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 Map. 
 
Considerations: 
The applicant is requesting the approval of rezoning 6.4 acres of 
land recently annexed into the El Mirage city limits from Rural Area 
(RA) to Employment/Industrial (E/I). The parcel was zoned from 
Rural-43 (Maricopa County) to Rural Area (RA) when annexed into 
the City as pursuant to A.R.S. §9-471.  The applicant on behalf of 
the landowner is requesting the rezoning of the 6.4 acres to match 
the adjoining 136 acres for future development.  
 
All required documents and the public notification requirements 
have been met and submitted by the applicant.  
 
ARS 28-8481 Land Use
