|||||
Executive Summary: | |||||
In 2010 the City received a Transportation Enhancement Grant for the construction of the Fourth Street Trail as part of the Flagstaff Urban Trails System (FUTS). This is a federal grant administered through the Arizona Department of Transportation, and will expire June 2018. In order to construct the trail the City must first acquire property rights from private property owners adjacent to Fourth Street. Ordinance No. 2017-29 authorizes City Staff to acquire property as right-of-way or as an easement. The City of Flagstaff has identified the specific parcels of land for the extension of the Flagstaff Urban Trail along N. Fourth Street attached in Exhibit A. | |||||
Financial Impact: | |||||
In 2010 the City received federal grant money in the amount of $650,000 for a Transportation Enhancement grant for the Fourth Street FUTS Trail. The City local match is $40,000. This money will be used to construct the trail. City funds will be used for the property acquisitions needed. The project has been budgeted for FY 2018, Account No: 403-09-421-3247-5-4431 Project No: GG3247-3029 |

Has There Been Previous Council Decision on This: | |||||
Yes, Ordinance No. 2009-41 passed and adopted December 15, 2009. This Ordinance authorizes City Staff to acquire easements that have been identified in the Flagstaff Urban Trail System Master Plan. The Fourth Street FUTS trail is identified in the Master Plan. The proposed Ordinance No. 2017-29 provides a broader scope of authority to acquire specific property needed for the Fourth Street FUTS trail. | |||||
Options and Alternatives: | |||||
Approve Ordinance 2017-29 and authorize City Staff to acquire the property rights necessary for the extension of the Flagstaff Urban Trail. | |||||
Background and History: | |||||
In May 2004 the voters of the City of Flagstaff approved a bond measure for neighborhood open space and Flagstaff Urban Trail System Land acquisition in the amount of $7.6 million. In 2010 the City received a Transportation Enhancement Grant for the construction of the Fourth Street FUTS Trail. This is a federal grant administered through the Arizona Department of Transportation, and will expire June 2018. Three other roadway projects are planned along this section of Fourth Street: the City of Flagstaff and the Arizona Department of Transportation are planning a joint project to reconstruct and widen the Fourth Street Bridges over Interstate 40; the City has anticipated widening Fourth Street from a three-lane roadway to a five-lane roadway, and the City has plans to raise and reconstruct the intersection of Fourth Street and Butler Avenue. All three of these projects have been considered and taken into account when evaluating the alignment for the extension of the Fourth Street FUTS Trail. |
|||||
Key Considerations: | |||||
The 2010 Transportation and Enhancement Grant will expire in June 2018. The City must act quickly with regards to this project and acquire the necessary property rights for the project or the City risks losing the grant funding. | |||||

Kaspar Drive, and to record a new waterline easement at the property, and establishing an effective date. (Abandonment of waterline easement, and recording corrected waterline easement ) | |||||

|||||
Executive Summary: | |||||
A Waterline Easement was granted to the City of Flagstaff, Arizona, a municipal corporation in Docket 172, Pages 385-386, Records of Coconino County Arizona. The legal description is incorrect and does not follow the actual waterline. A survey of the actual waterline has been performed and a new legal description has been created to identify the correct location of the waterline. The City has obtained a new easement from the current property owner with the correct legal description of the waterline and will record such waterline easement in place of the abandonment. | |||||

|||||
Has There Been Previous Council Decision on This: | |||||
No | |||||
Options and Alternatives: | |||||
Adopt the Ordinance to abandon the waterline easement in Docket 172, Pages 385-386 and replace with a new waterline easement on the property. |
|||||
Background and History: | |||||
The City received the waterline easement on June 2, 1901, from Land Title and Trust Company, an Arizona Corporation and recorded in Docket 172, Page 385-386. The Water line Easement was for the purpose of installing, constructing, maintaining, operating, inspecting a repairing a waterline or lines lying beneath the surface of the property. The legal description reference in the document does not accurately describe the physical location of the waterline. The property was recently surveyed by the private property owner. The property owner presented an ALTA Survey to the City which showed that easement was located under the building. City staff reviewed the survey and confirmed that what was shown on the ALTA Survey was not the actual location of the waterline. The actual location of the waterline is on the east property line. The City obtained a survey to confirm the easement's location. | |||||
Key Considerations: | |||||
It is important for a legal description to accurately describe the physical location of the City's waterline. By approving this ordinance the City will abandon the easement with the incorrect legal description and record the easement with the correct legal description identifying the actual easement location. This will create an accurate record of the location of City infrastructure. | |||||

