Dwight Bassett, Director

Overview: There has been much discussion about the impact of development in our community. We completed a similar study in 2011, and there has been a conversation about updating that work in recent years. This proposal is to initiate a new fiscal impact on land use by development type.


Recommendation(s):
That the Council considers authorizing a Cost of Land Uses Fiscal Impact analysis and enacts the attached budget ordinance appropriating FY 2022 excess fund balance for the study.

Decision Points
* This study would provide an update on the impacts on development types.
* The study could provide insight into budgetary needs as the Town continues to grow

Key Issues:
* A more vital understanding of the fiscal impacts of different land use types.
* A better understanding of development on the Town's budget.

Fiscal Impact/Resources: Adopting the resolution would authorize the town to proceed with the cost of land uses fiscal impact analysis with an estimated cost is $70,000. Staff recommends using FY 2022 excess fund balance for the study.
