Executive Summary

This document presents a fiscal impact analysis of the proposed Meer Tract redevelopment in Bloomingdale Borough, Passaic County, New Jersey, dated February 22, 2016. The project involves expanding quarrying operations from the adjacent Tilcon property and constructing 360 multi-family rental housing units, including 72 affordable units, on a 180-acre tract. The analysis estimates the impact of the development on municipal services, school district, and county services, focusing on tax revenues, costs, and overall fiscal effects. The proposed mixed-use development is projected to generate an aggregate completed value of $48,620,550, with an estimated assessment of $45,042,100. It's expected to result in a municipal revenue surplus of $289,750 and a school district revenue surplus of $509,430. The "market" components (expanded quarry and 288 "market" housing units) are estimated to generate an annual tax revenue surplus of $1,203,630, which offsets the revenue deficits of the 72 "affordable" housing units ($276,440), resulting in an overall revenue surplus of $927,190. The expansion would also create 408 construction-related jobs and, once completed, 10 permanent jobs and 360 households.

RATABLE BASE AND TAX RATE
The econontic and demographic characteristics of the Borough c,f Bloomingdale ar: reflected
in the Borough's ratable base, and changes in tlie Borough's household base and commercial
development over the past twenty years may be examined in terms of the per parcel and total
valuations (assessment) of the taxable properties in the Borough.
Ratable Base
The Borough of Blooningdale has undertaken periodic property revaluatiorrs in order to
maintain assessments that approximate current market values. The ratio of assessed value to market
value is expressed in the assessment ratio r.vhich amounted to 86.00 pe,rcent in 2000 and is reported
to amount to 92.64 percent in the current (201 5- 1 6) assessments. 'l'hese assessment trends rlre further
detailed in TableT.
During 2000, the total equalized propertv valuation in the Boror-rgh of Bloomingdale arnounted
to$584.1million.'[hisequalizedvaluationincreasedby65.2percenttretwcen]000andll015.ri'ith
an equalized assessed valuation of $799.9 million reported for 2014.
DLrring the period ll'om 2000 through 2015 u'hen the BoroLrgh's equalizeci valuatiorr increased
61.60 percent" tlie cost of n-rLrnicipal operations reflected in thc local use buclget increased fl-onr
$6,241.600 to $10.446,935--an increase o1'$4,205,335, or 65.2 percent. From 2000 to 2015. the
groll'th of municipal costs (67.4 percent) was above the increase in the equalized taxable lbase (65.2
percent). The result of these varying growth rates would be a somev,,hat higher local (municipal
pttrpose) property tax rate levied upon all properties as a percentage of propertv yalue.
Resider-rtial properties (Class 2) decreased as a share of total ratables fl.om 85.56 percent irr
2000to84.69percentin20l5.arelativedecreaseof1.0percent. 
Non-resiclential (comptercial ar.rcJ
industrial) properties amounted to 8. 1 1 percent of valr-ration in 2000 and 8.64 percent in 201 4. These
percentage levels and the changes that have occurred since 2000 indicate an increase in the proportiorr
of the total assessments represented b.v r-ron-residential properties. with commcrcial and ildustrial
properlies now conlprising 8.64 percent of total assessments.'nvltile res;idential (Class 2) properties
have decreased fiorn 85.56 percent to 84.69 percent of the Boroggh's tgtal assessed 'aluation.

The preceding review o1'the economic, demographic. f-iscal and financial characteristics of
Bloomingdale l'ras disclosed the Borough to be an established community that accounts for 4.11
percent of Passaic County's land area but accounts fbr 1.58 percent of ttre Countr"s 2010 population
and 0,64 percent of the County's 2010 employment base. The Borough's popuLlation declinecl during
the 1980's but has experienced modest growth through 2010 resulting in a 2010 population that q'as
still somewhat below the Borough's population in1970. Employment in Bloornir-rgdale" which

