(A) As a precondition to the adoption of this chapter, the Town Council undertook a comprehensive and detailed park and recreational impact analysis through the employment for that purpose of Lehman. The Town Council now finds that the resulting study and data base constitute a sufficient study to constitute a “Zone Improvement Plan” as contemplated by I.C. 36-7-4-1318.
(B) The Town Council does hereby adopt the Plan prepared by Lehman, dated March 2022, as its Zone Improvement Plan and specifically finds that said Zone Improvement Plan contains the following elements:
(1) Reasonable estimates relating to the nature and location of development that is expected within the Impact Zone during the planning period, which, for purposes of this chapter, is defined to be a period of ten years commencing with the date of adoption hereof;
(2) A reasonable determination of the community level of service for the Impact Zone;
(3) A reasonable determination of the current level of service provided within the Impact Zone;
(4) A reasonable estimate of the nature, location, sequencing, and timing of the park and recreational requirements and costs necessary to provide the community level of service for the developments contemplated in division (B)(1) of this section;
(5) A reasonable estimate of the share of the park and recreational costs identified in division (B)(4) above that will be used to:
(a) Raise the current level of service for existing development; or
(b) Provide service to new development.
(6) A reasonable estimate of revenues that:
(a) Are from sources other than impact fees; and
(b) Will be used to finance the cost identified in division (B)(5)(a) above.
(7) A description of the nature and location of existing infrastructure in the Impact Zone; and
(8) A general description of the sources and amounts of money used to pay for infrastructure during the previous five years. Additionally, the Town Council hereby specifically adopts the Zone Improvement Plan as an official part of the Comprehensive Plan of the Town of Cicero, pursuant to I.C. 36-7-4-500 et seq.
