COUNCIL ACTION
Al Ordinance No. 2023.027: Relating to Annexation; annexing into the corporate
limits of the Town of Marana that territory known as the Post Marana Pumpkin Patch
Annexation, approximately 370 acres of land located southeast of the intersection of W
Hardin Road and N Trico Road in Section 14, Township 11 South, Range 10 East;
approving a plan to provide the annexed territory with appropriate levels of
infrastructure and services to serve anticipated new development; and establishing
original Town of Marana zoning (Jason Angell)
Vice Mayor Post declared a conflict of interest and recused himself from the dais at 6:04
PM.
Development Services Director Jason Angell presented on this item. A copy of the
presentation slides is on file with the Town Clerk's Office and attached to these minutes
as Exhibit A. Mr. Angell said Town staff evaluated this annexation request against the
Town's annexation policy, and he mentioned that the details of the resulting analysis are
included in the staff report accompanying the agenda materials.
Mr. Angell highlighted a few main points. He said the Town would assume the
maintenance of an additional 3.1 lane-miles of road at an estimated cost of approximately
$22,400.00 annually in road maintenance. He said the Police Department's boundaries
will be expanded to cover the annexation area, but that associated costs to the Town are
anticipated to be minimal. Mr. Angell said that estimated annual tax revenues generated
from the subject property are believed to be sufficient to cover the additional costs to the
Town, and that there was no need for water or sewer infrastructure to be extended to the
property, since it is currently on a well and septic system.
Mr. Angell explained that the current Pima County zoning for the subject property is
Rural Homestead (RH), and that the proposed Town of Marana translational zoning
would be Agricultural (AG). He said that the applicant has submitted a request for a
conditional use permit to allow for the continued use of the property for outdoor
amusement, which is scheduled to be heard before the Planning Commission next week.
If approved,the CUP would allow for the Post Pumpkin Patch operations to continue on
the property.
For more information, including maps depicting the subject property, please see the
presentation slides.
