PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF T E TOWN OF MARANA, ARIZONA, this 7th day of April, 2015.' ATTEST: ocelyn C ronson, Town Clerk Marana Ordinance No. 201 5.009 Mayor EA Honea REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE AND PURCIIASE AGREEMENT Ti-iis AGREEMENT (""Agreement"') is made and entered into by and between THE TOWN OF MARANA, an Arizona municipal corporation (the "Town ") and SKY RANCH HOMEOWNERS AssocIATTON, INC., an Arizona non-profit corporation (the "HON"). The Town and the HOA are sometimes collectively referred to as the "Parties," either of which is sometimes individually referred to as a "Party." RECITALS A. The Town owns Parcel "A" of Sky Ranch subdivision as described in the plat recorded in the office of the Pima County Recorder at Book 58 of Maps and Plats, Page 58 (the "Town Parcel "). The land area depicted in the Sky Ranch subdivision plat is developed as a project referred to as "Sky Ranch." B. The Town and the original developer of Sky Ranch intended the Town Parcel to be used as a "children's desert educational center" as described in paragraph 3.4 of the Sky Ranch Development Agreement recorded June 25, 2004 at Docket 12331, Page 4286, Pima County Recorder's office. C. The children's desert educational center was not built and is no longer" anticipat- ed to be built on the Town Parcel. D. The Town of Marana desires to establish and construct a community park in the northeast Town limits, but finds that the Town Parcel is not optimal due to its relatively small size of 7.3 acres and its sole vehicular access from a private street. E. The HOA owns Sky Ranch. Common Area B open Space as described in the Sky Ranch subdivision plat. A 35.21 -acre portion of Sky Ranch Common Area B open Space, bounded by Tangerine Road to the north, Camino de Maf='ana to the southeast, and Cam' no de Oeste to the west, S referred to In tI1IS Agreement as the "HOA P1 "ope1 "-- ty. F. The Sky Ranch. Development Agreement references the Sky Ranch Habitat Con- servation Plan (HCP) and associated Incidental Take Permit issued by the Department of the Interior, U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), dated January 30, 2004, and further provides that development of Sky Ranch will be in accordance with the Sky Ranch HCP. The Sky Ranch HCP provides for a disturbance limitation of no more than 22% of the property subject to the HCP. { 0003 7914, Doc 15 } G. The purpose of the Sky Ranch HCP and Incidental Take Permit was to minimize and mitigate the effects of the Sky Ranch development to the cactus ferruginous pyg- my-owl (the "Pygmy owl "), a species that was at the time listed as endangered by the USFWS under the Endangered Species Act. H. As set forth in the 71 Federal Register 19452 (April 14, 2006) ("'Delisting Rule"'), the USFWS removed the Pygmy Owl from the Federal List of Endangered and Threat- ened Wildlife and removed the critical habitat designation for the Pygmy owl. I. The Sky Ranch HCP and Incidental Take Permit were established solely for mit- igating impacts to the Pygmy owl, and the Delisting Rule stipulates that the conserva- tion measures provided by the Endangered Species Act no longer apply to the Pygmy Owl; and thereby eliminated the USFWS conservation requirements associated with the Sky Ranch HCP and Incidental Take Permit. J. The Incidental Take Permit issued January 30, 2004 expired on January 30, 2009. K. The HOA has received authorization from its members to convey a portion of the HOA Property to the Town, via exchange and/or sale, for a future community park site of 18 acres, more or less, in the triangle of land bounded by Tangerine Road, Camino de Mariana, and Camino de Oeste.
