Total Anticipated On-going Tax Revenues Associated with JDEDZ <br />Attachment 2 identifies the total expected net additional tax revenues that the JDEDZ will <br />generate in the first 25 -years including Sales Taxes, Property Taxes, Transient Occupancy <br />Taxes (TOT), and Vehicle In -lieu taxes6. As described in Attachment 4. the City is <br />expected to receive a total of $84.2 million in net new tax revenues in the first 25 -years of <br />the JDEDZ. Of that amount, under the proposed sales tax sharing proposal with Costco, <br />the City would receive $76.4 million or 91% of those new revenues and Costco would <br />receive $7.8 million or 9% of those new revenues. <br />Using Growth in Taxes to Fund Infrastructure Improvements in Other Cities <br />While the City of Pleasanton has not used tax revenues generated by a development to <br />help fund transportation improvements required for that development, this practice has <br />been utilized in other cities. For example, Livermore, Ukiah and Manteca used some of the <br />sales tax growth from development to help pay for infrastructure improvements required by <br />development. California's Redevelopment Agencies regularly utilized property tax growth <br />generated by development (tax increment financing) to help pay for the infrastructure <br />improvements required for the development to occur. Further, cities routinely use tax <br />sharing agreements to attract large sales tax generating businesses to their communities <br />including the cities of Dublin, Pittsburg, Mountain View, Elk Grove and Manteca. <br />POLICY QUESTION #2: What is Council's preferred financing option at this time for <br />the cost of the necessary transportation improvements? <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />ALH Economics. an urban and regional economic consulting firm under contract to the <br />City, prepared a fiscal impact analysis of the JDEDZ that was published as part of the <br />FSEIR. <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 Fund7 at the completion of the first phase (which includes <br />the club retail and hotel uses). This net revenue estimate (takes into account both sales <br />tax and property tax) increases to $2.1 to $2.3 million annually8 upon full buildout of the <br />JDEDZ. At full buildout these net fiscal revenues represent an annual contribution <br />equivalent to approximately 2.1 percent to 2.3 percent of the City's General Fund <br />expenditures. These revenue estimates do not include any City contributions to the <br />transportation improvements required by the JDEDZ. <br />Please refer to Attachment 2. Annual Net Fiscal Impact Analysis, for a summary of the <br />fiscal analysis. In addition to the revenue shown in Attachment 2 (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 />6 All tax revenues estimates exclude estimates of leakage from revenues currently received from other <br />Pleasanton stores. Thus, the revenues identified in Attachment 2 would be new to Pleasanton. <br />' In 2015/16 dollars. <br />8 In 2015/16 dollars. <br />Page 15 of 16 <br />
