Rainbow 461 Annexation Request – 2nd Submittal 
 
To Whom it May Concern, 
 
This narrative letter includes the required information to commence the annexation request for 
Rainbow 461 into the City of Buckeye (“Buckeye” or “City”). The Property is located north of the 
northeast corner of Broadway Road and Rainbow Road within unincorporated Maricopa County and 
is identified as Maricopa County Assessor Parcel Number 504-21-023M (“Property”, “Annexation 
Area”). 
Description of expected future use/development of the proposed annexation area: 
The Property is 3.44 acres within the larger planned Rainbow 461 development. Refer to Exhibit 1, 
Vicinity Map. The current zoning in the county is RURAL-43 (Rural Zoning District - One Acre Per 
Dwelling Unit).  At time of annexation, per state statute, the City will provide an initial zoning of R1-43 
(Single-Family Residential 43) that most closely resembles the current County zoning. The intent 
following the annexation and initial zoning will be to amend the R1-43 zone district to match the 
existing single-family zoning of the surrounding Rainbow 461 site and incorporate the site into that 
project.  The Rainbow 461 project consists of 470 total acres intended to be developed for single-
family residential detached lots located north of Broadway Road, east and west of Rainbow Road.   
Preliminary Plans for Water and Sewer: 
Existing water and sewer infrastructure within the vicinity of the Property includes a 16-inch water line 
in Rainbow Road and a 15-inch sewer line within Watson Road 1 mile west of the proposed annexation 
area. Proposed water and sewer infrastructure will be determined as the Project progresses through 
entitlement. 
Intended access points to the Property: 
The Property is 3 acres within the larger planned Rainbow 461 development. Rainbow 461 will receive 
access from Rainbow Road, Broadway Road, and Dean Road. Exhibit 2, Parcel Map, identifies the 
annexation area, Rainbow 461, and the adjacent arterial roadways. 
Identify which school districts will be affected by the development:

The Property lies with the Buckeye Elementary School District and the Buckeye Union High School 
District. As the overall Rainbow 461project is developed, the Property owner will address impacts to 
the School Districts, if any, as deemed necessary by the District.  
Proximity to Police and Fire stations: 
The Buckeye Police Department is located 3 miles southwest of the Property and Buckeye Firehouse 
702 is located approximately 1.5 miles north of the Property.

Colliers Engineering & Design, Inc.
