The ABCs of the ASU-Tempe agreement on development
Join Tempe Mayor and City Council at Sept. 28 TV show taping
TEMPE, Ariz. - Tempe Mayor Hugh Hallman and the Tempe City Council welcome
guests from Arizona State University and the city's Planning and Zoning
Commission for a lively discussion on the details of an unprecedented
agreement between the city and the university that will guide future
commercial developments around the Tempe campus.
Ray Jensen, associate vice president of Administration and Business Services
for Arizona State University, and Charles Huellmantel, chairman of the Tempe
Planning and Zoning Commission, will be the mayor and council's guests from
7 to 8 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 28, at the Pyle Adult Recreation Center, 655
E. Southern Ave.
Tempe has re-invented the Early Riser Forum of the past into a new show:
Let's Talk Tempe. The new concept is expected to refresh a longtime talk
show series that is taped monthly in the fall and spring. Each show is taped
in front of an audience of residents and is replayed throughout the month on
Tempe 11.
"We want substantive - yet civil - discussions about issues that really
matter to Tempe residents," Mayor Hallman said. "It won't matter if our
guests are on the same or different sides of an issue. We're not scared of
respectful disagreement or controversy. Tempe residents can only benefit
from full and public discussions of vitally important community issues."
Tempe and ASU have entered into an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) that
will establish a framework for development of university-owned property on
the edges of ASU's Tempe campus. Some points of the agreement are still
being negotiated, but the mutually beneficial alliance represents an
unprecedented commitment to cooperation
between the two entities. Since ASU land is state-owned, its developments
have never been subject to Tempe codes and rules. In the future, any
proposed retail, office or residential developments on the portion of ASU
land that bands the campus and along Tempe Town Lake, will undergo a
thorough review by a panel of city- and university-appointed residents.
At ASU, Jensen's areas of responsibility include purchasing and business
services, auxiliary business services and real estate services. He has been
at ASU for nearly 19 years and is the past president of the National
Association of Educational Buyers. Jensen is active as a leader and teacher
in higher education management associations.
An attorney and former prosecutor, Huellmantel has been on the Planning and
Zoning commission nearly 10 years and has been the body's longtime chair.
He has lead hours of public hearings on the IGA issue and has helped
re-write the city's general plan and zoning code. Huellmantel also serves as
chair of Tempe's Redevelopment Review Commission.
