CITY MULLS LETTING COLLEGE REPLACE COST PLUS STORE.Byline: Naush Boghossian Staff Writer GLENDALE Glendale. 1 City (1990 pop. 148,134), Maricopa co., S central Ariz., adjacent to Phoenix; inc. 1910. It is located in a rich agricultural region irrigated by the Salt River project. Glendale has become one of the fastest-growing U.S. - The city is considering allowing a private vocational school to move to the space on Brand Boulevard that a Cost Plus store vacated two years ago. Glendale Career College, which provides health care training to 370 students, wants to move from its current space at 1015 Grandview Ave AVE Avenue AVE Average AVE Alta Velocidad Espanola (train between Madrid and Seville) AVE Alta Velocidad Española (Spanish: High Speed Train) AVE Audio Video Entertainment AVE Advertising Value Equivalent . into the 35,000-square-foot site at California California (kăl'ĭfôr`nyə), most populous state in the United States, located in the Far West; bordered by Oregon (N), Nevada and, across the Colorado River, Arizona (E), Mexico (S), and the Pacific Ocean (W). Street and Brand Boulevard. The college would need an additional 200 parking spaces, so has asked the city for permission to use the Orange Street garage. ``We're looking at it as a wonderful opportunity to go back to downtown Glendale, where we started in 1946,'' said campus director Tim O'Neil. ``We're looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment.

O'Neil anticipates relocating this summer. However, some city officials are concerned that a college wouldn't fit with their goal of creating a vital retail center on Brand Boulevard. ``We've got a concern that a career college does not provide the kind of pedestrian A pedestrian is a person travelling on foot, whether walking or running.

A few blocks south of the potential school site, Java City officials confirmed they will be closing the popular coffeehouse on May 13 after 10 years of business. ``Unfortunately, our lease was up and it just didn't make financial sense for us to stay there,'' said Nick Tucker, vice president of marketing for Java City.
