Pleasanton General Plan Fiscal Impact Analysis Final Report 01/16/14 • Other Public/Quasi-Public Uses: These uses, including institutional space, religious facilities, schools, day care, and parking spaces, are projected to experience growth through buildout with only mortuary/cemetery acreage remaining fixed. While some of these uses result in small fiscal revenues and expenditures, their impact on the overall City budget is negligible.4 Some of the growth in these uses is projected to support future population and employment growth, the impacts of which will be captured elsewhere in the fiscal impact analysis. For example, the increase in the number of students, driving school and day care projections, will be captured under the household growth based on the residential housing projections. Development Capacity In addition to category exclusions described above, adjustments to the baseline General Plan projections have been made by the City staff and EPS to reflect that growth will likely occur at below the maximum allowed development capacity. In addition, some of the projects envisioned in the General Plan are no longer expected to capitalize. The adjusted projections reflect the most likely growth outcome, which falls below the maximum capacity estimate. In addition, this analysis excludes any growth in East Pleasanton, a large undeveloped area in the City. The East Pleasanton Specific Plan (EPSP) is currently in the works. However, this ongoing planning effort has yet to provide a definitive development program. The approach described above results in adjusted projections, grouped under residential, hospitality, commercial, recreation, and public/quasi-public classifications, as summarized in Table 5. It is based on the most current available data and forms the basis for the EPS fiscal impact analysis. Population, and Employment Projections Population Projections Pleasanton currently has an average household size of 2.8. Based on the 2010 Census, this analysis assumes that new housing units will accommodate a range of household sizes ranging from 2.0 in multifamily rental units to 3.0 in single-family detached units. Additionally, an average household size of 1.5 in elderly housing and 1 person per bed in retirement/ convalescent housing is assumed. These assumptions yield a total population increase of approximately 10,800 through buildout, as shown in Table 6. 4 Some of these uses, including institutional space, religious facilities, and schools are likely to be exempt from the property tax roll while some of the other quasi-public uses may also be exempted from property taxes depending on their ownership structure.
