Title
Designate City-Owned Property Located in Various Areas Throughout the Valley as "Mountain Preserves" (Ordinance S-44403)
Description
Request that the City Council designate City-owned property located in various areas throughout the valley as "Mountain Preserves," and order that the ordinance be recorded.
Report
Summary
The properties to be designated as "Mountain Preserves" were acquired some time ago with the intent the properties would be designated as "Mountain Preserves" however, they were never properly designated. This request will ratify that initial intent.
Chapter XXVI, Section 1(d) of the Phoenix City Charter provides that the City Council may designate real property as "Mountain Preserves” by ordinance upon recommendation of such designation by the Parks and Recreation Board. On Jan. 25, 2018 the Parks and Recreation Board recommended that several properties the City acquired through the use of Phoenix Parks and Preserves Initiative funds be designated “Mountain Preserves” so that the protections afforded to preserve property under Chapter XXVI will apply. It is requested that the City Council designate that property listed on Attachment A as “Mountain Preserves.”
Location
The properties are located in various areas throughout the City and surrounding area, see Attachment A.
