PendingAnnexation

Arizona Center for Nature Conservation wildlife conservation facility

Description

A pre-annexation deal sets up annexation of Freeport subsidiary land for a Phoenix Zoo-run wildlife conservation facility, with a zoo CUP that will go straight to the council rather than this commission.

Impact summary

The zoo would be accessed off the Walden Grove High School road, and a jointly operated wastewater plant could open the door for eastward town expansion.
