Fiscal Analysis of Proposed Dublin IKEA; EPS #12078
November 18, 2003
This Technical Memorandum evaluates the comparative fiscal effects of two
development scenarios for a 27-acre site in Eastern Dublin. The subject property,
situated along Hacienda Drive between 1-580 and Dublin Boulevard, was originally
designated for office development when the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan was adopted.
Subsequently a 780,000-square foot office development was proposed by Commerce
One. This project was placed on hold in 2001 following a series of setbacks in the high
technology industry.
More recently, the IKEA Corporation has proposed developing a 317,000-square foot
IKEA store, as well as 137,000 square feet of additional "outparcel" retail buildings. This
fiscal analysis compares the fiscal performance (municipal revenues minus municipal
service costs) of the proposed retail development with the office development that was
originally envisioned. The findings presented in this Memorandum are influenced by a
range of data and assumptions, including those provided by the City of Dublin, the
IKEA Corporation, and through inde pendent analysis by the consultant. When
presented with a range of plausible values for a given assumption, the conservative
alternative was selected.
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
1. Development of the subject property is expected to result in a net fiscal surplus
under either the office or retail development scenarios.
Table I provides a summary of the fiscal analysis. While both projects would be
fiscally positive, the proposed retail development can be expected to result in a
significantly higher net fiscal surplus than the office alternative, if developed as
proposed.

General Fund revenues associated with the proposed IKEA project are expected to
total $1.8 million annually at buildout, while General Fund costs are expected to
approach $583,000 annually. Pursuant to the 1993 tax sharing agreement with
Alameda County, the City's revenue from the development would be reduced by
roughly $538,000, resulting in a net annual fiscal surplus of $680,000.
Development of the 780,000-square foot office project originally proposed for the
subject property could be expected to generate approximately $555,000 in General
Fund revenues, $486,000 in annual costs, and $56,000 in county tax sharing
obligation. The net result is an estimated annual fiscal surplus of $13,000. The office
market in the Dublin/Pleasanton submarket will need to regain its strength before an
office project of the magnitude originally proposed by Commerce One would be
built. This means that it could be many years before any of the municipal revenues
or costs would be realized.
2. Sales tax would be the primary revenue contributor from the retail development.
o
Sales taxes imposed on retail sales would generate an estimated $1.5 million
annually, 85 percent of the retail development's annual contribution to the City's
General Fund (see Table 1). As projected, the sales tax generated by the
development would represent roughly 12 percent of the City's estimated sales tax for
fiscal year 2002-2003. Although General Fund revenues from the office development
would come primarily from property tax, about 29 percent of the General Fund
revenue contributed by the office development would be from sal es tax, assuming
typical "point of sale" business activities occur in the office project. As projected, the
office alternative would produce about 1 percent ($160,000) of the estimated sales tax
received by the City in fiscal year 2002-2003. This sales revenue would come from a
combination of point-of-sale transactions in the offices, employees shopping in
nearby facilities, and the on-site cafeteria.
Property taxes would be a significant revenue stream for the City under either
alternative.
Development of the proposed IKEA project can. be expected to generate around
$247,000 in property tax revenues, which accounts for 14 percent of all General Fund
revenues expected from the project (see Table 1). However, the City's tax sharing
agreement with Alameda County provides for property tax reductions that will
absorb all of the property tax revenues generated by the IKEA project. The
originally proposed office development would generate roughly $323,000 in annual
property tax revenues to the City at buildout. This represents 58 percent of total
revenues associated with the office project alternative. A portion of this revenue
stream will be diverted to the County's General Fund through the tax sharing
agreement.

