SUMMARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Cindy Paddock of Colliers Engineering and Design, on behalf of property owner, Rainbow 121 LLLP, is
requesting annexation (Case No. PLZM-25-0087) of one parcel of land totaling approximately 3.5 acres,
located about 220 feet north of the northeast corner of Rainbow Road and Broadway Road.
This annexation meets the requirements of A.R.S. Section 9-471.  Annexations require consideration at
two City Council public hearings.  This initial meeting is for the purpose of holding a public hearing to
allow stakeholders the opportunity to comment on the request.  The proposed annexation is anticipated
to return to City Council at a future meeting date for consideration of approval by ordinance.  Please see
attached staff report for additional information and analysis. 
BENEFITS:
The subject annexation will increase the City's land area and will allow for future housing development
within the City.
FINANCIAL IMPACT STATEMENT:
See Planning Items Financial Impact Statement
FINANCIAL IMPACT STATEMENT:
Although a fiscal impact analysis has not been conducted on this specific project, all new development
will have an ongoing fiscal impact on the city. The development is responsible for construction of all
infrastructure necessary to serve the site and will generate one-time revenue for the city such as permit
fees, construction sales tax and development impact fees. Longer term fiscal impacts include increased
demands for municipal services, the costs of which may or may not be offset by increased property
values/tax levies, city sales tax, state shared revenues and the increased demand for commercial and
retail development. Any areas that will be maintained by the city are constructed by the developer and
then conveyed to the city two years after construction.
Items related to a project or facility location must include an attached vicinity map for Council
Review.
