ORDINANCE NO. 021-15 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, AUTHORIZING THE OPTION TO SELL REAL ESTATE BY THE CITY TO TWG DEVELOPMENT, LLC LOCATED AT APPROXIMATELY 4705 W GLENDALE AVENUE, A PORTION OF PARCEL NO. APN 146-18-059, DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTS FOR THE SALE AND DIRECTING THE CITY CLERK TO RECORD A CERTIFIED COPY OF THE ORDINANCE. Presented by: Jessi Pederson, Assistant Director, Economic Development Ms. Bower read the ordinance by title. Ms. Pederson said the ordinance would authorize an agreement to sell approximately 4 acres of City land at 4705 West Glendale Avenue for $6.50 per square foot to TWG Development, LLC. TWG planned to develop 105 new, affordable housing units. Ms. Pederson said in 2004 and 2005, the City purchased approximately 7 acres of land at the location with the intention of building a new courthouse and public safety complex. The City did not move forward with the project and the parcel had remained vacant. Ms. Pederson said the TWG project was an opportunity to support revitalization within the designated redevelopment area along the City's namesake corridor. TWG would utilize the State's low-income housing tax credits for the project. Tax credit projects were competitive and required an application to be submitted to the State of Arizona by April 1 st. In the event TWG did not receive an award of tax credits for the project, the agreement could be terminated. Ms. Pederson said the average price per square foot for similar properties was $4.00. The development of affordable housing at the site would expand housing opportunities, bring new development and result in one-time revenue for the City. The project also addressed critical housing needs in the area. A motion was made by Councilmember Bart Turner, seconded by Councilmember Joyce Clark to adopt Ordinance No. 021-15. Councilmember Turner said it was disappointing to see the original plans for the court complex set aside but affordable housing in the downtown area was much needed.
