A full house packed the council chambers June 27 to voice their displeasure over possible changes to the StoneHaven development, with councilmembers listening, before voting to approve the changes to the project’s general plan.
The measure passed as council approved the changes 5-2, with Councilmembers Joyce Clark and Ray Malnar voting against, while Mayor Jerry Weiers, Vice-Mayor Ian Hugh and Councilmembers Bart Turner, Lauren Tolmachoff and Jaime Aldama voted in favor.
“All of us on council were elected to represent all citizens of Glendale and make no bones about it, when Arrowhead residents came here and wanted no billboards, or not to sell Foothill Library, they were heard,” Clark said. “The addition of 200 homes increases the economic impact and only extends it, not makes it new, because the economic impact has been there since the beginning.”
In April 2016, Glendale City Council unanimously approved the original StoneHaven project, which would bring 1,161 single-family homes near Camelback Road and 91st Avenue. Now, Pulte is asking for an adjustment to the project. The original project placed a minimum lot size at 5,500 square feet and Pulte is asking to reduce the minimum size to 4,000 square feet.
