HISTORY:

ALTERNATIVES:
• Option A - Annex the land as requested:
The City of Phoenix will control rezoning requests in this area to ensure conformance with the General
Plan Land Use Map. The City of Phoenix will capture property tax, utility tax, state shared revenue, and
impact fees when applicable.
• Option B - Deny the request for annexation:
If annexed later, this site would have been developed under County zoning and development standards
that may not be consistent with the General Plan, Land Use Map, zoning, and development standards.
RECOMMENDATION:
Located adjacent to City of Phoenix lands, this annexation is supported by the 2025 General Plan, particularly the
Land Use goal for land uses and development standards for unincorporated land, under Policies 1 and 2. This
annexation is recommended for approval. Approval of annexation does not constitute recommendation for future
rezoning actions.
SUPPORTING INFORMATION:
I. Water and Sewer Service
Water:
8-inch DIP water main within E. Bajada Road
Sewer:
8-inch DIP sewer main within E. Bajada Road (does not front project site, approximately 35 feet east of
east property line).
The property is currently served by the City of Phoenix for water but is not connected to the City of
Phoenix sewer system. No main extension is required at this time for either water or sewer service.
However, if the existing septic system fails or the parcel redevelops after annexation, connection to the
City of Phoenix sewer system would be required, which would necessitate a sewer main extension.