The 27-acre site is part ora larger project area that is subject to a tax sharing
agreement between the City of Dublin and the County of Alameda.
According to a Tax Sharing Agreement entered into by the City of Dublin and
Alameda County the County is entitled to a "property tax reduction" from the City
equal to 35 percent of all retail sales taxes generated on the property.~ The proposed
IKEA project would result in a "property tax reduction" of approximately $538,000.
The proposed office development would likely result in a much smaller reduction of
roughly $56,000.
Municipal service costs associated with either the retail or the office development
would be dominated by costs for providing police protection and fire protection.
Over 90 percent of the total General Fund expenditures under either scenario are
expected to be associated with the Public Safety expenditures, as shown in Table 1.
The proposed IKEA project can be expected to result in Public Safety expenditures
totaling $564,000 and total General Fund expenditures of $583,000. The office
development would require approximately $445,000 in Public Safety expenditures
and $486,000 in total General Fund expenditures.
FISCAL ANALYSIS DATA AND ASSUMPTIONS
To evaluate the types and magnitude of ea ch project's fiscal impact, a number of
assumptions were necessary to translate the respective project descriptions (see Table 2)
into estimates of employees, tax revenues, and municipal service costs to the City of
Dublin. The City's Fiscal Year 2002-2003 budget, interviews with City staff, and
independent research contributed to this effort. Demographic data that were required in
the analysis are presented in Table 3. For each cost and revenue item, the most
appropriate forecasting methodology was identified and applied to the project
description, as summarized below and illustrated in Table 4:
Daytime Populationz. Cost and revenue items that are assumed to increase or
decrease in relation to the number of people (residents and employees) citywide are
estimated using a value per capita. First, the number of people that are expected to
have an impact on the City's revenues and expenditures is calculated. Both residents
and employee s impact the City's budget, though the amount of the impact differs.
Consistent with the City's methods used in other fiscal studies, the daytime
population is defined as the residential population plus 24 percent of employment.
This calculation accounts for the relative service burden that re sidents versus
~ Exceptions to this requirement exist, as are explained later in this Memorandum.
2 A review of the per capita model assumptions made by MuniFinancial indicates that MuniFinancial
assumes that the employee service population causes different impacts on the City for revenues and
expenditures. The weight of the service population for revenues is 30% and for costs is 17%. As per a
conversation with a Principal at MuniFinancial, Bob Spencer, the average of these two weights (24 percent)
has been used for both revenues and expenditures in this model, as described above and detailed in the
accompanying tables.

employees place upon the City. Second, the proportion of each budget item that is
likely to increase or decrease (the variable portion) in relation to the size of the
daytime population is estimated. Only the variable portiOn of the budget item is
used to calculate the value per capita. Third, the citywide variable value per person
was applied to the estimated daytime population of each project?
Road Miles. Most of the Transportation Department budget is most appropriately
linked to the creation and maintenance of roads. EPS estimated the cost of these
budget items per one mile of road (road miles).
Case Study. A "case study" approach is used to calculate budget items for which
none of the above approaches is deemed appropriate, such as sales and property
taxes. These are described further in the following section.
Not Affected. Some budget items were not estimated because City revenues and
expenditures will not be affected by new development associated with these project
alternatives. Budget items, such as the Motor Vehicle Tax, that are linked solely to
residential population were not estimated because neither alternative will directly
increase the number of City residents.
REVENUE ANALYSIS
The following discussion outlines the analysis that was undertaken for each of the
development scenarios, the results of which are incorporated into Table 4. Sales Tax,
Property Tax, Transient Occupancy Tax, and Development Impact Fees are the revenues
for which a case study was completed. They are discussed below in the order of most
significant budget impacts from the IKEA retail proposal. In addition, there are two case
studies that explain the anticipated Department of Public Safety expenditures.
SALES TAX REVENUE
Either proposal can be expected to generate sales tax revenues for the City of Dublin
through a combination of point-of-sale transactions and increased retail expenditures
outside of the study area by new employees of the project. The retail development,
anchored by IKEA, is expected to generate over $1.5 million in sales tax revenue while
the office development can be expected to create about $160,000 in sales tax revenue
(see Table 5).
3 Because neither the retail nor office development will produce new Dublin residents, the daytime
population in terms of the potential projects is half of the projected employment.

