impact fees (DIF). Models developed by the consultant, allowed for
comparison of impacts between the same land use categories
throughout the City, focusing on the "Per Acre" analytic as a unit of
productivity. This metric normalized overall revenues and tax values into
a direct comparison, assigning land consumed as a unit of
productivity. The models enabled the sources of revenues to be
visualized in three dimensions, with the analysis done for the base year
data of 2015 and the projected year of 2035, the horizon year for the
General Plan update. Councilmembers and Planning Commissioners
discussed the locations in which the City could actively work towards
raising property valuation, including the downtown area and future
transit sites. Mr. Minicozzi offered several suggestions to increase
property valuation and ended his presentation by encouraging the City
to account for the numbers, know the costs, and make the conscious
decision to grow the value in the the City.
