1 Chapter 10 Land Use Analysis land use is a very important component of Anoka s land use. It provides significant tax revenue, and in the last analysis, it provides a surplus of revenues over expenditures, or Fiscal Impact. The following discussion deals with some of the significant factors that contribute to this Fiscal Impact. Map shows the commercial and industrial land use as of A. Employment Employment is one of the factors that generate (C/I) revenues and expenditures. The weight given to employment is relatively small, compared to the weight given to population, but since the C/I uses are where most of the employees are located, it is worth examining in more detail. The table below summarizes employment. Note that 66% of the city s employment comes from the C/I uses, with followed by Office with the most. Table Employment Land Use Employment Percent of City Total Office 1, % Shopping 1, % Restaurant % Auto Service % Bank % General Commercial % Motel % Personal Service % School - Commercial % 3, % Light 1, % Totals 9, % City Totals 13, % B. Market Value The uses make up 18% of the city s market value. Tax Capacity is determined by taking a percentage of the Market Value. The first $150,000 is multiplied times 1.5%, and the amount over $150,000 is multiplied by 2%. As a group, the C/II uses make up 18% of the city s Market Value, with the uses making up about 10%, and the Office and Shopping uses making up about 6%.

Electrical Billing A significant amount of surplus revenue from the Electrical Utility goes to finance Anoka s Operating budget. The land uses are very big users of electricity and therefore generate over half of that surplus. The table below shows the amount of billing by the C/I categories. Over 40% of the surplus is generated by uses, and about 11% is from Office, Shopping and Restaurants. Anoka Fiscal Impact Analysis, 2009, by GISRDC.com 10-3

Police Calls The Police Department is a big expenditure item for the city. The uses account for over 18% of the Police Calls. Another portion of the Police budget is for patrolling to protect the property in the city. As shown above, over 18% of the Market Value of the city is also, and it is used to allocate a major portion of the Police budget. Anoka Fiscal Impact Analysis, 2009, by GISRDC.com 10-4

Road Frontage The last significant factor that affects expenditures for is road frontage. The summary table below shows the amount of road frontage (in feet), by jurisdiction for the C/I categories. As far as city finances are concerned, the local and MSA frontage is very important. The Sidewalk frontage is also important, because the city maintains them and plows them in the winter. Since the C/I uses are often located on major city streets, the C/I uses have 24% of the MSA frontage. While the city receives state aid for the MSA frontage, it certainly does not cover all of the maintenance costs. Sidewalks are also important to the C/I uses, with almost 13% of the frontage serving these uses.

6 F. Property Taxes Commercial and uses generate about $2.6 million in property tax revenue in Anoka. A large portion of that revenue is captured by the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) districts, and is mostly available for Capital Expenditures. About 40% is the local captured property tax revenue, and the larger portion (about 60%) is revenue captured from the other taxing jurisdictions. Most of the captured revenue comes from, but a portion is also captured from Residential. Table shows the taxes for the commercial and industrial uses. The column titled Gross Taxes represents the hypothetical amount the city would collect based on the calculated Tax Capacity based on Market Value, about $2.2 million. However, about $750,000 is contributed to the Fiscal Disparities pool. The C/I uses receive a small amount back through the Fiscal Disparities distribution by virtue of the small population residing in these uses.

As a result, only about $528,000 remains to finance city operations. That local TIF revenue is not lost, but it is diverted to the capital fund to finance capital improvements. The last columns in the table take the net of $527,000, and add back in the local TIF portion. Since the TIF districts also capture about $1.1 million in property taxes from the other taxing jurisdictions, the total amount of property taxes coming from commercial and industrial adds up to about $2.6 million. However, once the TIF districts are retired, the $1.1 million will no longer be available to the city. What this shows is that while commercial/industrial generates a significant amount of property tax revenue, only about $527 thousand is available for financing operating expenses, resulting in a large burden on the residential uses. The remainder is available for capital improvements, Anoka Fiscal Impact Analysis, 2009, by GISRDC.com 10-6

7 but a large portion of it will go away after the TIF districts are retired. The impact of the TIF districts is discussed in more detail in a later section.

