Report
Summary
On Dec. 13, 2017, the Phoenix City Council adopted Ordinance S-44141 to enter into a development agreement and lease agreement with CPLC, or its City-approved designee, for the development of a mixed-use project focused on employment-generating uses, with ancillary community-serving uses, on approximately 35 acres of land in Sky Harbor Center. Ordinance S-44141 granted 12 months from the date of the ordinance, which would be Dec. 12, 2018, to execute the development agreement and lease.
As part of the CPLC approval, City Council authorized City staff to negotiate with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix (Diocese) for a potential lease of the historic Sacred Heart Church. Negotiations with the Diocese were completed in June 2018. At the June 20, 2018, Formal meeting, City Council approved business terms and authority for the City to enter into the lease with the Diocese’s affiliate, Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Parish Phoenix (Parish). That approval, Ordinance S-44586, granted 12 months for the Parish to execute the lease with the City, which would expire June 19, 2019. CPLC has requested an extension to enter into the development agreement and the lease with the City until June 19, 2019, to coincide with the Parish deadline. All agreements will be sent to the Federal Aviation Administration to review concurrently once they are executed.
Financial Impact
This extension will have no financial impact on the General Fund.
