Key Benefits of Proposed Annexation and Zoning

• A reduction of 342 dwelling units, a 38% decrease
• Provides a variety of housing options for current and future residents
• An updated development agreement (DA)
• Conveyance of the underlying ground water rights upon recordation of the DA
• Establishes restrictive landscape regulations
• Contributions to important Public Works projects
• Provides cash-in-lieu for a new well site
• A logical infill annexation to fill in hole in the Town’s boundary
Budget Impact
The proposed annexation and zoning will generate review fees. In addition, there are DA obligations and impact fees required at the time of annexation and with future site plans, plats and subdivision improvement obligations that will offset Town costs.
