AGREEMENT WITH GWH NORTHERN FARMS, LLC; AND DIRECTING THAT THE CITY

Presented by: Lisa Collins, Planning Administrator
Ms. Bower read the resolution by title.
Ms. Collins said the proposed resolution authorized the City Manager to enter into an In Lieu
Fee Agreement between the City and GWH Northern Farms, LLC.
Ms. Collins said prior to requesting a sewer connection from EPCOR, the designated
water/sewer provider in the region, the property owner was required to provide an executed
Pre-annexation Development Agreement (PADA) with the City or have successfully completed
annexation into the City. Because the property was zoned medium density residential in
Maricopa County, state law required a city to provide the most similar zoning designation to the
property if annexed into the city. Residential home subdivisions were not ideally suited for the
City's long-term public safety and infrastructure development goals along the Loop 303.
Ms. Collins said GWH Northern Farms, LLC and the City acknowledged that the 255-home

residential subdivision would have an impact on the long-term public safety and roadway
infrastructure planned for the Loop 303 area. GWH Northern Farms, LLC agreed to pay
$1,529.00 per residential lot developed, to offset the impacts of the development.
