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.
