Adopt the attached ordinance bill terminating the Artisan Square Development Agreement by and between the City of Fresno and Ashlan/Hayes No. 1 LP (McCaffrey Group).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On December 16, 2008, the City Council, through Ordinance Bill 2008-78, adopted a Development Agreement between the City of Fresno and Ashlan/Hayes No. 1 LP (McCaffrey Group). The proposed project involved authorizing the subdivision and planned development of approximately 122.93 net acres (126.89 gross acres) of property located between West Ashlan Avenue and the West Gettysburg Avenue Alignment; and, between North Bryan and North Hayes Avenues. A recent change in ownership has prompted the owners of record, Granville Homes, to terminate the recorded Development Agreement and pursue other development options pursuant to the City's recently updated General Plan. Termination of the Development Agreement will provide a clean slate for a new development plan.
