Feasibility Study
The City has conducted an analysis to determine whether the public benefits derived from the District will exceed the costs and that the income from the District, together with other sources of revenue, will be sufficient to pay for the Public Improvements undertaken in the District. The analysis estimates the available property tax revenues that will be generated from the District, less existing property taxes and certain unavailable property tax revenues, to determine the revenue stream available to support reimbursement to the City/Developer for all or a portion of the costs of the Public Improvements. The estimates indicate that the revenue realized from the Project, together with other available sources of revenue, will be adequate to pay the costs of the Public Improvements.
