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 when applicable.
•
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 2015 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.

Significant infrastructure improvements may be required in order to serve the proposed 
parcels within the City of Phoenix service area. Design and construction of any 
infrastructure will be the responsibility of the developer. Specifics regarding infrastructure 
improvement requirements would be discussed and determined at a pre-application 
meeting after annexation.       
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 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.
