Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding Resolution No. 2360.  A Resolution of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Luis, Arizona, approving and adopting the Land Use Assumptions and Infrastructure Improvements Plan and declaring as a public record the document titled "Draft Land Use Assumptions, Infrastructure Improvements Plans, and Development Fee Report".  (Jose A. Guzman, Director of Development Services)

Municipalities in Arizona may assess development fees to offset the cost of providing necessary public services to accommodate new development. The development fees are based on the Land Use Assumptions (LUA) and Infrastructure Improvements Plan (IIP), which outline projected growth and the infrastructure required to support it. Development Fees are one-time payments used exclusively for system improvements and may not be used for operations, maintenance, replacement, or correcting existing deficiencies. These fees are paid when a building permit is issued and do not affect current residents. 

The City of San Luis contracted with TischlerBise to prepare the LUA, IIP, and update development fees to comply with Arizona law. 

LUA and IIP OVERVIEW:
The LUA and IIP are the principal planning documents needed to support changes to development fee assessments. The update to the LUA and IIP includes the following necessary public services: Fire, Parks and Recreation, Police, Street, Water, and Wastewater. 

The proposed IIP reflects current growth projections, updated cost estimates for infrastructure improvements, and adjustments to account for inflation. The methodology ensures that new development pays a proportionate share of infrastructure costs, keeping the development fees equitable and in compliance with A.R.S. § 9-463.05.

THIS RESOLUTION:
This resolution is for City Council to consider approval and adoption or disapproval of the Land Use Assumptions and Infrastructure Improvement Plan. In addition, it will declare the Draft Infrastructure Improvement Plan and Development Fee Report a public record. 

The attached Draft Infrastructure Improvement Plan and Development Fee Report has been on the city's website since January 16, 2025, and was part of the March 19, 2025, Special Meeting Agenda Packet.  Formally declaring it a public record will cause three (3) copies to be on file with the City Clerk to be available for public inspection and will allow the city to save on publication costs if the document is adopted as part of the Development Fee process.  

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Various departments collaborated with the consultant to develop this document. Staff recommends approval and adoption of Resolution No. 2360.
