The Mesa City Council on Jan. 13 voted 7-0 to introduce ordinances for two annexations and set the dates for their public hearings following a long discussion.
According to council documents, the annexations include 64 acres at the southeast corner of East Southern Avenue and South Signal Butte Road, as well as 30 acres at the southeast corner of North Hawes Road and East McDowell Road.
The 64-acre area consists of five privately-owned, undeveloped parcels of land. The land is currently zoned as large-lot residential in Maricopa County, and annexing the area will establish comparable Mesa zoning of an agricultural district. The applicant who requested the annexation, Pew & Lake, PLC, who made the request for the owners, Bela Flor Holdings LLC, also submitted a rezoning application.
