Report
Summary
The Community and Economic Development Department (CEDD) manages the property at the southwestern corner of Fillmore and 7th streets. The property has been vacant for a number of years and is occasionally used to support development activities in the Phoenix Biosciences Core. CEDD requests authorization to enter into a temporary parking license agreement with TGen for the temporary parking of a mobile testing unit, MindCrowd. The mobile unit utilizes online 'games' to assess brain health and insights for brain diseases, including Alzheimer's. The mobile testing unit is expected to require six parking spaces.
Contract Term
The term of the license will be 30 days, with a maximum of two 30-day extensions as defined in the license, and will begin later this year. The specific start and end dates will be determined once the mobile testing unit's schedule has been finalized.
Financial Impact
The license fee will be based on market rent and/or other valuable consideration, and any fees received will be deposited into the City's Genomic Facilities and Operations Fund.
