City council members in Glendale, Ariz., unanimously approved the development of a self-storage facility, gas station and restaurant on a vacant 6-acre site. The land was rezoned from commercial offices and condominiums to a planned-area development. Its one of several infill projects being greenlit by the Glendale City Council. Infill sites are popular among developers because much of the infrastructure, including water and sewer, are already in place.
