Report
Summary
The Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) Land Reuse Strategy was developed in 2017 to address the reuse and redevelopment of fragmented airport-owned parcels located south of Interstate 17. In December 2022, the Aviation Department received Federal Aviation Administration approval to dispose of and/or redevelop 427 parcels of fragmented airport-owned noise land. Of the total 427 parcels, this action requests authorization to sell parcels identified in areas F, G, H, I and J in the Land Reuse Section 163 Determination letter dated December 22, 2022 (Attachment A).
The properties will be conveyed at a purchase price based on a valuation of the land and the buyers will pay all closing costs. This process will be in compliance with Administrative Regulation 5.44 regarding the disposition of City-owned real property. There are properties that are within the Downtown Redevelopment Area and will be disposed of in compliance with Arizona Revised Statutes 36-1480. The properties will be advertised on the open market at market value to be determined by an appraisal accepted by the Finance Department's Real Estate Division. With approval, staff will negotiate with offerors to yield the highest dollar return to the City, as deemed acceptable by the City Manager or designee. The City Manager or designee will select the highest responsive and responsible offer based upon market value and enter into an agreement for the purchase and sale of City-owned property. The subsequent conveyance will include a deed restriction for non-residential use in accordance with the compatible land use for PHX.
Financial Impact
Revenue will be reflective of the market value of the property and will be returned to the Aviation Department.
