A. Staff presentation
B. Action on Subdivision Case No. 2019-0826F

SUMMARY:

SUMMARY:
The Magrino Industrial Park is located south of County 25th Street between Avenue E and Avenue D adjacent to the commercial port (San Luis II Port of Entry) and the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) inspection station.  The property is portion of Parcel ID No. 227-23-032 and 227-23-033.

The Magrino Industrial Park is a project that is being done in phases, this is the 3rd phase.  Phase No. 1 was approved by City Council on February 2012 and Phase No. 2 (Magrino Industrial Park Unit No. 2) was approved by City Council on December 9, 2014. 

The Magrino Industrial Park Unit No. 3 will consist of approximately 58.5 acres that are proposed to be divided into 1 tract and 13 lots, ranging in size from approximately 1 to 26 acres. 

The area north of County 25th Street is currently undeveloped. It is zoned with a mixture of Light Industrial (L-I) and Community Commercial (C-2).  The area to the east is zoned as Rural Area Residential (RA-10).  The Property to the west is zoned as Light Industrial (L-I) and is where Magrino Industrial Park Unit No. 2 is located. 

GENERAL PLAN:
The Land Use Map in the 2020 City of San Luis General Plan designates this area as Business and Industrial. These categories include all types of Commercial and Industrial Zoning Districts. The property is zoned as Light Industrial (L-I) which is one of the appropriate zoning districts in these land use categories. 

ANALYSIS:
In 2007, the Arizona Legislature adopted legislation that required municipalities to certify that all new subdivisions had an assured 100-year water supply. On February 11, 2011, the City of San Luis was designated by the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) as having a 100-year adequate water supply. Consequently, individual subdivisions do not have to submit additional certification. 

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
This item was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission during their regular meeting of January 14, 2020. The Commission recommended approval of the request with the condition that the applicant had to address all review comments on a letter dated January 13, 2020, prior to presenting this item to City Council.

DEFERMENT REQUEST:
On February 13, 2020, the applicant submitted a letter to request deferment of the following items:
  1. Defer requirement for the improvement of the roadway depicted as “future” south of Lot 2 until the next unit is developed.  This roadway may need to change as the Greater Yuma Port Authority (GYPA) in collaboration with Greater Yuma Economic Development Corporation (GYEDC) has recently courted other large industrial developments.  By not building this roadway now, maximum flexibility remains for constructing it to the needs of a future developer.  This will conservatively save approximately $300,000 in construction costs.
  2. Defer the extension of Port Authority Avenue to the southerly edge of Lot 1 until the next unit is developed. The roadway as currently proposed in construction plans provides the minimum required access to Lot 1 and Lot 2.  Any further extension of it really isn’t needed to access lots or improve the function of the development.  This will also provide similar savings, proportional to its length.
  3. Defer the construction of the eastern screen wall Lots 4 – 13 for up to two years or until each respective one-acre lot develops.  This wall will be built but the Greater Yuma Port Authority would like to generate some revenue from sales of lots to help support the cost of construction of this element.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Subdivision Case No. 2019-0826F with the following conditions:
  1. No building permits or other forms of approvals for development of the properties identified on the Plat for the subdivision known Magrino Industrial Park Unit No. 3 as Tract B or Unit No. 3 shall occur until provision is made for the completion of Port Authority Avenue and the development of a road and other related public improvements, including, but not limited to, appropriate dedications and development of utility services, connecting Port Authority Avenue to Ave. D in a manner that is satisfactory to the City and in conformance to the Public Works Standards of the City of San Luis.
  2. The owner agrees to abide by all City of San Luis codes and regulations related to development that is in effect at the time of City Council approval on any future phases of this subdivision and will pay all city fees related to the development on the Property. 
  3. The construction of the eastern screen wall for the parcels identified as Lots 4 – 13 on the Plat for the subdivision known Magrino Industrial Park Unit No. 3 shall be deferred until March 1, 2022 by which time it shall be constructed.  Performance of this condition shall be secured by the financial assurances for the warranty period for the public improvements for the subdivision known Magrino Industrial Park Unit No. 3.
  4. These conditions are in addition to all applicable City codes, rules, fees, and regulations.

I MOVE TO APPROVE SUBDIVISION CASE NO. 2019-0826F WITH CONDITIONS AS PRESENTED BY STAFF.
