end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
The approval of this annexation will extend access to City resources and services to this area. This annexation assists in furthering City Council’s strategic outcome of Respected and Responsible.
REPORT:
The annexation area consists of three parcels of real property and the adjacent Avenue 4E right-of-way. The annexation area totals approximately 70.8 acres. The properties are owned respectively by:
1. Arachnida Farms, LLC, parcel 724-09-003, which is undeveloped,
2. Paradise Yuma Grove, LLC, parcels 724-10-001 and 724-11-001, which are undeveloped
The City of Yuma received a request from Arachnida Farms, LLC and Paradise Yuma Grove, LLC to annex their properties for future industrial development.
In accordance with Arizona law, a blank petition with a legal description and a map of the area to be annexed was filed with the Yuma County Recorder on August 4, 2026. There is a 30-day waiting period after recording the map and petition with the County Recorder before signatures can be obtained. During that time, a public hearing must be held by the City Council within the last 10 days of the 30-day waiting period. All appropriate and necessary notice and posting requirements have been met. After the 30-day waiting period and the public hearing, the following procedures must be followed.
• The signatures of property owners must be obtained such that at least one-half of the value of real and personal property is represented and such that more than one-half of the parcel owners are represented.
• Within one year after the last day of the 30-day waiting period, completed petitions must be filed with the County Recorder.
• An ordinance must be adopted by the City Council effectively changing the City boundaries to include the annexation area. The ordinance will become effective 30 days after adoption. No modifications, including increases or decreases to the territory to be annexed, may be made after the first property owner in the area signs the petition. This public hearing is held to comply with the annexation law, Section 9-471 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. The purpose is to notify all property owners of the proposed annexation and take public comment.
Pending receipt of the signed petition from the property owners after the annexation hearing, it is anticipated that the annexation ordinance will be heard by the City Council for introduction on October 7, 2026, with adoption on October 21, 2026.
