GOAL: "New Lubbock, carry your own weight!"
New outside Loop 289 sub-divisions must carry their own weight, and prove their development will be budget neutral to the rest of Lubbock based on their long-term costs. This starts with maximum impact fees across the board for New Lubbock sub-divisions and none for Old Lubbock ones. The City would also pass an Act of the Council stating the policy orientation of the city will be fully aligned to prevent new sub-division development in the South and Southwest, every possible avenue for denial utilized.
