One of the stipulations requires the execution of a development agreement between the city and the developer within 24 months of City Council approval of this change of zone and prior to final site plan approval and issuance of any grading and drainage permits. The development agreement will outline the requirements for initial improvements to Sonoran Desert Drive, as well as financial contributions for the ultimate buildout of Sonoran Desert Drive. Staff recommends a continuance of all of the items to the July 1, 2022 City Council Formal meeting to allow additional time to finalize the site specific development agreement and to finalize the north area Sonoran Desert Drive Funding Policy for the City Council to adopt concurrently with the site specific planning and zoning items. These items need to happen concurrently as both are necessary to address the impacts to Sonoran Desert Drive as this property and all the other vacant land develops in this northern area of Phoenix.
