§ 33-338. Findings of fact.

The board hereby finds and determines, pursuant to section 190.005(2) of the Act, based on the testimony and evidence presented before it and the record established at the public hearing that:

(1)

All statements within the petition are true and correct.

(2)

Establishment of the district and all land uses and services planned within the proposed district are not inconsistent with applicable elements or portions of the state comprehensive plan or the local comprehensive plan adopted by the county.

(3)

The area of land within the district, described in exhibit A, is of a sufficient size, is sufficiently compact and is sufficiently contiguous to be developed as one (1) functional interrelated community.

(4)

The district provides the best alternative available for delivering community development services and facilities to the area to be served by the proposed district without imposing an additional burden on the general population of the local general-purpose government. The establishment of the district will provide for a more efficient use of resources without burdening the general body of taxpayers in the county with the cost of installing the infrastructure and managing, operating and maintaining the community services and facilities.

(5)

The community development services and facilities of the district will not be incompatible with the capacity and uses of existing local and regional community development services and facilities. In addition, the establishment of the district will provide an entity capable of making reasonable provisions for the operation and maintenance of the district services and facilities.

(6)

The area to be served by the proposed district is amenable to separate independent special-district government.
