HELP-Do taxes rise when an areas developed?

I sit on a planning board of a rural township. I have proposed some major changes to our zoning ordinances because the actual costs of developing land outweighs the income to the township. I need some good sorces of credible data about how non commercial, residential housing actually jacks up the taxation rates due to increased demands on services.
We are being inundated by development proposals and we are talking with farm owners to place their lands in irrevocable transver of development rights covenants (TODs)

I live in a state whose population has stayed fairly stable for 30 years but development pressure from mature suburbs into the rural areas (thus creating rubuirbs) is getting outrageous.
Of course I wish to save the countryside. But I need to make the other commissioners and supervisors understand how the initial "fees" for building permits will be swallowed and consumed by the later tax bill increase as the demands for services kick in.
Any help would be appreciated, I know we have some bright land management types out there.
