ITEM:

Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding Subdivision Case No. 2018-0634F. A request by Vega and Vega Engineering PLC, on behalf of Comite de Bienestar Inc., property owner, for the final plat approval for Bienestar Estates Condominiums to be located at 495 N. Janet Napolitano Boulevard, San Luis, Arizona.

A. Staff presentation
B. Action on Subdivision Case No. 2018-0634F

BACKGROUND:

The property is located on the east mesa of the City of San Luis. It is located within Bienestar Estates 9B Subdivision. Bienestar Estates 9B is a single-family residential subdivision zoned as Medium-High Density Residential (R-2). 

This property was originally designated as Tract B, usually tracts are intended for public purpose such as parks or retention basins. 

This proposed project is to develop the land as a condominium complex with 12 units and common areas.

GENERAL PLAN:
This area is designated as Neighborhood in the City of San Luis 2020 General Plan. The activities proposed will be consistent with that designation (Chapter 2, Page 19-20). The Neighborhood Land Use designation allows all types of residential development.

ANALYSIS:

As mentioned in the review comments sent out to the applicant’s engineer on December 24, 2018; the creation of condominiums is subject to Arizona Revised Statutes Title 33 Chapter 9 Article 2. 

In 2007, the Arizona Legislature adopted legislation that required municipalities to certify that all new subdivision 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.

SUMMARY:

The applicant has substantially provided the information and materials necessary for review of Final Plat for Bienestar Estates Condominiums.

Review comments were sent out to the applicant’s engineer on December 24, 2018. Staff has not received the revised plans, however, in an effort to be proactive and be more development friendly, staff recommends approval of the final plat for Subdivision Case No. 2018-0634F. Approval subject to the condition that before presenting this item to City Council, the applicant must address the following comments: 
  1. The Final Plat shall be presented to City Council when all conditions of approval have been met. The property-owner shall provide the City Department of Planning and Zoning with check made out to the Yuma County Recorder for appropriate amount.
  2. The applicant must address, as noted, the review comments (12-24-18) attached prior to presenting the final plat before the City Council.

RECOMMENDED MOTION:

I MOVE TO FORWARD SUBDIVISION CASE NO. 2018-0634F WITH AN APPROVAL RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL. RECOMMENDATION SUBJECT TO THE ATTACHED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.