IKEA Retail Development
At buildout, the retail development has the potential to provide a significant annual
revenue stream for the City's General Fund. With a total of 454,000 square feet in the
retail development, 319,368 square feet of which contribute to taxable sales (see Table 2),
the proposed development can be expected to generate $154 million in taxable sales at
project stabilization annually (see Table 5).
As shown in Table 2, the project description assumes retail sales per square foot of $550
for the IKEA store, $620 for the IKEA restaurant, $350 for the outparcel retail space, and
$500 for the outparcel restaurants. These assumptions are based on a comprehensive
review of comparable retail tenants in similar market areas, as well as information
provided by IKEA Corporation. The weighted average of sales per square foot for the
retail and restaurant space was used in the calculations in Table 5. IKEA's weighted
average of sales per square foot is estimated to be $557, and the weighted average of the
outparcel sales per square foot is $380.
In addition to the sales generated on site, a small amount of taxable sales ($78,500) can
be expected from new employees of the development who shop in the surrounding area.
Together, both sources of retail sales can be expected to yield annual sales tax revenues
for the City of $1.5 million.
Office Development
The propos ed office development would provide only modes t sales tax revenue to the
City. Total sales tax revenue generated by the office development can be expected to
reach approximately $160,000 (see Table 5).
Most transactions conducted in an office setting would not generate sales tax, but there
are instances of point of sale transactions, which create taxable expenditures in an office
environment. As shown in Table 2, it is assumed that the office development will
generate $15 per square foot of taxable sales. In addition, the cafeteria will produce
approximately $400 per square foot. As with the retail analysis, the weighted average of
these sales per square foot assumptions was used to calculate the estimated taxable
expenditures. The weighted average sal es per square foot for the office development is
$17.52.
Office employees can also be expected to generate retail sales in the area surrounding
the office development. New taxable expenditures in the City of Dublin are estimated at
$2.6 million. These calculations suggest annual sales tax revenue for the City of $160,000
at project buildout.

PROPERTY TAX REVENUE
Both proposals will generate a significant amount of property tax for the City. The
Property Tax Revenue is derived from the improved value of each development. The
improved value of the retail proposal was assumed to closely approximate the cost of
construction. As shown in Table 6, this method results in an annual property tax
revenue to the City of approximately $247,000. The value of the office development was
more appropriately estimated by looking at the anticipated rent levels. The resulting
estimate of property tax collected by the City is $323,000 (see Table 7).
IKEA Retail Development
It is assumed that the improved value of the property is equal to the sum of the purchase
price of the land and construction costs (including both the buildings and parking lot).
The calculations and cost assumptions are presented in Table 6.
The IKEA Corporation has stated that they anticipate purchasing the land for around
$29.9 million. Estimates provided by IKEA indicate that construction of the Dublin store
would cost $110 per square foot. In addition to the construction of the building, it has
been assumed that IKEA will spend $2,500 per parking space. Using these assumed
values for the 317,000 square feet and 1,000 parking spaces in the project, the total
construction cost (improved value) of the building and parking lot totals $36 million.
Construction costs of the outparcels are comprised of the cost of constructing the shell
($180 per square foot), improving the interior ($70 per square foot), and developing the
parking lot ($2,500 per parking space). As a result, the improved value of the outparcels
is estimated to be $35 million. The total development cost of the retail proposal is
approximately $101 million. With a property tax allocation rate of 1.06 percent and a tax
allocation factor of 22.87 percent,4 the City can expect to receive approximately $247,000
annually from property taxes on this development.
Office Develop ment
Table 7 outlines the calculations for estimating the property tax collected by the City
from the office alternative. The value of the office development was determined using
conservative lease, vacancy, and capitalization rates.
Based on a review of the lease rates for Class A office space in Dublin and the
surrounding are a, it has been assumed that the development would command annual
lease rates of approximately $27 per square foot and require operating expenditures of
$8.50 per square foot. The net operating income per occupied square foot ($18.50) was
reduced to $16.65 in order to account for an assumed 10 percent vacancy rate. The result
is an estimated net operating income of $12.6 million. A 9.5 percent capitalization rate
produces an estimated value for the project of $133 million. The property tax allocation
rate (1.06 percent) and the tax allocation factor (22.87 percent) are the same for both the
The unusual tax allocation factor is stipulated in the Tax Sharing Agreement with the County.

