Authorization to Convey City-Owned Real Property at E. Shea Boulevard and N. 30th Street (Ordinance S-48028)
Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to convey City-owned property at E. Shea Boulevard and N. 30th Street to Paradise Valley Unified School District No. 69 by Special Warranty Deed.
Report
Summary
The City entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) on April 6, 2000, with the Paradise Valley Unified School District No. 69 (District) for joint use of school facilities, authorized by Ordinance S-26956. Under the IGA, the City was granted the right to use the District's newly constructed athletic fields at Shadow Mountain High School in addition to other designated district properties used for after school and summer programs, in exchange for the District's use of an adjacent 2.94-acre City-owned parking lot. The District maintained the parking lot and a strip of land along the east side of 30th Street for the duration of the 20-year IGA.
Ordinance S-26956 provided an option for the District to purchase the City-owned land at the then appraised value diminished by 5 percent for each full year that the agreement has been in existence at the time of the purchase. The IGA further provides an option for the District to purchase the City-owned parking lot for $1.00 at the expiration of the IGA. At the request of the District, the Parks and Recreation Department seeks to fulfill the option as provided in the IGA. The site to be conveyed has been reduced to roughly 2.8-acres and is entirely encompassed within the Shadow Mountain High School Campus because of the realignment of 30th Street (also known as 30th Place).
The plat for Shadow Mountain High School, Maricopa County Recorder number 20030518715, designates Tract "A," an approximate 10-foot strip of land along the east side to 30th Street, to be owned and maintained by the District. Additionally, Tract "A" will be included in the conveyance. The City will reserve an easement to maintain any roadway infrastructure within Tract "A."
The property will be conveyed by Special Warranty Deed with the District responsible for any and all closing costs.
