person up gloria williamson if you're in the room next door if you'll come next door over here we'll get you up here just as soon as we're ready annexation a-n-220 reams ranch public hearing located south of the southeast corner of reems road and northern avenue mayor members of the council here to provide staff report tonight is lisa collins our interim development services director thank you mayor members of the council this is for the reems ranch annexation and this evening is a public hearing on the blank petition there's no vote required on this case so the vicinity map shows the location of rheem's ranch which is at northern avenue and reems road it is immediately west of luke air force base so the annexation request is for 260 acres again south of northern avenue east of reams road and north of luke air force base the anticipation is for 3.9 million square feet of industrial and manufacturing you did see this a couple of weeks ago at your workshop last year however you saw this on august 27 2019 and the council approved a pre-annexation development agreement and that was to allow the property owner to address infrastructure needs prior to going through the entire annexation process again last week two weeks ago august 11th you did hold a workshop and provided us with consensus to move forward on the annexation which is why we're here this evening so again this is just a public hearing on the blank petition and there is no vote required i'm going to go through a couple of the range of fiscal impacts and assumptions here again when you look at the report which i believe is in your packet the assumption is that there will be fifty percent warehousing and fifty percent manufacturing which will in a blended average when you look at the 3.9 million square feet an annual net benefit of approximately 870 thousand dollars we also calculate the one-time revenues based on construction sales tax and permit fees and that is 15.4 million dollars and again that's one-time revenue so when you look at the recent annexations that we've had everything is done with the exception of rheem's ranch we have processed eight annexations throughout the year totaling a little over 1700 acres so rheems ranch is the final one that we're working on now again rheem's ranch is located within the noise contours it is immediately adjacent to luke air force base so we're in the 70s 75 and 80 noise contours which essentially means no residential but you can of course have manufacturing and warehousing so when we look at the surrounding property on this aerial to the north we have maricopa county it's agricultural vacant land also to the west is the same to the south again as luke air force base in the east is also luke air force base so the general plan does indicate this land as loot compatible land use area and again that's based on the noise contours in the area so the existing and like zoning and you've seen a couple of these before that are similar to this so the maricopa county zoning is ru 43 but it also has a military compatibility permit which really negates the ru-43 as i just said you you can't develop ru-43 which pardon me means single family residential 43 is a designation for one acre zoning so the glendale-like zoning of course we don't have anything that is exactly like that so this would come in under a pad that would allow the mixture that has been approved in maricopa county i've also provided in your packet the approved maricopa county board of supervisors report that was approved on november 7 2018 that did establish these uses so again there would be commercial transportation utilities manufacturing industrial and warehousing those were approved in the county and that's exactly the way the land would come into the city uh if the annexation is approved so the next steps in the process is required by the state statute again we are here this evening for the blank petition and a public hearing's required again there is no vote after this evening the property owner's signatures can be obtained on the blank petition so it will no longer be blank after that point we can schedule a city council public hearing which we have tentatively scheduled for september 22nd in anticipation of having those signatures obtained on the petition so once that's approved the site would be added into the city of glendale city limits 30 days later and with that i'm happy to answer any questions that you may have any questions hearing none uh glory williamson can you please come up the podium you have three minutes if you'd state your name uh and where you reside i'm gloria williamson i reside in that maricopa county island pull the microphone down in front of your face there you go okay i just have a few questions of how big is this industrial plan how big of the building is going to be because all around us we're being encroached upon by warehouses to the east of us to the i mean right now is to the south to us and both sides of the loop 303 all the way down to maryland and all of us that live in there have livestock and horses and everything and that's where we ride in those surrounding areas and all these people who are going to be working in these industrial areas probably are very uneducated and unaware how to respond and drive their vehicle around people who are riding horseback and consideration of people's livestock around there and stuff so i'm just curious how much more industrial is going to be put around where our homes are at and to take that into consideration the roads because it's all most of them are two two stop signs majority of our sorry four way and people run them all the time so i'm just one take all that into consideration about this zoning rezoning here at this location i mean it's right in the eye side of my home okay this isn't where we have a conversation back and forth if you have questions we can have no i'm just stating my concerns is what i'm doing yeah i know you're not going to answer me at all i already know that but i'm just sharing the community's concerns about all these buildings all the way around us and now they're going to be more that's going to the excuse me to be the to the east of us so we want you all to please please take in consideration of our home where we live how we live and the livestock and the horseback riding and everything that goes around wrong that goes on around in our community for the safety of everyone the livestock and the people living there thank you okay public hearing is now open on item 15 annexation an-220 i have just that one speaker card that you heard from anyone else well the karen is now closed we don't uh require any action tonight so we'll move on to ordinance miss bower

city and directing the city clerk to record a certified copy of the ordinance mayor members of the council here to provide staff report is glendale principal engineer jamie chapin good evening mayor and council members this is a request for city council to waive reading beyond the title and adopt an ordinance authorizing the abandonment of easements for public utilities in various locations