retail and office proposals. Based on these calculations, the City can expect to receive
$323,000 in property tax revenue from the proposed office development on an annual
basis.
TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX REVENUE
In local markets that are not heavily influenced by leisure tourism, hotel demand is
generally expressed as a function of both the residential and office markets in the local
area. In fact, hotel market specialists assign an estimating factor for each resident and
office worker in an area to forecast future hotel demand. These estimating factors vary
from one source to the next, but for the purpose of this analysis, it is assumed that each
office employee will generate demand for 2.35 hotel room nights per year.
The number of office employees projected for each proposal was determined based on
the number of square feet allotted to each employee in a typical office setting. A widely
accepted industry average, which was used for both the retail and office alternatives, is
350 square feet per employee. The project description shown in Table 2 allocates the
total building square feet among reta il, restaurant, office, and warehouse uses. Of the
IKEA store's total building space, 6.5 percent has been allotted to office uses; no distinct
office space is designated for outparcels since traditional retail does not warrant this use.
Applying the as sumed square footage per employee to the estimated amount of office
space in each propos al yields 59 office employees for the retail alternative and 1,950
employees for the office alternative.
As shown in Table 8, the IKEA project can be expected to generate approximately $1,000
annually in Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenues, while the office development
would likely generate an estimated $31,000 in TOT revenue.
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES
In addition to the annual revenues discussed above, the City can expect one-time
revenues in the form of Development Impact Fees from each development in the year
before it opens. The City of Dublin provides an explanation for calculating the
approximate value of development impact fees based on the anticipated square footage
and development value of the proposed project. Applying these allocation amounts to
the project description (see Table 2) yields estimates for the one-time revenues. As
shown in Table 9, the retail alternative would produce an estimated $9.4 million in fees,
while the office development could be expected to generate approximately $5.8 million.
These fees are designed to recover the costs associated with new development and for
this reason are not considered in the net fiscal impact of either development on the City.

EXPENDITURES
PUBLIC SAFETY EXPENDITURES
As seen in Table 4, only the Police and Fire Departments should anticipate a significant
increase in expenditures due to either development. The increased Fire and Police
Department expenditures will result from an increase in the number of calls for service
due to the new development (see Tables 10 and 11). The proposed IKEA development
is expected to result in $564,000 in annual Public Safety expenditures (see Table 1) and
the office development would produce an es timated $445,000.
Fire Department Expenditures
The cost per call of service was determined using the fiscal year 2002-2003 Fire
Department Budget and the total calls for service in 2002 (see Table 10). While it is
recognized that the Fire Department has some overhead that will not be affected by new
development, it was not possible to estimate this amount. Therefore, the cost per call of
service is based on the total Fire Department budget. The cost for the Fire Department
to respond to each call averaged approximately $2,700.
In order to determine the level of service required by the IKEA retail development,
Hacienda Crossings, an approximately 500,000-square foot retail center located near the
proposed development, was us ed as a comparable location at the suggestion of the City.
Hacienda Crossings generated about 76 calls for service, or 0.17 calls per 1,000 square
' feet of development. This ratio was used for both the retail and office alternatives
because historic fire data were not available for a comparable office si te in Dublin. In
addition, experience in other cities indicates that office and retail generate calls for
service from Fire Departments at approximately the same rate.
With 454,000 square feet of retail, the proposed IKEA development would generate 77
calls for service annually, which results in an estimated cost to the Fire Department of
$210,000. The significantly larger office development (780,000 square feet) will generate
proportionately more calls for service and therefore have a larger impact on the Fire
Department's annual budget. The office development is expected to generate 133 calls
per year, with an estimated total cost of $363,000.
Police Department Expenditures
The method for estimating the police costs associated with each project uses the same
underlying principles that generated the estimate for the cos ts to the Fire Department.
However, the ratio of calls for service to square feet of development is adjusted to
account for the differences in retail and office development (see Table 11). The rapid
turnover in visitors to retail development, the layout of the stores, and the wide range of
people patronizing retail establishments are all factors that increase the likelihood that
police will be called. Because an office development has relatively little turnover
throughout the work d ay and most of the people on the premises are known, there is
generally less need for police service at office developments relative to retail
developments.

