city limits, making it likely to develop during the planning period. This site is also collocated with <br />multiple other potential industrial expansion sites, allowing for efficiencies in the cost to extend urban <br />services to this site. Overall economic consequences from expanding onto this site for industrial use <br />would be positive. <br />Social: Expanding the UGB for industrial use in this location would have neutral social consequences <br />given the separation from residential areas. Should several of the potential sites in a contiguous area be <br />selected for industrial expansion, the collective impact would have both positive consequences of an <br />employment hub and potential negative consequences resulting in additional regulation. Overall social <br />consequences from expanding onto this site for industrial use would be neutral. <br />Summary: Due to minimal environmental, energy, economic and social concerns associated with <br />expanding on this site, Site P4.7k is considered as a candidate industrial expansion site in Section Ill.g, <br />below. <br />Site P4.71 - <br />This site is 29.1 contiguous acres of a 40.1 acre tax lot designated Agricultural. Rural land not under <br />consideration surrounding the site is designated Agricultural. The site is bordered by Clear Lake Road to <br />the north. <br />Environmental: Expansion onto this site for industrial purposes would create an industrial site adjacent <br />to tax lots identified for a school expansion and tax lots under consideration for a community park, and <br />near other potential industrial sites across Clear Lake Road. This adjacency to a park or school would be <br />unlikely to have negative environmental consequences, given the developed nature of these uses. This <br />limited adjacency could significantly reduce potential environmental consequences. Overall <br />environmental consequences from expanding onto this site for industrial use would be neutral. <br />Energy: The mix of surrounding uses and the adjacency of this site to the current UGB and proximity to <br />the airport suggests positive energy impacts due to efficient location of employment relative to other <br />uses. Overall energy consequences from expanding onto this site for industrial use would be positive. <br />Economic: A UGB expansion to include Site P4.71 would have positive economic consequences, as the tax <br />lot containing it is connected to the UGB by the identified school expansion and other potential <br />industrial sites and relatively near the city limits, making it likely to develop during the planning period. <br />This site is also collocated with multiple other potential industrial expansion sites, allowing for <br />efficiencies in the cost to extend urban services to this site. Overall economic consequences from <br />expanding onto this site for industrial use would be positive. <br />Social: Expanding the UGB for industrial use in this location would have slight potentially negative social <br />consequences based on the adjacency to the identified school expansion. Should several of the potential <br />sites in a contiguous area be selected for industrial expansion, the collective impact would have both <br />positive consequences of an employment hub and potential negative consequences resulting in <br />additional regulation. Overall social consequences from expanding onto this site for industrial use would <br />be neutral. <br />Appendix B to Findings May 2017 Page 104 <br />
