Glendale to consider improvement districts in Tuesday meeting
Posted
Independent Newsmedia
Glendale City Council will discuss whether to use public money to improve infrastructure in specific areas in its workshop 12:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Glendale Civic Center, 5750 W. Glenn Drive.
The city is considering whether to create revitalization and/or improvement districts, which allow Glendale to issue bonds to pay for infrastructure improvements in that district.
Council and city officials have not said yet which areas they might target for these districts but they are trying to establish policies and procedures on the formation of each district type before implementing them. In most cases, bonds for these districts can be financed at municipal or tax-exempt rates.
In its Tuesday workshop, City Council also will discuss the possible annexation of a 260-acre property at the southeast corner of Reems Road and Northern Avenue called Reems Ranch. Council will not vote on the annexation Tuesday.
In its 5:30 p.m. voting meeting Tuesday, also at the Glendale Civic Center, Council will vote on several general plan and zoning changes that would pave way for the construction of an apartment complex northwest of Loop 101 and Bell Road, an apartment complex and small commercial center southwest of 107th and Northern avenues and a mix of residential, office and commercial uses southeast of 83rd and Glendale Avenues.
