Glendale City Council Approves Plan for Resort with 166 RV Spaces

Glendale, Arizona, is set to welcome a new upscale recreational vehicle resort community. The Glendale City Council unanimously approved plans for a project designed to attract visitors seeking a luxurious vacation destination within the city limits. The Glendale Recreational Vehicle Resort is poised to offer approximately 166 RV spaces, each equipped with modern amenities and surrounded by a gated community.

In an article published by The Glendale Star, Mayor Jerry Weiers expressed enthusiasm for the project, emphasizing its position in the local market. “I think that they’ve got a really remarkable product here,” said Weiers. 

“Short of going over to Mesa I don’t know where else to go to get the same thing. There’s nothing like this that I am aware of anywhere in the West Valley. It’s a way that we can keep people here, they can enjoy the shopping, the entertainment (and) spend their money in Glendale.”

The project’s approval came during a city council meeting, where a resolution was passed to amend the city’s general plan map and rezone the property to accommodate the proposed resort. 

Tabitha Perry, deputy director of development services, presented the plans, highlighting that each RV space will feature a 12×20 concrete pad for private guest use, complete with a tree and sewer connection. 

The layout also includes picnic areas and sitting spaces for every other RV spot, enhancing the communal atmosphere of the resort.

The resort’s design prioritizes a blend of luxury and convenience. Centralized amenities will include an on-site park host office residence, a convenience market, and a clubhouse featuring large-screen televisions and activity rooms equipped with Wi-Fi.

Guests will also have access to a resort-style swimming pool, a dog park, and a multi-use sports court. Additional facilities such as a community kitchen, laundry station, fitness center, and playgrounds for young children are also planned, catering to a diverse range of visitor needs.

Addressing potential concerns about long-term occupancy, the developers clarified that the resort is not intended for extended stays. Most visitors are expected to stay for less than 30 days.

To manage traffic flow efficiently, the resort will implement an automated check-in service with staggered arrival times. The development plan includes two entryways: a main entrance along 83rd Avenue and a secondary or emergency access point on Glendale Avenue, with no access proposed on Ocotillo Road.

The developers also showed commitment to addressing potential impacts on neighboring properties. Plans include the installation of perimeter walls and landscaping buffers to mitigate visual and noise effects.

Along the south property line, adjacent to single-family homes, a 25-foot open space buffer with columnar ficus trees and an eight-foot wall is proposed. Next to a mobile home park, the western boundary will feature a 10-foot buffer with similar trees and a six-foot block wall.
