This industrial subdivision will contain approximately 40 acres and will consist of five industrial lots.  The lots range in size from 4 acres to 14 acres.  Assessor's Parcel Number 227-11-006, 007 and 008. 

GENERAL PLAN:
On October 12, 2021, the City Council approved Major Amendment Case No. 2021-0335, changing the land use designation of the subject properties from Employment (EMP) to Commercial (C).  The existing zoning district is Light Industrial (LI) and the City of San Luis 2040 General Plan recommends light industrial uses within enclosed buildings in the commercial land use designation.

PRE-ANNEXATION DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT:
These properties are part of the Pre-Annexation Development Agreement San Luis Port II Industrial Park, approved by Resolution No. 936, that requires the construction of sidewalks along Avenue D.  The applicant is currently requesting an amendment to the pre-annexation development agreement to remove the requirement for the construction of the sidewalks along Avenue D.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the final plat for Southwest Industrial Subdivision Phase 2 on October 25, 2022, with the condition that the applicant had to address some pending comments, including the proposed amendment to the pre-annexation agreement.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The applicant has provided the information and materials necessary for the review of the final plat for the Southwest Arizona Industrial Subdivision Phase 2.

Staff recommends approval of the final plat with the condition that an amendment to the existing pre-annexation development agreement is approved by the City Council to remove the construction of sidewalks along Avenue D as proposed by the applicant. However, if no amendment to the pre-annexation agreement is approved, then the applicant will have to provide sidewalks along Avenue D. Therefore, the recommended motion will allow the applicant to move forward with the project whether the amendment to the pre-annexation agreement is approved or not.
