Continue activity at southwest quadrant. <br />Immediate Recommendations <br />Complete necessary due diligence to achieve Tier 4 status on top sites. <br />❑ Geotechnical, Wetland Delineations, Topographic & ALTA Boundary Surveys, etc. <br />Tier 4 is considered "Certifiable" status and has eliminated any UNKNOWNS or <br />RISKS regarding site or infrastructure development that could negatively impact timeline for <br />development. Generally 9 -12 months of development timeline. <br />BUDGET: Site dependent but generally $1,000 to $1,500 per Acre with infrastructure <br />already in place (significantly increases value of property on a per acre basis) <br />Immediate Recommendations <br />❑ Align zoning within CITAN's and EDD's to be consistent with preferred development goals <br />Immediate Recommendations <br />Consider adjusting boundaries of EDD's /CITAN's AND Water & Sewer Districts to include large <br />tracts adjacent to these districts with low cost of development (utility extensions, etc.). <br />Significant property within the EDD's and CITAN's have been lost to Non or Minimal Tax Paying <br />entities such schools, soccer fields, solar farms, etc. In order to potentially gain that area back <br />there may be opportunities to expand or redraw the boundaries of the EDD's and or <br />CITAN's. There are a few larger tracts with minimal environmental impacts located near or <br />adjacent to the existing EDD's/CITAN's that could be explored; however this may mean <br />adjusting the water sewer agreements. <br />BUDGET: $10,000 to $15,000 in Consultant time to evaluate parcels as well as Staff Time <br />Thinking outside the EDD's and CITAN's - Buckhorn CITAN — Example Parcels- MAP <br />Study Recommendations <br />Complete a countywide water and sewer study to identify options to increase water and sewer <br />capacities. <br />A countywide water and sewer study would identify opportunities to increase and expand water <br />and sewer capacities within each service area. A full study would help the County to better <br />understand the limiting factors and what the cost and timelines are needed to increase the <br />availability. The ED staff is losing opportunities regularly based on not being able to meet the <br />demands for water and /or sewer. <br />This needs to be completed on behalf of the County, and not the jurisdictions or authorities who <br />own and manage the water & sewer systems. <br />BUDGET: $75,000 to $100,000 <br />Study Recommendations <br />Complete a GIS Site Selection Study to identify sites with greatest development potential near <br />or adjacent to development corridors. <br />A GIS site selection study is a non -bias computer based site selection study that can look over <br />all parcels within a county or selected area to determine developability based on selection <br />criteria defined. For example, if the parameters were to identify all parcels with XX acres of <br />
