TASK.1t.MARKET REVIEW The proponent''s consultant, Keyser Marston Associates, has com- pieted a.market study for the proposed project. We anticipate that the proponent will make .available forecasts of project absorption, product mix, sales prices and other relevant data for use in the fiscal .and financial analyses. EPS will review; the proponent's market data, then conduct rode- pendent verification/refinement based on review of our own in- house market data, interviews with brokers, developers and other key informants and additional research, as necessary. This market information will be used to forecast the timing of development and the increases in land value `that will determine fiscal impacts and provide the foundation of capital financing. TASK 2: PROJECT DESCRIPTION we will tabulate the mix and likely phasing of various: land uses projected .under each of the Study alternatives. Estimates of development potential will be translated into population,- employment, retail sales and property tax projections, which will serve as inputs to subsequent tasks related to identifying demand for public services and projecting public revenues. TASK 3: PUBLIC SERVICES/FACILITIES. REVIEW EPS will compile information on existing ..City.. policies, service standards and public facilities capacities hosed on budget doc- uments, available reports and interviews with department heads and other staff members.

Additionally, we will work .with. staff to articulate and `confirm the `City's objectives with regard to service levels and community standards and to roves- tigate alternative mechanisms .for public services used in other cities.. ;~ 3 ~_ ~~ .,. ..
