PURPOSE OF FEASIBILITY REPORT
This Report has been prepared for consideration of the feasibility and benefits of certain public infrastructure
(as defined in Section 48-701, Arizona Revised Statutes) (collectively, the “Public Infrastructure”), to be financed by
the Bonds, if any are issued, and of the plan for financing the Public Infrastructure in accordance with the provisions
of Section 48-715, Arizona Revised Statutes. Pursuant to Section 48-715, Arizona Revised Statutes, this Report
includes (i) a description of the Public Infrastructure, an estimate of cost and a timetable to acquire the Public
Infrastructure (see Section Two); (ii) a map showing, in general, the location of the Public Infrastructure and area to
be benefited by the Public Infrastructure (see Section Three); and (iii) a plan of finance for the Public Infrastructure
(see Section Four).
This Report has been prepared for consideration by the District Board. It is not intended or anticipated that
this Report will be relied upon by other persons, including, but not limited to, purchasers of the Bonds. This Report
does not attempt to address the quality of the Bonds as investments or the likelihood of repayment of the Bonds, if
any are issued. In preparing this Report, employees of Pulte Home Company LLC (“Pulte”), the master developer
of the property within the District, the underwriter, the financial advisor, bond counsel, staff of the City of Buckeye,
Arizona (the “City”) that provide services to the District, and other persons and experts have been consulted as
deemed appropriate.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT
Formation of the District was approved by the City on April 19, 2005, on the request of all of the landowners
within the District. The District consists of approximately 4,015 acres within the approximately 10,354 acre master-
planned community called Festival Ranch (the “Project”). The Project is located along the Sun Valley Parkway
generally between 259th Avenue and the 291st Avenue alignments. Single-family residential units are planned for
approximately 3,190 acres within the Project. As of March 31, 2024, Pulte has closed 4,342 residential homes at Sun
City Festival (age restricted) and 1,274 homes at Festival Foothills (non-age restricted), for a total of 5,616 residential
homes.
In addition to residential development, several community amenities have been constructed within the
District. Currently, a 27-hole golf course is completed along with a 15,000 square foot golf clubhouse, a 30,000
square foot recreation center, a 24,000 square foot recreation center, an 8,000 square foot arts and crafts building, a

(ii)
Proposed Debt Issuance:
The Bonds are anticipated to be issued in September 2025. As indicated in Table One herein, it is
currently estimated that the Bonds will have a final maturity of approximately 20-years with principal
amortized such that when combined with the debt service on the previous issues referenced above, the
result will be aggregate level debt service along with a targeted secondary tax rate of not to exceed
$3.00 per $100 of net assessed limited property value (not including the tax of $0.30 per $100 of net
assessed limited property value levied to pay a portion of operation and maintenance expenses of the
District and of the public infrastructure financed by the District (the “Operation and Maintenance
Tax”)).

(b) All costs of issuance and underwriter fees will be paid by Pulte.
(iv)
Disclosure of Taxes and Assessments:
Section 32-2181 et seq., Arizona Revised Statutes requires the disclosure of all property taxes and
assessments to be paid by a homeowner in the Arizona Department of Real Estate Subdivision Public
Report (the “Public Report”). Each homebuyer must be supplied a Public Report and, prior to any
home sale, the homebuyer must acknowledge by signature that they have read and accepted the Public
Report.
In addition, Pulte requires the homebuyer to sign an additional form that highlights and discloses the
additional taxes as a result of the District financing.
(v)
Operation and Maintenance Estimated Revenues and Expenditures:
The Public Infrastructure that may be acquired by the District has been dedicated to the City.
Some or all of the public infrastructure heretofore or hereafter constructed may be, and may continue
to be, supported by City monies (after acceptance of any such public infrastructure by the City), the
Operation and Maintenance Tax, Home Owner’s Association (“HOA”) fees, developer contributions,
or some combination of one or more of such revenue sources. Pursuant to a development agreement
among the Project property owners and the City, the master HOA is responsible for the operation and
maintenance costs of landscaping for the roadways, trails, and open space within the District. All
homeowners are required to participate in the HOA. Monthly fees for the HOA are approximately
$168 per home in Sun City Festival and $95 per home in Festival Foothills.
Pursuant to a development agreement among the Project property owners and the City, Pulte is
required to provide a warranty for all infrastructure comprised of streets, parkways and alleys and all
appurtenances thereto at its expense for a period of two years from the date the City accepts the
infrastructure. Such warranty requires repair actions reasonably necessary to correct defects according
to customary engineering industry standards for each item of the Public Infrastructure.
