Report
Summary
The real property to be acquired is adjacent to property controlled by Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (Airport) and is strategically located north of the Airport's airfield fence line and operations and to the Union Pacific Railroad's active main rail line.
The real property consists of three parcels, and is approximately 1.30 acres, improved with an approximate 26,000 square-foot industrial warehouse type building and associated land improvements owned by Water & Environmental Technologies, L.L.C. (WET). Currently, the property is occupied by WET's manufacturing business of water treatment chemicals. WET agreed to voluntarily sell the real property to the City. The purchase agreement will contain terms and conditions deemed necessary or appropriate. Once the real property is acquired and the property vacated, the Aviation Department will demolish the structure and existing improvements in favor of improvements to support future airport development. If an agreement to purchase cannot be reached at this time, the property may be acquired using other available means as authorized by Phoenix City Council at a later date.
The parcels to be acquired are located at 310-314 S. 29th Street, identified by Maricopa County Assessor's parcel numbers 121-60-008B, 121-60-008D, and 121-60-008E.
Financial Impact
Funding is available in the Aviation Department's Capital Improvement Program.
