Executive Summary:
Recent Spruce Wash flooding has created parking and access issues for residents on Grandview Drive. The City owns the 60,079 Square foot unimproved property at 3050 N West St., South of Grandview Drive (Assessor Parcel Number 109-02-001P). This ordinance dedicates a 1,988 square foot public access easement on the City-owned property which will provide alternative access to adjacent residences provided the adjacent owners build and maintain the improvements within the public access easement. This would be used as alternate access to the residential properties located at 1131 E Linda Vista Dr., 3513 N Grandview Dr., and 3509 N Grandview Dr. (APN 109-04-015, 014, and 013).
Should the eventual development of the City parcel require modification of this easement, the City has retained the right to relocate the easement within the City parcel provided that access to the adjacent owners is maintained.

Has There Been Previous Council Decision on This:
There have been several prior council discussions regarding the City-owned property:
On July 7, 2017 the City Council approved the Housing Section's Request for Proposals for the development of this parcel for multi-family affordable housing.
On September 12, 2017 the City Council provided direction to staff to pursue a Concept Zoning Map Amendment on this parcel for the purpose of developing multi-family affordable housing.
On January 2, 2018 City Council approved both zoning map amendment requests with conditions.
On March 14, 2018 the City entered into a Purchase Agreement to sell the parcel to Brinshore Development.
The developer determined it could not meet the low income tax credit development timeline; the purchase agreement was never consummated and the City still retains ownership of the parcel.
