professional services agreement with credit management group llc for the downtown holiday lights display okay we do have a speaker card a gentleman would like to speak aubry denkamp or chad schimack one or the other you could come up and we'll give you i'm hoping they're here okay whichever is going to speak the podium's right here okay i can't hear you obviously the podium's right here so what i need you to do is uh say state your name city you live in and you're speaking on item 36. my name is chad shimak real close to the microphone for me sir my name is chad shimek i'm an owner of a company called custom holiday lights based out of scottsdale arizona and i'm here to discuss the rfp that we bid on this past couple months regarding the holiday decorations and lighting by going through this process we came across a couple things that we think that are very flawed in the system or the process of voting on on this actual subject we just wanted the opportunity to speak with you guys letting you know our experience here and things that we think could be done differently excuse me for the record would you identify yourself oh sorry aubry denicamp i'm also a member of custom holiday lights okay um throughout the process going through the rfp getting all of our bids and everything back we had a pretty significant difference in scoring so with that we asked for all the scores and tabulations to be submitted so we could review just to kind of better ourselves throughout that process we did see that they did not call any of our references which was graded at a 20 of the project um after further investigation we also saw the rfp stated to have the weighted references at excuse me 20 percent as well as cost at 25 this was scored incorrectly as well as those were flip-flopped on the actual scoring that was determining the winner of the bid incorrect calculations we're also giving just in adding up the scores from each of the voters which was brought to our attention as well after doing further investigation we noticed some large differences in scoring so inquired about that there was three different committee members voting on or scoring each of the rfps the first was guiding pete garcia he had no relationship with the other company who was also bidding on this and we scored hundreds of points higher just based on his evaluation than the other two committee members heidi beriga and don marquez which after further investigation in speaking with the rfp manager had also stated that they did have a relationship working with the company in the past um going through this just seeing the differences in scoring and everything they changed the scores after they had already been submitted through collaboration um all together skewing the points quite a lot which brought us down um hundreds of points so and then also in the criteria there was like the firm qualifications and then um cost and references and method of approach and those four categories one says firm and ex firm qualifications and experiences down in references page as well in the category it says references and then in small detail it says experiences as well so if we were graded lower on our experiences on the and the first criteria we're also penalized in the last criteria with references and the reason why i know that is because none of our references were called uh and so we wondered why we even got any points because uh there was no feedback from any of our references and they never called anybody's references so they just strictly went off the pretty much the experiences or what they saw on our on our sheet of paper that we turned in and i just don't know how they actually scored our references without calling anybody so we just thought that uh this this bid process is incomplete or the the judging is incomplete and we just wanted to uh see if it could be re-evaluated with uh different uh committee members that are not uh biased have bias opinions and don't have a relationship with the existing contractor and competitor the guy that was one of the guys that had no affiliation with the competitor uh he scored us at like 800 800 900 points and then the other two are scored us like 300 points so there's a huge fluctuation on one guy scores 800 and other guys scores is 100 200 points so we just don't know how what they were looking at to have such a difference in points okay and your time's just about up sir so what we're asking for is that we consider um re-evaluating uh the criteria thank you anything else april it was first you have a question i do on this item i don't know we can't ask them i don't think but what's that i said i don't think we can ask them but i do have a question go ahead first of all i want to say thank you for coming forward i appreciate you guys coming here to let us know about this and i find it incredibly troubling what you're telling us um [Music] i don't know mr city manager uh i don't think we can move this at least in my opinion move this through tonight mayor members of the council i'm i'm sorry if i may um miss camacho is uh here from budget and finance and she oversees procurement she may be able to lend some additional information if if council would like to hear from her you folks can have a seat miss camacho can i say one thing yeah one okay let's let her go ahead and explain and then if necessary but we're gonna we're really strapped tonight we've got a lot of stuff going on have a seat in here miss kamacho good evening mayor members of the council this rfp we received two responses one from custom holiday lights and also from the the vendor that's on the agenda today for approval the custom holiday lights did protest the um the notice of intent to award to the rfp and we did go as you know as part of our procurement process we received the protest and we also went all the way through a hearing in which the hearing officer determined that that the outcome or the notice of intent to award and the basis for the protests by custom holiday lines did not change the outcome of the rfp yes there was a mistake in the waiting of the scoring but that did not change the outcome of the rfp also as far as the references the rfp did not state that the references would be called the references were based on information submitted by the vendors the proposers within the rfp and based on the evaluation committee and also the scores themselves um the the most responsive bidder is the one that's moving forward for council approval today and i do want to say that this did go through the full process all the way up to hearing and the determination was made that the vendor that is being recommended today for council approval is the most responsive and most responsible bidder within this rfp mayor thank you mary i don't know if it's the appropriate time but i would ask consideration to table this rfp until we can have the city manager look into it further city of glendale prides itself in its rfp process and we never want it to be tainted and i'm not saying that it is today there's just too many questions here we have a large agenda tonight and i think it's worthy of asking the council to table us until such time that we can look into it and get the facts making a motion mayor i mean that'll be my motion mayor it had been my intent to move this forward but in the light of the rather disturbing information we received instead of a motion for approval i am making a motion to table the award of rfp 20-07 second okay we're going to have some discussion on this before we go any further uh my question to uh our city manager what is that beans that we don't come back until uh august do you happen to know what the time frame is for the vendor to accomplish what they need to do when they need to start when they need to order their materials mayor members of the council i am not i do know that we we generally begin installation several months out in the summer time so this could have an impact on the ability for the vendor to um uh to get this out my my recommendation if the council um i haven't had a chance to talk to the city attorney's office we've gone through our process so we we trust our procurement process we have a formal appeals process if the council's concerned that we haven't you know been you know haven't done a good review of this my recommendation is to perhaps ask the city attorney's office to look at it or another independent body because i don't know what will change because we did take it all the way through the through the formal written appeal process that we have established in our procurement code i'll get back to you as quickly as possible in terms of the potential impact on being able to install the lighting if i recall generally august is the kickoff date for lighting installation i think our next meeting is august 11th and my concern is i know that they have to order materials or and so i don't i don't know if that's going to screw things up or not or how that even affects the bid if it's put off and we can't give enough time does that make the price go up i don't know so i i'd like the council to consider that before we do any actions uh if nothing else if if we move this and we find there's discrepancies we can always rescind it too so my emotion still stands and that's one second thank you um does anybody know how long uh christmas light what is it called the name of the company christmas light decorations how long they've had the contract with the city how long okay i i'm not willing to move forward on this this evening okay so we had a motion to table from council member clark we had a second any other discussion okay go ahead i'd like to hear from the attorney mr bailey mayor mr hugh said he'd like to hear from our attorney justin you might do a review of the process mike oh well mayor council your code provides for in the event that there is a discrepancy that there is the opportunity for all parties involved to appeal that to a hearing officer and that has gone through that process so we can look into that however we rely upon that appeals process uh in in regarding these issues and if there's not an issue with regards to that appeal we'll bring it forward to you and that's where we're at right now so we can we can look through that but to the extent we look through that we're going to be looking at an appeals process in addition to an rfp noting that my recommendation would be is not to reject the contract before you it would be to continue it and give us that opportunity and we can answer those questions oh and just really quickly noting because i don't know the answer and i would defer to ms camacho who was the hearing officer on this mayor members of the council i was the hearing officer as the procurement as the materials manager and i would like to say that the attorney's office was involved in the process they represented the city on behalf of for this rfp so we did have our city attorney look into this and i would like to clarify that the basis of the protest was based on the references and the scoring the information that custom holiday lights mentioned today about a panel member affiliated with the other vendor that's new to me that's not something that they had raised before it's something it's a new thing that was not part of their protest they did not mention that in the protest letter so it is something that is new to me too mayor thank you mayor let me just ask a question and i got a couple comments question is it was rate the concern was raised earlier that references weren't called but references are a a significant amount of points is that a fact may or may i don't have the weighting of the um the rfp in front of me but i can just briefly take a look 20 is what they said mayor the applicant has it if you don't have it mr bailey my recommendation would be this time if you have the questions to continue or table the item and we'll bring it back noting that there can be an impact to this procurement with regards to cost and pricing based on the timeliness just so you're aware and i just want to make sure you're aware of that i'm not i'm saying mr bailey i'm i'm very aware if if if for the betterment of this city and for our integrity if it means our holiday lights go up later to do the right thing then i'm willing to do the right thing and i'm with miss clark here i'm not willing to budge um so i'd like to hear the answer to my question and then i i feel it's worth our integrity to look into it and if it's so be it if it's correct the way it stands then then we'll hear that but i'd like to hear the answer mayor members of the council references were 20 so then you didn't call the references and so therefore they were 20 points below so that already is a discrepancy worthy of of tabling this so that's that's where i stand thank you mayor that's all i was going to say mayor is how can you give weight of 20 for references and not check the references i don't understand if you're not interested in checking the references why would you make the value of the references such a highly 20 percent of of the value so i mean that doesn't make a lot of sense to me i mean when you if you're valuing the references that much you would think you would follow through and check the references so i'm i'm i'm absolutely willing to table this for the for tonight and get back to it another time mayor members of the council as i stated earlier it was not required within the rfp to call the references the references were was based on previous work that they've done in the past so there were pictures of and um other documentation that were provided that could have served as a reference before this rfp so the other vendor provided pictures and all sorts of different materials that served as their reference and so did custom holiday lights we did not call references for either vendor it was based on the material that they provided for the rfp mayor thank you i i appreciate that miss camacho but again um without talking to people who had used these companies previously and relying only upon photographs does not seem to be appropriate to me when i think of references and submitting references it's because i assume those references are going to be called and asked about my performance i i think there is another issue too that i would ask that management senior management take a look at and that is the idea of i believe i we were told that you are in charge of the procurement process ms camacho is that correct mayor members of the council yes i oversee the procurement division and i'm also designated as the materials manager on behalf of the city and that is admirable but i don't think the person who is in charge of the department is necessarily the appropriate person to be a hearing officer on a conflict that may occur within processes in that department so i would ask respectfully that senior management take a look at that practice it may be something that you may want to consider revising but my motion stands i still ask that this be tabled mayor yeah mr phelps so when you when you take your action if you could be somewhat clear as to what your expectation is there's a couple different options you can ask um you could ask the city manager's office to go back and to review all of the steps of the procurement and review the the appeal process and to look at it and we could we can do that typically if there is a discrepancy in an rfp or whether it comes into question then it would also be an option could be to re-bid this out and and typically from posting and going through notification and all the steps that we have in our code you know that would probably push it a little bit farther down the road but if you want that to happen we can also go through and do that i want to be clear just on one thing that was referenced when they said that one of the three scorers did not have a relationship but that two did the relationship that was referenced comes because the vendor that is being proposed to be award had worked with the city of glendale and with our and with our special events team for 19 years so the the relationship was just from the pure fact that the uh that they had worked with the prior vendor there is no relationship in terms of um you know social relationship family relationship business relationship it's just the fact that when you say they have do they know that party they worked with them for the last 19 years you can imagine working with any vendor you you would say then there is a relationship there so just make sure if you'll just make sure you give me the the clear direction as to what um what you uh what your expectation is and we'll certainly move forward mayor since i made the motion i would offer to accept the offer both offers of the city manager one is to review the process and the second one is to perhaps put it or to put it out for re-bid members council just my concern is that the vendors have to order their material quite a bit in advance so it's not like they can go down to a local warehouse you know in early august and because the amount of lights it's a pretty it's a pretty substantial order so i just want to i just want to make notice that it could it could impact on that ability in terms of what's provided but again we will do whatever the council decides so i i will um a little second councilmember clark's uh two requests i i'm willing to and i'll answer to my constituency here because downtown's in my district um i'm willing to answer to our to my constituents that we didn't have the lights this year because of a process that may not have been 100 percent uh secondly um and there's nothing wrong with this but to some degree there is the the the individuals who are being awarded tonight have had 20 almost 20 years to perfect a process that others may not have had an opportunity to perfect there's nothing wrong with perfecting the process but frankly they've had they've done this for 20 years they know exactly what's going to happen they know exactly how to close this deal um so um i i'm i'm with miss clark and i'm willing to uh some i'll do the two that she asked and i'm willing to not have holiday lights this year if it means that the process was wrong uh thank you i wondered if uh councilmember dumman and uh councilmember clark would be i'd rather the city attorney investigate rather than the city manager's office um the procurement process it's already been through the city manager side of the house so i don't know whether you'd be agreeable to that as for the investigate of that part of the process uh mayor i would um the city attorney is our employee and uh well so i was the city manager it's max and it's really but but i i think probably i would be more comfortable if it were the process were investigated by the city attorney's office and any recommendations for improvement of that process be made to the city manager mayor miss camacho did did custom holiday custom lights the the individuals that have come and spoke to us tonight did they receive all 20 points or 20 i guess 20 points available for references or did they receive less than that mayor members of the council so the references were weighted at 20 for a total of 200 points um the vendor that's being moved forward for um approval today received 200 points and custom holiday lights received 117 points so the difference is only three points even if we would give both of them 200 points the total out the outcome of the um the rfp would not would not change it would still be what is being recommended today uh mayor if i could continue miss camacho i may have misheard you the the your recommended um better received all 200 points correct holiday custom lights received 117 or 1070 117 117 okay so that's a difference of 83 of just three points so the total points is 200 for references they received 100 oh sorry yeah you're right 83 points 83 points um that's i don't understand how personally how they can be penalized at all if if there was no checking into references and and i get that it doesn't say we'll actually call but it certainly implies that i think i've got i've got reservations about this i'm i realize that going back out to bid there may still only be the same two bidders that we have here today um but uh if we i think we can afford to wait until our first meeting in august and see what has developed in the meantime and uh um and still be able to pull this event off i don't i'm very reluctant to not have the event um but i think we can accomplish both table this so i would support tabling this now having the city attorney's office look into it for us and give us a report and we can readdress this at our first meeting in august okay that concludes the conversation okay you've heard the motion to table uh all in favor motion to the table but i i any opposed nay okay so that item is tabled moving on to item

going to be heard before item 42. so to be clear we're going to hear item 43 first and then we will hear item 42. would you introduce that please item 43 ordinance number zero twos ordinance number oh 20-40 an ordinance of the council of the city of glendale maricopa county arizona extending and increasing the corporate limits of the city of glendale maricopa county state of arizona pursuant to the provisions of title ix chapter 4 section 9-471 arizona revised statutes and its amendments by annexing certain territory located west of the city of glendale consisting of approximately 103.12 acres at the northeast corner of glendale avenue and cotton lane to be known as annexation area number 219 amending the zoning map providing for an effective date and directing the city clerk to record a certified copy of the ordinance mayor members of the council here to provide staff report is interim development services director lisa collins thank you mr phelps thank you mayor and members of the council so glendale 303 is a request for the annexation of an219 and the vicinity map shows the location of that west of the loop 303 so the previous council actions on this case occurred on april 28th and that was a pre-annexation development agreement and that allowed the property owner to move forward on their infrastructure needs on june 9th you were required to hold a public hearing on a blank petition and you did that which allows us to move forward with the adoption this evening so again glendale 303 annexationary is 103 acres it's located west of the loop 303 north of glendale avenue and east of cotton lane shown in brown on your slide so recent annexations that have taken place are shown on this slide and the ones in yellow are complete and again we're looking at glendale 303 this evening this is a closer look of the area and glendale 303 is in red so this is a slide indicating the noise contours and the noise contours dictate the type of land use that is allowed per state statute for military airport compatibility the vicinity ariel shows that to the north and the west is maricopa county agricultural land vacant land and residential south of this is the city of glendale and east of this is the loop 303. so our general plan for the city of glendale does show this as a mixed-use parcel so the glendale 303 would come into the city under that zoning designation because the existing zone in the county is a combination of industrial and commercial so the like zoning for the city of glendale would be a pad that's how we accomplish a mixture of uses so the land use assumptions for this are 1.5 million square feet of light industrial and when we look at the range of fiscal impacts and assumptions the lowest range of course is a shell building mid-range would be warehousing and the highest revenue would be manufacturing the assumption here is that this will be 50 percent warehousing and 50 percent manufacturing so as you can see from the slide here it does show that there's an annual net benefit when you blend those averages of three hundred and forty thousand dollars a year the one-time revenues which are calculated through the construction sales tax and permit fees are 5.95 million dollars those are one time so again this has been through the annexation process the blank petition was filed you did hold a public hearing as required on june 9th and the property owner signatures were acquired so the council is able to hear this this evening for the adoption of the annexation and actually the public hearing already took place so you're just actually having a hearing on this and if the annexation is approved the site will be added into the city of glendale in 30 days and with that i'm happy to answer any questions you may have all right questions from the council hearing none uh and again this is item 43. i have uh one card uh that does not wish to speak and that would be miss warren um so with that said she is opposed mayor yes i have a question we're we're discussing glendale 303 and on my packet it says this is item 44. we're doing item 43. item number 43. well my paper my pages must be misnumbered thank you mayor okay that's the only speaker card i had are any questions from the council hearing none can i get a motion on item 43 ordinance 020-40 yes mayor i move reapprove ordinance 20-40 second i have a motion from councilmember hughes second councilmember tom witchoff to approve the recommended action any discussion on the motion hearing none a roll call vote councilmember obama how do you vote aye council member clark how do you vote council member clark how do you vote aye council member hugh how do you vote hi councilmember tom trump how do you vote aye councilmember turner how do you vote hi vice mayor how do you vote hi chair of outside that carries unanimous could we introduce now