Council authorizes mayor to sign five‑year extension to Peach Pit development agreement
Summary
Property owners Dave and Danielle Sterling asked to extend a 2020 development agreement for their 20‑acre farm to continue agricultural use while preserving development rights; council authorized the mayor to sign a five‑year extension on the existing terms.
Council considered a request from Dave and Danielle Sterling to extend their development agreement (recorded Dec. 1, 2020) covering a 20‑acre farm near the intersection of Bash Parkway and Floritec Road. The agreement allows the property to remain in agricultural use while preserving the owners’ right to develop in the future if they choose.
Danielle Sterling told the council the family wants to continue farming and to protect leases to people who currently cultivate trees on the property; she said the family was requesting the extension early to avoid last‑minute problems for lessees. City planning and legal staff reviewed the request and recommended approval; city legal staff advised the council it could authorize the mayor to sign an amendment extending the five‑year term by motion.
Councilman Thomas moved and Councilman Hershey seconded a motion authorizing the mayor to sign a five‑year extension of the same terms of the recorded development agreement. The motion passed unanimously.
Ending
The mayor was authorized to execute a five‑year extension amendment; staff will prepare the amendment consistent with the existing agreement language and the council’s direction.
