Agriculture) and SR-30 (Suburban Residence) in the City of Glendale. The 
rezoning to SR-17 and PRD approval request, if approved, will allow for the 
development of a low-density, infill, six (6) lot, single-family, detached residential 
community with a singular private street. 
Lot sizes as proposed will be a minimum 20,000 sq.ft., lot setbacks to be 20 feet 
from the front property line, 10 foot sideyard, and backyard setback of 30 feet.  
Maximum lot coverage as proposed will be 40%.  Proposed open space and retention will 
be 10% of the project size or 16,471 sq.ft.  The projects overall density will be 1.58 
homes per the acre which is consistent with the City of Glendale General Plan 
designation of Low Density Residential 1-2.5du/acre. 
2.
Existing General Plan Designation & Zoning Classification
As attached herein as Exhibit B, the two parcels have a designation of Low
Density Residential (1-2.5 du/acre) in the City of Glendale. 
3.
Request
Our requests to the City of Glendale will be:
a) A rezoning from A-1 and SR-30 to SR-17 with a PRD Overlay.
b) Site Plan Approval
c) Preliminary Plat Approval
These requests, if approved will accommodate the development of an infill, 6-lot 
low-density, single-family detached community on 3.781 acres.  This project will yield a 
density of 1.58 dwelling units per acre with 10% of the project reserved for retention and 
open space.  A copy of the Site Plan is attached as Exhibit C. 
4.
Existing Site Conditions
The site is presently vacant and unremarkable in topography.  The subject site
between the two combined parcels make for an odd and irregular shape.  This is an infill 
location with limited infrastructure, which presents a reasonable solution for a low-
density use.  The projects main access will be from 53rd Ave. with an exit only looping 
through the community and up to Escuda Road by way of a private street.

5.
Relationship to Surrounding Properties
The property is bound to the north and east by A-1 zoned single-family residential
homes.  To the west are three SR-17 zoned properties; two homes and one home under 
construction.  To the south is a single-family residential community called “Carmel Park” 
which is zoned R1-7 with a vast majority of those adjacent homes 2-story product. 
The conversion of this property from vacant land to a low-density residential 
community will add new housing stock in the area that has become old and quite 
outdated.  If approved, this project will create an excellent transition from higher density 
residential to the south to the older and less-dense homes to the north.  Because of this, 
the site provides an excellent space for a quality infill development. 
6.
Site Plan and Community Design
As previously noted, this infill community is proposed to have six (6) single-
family detached homes.  The typical lot size will be 150’x165’ with a minimum square 
footage of 20,000 square feet.  The only entry to the community will be off of 53rd Ave. 
south of Escuda Dr.  The main street within Modern Ridge Estates will be a 32-foot wide 
street section until the road loops to the north, which has an exit at 25 feet wide.  The 
community will offer two centralized open space and retention areas that equate to 10% 
of the total project area.  This will create the feeling of a private, quaint, and quiet 
boutique community.  
7.
Design Intent
This boutique community is intended to build low-density/low-impact single-
family homes within an infill community.  The objective was to develop the site in such a 
way to offer a transitional product from the higher density to the south to the lower 
density homes adjacent to the site.  The minimum lot sizes within the SR-17 standards are   
17,000 square feet lots.  However, Modern Ridge Estates will be larger than 20,000 
square feet.  The developer is proposing a tree-lined tract on the east side of Lot #6 
along 53rd Avenue which serves as the focal entry point with a predominately 
indigenous plant palette.  A decomposed granite walkway will stretch through the 
community offering a path of invitation to the project.  This will be the crowned jewel 
of the area as a boutique community.

**bold indicated the deviation from standard 
As part of our application submission we are asking the City of Glendale to allow 
our PDR to deviate from the SR-17 zoning standard on a few categories.  Front and side 
setback relief along with lot coverage percentage relief will allow the developer better 
custom home product options.  Because each house will be custom and not production 
style, the developer will need some freedom to build a truly unique housing product 
similar to the three homes to the west. 
9.
Conclusion
The proposed Modern Ridge Estates subdivision will be a quality addition to the
area by bringing a high quality housing product with diversity in lot size and superior 
community and home design.  The submitted community design will serve as an 
excellent transition between two vastly different existing areas and will serve as an 
excellent in-fill project for City of Glendale.  We look forward to working with the City 
of Glendale.