item 42 4 2. item 42 ordinance number 0 20-39 an ordinance of the council of the city of glendale maricopa county arizona extending and increasing the corporate limits of the city of glendale maricopa county state of arizona pursuant to the provisions of title nine chapter four section 9-4-1 4-7-1 arizona revised statutes and its amendments by annexing certain territory located at the northeast corner of north 159th avenue and camelback road consisting of approximately 73 acres at the northeast corner of north 159th avenue and camelback road and to be known as annexation area number 215 amending the zoning map providing for an effective date and directing the city clerk to record a certified copy of the ordinance mayor members of council again here's a make staff report is lisa collins from development services thank you mr phelp mayor and members of the council alsup 303 industrial park is before you this evening for the annexation adoption and for the planned area development the zoning component of this so we'll walk through both of those again here this is on the vicinity map it is in the southwestern portion of our city the annexation adoption again is an215 and the planned area development zoning case is zon2008 so again the annexation is for 73 acres and you did see this at a previous workshop on march 24th this was introduced within industrial and retail uses you provided us consensus to move forward with the annexation and so then you held a public hearing on a blank petition on may 12th which leads us to the adoption of this property this evening so again the proposed land use is on 73 acres it is compatible with luke air force base and the city of glendale general plan they're anticipating industrial manufacturing warehousing distribution and e-commerce so the location on the aerial shows this north is maricopa county agricultural vacant west is also maricopa county agricultural vacant south is the city of goodyear which is agricultural vacant and then east is maricopa county the same agricultural bacon so again we've had several annexations in uh process and this graphic shows that the alsup 303 is highlighted in green showing a close-up of the loop 303 and the level of activity there and again this slide shows the noise contours for the area and the noise contours again dictate the type of land use that is allowed per state statute that regulates land uses around military bases to ensure compatibility so as you can see also 303 is within the 70 noise contours which allows the types of uses that are being proposed but specifically not residential uses so the land use again is loop compatible shown on our general plan the current maricopa county zoning is ru 43 with the loop compatible overlay so this would come into the city of glendale as residential rr 43 and again in order to conform to our general plan and meet the requirements of the state statute there will be a rezoning case that will follow this so the land use assumptions are warehousing and manufacturing the planning commission did hear the zoning action the pad and they did approve that on june the 4th so the range of fiscal impacts for this case are this similar shell building has the lowest warehouse mid-range in manufacturing the highest again the assumption is there will be fifty percent warehousing and fifty percent manufacturing so the annual net benefit when you blend those two averages is two hundred and forty thousand dollars a year the one-time revenue from construction sales tax and permit fees is 4 million so as required by state statute the blank petition was filed on april 16th which allowed you to have a public hearing on that blank petition on may 12th you did that so you satisfied that requirement that allowed the property owners to get signatures on the petition and so that brings us to the hearing this evening and again the public hearing portion was taken care of so we are just having a hearing at our meeting tonight on june 23rd once this is accepted by the council the land will be added into the city of glendale 30 days later so the second part of this is the alsup 303 industrial zoning case 2008 and that is item 44 on your agenda so my presentation is covering items 42 and 44. so this is for a planned area development and again this would re-zone from the ru-43 that i just mentioned that it's coming into the city under that zoning to p.a.d planned area development which would allow the construction of a 1.3 million square feet of industrial building the site plan options are shown there this could be two buildings one building these are just some conceptuals and it will be determined specifically when they go through site plan approval so there was a public notification 300 foot notification letters were mailed out the hearing was posted the hearing was also advertised and cards were sent when the staff looked at this we determined that the proposed use is consistent with the general plan the city departments have reviewed the proposal and it's compatible with other pads in the area and the loop 303 development so the recommendation is approval and it must be in conformance i'll scan through these in conformance with the pad that was submitted march the dated march 3rd and a traffic impact study is going to be required at the time of design review and site plan approval and due to the proximity of luke air force base uh an faa obstruction evaluation uh is required and was provided and site plan approval is required for all development on this site and with that i'm happy to answer any questions you may have all right thank you councilmembers any questions being none okay i do have a speaker card and we are doing item 42 right now i do have a speaker card b sadler is opposed and does not wish to speak i do have angela warren on item 42 as opposed she does not wish

identify yourself the city you live in and then you have three minutes okay sure i'm gloria williamson i live in lushfield park and i'm just on the i guess number 42 and 44 is what you all talk about we're talking about 42 right now on 42 okay same thing i just want to make sure that you all take in consideration about the traffic that will be coming increased from calm back at the count back in cerebral area because that area is very very dangerous the intersection of cal back and cerebral there was numerous times when vehicles would just run that stop sign at on calm back east and westbound so i just want you all to take in consideration as a two-lane forward and just a four-way stop sign okay thank you okay don't don't don't get too far away we're going to be item 44 next so just stay in the hallway okay you need to speak on item 44 okay so you don't need to speak okay very good thank you okay with that uh can i get a motion for item 42 yes mayor i move we pass an adopt ordinance number zero 20-39 second we have emotional council member clark the sacramento councilmember thomas for the recommended action any discussion on the motion mayor mr milner uh yes uh just in response to the resident who was talking about the roads lisa or someone maybe can tell us what's the development going to happen my understanding there's going to be quite a bit of industrial happening there what will be happening to the road infrastructure thank you mr mayor uh vice mayor malnar the traffic impact study is going to indicate the level of improvements but those roads will all be improved perhaps to five lanes as much as five lanes but they will definitely be improved before before any cfo any certificate of occupancy is issued okay thank you mayor yes um to to tag on to that if if the trap with five lanes obviously there need to be a signal there should the lady mentioned that there was uh just a four-way stop but i mean if the traffic study warrants it would the would there have to be a signal there i'm not able to hear you i'm sorry i'll take this off if the traffic study won she's in another conversation i'm talking to lisa she's in a sidebar right now oh all right well then i'll just just hold on a second i can't see what she's doing all right miss collins i apologize mr mayor chuff has a question for you yes thank you i said you said that the um the traffic the roadways would be widened possibly five lanes and in the event that the traffic study warrants that that much that many lanes there would be probably need to be a signal there rather than a stop sign i can't imagine that many lanes going both ways and a four-way stop right thank you mr mayor council member tommel chop yes that's the point of the traffic study and the traffic analysis to make that determination and i do want to clarify i stated that there would be no cbo's in until the roadways improved this property owner is required to improve the roadway in front of their property we are working in conjunction with other jurisdictions regarding the entire camelback road length so we'll be working with them to move this development forward thank you there so um thank you mayor so that is part of the of the pad yes okay all right thank you okay so i had a motion council member clark i had a second council member tom and schaff we had discussion uh no other discussion we'll do a roll

boat's eye that motion does carry unanimous moving on to item 45 can you please introduce that item 45 ordinance number oh 20-42 an ordinance of the council of the city of glendale maricopa county arizona rezoning property located at the northeast corner and southeast corner of glendale avenue and state route 303 and northeast corner of bethany home road in state route 303 from ru43 rural 43 and m1 light industrial to pad planned area development for a development plan entitled park 303 amending the zoning map providing for an effective date and directing the city clerk to record a certified copy of the ordinance mayor members of the council here to provide staff report is interim development services director lisa collins thank you mr phelps mayor members of the council park 303 is a planned area development request zoning case number 209. so this is the vicinity map showing the location of that property and again i'm gonna change this i apologize i'm having technical difficulties i apologize i was having technical difficulties again this is the park 303 zoning case and it is 340 acres located along the east side of the loop 303 the north and south side of glendale avenue and there is a single parcel in the middle along maryland so the council did previously see this in your workshop on march 24th and that was part of the annexation action it was introduced and the council did provide us consensus to move forward on may 12th we presented a blank petition and you held a public hearing on that as required and the council approved the annexation on may 26th so that allows us to move forward with the public hearing for the planned area development zon 209 part 303 so again this slide shows the area in greater detail again it is 340 acres and it is along the east side of the loop 303 north and south of glendale avenue and a portion along maryland avenue so this rezoning request again is for 340 acres approximately from rr45 which is a rural designation to m1 light industrial and that is those are the land uses that are within the pads so the zoning classification is actually pad very similar to our industrial designations so again the recent development in the area shows part 303 lighted up and in yellow because the annexation has already occurred here's the nearby development that you are familiar with along the loop 303 and the noise contours again those designate the type of land uses that are allowed in this area so the part 303 has some areas outside of the noise contours and some within the 65 and 70 ldn which restrict the uses so the city's general plan does show this as loop compatible land uses and mixed use the land use assumptions for this are 4 million square feet of light industrial and park 303 planned area development was heard by the planning commission and approved on june 4th so the range of fiscal impacts once again are the lowest range revenues as a shell building mid-range warehouse highest range manufacturing and the assumption again is there'll be fifty percent warehousing and fifty percent manufacturing for a blended net annual average of eight hundred and sixty thousand dollars the one-time revenues from this with the construction sales tax and permit fees is 15.8 million so again here's a site plan that just shows how the building configurations could occur on each one of the parcels and again this will go through our design review and site plan approval for specific review of the details there were notices mailed to property owners there was a virtual neighborhood meeting held the site was posted and there were no comments received we find that the proposed amendment is consistent with the voter approved general plan the proposal will be compatible with pads as noted in the area and the recommendation is for approval in accordance with the pad that was submitted on june 1st and there are some requirements for the developer to provide right-of-way along lindel avenue bethany home and cerebral roads and they will be in compliance with our city standards and again all of that's checked at the site plan review stage and this deals uh more with the the roadways and the development of those roadways there will be some private roadways and those will have cross-access improvements as well and again there is an evaluation that was required and has taken place the last stipulation deals with billboards and our ordinance currently does not allow a pad to amend that portion of the ordinance to allow billboards but we recognize that that's a request and as part of the p.a.d and the city council will be considering an amendment to our zoning ordinance in the beginning of 2021 it's scheduled for and if you amend your ordinance to allow this as proposed in their pad then they would be allowed to do this and they wouldn't need to come back through a public hearing so that's in essence what that condition says and again design review approval is required for all site development and with that i'm happy to answer any questions you may have council members any questions hearing none public karen is now open on item number 45. i do have a couple a few cards on 45. uh jay nicholson i have a jay nicholson is what it looks like from 181st avenue and waddell okay i also have a judy meyer who is opposed that does not wish to speak i have a angela warren who does not wish to speak that is opposed and we're going to give another few seconds here for jay nicholson uh if you're in the audience you need to come in we're going to move on okay we're moving on uh he was opposed to it uh he said that he did not wish to speak and then he circled that he didn't wish to speak so with that we're going to go ahead and move on um can i get a motion on ordinance 0 2 0-4-2 yes mayor a movie adopt ordinance 0-2-0-4-2 target i have motion council member tom schoff the second council member hugh to approve the recommended action any discussion on the motion hearing none roll call vote council member obama how do you vote aye council member clerk how do you vote hi council member hugh how do you vote hi councilmember tomas how do you vote hi councilmember turner how do you vote hi vice mayor how do you vote hi chair votes eye that motion does carry can we uh introduce item 46 please item 46 ordinance number uh 0 20-43 an ordinance of the council of the city of glendale maricopa county arizona rezoning property located at 7405 north new river road from a1 agricultural to m1 light industrial amending the zoning map providing for an effective date and directing the city clerk to record a certified copy of the ordinance mayor members of council again here to do staff report is lisa collins interim development services director thank you mr phelps mayor members of the council the new river road truck parking 20-10 yeah hold on a minute gentlemen if we don't have seats available in here you'll need to wait next door we won't have to maintain social distancing back in the back they just walked in we do have one chair in here if somebody like sitting with that one chair all right go ahead thank you mr mayor so this property is located within um glen harbour uh portion of the city you can see in conjunction with city hall it's west of that area so the zoning request is for 9.49 acres it's currently zoned a1 and the request is rezoning to m1 that would allow truck parking so our general plan does show this as business park and this would be con use consistent with that the aerial shows two uh parcels on that this request shows a site plan that could use one parcel or could use two they have an option so again this is at glen harbour and as shown in the graphic and the property is currently zoned a1 so this shows the location of new river road on the the left and northern portion of the site plane so that's site plan a that could include both parcels site plan b shows just using one of the parcels so there was a notice mailed out april 20th to property owners the site was advertised and posted and hearing notices were mailed we received no comments so our findings are that the proposed zoning change is consistent with the objectives of the general plan and the proposal will can be compatible with other land uses in glen harbor business park and i'll also note that this will help to to clean up the site and bring it into into compliance looking at paving and making sure that our public safety and fire can access the site so this improvement will be good for the area so the recommendations are design review and we're requiring that that happen within 18 months and that the new river right-of-way requirements will be in accordance with the city of glendale and again that appropriate fire protection and appropriate access will be provided and depending on the proposed uses again in the development of the parcels if there were buildings constructed on there they'd obviously need to do more improvements but at this point as we understand it they're just looking at truck parking so with that i'm happy to answer any questions you may have all right thank you questions yes mayor ready two first one i think you mentioned that there would be a sight wall surrounding this property is that correct mr mayor uh council member clark that's correct there will be some type of screening required that would be very nice secondly new river road is a mess and it is going to continue to support trump traffic who is going to bring new river road up to some kind of standard thank you mr mayor council member clark if both parcels that i showed on the graphic were were developed as part of this project then this applicant would need to make that road suitable for truck traffic on the other hand if they just do the one parcel they would be accessing through the site that they currently own so the road may be improved if they use it if they don't then we'll have to look at a later date improvements to the road and developments down the road would be required to improve it i'm not sure i understand i understood that if both parcels have developed the applicant will have to improve new river road i'm not sure i understood the second part where if only one parcel is developed they will have to use their site access i'm not sure what that means so in this graphic where it shows option b the current the per people that own the property to the north are looking to acquire this so that they can park their trucks that are used in their on their site so if they just improved the parcel shown in option b they would access through their own site and they wouldn't be using new river road okay uh all right i still leaves questions for me i mean i think it's kind of iffy um in regard to the road situation but but i guess i'll follow up at a later time thank you okay item 46 i have miss warren is opposed does not wish to speak that's the only speaker card i had on that if there's no other speaker cards public hearing is now closed can i get a motion on ordnance 020-43 item number 46 please mayor i move we pass and adopt ordinance 0 20-43 and wave reading beyond the title second motion from mr turner second councilmember clark to further recommended action any discussion on the motion this counts no she i just i made the second you made a second two oh okay i didn't hear you i just heard me never mind we sound alike okay all right so we have that done uh any discussion on emotion hearing none roll call vote councilmember obama how do you vote hi announcement clark how do you vote hi councilmember hugh how do you vote hi house member tommy trump how do you vote hi councilmember turner how do you vote hi vice mayor how do you vote hi chair votes eye that motion carriage unanimous can you introduce item 47 please item 47 ordinance number o20-45 an ordinance of the council of the city of glendale maricopa county arizona rezoning property located at the northeast corner of ceraval avenue and maryland avenue from a1 agricultural to pad planned area development for a development plan entitled west 303 crossing amending the zoning map providing for an effective date and directing the city clerk to record a certified copy of the ordinance mayor members of the council here to provide staff reporters lisa collins development services director thank you mr phelp mayor and members of the council so this is west 303 crossing z-o-n 1914 and you've seen this case before but this is a request to make a modification to one of the stipulations to provide the access that's necessary in the area so again the vicinity map shows the location of this and this is along the loop 303 again the request is to amend the stipulation of approval for zon 1914 and again it will clarify requirements associated to the private access development this was heard by the planning commission on june 4th and was approved so the general plan in this area does show this is loop compatible and there's no request to amend the general plan no request for zoning this is simply a request to amend the condition of approval and again this is location aerial photo showing where this is located along cereville and this is these are the issues the ocotillo alignment and the maryland alignment so that properties adjacent to this can access the road and but as a private roadway so again this was published in the glendale star this was mailed to adjacent property owners the site was also posted and we had no comments so again the request is to change stipulation number four and the new language is shown on your screen and again it gives access to maryland avenue through a private roadway and the alignment would be approved on the final plat this is also requiring a sidewalk because we're concerned about people being able to walk in the area so also this will conform with what you previously approved and this will just be a change to that condition number four so with that i'm happy to answer any questions you may have questions from the council seeing none public hearing is now open on item number 47. i have one speaker card miss warren again is opposed but does not need to speak i have no other speaker cards can i get a motion on the ordinance yes ma'am i move timeout no public hearing is now closed okay now go ahead yes thank you mayor i move we approve ordinance number 20-45 second okay i have multiple council members council member tom chomp to approve the recommended action is any discussion on the motion hearing none roll call vote councilmember odama how do you vote council member clark is not present uh we're gonna pass her and hopefully she'll be back council member hugh how do you vote aye councilmember tomlinshop how do you vote hi councilmember turner how do you vote hi vice mayor how do you vote hi councilmember clark okay is not absent charity votes eye that motion does carry item number 48 is not going to be heard tonight it'll be heard at the august 11th meeting mr bailey do we need to have a motion on the continuance mayor and council no action will be necessary it was not properly noticed it will be noticed appropriately for the upcoming meeting so we can move on to number 49 thank you thank you okay so for number 48 uh we did have a speaker card that he did not wish to speak he was opposed and that was mike i believe it's pronounced guernsey i believe with that said if we could go ahead and go to item number 49 please item 49 ordinance number o 20-38 an ordinance of the council of the city of glendale maricopa county arizona extending and increasing the corporate limits of the city of glendale maricopa county state of arizona pursuant to the provisions of title 9 chapter 4 section 9-471 arizona revised statutes and its amendments by annexing certain territory located at the northeast corner of camelback road and citrus road of the city of glendale consisting of approximately 865 acres and to be known as annexation area number 213 amending the zoning map providing for an effective date and directing the city clerk to record a certified copy of the ordinance mayor members of the council here provide staff report again is lisa collins interim development services director thank you mr phelp mayor members of the council so alan ranches is before you this evening for approval adoption of their annexation also for general plan amendments and for zoning actions so we'll walk through these one at a time so the property is located on camelback road to the south bethany home to the north and citrus road to the west and the loop 303 to the east so again this has four components to it and the