PITOJBCT DESCRIPTION AND FISCAL IMPACTS
On tlie preceding pages, the economic base and flscal infiastructure of the Borough of
Bloomingdale have been examirred and quantified. With the inlbrmation ar-rd insight gained in the
fbregoing examinalion, it is now possible to estimate the costs. revcnues. and overall flscal ef fbcts that
would be expected to accontpany the construction and occupancv of the proposed mixed-use. quarrlr
and inclusionary housing developrner-rt.
Project Description
The development that is the sr.rb.ject of the ensuing fiscal assessment involves a proposal fbr
the development of'a 180 + acre tract o1'land located within the Borough of Bloomingdale (Block 105.
Lot 14) and known as the Meer Tract fbr an expansion of the qr-rarrying operations fiom the adjacent
Tilcon property that will facilitate the creation of the a new resiclential clevelopment containing 360
n'rulti-larnily rental housing units. including 72 "af.fordable" housing units. The proposed developrnent
is the subject of long star"rding litigation an Order from the Superior Court of New Jersey. Lar,r'
Division, Passaic County. Tilcon proposes that. in con junction with the expar.rdecl quarn,ing operations
on the Meer tract. a portioti of the property (approximatel-v 35 acrcs) of the western side nearest LJnion
A'n'enue. rvill cleared, graded and prepared fbr residential developntent and deeded to the BoroLrgh.
Specific developt.uent plans fbr the contemplated residential development have not yet been prepared
and the fbllowing evaltration presents an assesslrent of the type of residential developrnent that is
believe likely to be accomrnodated on the subject property. Subject to thLe Court Order and consistent
u'ith the April 29.2014 Periodic Reexamination of Master Plan. the new resiclential deyelgpptept
u'ould be expected to include 288 "niarket" housing units and 72 "alfordable" housing r-rnits. all o1'
rvhich woLrld be expected to rental units.
The 288 "market" housing units rvor-rld be comprised of 173 one-bedroom units and 1 I 5 two-
bedroom units with monthly rents ranging fiom $1,785 to $2.100. with an average market re't of
$ 1 .91 1 ' The 72 ''a11brdable" housing units u'ill be offbred in tl're reqr-rired mixture of one-. tw.o-, and
three-bedrootn units (14 one-bec'lroom units.43 trvo-bedroorn units and 15 three-bedroont r-lrits) ancl

Rather. all methods available fbr the pro fbrma calculation of anticipated population are subject to
certain limitations.
Among the various techniques available fbr developing erstimatr:s of popr.rlation. the
"comparable" approach. or "case study" rnethod. appears to off-er the b,enefits of actual experiences.
tirnely data. geographic proximities, and knorvn similarities in rnarket sectors anci product design. In
the "case study" method, popr-rlation determinants are generated on the basis of the actual occLlpanc\,
experieuces of comparable housing units in similar. recently corrstructed ho,Lrsing cornplexes. The
reliability of the "case study" model is a function of the cornparability of the case study housing Lrnits
to the units proposed fbr construction.
Information is also available fr"om the U.S. Department ol'Commerce, Bureau of the Census.
u'hich provides population and housing characteristics that can be examinecl to estimate ntr-rnicipal
population and school children n-rultiplier ratios on a per household basis. In this regard, at the tinre
of the 201 0 Census of Population (April I , 201 0), Bloomingclale Borough contlinecl a total popLrlatiop
o1'7"656 persons, of which 7.535 persons occupied 2.935 of the Iloror.rgh's 3.089 total housing r.rnits.
At this time (2009-2010 school year). there were 950 chilclren lionr Bloomingdale enrolled in public
schools. fhese statistics indicate that the average household ir-r the Borough of Bloorlingdalc
contained 2.57 persons, including 0.324 public school cliildren.
The proposed recievelopment dillers fiom tl-re Borough's hor-rsing bas;e to the extent that all
(100.0 percent) of the proposed homes are "new". "attached" and "renter-occupied", as opposed to
onlr'0.6 percent "ltew".25.9 percent "attached" and27.2 percent "renten-occupied" in the Borough's
housing inventorl'. Additionally, 72 of the proposed housir-rg units are "at-fordahle" housing units q'it6
specific income and occupancy requirements. In view of the difl-erences in thi: type of housilg upits
that are proposed vis-a-r'is Bloon-ringdale's existing housing base. the use of nrunicipal demographic
cohorts as a "comparable" rvould not be appropriate.
Dernographic rnultipliers fbr total population and school age chilclren mr-rltipliers ha1'e beel
developed and pLrblished by tlie Urban Land Institute (ULI). The ULI multipliers. u,hich are cleri'ed
frorn infbrmation containecl irt the 1987 Arnerican Housing Surl,ev ancl lurnisl1 data 1br the Northeast
region of the United States, do not reflect current occupancy trends; are not disaggregatecl fbr Ne*
Jersey. Passaic Countl", or the Bloontingdale area; and do not distinguis;h bet'rveen "entry-level" ancl
21


