SUMMARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Esencia LLC, on behalf of property owner, Robert Road Spirit LLC, is requesting annexation of one
parcel of land totaling approximately 0.89 acres, located at 26602 W MC 85, the northeast corner of MC
85 and SR 85. The subject property is developed with a convenience store and fuel canopy, and no
future phases of development are planned. Upon annexation, the land will be assigned Regional
Commercial (C-3_ zoning, the district most closely aligned with the property's current County C-3 zoning
designation.  No future rezoning of the land is anticipated.  Annexation is when the City assumes
jurisdiction over unincorporated land adjacent to its boundaries and expands the existing City limits. This
annexation meets the requirements of A.R.S. Section 9-471. Annexations require consideration at two
City Council public hearings. No public spoke during the first City Council public hearing for this item on
February 17, 2026. Additional details related to the annexation may be found in the attached staff report.
BENEFITS:
The subject annexation will allow for any future improvements to the property to be developed according
to City standards and policies.
FINANCIAL IMPACT STATEMENT:
Although a fiscal impact analysis has not been conducted on this specific annexation, approval of the
request may result in fiscal impact to the City. Annexation may result in increased demands for municipal
services, the costs of which may or may not be offset by increased property values/tax levies and city
sales tax.  
FINANCIAL IMPACT STATEMENT:
N/A
Items related to a project or facility location must include an attached vicinity map for Council
Review.
