Although a fiscal impact analysis has not been conducted on this specific project, all new development will have an ongoing fiscal impact on the City. The development is responsible for construction of all infrastructure necessary to serve the site and will generate one-time revenue for the City through payment of permits, construction sales tax and development impact fees. Longer term fiscal impacts include increased demands for municipal services, the costs of which may or may not be offset by increased property values/tax levies, city sales tax, state shared revenues and the increased demand for commercial and retail development. Any areas that will be maintained by the city are constructed by the developer and then conveyed to the city two years after construction.

The preliminary plat for each respective parcel was approved by City Council on the dates listed below.

• Estrella Parcel 11.E was approved by the City Council on December 17, 2018. A one-year extension of the preliminary plat approval was extended by City Council on February 24, 2020.

This Council Action Report has been combined for the four respective final plats because the approval of each subdivision is contingent on all of them being approved and to provide for a more efficient approval process. The four subdivision plats will be recorded separately.

The proposed subdivisions are consistent with the technical requirements of the city’s subdivision regulations and engineering standards, and provide for the orderly development of the property by identifying the required infrastructure needed to serve the property within each subdivision final plat.  The Final Plats are in substantial conformance with the Preliminary Plats described above, and as set forth in the Council Action Reports for the Preliminary Plats for Estrella Parcel 11.E, the Council Action Reports for the Preliminary Plats for Estrella Parcel 11.F1, the Council Action Reports for the Preliminary Plats for Estrella Parcel 11.I1 and the Council Action Reports for the Preliminary Plats for Estrella Parcel 11.I2, all of which are on file with the Goodyear City Clerk, each of the proposed subdivisions is consistent with the General Plan and will not adversely impact the surrounding area.
