SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Summary Recommendation

end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
This action supports the City Council’s strategic outcomes of Safe and Prosperous and Respected and Responsible by updating the current Development Fees, the Infrastructure Improvements Plan, and the Land Use Assumptions for the North Service Area and the South Service Area.
REPORT:
The City must update the Development Impact Fee Study, consisting of Land Use Assumptions, (LUA), the Infrastructure Improvements Plan (IIP), and Development Fees every five years prior to the adoption or amendment of development fees. Arizona Revised Statutes § 9-463.05 defines LUA as projections of changes in land uses, densities, intensities and population for a specified service area over a period of at least ten years and pursuant to the general plan of the municipality. The IIP is a written plan that identifies each necessary public service or facility expansion that is proposed to be the subject of a development fee.
The service areas under consideration are:
- the North Service Area, which includes the portion of the City north of 56th Street (County 14th Street), and
- the South Service Area, that portion of the City south of 56th Street (County 14th Street).
The South Service Area does not currently assess development fees and is increasingly subject to piecemeal development by property owners, instead of the large cohesive development as originally anticipated.
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) were initiated to obtain responses to the solicitation. The evaluation committee, comprised of City staff, reviewed and rated the proposals received, based on the RFQ scoring matrix.
The City received three responses from highly qualified firms whose experience includes projects in communities within the state.
The cost of the update will be paid from fees previously collected for that purpose.
