In accordance with the Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance, any new development which impacts this intersection cannot proceed until these existing deficiencies are corrected. In the absence of any capital improvement funding for this intersection, two developers are electing to privately fund these improvements in order to proceed with their development projects. These two developers, owners of the bulk of the impacted property, are proposing the initiation of a special improvement district (SID) which will assess a portion of the costs of the improvements to the other owners of undeveloped property in the area that will benefit by the improvements.
