Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding Resolution No. 2285.  A resolution of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Luis, Arizona, removing property from the San Luis Port Subdivision Street Lighting Improvement District; declaring certain territory to be no longer benefited by inclusion within the district; amending the district boundaries to exclude such areas; and forming a new district, to be known as Los Mezquites Street Lighting Improvement District, out of the balance of the original district pursuant to A.R.S. §48-616(H).  (Jose A. Guzman, Director of Planning and Zoning)

On January 10, 2018, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021 creating the Street Lighting Improvement District (SLID) and Resolution No. 2022 creating the Enhanced Municipal Services District (EMSD) for the area known as San Luis Port Subdivision.

This subdivision was originally planned to be an industrial and commercial subdivision. When this subdivision was approved, as part of the regular process, new improvement districts were created, however, the subdivision was never constructed or recorded. The property was sold, and the new owner developed the land as commercial and residential. The new commercial area is known as Plaza Colibri Commercial Subdivision and the residential area is known as Los Mezquites Subdivision, which has multiple phases. 

This caused the improvement districts to cover residential and commercial properties. The proposed solution is to amend the boundaries of the original improvement district and align it with the residential area to be known as Los Mezquites Street Lighting Improvement District. This will remove the commercial area from the district since this property is now developed as Plaza Colibri Commercial Subdivision and has its own improvement districts created with the subdivision process (Resolution No. 2270 and 2272). 

The Street Lighting Improvement District adopted by Resolution No. 2021 will be amended by a new resolution pursuant to Arizona Revised Statute §48-616(H). "In the event an improvement district is formed that includes the construction and operation of street lighting facilities within all or any part of the territory of a district formed under this section, the governing body may by resolution summarily delete from the district formed under this section any area covered by a subsequently formed district and form a new district from the balance of the original district formed under this section."
