CURRENT GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION The City of Buckeye ratified their General Plan on August 28, 2018. Within this Plan, this parcel is not recognized as an approved Master Planned Community or Area Plan. The subject property is denoted as Neighborhood (yellow color) in the General Plan as reflected below in the Figure 1-Land Use Map. Figure 1-Land Use Map The Neighborhood Land Use designation denotes areas that have a broader range of residential development than Rural, including low to high density. Neighborhood development may include single- family units (attached and detached), and multifamily units, such as apartments and condominiums. Residential land uses in excess of 1 du/ac are permitted in this designation. Zoning districts consistent with this land use designation are: SF-18, SF-10, SF-6, SF-3, SF-1, MF-1, MF-2, NMU, CMU, C-1. CONFORMANCE WITH GENERAL PLAN The current land use designation is Neighborhood, 1.01-4.0 du/ac. The proposed density for Miller 60 is 3.89 du/acre. The project, as proposed, is in conformance with the General Plan. 2 APRIL 2025 C:\Users\AndrewDooley\jmc-eng.com\Projects - General\0046-Miller60\Admin\Reports\Final Plat Narrative CURRENT ZONING DESIGNATION The current zoning for this parcel is Planned Residential which allows for a mix of lot sizes. Figure 2-Zoning Map VICINITY INFORMATION Interstate 10 (I-10) is located approximately 3 miles to the north of the subject property. There is direct access to I-10 from Miller Road located ¼ mile to the east of the parcel. The project site is located ¼ mile west of Miller Road, south of Southern Avenue, and north of Maricopa Road. Direct and independent access to the proposed subdivision will be off Southern Ave and Maricopa Road. The property is bounded by Sunset Vista subdivision to the west, Blue Hills subdivision to the south, Miller Park & Bales Elementary School to the east, and various properties to the north which are all located within the City of Buckeye Planning Area. The site is further described as being located within Section 31, Township 1 North and Range 3 West of the Gila and Salt River Meridian, Maricopa County, Arizona within the corporate limits of the City of Buckeye, Arizona. The vicinity map for this project is included as Figure 3. Figure 3-Vicinity Map 3 APRIL 2025 C:\Users\AndrewDooley\jmc-eng.com\Projects - General\0046-Miller60\Admin\Reports\Final Plat Narrative DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST This request is being made on behalf of the property owner, Melcor Developments Arizona, Inc., as an application for the final plat of a 59.581-acre property consisting of two (2) separate parcels with APN numbers of 504-40-019, & 504-40-015G. This site will be built in one phase as a single-family detached style development consisting of 232 lots, 20 tracts, 36.495% open space, and 11.458% park space. CIRCULATION SYSTEM Onsite Circulation Circulation and accessibility shall be provided by internal local streets. The developer will propose minimum road width for all internal traffic conveyance. Onsite site roads will be constructed to reflect the City’s minimum cross-section for a local street. Offsite Circulation The proposed access to Miller 60 will be provided with one connection point at Southern Avenue and one connection points along Maricopa Road. This will ensure independent connections for public safety. Southern Avenue will be developed with half street improvements in accordance with City of Buckeye minimum cross sections for major arterial roadways. An entrance street will be provided to Maricopa Road which is already developed and standard right-of-way will be provided in accordance with City of Buckeye minimum. WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN The City of Buckeye currently does not have a Designation of Assured Water Supply (DAWS) through the Arizona Assured Water Supply Program. This designation provides proof of a 100- year supply of water. Without this designation, all final subdivision plats in the City are required to obtain their own Assured Water Supply Certificates prior to plat recordation. This site does have an existing Assured Water Supply that includes both this parcel and an additional parcel south of the site. The provider of this certificate is designated at Valencia Water but was transferred to Global Water and ultimately the City of Buckeye. As part of the construction document and final plat process, Melcor has obtained a reallocation of this certificate. There are 12” water mains in both Southern Avenue and Maricopa Road to which waterline connections will be made. WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN There are no existing sewer lines in Southern Avenue. Maricopa Road has an existing 8” sewer main at the SE corner of the site. The proposed subdivision sewer system will connect to the 8” line in Maricopa Road. The City of Buckeye will provide sewer service as part of the Miller Road Sewer Improvement District. 4 APRIL 2025 C:\Users\AndrewDooley\jmc-eng.com\Projects - General\0046-Miller60\Admin\Reports\Final Plat Narrative FIRE PROTECTION Nearby Fire Stations 404 South Miller Road Station 701 25821 West Magnolia Street Station 706 POLICE PROTECTION Buckeye Police Department will provide service.

Passive uses include walking and biking opportunities along internal pathway connections along the centralized open space areas. PROPOSED TRAILS In addition to providing concrete pathways along street sections, Miller 60 will provide an internal trail system with traditional sidewalks and decomposed granite connections throughout the open space. This provides a safer and more aesthetically pleasing way to walk and bike through the neighborhood. DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE This project will be constructed in one phase. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS The proposed development standards are outlined below for the Planned Residential (PR) zoned site. The Planned Residential Zoning District is designed to accommodate all subdivided residential developments to which public services are available. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS Criteria Planned Residential (PR) Minimum Net Site Area 5,028 SF Minimum Lot Width 45 FT Maximum Height 35 FT Maximum Building Coverage 55.3% Minimum Setbacks Front Lot Setback 16 FT Side Lot Setback 5 FT Rear Lot Setback 15 FT *AN ADDITIONAL 5' OF SETBACK SHALL BE REQUIRED FOR ALL CORNER LOTS ADJACENT TO THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY **ALL DRIVEWAYS SHALL BE 20-FEET MEASURED FROM THE GARAGE TO THE BACK OF SIDEWALK CONCLUSION Melcor is committed to making Miller 60 a different, more engaging community in Buckeye.