Consideration and Adoption of Ordinance No. 2018-02: An ordinance of the Flagstaff City Council formally accepting specific real property interests and establishing an effective date. (Acceptance of real property) | |||||
STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION: | |||||
At the December 19, 2017, Council Meeting:
1) Read Ordinance No. 2018-02 by title only for the first time 2) City Clerk reads Ordinance No. 2018-02 by title only (if approved above) At the January 2, 2018, Council Meeting: 3) Read Ordinance No. 2018-02 by title only for the final time 4) City Clerk reads Ordinance No. 2018-02 by title only (if approved above) 5) Adopt Ordinance No. 2018-02 |
|||||
Executive Summary: | |||||
The City regularly acquires real property interests (such as deeds transferring property in fee simple and easements) during the development review process. Typically these real property interests are acquired by dedication or donation. These acquisitions may be for drainage, utilities, the urban trails system, slopes, rights-of-way or other public purposes. The City Charter, in Article VII Section 5, requires the City to acquire real property by ordinance. This ordinance will formally accept the real property interests donated, dedicated, or otherwise acquired by City. | |||||
Financial Impact: | |||||
Real property is considered a fixed asset in the City. Until City Council approves an ordinance accepting the acquisitions, the real property value is not recognized in an audit so while there is not an actual financial expenditure associated with these acquisitions, there is a fixed asset value the City receives through this action. |

TRANSPORTATION AND OTHER PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE Deliver quality community assets and continue to advocate and implement a highly performing multi-modal transportation system. |
|||||
Has There Been Previous Council Decision on This: | |||||
On October 18, 2016 the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2016-36 formally accepting previous dedications and donations of real property interests. The Real Estate Program has performed an audit since that date and determined that the properties listed in Exhibit A should be formally accepted by the City. The City Council has previously approved acquisition of some of the properties listed in Exhibit A, either by resolution or ordinance. By approving Ordinance No. 2018-02, the City Council will formally accept all the property interests identified in Exhibit A as City inventory. | |||||
Options and Alternatives: | |||||
1. Adopt Ordinance No. 2018-02 and formally accept the real property interests. Pros: Formally accept property interests identified to service community needs, per the Charter. Cons: None. 2. Do not adopt Ordinance No. 2018-02. In this case the City would need to transfer real property interests back to the Grantors. Pros: None identified. Cons: This would result in loss of legal rights to use properties for utilities, trails, drainage and other public purposes. |
|||||
Background and History: | |||||
The City acquires real property interests when developments progress through the permitting and review process. These property interests may be easements for a specific purpose such as a utility line or a drainage area, or may be interests in fee simple acquired by deed for public rights-of-way, open space, or land received in the land trust program. | |||||
Key Considerations: | |||||
Real property interests are acquired throughout the year by donation and dedication necessary to achieve the Council and Regional Plan goals and to ensure utilities, roads, and specialized area are properly protected. All real property must be acquired by ordinance per the City Charter. There is a due diligence process that each acquisition goes through to ensure it is donated or dedicated properly and that the City's interests are protected. These acquisitions are necessary for the provision of services as the community grows and the liability assumed is consistent with these same real property rights throughout the community. | |||||
Community Involvement: | |||||
The Flagstaff community will benefit from acquisition of real property interests that are used by and serve community needs. | |||||

Public Hearing, Consideration and Adoption of Ordinance No. 2017-30: An ordinance of the City of Flagstaff amending Title 12, Floodplains of the City Code, by amending Chapter 12-02-002-00033 “Schedule of Stormwater Management Utility Service Charges and Fees” by City Council of Flagstaff, Arizona adopting the “2017 Amendments to the Flagstaff City Code, Title 12, Chapters 12-02, Stormwater Management Utility," to update Stormwater Service Charges (Rates). | |||||
STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION: | |||||
1) Read Ordinance No. 2017-30 by title only for the final time
2) City Clerk reads Ordinance No. 2017-30 by title only (if approved above) 3) Adopt Ordinance No. 2017-30 |
|||||
Executive Summary: | |||||
This action adopts an ordinance increasing Stormwater service charges (rates) to $2.26 per equivalent runoff unit (ERU) for three years and then reducing the service charge to $1.76 per ERU. An equivalent runoff unit equals 1,500 square feet of impervious area on a property. A Stormwater service charge increase is necessary to adequately fund capital improvement projects contained in the Stormwater five year plan.. | |||||
Financial Impact: | |||||

The City Council reviewed this proposal in detail at the Council Work Session on November 14, 2017. A public hearing and first read of the ordinance was held on December 5, 2017. |
|||||
Options and Alternatives: | |||||
Adopt Ordinance No. 2017-30 as proposed. Amend and adopt Ordinance No. 2017-30 and direct staff to modify the capital improvement plan and drainage maintenance program. Do not adopt Ordinance No. 2017-30 which would delay capital improvement projects and reduce the drainage maintenance program. |

