SUMMARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The City of Buckeye ("City") is the applicant for this annexation request. The purpose of this request is to
annex from Maricopa County's a segment Van Buren Street west of Sun Valley Parkway, approximately
606 feet in length. This will allow development to complete the required roadway and infrastructure
improvements. Specifically with regard to a roadway, A.R.S. Section 9-471(O) allows for an abbreviated
annexation procedure by mutual consent of the governing bodies of the county and a municipality if the
property transferred is adjacent to the receiving city or town and if each governing body approves the
proposed transfer as a published agenda item at a regular public meeting of their respective governing
bodies.
BENEFITS:
This annexation and construction of street improvements by the developer will improve traffic circulation
in the vicinity of the project site. Also annexing this area will avoid any challenges for the City concerning
review submittals with the City and construction of this corridor.
FUTURE ACTION:
Upon approval by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, the Ordinance with legal descriptions will
be recorded with the Maricopa County Recorder's Office.
