Impact Study Clause Samples
An Impact Study clause requires the parties to assess and document the potential effects of a proposed action, change, or project before it is implemented. Typically, this involves conducting a formal analysis to evaluate possible risks, benefits, and consequences, which may include environmental, financial, or operational impacts. By mandating such a study, the clause ensures that decisions are made with a clear understanding of their implications, thereby reducing unforeseen negative outcomes and supporting informed, responsible planning.
Impact Study. (1) An impact study shall be required for any preliminary plat or comprehensive development plan containing either ten (10) or more lots or five (5) or more acres. The subdivider shall be responsible for preparation of the impact study, and the impact study shall be filed at the time application is made. No application for preliminary plat approval will be complete until the Village Clerk has determined that the impact study is complete and in acceptable form.
(2) The impact study shall describe the impact of the proposed development on the following public facilities and shall analyze the adequacy of the following public facilities to serve the proposed development: public water; sanitary sewer; storm sewer and other public stormwater drainage facilities; fire, police and emergency medical facilities; parks, open space and recreation facilities; transportation facilities; and school facilities.
(3) The Plan Commission and Village Board shall cooperate with the subdivider by providing information in the Village’s possession regarding the Village’s public facilities. The Plan Commission may have its own consultants, including but not limited to Village staff and the Village Engineer, review the impact study and prepare their own evaluation of the adequacy of public facilities to serve the proposed development. If the Plan Commission concludes that the subdivider’s impact study is inadequate or inaccurate, the Plan Commission may reject the subdivider’s impact study. Any rejection of a subdivider’s impact study shall be accompanied by a description of the reason or reasons for the rejection.
Impact Study. The Task Force shall undertake a comprehensive impact study on the implementation of PL 11-69 relative to the following:
(1) The Commonwealth’s need for non-resident workers;
(2) The effectiveness of programs and opportunities for resident workers to replace non-resident workers in the private sector work force;
(3) Competitive employment in the public sector; and
(4) Assessment of the above criteria on the basis of industry, occupational categories, professional, technical, managerial, supervisory and line positions. For the purposes of this subsection, the Task Force is authorized to request any information reasonably related to the function for which the Task Force was created from any government or private agency. As permitted by its resources, all government agencies are required to cooperate and promptly comply with such requests by the Task Force. The Task Force is further authorized to conduct public hearings, provided that notice of such hearing is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the Commonwealth, once a week for two consecutive weeks prior to the date of the meeting.