higher-priced housing products. Given the Lrnique location, charactcr. and pricing of the proposed neu,
housing units. demographic infbrmation fbr recently occupied housing units in New Jersey ma1,'
provide a more realistic basis fbr estimating the population, school age. and public school children
likell'to be generated by the new hor,rsing units in Bloomingdale Borough.
Attached llousing Demographics - A more recenl survc)'of the demographics of residents
of housing units ir.r New Jersef is provided in a November 2006 studl'of newly occupied housing r-urits
entitled, Who Lives in Nell'.lerse), Housing. rvhich \\,as preparecl fbr the Nev,,Jersey Department of
Communitv Af fbirs. OfIlce of Smart Grow'th by the Center fbr Urban Poli,ty Research (CLJpR), Edr,vard
.1. Bloustein School of Planning & Public Policy at Rutgers, The State lJniversitl,. The CUPR stud1,
provides demographic multipliers fbr single-family detached homcs, single-lamily attached homes. and
mr"rlti-f-arlily (five or lnore units per building). which includes conclominiums ancl apartmeltts. Specific
multipliers are also furnished fbr "af'fordable" (low and moderate income) housing. Demographic
rnultipliers are provided forthe State of NewJersey with adjustments lbr pricing (belor.r'median or
above rnedian) and fbr certain bedroorn conlrgr.rrations. Infbrrnatior-r is also provided fbr three regions
of the State (north. central, and south) with the Borough of Bloomingclale being located w,ithin thc'
North Region of New Jersey. The standard (Stateu,ide) demographic mr-rltipliers for the 288 "market"
housing units proposed range fiom I .644 to 2,107 persons per ur.rit inc,luding 0.05lto 0.1 I 5 public
school children per unit. These CUPR demographic rnultipliers are presiented in Appenclices 1a.d 2.
Affordable Housing Demographics - In addition to thc "marl<et" pricecl housing units. the
redevelopuent proposal also colttains 72 "affbrdable" housing upits to be reser',,ed and priced to be-
aflbrdablc fbr lovn'er-irtcorle hor.rseholds in accordance with aflbrc'lable housi.ng regulations. To the
extent that tlteT2 "affbrdable" housing units have specific occupancy. income, and pricing restrictiops.
the "CUPR" survey provides separate dernographic rnultiplicrs fbr lorv and moderate income
lrouselrolds in Neu' Jersey. 'fhe demographic multipliers fbr the 72 onte-. two- and three-bedroor,.
renter-occupied, "affbrdable" housing Lrnits (Appendix 3) anticipate 1.61 to 3.82 perso's per unit
inclr-rding 0.14 to 1.27 public school children per "a1'fordable" hoLrsing unit.

Added Population-
Utilizing the CUPR demographic mLrltipliers lbr the "marlKet" hLousing units and the
demographic multipliers specific to "af.fbrdable" housing units profilerl in Appendix 3, the number
residents and public school children generated by the housing r,rnits rr,,ithin the mixecl-use
redevelopment proposed in the Borough of Bloomingdale have been estimated
The application of the standard (Statewide) demographic multipliers to the 288 "market"
lrousing units and the CUPR "affordable" demographic rnLrltiplicrs to theT2 "affbrdable" housing
units n'ould result in an estimate of 725 persons, including 70 public school children frorn the

Estimated Emplo]'ment
The nurnber of ernployees that could be expectecl to be generated try the expansion of the Tilton
quarrying operations on the subject property is based upon the actLral employment of 32 employ,ees at
the existir"rg Bloomingdale Qr.rarry ar-rd the potential to increase this employment base by a1 additional
10 employees r.vhen its operations are expanded on to the sub.jecl property.

Added Sen,ices
The developtnent and addition o1'new residences, new businesses" or a combination thereof to
a community will generate direct and indirect needs for new or added services fiom the community
and other governmentaljurisdictions. The services to be providcd to a ne$' rlevelopment generalll'
include education (public school). police and t-rre protection. public works. administration. etc. The
type and extent of services llrnished by a n'runicipality olien reflect comnrunity size ancj
developmental densities. In examining the services which will be provided by the Boror.rgh and. hence
all'ected by the proposed development. it is apparent that the over,whelming proportion of the
municipal sen'ices furnished. the faciiities r-rtilized, arrd the personnel required. are involved in sen,ins
the needs of the community's resident population. Accordingly, and in recogniti6l of tl.re firct that t5e
resident population is r-rltimately the predominant user and beneflciaLry of rnunicipal and school
services, the detern'rinatiort of the population anticipated to be generated by the propose<J nrixecl-use
redevelopment is an inlportant element and determinant in the inrpact eLnalvsis.

