SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Summary Recommendation

Authorize an agreement to defer City of Yuma development fees and water and sewer capacity charges for Desert Sky Unit No. 3 Subdivision, and to collect a $500.00 administrative fee for the three-year deferral agreement. (David Wostenberg) (Engineering)

 

end

 

STRATEGIC OUTCOME:

This item supports City 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 State Statute (A.R.S. § 9-463.05), through a development agreement.

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