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.

On May 24, 2021 the City Council approved the preliminary plat for Silva Trails at West Goodyear, subdividing approximately 138.81 acres into 616 lots and 57 tracts.
On February 22, 2021 the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2021-1495 approving the R1-4 Reduced with Silva Trails PAD Overlay which designated the parcel for single-family residential.

As set forth in the attached preliminary plat Council Action Report attached hereto, the proposed subdivision reflected in the Final Plat of Silva Trails at West Goodyear Phase 1 is consistent with the General Plan and will not adversely impact the surrounding area.  The final plat substantially conforms to the approved preliminary plat and is consistent with the technical requirements of the city’s subdivision regulations and engineering standards and provides for the orderly development of the property by identifying the required infrastructure needed to serve the development.