TMPACT ANALYSIS
Fiscal Impact
The fiscal irnpact resulting fiom the proposed mixed-use redev,elopntent and the addition o1'
10 employees. 725 new residents. including 70 public school chilclren, may now be examined in terms
of the costs incurred by the ntunicipality and the school district in providing a variety of srervices to
the Borough's resident population. The deterrnination of the fiscal impact of the proposed
development involved the use of an econometric model. which is a composite of two techniques
generally referred to as the "proportional valuation" method and the "p,er capita multiplier" method.
The "proportional t'aluatiott" method is utilized f-rrst to assign a portion o1'total rnunicipal expenditures
to the non-residetrtial (as opposed to residential) valuation in the Borough. Municipal ex.penditure
levels proportionately allocated to non-residential and residential valuation are then expressed in terms
ol per employee and per capita expenditures fbr the Borough's existing development. Scltool
appropriations are expressed on a per pupil basis. Once these per employee, per capita ancL per pupil
expense ratios are determined. the "per capita rnultipiier" method anticipates adcleci costs fiom tl-re
proposed development by applying increased employment. population and student enrollment to the
current expense ratios.
Assumptions. Conditions and Oualifications
The prepariLtion of a cost/revenue analysis. which measurcs the overall and specific intpacts
resulting fiom the developtnent and occupancy of the proposed clevclopment, necessarilv reqLrires t6at
certain empirical assumptions be made:
r)
All dollars are 2015 dollars--the llscal impact shown ref-lects the
forecasted ir-r-rpact as if the development lvere conrpleted in 2015;
other gro*.th or changes (demographic/economic) occurring in
Bloon-ringdale Borough dr.rring the development phases of the project
may'well have their own impact on fiscal matters. but are: not included
witliin the scope of this study in order to empiricalll/ assess the direct
impact of the planned der,,eloprnent;
,)
25


The "per capita rnultiplier urethod" assumes that. over the long run.
clrrrent average operating costs per capita fumish a reasonable cstimate
of lUjUIg operating costs occasioned by gror.vth. and that current levels
of service. relative to current popLrlation, are reasonably accurale
indicators of future service levels continued at the same relative scale.
and;
The current distribution of expenditures among the various sectors of
municipal service will remain constant in the short term and rvill serve
as the primary indicator of the n'ay in which adclitional expenditures
will be subsequently allocated.
Utilizing the afbredescribed methodology and assumptions. the ultimate irnpact o1' the
completion and occupancy of the proposed niixed-use development can be determined through a
cost/revenue analysis of the major sollrces of the services and taxing, bodies aff-ected by the nerv
development. The primary sources of the services and taxes to be affected are: a) the nrunicipalitr,;
b) the school district; and c) the Countr'.

MUNICIPAL IMPACT
The flscal etfects anticipated to result fiom the development of the expanded quarry and the
360 proposed housing units in Bloomingdale Borough and the addition o1'1 0 enLployees, 725 residents
shall be analyzed in tltis section in terms of the municipal service costs tl:rat r.vould be allocated b1,the
rnunicipality' in providing a variety of services to its residents. An evaluation of the annual tax
revenues expected to accompar-ry the proposed development shall also be pro.vided.
Municipal Costs
Insofar as the costs ofthe services now being provided b1,the comntunity serve as the statistical
fbundation fbr the costs to be allocated to the neu,development. an ana.ly'sis o1'existing service/cost
relationships has been undertaken. A surnmary of Bloomingdale l3orough 's current (201 4) revenlles
and expenditures as presented in Table 9, provides a Lrseful prolile fbr the determination o1'the flscal
irnpact attributable to the proposed development.
Befbre the data and relationships indicated in Table 9 may bc Lrtili:zed. certain acl.iustments must
be niade to separate its residential and non-residential contponcnts. As may be seen in Table 9.
commercial and inciustrial properties in Bloomirrgdale Boror-rgh. ri,hicl-r include Class 4a Commercial
and Class 4b Indr"rstrial properties, represent 4.15 percent of all properlies and 8.64 percent of the
Borough's total assessed r,'aluation. Given these distributions. 6.39 percent of the total current
rnunicipal expenditures would be assigned, in terms of cost/benefit (or cost generation) to the I I l
commercial/industrial properties in Bloomingdale Borough and which haye an assessed yaluation of'
$64.013.400 . Of Bloorningdale's current tax-supported appropriations c,f $7.80 1.077 .approximatelv
6.39 percent, or $498.489. would be assigned to the Boror-rgh 's cornmercial and industrial properties.
1-he Boror,rgh 's residential properties. rvhicl-r include Class 2 Residential. Class 3a Farnt ancl
Class 4c Apartrrtent properties. represent 9?.22 percent of the llorough 's total properties. 87.85
percent of the Borough 's total r.'aluation, and wor-rld be assigned 90.04 pr3rcent of the Borough's total
tax-supported costs. ln this regard. $7.024.090 of Bloomingdale's $7.801,077 tax-sr-rpported local
use appropriatior.rs n'ould be attributed to the Borough 's residenlial properties.

