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 February 27, 2023, the Property was rezoned from Planned Area Development (PAD) to a PAD entitled GSQ Regional Center by Ordinance No. 2023-1561. The Supplemental Design Guidelines for GSQ Regional Center were administratively approved by the Development Plan Review team on August 16, 2023.
Per Section 15-2-3(C)(2) of the City of Goodyear Subdivision Ordinance, this project does not require a Preliminary Plat since it involves ten or fewer lots.

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.
