Surprise City Council approves annexation for Surprise 295 project

The Surprise City Council made a significant move during its March 4, 2025 meeting, approving the annexation of a property that will enhance local development. This decision comes after a thorough public hearing process, with the final vote taking place on the 22nd day of a 30-day waiting period.

The annexation pertains to a project known as Surprise 295, which has been under discussion since an outreach meeting held at Willow Canyon High School last August. During that meeting, residents raised questions about the project, including access to the site and the annexation process itself. The property in question is currently zoned as RU 43, which aligns with the surrounding rural residential zoning in the City of Surprise.

Councilman Haney highlighted the specific parcels involved in the annexation before moving to approve the ordinance. The council unanimously voted in favor, signaling strong support for the project and its potential benefits to the community.

This annexation marks a crucial step in the development process, paving the way for future growth in the area. As the city continues to expand, residents can expect further discussions and developments related to the Surprise 295 project in the coming months.
