Summary
On Sept. 25, 2025, the Glendale Planning Commission recommended approval of the preliminary plat for Legacy Place Phase 2, a 151-lot single-family subdivision on about 35 acres, subject to a stipulation requiring substantial conformance with the submitted preliminary plat and narrative.
GLENDALE, Ariz. — On Sept. 25, 2025, the Glendale Planning Commission recommended approval of PP2501, the preliminary plat for Legacy Place Phase 2, a 151-lot single-family subdivision on roughly 35 acres at the southeast corner of 70 Fifth Avenue and Northern Avenue.
Staff findings and project scope
Planning staff said the site is zoned R-16 PRD (planned residential development) and is part of the Legacy Place PRD. The Phase 2 proposal would create 151 single-family lots, bringing the combined lot total for Legacy Place phases 1 and 2 to 420 lots, and would include a centralized park (Tract C), landscape tracts and varied lot sizes ranging from 4,800 to 6,250 square feet. Staff advised that the subdivision met applicable provisions in the residential design and development manual and the Legacy Place PRD narrative and recommended approval subject to a stipulation that development be in substantial conformance with the preliminary plat stamped 08/19/2025 and the narrative dated 03/21/2025.
Coordination and applicant remarks
Staff noted the developer coordinated driveway alignments with the adjacent site across 70 Third Avenue as requested during review. Joshua Robinson of Colliers Engineering and Design, the applicant representative, said the phase is the last phase for the Legacy Place project in Glendale and that the units are single-family homes for sale, not rental properties. Robinson said, “this is actually pretty exciting” and confirmed the product will be single-family.
Vote and next steps
Commissioner John Gears moved to approve PP2501 subject to the stipulation in the staff report; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call. The planning commission’s action is final unless a written appeal is filed within 15 days. Staff said the next steps will follow normal plat processing and any required coordination with infrastructure and adjacent developments.
