SUMMARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Resolution No. 13-26 approves the Development Agreement ("Agreement") with Pulte Home Company,
LLC ("Pulte") dated January 20, 2026, establishing the terms for water service for an additional 75
equivalent dwelling units ("EDUs") for the San Madera development.  By way of background, 489 EDUs
of water service were already memorialized in a prior Development Agreement dated July 19, 2022 by
and between the City and Judy A. Dickman and JKDC Farms, LLC, assigned to Pulte on July 16, 2025.
This current agreement requires Pulte to complete a line extension of a 16” water line for 2,600 feet
along Broadway Road from Watson Road to the 239th Avenue alignment, pay all City-approved and
adopted development impact fees, including water development impact fees, for the additional 75 EDUs,
as well as construct all onsite water infrastructure necessary for the City to provide municipal water
service to the development.
San Madera is a proposed subdivision creating up to 564 single family residential lots on approximately
148 acres of land located at the northeast corner of Broadway Road and 239th Avenue. An original
development agreement dated July 19, 2022, and assigned to Pulte for the San Madera Development,
included a water payment of $1,675,994.71 plus a 2% CPI for 489 EDUs, to be made to the City prior to
recording the first final plat. This agreement reaffirms the terms of the original agreement, but adds 75
EDUs to the subdivision for a total of up to 564 EDUs. In return, the developer will pay the water
agreement payment per the original agreement terms, and all required City adopted water development
fees for the additional 75 lots. Pulte is also required to extend the 16” water line 2,600 feet along
Broadway Road from Watson Road to 239th Avenue. 
Pulte has transferred a portion of the San Madera land area to Taylor Morrison/Arizona, Inc., an Arizona
corporation, which has provided written consent to the recording of the Agreement against its ownership
interest in the land.
