Pleasanton Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Draft Report 04/23/18 Demographic and Land Use Assumptions This section describes the demographic and land use assumptions utilized in this study for both existing and future General Plan buildout conditions (i.e., through 2030). The estimates are used for the following primary purposes in the fee calculation: • Estimates of existing population and employment levels are used to formulate service standards for specific capital improvement categories as well as to ascertain existing needs relative to existing standards. • Estimates of future population and employment growth in the City are the basis for determining the future need for some of the capital facilities which can be appropriately funded by the fee. • Estimates related to population and employment density (e.g., persons per household or employees per square foot) are used to allocate costs between land use categories. Population and Employment Growth Projections This fee study relies on the amount of population and employment growth projected to occur in the City through buildout of the General Plan, which is estimated to occur in 2040. At buildout, the General Plan anticipates development of 30,700 residential dwelling units (86,400 residents) and 30.0 million square feet of commercial development (80,900 jobs). Population and employment projections are based on assumptions that include translating the General Plan land use categories to the fee categories, vacancy rates, number of people per household, and square feet per employee. Table 2 shows the existing development and growth projections by land use and Table 3 shows the resulting projected population and employment.
