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. 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. 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 Council
on March 17, 2026 for consideration of approval by ordinance.
BENEFITS:
The subject annexation will allow for any future improvements to the property to be developed according
to City standards and policies.
FUTURE ACTION:
The annexation is expected to return to Council for consideration of approval on March 17, 2026.
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.
