Item 1.           Security and Issuer.

                  The class of securities to which this statement relates is the

Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Stock"), of Del Webb Corporation

(the "Company").  The address of the principal  executive offices of the Company

is 6001 North 24th Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85016.


Item 2.           Identity and Background.

                  (a) - (c),  (f)  Schedule 1 hereto  sets forth (i) the name,

the state or other place of organization or residence,  the principal  business,

the address of the principal business and the address of the principal office of

Pacific Partners, LLC (the "Stockholder"), William S. Levine, the Manager of the

Stockholder (the "Manager";  collectively  with the Stockholder,  the "Reporting

Persons"),  the individual  members of the Stockholder (the "Members" and each a

"Member"), the individual general partner of the limited partnership Member, the

manager of the  limited  liability  company  Member and the trustee of the trust

Member,  and (ii) the name,  the  residence  or  business  address,  the present

principal  occupation or employment,  together with the name, principal business

and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is

conducted,  and the place of  organization  of the  controlling  persons  of the

Stockholder.  Unless  otherwise  indicated,  all natural  persons  identified in

Schedule 1 are citizens of the United States.

                  (d) - (e) Neither of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of

their knowledge,  any of the other persons listed on Schedule 1, during the last

five  years has been  convicted  in a  criminal  proceeding  (excluding  traffic

violations or similar misdemeanors) or has been a party to a civil proceeding of


<PAGE>

CUSIP NO.  947423 109                                       Page 5 of 9 Pages

a judicial or administrative  body of competent  jurisdiction and as a result of

such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining

future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal

or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.


Item 3.           Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

                  The aggregate  amount of funds required by the  Stockholder to

purchase the 975,886 shares of the Stock owned by it was $14,873,833,  including

any brokerage  commissions and Stock contributed by a Member.  Except for shares

of Stock  purchased  pursuant to the  Stockholder's  margin  account  referenced

below,  all funds used to  purchase  the Stock were  obtained  from the  working

capital  of  the   Stockholder.   The   Stockholder  has  borrowed  a  total  of

$1,882,967.98  to purchase  shares of the Stock pursuant to margin  arrangements

established in the Stockholder's Customer Agreement with Spear, Leeds & Kellogg

(a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1).


Item 4.           Purpose of Transaction.

                  The Stockholder purchased shares of the Stock because it had

determined that the Stock may present significant  opportunities for realization

of increased  shareholder  value.  Representatives  of the Stockholder have read

with interest publicly available information regarding the Company including the

various reports filed by the Company pursuant to the Securities  Exchange Act of

1934.  Although the Company is the  recognized  brand name and the leader in the

active  adult  housing  business,  the  Reporting  Persons do not  believe  that

shareholder value has been maximized.  The Reporting Persons have noted that the

Company's  balance sheet is highly  leveraged.  Impending  debt  maturities  and

certain restrictive covenants contained in the Company's instruments relating to



<PAGE>

CUSIP NO.  947423 109                                       Page 6 of 9 Pages

its indebtedness, may present liquidity issues and limit the Company's financial

flexibility.  The Reporting  Persons believe that this, in turn, is not allowing

the Company to take  advantage  of both  present and future  opportunities.  The

Reporting  Persons  are also  concerned  that the  percentage  of the issued and

outstanding Stock beneficially owned by the Company's  directors and officers is

inappropriately low.

     Representatives  of the Reporting Persons will seek to meet with management

of the  Company to obtain  management's  explanation  of the steps it intends to

take to  maximize  the value of the Stock and address  any  impending  liquidity

issues and delever the Company's  balance sheet. The Reporting  Persons may also

evaluate  and  discuss  with  management  the  terms  upon  which a  significant

strategic equity  investment could be made in the Company to address any pending

liquidity issues and to delever the Company's balance sheet.  Representatives of

the Stockholder may also meet with  representatives  of potential  purchasers of

the Company to determine if they are  interested in acquiring the Company and to

compare possible  acquisition prices with the Reporting  Persons'  assessment of

the market values  realizable from management's  plans.  Based on the outcome of

any such  discussions  and further  assessment  by the  Reporting  Persons,  the

Reporting Persons may seek representation on the Company's Board of Directors at

its  2000  Annual  Meeting  of   Stockholders  or  may  suggest  and/or  sponsor

alternative candidates for election as directors.

     Depending upon general market and economic conditions affecting the Company

and the Stock and its view of the prospects for the Company, the Stockholder may

purchase additional shares of the Stock or sell shares of the Stock from time to

time in open market and/or private transactions.

     Except as set forth herein,  the Reporting Persons have no present plans or

proposals  which  relate  to or would  result  in any of the  actions  or events

enumerated in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.           Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

           (a)    The  aggregate  number  and  percentage  of  shares  of  Stock

                  beneficially owned by the Stockholder is 975,886 (5.3%) (based

<PAGE>

CUSIP NO.  947423 109                                       Page 7 of 9 Pages

                  on information  included in the Form 10-Q filed by the Company

                  for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 reporting that 18,326,955

                  shares of Stock were outstanding as of April 30, 2000). To the

                  best  knowledge of the  Reporting  Persons,  none of the other

                  persons  named in  response  to Item 2 owns any  shares of the

                  Stock (other than shares of the Stock owned by the Stockholder

                  of which one or more of such  other  persons  may be deemed to

                  have beneficial ownership pursuant to Rule 13d-3).

           (b)    The  Stockholder, acting through the Manager, has the sole

                  power to vote or direct  the vote and,  subject to the terms

                  of  the  margin  arrangements,   to  dispose  or  direct  the

                  disposition of the shares of the Stock beneficially owned by

                  it.

           (c)    Except as set forth on Schedule 2 hereto,  no  transactions in

                  shares of the Stock were  effected  during the past 60 days by

                  the Reporting Persons, or, to the best of the knowledge of the

                  Reporting  Persons,  by any  of the  other  persons  named  in

                  response to Item 2.

           (d) - (e)       Not applicable.


Item 6.           Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
                  Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

                  Neither of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of their

knowledge,  any of the  other  persons  named  in  response  to Item 2,  has any

contract,  arrangement,  understanding or relationship (legal or otherwise) with

any person with  respect to any  securities  of the  Company.  The  business and

affairs of the  Stockholder  are  conducted in  accordance  with the terms of an

Amended and Restated  Operating  Agreement of Pacific  Partners,  LLC, a copy of

which is included as Exhibit 99.2 to this filing.
