Kosmont Companies estimated the construction cost of the Project to be $48.1M and as a <br />result their property tax estimate is $125,000 to the City in the first year after completion of <br />the construction of the Project, escalating by approximately 2 percent each year thereafter. <br />Other Tax Revenues <br />In addition to sales tax and property tax revenues, the Project will generate additional <br />annual tax revenues to the City. An example of this other tax revenues would be business <br />license revenues. Business license revenues are calculated as a percentage of gross receipts. <br />Based on this the other tax revenues were estimated to be approximately $20,000 per year <br />in the May 2007 report. <br />Kosmont Companies has estimated these revenues to be approximately $25,000 per year <br />based on gross receipts for purposes of calculating the City's business license tax which is <br />the largest component of other taxes. <br />Total Additional Tax Revenues <br />In summary, the net additional annual tax revenues to the City for the proposed Pleasanton <br />Gateway project are estimated to be as follows for each of the reports as presented: <br /> May 2007 October 2007 Regency <br />Revenues Original Estimate Updated Estimate Estimates <br />Sales Tax $370,000 $250,000 $678,000 <br />Property Tax 100,000 100,000 125,000 <br />Other Taxes 20,000 20,000 25,000 <br />Total $490,000 $370,000 $825,000 <br />Expenditures: Impact on the Cost of City Services <br />There are several ways to calculate the impact of the new retail development (193,481 <br />square feet) on current city services (average costing) and on the required increase in city <br />services (marginal costing). On an average cost basis, assuming that this project does not <br />cause an incremental increase in city services, but rather lowers the cost of services on a <br />per square feet cost of city services based on developed property (i.e., 80 million square <br />feet of existing development before the project and 80.2 million square feet of development <br />after the project is accepted) and based on the current City General Fund budget of $78.8M <br />net of direct program revenues, the additional cost of services would be approximately $1 <br />per square foot of additional retail space or $190,000. <br />If the cost of service analysis is based on the incremental increase in city services required <br />as a result of developing this project, Staff's best guestimate of the incremental increase in <br />City services would be mostly in the area of public safety, code enforcement and street <br />maintenance as shown in the following table: <br />
