Agenda Item Text:
Approve an extension request of the Assurance Agreement for Kings Ranch at Coronado Subdivision with Pioneer Title Agency, Inc, as Trustee under Trust No. 321365 and K Ranch, LLC as beneficiary of Trust No. 321365, effective through February 14, 2030.
Background:
A request has been received from K Ranch, LLC for an extension of the Assurance Agreement for completion of subdivision improvements for the Kings Ranch at Coronado Subdivision, Phases 2B thru 6. (Supervisor District 1)
The Kings Ranch at Coronado Subdivision consists of 303 lots on 840 acres located along SR 92. The subdivision is zoned RU-4, located within the Southern San Pedro Valley Area Plan and Sierra Vista Sub-Watershed. This is a residential conservation subdivision with 426 acres or 50.7% of the total land designated as a conservation easement.
The Amended Final Plat for Kings Ranch at Coronado and Assurance Agreement were approved by the BOS on February 14, 2012. The Assurance agreement was extended in March 2018 to February 14, 2021. This extension request, if approved, will cover the lapse and extend the agreement for five additional years to February 14, 2030.
The BOS approved amendments to Section 4.18.020 Assurance Agreements in the Subdivision Regulations which include five factors that the Board may consider in their decision to grant an Assurance Agreement extension. The following responses are provided in bold italics for this request:
1. Whether the property taxes on the subject parcel(s) are current. Yes, verified by staff.
2. If the subdivision is phased, whether the subdivision infrastructure improvements for at least 20% of the proposed phases have been completed. If it is not phased, whether at least 25% of the subdivision infrastructure improvements have been completed. There are 6 phases in this project. Two phases have been completed; 160 lots have been released to date. This represents 53% completion of the subdivision improvements.
3. The number of extensions previously granted. A maximum of three extensions, not exceeding a total of ten (10) years since either the original approval of the assurance agreement or the most recent release of a lot, whichever has occurred later. One previous extension was granted in February 2018.
4. The economic conditions or other circumstances that are affecting the developer’s ability to complete subdivision improvements. The original Kinjockity Ranch subdivision was approved in 2006 and then sold in 2008. In 2010, a foreclosure notice was recorded, and the property was sold to K Ranch LLC. The amended subdivision plat for Kings Ranch at Coronado was approved in 2012. While the slow economy has been a factor in past years, recent lot sales have improved and there are new homes under construction in the subdivision.
5. Has the character of the area or physical factors such as drainage, floodplain, water issues or circulation patterns changed significantly since plat approval that compliance with current County Subdivision and/or Zoning Regulations is necessary? No
