II. REGULAR AGENDA A. Public hearing and action re: Master Plan Amendment (MP13-001), Rezoning (RZ13-001), General Plan Minor Map Amendment (GP13-001), Airport Specific Area Plan Amendment (LUP13-001), Amendment One to Pre-Annexation Development Agreement (City Contract No. 2008-164 Al), and Water Service Agreement First Amendment (City Contract No. 2008-165 Al) for Granite Dells Estates (Owner: Michael Fann; Agent: Jason Gisi) At 3:12 P.M. Councilman Arnold recused himself and stepped away from the dais due to a previously stated conflict of interest. Ruth Traxler, Community Planner presented. She noted that Granite Dells Estates is a 1,100 acre Master Planned development south of Highway 89A at the interchange of Granite Dells Parkway. It was annexed in 2007 under Proposition 400. She said there is a mix of industrial, commercial, multi-family, workforce and single-family uses in the Master Plan. Only five acres have been developed since 2007, for a use related to the Yavapai School District. The current request is an amendment to the Master Plan to allow for an increase in residential units from 710 to' 1310. This request affects the Airport Specific Area Plan, General Plan, and Rezoning to change the underlying allowable uses in that area. Two other changes are also required which triggers a greater water demand. Those changes are an amendment to the Development Agreement and the Water Service Agreement. Mrs. Traxler reviewed the proposed changes to the various plans and agreements and said the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved the land use changes. City Manager, Craig McConnell, addressed the changes to the Development Agreement and the Water Service Agreement. He said the Council Water Issues Committee met to discuss this, noting that 248.5 acre foot of water was previously allocated to this property in a pre-annexation development agreement. The additional water demand created at build-out is 210 additional acre feet. The rezoning does not necessitate that water be allocated. The rezoning is the adoption of a land use and does not entitle the land to receiving water. He said there are alternatives the Council can consider.
