Financial Analysis:
The annexation area does not require significant infrastructure investment on the City’s behalf.
Using the assumptions provided by the developer, the financial analysis model shows a
positive net cash flow over the five-year review period. The results of the financial
analysis model are highly sensitive to the assumptions related to the timing and amount of public safety service investments and the absorption rate.
Options
Pass the Annexation Ordinance: RECOMMENDED.
Pros: The site is contiguous to the current corporate limits and is proposed for future commercial development.
Cons: None
Deny the Annexation Ordinance: Pros: None
Cons: This action would conflict with past actions associated with contiguous property proposed for future commercial development.
