Motion
ITEM:
Discussion and possible action on any and all matters to amend the conditions of approval for Subdivision Case No. 2024-0206F - Los Mezquites Unit 4 Subdivision (Edais Engineering, Inc., for Riedel Holdings LLC) as approved on October 9, 2024. (Jose A. Guzman, Director of Development Services)
SUMMARY:
On October 9, 2024, Council approved Los Mezquites Unit 4 Final Plat with a set of conditions that reflected the City’s priorities at the time, including a condition acknowledging the developer’s voluntary proposal to add recreational amenities. This was before Council finalized its updated Development Impact Fees ("DIF"), which became effective September 22, 2025.
Council’s adoption of the new DIF schedule, which includes a Neighborhood and Pocket Parks component, has since created a standardized way to fund the very amenities contemplated for Los Mezquites Unit 4. To keep the project in full compliance with Council’s adopted policy and state law, staff is recommending removal of the amenities condition now, before construction reaches that stage.
This change does not eliminate the possibility of amenities being built. Rather, it prevents overlapping obligations and ensures amenities are delivered in the way the Council has chosen, through the Parks Department using DIF funds.
