FISCAL IMPACT

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.

BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUS ACTIONS

The Preliminary Plat of La Privada Parcels 3 & 7 was approved by the City Council on September 27, 2021. A Final Plat of La Privada Parcels 3 & 7 Phase 1 was approved by the City Council on January 23, 2023. An administrative 90-day extension was approved by staff on April 23, 2023. The current extension expired on July 21, 2023.

STAFF ANALYSIS

Under the Goodyear City Code, the approval of a final plat expires if the final plat is not recorded within 90-days of the date the final plat was approved.  The Final Plat of La Privada Parcels 3 & 7 Phase 1 has not been recorded because the property had not been sold to a builder who will be developing the property in a timely manner.

The second 90-day extension has expired.  Accordingly, Council approval of the Final Plat is required per section 15-2-5(F)(1) of the Goodyear City Code.  Because there have been no changes to the Subdivision Regulations or the Engineering Design Standards since the January 23, 2023 approval, staff supports approval of the Final Plat.
