RESOLUTION NO. 12522 
 
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MESA, ARIZONA, 
APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER 
INTO A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN WS HOLDINGS I, 
LLC AND THE CITY OF MESA FOR PROPERTY LOCATED 
APPROXIMATELY 280 FEET EAST OF THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF 
SOUTH SIGNAL BUTTE ROAD AND EAST SOUTHERN AVENUE. 
 
Whereas, WS Holdings I, LLC (“Owner”) owns approximately 5.9 +/- acres of property located 
approximately 280 feet east of the northeast corner of South Signal Butte Road and East Southern 
Avenue as legally described in Exhibit A to the development agreement (“Property”).  
 
Whereas, the Property is currently zoned Limited Commercial (“LC”), with a previously approved 
development plan depicting a major tenant or grocery store on the Property. Owner desires to use a 
portion of the Property as a Minor Automotive/Vehicle Service and Repair facility (as defined in 
Title 11 of the Mesa City Code (“Zoning Ordinance”), Chapter 86), and has submitted an application 
in Zoning Case ZON25-00256 for a Major Site Plan Modification; a rezoning action that would 
amend certain conditions of Ordinance No. 3884, and, if approved, permit the planned Minor 
Automotive/Vehicle Service and Repair facility. 
 
Whereas, Arizona Revised Statute § 9-500.05 authorizes the City to enter into a development 
agreement with any person or entity having an interest in real property in Mesa providing for 
development rights and restrictions thereon so long as the development agreement is consistent with 
the City’s general plan or specific plan, if any, applicable to the property on the date the development 
agreement is executed. The City’s adopted General Plan contemplates the use of development 
agreements in conjunction with rezonings to further ensure consistency with the General Plan.  
 
Whereas, to that end, Owner has agreed, as an element of the above-named rezoning, to limit certain 
land uses that otherwise may be permitted in the LC zoning district or may be permitted on the 
Property in the future, to further facilitate high-quality development and compatibility with the 
General Plan and neighboring development.  
 
Whereas, City and Owner desire to enter into a development agreement for the primary purpose of 
limiting the land uses and activities permitted on the Property (“Development Agreement”). 
 
Whereas, City Council hereby determines it is appropriate to enter into the Development Agreement 
as contemplated herein.   
 
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MESA: 
 
Section 1: 
The Development Agreement is approved and the City Manager, or their designee, is 
authorized and directed to enter into the Development Agreement, together with all other documents

Agreement. 
 
 
Section 2: 
The City Manager, or their designee, is authorized to make any modifications and 
amendments to the terms set forth in the Development Agreement, so long as such modifications do
