A cost/revenue_study has been conducted for the proposed annexation territory that indicates that annexation can be fiscally positive for the Town. o Actively discouraging proposed developments which will not likely contribute to the overall well-being of the community. The proposed annexation will provide the Town with the land use controls to assure development compatible with the Town's General Plan and land use related ordinances. o Actively encouraging through annexation, the full participation of developing properties in the cost of providing basic public services. Development of the proposed annexation territory, because of its location east of the Sycamore Valley and Crow Canyon Corridor Areas, will place major demands upon existing public services and infrastructure within the Town of Danrills, particularly roads and intersection improvements. Within the Sycamore Valley and Crow Canyon Corridor Areas, the Town has established public improvement financing plans that assure that needed facilities are adequately funded. A similar financing plan will be applied to the proposed annexation territory.
