Subject:

Final Adoption of Ordinance No. 5090 Granting a Non-Exclusive Underground High Voltage Power Easement to Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District (SRP)

Proposed Motion:

Move City Council adopt Ordinance No. 5090 granting a non-exclusive underground high voltage power easement to SRP, in consideration of the payment of four thousand ($4,000) dollars, to accommodate the development of the Aligned Data Center facility at Price Road and Continuum Street.

Background:

Aligned Data Centers (Continuum) PropCo, LLC, is developing a 17.27-acre site located on the east side of Price Road, west of Ellis Street, and in between Continuum and Innovation streets. The site will be developed in two phases and feature a 396,343 square foot building covering both phases. In addition, the site will also feature a new SRP substation, site improvements, and site landscaping. To accommodate the development, it is necessary for the city to grant SRP a non-exclusive underground high voltage power easement across Continuum Street to provide power to the site. Currently, all permits are approved by the city and the building is operating under a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy pending the permanent power being delivered to the site. Aligned Data Centers has agreed to pay the city $4,000 for the easement.

Staff has reviewed and approved the easement document, valuation, and legal descriptions.

This Ordinance was introduced and tentatively adopted on April 18, 2024.

Financial Implications:

The city will receive payment of $4,000 for granting the easement.
