The Phoenix City Council authorized the City Manager to file a blank petition for the proposed Schroeder Annexation with the Maricopa County Recorder's Office. This annexation was requested by Kimberly Schroeder with Kaeko, Inc., primarily to enable the parcel to receive City of Phoenix services. The proposed annexation area encompasses Parcel 210-07-017, situated in the vicinity of 15th Avenue and Happy Valley Road, covering approximately 5.201 acres (226,534 square feet) with an estimated population of zero. The council's action aligns with current city policies and state statutes regarding annexation. Following this authorization, signatures on the annexation petition will not be sought for 30 days. A public hearing is scheduled within this 30-day period to gather community input. Formal adoption of this proposed annexation will be considered by the City Council at a subsequent date.
