Market Assessment and Fiscal Impact Analysis <br /> of the Pleasanton Gateway Business Park <br /> Report 3/31/10 <br /> Other Costs <br /> Other expenditures may be necessary to ensure a desired level of service provision to the <br /> Project. These costs may include a number of municipal expenditures, such as transportation, <br /> infrastructure improvements, and open space. It is anticipated that further plan documents will <br /> specify the amount and type of facilities that will provide the basis for detailed annual operating <br /> costs. <br /> Net Fiscal Impact <br /> Impact of Proposed Project <br /> Based on the assumptions and analysis above, the annual net fiscal impact associated with the <br /> proposed development is estimated to grow from approximately $123,000 after the first year of <br /> development to $285,000 a year after buildout, as summarized in Table 16. The project is <br /> estimated to generate about $835,000 in General Fund revenues by year 5 compared to <br /> $550,000 in General Fund costs. <br /> Allocation Among Project Components <br /> The development's components will have different contributions to the overall fiscal impact of the <br /> Project. An estimate of the individual impacts of each land use is provided in Table 17. As <br /> shown, about 14 percent of the project -wide fiscal surplus a year after buildout is allocated to <br /> the Safeway grocery store, 3 percent to drive - through retail uses, 22 percent to other retail, and <br /> 62 percent is attributed to the office component. 9 <br /> It is important to note that the allocation provided in Table 17 is hypothetical as the Project's <br /> individual components would perform differently in isolation compared to the cumulative impact <br /> evaluated in this analysis. In other words, the Project is assumed to benefit from the synergetic <br /> effect of its components contributing to the overall performance (the cluster of uses creates a <br /> project identity, office workers contribute to on -site retail sales, etc.). A more extensive study <br /> would be necessary to evaluate how or whether an individual project component would generate <br /> a positive General Fund surplus if developed in isolation. In addition, since no such proposal <br /> exists, it is not clear if a significantly modified project would be feasible from a market or <br /> financial perspective. <br /> 9 The allocation analysis assumes that the existing land value is allocated among the Project's <br /> components according to the building value and that all new sales generated by the office employees <br /> are off site. <br /> Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 27 P:ueaoos 18101P teesanron\Repor0191OUpt8soc <br />