first one that we'll look at is the annexation so again the annexation is for 865 acres and you did see this at your council workshop on march 24th where it was introduced for warehousing and distribution uses and residential there was a council consensus to move forward with the process so on may 12th a blank petition public hearing was held by the council which allows us to consider the adoption this evening so the proposed land uses on the 865 acres are compatible with the luke air force base and the city of glendale general plan 2040. and they're requesting industrial manufacturing and residential so this slide in blue shows the actual location of the property to the north is maricopa county to the west is maricopa county south is goodyear and the east again is loop 303 so when we look at recent annexations in the area this shows the magnitude of what's going on the next slide shows a close-up of the loop 303 which is contains a lot of the activity that's occurring in the city now so again the noise contours dictate the type of land uses and in this case there's one extra component because there is residential being requested and there's the graduated density concept and that regulates the maximum amount of density that would be allowed per the state statute regulating military land uses and residential so this is a another slide illustrating that graduated density concept that shows you how the numbers of units are derived and the maximum is 819 units that is not being proposed but that's the maximum that would be supported and would be considered to not be in conflict with the surrounding uses so the glendale envision 2040 general plan does show this as loot compatible and does allow again for residential through that graduated density concept and again the maximum number of units there would be allowed would be 819. so when we look at the existing and like zoning for this property this property was rezoned in maricopa county in 2016 so there is residential density that exists and loot compatible land uses so when this comes into the city it will also have those residential densities and loot compatible so when we look at the land use assumptions for this property we know there's proposed to have nine million square feet of warehousing in manufacturing and residential so the range of fiscal impacts and assumptions were derived based on 50 warehousing 50 manufacturing and the residential component so the annual net benefit would be 1.9 million to 2 million and there is that variation because of the street configurations private versus public streets and it's our understanding that a majority of the streets will be private with a public road running through one time revenues for this property when we add in construction sales tax and permit fees is 52.3 million so again we're still in the annexation process and required by state statute the blank petition was filed you did hold your public hearing as required the property owner signatures were obtained which allows you to consider the annexation of allen ranches this evening and by approving this annexation the site would be added into the city of glendale 30 days later so the next two components of this presentation are the gpas the general plan amendments and the pad the planned area development so the minor general plan amendments do two things they reduce the area for residential development and they increase the area for industrial uses and the planned area development zoning is for the entire property so if we look first at gpa 2004 that's for 117 acres and that is a request to rezone from low density residential to light industrial and again that would allow for the increase in the industrial development and the second general plan amendment is for 250 acres to rezone to amend the general plan pardon me from low density residential to medium density residential and the range for the medium density residential is 2.5 to 3.5 and the proposal is for 3.0 and again the zoning action would re-zone the entire parcel from ru-43 to p-80 to allow the land uses that i just described so the development plan for allen ranches again shows the gpa 2005 and that is the residential portion and then the portion to the east of that is gpa 2004 and that area would be included in the industrial portion so again the current zoning for maricopa county is a series of residential land uses and industrial so the next slide shows what's really happening in the area and and the reason for the staff's recommendation of support of this case the current surrounding county zoning if you look is just west of citrus road so the area between citrus road and beardsley canal is the the county from citrus road east to the loop 303 in the dotted area that's the allen ranch's proposed zoning and if you look at the types of land uses that are currently being developed in the county there's r2 zoning that goes down lot sizes that could go down to 4 000 square feet and then there's also some r2 zoning that has 2 500 square foot lots that are the build to rent type of properties so what's being proposed is is in essence a mirror image of what's going on in the county right now and those developments are under construction the one just south of canyon view high school is a beazer homes development and the development that's being proposed on allen ranches is for the most part larger than those lots and is consistent in form with what's been approved and what is going on in the county so the area of the surrounding areas also shows those areas and shows the level of development so there is some vacant land within the areas west of citrus road and again those areas west of perryville and south of canyon view high school is the subdivision that is currently under development so those are really the kinds of developments and housing products that are currently being developed in the area so again this is the residential site plan that is being proposed and it's 760 lots now the applicant did have neighborhood meetings they had virtual meetings of course because that's all we can do right now and they did come in with a greater number of lots so i have some notes here and i want to make sure that that you know what was actually if i go through the numbers so again the graduated density allows 819 lots or no more than 819 lots the original proposal on this case was for 784 lots there was a neighborhood meeting there were some concerns expressed by the neighbors and so the application was amended to 760 lots and another virtual meeting was held in order to present that to the neighborhood these are some of the conceptual site amenities that have been provided and i believe there's approximately 20 of the site in open space so this shows some of those amenities and then there's also trails and such to connect these so again there were notices mailed out there was a virtual meeting like i uh stated and then there was another one held to follow up with the neighborhood on some of the changes that have been made so this was advertised notices were mailed the site was posted and our findings are that this is consistent with the development objectives of the general plan it's compatible with other existing and planned development in the area as i showed you with the county zoning and development that's currently occurring and the planning commission on june 4th did recommend approval of the zoning case and the general plan amendment for the industrial they did recommend denial of the gpa 2005. so with that we are recommending approval of the annexation and approval of the general plan amendment 2004 and general plan amendment 2005 and z-o-n-2006 the development would be required to be in substantial conformance with the pad that was submitted and dated may 8. the property owner will be submitting a prop 207 waiver and that will be recorded prior to the preliminary plat site plan approval excuse me and then we have the same condition regarding the billboards this applicant too has requested to have billboards in their pad and while we can't allow that right now we do acknowledge that if our ordinance changes at a later date that they would be able to construct those billboards and with that i'm happy to answer any questions you may have council members any questions and none probably karen is now open on item number 49. i have one person wishing to speak gary blanding or blendo blendino gary blandino okay while we're waiting for him brian borges does not wish to speak as opposed judy apparently his wife i believe it's pronounced burgess does not wish to speak as opposed miss warren is opposed does not wish to speak uh janet delong is opposed does not wish to speak veronica sadler does not wish to speak in his opposed again gary landino is that you sir okay you have three minutes sir if you would state your name the city you live in gary and we're talking about item 49. yes sir yuri blandino uh 5707 north 179th drive raise a mic up just a little bit it is 5707 north 179th drive uh litchfield park uh i've i've submitted letters to you explaining what has happened since this developer has decided to try to develop this area we had a compatible agreement with them in 2016 and then they pulled it out on out from under on us and our concerns are about this high density development and even your own pada states that to the extent available in the city zoning and entitlements including the use of closest and comp compatible zoning and entitlements the city shall recognize maricopa zoning this would mean that they shouldn't really go below the r18 standards that were established when they made the agreement with maricopa county not only did they pull out the r18 and our 10 lots they added our 6 and r4 lots and if that wasn't enough they they're asking for an rupd in this to shrink the r18 lots to 7 500 square feet and the r16 lots to 5700 square feet and i know the planning board your own planning board rejected this proposal and i know i and i've witnessed the many of you thankfully on the council are questioning the value of this residential island that's being stuck out there and how you're going to deal with this uh and i remember from all the way from march 24th that the council has asked for repeatedly for fiscal delineation about the impact of the residential portion and i haven't seen any public statements on that and the last meeting you showed on your slides the same slide that was the old slide approved by maricopa county and the council was confused because they were asking where's the r4 development coming in on this the residents writing in knew about this in advance and i was stunned that the council wasn't aware of this information and when the city manager said on march 24th that we need to just pull this in and work through the problems and make it the best we can that to me is not a model for city planning the the i would ask that the the council do the responsible thing in this development case and reject this annexation of the residential portion they've been very duplicitous to the residents in the area and i don't know if that is a good sign to you but it certainly is not a good sign to us and i would hope that you would 15 seconds i would hope that you would mirror the decision of the planning board thank you thank you sir thank you okay brian borges uh you initially said you did not want to speak now you do want to speak you have three minutes sir uh sit for the record state your name yes i don't need your address just the city you live in yes sir um i just wanted to address the um the points that were given earlier i wasn't going to speak but after i heard some of them i felt obligated to stand here before you that the overwhelming community response to this planning has been negative we quite frankly we feel like the city of glendale is coming right up into our neighborhoods the lots generally are one plus acre lots and now you're wanting to put 760 homes on 250 acres i just wanted to state for the record that it is not welcomed by the overwhelming majority of people that live out there thank you thank you sir okay folks you're gonna have to keep it down or we're gonna clear the room we're not gonna allow that thank you mr thorpe you're up can everyone hear me okay we can hear you fine sir uh thanks for the opportunity to come and talk to the council and mayor today um look at we're all married county maricopa county citizens right so i think we need to remember that because you're going to be our neighbors residents in glendale when they move into allen ranch they're going to be our neighbors and i live right across citrus and russell ranch but we're all marathonic maricopa county residents so we're going to all have to live together and this plan is not a good plan and i was preceded by other people here they said the same thing i want to make a couple of things clear your planning commission denied this on the residential area are you going to go against your planning commission that's a question for all of you to answer today next this could all be resolved if the industrial part of the allen ranch were east of citrus or east of cotton lane and not west of cotton lane then that way the acreage include increases the residential lots can increase okay and they will much more being they will be uh comparable to the surrounding clearwater farms and russell ranch communities north and west respectively russell ranch lots are one-third of an acre to an acre clearwater farms are one to five acres these lots are four thousand at a minimum and could be two stories here are the facts the pet is not consistent with what was negotiated with with maricopa county in 2016. you heard that twice tonight there was no good faith negotiation between the neighborhoods and the developers representatives many questions were unanswered relocating the industrial parcel as i said east of cotton lane would solve a lot of the problems that we're talking about here at allen ranch so why are the residents complaining lot size 4 000 square feet overwhelming community opposition um we want we understand that there's development in allen ranch but it needs to be comparable to the properties nearby and we don't think that is what we're hearing in this particular presentation for allen ranch finally i want to summarize by saying going from 787 lots to 760 is not a revision thank you thank you sir oh sir one more thing has the council and the mayor seen the letter from joanne osborne we have been given a letter just recently thank you okay that's all the cards i have on that item uh public hearing is now closed uh do i have a motion for ordinance 020-38 item number 49 mayor mr milner i mostly adopt and approve item number 49 ordinance 20-3-8 second i have a motion council member melner a second from council member clerk to approve the recommended action is there any discussion on the motion we'll conduct a roll call vote starting with council member o'donnell how do you vote hi councilmember clark how do you vote hi councilmember hugh how do you vote hi councilmember thomas how do you vote hi councilmember turner how do you vote hi vice mayor how do you vote aye chair votes i that motion does carry can we move item number 50 please item 50 resolution number r20-84 a resolution of the council of the city of glendale maricopa county arizona amending the general plan

a resolution of the council of the city of glendale maricopa county arizona amending the general plan map of the city of glendale arizona by approving general plan amendment gpa 20-05 for 117 acres of property located at the northeast corner of camelback road and citrus road ordinance number o20-47 an ordinance of the council of the city of glendale maricopa county arizona rezoning 865 acres located at the northeast corner of camelback road and citrus road from rr4-45 rural residential to p-a-d planned area development for a development plan entitled allen ranches amending the zoning map providing for an effective date and directing the city clerk to record a certified copy of the ordinance mayor members of council against staff report has been presented on this but miss collins is available for any additional questions all right we have any questions mayor yes mayor when we first started discussing this i had some concerns about the residential portion um not necessarily about the lot size but my my concern was really more about um the the pavement and within the there's a lot more pavement inside a residential community um that would become the responsibility of the city and i had asked the city manager about it and was told that it would that i had suggested possibly we gated um and was told that that that they had accepted negate it but when i watched the planning commission meeting a couple weeks ago however long ago that was i realized that they had agreed to gate portions of it i think probably the larger lots i'm not exactly sure what they agreed to gate and i'm fine with that as long as they're willing to make the all of the streets private i feel personally that the residents who oppose this would a gate indicates a little bit more of an upscale community um and i do want to tell the residents out there that i have been working and talking to joanne osborne representative osborne about this she has been advocating for her constituents we don't necessarily see eye to eye on this but she has been in contact with myself and i believe some other council members about this on trying to soften the the difference between the neighborhoods um i've been a licensed realtor for 15 years i believe and i know economics that scarcity of a product increases its value and if this proposal was all homes on one acre half acre some of them are i think two and a half homes per acre in russell ranch it wouldn't it would probably hurt your values i don't think this is going to probably have any effect on your property values because it's a completely different product than where you live but my concern is that when we annex that that the problems or the the growth and the maintenance of the this area doesn't become the burden of the existing tax base and i worry that that's what this is going to become if the streets are public they're completely separated from the rest of the city and i would i would really like to hear more about um i have discussed with the applicant the possibility of getting all of it or making the streets private or doing some kind of district that would cover the cost of in 10 years i don't know it's going to become the responsibility of somebody to address this pavement we talked about pavement today it's a big job maintaining almost 800 miles of road here in this city so i'd like to hear more about that from the applicant who i spoke to the applicant would like to speak you're certainly welcome thank you mayor council members jason morris with emoris on behalf of the applicant thank you mayor and council in this instance we did have a conversation about the applicability of a private street network in this instance we also took a look and in fact it was the the councilwoman's question that prodded us to take a look at both the responsibility for the streets the ability to gate the streets and if you're familiar with the overall site plan and we can certainly put it up on the screen roughly half of the entire community of that 250 acres has been designed to accommodate gating which would accommodate a private street network the easternmost lots closest to the industrial component is not set up for a gating situation and is not set up for that private street network uh so what we asked of the applicant team was to take a look at the investment being made to ensure the city of glendale wasn't being put in an awkward situation in terms of long-term maintenance and in fact there are and i'm gonna if you permit me mayor i'm gonna actually read this off so that you have a sense of what that commitment is but between the arterial streets the arterial roadways the collector roadways and the residential streets the applicant is making a 50 so there are over four miles of arterial streets being built by the applicant for this project there is another additional two miles over two miles of collector streets being built by this applicant and an additional seven miles of local streets within this community being built by the applicant for a grand total of over 50 million dollars worth just of roadway investments and that's without traffic signalization uh for both the industrial and the residential which is also the applicant's responsibility because of that and because we are putting in and building to city of glendale standards we feel confident that with the ability to gate at least half of the community and the vast amount of industrial this is not only a net benefit in terms of revenue for the city but an overwhelming net benefit and so we're not able to spread those costs and put those costs on the shoulders of all the homeowners who are going to be within this because we are already doing that to a large extent with the initial investment so thank you mayor mr morris did you say you had a slide because i'm not sure exactly so what would be the the you said the the gated part of the community is going to be on the western side of the edge of the community which is across from russell ranch where most of the opposition lies at least as far as i've from what i've received anyway america do you have something to show us thank you and i'm happy to use either ms collins slide which is in front of you which i think is indicative of of the site plan i also have a separate slide which shows a little bit more uh accuracy what we're talking about but as you can see from the slide that's in front of you there's a collector roadway that essentially divides the residential community in half that collector roadway is the the dividing point between the larger lots which are 65 and 75 foot wide lots which we have placed intentionally adjacent to the russell ranch community on the other side of citrus so that there is that larger lot buffer and all of those individual communities are designed so that they can be gated communities mayor thank you for that mr morris so but do you have any kind of design i mean i i know you haven't gone to design review obviously but what's it going to look like from across the street i mean that is that gate going to be running or is it going to be fenced or how do you plan to enclose it on the western edge of the property there to the back side of those larger lot homes that are gated thank you mayor councilmember thomashoff in fact all of the gates would be interior because there is only one access point again this was done with purpose to ensure that there isn't additional traffic put onto the russell ranch community to the west there although it's a 250 acre community there's access on both the arterials to the north and the south uh camelback and bethany home but there is only one access point which is the missouri alignment adjacent to citrus that is not the gating point the gating point is actually off of the collector roadway which divides the community and there would be several gates for each of the individual communities if that is that out if that option is uh exercised okay thank you so what you'd be looking at along uh citrus is uh probably a stucco a wall that's been stuck out and and landscape you know mr mayor councilmember tom schaff i would very much like to share a slide if i can because i have something directly on point that shows that i but for ease of reference and because i know you have a very long agenda and many people who want to participate in these cases i will tell you verbally if you would like to see a more detailed account i'm happy to share with you what i can tell you is that although that scale is very difficult to see this entire community has been designed with an idea of what that citrus road experience would be specifically there are approximately a handful of lots which actually back to citrus road nothing touches citrus road and the vast majority of homes and there's a total of i believe 25 homes on that side in total thank you so much they side on to citrus rather than backing to citrus because one of the things we know council and planning commission has been concerned with is that you don't want a row of backyards and roof lines up against your arterial roadways so there's not only been a concerted effort to have homes that side on and that's the majority condition but before you even side on there is a significant buffer roughly 45 feet on average before you get to the community wall which is not just a stucco wall it's actually a design wall with a significant landscape buffer on both sides so if you're asking what that roadway experience will be for people who don't live within allen ranches what you will see is a significant amount of landscaping on both sides and some homes that side on to this the uh to citrus okay thank you mr morris because i'm when i know this isn't a final plot obviously this is a but i do see based on what i'm looking at that almost every lot at least um the the outer third there that line citrus are almost all north south facing which is desirable i mean i understand why a builder would do that obviously and that only five and possibly that looks like a corner lot so probably but maybe six lots would not necessarily back right up to citrus but would be the backyards would be a long citrus and that's really all i see mayor councilwoman you have a very good eye that's precisely what mr hillgard's team who's responsible for the design has been able to accomplish and that was a significant amount of