CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Report 
Date: November 1, 2021 
To: City Council T
Through: Natalie Lewis, Assistant City Manager 
From: 
Christine Zielonka, Development Services Director 
Nana Appiah, Planning Director 

Subject: Public Hearing prior to the release of the petition for signatures 
for annexation case ANX21-00728, located north of Pecos Road and west of Signal Butte Road (71.3± acres). 
Council District 6 

Purpose and Recommendation
The purpose of this agenda item is for the City Council to conduct a public hearing on the proposed annexation of 71.3+ acres of property depicted on Exhibit “A” (the Property”). 
State Statute requires the blank annexation petition to be recorded prior to the public hearing (A.R.S. §9-471-A). 
The blank petition was recorded on October 6, 2021. 
The subject annexation request was initiated by the applicant, Josh Tracy, Ryan Companies, for the owners, Tucker Properties, LTD. 
Following the public hearing, the annexation petition will be released for property owner signature. 
Once the signatures have been received, the annexation ordinance will be scheduled for the City Council’s consideration and adoption. 
Staff anticipates making a recommendation of approval for the annexation. 

Background 
The annexation area consists of one undeveloped parcel generally located north of East Pecos Road and west of South Signal Butte Road (see Exhibit ‘A”). 
The applicant is requesting annexation to develop the Property within the corporate limits of the City of Mesa. 
Currently, the Property is zoned Single Residence 43 (RU-43) in Maricopa County. 
The annexation ordinance will establish City of Mesa zoning designation of Agriculture (AG) on the Property. 

Discussion 
The Property is completely surrounded by the existing City of Mesa corporate boundaries and is within the City of Mesa Planning Area. 
The Property has a General Plan character area designation of “Employment”. 
If annexed, any development of the Property will be required to comply with City of Mesa development standards, [ page 2 ]
including storm water retention, street improvements, landscaping, screening, and signage. 
The City will also collect the development fees as well as supply water and gas utilities. 
Utilities and City services are already provided in the area and extension of these services will have minimal impact on the City. 
The City of Mesa Departments/Divisions of Transportation, Fire, Solid Waste, and Water Resources have provided comments related to the future development of the Property; however, none of the comments pertain to the annexation of the Property, which is currently vacant land. 
Planning State Statute requires the City to adopt a zoning classification that permits densities and uses no greater than those permitted by the County on newly annexed land (A.R.S. §9-471-L). 
The Property is currently zoned RU-43 in Maricopa County. 
City of Mesa zoning designation of AG will be established through the annexation ordinance. 

Fiscal Impact 
Annexation of the Property will result in the collection of any future secondary property tax, construction tax, and development fees generated from the Property. 
Notification The Property has been posted and notifications have been sent to all property owners and county agencies as required by state statute (A.R.S. §9-471).
