None 
ALTERNATIVES: 
• Option A - Annex the land as requested: 
The City of Phoenix will control rezoning requests in this area to ensure conformance 
with the General Plan Land Use Map. The City of Phoenix will capture property tax, 
utility tax, state shared revenue, and impact fees. 
• Option B - Deny the request for annexation: 
If annexed later, this site would have been developed under County zoning and 
development standards that may not be consistent with the General Plan, Land Use 
Map, zoning, and development standards.  
RECOMMENDATION: 
Located adjacent to City of Phoenix lands, this annexation is supported by the 2025 General 
Plan, particularly the Land Use goal for land uses and development standards for 
unincorporated land, under Policies 1 and 2. This annexation is recommended for approval. 
Approval of annexation does not constitute recommendation for future rezoning actions.

Specifics regarding infrastructure improvement requirements would be discussed and

requirements provided under PAPP 2402903 for KIVA 24-759. 
 
It is the City’s intent to provide water and sewer service. However, the requirements 
and assurances for water and sewer service are determined during the site plan 
application review, or the building permit approval, and may be subject to future 
Attachment A

restrictions as a result of water shortage. Water and/or sewer system requirements and 
stipulations are determined at time of site plan approval. Capacity on any existing 
infrastructure is determined at that time of preliminary site plan approval. Please be 
advised that capacity is a dynamic condition that can change over time due to a variety 
of factors. 
 
Per City Code 37-22, 37-39 and 37-142, annexation into the City requires all properties 
connect to the City’s public water system. All existing on-site private wells must be 
disconnected to prevent cross contamination with the City’s public water system. 
 
Developments that use an average of 250,000-gallons of water or more per day are 
required to provide a Water Conservation Plan. In addition, developments that use an 
average of 500,000-gallons of water or more per day are required to demonstrate a 
minimum of 30% water reuse in the Water Conservation Plan. The Water Conservation 
Plan must be reviewed and approved by the Water Services Department (WSD) prior 
to preliminary site plan approval.