Background and History: | |||||
Over the last several years, the Rio de Flag Flood Control Project has been on hold due to lack of Federal funding to complete the final design of the project. This past spring, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) received funding to complete the design project. USACE is actively seeking to retain a firm to complete the design plans and construction documents. There is a Federal-local funding match requirement for this work. The City of Flagstaff (City) will be required to pay the USACE $1.75M upon their completion of final design. We expect they will ask for the funding summer 2018. To maintain the Stormwater Fund over the next three fiscal years, we will need to increase revenues approximately $2.0M. The Stormwater Fund does not have the capacity to fund these expenditures. Stormwater would need to eliminate the current Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for multiple years as well as reduce the drainage maintenance program. Stormwater has a current CIP budget of $600,000 per year and drainage maintenance of about $300,000 per year. This limited CIP funding is being used to fix other flooding problems throughout the City. The proposed Stormwater rate increase intends to fill the short-term funding needs for Stormwater Fund so that we can maintain the CIP and drainage maintenance, as well short-term funding for the Rio de Flag project. Therefore, to meet the short-term funding needs of this important project, a Stormwater Rate Increase is being pursued. |

The applicant, Mogollon Engineering and Surveying, Inc., is requesting final plat approval to subdivide Tract A of the Presidio in the Pines master planned development into 42 single-family residential townhome lots on approximately 4.8 acres located at 2884 W Presidio Drive within the Highway Commercial (HC) zone. In accordance with the Development Master Plan (DMP), Tract A was intended to be developed as a 232-unit multi-family residential condominium complex with an overall building height of 4- and 5-stories (60-feet) and limited commercial along the ground floor. Residential development is permitted within the Highway Commercial (HC) zoning district either as a mixed-use project, as originally proposed in the DMP, or as a Planned Residential Development with the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) by the Planning Commission. The Planned Residential Development option allows the property owner to propose a wide range of residential development in accordance with the Zoning Code. The property owner, based on current market conditions and existing surrounding uses, is proposing the development of 42 single-family residential townhome lots. A CUP application to allow the establishment of a Planned Residential Development within the Highway Commercial (HC) zone was reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission on January 11, 2017 with the following three conditions:

Background and History: | |||||
The Applicant, the City of Flagstaff Housing Section, on behalf of the property owner, the City of Flagstaff, is requesting a concept zoning map amendment to rezone approximately 0.86 acres from the Public Facility (PF) zone to the Medium Density Residential (MR) zone while maintaining the existing Resource Protection Overlay (RPO), for the purpose of developing affordable multi-family residential development. If the property is rezoned, the Housing Section will pursue a process by which an affordable multifamily residential project is delivered by a successful respondent to a Request for Proposals (RFP). The Housing Section put out an RFP for a Scattered Site Affordable Housing development on August 14, 2017. It is anticipated that the successful respondent to the RFP will begin their site planning process as City staff takes the concept rezoning cases through the public hearing process. City staff will require that as part of the developer’s site plan application, a neighborhood meeting will be held. The site plan application will also be required to be approved by the City Council. This will allow the community an opportunity to review the proposed building design, exterior building elevations, parking layout, outdoor lighting, and site landscaping prior to approval. These elements are not required to be part of the concept rezoning process. |
|||||
Key Considerations: | |||||
The Concept Zoning Map Amendment process does not require final site plan, building floor plans, exterior building elevations, final landscaping plans, or exterior lighting plans. This information will be provided as part of the Site Plan Review Application, and once approved by the IDS process, will come before City Council for approval. | |||||

In this case, a notice was mailed to all property owners within 600 feet of the site. The applicant held a neighborhood meeting in regards to this case. The meeting was held on Monday, October 23, 2017 at 5:30 pm in the dance room at Hal Jensen Community Center, located at 2403 N Izabel Street. Approximately five people from the public attended. The primary concern raised was the amount of parking. City staff stated that the parking concerns would be relayed to the developer, and would be reviewed when they submit for Site Plan Review. A Citizen Participation Report was prepared in relation to the comments and concerns presented dated November 8, 2017. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public meeting on Thursday, November 30, 2017. At the public hearing, one member of the public spoke on the subject case.

The Zoning Code was adopted by the City Council on November 1, 2011 to replace the former Land Development Code. A key difference between the Zoning Code and the Land Development Code was the inclusion of a development option utilizing Transect zoning, which is only available to those properties within the established Downtown Regulating Plan area. A map depicting the Downtown Regulating Plan area is attached for reference. Since its adoption, approximately 10 projects have been developed/approved under Transect zoning. Based on some recent development, the City Council, along with a citizen petition, have requested that the Transect zoning standards be analyzed and amendments be presented that will more adequately integrate new development, especially Commercial Block buildings, into existing neighborhoods.
At their October 27, 2017 meeting, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the following amendments:

The City Council has identified Affordable Housing in the 2017 -2019 Council Goals. City Council identified three City Properties, the "Scattered Sites", that could be developed for affordable housing. These properties have been presented to Council on various occasions through City Work Sessions. City Charter, Article VIII, Sections 9 and 10 require the Council to authorize the sale or lease of City property and prescribes the necessary steps to accomplish. As the City anticipates bringing either a lease agreement or a purchase and sale agreement to Council in January 2018, this authority is needed in a timely manner to continue to facilitate the development of these sites. Ordinance No. 2018-06 will authorize the sale or lease of the City Property for Affordable Housing. |