Fiscal Impact As discussed in previous chapters, the analysis of Fiscal Impact has been done using two scenarios. One is to look at the patterns as they existed in We refer to this is the current Fiscal Impact. The second scenario deals with the questions what if there were no TIF districts in the city? or what will be the patterns after the TIF districts are retired? 1. Current Fiscal Impact Current Fiscal Impact is the pattern of revenues, expenditures, surpluses and deficits that existed in 2009 for both operating and capital budgets. a. Current Operating Fiscal Impact Table and Figure below show the current operating Fiscal Impact for commercial and industrial land uses in the city. As pointed out earlier, the residential land uses bear most of the burden for operating revenue, because property taxes from the TIF districts are captured and used for capital improvements. Table and Figure summarize the operating Fiscal Impact for commercial and industrial. Note that while the C/I uses overall generate a very small surplus, many of the commercial uses generate deficits. This is because Anoka Fiscal Impact Analysis, 2009, by GISRDC.com 10-7

8 some of them are in TIF districts, and their property taxes are captured for TIF. The industrial uses generate modest surpluses. In the case of the bank parcels, the acreage is so small that when computed on a per acre basis, the result is exaggerated.

Current Capital Fiscal Impact The property tax revenue that is captured for the TIF districts is available for capital projects. Table and Figure show the impact of the captured revenue on the capital Fiscal Impact. All of the C/I categories generate surpluses, except for the general commercial category. Note that the uses like office, shopping and bank, which had large deficits under the Anoka Fiscal Impact Analysis, 2009, by GISRDC.com 10-8

9 operating budget, show large surpluses for the capital budget. The uses also have larger surpluses. Overall, the C/I uses average a surplus of about $2500 per acre.

Current Total Fiscal Impact The current total Fiscal Impact is the combination of operating and capital components. Table and Figure summarize the total impact for the commercial and industrial uses. When added together, the most of the C/I uses generate large surpluses. Some of this is due to the fact that through the TIF districts they have also captured revenue from the other taxing jurisdictions. Anoka Fiscal Impact Analysis, 2009, by GISRDC.com 10-9

10 When the TIF districts are retired, this extra revenue will not be available; the next section will investigate the impact of this reduction.

Current Fiscal Impact by Parcel The analysis provided in this report is the result of the development of a detailed parcel database. In some cases the allocation factors have been estimates, but in other cases, revenue and expenditure items have been directly assigned to a parcel when that information is known. Map shows the parcel level Fiscal Impact results for the residential land uses. The Anoka Fiscal Impact Analysis, 2009, by GISRDC.com 10-10

12 objective is not to show precisely the Fiscal Impact of each individual parcel, since in many cases we had to use averages. The shades of red show deficits and the shades of green show surpluses. The map shows the variations that can exist from one parcel to another. 2. Future Fiscal Impact, without TIF The second scenario to be investigated is what will be the impact when the TIF districts are retired? a. Future Operating Fiscal Impact The impact of the elimination of the TIF districts on the operating budget is shown in Table and Figure 10.07, below. Most of the commercial and industrial uses generate modest to substantial surpluses, with an overall average of about $1200 per acre. These surpluses are due to the fact that when the TIF districts are retired, the local portion of the property taxes will be recaptured and available for the operating budget. There are exceptions to this pattern of surplus, however. The office and bank categories generate deficits. In the case of offices, this is surprising because the 1986 study showed offices with a surplus. As noted above, the bank acreage is very small, so when the deficit is calculated on a per acre basis, the result is exaggerated. More investigation of these two uses needs to be done.

Future Capital Fiscal Impact The future capital Fiscal Impact is show on Table and Figure below. As stated earlier, the local portion of the captured TIF revenue has been shifted to the operating budget. This generates a surplus in the operating budget, which is transferred back to the capital budget. See Chapter 7 for more detail on this. With the end of the TIF districts, the captured revenue from the other taxing jurisdictions will no longer be available for capital projects. As a result, the expenditures had to be reduced to balance the capital budget. The patterns for commercial and industrial uses show some surprises. Here we see that the industrial uses as well as the motel, have a deficit. We have assumed that the reductions in capital expenditures would be proportional to the capital expenditures for In reality, after the TIF districts are retired, there may not be as much need for capital improvements in the industrial areas, because the TIF program has already financed all of those needs. Therefore when using this particular table, one should be mindful of the fact that the reduction of expenditures may not be done the way that it has, in reality. More evaluation of this assumption, and work with city staff needs to be done. Anoka Fiscal Impact Analysis, 2009, by GISRDC.com 10-13

Future Total Fiscal Impact Table and Figure show the composite of the operating and capital budgets under the scenario that is supposed to answer the question: what will be the effect of eliminating or retiring the TIF districts? Keeping in mind the caveat that our reduction of capital expenditures may not be realistic, the results overall show that the commercial and industrial all show modest to substantial surpluses, despite the fact that the city no longer has the captured TIF revenue.
