N/A 
 
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 sewer infrastructure improvements will 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. Additional information and requirements provided under PAPP 2304652 for KIVA 
23-1271.  
                                                                                                                                                                              
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.  
 
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. Please be advised that 
capacity is a dynamic condition that can change over time due to a variety of factors.
