Impact analysis
No cost to the city's general fund — bond repayment falls entirely on future homeowners in Areas 8 and 13 via special taxes.
New-home buyers get parks and roads built sooner, and the city gets infrastructure funded by development rather than existing taxpayers.
Buyers in those neighborhoods will carry the special tax on top of regular property taxes and other CFD levies.
