SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION:

Summary Recommendation

Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Administrator to execute an agreement to defer City of Yuma development fees and water and sewer capacity charges for Desert Sands Unit No. 3 Subdivision, and to collect a $500.00 administrative fee for the deferral agreement. The effective length of the deferral agreement is for three years from date of execution. (Engineering) (David Wostenberg)

STRATEGIC OUTCOME:

This item supports the Council’s strategic outcome for Respected and Responsible in that it supports and assists the development community to continue providing quality growth within the City.

 

REPORT:

City Administration and staff previously met with the development community regarding local economic activity, particularly that of the construction industry, and determined to recommend to City Council that, upon payment of a $500.00 deferral fee to cover City costs associated with processing and tracking deferrals, for a period of three years, all development fees, along with sanitary sewer and water capacity charges, would be eligible for deferral until prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy. The eligibility for deferral is in accordance with the specific terms outlined in the proposed development agreement.

It is anticipated that deferring these development fees and capacity charges will help to stimulate economic activity and retain construction jobs. The deferral is accomplished in accordance with Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 9-463.05, through a development agreement.

Saguaro Desert Development, LLC has requested the deferral agreement for Desert Sands Unit No. 3 Subdivision described in the attached development agreement and corresponding location map.
