BACKGROUND
On March 11, 2020, the Development Services Department administratively approved the application presented by MKNZ, LLC for the property located at 5143 D Street to redevelop the existing site and establish a 6,095-square foot medical office building (Exhibit A).
The Engineering Conditions of Approval (“COA”) for this project required the applicant to design and construct certain frontage improvements on D Street and 5th Street that include sidewalk, parkway landscaping, reconstruction of alley curb, and driveway approaches. The public improvements completed by the applicant necessitated the execution of a Public Improvement Agreement and posting securities that the City Council approved on July 26, 2022 (Exhibit B). It should be noted that the costs associated with the design and construction of the required public improvements are completely offset by the applicant. There is no direct fiscal impact on the City.
The COA additionally required that the owner annex the property to the City’s Landscape and Lighting District No. 2002-1 (Annexation/Zone No. 92) for public streetlight maintenance along the project’s frontage, within the right-of-way. The public hearing for the annexation was held on October 4, 2022. The City Council unanimously approved the annexation.
The public improvements are complete per the approved plans and have been constructed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. There were no delays in the project, resulting in the construction of the required public improvements within the two-year timeframe outlined in the agreement.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The public improvements completed have been constructed in compliance with the City’s standards/specifications, and accessibility requirements, and to the satisfaction of the City Inspector and Engineer.
All public improvements that were part of the condition of the Project were fully funded by the Applicant/Developer.
Security for a one-year warranty period has been submitted to the City. Under the warranty bond obligation, the developer will correct any defects found within one year of the City Council’s acceptance of the Project. Also, upon completion and final acceptance, the public improvements shall become the sole exclusive property of the City to operate and maintain. The following maintenance obligations will commence following acceptance of the public improvements:
Public Street Sweeping: By the City
Public Streetlights: By the City
Landscaping: By the property owner
