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
On October 24, 2022, the City adopted Ordinance No. 2022-1545 and the associated Map 21-17 with Case Number 21-200-00017, to effectively rezone the property from the previous PAD zoning to the current R1-6 with PAD Overlay and R1-4 with PAD Overlay.
On February 3,2023, after determining that the preliminary plat complied with public objectives, subdivision design principles and standards, and streets and thoroughfare planning and the reports and studies submitted in support of the preliminary plat demonstrated the adequacy of utilities, open space and other public facilities needed to serve the development, staff administratively approved the Preliminary Plat for the site with stipulations, under Case Number 21-500-00014. This final plat covers Phase 1 of the development and consists of approximately 111.81 acres of the approximately 201.01 total acres for La Jolla Vista.

STAFF ANALYSIS
The proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan and will not adversely impact the surrounding area. Further, the proposed subdivision 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. The Final Plat is in substantial conformance with the Preliminary Plat.