work okay all right i'll i'll i'm finished for now thank you all right thank you but uh thank you mayor as long as we're on the subject um regarding the this the residential streets um certainly if the residential neighborhood is gated the streets are going to be private but that doesn't mean that they have to be gated to be private streets so when i was when i look at the design plan that we saw just a few minutes ago where you could see the north south collector running through there those that are the neighborhoods to the east while they may not be intended to be gated for whatever market reasons that's no reason that they can't actually be private streets and [Music] as far as the initial impact on the developer they're always required to put in the streets curb gutter sidewalk both internal and their half street on the external uh arterials if they if that's you know if that's what they abut to like this is so that's no extra all of our residential developers are required to do that where the where the issue comes in to me is at that 7 9 10 year down the road point when these roads need to be resurfaced and the question is where's that money going to come from because this whole development is the residential part of it is entirely residential there's no commercial corners anywhere where we're going to have a even a convenience store much less a grocery store or something like that that's going to generate ongoing sales tax revenue to our general fund then it means that it it runs right into the concern i've always had and that is that the existing portion of glendale is i i'm just adamant that they not be subsidizing this area out here so it seems entirely appropriate to me that all of these residential streets gated or not be private streets with the exception of the north south collector uh and missouri that a few blocks of missouri that run between citrus and that north-south collector that as far as i know is not yet named so that's what i'd be looking for i think at the moment we're on the general plan amendments of the agenda but when we get to the the zoning item okay then it seems likely that a stipulation of that effect is worthy of consideration may i apologize if i'm out of order but she read all of them she read the resolutions and the ordinance so we're doing item 50 first well that this is item 50. we're working on this i have a question from miss collins just as you did for the other projects what is the estimated annual revenue that will be generated from the entire project i believe you gave us some figures but i don't remember them yes mr mayor council member clark i did give you that information and i will give it to you again yes the annual net benefit is a range of 1.9 to 2 million the one-time revenue is 52.3 million so we could take part of that one-time revenue and dedicate it to a special funding source if we needed to to cover the roads in this area seven years from now or you said it was 1.2 million to 1.9 million annually now i said 1.1.9 to 2 million is is the annual revenue or knowing that we are going to generate 1.9 to 2 million per year and we are going to be in a seven year road remediation schedule that looks to me that the revenue generated somewhere in the neighborhood of 14 million give or take i would think would more than adequately cover the road maintenance that would be required seven years from now am i wrong in that assumption uh thank you mr mayor council member clark i really don't know the cost of maintaining the roads i can certainly look into that and try to get that information from you for you but i don't know the the cost to resurface the rates and i nor do i either but based upon conversations we had this afternoon over the pavement management program it would seem to me that 14 million dollars generated over seven years would adequately cover any road remediation that needs to occur out there so i i don't know the exact numbers well i think we have somebody that might be able to help you out oh mr freedline mayor council members i i think uh trying to ascertain the cost of even a 30-year life cycle let's say just for the collector streets and trying to equate it to whether it would be population for example in that subdivision that would equate to how her funds are divvied up if you will might be a pretty pretty hard thing to do a detailed thing to do secondly the other pot of cash that we use is our go sales tax and there might be an equation with reference to how they develop the yearly sales tax and what portion of that would be the goal part of the sales tax obviously if you just look at the first seven years and they're only collector streets the uh the cost for that first cycle if you will would be relatively inexpensive comparatively i we've never gone through that exercise to try to bring it down to such a micro level truly i think the the point that it it takes us farther and farther away from our service centers for example might cost a little bit more if we're using in-house crews so to speak if we're not and it's a very large contractor that's doing city-wide treatments you know as we continue to annex out you you see that we're gaining uh portions of cerebellum glendale bethany home uh i i think overall slowly as these annexations take place i really think that you'll be able to better ascertain what the costs are but i think if you look at where we are today and how glendale has grown other cities i think that what's in place with reference to her funding sales tax not knowing the future with reference to what sales tax what would happen or herf i think you could be relatively confident that we can keep up a seven year cycle especially as all those areas continue to annex in a larger geographic part of our city goes to the west i know that's not a detailed answer but i think that's the best i could do uh i don't think there's an equation to break down 2.5 person household how much in go sales tax would that be and what the estimate might be for herf but i would say as you slowly and pragmatically annex i i think that our model today shows that we can afford seven year cycles and i'm hoping in the future it does the same thing thank you very much it's not a complete answer but i think it should reassure some members of council and and i think the point that i was trying to make is that this development is not a vacuum it does generate some revenue for the city and i think that the revenues that it generates on an annual basis over the long term will help to assuage the cost of road maintenance uh periodically over the years thank you mayor thank you and i uh i'm looking at it maybe a little bit different obviously seven to ten years maintenance will have to happen but between the time it's built and at seven to ten years we have tax revenues coming in that's going to be going back to help other streets so it's not like it's not like um we have no money coming in for the next 10 years that money will be used for others so uh to to not do this because it may cost us money i think is is a bad precedence if we did that when the city started we wouldn't have any roads at all we wouldn't have any growth so mr kern i know you wanted to speak yeah thank you and to that point i'm not saying that we should not do this for that for the fact of the road maintenance that's going to come up i think i'm saying that we need to protect the existing glendale residents from this becoming a burden on them as far as go tax sales revenue their our transportation tax revenues or general fund revenues because there's no opportunities for those residents in there to spend their money at a local grocery store or that sort of thing we're not going to see much of that from them i'm kind of okay with that this is something we're doing for the regional good but i don't want to be burdening glendale residents with it i don't think it's appropriate to gloss this over and say well we'll take uh tax revenues that are generated by the industrial development and use that to underwrite the cost of maintaining the residential side down the road because we're not doing that with any of the other industrial development we're putting in out here plus that industrial development's also going to have to go to keep up the arterials so far i'm just talking about the local residential roads so you know plus those families that may move in there and they'll be spending their money but not much of it in my estimation of on a daily basis is going to go into glendale yeah they can drive over and enjoy westgate so can everybody in the west valley but their local restaurants their local shopping centers the closest car dealerships to them aren't going to be in the city of glendale same with furniture and all of that at this point we have no guarantee that any of those things are going to be closed in glendale that would be close to them so those sales tax revenues are going to escape us it's very simple we just say as a stipulation of the zoning in a few minutes we say that the residential streets not the collector not the tea of missouri that goes over to citrus but all those individual neighborhood streets that are only going to be used by the people that actually live in those neighborhoods let them all be private streets gated or otherwise the developer hopefully within the first cycle will have this thing sold out and be down the road it'll become responsibility of the hoas that are there or if they develop a development district a repair street repair district or something like that to do it in mass they can but i just don't i'm not comfortable i don't like the idea of burdening the rest of glendale with repairing these neighborhood streets when we don't have sales tax revenue coming in for us thank you here thank you mayor i have a question on the annual net benefit on the assumptions that you use to come up with that 1.9 to 2 million dollars am i correct that i think the assumptions are that 30 percent of the residents that work in the industrial area will live in glendale and shop in glendale is that how that you arrive at that annual net benefit number thank you mr mayor and uh councilmember tomlinshop yes that's my understanding okay because i'm i don't i i you know there aren't there's a lot of residential a lot closer than glendale except for this this 250 acres to these to this industrial so i don't know if i'm comfortable with that that's what our annual net benefit is because as councilmember turner said there's grocery stores furniture stores um movie theaters and and car dealerships that are closer than to them in other cities than they are in glendale so i you know i don't i'm trying not to be a pain but i think you know this is a this is important these are important decisions that we're making and they could have you know long-term ramifications to the existing tax base and that's what i don't want to happen um you know i mean lots of people have uh two hoas or if it was all the streets were private there could be one hoa i mean i don't know they're gonna have to be two hoas for the gated communities already anyway so i just you know i don't know that 30 of the people that work in that industrial park are gonna live in glendale and shop in glendale and then that annual net benefit is actually about two million dollars that's what that's based on just so everybody's aware that's where that number comes from i'm finished thank you thank you mayor um i guess when i look at it i look at it as a holistic picture you know we i don't see this is a project and if we're going to do this project it's inclusive of the industrial and the residential that's what this project is and i think holistically we need to look at the holistic area and the holistic revenues generated from these and so i would would believe that we have will have sufficient resources and again i don't think it's an un natural or a an assumption that 30 percent of the people would would shop in glendale we don't know where everything's going to grow up out there yet and i believe there will be opportunities for the residents to shop in glendale and and we will have revenues from those sales taxes so i i don't don't uh by the argument that uh this project is going to cost the city so much that it's going to be burdened to the rest of the city i don't believe that's the case i believe this this industrial area will will compensate uh more than compensate for the expense of taking care of the roads thank you mayor thank you any other comments okay public hearing is required for this so uh we're going to go ahead and open a public hearing on item number 50 resolution020 resolution 020-85 and ordnance020-47 i do have two gentlemen that spoke earlier i don't know if you need to speak again on mr thorpe and brian burgess on item number 50. i think it's pretty much what you'd already discussed before but if you feel compelled to speak again please come forward as quick as possible while they're doing that veronica sadler uh does not wish to speak is opposed uh mr de long is opposed i shouldn't say mr delong it looks like janet mis missed along his opposed does not wish to speak jeff hartzell as opposed does not wish to speak robert doc dockel doctril is opposed does not wish to speak shuri uh doctrill dockel is opposed does not wish to speak and miss warren is opposed does not wish to speak can you tell me your name against her brian brian borges okay go ahead sure um just in the midst of these discussions into the microphone in the midst of these discussions i had just a question that a number of us were wondering about uh regarding the potential tax burden possibly with this 250 acres of houses why wouldn't you just possibly consider making it all industrial commercial that was my only because most of us out there would probably rather see that and it sounds like it would probably generate more income for you so i'm just trying to understand why putting 200 you know 700 plus homes out there is even a consideration thank you thank you mr thorpe yeah i just wanted to comment again based on the discussion i just heard a minute ago and that is um you're absolutely right people live on allen ranch and russell ranch and clearwater farms they're not going to shop in glendale at all i guarantee you that there's a lot of other places nearby on goodyear we're not going to drive all the way over here we're going to shop in goodyear we're going to shop in litchfield park we're going to shop in waddell we're going to shop in surprise we're not going to show them glendale thank you sir okay that's all the cards i have public karen is now closed can i get a motion on item 50 resolution 020-84 mayor emotion we adopt item

the residential streets in [Music] the development to be private second okay we do have a motion and we have a second discussion on the motion hearing no discussion we are taking a motion on mr turner i'm sorry we're going to be taking a roll call on mr turner's motion yeah we had no discussion so on the motion uh roll call vote council member aldom how do you vote on the motion mayor i'd like to ask a question um we i we haven't heard from the applicant if if their clients would be willing to do that not i'd like to hear from the applicant okay so we're not going to take a roll call vote the applicant like to speak on this thank you mayor thank you mayor councilmember obama i appreciate the opportunity to speak on this this is integral to what we are proposing this development as was mentioned earlier is a holistic development it is impossible to tease out one portion of it and talk about the economics of one portion of it without taking into account that one family the allen family standing before you with an application that family has owned this property for over 70 years and they have been supporters of growth in this area i'd like to speak specifically to the request that all of the streets be privatized and talk about our concerns the first concern being that you would be creating a second class of glendale resident that class of glendale resident unlike other glendale residents would be asked not only to pay property taxes as they usually would but they would be asked to pay again to take care of their own streets i am not aware of another community a residential community in glendale that has had privatized streets thrust upon them i know of privatized streets where the applicant has requested them but to create a policy decision that there are going to be certain residential communities within the city of glendale where those residents pay a property tax like every other resident which typically would go towards some of the things that we're talking about in roadway maintenance but they would then be required by their own hoa to take care of their own streets i think is a very dangerous precedent as i pointed out in this instance you're also getting the benefit of two-thirds of this property being a revenue generating property for the city of glendale and i'd like to point out that they are very conservative estimates in terms of the numbers that have been used and we have not talked about the potential that within this 11 million square feet that there would also be sales tax generating aspects of that 11 million square feet in addition to the employment as we look at what would occur for the individual residents and that essentially the double taxation the applicant would have a very difficult time making that work on this site and i'd also be leery of picking out residential subdivision by residential subdivision which ones council decides to make maintain their own streets versus the others and you know where is that line drawn so hopefully that's a comprehensive answer mayor and councilman of burial aldoma thank you sir appreciate it thank you mayor um air force still in discussion than to that point discussion uh to that point we do have any number of neighborhoods all throughout glendale in which the streets are private um and the hoa takes care of the refurbishing of those as needed so it's not unusual um and we do have our we have our existing residents to look out for um i yes there's property tax involved but as you all know that property tax the city's portion on property tax is precious little and i i just want to encourage you all to support my amendment any other discussion yeah i'm not in favor of um demanding somebody has to have uh private streets and maintain them i agree i've never seen glendale do that before and glendale has taken some big chances throughout our history we jumped all the way out for a master plan community arrowhead ranch and believe me that mayor council got all kind of pushed back people didn't want it and their complaint was we're paying for somebody else's development putting roads in infrastructure and you can see what a great success that has been for 30 plus years and also to take all this which is coming to us together we're not piecemealing it i think it's just wrong i think these are going to be great homes for people to live in and they deserve to have maintenance roads taken care of by the city glendale like all of our citizens do other parts of cities don't have grocery stores any longer but we still maintain their roads they might not have places to shop like they used to but we still maintain them i think that's just a bad president to set and i'm dead set against it thank you mayor thank you there's no other discussion we are voting on mr turner's motion to basically make an amendment so councilmember o'donnell how do you vote nay councilmember clark how do you vote nay councilmember hugh how do you vote nate councilmember tomlinshop how do you vote aye councilmember turner how do you vote hi vice mayor how do you vote nay the chair votes no so your motion did not pass now we're going with the original uh motion for item 50 may i get that i have a question mayor in the presentation it was mentioned that the neighborhoods on the western half of that subdivision were in fact designed to be gated communities that so far as i know is a good solid verbal representation but is there any stipulation in the the zoning request that would require that they fulfill that promise or that commandment that those be gated they've already said themselves they're willing to gate and have private streets and half of it and i if it's not a stipulation in the zoning i would like to know i don't believe that was a stipulation i think it was referred to that it's a possibility to put dependent upon that developer we could certainly allow the applicant to speak on that if necessary on the gated portion mayor council members you're correct the design in fact we were asked after the original application was filed to contemplate gating of those communities because they were the larger lock communities both the 65 and 75 foot wide lots so the developer and applicant agreed to design those for gating meaning that if the residents and if the developer wants to gate those communities coming in they will have the ability to do so it is not they also have the option of not gating those communities but that is the design uh and and why we're on that subject normally normally as a gated community typically bring the value up in price mayor i would believe that there's an exclusivity involved in the gating of a community so there is that potential for a greater value there's certainly a commensurate cost that goes along with that because obviously those homes would have a greater hoa fee for the gate and for the road privatization but oftentimes it's considered desirable but they're an equal number of homeowners who do not like the sometimes inconvenience of a gate well thank you mayor so it's been represented to the council police members individually that the neighborhoods west of that north-south collector would be gated communities i don't see any reason why we wouldn't make that a stipulation in the zoning and i will move that we amend council member milner's motion to include a stipulation that requires the neighborhoods west of the north-south collector be private roads whether they're gated or not i haven't heard a second for your amendment second oh i have okay so now we're back uh to the motion again as a minute we're going to vote on them you want to vote on the amendment separately i believe that's proper to vote on the amendment first and then okay very good okay yes uh i have we have any discussion on the motion before we we're having the discussion right now yeah i just had a question uh regarding the uh um the intent of the the applicant um i know they've stated that they've put in the their design but will this and maybe this goes more to planning department will this come before the council for a final plat for voting how because this isn't a final plan will there still be a final plan comes before the planning commission and or the council uh before this is approved turn your mic on it is on thank you mr mayor uh vice mayor malnar uh yes a preliminary plat would go to the planning commission and a final plat would go to the city council once a subdivision development is developed by the applicant if i may follow up so at that time can the council then request that that be a gated community as it has been proposed here uh mr mayor vice mayor malnar no um you know a planning stage is really an engineering document and it's so it's looking at infrastructure and those types of things so no you typically would not have that they would show if the streets were going to be private or public because they'd be talking about dedications and those kind of things but no we wouldn't look at that at a final plat one more follow-up then we could either approve or disapprove that based on whatever is presented is that correct no i'm sorry mr mayor uh mr vice mayor i'm not sure what you meant by that you said that the plat the final plot would have to be approved by the city council so the city council if it's not gated we could say no mayor and council members if i may the approval of a platt is a ministerial act by the city council your city code sets forth the criteria that need to be met and in the event that somebody meets those criteria then it's a ministerial act that the city would approve it so to the extent that you're adding additional criteria that's not within our code you would not be able to do that thank you are you good mr tom trump thank you mayor this is this is a little puzzling to me because um when i when i first suggested because i think we all initially when we looked at this i don't think there were several of us that did not like creating basically a city island a residential city island out there that was the the reference by uh some of the uh people who spoke tonight that we did not want to do that and one of the the things that i spoke to the city manager about was that you know you could alleviate a lot of my concerns and probably the other council members concerns by getting the community gated several weeks later i was told that the applicant had agreed to gate the community and then we find out that they're going to get part of the community and now we find out well they might gate part of the community so um i'm i'm just you know i i'd rather have all the information up front i'm disappointed that um i didn't have the correct information and we literally just found out a few minutes ago that it's really going to be optional to gate the community at all so um [Music] i guess that's really all i have to say vice mayor yeah go ahead councilman yeah i'd like to get clarification from either the applicant or from our zoning staff so i'm not comfortable with with with gating just part