SCHOOL SYSTEM IMPACT
The number of public school studcnts expected to be generated by, tLLe proposed mixecl-use
developntent furnishes the statistical basis fbr this elernent o1'the anticipated fiscal impact. As
previously discussed, the 288 "ltlarket" housing ur-rits would estintated to generate 22 public school
childrerr while 72"'affordable" housing units were cstinlated to generate 48 putrlic school children. 1br
a total of 70 public school children. Educational services for thesc students rvould bc providecl bl' the
Bioomingdale Borough School District. which furnishes educational services fbr Bloorningdalc
students in grades K-8 and nraintains a "sending" relationship n'ith the Borough of Butler for students
in grades 9-12. Based upon the types of hor.rsing units proposcd, 52 chil,Jren r,r,ould be expected to be
enrolled in grades K-8 u'hile 18 children n'ould be enroiled in 9-12 and sent ro the Butler school
district.
Bloomingdale Borough School District Costs
The flscal in'rpact resulting fiorr-r the addition of the 70 nerv stuclent:s to the Blooningdale
Boror-rgh School District has been statistically structured uncler thc assumptiol that all new students
r'r'ere enrolled dr"rring 2015. The insertiotr of the new students into a current,3nrollment situation is
erllpirically pref-erable to the extent that it permits a morc ob.jectiyc appraisal of the direct impact of
the er-rrollment specific to the new development and also perniits an analysis predicatcd upop klou,rr

COUNTY SERVICES IMPACT
A broad range of services are lirrnished by the County government. itrs agencies. oltces. and
departments. These services. u,hich are provided and available to all Cor.rnty re,siclents without respect
to municipalitl,of residence. include the services of cor-rnty cor,rrts; ShLerilf'srolfice; various health.
saf-ety. and welfare progrants. ntaintenance of County roads: CoLrnt-v- education se5.,ices: County parks:
recreational facilities: etc. TIte ltatLlre of tlie services prol'icled by thc County are such that its serviccs.
lacilities and operations are generally of countywide use and bcneflt. and thLe costs thereof are 16t
allotted and cannot be segregated on a tnunicipality-by-rnLrnicipality basis. l herefbre. it is difflcLrlt
to specilically sep:Lrate and determine the actual rreasure of bencflt. and the r:osts attendant thereto.
receivecl by Bloomingdale Boror-rgh residents f}ont Passaic Countl,operatiorLs.
The absence of a direct cost/benefit relationship in thc services supplied b1,the Cor.rnty.does
not preclude its analysis. but rather. fbcuses the correlations upon the actual manner i1 u'hich Countl
services are furnished and flnar-rced. Although Cor-rnty'sc'n,ices are pr,rr,,idecl to the general pLrblic.
these services are no1 linanced by the population. but through thc assessment of a Courntl'Tax up.'
propefiy valuations. A calculatiott of the estimatecl Countv costs ancl estimated County revenlles
resulting f}om the proposed mixed-use redevelopment in Bloomingclale Boror-rgh may also be deriyec-l
f}om this bifurcatec'l relationship betrveen costs and revenues.
Countl- Costs
CoLrnty services are provided primarill', and in some instances e,xclusively, fbr the beneflt o1-
Countv residents witli onl,v a limited amount of services renderecl to n,on-residential properties anci
non-resident employees. Becattse the vast majoritl'of Passaic CoLrlty's services and associated cgsts
are f urnished to and for the benefit of Cor_urt1'resiclents" only a nonrinal and indirect relationship exists
relaliVe to notl-resiclerltial properties etncl the enrployees thereof. Ol'the total CloLrnty appropriatior-rs.
onlr those activities involved rvith seneral sor
could reasonably be perceived as provicling a serl'ice/beneflt tt'r nc'rn-residential properties ancl their
employ'ees. These types of County services. which are provicied lirr the ioint b,elefit of residents ar.rd
notr-residents. account lbr approximately 30 percent of the tolal Cor.rnty expenditures rvhile the
JJ


