such as ozone and nitrogen dioxide, are widely distributed throughout the Bay Area's air <br /> basin. With respect to the local effects of toxic air contaminants such as diesel particulate <br /> matter (DPM) and small/respirable particulate matter (PM2.5), the analysis in the DSEIR <br /> found that effects would be less than significant, with mitigation required only if a sensitive <br /> use, such as senior housing, be proposed within the EDZ). The distance between the <br /> proposed JDEDZ area and the Val Vista neighborhood (approximately 1,000 feet for <br /> locations within the JDEDZ except that of the existing Fed Ex facility) would preclude new <br /> uses within the JDEDZ from generating significant localized air quality impacts to this <br /> neighborhood. Please refer to Master Response to Comments About Impacts to the Val <br /> Vista and other Neighborhoods Near the Proposed EDZ (Attachment 2 — Final <br /> RTC/FSEIR Master Reponses). <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> ALH Economics, an urban and regional economics consulting firm under contract to the <br /> City, prepared a fiscal impact analysis of the JDEDZ based upon the methodology and <br /> assumptions included in a fiscal impact study prepared for the JDEDZ in February 2015. <br /> The complete fiscal analysis is part of the Economic Analysis, which is prepared as <br /> Appendix A of the RTC/FSEIR, is available by link: <br /> http://www.cityofpleasantonca.gov/JDEDZRTCFSEIRMar2016. <br /> The earlier study was updated to take into account the City's Fiscal Year 2015/16 budget, <br /> as well as operating characteristics specific to the JDEDZ, such as likely taxable sales <br /> and sales that could be diverted from existing businesses in the market area. <br /> The fiscal impact analysis results indicate that on a worst case basis, assuming that all <br /> diverted sales are diverted from Pleasanton retailers (as opposed to retailers outside of <br /> Pleasanton), the JDEDZ is anticipated to generate a projected $1.4 to $1.7 million annual <br /> contribution to the City's General Fund at the completion of the first phase (which includes <br /> the club retail and hotel uses). This net revenue estimate increases to $2.1 to $2.3 million <br /> annually upon full buildout of the JDEDZ. At full buildout these net fiscal revenues <br /> represent an annual contribution equivalent to approximately 2.1 percent to 2.3 percent <br /> of the City's General Fund expenditures. Although these revenue estimates do not include <br /> any City contributions to the traffic improvements required by the JDEDZ, as noted above <br /> under "Timing and Finding of Traffic Mitigation Measures," the City's position is that the <br /> entire cost of the required improvements will be funded by future development applicants, <br /> future tenants, city traffic impact fees, and a portion of new sales tax revenues generated <br /> by the project. All improvements would need to be completed prior to occupancy of any <br /> significant new use within the proposed JDEDZ. <br /> Please refer to Attachment 5, Annual Net Fiscal Impact Analysis, for a summary of the <br /> fiscal analysis. In addition to the revenue shown in Attachment 5 (which focuses on City <br /> revenues and expenditures), property taxes generated from the JDEDZ would provide <br /> approximately $277,440 in annual revenue to the Pleasanton Unified School District <br /> (PUSD) and approximately $30,440 in annual revenue to other schools. The JDEDZ <br /> would also generate one-time supplemental taxes of approximately$42,725 to PUSD and <br /> $4,690 to other schools. <br /> Page 8 of 10 <br />