of this community so let's just hypothetically say there is going to be a portion of this community being gated how many homes within that gated property are we talking about that may occur mayor councilmember aldama i appreciate that and let me be clear about what the applicant was representing and has represented the idea of gating the community we really as the developer have tried to leave that to the ultimate builder of the homes within that community with the understanding that they would be in the best position to understand either the value or the concerns about gating it i also want to make clear that the concern and the commitment is not about the west half of the community i know mayor and councilmember tommelshoff the comment about what could be gated uh is just that i believe there is the option to get those communities if that is an add of value we have that ability but we're not backing away from the privatization aspect and i think that was the concern the applicant doesn't want to be forced into gating any particular aspect of the community but if the concern is the cost and the privatization of the streets that is our understanding that is something that the applicant is willing to abide by on that western portion so that we may have the ability to gate those communities because that is how it's designed so some of these sub associations would have which would be less than half of the overall homes but uh about half of the land mass councilmember aldama for that community they would be they would be gated off of the collector i hope that makes a little bit more clear i i want to be clear so on the on the west on the eastern side the larger lots i'm sorry on the western side larger lots you would agree to allow those to be gated but not the opposite side is that correct that is correct meryl though we would we would characterize it as we would agree to make those private so that they have the ability to be gated and they aren't the responsibility of the city of glendale okay so does that mean what you're asking for that was his sounds to me like yes on my motion yes whether they're gated or not thank you mayor i just want to be clear how many of how many homes would be private regardless of gated or not i'll give you that's what i want to know excuse me less than half less than half that's about half the land they're just larger lots mayor councilmember odama uh 238 lots okay thank you thank you everybody good yep no mayor one final miss collins can you is it possible for you to bring up the arterial slide of the area that you showed us in the beginning that showed what other subdivisions and and the reason i'm asking you to bring this up if you can i'll wait and see if you can keep going there you go thank you mr mayor um councilmember let's see keep going whoa uh yeah that'll do that that slide will do okay okay i you know i keep hearing the residential portion of this project being characterized as an island well i thought an island was surrounded by nothing i mean when you think of an island you think of it in the middle of the ocean it's surrounded by nothing when you think of an island on land it has nothing around it i don't like the reference to this as a residential island it has plenty of development to the west of it and to the north of it it is not an island and as long as we're looking at this arterial i was surprised because i did not know that there were r2s and r4s in this area r16s and i guess my question would be this i would love to know if the residents of allen ranch complained as bitterly about the development of r16s and r1-2s to the west of them as they are complaining about allen ranches to the east of them alan ranches is not an island it is a different type of project than what they have and i might note that even in the russell ranch's area i don't think every lot's been bought in there yet so you know lots of people want larger lots but a lot of people don't and so the point that i'm trying to make is that this is a different type of project but it is a project that will bring added value it will bring a different type of consumer that might not necessarily want a half acre or a half or an acre lot but that will like the convenience of being in that area and i think that denying the fact that we need to create a mix does not make it a bad project thank you mayor all right thank you yeah i just want to say one more thing before you get to the call for vote but i'm not real comfortable with separating 200 lots from the 760 leaving 500 kind of segregated from from half the product i'm just not comfortable with it i'm really uncomfortable gating that that half but i'm still uncomfortable making a private street so i could live with lenten the builder as suggested by mr morris make that decision uh i'm i'm not i'm i'm not comfortable with that yeah i'd just like to echo what councilmember al dhamma just said i understand where he's coming from he feels the same way i do i i'm not in favor of that at all thank you all right anyone else okay we are on uh an amendment a motion from mr turner seconded by miss tamatop on the gated portion of the larger lots and that's that's what we're going to be taking a roll call vote on so with that uh starting with councilmember aldama mayor can we can i get a clarification of what that is exactly with the motion mr bailey do you want to marry intense i'd actually ask the maker of the motion to clarify that for the record so that we understand exactly what it is he's trying to work through here thank you thank you my motion was that the residential lots the residential streets west of the collector the north-south collector would be private streets regardless of whether they were gated or not okay i actually thought that you had included gated in that original one no i'm confident i said regardless of whether they were gated or not you did okay okay with that you've heard the motion that's been seconded we're going to take a roll call vote we're going to start with mr odama how do you vote yeah i'll stand by mike commons uh that's an a councilmember clark how do you vote nay councilmember hugh how do you vote nay councilmember tomlinshop how do you vote aye councilmember turner how do you vote play my vote i'm i'm not comfortable at some people may not be comfortable having a different road treatment on one side a way to treat the roads on one side of the other but i'm far less comfortable having the taxpayers in the barrel districts having their money going out there to pave those roads when there's no non virtually no predictable sales tax or transportation tax revenue coming out of that neighborhood so with that i vote yes how do you vote i'd like to explain my vote good um for different reasons um i thought i heard tonight the uh applicant tell us just a few minutes ago and i'm kind of confused by why we're voting the way we're voting if the applicant said that's fine let us we'll make those private i mean he said it write to us here tonight we'll make those private streets gated or not we don't know but private they will be he said that so i don't know what the discussion why we're voting no on this i would ask one of you to change your vote and i vote i thank you and again i spoke with him asked him was that going to be a major problem and he said that they could make that happen even though i'm hoping that you do make some of those sections or allow them to be gated because i do think that that adds a variety i think it it adds a big opportunity for people that may want to live in that area but maybe want the privacy where other people may not uh and and the fact that the benefit is so we're going to be responsible for half the roads instead of all the roads i think that's i think that's about the best compromise that this council could ever hope for uh with that i'm going to vote on and that uh is enough to to pass uh the amendment so now we're going to vote on item number 50 ordinance number zero two zero four seven as amended uh with that council member odama how do you vote i'd like to get that clarified you said as amen did what as the amendment that uh mr turner that we just voted on so this is a lot this is actually the last vote then it includes the amendment you know that's what it's going to take to to get this done again i'm not happy segregating streets and within the community i'm just not happy with that at all but i think the vice mayor made a point if the if the attorney for the client said they'll do it then i let them do it i it's just not a philosophy of mine to have somebody across the street from you have different rights to streets the way they're maintained in the other i just think it's i think it's wrong but that's what it's going to take and the attorney said he'll they're willing to do it then i vote aye thank you councilman clark how do you vote hi councilmember hugh how do you vote hi councilmember thomas how do you vote hi councilmember turner how do you vote hi vice mayor how do you vote hi chair of outside pass is unanimous thank you okay moving to item number 51 item 51 ordinance number o20-44 an ordinance of the council of the city of glendale maricopa county arizona rezoning property located at the northwest corner of bethany home road and the loop 303 from a1 agricultural to pad planned area development for a development plan entitled cotton properties amending the zoning map providing for an effective date and directing the city clerk to record a certified copy of the ordinance mayor members of the council here to provide staff report is lisa collins interim development services director lisa thank you mr phelps mayor and members of the council this request is for cotton properties zoning case number 17-15 so this property is located as you see on your vicinity map showing city hall to the east cotton properties is to the west it is along cotton lane bethany home to the south glendale to the north and the loop 303 is on the eastern side so again this is a request to rezone 161 acres from agricultural to planned area development this is consistent with the voter approved general plan land uses established in our general plan and it does comply with the luke compatible land uses per state statute you have seen this previously this was brought to you in a council workshop last year june 11 2019 and you provided consensus to move forward on the annexation of this land so a public hearing was held as required on the blank petition on june 25th 2019 and you adopted this property into the city of glendale on january 14 2020 of this year so again the general plan does show this as loot compatible land uses and regional mixed use as shown in the graphic here so the current zoning is a1 agricultural that's what was brought into the city when the land was annexed and the proposed zoning is planned area development pad so again we do have the noise contours and those dictate the type of land uses that are allowed per state statute and in this particular area the land area requires that there be industrial and manufacturing type uses there is some commercial uses allowed as well so this graphic shows the character plan that's been submitted it does show land uses of commercial about 47 acres and those are on the northern end of the property and on the piece that is immediately adjacent to the loop 303 on bethany home road each one of those are a little over 25 acres the one on bethany home road is a little less probably 22 and a half acres there's 94 acres of industrial and that is the large purple area in the middle and then there's 19.5 areas of flex which is the lighter pink color in the southern portion of the site so again fiscal impacts and assumptions were determined for this site to be based on the light industrial commercial in office and the annual net benefit is projected to be 22.5 million and the one-time revenue from this development when we look at construction sales tax and permit fees is 11.2 million so there was public involvement this project has been around for some time because the annexation was considered quite some time ago initial notices were mailed and then they were mailed again in mid-2019 and in february of 2020. the request was advertises required and the hearing notices were mailed so the findings are that the 161 acre proposal is consistent with the development objectives again of the voter approved general plan which does identify loot compatible land uses as mandated by state statute this development would develop in conformance with the city of glendale's commercial guidelines and those require that it be compatible with other planned area developments in the area we do have a letter from luke air force base that says that this proposal would not negatively impact their operations they neither approved or denied they just let cities know whether it would impact their operations and they've said it will not so the recommendation on this case is approval and the stipulations read that it should be in conformance with the june 8th 2020 planned area development that was submitted and that there are requirements of additional right-of-way along glendale avenue and bethany home road and then there are half street improvements on those same roads and then also cotton lane there is a traffic impact study that's required at the time of design review and that will determine the need for a deceleration lane and a left turn lane there is an additional stipulation that i know is under consideration [Music] that will be read into the record and i'm happy to answer any questions that you may have thank you mr mayor i do have a fifth stipulation that i would like to read into the record now i will be making adding this stipulation to the motion when it comes time to do so and this is how stipulation 5 will read a truck stop will be permitted in the cotton properties pad with the following conditions a only one truck stop use shall be allowed on the cotton properties pad revised june 8 2020 consisting of 161 acres b if a truck stop use is developed within the cotton properties development it shall be located within the 22.53 acre parcel immediately adjacent to the loop 303 on bethany home road identified as quote commercial unquote on the quote character plan unquote submitted as part of the pad c signage prohibiting truck traffic west of cotton lane shall be installed in accordance with the city of glendale transportation department regulations d all lighting shall be in accordance with the codes and ordinances with additional security lighting to be provided in accordance with best practices as determined by the glendale police department at the time of site plan approval e video surveillance cameras with access available to the glendale police department shall be installed to provide visual access to the entire site f if a truck stop is constructed prior to the development on the adjoining parcel to the west an 8 foot screen wall shall be constructed during the first phase of the truck stop site development g a quote signed unquote office space within the truck stop shall be made available to the glendale police department maricopa county sheriff's office department of public safety and goodyear police department nh on-site security officers shall be provided by the truck stop if determined necessary by the glendale police chief that is the substance of stipulation five i offer it now because it should be part of the discussion thank you mayor all right thank you any other comments from the council before we open up a public hearing okay public hearing is now open for item number 51. uh do you have any items that need to be read into the record mayor there was a request by a council member to have a letter read into the record did you want me to read that at this time yeah one more time a council member did request to get a letter uh this letter is addressed to council member talmachoff um regarding support loves travel plaza zoning zone 17-15 dear council member thomachoff my name is tony bradley and i am the president and ceo for the arizona trucking association ata the ata represents the business of commercial trucking in the state of arizona i am writing you today in reference to a story i recently watched on tv regarding a proposed loves travel stops loves off the loop 303 in glendale i am asking you to support the proposed zoning changes i understand that the potential loves travel stop is a potential use in a larger 161 acre pad zoning request zone 17-15 that the city council will consider on june 23rd trackers are an essential business they deserve a safe place to rest and resupply during the past few months as america has dealt with the covet 19 global pandemic we have come to appreciate the people we don't often think of and far too often take for granted as we live our lives from the farmer who gets up before dawn to milk the cows to the nurse who takes care of the sick and injured from the grocery store clerk who makes sure we can get the food we need to feed our families to the truck driver who delivers the food to the store the medical supplies to our hospitals the medicine to our pharmacies and the toilet paper to everywhere these are the men and women who cannot work from home who cannot tell commute or stay safe in the comfort of their own home there are more than 3.5 million truck drivers nationwide the hard-working men and women in the trucking industry selflessly spend weeks away from home so we can live our lives it is a hard job and often a bankless job these truck drivers deserve a safe place to rest refuel and pick up supplies for themselves the loves at 303 and bethany home would provide just that safe truck parking is a critical need for truck drivers inadequate truck parking is a major issue affecting the safety and efficiency of freight movement in arizona that is why during the past two years the arizona trucking association has been working with the arizona department of transportation adot on a truck parking study the goal was to identify the gaps between truck parking supply and demand according to the adot truck parking study truck drivers use truck parking facilities to comply with regulations that promote the safe operation of commercial motor vehicles making truck parking a factor in both truck driver quality of life and the safety of other roadway users and that cites the an arizona truck parking study according to the study quote 93 percent of drivers reported some degree of difficulty finding parking in arizona and 67 percent of drivers reported difficulty finding parking in arizona at least one to three times per week when astow truck parking availability has changed in the last three years 72 percent of truck drivers said that the truck parking availability has gotten worse simply put we already have a truck parking shortage that's three minutes okay with that we're going to go ahead and uh i'm i'm going to we are holding everybody to three minutes because we have an awful lot of people tonight thank you so with that said uh i'm going to ask barry who's cabbage i probably totally butchered your name i apologize

is i used to do auto repossessions and repossessions of trucks nine out of ten of those truck stops we went into the first thing that greeted us was the hookers the drug dealers and then of course we got to witness the thieves we don't need that out there in that neighborhood that's the last thing we need we're already getting enough other developments and other things that are not beneficial to any of us living there and why you guys would do something like that to us i know none of yous would want that in your backyard thanks thank you sir okay judy meyer you're up next and then after michelle hemsbuck doug henbuck would be next if you'd be ready to go please if you would for the record state your name the city you live in you have three minutes hi judy meyer waddell i just really have some questions i would like to know if you guys already made your decision prior to getting here today it has been brought to our attention that this has been planned for years and it's just been brought to our attention here recently can anybody answer that question we're here for you to speak we're not we're not taking questions have any of you considered our concerns from all of our emails our meetings our webcams we're all concerned about our community i've personally lived there 20 years this year this is not something i want to see i moved out there for a reason to get away from all of this and it's just really unfair you read the letter from the person that wants the truck stop have you read the letter out loud from joanne osborne because i think we all got that today and as a family member of a truck drivers i have one that was brutally beaten barely survived he's on permanent disability he's the truck driver who got beat at the truck stop i don't want that near my neighborhood it's a terrible thing the crime is going to come the pollution is going to come the noise is going to come the lights are going to come we don't want any of this we all came out here for a reason we have private roads you guys are discussing private roads we pay for our private roads with our little hoas people come down our roads that shouldn't come down our roads so it's going to happen and we don't want it and um i just kind of feel it's all about the money you guys aren't considering any of the neighbors you don't care how we feel you don't care what it's going to do to our community that's all i got thanks thank you michelle kim's book after her is doug and after doug if you'll be ready uh laura thomashoff again for the record state your name city libman please hi my name is michelle heimbach i live in waddell i'm on the corner of bethany home and cotton lane a couple things that i just wanted to point out when i was here to last month whenever it was they said it was 370 odd feet to the homes that we live at on the corner there from the truck stop the proposed truck stop i want to put that in perspective that's less than a five minute walk in the heat i appreciate the idea and the amendment to have no trucks allowed down cotton or west of the truck stop i appreciate that but let's just look at a few things we don't have police in our area we don't have a police station we don't have a fire department the amazon building in california caught fire now i realize that that is not a truck stop but it is a warehouse signs are a suggestion it doesn't matter if no one is there to enforce it i appreciate that you would have police officers at the truck stop or available to the truck stop we live less than five minutes away if there is such high security at that truck stop where do you think those people are gonna go i don't care whether you guys protect the truck stop i care that those people who choose to do bad and we know who they are it's not all about the truck stop or the truck drivers we love truck drivers you need to understand that but you are putting an industrial area with industrial traffic and neighboring residential in what city in what state is that an actual plan for success you are bringing in crime you are bringing in vagrants i know truck drivers they want to do the nice thing they will pick up people and take them to the next stop there is nothing nothing out there for the general community we have out west general store and we have a post office where are all those people and you know what i'm talking about when i say those if they are safe to not do crime at the truck stop where do you think they're going to go thank you very much for your time thank you thank you for hearing me thank you mr handbook laura thomachoff you're up next and after that alex fuller you need to be ready to go the records for your name should he live union council 1171st i live in waddell arizona and uh wanted to come and just to talk to you guys basically i did attend the city council meeting a couple weeks ago they did approve the rezoning but one thing that they did do is they did acknowledge the fact that bethany home road is not the place to place a truck stop two reasons the one first of all is that creates a huge bottleneck in that area you're talking about adding 780 houses out there that's going to be adding a lot of people that's a thousand glendale residents moving to that area that's a thousand glendale students and glendale employees that will be coming into that area and now you're looking to add hundreds of different trucks in that area that congestion is not good for the residents of your community stands out good for the truckers and it's just bad all around the second reason that's not a good thing is that is a dangerous area for the letter just a little earlier they're talking about you know truckers will be able to stay in a safe place and the problem is with that is that's not taking a look you know that zoning is not approved for motels it's not approved for people to be sleeping taking showers and eating and the problem is that's in luke air force's bases flight zone and definition for me is i think if the truckers are living and sleeping in their trucks in that area that definition that tells me that's a residential and that's like a motel and that is not approved in the zoning that we're talking about so and we're talking at least 75 trucks is what this area is talking about so again that is a huge accumulation of people that could cause a lot of problems just by being in that area of the flight zone so basically the planning commission they did approve the zoning but basically what they did is they left it up to you all to approve what that's actually going to happen in that area and