remainillg 70 percent of Passaic County's experrclitures are firrnished,exclusirrely lbr the Countl,'s
residential population.
Non-Residenti:rl Costs - Although the rna.jority of the County"s terx-supported costs are
provided for the benefit of the Countl,'5 residents. sorne portion of thLe total tax-supportecl
appropriations are attribr.rtable to non-residential properties. Dr-rring 2015. approxirnately $35.9 million
of the County's total tax-supported appropriations of $335.5 nrillion would be allocal.ed to the
County's comrnercial and industrial properties with 136.200 estintatecl employees. yielding a nol.l-
residential (commercial/industrial) cost factor of $271per commercial/irrdustrial ernployee. Applf ing
this non-residential cost firctor of $271 per ernployec to the 10 new, ,emplo,vecs generated b,v the'
quarrying operatious rvithin the rrrixed-use redevelopment yielcls an allocrated a lLocal use cost of $2.71 0
(10x$271 :$2.710).
Residential Costs - During 2015, $281.85 rlillion of Passaic Countlr's total tax-supportecl
expenditures of $3.15.5 r-nillion rvould be allocated to the Countr,'s residential properties. With an
estimated vear-end 2015 resident population of 51 1.550 persons. an average . tal:-supported. per capita.
Cour.rt,v cost appropriation of $551 is derived. Higher-density,. incor.nc-producing properties r,vhich are
prof-essionalll'lnanaged and do not require an expansion of Countf infiaLstructrure willtypicalll'haye
a'"ntarginal" added cost that is approxir-nately 60 percent o1-the ''average'' per capita Countl,cost. of
$331 per capita ($551 x 0.60 : $331). Applied to tlie 725 estirnatecl resiclenrs. 1.he rnarginal per capita
cost ($331) would y'ield an allocated cost of $239"980. The allocated Cor-rnty r:esidential service cosr
of $239.980. rvhetr combined u'ith the estimated non-residential cost of $2,7 I 0, yields a total Cor-rnt1'
service cost o1'$242.690. Given the ntagltitude of Passaic Countr operations. the abselce of a clirect
cost/revenue basis fbr the pror.'isiou of Countl' services. anc'l the fbct that the add,:cl developl-rept u,oulcl
represent a nolninal (0.121 percent) increase in the County's total popLrlattLon. it is unlikely that CoLrptl,
costs would itlcrease proportionatelv. To the contrary. it is probable that the adcled deyelopment cor-rlcl
substantially be accommodated and serviced by existing County facilities. equipn-rent. and personnel.
1tJq


Countv Revenucs
The costs of the services and facilities provided by' the Cior-urty are llnanced by a varietv ol'
re\/enue soltrces. One important revenue soLrrce that accourrts fcrr 73.4 perccnt of the total Countt
revenlles, and rvhich is directly derived from thc County's constituent mr.rnicipalities. is generatcd
through the imposition of the County tax rate upon the real propertv va,Luations in each rnr-rnicipality,
rvithin the County. -l'he proposed mixed-use development. in representing $4it.042.1 00 of valuation
to both the municipal and County tax rolls, would directly generatc County ta:: revenues ol'$370.700
at the cttrrent Coul.tty tax ratc of $0.823 per $ I 00 o1'valuation. Thc proposed rnixed-use developntent

FISCAL IMPACT OVERVIBW
In the preceding sections of this fiscal analysis. the naturc ancl magnitude of the proposecl
ntixed-use development in Bloomingdale Borough relative to the existing oommunity have been
deflned and quantitied, and the prospective impact thereof upon the various services furnishecl by the
municipality, the school district and the Cor-rnty have been deterntined. The need for l,ariolls public
services. and the costs thercof. as a result of the proposed developnrent were subsccluentlr,refinecl to
illustrate thc overall intpact through cost/revcnue analysis.
'fhe results of these anall'ses. as set lbrth in Table 10. indicate that the "rnarket" ccrn-rpcrnent
of the proposed mixed-use redevelopment (expancled qr-rarry opcration and 288 "'markct" hor.rsing
units) u''ould, in the present tiscal structure. generate adcled tax revenues totaling $1,657,300, u,hile
the tax-supported costs allocated to the "market" components amour-rt to i$453.(r70 and yield an annual
revenlle surplus o1'' $1,203.630. The "af.fordable" colnponcnt of the propgsccl cleveloprnelt (72
affordable l-rousing units) would, in the present f-iscal strr.rcture. gcnerate addcfl tax reycnu€:s totalipg
$168,710 while the tax-sttpported costs allocated to the "afforclable" housir.rg units amour1t tcr
$445.150, to yield a revenlre def-rcit of $276.440. 'fhe revenue surplus generatcd by the'"market"
components. w.hich amounts to $ 1,203,630. is sufl-icient to ful11, ot'f\et thre def-rr:its of thc "allordablc"