The fiscal year 2002-2003 Police Department budget was used as a starting place for this
analysis. As with the Fire Department, the full budget was used because it was not
possible to determine an estimate of the overhead associated with the Police
Department. With 52,708 calls for service in 2002, the average cost per call was $149.
Again, Hacienda Crossings was used as a proxy for the retail development; in 2002,
Hacienda Crossings had 3,082 calls for police service. Movie theaters and hotels
generally have higher crime rates than retail and restaurant uses. Because Hacienda
Crossings has a hotel and a movie theater, the calls for service was reduced by 25
percent. Excluding the hotel and movie theater from Hacienda Crossings yields
approximately 440,000 square feet of retail and restaurant uses. There were an estimated
5.24 calls for police service per 1,000 square feet of retail space at Hacienda Crossings in
2002.
Applying this ratio to the 454,000-square foot IKEA scenario produces an estimated
2,380 calls for service or an increase in Police Department costs associated with the IKEA
retail development of $354,000.
A review of comparable cities indicates that each 1,000 square feet of retail generates
between 7 and 8 times more calls for service than each 1,000 square feet of office space.
Therefore the ratio was reduced to 0.70 calls for service per 1,000 square feet of office
space. Applying this ratio to the 780,000-office development generates approximately
546 calls for police service annually. The total impact on the police budget associated
with the proposed office development would be about $81,000.
COUNTY TAX SHARING AGREEMENT
In 1993, the City of Dublin and County of Alameda entered into an Agreement to share
in the revenue stream resulting from development in East Dublin. The Agreement
pertains to five properties, each of which has a distinct methodology for calculating how
revenue will be shared between the City and County. The site evaluated as part of this
analysis is part of the "Santa Rita Property," a 613-acre area that was originally owned
by the Surplus Property Authority of Alameda County (Authority).
According to the Agreement, the City of Dublin receives a lower proportion (22.87
percent) of total sales taxes generated within the Santa Rita property than it otherwise
would. Throughout mos t of Dublin, the City receives 25.4 percent of sales tax revenues.
The Agreement provides for a Property Tax Reduction that is (in most cases) equal to 35
percent of the sales tax revenue generated within the Santa Rita property. In the event
that the Property Tax Reduction would exceed total property tax revenues received by
the City for the Santa Rita property, the difference is carried over to future years.
The proposed IKEA development is expected to generate approximately $1.5 million in
sales tax revenue, which would result in a Property Tax Reduction of about $538,000
(see Table 12). This Reduction amount ex ceeds the total property tax revenues of
$255,000 that are anticipated from the propos ed project. However, it is assumed that
existing development elsewhere within the Santa Rita property area generates sufficient

