Purpose and Recommended Action
Recommendation
This is a request for City Council to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution authorizing the Acting City Manager to approve a Temporary Parking Agreement with The New Westgate, LLC (TNW) for the purpose of securing temporary parking on Westgate Final Plat, Lot 5.body
Background
The city has a contractual obligation with the Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority (AZSTA) and the Arizona Cardinals to provide a total of 11,000 parking spaces in and around the Sports and Entertainment District, with a minimum of 6,000 parking spaces to be provided within Westgate City Center. Until full build-out of the Westgate Planned Area Development (PAD), it has always been the understanding of the parties involved that parking may need to be relocated within the Westgate Final Plat as necessary to accommodate new development while maintaining the minimum number of parking spaces required by all parties.
In 2012, with the construction of the Tanger Factory Outlet Mall, the city was required to identify replacement parking in order to meet the city's parking obligations. Staff negotiated with TNW for the use of Westgate Final Plat, Lot 5, generally located to the south of the southwest corner of Glendale and 91st Avenues. The city and TNW agreed to share the costs associated with constructing 1,679 temporary replacement parking spaces in order to meet the city's requirement to provide a minimum of 6,000 parking spaces within Westgate City Center. City Council subsequently approved Temporary Parking Agreements between the city and TNW for use of Westgate Final Plat, Lot 5 for fiscal years ending 2013, 2014 and 2015. The term of the most recent one-year Temporary Parking Agreement will expire on June 30, 2015.
Analysis
The new proposed agreement extends the use of 1,679 temporary replacement parking spaces located on Westgate Final Plat, Lot 5 for an additional year, to expire on June 30, 2016, thereby allowing the city to fulfill contractual parking obligations with the other parties previously identified. The use of this parking is made available by TNW at no cost to the city. Additionally, this agreement provides for the use of additional parking for dual events at no cost to the city if parking can be made available by TNW on dual event days.
