Development impact assessment involves a process that comprehensively evaluates the consequences of development on a community. The assessment process should be an integral part of the planning process as it provides extensive documentation of the anticipated municipal, school district, economic, fiscal, transportation, social, and environmental-related impacts of a particular development on a community.

The development impact assessment process makes use of existing information, where possible to determine potential impacts of a proposed development. It also employs techniques to gather additional, new information, where necessary. Development impact assessment provides a framework to integrate these data, models, spatial and statistical analyses and experiences in other locales to predict development impacts. For each, impact area (i.e., municipal, school district, economic, fiscal, transportation, social, and environmental), this software provides a series of on screen forms and other methods that may be used to collect information that will assist local officials and planners in assessing impacts.
