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 subject property is a part of the Goodyear Civic Square Planned Area Development (PAD). The PAD was approved on July 8, 2019, with City Council adoption of Ordinance No. 2019-1440.

The intent of the Goodyear Civic Square PAD is to create an urban, pedestrian-oriented development that will be a center for civic administration, services and events. The area is also intended for the development of higher intensity office and commercial development. Another key component of the PAD is the allowance of higher density residential development, which will support the commercial development anticipated in the area and help activate the civic spaces.

The PAD has been divided into three separate development parcels — A, B and C. An overview of each parcel is provided below:
 

1. Parcel A is approximately 48 acres. This parcel is bounded by McDowell Road, 150th Drive, Monte Vista Drive and the Bullard Wash. Parcel A will contain the core area intended for city hall and the approximate two-acre civic park. Uses permitted within the core area are intended to support a more pedestrian-oriented, urban environment, with such uses including government and professional offices, services and retail, and entertainment, among other uses. Outside the core area, uses may include educational uses, multi-family residential, hospitals, trade schools, office, general commercial and retail uses. Parcel A is the area being subdivided with this preliminary plat.
2. Parcel B is approximately 42 acres. This parcel is bounded by Monte Vista Drive, 150th Drive, Virginia Avenue and the Bullard Wash. Uses permitted within this parcel include single family and multi-family residential. Properties and/or units may be offered for sale or rent. Maximum residential densities are not established. Instead, development standards, such as maximum height and setbacks, will control and guide development. This subject request for preliminary plat is for Parcel B.
3. Parcel C is approximately 17 acres. This parcel is bounded by the Estrella Falls Regional Center to the south and east, 150th Drive and Encanto Boulevard. Uses permitted within Parcel C include a mix of commercial, service and residential type uses.

A preliminary plat for Goodyear Civic Square Parcel A at Estrella Falls was approved by the City Council at their regular meeting of September 28, 2020.
 

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.
