PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 
1. The property owner Win Oil Co., Inc., is requesting annexation of one parcel of land 
totaling 2.52 acres located at the northwest corner of E. Baseline Road and E. MC-85 on 
parcel 400-75-105K.  
2. The blank petition for the proposed annexation was recorded on July 29, 2025 (see 
attachment).  Per state law governing annexation, a public hearing providing any affected 
parties with an opportunity to comment on the request must be held at least 20, but no 
more than 30 days following recordation of the blank petition. Holding the public hearing 
for this annexation on August 26, 2025, conforms to timing requirements established by 
Arizona Revised Statutes. The proposed annexation is expected to return to Council for 
consideration for approval on September 02, 2025.

ANALYSIS: 
6. The subject property is presently located in the jurisdiction of Maricopa County and zoned 
General Commercial (C-3). Upon adoption of an annexation ordinance, the parcel would 
be assigned City of Buckeye Regional Commercial (C-3) zoning, the district most closely 
aligned with the property’s current Maricopa County C-3 zoning designation.  
7. The property currently features a general plan land use designation of Downtown Activity 
Center, which is intended to develop with a mix of uses complimentary to the Downtown 
Specific Area Plan. 
8. The proposed annexation will allow for development in accordance with the permitted 
uses and development/design standards of the City of Buckeye C-3 zoning district.  
9. The property will be eligible for City services such as police, fire, water and sewer. 
10. The annexation proposal meets eligibility for size, dimension, and contiguity 
requirements for annexations as outlined in ARS §9‐471. 
11. The property is located within the Buckeye Union High School and Buckeye Elementary 
School Districts. The annexation should have no impact on either district.   
RECOMMENDATION: 
12. This is the first of two public hearings where the City Council will hold a public hearing 
and take no action. The final public hearing, where the City Council will take final action, 
will be held on September 02, 2025. 
13. Staff concludes that the proposed annexation: 
a. Is consistent with the requirements of the Buckeye Development Code and 
applicable Arizona Revised Statutes. 
b. Allows future development on the property to process applications through the 
City of Buckeye. 
c. Has been reviewed by all relevant departments, with no outstanding concerns 
identified.
