The Glen Lakes Golf Course in Glendale, at one time, was a desired destination for West Valley golfers. It officially will be removed in favor of new housing, as the land now is a desired destination for developers.
The city council at its Oct. 13 meeting at the Glendale Civic Center, 5750 W. Glenn Drive, approved a resolution by a 6-1 vote to amend the city’s general plan map and to redesignate zoning for the golf course from agricultural to planned residential development, which will make way for Trevino at Glen Lakes, a 173-home community on the site’s 42.8 acres.
“We were drawn to the site because we were excited about the opportunity to build and provide a new home option in an established neighborhood with strong community ties, and the great freeway access to that area is amazing as well,” said Sue Weber, director of marketing for Towne Development, which purchased the land from the city for $6.5 million this past December.