i'm asking that you at least add a stipulation for that area for the zoning approval and relocate the truck stop to a more safer area thank you thank you sir laura thompson again next door there's no clapping thank you alex fuller after you would be kathy brits please be ready to go hello my name is laura thomachoff i live on 177th avenue in glendale my husband is a trucker so i am certainly not opposed to truckers i think they do a great job throughout the united states especially during this coven 19 crisis however i have traveled with him on numerous occasions and i have never seen a truck stop that was in a residential area in an upscale residential area and you're approving probably a million acres of different types of uh warehouses and all types of things like this we're talking about allen ranches putting in possibly gated community literally half a mile away from a truck stop i mean i don't know about you but i wouldn't pay a half a million dollars for a home next door to the truck stop now if it happens we're all stuck there you know we don't have a choice you know we can move perhaps but that's it but otherwise there's no way that a regular person is going to pay good money to live in those allen ranches either so you're kind of you know you're cutting off your nose to spite your face the way you're working this out and it doesn't make sense to put that type of a truck stop right there i mean perhaps a gas station but not a full-on truck stop and like the last gentleman just said i mean truckers live in their truck they stay overnight that doesn't make sense glendale police are a half hour away and just because you shoosh people away from the love's truck stop i mean that means that they're coming into the neighborhood possibly and that just you know that that isn't right you wouldn't do that to your own neighbors you wouldn't do that to your own family and i really hope you take it under advisement not to do that to us either thank you thank you alex fuller you're up kathy brits after you mary pino will be following alex fuller oklahoma city i'm the real estate project manager for loves and at this point in time i'm just here to listen to everyone and then later i'll answer any questions thank you thank you kathy brits mary pino and then julie borges next matthew i live in waddell and i was concerned your last name brits b-r-i-t-t-s thank you there it's if there's a fire at the love's truck stop how are you going to respond to that because the only thing we have is rural metro and as far as glendale police they do not respond out there so you're going to have the sheriff's department which is short 300 officers anyway the past couple months we have had the social distance wash your hands wear a mask but yet you're going to expose our family and children to diesel exhaust which causes lung cancer and many other major diseases you're not only going to expose us but our wonderful wildlife zoo animals that are endangered species so i was wondering what some of these animal activists would feel that loves truck stop and the city council do not care whether they cause a death or health problems to the zoo animals my other my husband has been in law enforcement for 42 years he's worked off duty at truck stops for about 25 years flying jays pilots they're the pilot the crime there is enormous prostitution drugs sex traffickings runaways stealing and selling a property and as far as gloves trucks stop having security guards there they will not security guards do not arrest or detain them they're told to leave the property or call the police and even if the security guards are told that security guards are told not to call the police because if they do they will know what the high crime rate is and their insurance will go up and i called a couple of other insurance companies they said because of the truck stop our house and car insurance will go up because of the crime let's see what else and i'm just wondering i don't even think we would be here if you guys had a truck stop across the street from your house your children being exposed to crime i mean sex trafficking alone runaways my husband says you'd be surprised how many runaways if your kid got mad and go well you know i'm going to run away truck stop they get up and they're gone you'll never see them again and i think the only thing i'm just you know you see here there are concerns but you guys don't care and the way things are going now the only time we will get any response from any politician or city council is to have protests i mean and we don't want that we're good people we just want to communicate and talk to you guys and say hey these are our concerns but you guys are all you guys in my opinion see is the almighty dollar what you can get you don't care if you do you don't care if you give our kids cancer or you know there's zoo animals or anything else how would you like it if this was right across the street from your house i bet you ten to one you would be voting no and we wouldn't even be here thank you mary pino you're up next julie borges and then amy mazur risks hi my name is mary piano and i live on perryville road in waddell first i want to bring up i sent a letter in and i hope everybody got one i sent it to everybody under the sun um there was a discrepancy in the mileage but truckers come from the east from the west and north because the i-10 and 303 ends right 303 does not go south so if they're coming from california they hit a truck stop in buckeye if they're coming from the east there's a love's truck stop in tolleson is 18 miles from 303. the buckeye location is 17 miles from the 303. if they're coming from the north 303 is 35 miles long it hooks into the i-17 toward flagstaff there is not another truck stop for 80 miles why do they need three truck stops within a 40-mile radius when the when we are so opposed to it it makes no sense and in kate since i have a few more minutes i'm going to read a little bit of joanne osborne's letter she said the proposed development is not in current in harmony with the surrounding community values she also states the communities of waddell surprise litchfield and unincorporated maricopa county furthermore the surrounding areas of that west valley are single-family homes located in maricopa county and they do not have representation to you guys so please listen to us don't just hear us out and then go ahead and amend and pass everything listen to our concerns because if it was you you would be up here you would be standing where i'm standing thank you julie borges you're next uh amy mez or as i can't pronounce your last name angela warren you'll be up then hello my name is julie borges i live in waddell obviously so i'm just here to strongly oppose the truck stop going in it's a really passionate emotional thing for us but we have true concerns this is not going to benefit us in any way we don't get revenue from it nothing's going to the schools where my children go as far as i understand how things work i'm not going to reap any benefits from it as far as like money from my community nothing like that i live on a dirt road if i want to pave it i have to pay for it i pay a lot of money to live where i live and our value of our homes is going to go down people are not going to want to spend 500 000 250 000 whatever it is to live by a truck stop i live by a trucker they live right beside me there's one on my corner there's one on the other street across the way every truck person i have spoke to that lives in my community ninety percent of them oppose the truck stop being there they've even said why don't we have one farther north we're driving to vegas we're delivering things to vegas i love all the stuff that people bring me from a truck i'm a nurse i understand how you know the front line works i get it but there's a traffic issue also too besides just that canyon view high school is two miles away there are kids varianced coming east coming to the school they're going to be driving bethany home now we're going to have 700 homes on allen ranch you guys need to come out and look at the community don't look at it on a diagram come out and look at it it is going to be a nightmare and it's going to be unsafe it's going to save my kids as far as crime i have five children i do not want my kids by a truck stop it is unsafe there are three bus stops 1300 feet from this proposed site for a truck stop my kids go to the bus stop there my kids ride a bike there and i want my children to grow up there they do livestock they do 4-h they do things for the community they can't do all of these things when everybody's coming into our area and taking it over you're pushing us out and you talk about revenue i will not give my revenue to glendale and i know there's a lot of people that will boycott it too because you're not thinking of us you're thinking about the revenue i understand you need revenue but please do not do it with the truck stop thank you thank you amy you're up and then angela warren after angela's alan erickson my name is amy mazurcheck i live 183rd avenue in northern i'm here today because i was a police officer for 15 years injured in the line of duty i understand what truck stops do i work the county i work the west side i know truck stops burglaries theft of vehicles vagrants homelessness people panhandling and while i do unappreciate the council member making the adjustment of cameras and security and fencing the community behind that that few feet that you're giving us all is rural with no lights nothing out there so where do you think these people are going to go they're going to go around that property into the dark area of our neighborhood that doesn't have the streetlights burglarize and steal and do their crimes i understand it's not love's fault i'm not saying because that's a truck stop it's the nature of the beast but it does not belong in a residential community and as far as the councilwoman i'm sorry i don't know your name because in the other room you can't read when you've said twice now about property values going up when things are moved in and we improve this this is not an improvement you're going to destroy all of our property values so as a realtor who you've announced that twice now you would think that you would understand that on top of that i take serious offense to the councilwoman that sat here and said about us complainers sitting there complaining when we're when you're trying to make a development we are u.s citizens members of this community that have a right and a value to add to and be able to speak with you that does not make us complainers it makes us people that are exercising our rights and it's very offensive and demeaning the way you talk to people who say things like that it's like why don't you just say we're putting this in a basket of deplorables because that's how it came across okay last warning for the people that keep clapping i'm serious angela warren you're up next aaron allen eckerson that you'll be following and then kevin byron hi i'm angela warren and i live in waddell i am a licensed master social worker sorry i need to tip this so i can see the paper i have expertise in sex trafficking issues it is a known and researched fact that trafficking and prostitution take place at truck stops across america despite raised awareness and organizations like truckers against trafficking truck stops have the potential for exploitation and recruitment of victims let's take a deeper look into the business mindset of traffickers and the logistic of the ease of movement for transportation of their products from one area to another interstate 10 and 17 and the connecting loops 101 202 and 303 provide quick distribution of industrial goods but it's also quick transportation of human trafficking victims high schoolers are a prime target for recruitment we're not saying that truckers are going to go to the high school that's ridiculous but a love's travel center in our neighborhood will be the only place that will have an appeal for the teens in our area because it will become could easily become a local hangout for teens in our community the average age of entry into sex sexual exploitation is 15 and that's an age when youth often feel disconnected unaccepted and lonely an article by arizona state university office of sex trafficking intervention research states that recruitment tactics of sex traffickers of minors included focusing on children i think i might have but okay focusing on vulnerable children such as runaways or those who would respond to overtures of romance or friendship promises of money and wealth were dominant in recruitment features and traffickers focus on minors because minors are in particularly easier to manipulate due to emotional immaturity along with the risk of trafficking of minors is the issue of prostitution in general that often takes place at truck stops providing an in on-site security may deter some activity but the use of online communication to arrange services has made this exchange nearly invisible an article by jorges at all discusses issues of sex and drugs sold at truck stops the article discusses concerns of increased risk of trans sexually transmitted infections and hiv due to the practice of sexual mixing and drug exchanges on the road a post on a trucker's blog called all truck stops focused on crimes committed by truckers and it states that although there are many truckers who train to identify signs of trafficking there are others who are actively purchasing hiding and abusing trafficking victims as a governing board of council members please consider how allowing a truck truck stop at this location could become a place of danger for the youth in our community thank you ellen eckerson uh kevin byron's next and then jennifer bloomberg if you'll be ready please alan erickson waddell i'm referencing the crime packet that you were handed all of you were handed prior to the meeting the most important point i wish to make tonight is that the crime statistics at the buckeye love center are police calls made only at the truck stop itself crime in surrounding communities is overlooked by the proponents and by a member of this council search the internet and you'll find crime spreads out from truck stops the vagabonds homeless and petty criminals associated with truck stops will introduce property theft home break-ins armed robberies auto theft physical assaults into previously unaffected neighborhoods recently obtained from the buckeye police department department up-to-date five-year data indicating 597 police calls again though only those at the truck stop itself the cotton properties love center will be 25 larger than buckeyes that holds the potential for 25 percent more of everything police calls crimes pollution if buckeye and cotton properties are similar as noted by the proponents waddell is in for a lot of blue lights and sirens the most prevalent police call is traffic accidents consider the 128 traffic accidents at the buckeye loves located in open space and multi-lane streets then compare that to the tight roadway at 303 in bethany add 760 new homes a thousand more cars along with 150 plus 18 wheeler trips a day and we have a serious increase in traffic accidents the drug trade goes hand in hand with trucks in the truck stop environment truck drivers obtain drugs to stay awake or bring themselves down and sex workers use methamphetamine heroin cocaine fentanyl just to survive their miserable lifestyle organized drug syndicates use truck stops and compliant truck drivers as distribution points across the usa keep in mind there will be a large high school age element hanging out at loves trouble will follow prostitution and sex trafficking at truck stops are the number one complaint by truck drivers and law enforcement across the united states yet not one incident in five years was reported at the buckeye and tolleson love centers you can only wonder how can that be the sex trade plight in our neighborhood is more than unhealthy it rubs off in onto in onto the innocent organizations such as truckers against trafficking.org and the fbi highway serial killings initiative will open anyone's eyes to the depravity at truck stops there are reasons no truck stops are located along the 101 and 202 the potential for crimes near those neighborhoods has to be one of the reasons truck stop crime impacts waddell and litchfield park yet will have no impact on glendale or its citizen we ask that the love's truck center not be approved at the proposed location and if built relocating it away from our neighborhoods thank you sir mr byron jennifer bloomberg and then following that will be nanette erickson good evening my name is kevin byrne i'm with waddell um i'm also part of the package that was delivered to you guys tonight and i'm i'm covering the crime 2 section in that section you'll see that as of today there's three individuals from the national sex offenders public website that i'd like to bring to your attention tonight one of them listed has his residence at love's on 83rd avenue the other two individuals are actually employed by loves there their offenses are oral copulation sexual exploitation of minors and sexual abuse now these are not just you know a few guys who uh you know got caught going p behind a garbage can these are actual sex offenders gloves and tiffany and bosco keep saying love is clean and safe love security will only ask those questionable people to leave their premises and those unsavory people are going to wander into our neighborhood and glendale pd their jurisdiction ends where our neighborhood begins so the question i have is how will the city of glendale and loves prevent the crime and unsavory people from coming into our neighborhoods that this truck stop will bring with it so let's face it this is all about making money ask that we please look at other alternatives for this location that are better suited everybody's kind of brought up tonight you know high schoolers are going to go to this we have a high school two miles away you know so that's where they're going to hang out you know because there's going to be fast food you know unsavory people aren't you know they're going to get pushed off of that love's premises and they're going to come into our neighborhood and and we can't afford that i mean we moved out there for a a lifestyle and this will impact that dramatically thank you thank you jennifer bloomberg you're up nanette erickson after that robert i'm sorry i just can't make out the last name robert denalt good evening i'm jennifer bloomberg from waddell i'll be speaking on diesel exhaust in your health imagine 500 others up here with me who are unable to come due to high risk health at home with children or working this evening to or elderly environmental particulate matter diesel exhaust from engine idling contains tiny particles known as fine particulate matter pm10 it impacts health by being inhaled deep into the lungs and entering the bloodstream arizona the department of environmental quality per adac short-term exposure hours and days aggravate lung disease cause asthma bronchitis respiratory infections long-term exposure years reduce lung function and chronic bronchitis it impacts the cardiovascular system increases cardiac dysfunction formation of blood clots risk of stroke page six here in your packet shows how heart function changes during exposure page seven is an overview of how particulate matter impacts the cardiovascular system these are both courtesy of the epa diesel exhaust has an impact on the brain as well diesel exhaust is associated with neurotoxicity resulting in brain inflammation alzheimer's dementia learning disabilities among many others cancer the ir classifies diesel engine exhaust as carcinogenic to humans 70 percent of the cancer risk from toxic air pollution comes from diesel exhaust which would make diesel emissions more harmful than all other toxic air contaminants combined air pollution in covet 19. previous research has shown that exposure to particulate matter can increase a person's chance of dying from covid19 neighborhoods around truck idling locations suffer from increased air pollution pm10 per the epa travels for miles from the source of emission page 12 from the admission to exposure courtesy of the epa shows how it travels the cotton properties is within a pm10 non-attainment area meaning this area already exceeds the epa threshold for pm10 page 14 here the proposed truck stop is considered as substantially adding capacity that would require air quality analysis under epa regulations and the clean air act and air quality study should be done in summary the emissions from diesel exhaust are detrimental to the health of people and animals lungs heart brain cancer increased risk of death by covet 19. per the epa pm10 travels in the air for miles not stuck in buffer zones or shrubbery or industrial buildings it impacts the health of residents and their animals in the neighboring communities we are asking you to make the health and safety 15 seconds of people in the glendale planning area your number one priority in consideration of how you will vote on this pad we are asking you to stipulate a travel stop truck stop be prohibited in the cotton properties pid zone 17-15 020-44 thank you thank you nanette erickson robert tanault and then brian borges thank you my name is nanette erickson waddell i appreciate the early information i believe councilwoman clark put some stipulations out there but i wanted to report on something that you may or may not be aware of the p.a.d that was reviewed at the planning commission meeting on june 4th that all of us attended was dated july 1st of 2019. however the pad that was submitted to you all for the city council meeting today uh was from june 8th so we were not presented with the same information numerous changes were made the most significant being the addition of a truck stop and truck stop services under section 5.1.2 permitted uses the june 8th pad needs to be resubmitted to the planning commission for review and a public hearing should be created waddell lives matter litchfield park lives matter glendale lives matter but we're the ones being impacted by this we ask that you please reconsider the location of the love's truck stop we understand the truckers need a place to go we're not against truck drivers we're not even against truck stops but not where you're planning to locate it thank you very much thank you after brian borges tommy bradley or tony bradley would be next robert as i'm robert duvall i'm i live in waddell and i would just uh like to uh concur with a lot of the different opinions uh the nice little report with the d.o.t and everything yes 57 of the drivers out there have a parking problem but it's not only because of the lack of truck stops it's because hoas and everything else and i respect truck drivers i have been a truck driver i know thousands of truck drivers you ask them it's location it's location location and this place is the worst location you could get there is no roads whatsoever cotton lane intersects with bethany and glendale and neither one of them are through streets one exit ramp on entrance ramp and the representative from love's trying to sell your bill of goods said that oh look you've got commercial property down in goodyear on cotton lane and you've got trucks coming and going 30 trucks in one day does not compare to 30 an hour the noise the constant diesel it's a health risk safety risk for our children our schools our churches and do you know we have some problem possibly with you rezoning for industrial but you know if we welcome you as neighbors we don't want you to come out there shake your hand and welcome and then you stab us in the back by giving us a truck stop next to our property thank you thank you for your service sir brian you're up tony bradley after that russ thompson if you'd be ready brian borges in waddell i live approx approximately a half mile away from where this proposed truck stop will be um i wanted to address a few things first of all related to the citizens participation report then there was a series of questions we had and mr aleman from tiffany and bosco answered some of those questions just wanted to address some of those that quite frankly were not answered correctly and i believe with limited or totally misinformed information it's the same information that was presented excuse me presented to the planning and voting meeting a couple weeks ago according to his answer regardless to our traffic concerns quote development would not negatively impact traffic increase the increase would be quote minimal and unnoticeable quick question if you had a traffic stop or truck stop going in within a half mile of each of one of your homes and i told you that it would be minimal or unnoticeable the traffic difference obviously you all would call me a liar that's absurd right um so after looking at what they did there were some things i noticed that concerned me um there are five first of all there are five truck stops within 20 miles of this proposed site along i-10 already stringing from buckeye to 51st avenue to phoenix okay trying to figure out why the heck we put another truck stop here and obviously it's a question for mr fuller why this is such a good location when you would think the 60 and 303 would be a much better location or the 303 and 17 being that you got it over an hour's drive before you hit another truck stop north um but uh considering the traffic um you think about all the traffic stops along i-10 or excuse me truck stops along i-10 first of all each one