Chris Foss and Andy Byde
City of Dub[in

Page 10
property tax revenues to warrant the full Property Tax Reduction defined in the
Agreement. Consequently, Table 12 shows a negative value of $283,000 as the net
property tax revenue expected from the proposed IKEA project.
The office alternative is expected to generate about $160,000 in sales tax revenue,
resulting in a Property Tax Reduction of about $56,000. The net property tax revenue
that the City will collect is expected to be $267,000 from the office project.
NET FISCAL BALANCE
A summary of the General Fund revenues and expenditures associated with buildout of
each project alternative is presented in Table 1. Although both projects will result in a
net fiscal surplus, the proposed IKEA project would generate significantly more revenue
than the office alternative. At project buildout, the proposed IKEA project would result
in a net fiscal balance of $688,000. The office development, on the other hand, would
result in a net fiscal balance of roughly $13,000.
The fiscal impacts associated with the office development would not be realized as
quickly as those associated with the proposed IKEA project due to the lack of any
current market demand for the office use. Table 13 provides a time series comparison of
the two development scenarios. The IKEA development proposal is assumed to be built
in two phases. In the first year, assumed to be 2005, IKEA would open, and in the
following year the outparc els would be completed. By these assumptions, buildout is
assumed in 2006, which is when the City can expect to experience the full benefit of the
proposed development as discussed throughout this memorandum.
Due to a market decline in the regional office market, office development cannot be
expected to occur in the near term. Once construction begins, development is assumed
to occur in four equally sized phases. Phase I is assumed to come online in 2007 with
additional phases opening in 2009, 2011, and 2013. Therefore, the full budget impacts
discussed throughout this memorandum will be delayed until after completion in 2013.
Taking into consideration the long-term fiscal impacts of both development scenarios
highlights the fiscal differences in the proposals. The IKEA development is projected to
create a $~ million surplus ($7.5 million in today's dollars) between 2004 and 2013. The
office development is projected to create a $336,000 surplus ($276,000 in today's dollars)
during that same period (2004-2013).

(1) Percentage of costs in budget that increase/decrease as service population increases/decreases.
(2) Some items were not estimated because they were not expected to be impacted by either development alternative.
(3) "Amount per Allocation Method" = ("Percent Variable Cost" * "2002-03 General Fund") / "Allocation Method." The "Allocation Method" is expressed in
terms of Residential Population, Daytime Population, or Road Miles.
(4) "Estimated Budget Impact" = "Amount per Allocation Method" * the expected increase in units, found in Table 3.
(5) It is assumed that there will be no property transfers for either development scenario.
(6) "Other Revenue" includes "Other Revenues" and "Intergovernmental Revenues" line items from the City Budget.
(7) The revenue from Development Impact Fees is only collected once. In this analysis it is assumed that collection will occur the year before the commercial
development is open for business.
(8) The budget includes a "Non-Departmental" line item under General Govemment Administration in the amount of $350,000. This amount includes
$150,000 "Contingent Reserve" and $200,000 "Computers for our Schools Project." Neither of these amounts will be impacted by the proposed office or retail
projects, and this line item has not been included. For this reason, the Expenditures subtotal shown will be $350,000 less than the total printed in the
"Preliminary Budget and Financial Plan, Fiscal Year 2002-2003."
(9) "Administrative Services" accounts for the Finance and IT Departments.
(10) "Community Development" includes the Planning Department and the Building & Safety Department.
(11) Subtotal Expenditures is $350,000 less than the printed 'q-otal Operating Expenditures" of $29,616,914. See Footnote (8) for the explanation.

(1) The assessed value of the office development is calculated using the capitalization rate of the property rather than the
construction value because the rents collected from an office development are more reflective of the property's value
than the cost of developing the property. Lease revenue will be generated from the office space, not the accessory buildings.
Depending on the arrangement with the restaurant, there might be additional revenue from this source; regardless, it will be
a relatively minor contribution to the operating revenue and is not factored into these calculations due to the uncertainty.
Therefore, only the office square footage (760,000) is used to calculate the property's value. See Table 2.

relation to the Hacienda Crossings development. For the office development, the estimated calls for service were based on its
proportionate share of square feet in relation to IKEA project. This method was used because limited historical fire data was
available for office developments in Dublin, and experience with other cities indicates a similar ratio of service calls per
development square foot for both office and retail developments.
