Existing Conditions 
The property is surrounded by existing residential and undeveloped agricultural land. It is partially 
developed with an interim two-way road south of the Roosevelt Canal. The site is within FEMA flood zone 
X designation per FIRM Panel 04013C2140M, with a revision date of February 8, 2024. The existing site 
has a general slope which falls from the northwest to the southeast. No significant offsite flows impact 
the site. 
Description of Proposal 
The Owner is seeking to annex this small property into the City of Buckeye. Once annexed, the land will 
be incorporated into the overall Mountain View South development and subsequently dedicated and 
improved as right-of-way for Tuthill Road, serving the existing and future residential and commercial users 
of the area. The development of this property will expand opportunities for residents in an established 
and mature area of the county where resources and infrastructure are in place to facilitate orderly and 
efficient growth. Please see Exhibit A for a legal description of the site and Exhibit B for a map of the 
annexation area and its relation to the surrounding properties. 
Relationship to Surrounding Properties 
The proposed development is compatible with the existing surrounding developments, which include 
undeveloped and agricultural fields to the east, large-lot residential to the west, Yuma Road to the north 
and continued future Tuthill Road right-of-way to the south.

proximity to the freeway will provide the future residents with convenient access to a nearby hospital, 
shopping, dining, entertainment, sporting facilities and connection to other major freeways.