o1 thc proposed developr-r-rent on the other. will disclose the undcrlt,ing reason lbr the existence of a
surplus revenues vis-a-vis tax-supported costs.
When a given budget is in balance. the measures of per pupil valuation express the amount of
propert,v tax base supportive of each service r.rser (student) in the local ntunicipality. 'l'hese l.lteasures
cau be used as a general indicator of whether a proposed developnrcnt r.,n,ill norrnalll,be expected to
generate surplus revenues (or deficits). Generally speaking. if thc per pupil valuations of a nc\\'
devclopment is greater than that which exists throughout the municipality. then a surplus situation
w'ould be ar-rticipated by such development. As the importance of propertl,tax revenues diminishcs.
the reliability o1'this indicator also declines.
In Bloon-ringdale Borough. wherc property taxes reprcsent source of funcls fbr 76.53 percent
of the non-surplus revenues mr-uricipal bLrdget and 90.04 perccnt ol'the local school clistrict budget.
per pupil valuatiot-ts prol'ide comparisons r,vhich w.ould anticipate thc lbrecastcd results. Dr,rring 2011.
the Borough's total valuation of $741.103.300 amolurts to $840.253 per public school pupil. 1-hc
"market" components o1' the mixed-use development, with an cstimated asscssed valuation gl'
S40.880,550 ($44,128.400 x .9264: $40,880.550) yields a per pupil valuation of $1,858,207. The
tax base derived lion-r the "ntarket" housing units within the proposed rcdeveloprnent is being adclecl
at a level that is 2.21 tirnes the Borough's existing per pupil valuation:

-l-he proposed "market" components, as indicated above, generate higher levels of per capita
ratables than the existing development in Bloomingdale Borough. The indir:ated overall revclllle
surplus of $927,190 is achieved notwithstanding the inclr:sior.r of a substaptial (72units) "aftbrdable"
hoursing component. 'l'he revenLre deflcits attributablc to the "allbrdable" housring units are the rcsr.rlt
of the satisf.action of a municipal obligation, and should not be attributed to thc proposed ntixed-usc
38


development. To the contrarl,, the proposecl development not only firnds the construction of the
afTordable housing units, but the rnarket components generate annual revenlles that fLrlly ofllet
the operating costs of the affbrdable honsing units witl.r no aclded expense to the Borough's
residents and taxpayers. The operatirrg deflcits attributable to tl-rc affbrr1able Jrousirrg r"rrrits wottld
occur wherever these units. and this obligation, is satisfied rvithin the Borouglh.
The foregoing analysis has demonstrated that. if the proposed development had been in
existence during 2015, the total tax-sr-rpported costs expected to be greneral.ed by the proposed
development lvould have been ofl.set by the anticipated tax revenues. 'l-l-re actual and f-rnal
detennination of specific sen,ices. equipment. and manporver needs utost appropriately rests
with the various r-nunicipal and school authorities responsible fbr the provision ol'these services.
Additional Revenues - In additior-r to the annual and recurring revenLles generated by the
proposed mixed-use redevelopment. the redevelopr-r-rent can also be expected to generate one-
tit-ne. non-recurringl revenLles represented by the deeding of the resid,rntial site to the Borouglt
and its subsequent sale to a residential builder 1br an anlicipated sales price of $10.656.000 (288
market units at $37.000 per ur-rit). Water and seu,er connection fees rvc,uld be expected to
amount to approxirnately $2,700 and $7.200 per resider.rtial unit. respectivel,v. yiclding utility'
connection revenlles of $3.564.000. It is also anticipated. bascd r.rpon the construction pemrit
fees paid by other mr"rlti-farrilv developr.nents, that the residential dlevelopment on tlie Meer
Tract would be expected to pay construction permit and insper:tion f'ees anrounting to
approximately $801.),000. In total. these rron-recurring pa,vments could be expected to amount to
$ 15,020,000:

$ 10.656.000
$ 972.000

$_ 800.000
$ 1 s.020.000
Alternative Use - As further detailed in the market stucll' and valuation repoft prepared
b,v the Otteau Group. ir-r the absence of the exparlsion o1'1he qlrarry. the costs to clear. grade,
level and stabilize the resider.rtial site are likell,' to exceed tlie land vah.re fbr the 360 r-rnit
residential development. Under tliesc circumstancers. the diminished Lrlility of the propert)' could
39


reslllt in a reductior-r of the property's currerlt assessed r,:rlue o1'$11,16;0.000 to an "open space"
value of $ 1 0,000 per acre, or $ 1 ,801 ,000 fbr the 1 80. 1 acre property. rvith an estimated assessed
value, aI 92.64 percent. of $ 1.668,400. fl.re reduction in the property assessrnent fi'om
$11,160.000 to $1.668,400 would reduce the annual property tax revenlle:; frot.t.t $452.400 to
$67,600, a decrease of $384,800. Another possibility resr-rlting fl'om the inabilitl' to utilize the
Meer Tract for quarrying operations and the accompanying resiclential use corlld be the deeding
of the property for public open space or corlservancy Llse. which n'ould exetnpt the property fi'on-r
laxation and yielding no property tax revenlles.
Affordable Housing Cost - The 360 unit residential clevelopmenl. ot.t the Meer Tract
includes 72 "afforclable" housing units that are being provided pursuant to ar-r Order fiom the
Superior Court of Neu' .lersey. Larv Division, Passaic County. Wittrout the expansion of the
quarrying operations and the accompanying abilitl, to prepare a portion of the propert.v fbr
resider-rtial use, the requirement to pror ide fbr 72 "af-fordable" hoLrsing units will still rernain and
the Borough will need to find an alternative location fbr this af lbrdable housir.rg. lf a comparable
site for inclusionarv is not available. the Borough may need to consider the pr"rrchase a suitable
property fbr a rnur.ricipal sponsored affordable hor.rsing developmcnt to provide the 72 affordable
required hor"rsing units. The cost o1- acqr"riring such a property are unkuor.l'n at tl-ris time as are
specific costs that would be involved with its clevelopmer.rt. bLrt a per rurit subsidl' cost of

In addition to the ar-rticipated impact on the public sector operations (municipal. school and
County). the proposed redevelopment of the Meer Tract ntal,also be expected to inrpact on certain
private sector operations. The construction and occupancy of the lesiclential tiicilitics in l-incoln Park
can be expected to resull in prin"rary and secondary irnpacts during the construction phasc as wcll as
in the cornpleted. or operational. phase. These economic irnpacts inclr.rde temporary (construction) and
permanent employment, expenditure irnpacts fbr goods and scrvices. the generation o1- personal

Construction Phase Impacts
Estimates of tl-re construction stimulus to local cconomics nray be calculateci as a derivative of

transportation, and services: and other ernployrrent. 'l'he total construction phase en'rployment (on-site-
and oilsite) is expected to generate payrolls of $18.7 rnillion and a disposable personal incorne of
$ 16.5 million. The construction of tl-re residential developrncnt plan can also be expected to result ir.r
the purchase of $13.5 rnillion o1'construction materials inclr.rding $3.4 rr-rillion liom rvithin the region
and $10.1 ntillion fiom outside tlte resion.
Operational Impacts
The econontic effbcts of the "stead,v state". or completed and occupied rcdc.u,elopment. are
measttred by a dcrivative of irtput/outpr-rt analysis that interprets the effects of'the neu,dcvclopntent
on other servicc providers irt the local markct area. For the long run. there are direct. indirect nncl
induced efl-ects. In the operational phase. the direct efJ-ects consist of pennanent .iobs crcated ancl
spending associatecl with both the operation of the completed dcvcloprnent as rvcll as spending bv its
and residcnts. There are also significant indirect ellects that emerge because emplol,ees and
hoLrseholds positively impacted by gror.l'th have increased wealth to distritrute throughout thc cconomr'.
This will lead to more sales by br-rsinesses and more revenue due 1o the taxcs levied on sales. as riell
as corporate profils. The secondary and tertiarl"'induced" ef-lbcts. which arc most signilicant to thc
macro state ccononty. arc not calculated herein.
When con-rpletcd. the proposed redevelopment is estimatecl to be the lor;ation o1'10 emplovees
and 360 houscholds rvith att estimated disposable personal income of $23.4 prilliol. Econonric riiticts
of retail expenditures as a proportion of total personal income inclicate that durilg the opcrational
(occLrpicd) phase of the proposed dcvelopment. the new'residents rvill generatc $21.5 million in
annttal personal expenditurcs. including expenditures o1-$3.7 rnillion fbr shoppipg goods. $5.0 nrillion
fbr convenience goods. and an additional $ 12.8 rnillion in consumption ,;xpenr1itures. -l-hc ccor1or1ic
impacts expected to result 1l'om the cornpletior.r ofthe proposed redcr,elopntent ip Bloorringclale during