of those exits along i-10 which i'm sure many of you are aware of the traffic revolves around where that truck stop is i mean let's not make any bones about it whenever you get off at one of those exits at 99th or 83rd or um 67th and there's a truck stop there the whole traffic pattern revolves around where the truck stop is we need to keep that in mind because it hasn't been addressed [Music] the um the study was done the traffic study was done last year august of 2019 during the hours of 7 to 9 a.m and 4 to 6 p.m for those of you that aren't aware um the high schools two and a half miles up the road high school gets out at 3 p.m the study did not have any recollection of the high school getting out an hour before they even started the study okay there's flawed data here and what they say of the study it didn't account for the two more years of the high school junior and senior classes still need to be going there thank you sir tony bradley you're up russ thompson you're next mr mayor and council for the record my name is tony bradley i'm president and ceo for the arizona trucking association residences in phoenix our offices in tulsa for the past two years mr mayor and council the arizona trucking association has been working with the arizona department of transportation to identify and study truck parking we are currently in the process of working with the maricopa association of governments to identify the lack identify the need for truck parking in our city and around our state uh representative council member tony thank you for reading my letter and to the record a couple of items that i'd just like to talk about truck parking is not cheap it's needed truck parking is critical for our trucking as the arizona department of transportation study recognized truck drivers use truck parking facilities to comply with regulations and promote safe operation of commercial motor vehicles that's to make everybody safe for on the road if you do not provide a safe place for trucks to stop and rest they will park in undesignated areas which will most likely be in the residences surrounding the neighborhood i had the opportunity to drive the 303 the other day and i was amazed at all the commercial development that was around there there's thousands of docks and thousands of doors in that area and those trucks need a place to park simply put if they don't have a place to park they're going to go in the neighborhoods even in my area of tullison when i drive down the streets every day i see because of the lack of available truck parking you have trucks parked next to neighborhoods if you don't allow safe truck parking they will park in the surrounding neighborhoods just like to address a couple of the other issues that have been brought up uh human trafficking the trucking industry is proud to support truckers against trafficking we've trained hundreds of thousands of drivers how to identify human trafficking human trafficking is not happening at truck stops it's happening at hotels and in inter because of the internet in rooms around the truck stops truck drivers are trying to we're training truck drivers to be a full force multiplier to tell law enforcement when there's human trafficking happening one of the people talked about pm10 let's be clear pm10 is dust all new commercial truck vehicles have particle particular medical filters on there and as some of our owners like to say when we drive into la we actually clean the air so we you know dust happens from dirt roads as many of you know one of the ways to mitigate dust and reduce pm10 in maricopa county which is a non-attainment zone is to pave roads to to create development in commercial air excuse me in agriculture areas that is dust when that agriculture is kicked up that creates pm10 so by by bringing in commercial um commercial development that actually will reduce the dust in the area and because of the pm10 filters on the trucks it will reduce that pm10. i'd just like to again uh in closing say if you do not allow additional truck parking in the area it will find different ways different places for those trucks to park and i'm available for any questions you might have thank you russ thompson you're up thank you i'm russ thompson litchfield park and uh i run a trucking company it's based in glendale and i am pro-trucker and i'm on the arizona trucking association and i sit on the board with tony but i will tell you this is a bad spot for a truck stop you're going to bring 500 trucks a day down bethany home road whether you like it or not they're going to overflow into those country roads truckers are paid by the mile and have limited hours that they can drive if there's three trucks backed up to hang a left back to 303 they're going to take a right and they're going to go down bethany and they're going to get on citrus and they're going to get on perryville that's just how it is we tow trucks out of neighborhoods every single day we pull them out of people's front yards those are old country roads and that's what you're going to get and you talk about have you guys went and visited the truck stops on 83rd the loves the pilot on 99th go see what it takes to get back on the freeway when those truck stops are there go and see what you're going to do for the traffic someone brought in the point of you know some drivers pick up hitchhikers not first i'll say most drivers 99 are great great people but you're going to get drop-offs and someone find out there's nowhere nowhere else there to go and that and that is the truth and i just want to say you know you talk about you know crime and truck stops and what it brings this is from a shipper that we haul for and this is they give my drivers this piece of paper every day and it's for their safety it's this is l brands that owns bath and body works victoria's secret and pink and it says the following truck stops pose a risk for drivers and their loads l brands asset protection requests that truck drivers do not stop at these locations do not stop for your for your own safety there's three in arizona it's pilot i-10 exit 137 loves i-10 exit 135 and pilot i-10-133 so loves can control what happens inside their truck stop they can't control the overflows they can't control that when drivers pull in there and they're out of hours and they need somewhere to sleep legally they can't drive another mile they're going to go down those country roads are going to find some place to park there's nowhere else to go and i am pro trucker and we need more places but this isn't a good spot there's industrial areas where they could be there's a lot of places they could be and we need more but this is not the right spot and with that i'll just thank you for your time thank you sir okay uh we're gonna wrap this up ron klein uh did not wish to speak opposes cj woodson i i hope that i said that right uh opposes does not wish to speak emilio roman opposes does not wish to speak i'm sorry uh actually supports but does not wish to speak excuse me isabel bloomberg opposes does not wish to speak earl bloomberg opposes does not wish to speak duffy bloomberg opposes does not wish to speak that concludes that that does conclude our public hearing mr mayor yes would it be appropriate at this time to ask the applicant representative to respond to any of the comments okay well i'm asking if it's appropriate now or later um if mr fuller would like to speak right now that's fine i don't know if he needs to do you need to you want to mr mayor council members bill alley with tiffany in bosco i'm actually the applicant here tonight happy to answer any questions alex is here to talk specifically to procedural issues with the truck stop i'm here to talk about the zoning case and any of the issues that the council might have i'd i could take a few minutes and just address a few things if you'd like or if the council has questions does the council have any questions for this gentleman he's willing to take questions does anybody have any questions what questions sir given by this resident mr mayor council members i know it's been a long night i'll just take a few minutes there's no no need to labor a lot of the points some of the issues tonight really resound around location i think if you talk about and you look about this corridor this corridor just tonight's application or just tonight's agenda approved 21 million square feet of an industrial uses and so if there's ever going to be a location that's appropriate to serve a future an existing trucking location it's this location this location is adjacent to the 303 it's not across the street from homes you heard that a lot tonight this is across the street from my house or our neighborhood it's not it's 300 1400 feet away it's going to be on the other side of existing development industrial buildings so a large buffer there was a lot of conversation about pollution and and pm10 and the idling of trucks uh i think tony did a good job of talking about dust but many of the what i've learned is many of the trucks also have an auxiliary power source on their vehicle so they don't actually run the trucks while they're waiting they turn on the auxiliary power source so the truck is not idling for hours on end we have talked to the police department your police department about calls for service there's eight stipulations in front of you tonight that address almost every single issue that was brought up here tonight we've worked very very closely with many of you and your staff for many months and your police department to put together three stipulations that go to crime prevention that does not exist at any other facilities love facilities in arizona so this is setting the bar in terms of requirements for crime prevention that no other community has done and so i applaud you and many of the council members here for working very very hard in these eight stipulations i think this case is ten times better of a case with these stipulations added to the case so with that mayor council members be happy to answer any questions okay my question you agree to all the stipulations mr mayor yes we do yeah any questions yes mayor i do have one question with regard to the concerns uh about the teenagers hanging around and loitering around is there is there any um thing that loves does in other locations too that are maybe where they can as a concern that teenagers would be hanging around i mean it's not like there's going to be probably anything for them to do there except go buy a energy drink or something but do they have a policy about no loitering and that sort of sort of thing mr mayor councilwoman thomas i'm going to bring up alex but let me just give you kind of my perspective we have a stipulation that requires video surveillance linkedin to glendale's pd system we have the ability and the requirement to have a police substation there so if i'm a teenager and i want to go loiter and cause trouble or whatever and i see lots of video and i see cop cars all over the parking lot and i see a sign that says police substation i'm likely not going to loiter too long and cause too much trouble i will bring up alex he can maybe talk to a specific love's policy in council member i really don't have too much to add to what bill said but if you look at our parking lots the auto parking lots where high schoolers could be parking and hanging out there are signs that say only a minimum of one hour parking and our employees are trained just to monitor and make sure if either a car is left there for an extended period of time that looks suspicious or if people are just hanging out for an extended period of time to to make sure it's addressed and that's not happening and there's no illegal or bad activity that they could be creating thank you mr mayor i have a further question from mr fuller it's just a curious question but it's something that was raised repeatedly by a lot of the citizen comments why here they made mention of perhaps a northernmost location further up north would be better um what does love's do in terms of determining a location or is it strictly based on aha this property is for sale and we can get it sure councilman clark i can tell you for a little bit of back story and background information that we actually started looking and analyzing this 303 loop three or four years ago and at that point we had identified several sites but with the 303 loop not being completed with all of this industrial development not being built or currently being built we didn't see that it was a correct market or the market would support a loss at that time now you fast forward two three four years later and in my opinion in love's opinion the market has completely changed per our data we're counting 500 or 5 000 trucks traveling the 303 per day bill and everyone else has alluded to just the proposed industrial square footage that's going to be built as well as the existing industrial development and the development that's currently being built so all of those factors as people know when you drive on the 303 and if you've seen it grow over the years it's definitely in my opinion changed significantly okay one follow-up question because i'm not you answered part of my question but i don't think all were there any locations available further north because a lot of people seem to indicate that there's a lot of truck stops to the south but not very much to the north and had you considered that aspect when you did your due diligence sure we considered three or four sites i would say and i work closely with a local brokerage firm who knows the area very well has been doing a bunch of work out along the 303 in that area several were north maybe one or two were south but there's just a multitude of reasons why certain properties aren't viable or why loves can't purchase them whether they already have plans they just don't want to sell they have it under contract with another potential buyer so it was a process of six eight months of us looking talking to property owners before we even struck a deal and put any property under contract so based upon due diligence this appeared to be the best location for your organization correct thank you all right is that it well are we gonna have a discussion or any questions i don't have any questions but i have i have something i would like to say okay thank you so um i feel like the the the speakers were you know they made some very good points but i keep thinking back to that the loop 303 was part of the regional transportation plan for maricopa county since 1985. it was originally planned in the county's regional transportation plan in 1985. now due to funding shortfalls and increasing construction costs and economic situations um it forced cutbacks to the plan and the plan was put on was dropped from the regional plan for a period of time but when the sales tax extension for the regional transportation sales tax was extended in 2004 the the project was put back on track so this isn't a surprise that the 303 showed up out there in this area and you know while i feel for the residents um you know compass develops around a freeway that's what happens development occurs around a freeway um and that's what's happening here with this industrial the trucks are there whether there's a truck stop or not the trucks are there with all this industrial so um you know i mean the the the regional this this loop 303 was part of a well thought out regional transportation plan um and this is a subsequent development of homes industrial and probably not maybe in this area but this is retail this let's literally this is retail one of the only things that we're going to be able to have retail here in this area i'm comfortable with the stipulations i appreciate and we've been working closely with representative osborne she's been engaged with several of us over the last several weeks advocating for her constituents now while i don't see eye to eye with her she has been advocating and has actually influenced me to work a little harder on getting some of this stuff done for the residents out there and i feel like with the connection to the police department with all of the things here in these stipulations i feel like it's it's a a good plan it is literally right next to a freeway where a truck stop should be it's going to be buffered by all the industrial if the industrial doesn't develop first it's going to be fenced it's one of the stipulations here so um i feel like i i want the residents while i know they're not going to be happy i want them to feel like they've made progress here that there are a lot these there's i don't know how many there are a through h stipulations of things to make this uh something that's not going to bother the neighbors um you know i feel bad for people who lived out there before 2004 when the freeway started really getting underway but everybody knew since 1985 that 303 was coming through there that it's been part of the plan for a long time and um this is just one of the things that happens when when a freeway develops is commerce happens and the trucks are there uh the fact that they use the alternative power source they don't idle the trucks all night the cost of fuel i think would be incredible to idle the truck for hours and hours and hours while you're sleeping so um i think that mitigates the a lot of the diesel the truck's driving up and down the road is going to happen whether the truck stops there or not so that's all i have to say right now thank you good thank you mayor um you know i don't really have any problem with the uh commercial policy of developing commercial in the areas that we've been doing i i feel like it's it's the the right decision to move forward and i really appreciate the speed at which our economic development and our city manager and everyone else has moved to fulfill the the aspirations of the council to develop this area into a commercial and industrial center which it is becoming i have some real concerns however about the loves truck stop i really am not in favor of a truck stop at this location uh i've been you know the stipulations that council member clark read that really gave me a little bit of a kind of warm fuzzy feeling for a few minutes but then as soon as the residents started to come in and explain and then the uh the folks that were in favor of the truck stop got up and i they gave some very valid responses to some of the concerns and so i i over the last few months you know i've driven their neighborhood i've driven the area i went out to some of the truck stops in in other areas in particular buckeye i spoke with residents i happened to be visiting someone who lives out in buckeye and asked them they live about three miles away from the truck stop they weren't impressed uh with what goes on at that love truck stop there and it created an impression in my mind now the impression may be wrong that the that this is going to change that this love truck stop is going to be different but i'm telling you that if i lived in that neighborhood i would be in that room and arguing against this happening in my area i i really have concerns about it coming in i don't know where the council is on this i haven't spoken with a lot of people on our council about it a couple maybe they kind of know my concerns i've let staff know several times i've let the the applicant spoken with them on the phone i let them know that i'm in favor of the industrial and commercial development moving forward and i think that that that will create some i guess concern from the residents but i think they're willing to live with that but that loves truck stop for me i i just can't i am just not in favor of it i just don't think it's the right space or spot and i and i've looked up and down the freeway and i'm going i don't know where the spot is i know our policy of creating a lot of commercial is going to demand a lot of trucks and and i'm concerned about that and we need to provide for it uh but i just don't believe this spot is the right spot for a love's truck stop i i i've thought about this a long time and uh have concluded that um that i would be willing to as far as go as to put a stipulation that a love's truck stop cannot be at this location and and and go ahead with the uh approval of the the changes in the uh the zoning uh but anyway that's that's what i have to say and i'll let uh other council members speak or we can vote and decide which way we're going to go thank you any other comments yes but um we don't have emotion on the floor at this point do we no i have not made the motion yet not yet and uh i was going to ask mr melner does he want to make a motion that a truck stop is not allowed keeping in mind as we discussed this what does a truck stop actually mean that if a person has an rv they can't buy diesel fuel what i would support is that a stipulation that a commercial truck stop could not be developed on the cotton properties and commercial meaning what we're talking about a love truck stop i don't mean it could be a circle cave that's not a truck stop it could be a gas station that's not a truck stop we know what a truck stop is i don't think it needs further clarification a commercial truck stop and uh i don't know if emotion is we don't have emotion on the table yet to discuss it but i would be willing to entertain that yeah mr milner to be clear circle k does have truck stops so if you if you point out loves then is it does it mean flying j can come in or pilot can come in no so that's a truck stop it's not it's direct stop a circle k a neighborhood circle k is not a truck stop but there are circle k's that are truck stops i'm sure but if it's that's all i'm asking for clarification i uh i i happen to have not a diesel semi i have a diesel one ton and i pull a very large fifth wheel trailer and i have i have to have a lot of room in order to get diesel fuel and for me the truck stops work really really well they do for a lot of people because they also provide rv clean outs and and things like that that you can't get in your normal place so again we could discuss this probably forever because there you know you got to figure out what it is that you're stopping or allowing and so i'm just trying to clarify i'm a a truck stop that would have more than than five semis parked and uh backed up into the location so mayor mayor mr turner's next thank you mayor so um tonight's a night that's been 35 years in the making seriously tonight's a night that's been 35 years in the making it was 35 years ago that mag identified the corridor for the 303 freeway and the freeway's been under construction and completed well over 15 years it's no surprise that the uses around the freeway because of the luke air force base corridor or the noise contours are going to be truck oriented type uses manufacturing industrial distribution warehousing all of those things require these tractor trailers this isn't a surprise shouldn't be a surprise to anybody anybody that's moved out into that area in the last 30 years should well have known that this night was coming now i'm i'm a believer that people that own property have a right to develop their own property in accordance with things like the general plan and the uses we've been talking about and the uses the zoning that's requested are legitimate uses under our general plan for that area i also believe that neighbors have a right to try to influence how property that can impact them can be used but they don't in my world get to control it and the neighbors have influence if we adopt this zoning with the stipulations that have been prepared tonight the neighbors will have significantly impacted how this property can be used the stipulations are specifically drawn to address the concerns that they've raised they're realistic and what's unrealistic is to think that that because you live near something you get to control how it can be used you get to influence it to the best your ability and these stipulations can the the mr lally i think said that you know this is remarkable what we would be doing here is well within what's planned for it and with these stipulations make this stand out and maybe be a model for what gets done elsewhere in the state in the country but certainly elsewhere you know in the glendale area when we may for those who would say oh this isn't the right place or the right one this may not be the only truck stop we'll have to consider out there in that area i would predict it won't be but we we have an opportunity to do a state-of-the-art development with what i'm told by the people in the other room so to speak is with the best truck stop operator in the country i don't know that we get any better than what they bring and what we've added to it this is this is the right thing at the right time the neighbors i mean let's face it the closest neighbor is three football fields away and there will be a huge industrial building warehouse building between the truck stop and them a building bigger than the truck stop very few neighbors actually out there live within a mile radius of the truck stop less than 100 out of that whole clear water farms area by my count less than 100 homes are within the one mile radius of this proposed location it doesn't we're not going to find better sites than this this site is approximately halfway between i-10 and peoria avenue which is the northern boundary of glendale and everything south of peoria avenue to camelback east of cotton lane is all going to be truck oriented type enterprises this is a there's a demand for this and i think we say yes to this one and set the bar as was said earlier set the bar about what the next ones