STAFF REPORT 
Compliance with General 
Plan: 
The 
2010 
General 
Plan 
designates 
this 
area as part of the 
Commerce/Industry Park Planning Area and is compatible with the 
General Plan Land Use but requires an action from Council for the 
annexation to proceed with the adoption process.   
 
Considerations: 
This annexation request involves 6.369 acres of land that is owned by 
John F. Long Properties located a quarter mile west of Dysart Road on 
Northern Parkway.  The owner desires to be annexed into the City of El 
Mirage and is coordinating with the City of Glendale to be deannexed 
from the City of Glendale.  Following the City of Glendale’s 
deannexation and the City of El Mirage’s annexation, the deannexation 
and annexation requests requires ratification by the Maricopa County 
Board of Supervisors as pursuant to ASR §9-471.02. 
 
The subject property is currently located in the City of Glendale, 
however with the creation of Northern Parkway, the subject property 
became isolated from the rest of Glendale.  At the same time, the subject 
property is immediately adjacent to the Copperwing Logistics Park, a 
John F. Long Properties industrial development that covers more than 
1,000 acres and located in the City of El Mirage.  Because of the subject 
property’s separation from the balance of the City of Glendale, and its 
proximity to the City of El Mirage, deannexation from Glendale and 
annexation into El Mirage makes perfect sense.
