RESOLUTION NO. R20-112 A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE ENTERING INTO OF A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH ECL GLENDALE, LLC. Presented by: Kevin Phelps, City Manager Ms. Bower read the resolution by title. Mr. Phelps said Council was considering one of the most exciting developments he had ever been involved with. There were nine components to the project: • 11 -acre lagoon -style water park • 630 hotel rooms • Class A office space (133,197 SF) • Retail (174,565 SF) • Fly and 4D theaters • Amusement rides • Family entertainment center • Restaurants and bars (89,090 SF) • Venue spaces Mr. Phelps said the project would be located on an approximately 48 -acre site located on the southwest corner of 95th Avenue and Cardinals Way. There would be above -ground and below -ground parking totaling 2,400 on-site spaces. He said the project: • Advanced the City's vision of being the premier sports and entertainment district in Arizona • Served as a significant revenue generator for the City • Leveraged existing investments • Further established the sports and entertainment district as a year-round destination • Advanced the City's vision as a preferred host for mega events • Created an estimated 1,800 jobs Mr. Phelps said the estimated tax revenues associated with the project over a 25 -year period were $90 million for schools; $60 million for the County; and $240 million for the City. He said the average annual revenue over the 25 -year period was estimated at $9.6 million. The revenues associated with the project including Government Property Lease Excise Tax (GPLET) and fee waiver were: • $5.9 million in first year sales tax (including construction) • $240.5 million total revenue over the 25 -year period, with the following breakdown revenues: • $188.2 million sales tax revenue • $13.4 million property tax revenue • $38.8 million bed tax revenue Mr. Bailey said at tonight's meeting, Council was considering the following agreements: • Development Agreement (DA) with ECL Glendale, LLC • Government Property Improvement Leases with ECL Glendale, LLC Mr. Bailey said Council would be considering the following agreements at the September 22nd voting meeting: • Purchase and Sale Agreement with ERD Glendale, LLC to purchase approximately .2942 acres of City -owned land • Option Agreement to Purchase Real Estate with ERD Glendale, LLC to purchase City Council Meeting Minutes - September 8, 2020 Page 7 of 11 approximately 4.154 acres of City -owned land • Parking Agreement(s) Mr. Bailey said there was no public expenditure of funds associated with the DA. The primary incentive was a permit fee waiver that was contingent upon construction and performance by the developer. The GPLETs required the developer to purchase and make improvements to the property and dedicate the property to the City. The City would then lease the property back to the developer. The developer was obligated to make all improvements, operate and maintain the property. Mr. Bailey said the purchase and sale agreement for .2942 acres was for a remnant parcel created when the City did not construct a roundabout during the construction of 95th Avenue. The agreement did contain a clawback provision. In the event the developer failed to open within three years, the City would be able to buy the property back at cost. Mr. Bailey said the option agreement for 4.154 acres was attached to development on the primary site. It also contained a clawblack provision. Mr. Bailey said the parking agreement regarded use of the Black Lot. The property agreements had been posted and published as required by the City Code. Mr. Phelps said the following City offerings included: • One-time permit, plan and inspection fee waiver of up to $1 million (did not include development impact fees estimated at $4.4 million) • Sale of 0.29 acres of City -owned land that would be sold to the developer for its market value of $126,000 ($10 per square foot) • Option to sell 4.15 acres of City -owned land to be sold at market value of $1.8 million ($10 per square foot) • A 25 -year "partial" GPLET agreement on the restaurant, theater, amusements, retail and lagoon concessions with an exemption from both property and lease excise taxes for qualifying uses • Parking agreement(s) Mr. Bailey said the partial GPLET was for a lease period of 25 years. It was the developer's obligation to ensure that the development met statutory requirements. The City would take ownership of the property and lease it back to the developer so that the property was exempt from property tax. The City would lease it back to the developer with lease excise taxes paid instead of property tax. At the end of the 25 -year period, the property reverted back to private ownership. Mr. Phelps said a portion of the Black Lot would be utilized for overflow parking. However, it could not be used during game days, NFL events or mega events. The developer would maintain the parking spaces. The City wanted to maintain future development options. With the cooperation of Michael Bidwill and the Cardinals, the agreement included a provision that the spaces could be relocated for up to two years. Mr. Phelps said the developer hoped to begin construction before the end of the year with a goal of completion by October 2022. It would be full site construction. Eric Cherasia, Crystal Lagoons, said the company began with a development in Santiago, Chile. The company's founder developed the technology to filter water in the lagoon to keep it crystal-clear. There were now three lagoons. It was a sustainable technology that used 100 times less chemicals and 50 times less energy than swimming pools. It also reduced evaporation by 50 percent. Crystal Lagoons now had projects throughout the world. City Council Meeting Minutes - September 8, 2020 Page 8 of 11 Mayor Weiers said it was a very exciting project. Councilmember Clark thanked Mr. Cherasia. She had been anticipating the announcement for almost a year.