or any others are going to look like and i mean not that everyone will have a police substation probably but we set the bar about what we're looking for and we've provided we've addressed concerns about security and about traffic to the best we can and there can be more done later in the in the actual design of the thing and the plan review concept but i think we've got a i think we've got we've done what we can people have a right to develop their property in accordance with the general plan and what they're asking to be done is within that and i'm willing i'm i'm going to be a yes vote on this at this point so thank you councilman clark um thank you council member turner well said i appreciate it um i just wanted to to bring up one thing there are there are some of us who are maybe identifying really closely with the residents of the area and that is your right and i understand that and i i think perhaps in some instances the consideration has been that loves will be a magnet for teenagers and maybe a gas station would be better at that location well i'm here to tell you that copper canyon high school in my district has a gas station across the street where do you think all the kids go after school to the gas station i don't think it's what it is necessarily i think kids are attracted in terms of convenience number one how close is it you know to their school is it within walking distance etc and so i don't think it's related to what the building is so much as what they're able to do at that site and quite frankly they're going to be allowed to do less at that travis love stop than they are at my local gas station so is it the right site i concur with council member turner here we are we've deliberately decided and i concur with council member tomatroff we have deliberately decided that the 303 will be an employment corridor for our city that what we want to do is create jobs and revenue into the future okay and when council member tomlin chop said 35 years ago they had already planned on that loop 303 who can you think of any major road or freeway that does not have intense commercial industrial retail whatever it is development alongside it it is the it is the way we plan in this country that at every major freeway or road there are intense uses and i feel for these people i do i understand because i've been on that side of the fence on other issues in another life so i i and i do sympathize with them that this has become a radical change in their lives it's a radical shock they're no longer going to have those farm fields that they've seen for the past 50 years but what they will have and forget about the loves for a minute loves is one tenth of this entire project what they are going to see along the 303 are massive buildings industrial buildings complexes that are either doing manufacturing distribution or perhaps retail but they are going to be massive structures all up and down the 303 and it's unrealistic to assume that there wouldn't be intense development along that three or three so i i do agree with council member thomas trump's remarks and council member turner's remarks it's coming and you can't put all that industrial in with all the truck usage that's going to occur and not provide a safe alternative because what i did here which one of the citizens remarked about was when a trucker has to stop he has to stop now he can stop on cotton lane or bethany home road or he can stop at the loves i'd much rather have him stopping at the loves than on cotton lane thank you mayor thank you anyone else okay with that public hearing is now closed uh we're going to address the stipulations first would you like to make a motion for the stipulations yes i i would like to make uh do you want me to reread that all eight stipulations i i what i'd like to do is make a motion uh with ordinance zero two zero dash four four item 51 including stipulation so we have one vote okay i hereby move we pass and adopt ordinance number 0 20-44 with the stipulations as proposed by the planning department and the additional stipulations called stipulation 5 that i offered earlier this evening second okay we have a motion we have a second to prove the recommended action any discussion on that motion with the stipulations seeing none we'll do a roll call vote councilmember odama how do you vote hi councilmember clark how do you vote hi councilmember hugh how do you vote hi councilmember thomas off how do you vote aye councilmember turner how do you vote hi vice mayor how do you vote i'd like to explain my oath go ahead um i i get what we're trying to accomplish here i really do and i think it's it's great what we're doing um i i'm now speaking to loves because that's the topic that we're not necessarily a developer but loves folks i would ask that you and i appreciate the stipulations but i would ask that you make this truck stop the best truck stop that you have in the country that you make this truck stop a friendly place a place that is not going to bring in the types of uh crime and things that have been talked to by about this issue with the neighbors tonight and i would issue that challenge and to help you remember that challenge i'm going to vote no thank you okay and i want to explain my vote i've been fairly quiet because everybody else had a lot to say i uh i have actually logged well over a million miles accident driving semi for a long time and it was a long time ago drove all across the united states and and i have seen and witnessed some of the concerns that was brought up but i can tell you also when i first moved back to phoenix in 1988 i lived at 51st avenue in latham which is definitely straight across the street 59th avenue from at the time a circle k truck stop directly across the street and it wasn't 1800 feet it was across the street and we experienced some traffic issues we did you know trucks pulling out trying to make a left turn and it slowed traffic down but i can tell you i also used that place a lot it was a great place to stop in the morning to get coffee on the way to work it was a great place to get fuel i was a great place with my rv to to get fuel diesel fuel for my truck and i i didn't experience a lot of the problems that the people are talking about now i'm not saying that they won't happen we're humans things like this happen i understand but but here's the thing that i really wish everybody would think about if you and first of all we're not voting on a love's truck stop tonight that's not what this is everybody understands that that's probably what's going to be coming everybody gets it but that's not actually what this is but if you don't have availability for trucks to park because federal law has really tightened up a lot and it forces the drivers to get off the road they don't have any choice or they lose their license and then they lose their livelihood if you don't have a place like that with all this industrial development that is happening and folks it's undeniable it's happening uh nine million plus square feet of industrial property you're gonna have semis in the area if you don't give the trucks a place to park get them off the roads they will be looking in your areas to park i promise you that and so if we can if we can solve some of these problems early with the stipulations try to make it to where it's enforceable try to put up the signage have the enforcement available this area is going to grow you're going to see more and more sheriff you'll see more and more dps and you'll have a lot of dps stopping here 303 is part of part of what dps patrols so is it perfect absolutely not you know i moved here in 1966. i know councilmember turner was born here i know uh councilmember hugh was born here change keeps happening we're a population in the valley of what pushing seven million people now something like that uh they're talking about buckeye being the largest city uh if if they can provide water for their citizens larger than phoenix by 2050 the growth's coming it it's coming and it and it bites but it is what it is we're the fastest grown county in the united states and and you folks live right in the middle of it and there's no way to slow it down there's no way to stop it that what we need to do is try to control it if we weren't doing this it's going to happen anyway and so the best you have is for us to try to add stipulations try to control it at least at least you know that you have a voice we may not know exactly what you wanted tonight but we did try to respond as much as we could and still allow people there their opportunities for personal property so with that the chair does vote i it does pass motion does carry thank you uh would you move item 52 please item 52 resolution number r 20-86 a resolution of the council of the city of glendale maricopa county arizona amending the general plan map of the city of glendale arizona by approving general plan amendment gpa 20-0-1 for property located at the southeast corner of glendale avenue and 91st avenue ordinance number o20-48 an ordinance of the council of the city of glendale maricopa county arizona rezoning property located at the southeast corner of glendale avenue and 91st avenue from c2 general commercial to pad planned area development for a development plan entitled glenn 91 pad amending the zoning map providing for an effective date and ordering that a certified copy of the ordinance is recorded mayor members of the council much to her displeasure i'm sure but this will be the last time tonight that miss collins will get a chance to address the council she'll provide staff report on these two items thank you mr phelps and thank you mayor mems for the council so glenn 91 is a mixed-use pad planned area development uh two requests here a general plan amendment 20 0 1 and zeon 203 so glen 91 is located as you see on the vicinity map west of city hall it's at 91st avenue and glendale so this is a request for a minor general plan amendment from planned commercial to corporate commerce center and a rezoning from c2 which is general commercial to a planned area development so this area is designated as planned commercial on the general plan this request though would extend the ccc designation eastward from the westgate vicinity area again this is the zoning map that shows this parcel so it does extend from 89th avenue to 91st avenue and again glendale avenue is on the north and an aerial shot of the location so this site plan shows what the applicant is requesting for this property that there will be multi-family units to the east and an office building to the west these are the residential elevations that are being proposed and again these will go through our design review and site plan approval so there has been public involvement and initial notices were mailed out the request was advertised and posted and the hearing notices were mailed so we believe this is consistent with the findings of the glenda general plan it certainly complements the adjacent development at westgate it encouraged infill and greater variety of land uses and housing types and design so with that the staff is recommending approval of gpa201 in zon203 with the following conditions that it be in conformance with the glenn 91 pad that was submitted and dated may 2020 that revisions and or modifications to the site access onto glendale avenue and 91st avenue will be addressed as part of the design review process and there will be one access granted onto glendale avenue and one on to 91st avenue the developer will also be required to provide half street right away on glendale avenue and 91st street the developer will be required to provide half street right-of-way and improvements and you met 91st avenue correct i did mr mayor thank you so on 89th avenue the developer will be required to provide half street right away dedications and improvements in the right-of-way improvements along 91st and 89th avenue and glendale will be constructed with each of the adjacent parcels and sidewalks will be required along 91st avenue glendale avenue and 89th avenue along the property frontage there's also a shared access that is shown on the planets of 50 foot wide ingress egress along the southern portion of the site and that's to give the parcel to the south which has been referred to as robin 91 an opportunity to share that access if they so desire street lighting will also be required along the property frontage where none currently exists and with that i'm happy to answer any questions you might have questions from the council mayor ms collins was what was the nature of the public input at the neighborhood meeting if there was one for this thank you mr mayor councilman turner we didn't hear any input except from the property owner to the south that did have the request that the cross access be available if required when their development comes through so that that was the only input that we got on this thank you um mayor not a question so much as a comment uh i have worked and met with this developer several times very good person to work with and my requests all of the requests that i felt would make the project better we're exceeded too and i think that's important that shows a certain sensitivity to the neighborhood and and again it's an apartment project and people will be aghast that i am supporting another apartment project but it is right budding it it's budding right up against westgate and as i have said repeated repeatedly it's an appropriate location for that kind of mass and that mass helps to support westgate and sun hero and i think the the last point that i want to make is that the developer acceded to the request of the property owner to the south in providing shared access that was important to that property owner and i want to thank the developer for accommodating that interest so i am excited to see this project this will be they don't have class a they have class a office space i don't know what they call class a apartment space but this will definitely be among a class a apartment complex

specifically with regards to stipulation number three i'm just asking for confirmation and it sounds like miss collins addressed it uh with her response this evening that um we will have access for

license agreement for wired telecommunications service in the city of glendale right of way with crown castle fiber llc mayor members of the council here provide staff report is don bessler cap chief capital improvement officer thank you mr phelps mayor members of council this is a resolution that would authorize the city manager to execute an agreement with crown castle crown castle is an existing provider for telecom fiber services in glendale predominantly around the westgate area this license agreement would be a 10-year agreement would allow them to expand their network predominantly in investing in dark fiber which is a really good sign because dark fibers way for the industry to get out in front of the marketplace and provide that capacity to other customers as well as their own needs so that's the agreement that's before you and you're happy to answer any questions you have questions from the council go ahead thank you mayor i do have some questions for mr bessler we had a discussion yesterday about um coordinating with our pavement management plan um and i i thought we had had and you sent me an email about this today i thought we had a moratorium on digging up streets that we had just recently um done work on but we don't we don't apparently is that true yes mayor count councilmember tomlichoff i had when we spoke about that that that isn't an uncommon thing to have a moratorium on payment cutting glendale does not have that in code it is something that the transportation department and the engineering department are looking at hopefully to bring forward a proposal to you as you all know you spent a great amount of time trying to reinvigorate and reinvent your pavement management program it's only important that we make sure that we do everything we can to get out in front of the dry utilities that are also promulgating all all along our right of ways that's a it sounds very easy but it's a it's a big challenge we have about 16 different dry utilities that use the right of way one of the things that we're going to be doing though that i think is really going to help is we're going to start holding a utility summit we were hoping to do that in june obviously that that's not going to happen but as soon as we can and then we're going to take the five-year cip especially as it relates to our water sewer storm drain and street programs and lay that out for the different dry utilities so that they can have sort of a five-year glimpse of what the city's going to be looking at doing i think that's going to be a good way to message our interest in making sure that we're not going in right after a streets had some sort of a treatment and then you know ultimately ends up getting cut so that's our goal we're going to get more active about it and and to the extent we need to bring back legislation proposals for you we would be able to do that as well thank you mr bessler i'm pleased to hear that uh and then i i have a follow-up question uh one of the newest technologies right now is micro trenching i know that some people are excited about it some people aren't uh but uh my understanding is that it it literally is about a two inch wide swath 16 inches deep and it provides opportunities for the city to get the most current up-to-date uh optic fiber uh to to really make us competitive and so i i would i would hate to do something that would not allow that when it's the least intrusive i've seen so far as far as damage in our streets and the technology a two inch wide path that doesn't create major traffic jams it allows traffic to flow rather quickly and they're in and out quickly so with that said i hope that i hope that we look at that technology i know that there's some people not overly excited about it i do know that my role as chair of transportation and maricopa association of governments that is a technology that all the cities are looking at and there's a couple pilot programs going on right now that hopefully it proves uh hopefully as well thank you mayor come here go ahead on the same subject i know it's been a topic of conversation at the council in years past about uh about us being proactive about um laying conduit for uh for future fiber optic use and i don't know that we adopted any policy or created a directive on it but we have a lot going on in the city that could be creating opportunities for that and i would just like staff to be mindful of it if there's opportunities for us to get the conduit down now and then have them come back later and fill it up mayor council member turner thank you and yes we are are wired into that as a matter of fact when we did ballpark boulevard at the major intersections or where we think the future intersection is going to go we went ahead and put sleeves in the ground so that we could go ahead and pull wire or whatever needed to come through that at some point in the future that said the city has done an incredible job investing in telecom infrastructure and conduit all across the city so we coordinate with the transportation department to see where there's existing ductwork and where there's gaps as particularly on your arterial system the last thing we want to do is have to be cutting through an arterial so yes all right very good yeah i have no speaker cards on this item can i get a motion for resolution r20-87 item number 59 there good motion to approve i have number 59 resolution number r20-87 so i got a motion lots of excitement there uh motioned by council member old domino sacramento council

could you introduce resolution r20-88 item 60 resolution number r20-88 a resolution of the council of the city of glendale maricopa county arizona designating the city's chief financial officer for officially submitting the fiscal year 2020 expenditure limitation report to the arizona auditor general mayor members of the council here to provide staff report on item 60 and 61 is leset camacho our director of budget and finance good evening mayor members of the council this item is to add limitations and with that i'll be happy to answer any questions questions from the council saying none i have no speaker cards on this item i'm going to get a motion on resolution r20-88 item number 60. mayor our move we approve resolution 2088. second i have a motion council member hughes councilmember al doma to approve the recommended action for any discussion on this motion council of the city of glendale maricopa county arizona authorizing and directing the entering into of a grant agreement ermt-20-043 with the state of arizona office of the governor for acceptance and expenditure of the az cares fund program grant in the approximate amount of 28 million nine hundred seventy four thousand nine hundred ninety five dollars mayor members of the council this item is to adopt a resolution authorizing the city manager to accept funding in the amount of twenty eight million nine hundred seventy thousand 995 from the u.s department of the treasury coronavirus aid relief and economic security or the cares act this funding is also the ac cares fund established by the governor's office that concludes my presentation and i'll be happy to answer any questions you may counsel any questions uh mayor have a comment okay you want to wait till we go to vote for your comment okay i don't have any speaker cards on this item can i get a motion for resolution or 20-89 item number 61. mayor but i movie adopt resolution r28-89 authorizing the city manager to accept the arizona cares funding second from councilmember turner second council member clark to approve recommended action discussion on the motion mr miller you can do that now or you can do it when you vote i could do it now okay thank you you know i really appreciate the the government the federal government having given to the state government the monies for us to to be able to overcome some of the deficits that we have experienced because of the covet virus um you know the state uh received about a billion and a half dollars um and then some of the larger cities received money directly mesa phoenix tucson and uh they received money at the rate of 174 dollars per person in these in the smaller cities the state issued only 115 dollars per person and so um i'm going to urge our staff to continue to work with the governor's office and the state to see if there can be another round of funding for the city of glendale because this money has to be spent by the end of the year and the state felt like they needed to keep some of the money back to cover some of their i guess issues but my understanding is they can't be used for covering to backfill lost revenue but it can be used for other things and if by the middle of september if the federal the state government has not discovered what they're going to use that money for i think they need to be getting that back out to the cities so that we can utilize it because there's a lot of needs in the cities and with the people thank you mayor okay roll call vote council member al doma hi council member clerk how do you vote hi councilmember hugh how do you vote hi councilmember tomatrop how do you vote aye councilmember turner how do you vote hi vice mayor how do you vote hi and i'm going to explain my vote i think we'd all be nuts if we didn't take it so with that said i'm very happy to accept it i vote i motion carries unanimous can you introduce item 62 please item 62 resolution number r20-91 a resolution of the council of the city of glendale maricopa county arizona authorizing and directing the entering into of an intergovernmental agreement with maricopa county human services department to receive coronavirus relief funds from the coronavirus aid relief and economic security act cares act in the approximate amount of 300 nine hundred 339 three dollars mayor members of the council on a night where we have 62 items somebody in our staff got a chance to be here for the entire meeting for one presentation and that happened to be our interim director of community services gene moreno gene thank you mr phelps good evening mayor and council i'm happy to be tonight's closer um and this is actually some good news so maricopa county is setting aside approximately 30 million dollars in cares act funding for community action agencies to disseminate to qualified families specifically for rent and mortgage assistance programs the unique part about this agreement tonight before you is that under normal circumstances we don't typically receive funding from maricopa county but similar to what the vice mayor spoke about glendale did not receive some of the allocations that some of the other larger communities have so maricopa county did include glendale in their allocation so this iga would provide us with access to um for the record four point six or four million six hundred sixty four thousand eight hundred and fifty dollars there was a correction since the time i wrote that council report um and that funding would go directly to glendale residents up to 4 500 per household for rental mortgages assistance this iga is what provides us with administrative funding to pay for the staffing and equipment that's necessary to administer the program uh 339 thousand dollars or three hundred thirty nine thousand nine hundred and forty three dollars and with that i would be happy to answer any questions thank you questions hearing none i have no speaker cards on this item uh can i get a motion for resolution
