Sprawling Glendale entertainment resort passes zoning hurdle

Glendale’s planning and zoning commission has recommended approval for the new development zoning for the sprawling VAI Resort, as well as giving the nod to a general plan amendment for the $1 billion project.

The approvals were given at the commission’s Oct. 24 meeting following a discussion about how the traffic flow and parking is going to operate at the resort, which is spread across nearly 70 acres.
