As shown in the attached graphic, the subject property is north of Dublin Boulevard, between Dougherty Road (on the west) and Arnold Road (on the east). Our basic objective in initiating this action is enhancement and expansion of training facilities at Parks RFTA and, consequently, preservation of our ability to address the mission of the Army Reserve well into the future at this important installation. With your help and understanding, it is our intention to carry out the following sequential steps: (1) together with you and your staff, carefully plan and rezone the subject site to accommodate high-quality development of multiple pdvate commercial and residential uses; (2) once entitled, convey the subject site to one or more private developers; and (3) utilize the proceeds from said conveyance(s) to. cause the construction of enhanced and/or expanded training facilities and to provide a vadety of other improvements on government-owned land in the training area. We believe that the City will also realize many benefits from this proposed initiative. In addition to the economic impacts resulting from continuation and expansion of the training mission at Parks RFTA, and in addition to the taxes, jobs, impact fees and the like associated with private development of the subject site, this proposal enables much needed road improvements to be constructed in the area. It also provides the City with a unique opportunity to comprehensively plan the integration of this key property into the existing fabric of the community.
