FISCAL IMPACT
Annexation of land has a fiscal impact. A brief overview of anticipated public infrastructure and services impacts is included in the staff analysis section of this CAR. A detailed fiscal impact will be included in future City Council reports. There is no fiscal impact associated with authorizing the staff to proceed with the state statutory requirements for annexation. Authorizing the process to move forward does not commit the City Council to approve the annexation.

The abutting property to the south of the Broadway Road alignment and to the abutting property northwest of the Broadway Road alignment and the 161st Avenue alignment are zoned Riverside Park Preliminary Planned Area Development (PAD) which was adopted by Council on December 11, 2005 by Ordinance No. 05-976.

Details of the Request:
There are two applicant requests for your consideration:
· Annex approximately 1.81-acre property along the Broadway Road alignment between the Sarival Avenue alignment on the west and the 159th Avenue alignment on the east
· Annex approximately 0.42-acre property along the Sarival Avenue alignment between Maricopa County Highway 85 on the north and the future Arizona State Route 30 (Tres Rios Freeway) on the south.
Both properties are generally located south and southeast of Sarival Avenue and Maricopa County Highway 85 and are owned by ENDICOTT PROPERTIES LLC (“the owner”). The owner also owns two properties immediately adjacent to both annexation areas; those properties, which total approximately 45.16 acres are already within the city’s limits, leaving the 2.23 acres (1.81-acre annexation proposal and the 0.42-acre annexation proposal) remaining to be annexed.
If the annexations are ultimately approved by Council and the owner, the owner would then seek to rezone the newly annexed properties as well as their existing 45.16 acres, within the city, into a cohesive 47.39-acre industrial development.
The City’s General Plan designates this area as Industrial. The existing County zoning for this property is Rural-43 (RU-43). Upon annexation, the property would be designated the equivalent zoning district which is Agricultural/Urban (AU). The city has received a request to rezone this property to I-2 (General Industrial) with a PAD Overlay, which will be a separate action.
The property is located within the city’s municipal planning area and meets State statutory requirements for annexation.
The City’s Annexation Policy, adopted in 2001, provides that staff evaluate annexation requests on the following criteria:
· Annex approximately 1.81-acre property along the Broadway Road alignment between the Sarival Avenue alignment on the west and the 159th Avenue alignment on the east
· Annex approximately 0.42-acre property along the Sarival Avenue alignment between Maricopa County Highway 85 on the north and the future Arizona State Route 30 (Tres Rios Freeway) on the south.

The City’s Annexation Policy, adopted in 2001, provides that staff evaluate annexation requests on the following criteria:
A. The City’s ability to provide basic services in a timely manner
B. Long-term desirability for community development and economic growth
C. Likelihood of the area being developed in Maricopa County or being annexed by another city or town
D. Ability to control the quality of land uses and infrastructure standards

D. Ability to control the quality of land uses and infrastructure standards
E. Compatibility with General Plan, infrastructure needs, and timing of development
As discussed above, the 1.81-acre annexation proposal and the 0.42-acre annexation proposal (for a total of 2.23 acres) is immediately adjacent to two properties which total 45.16-acre property. The 1.81-acre property bifurcates the larger 45.16-acre that is already annexed into the city. The 0.42-acre property sits within the future Sarival Avenue alignment just west of the larger 45.16-acre property and will be needed for future roadway improvements. Without the annexation of both properties, a portion of the development would need to develop within the County and future Sarival Avenue would be likely be developed to County standards. The current owner would like to develop the entire site as a cohesive development and also develop within the city.
Streets: the property is intended to have access to Sarival Avenue which will ultimately be developed within the city. Sarival Avenue is planned to provide access to both future Arizona State Route 30 (Tres Rios Freeway) and Maricopa County Highway 85.
Public Safety: the property is located within an existing Police patrol beat and the current level of service within the beat can accommodate the development of the property. Fire services would be provided by Station 184, approximately 2.3 miles away and Station 181 approximately 5.0 miles away.
Water/Wastewater: Upon annexation, the property would be served by the City of Goodyear. The property is already included in the city’s Integrated Water Master Plan (IWMP).
