There are several other taSks which will help to translate these community/school district fmdings to results that can be utilized for the region. One taSk is the calculation of prototype fiscal results for specific land uses. Unlike the comprehensive fiscal evaluations conducted for the two scenarios, which include the interaction of the forecasted residential/nomesidentialland uses, the prototype fiscal analysis takes a snap shot of what the direct fiscal result is by type of land use. We will calculate the cost for a single-family unit as well as the other relevant land uses as discussed later. Another task which will meet the objectives of this RFP is to work with Metro Council staff in preparing a regional fiscal impact assessment. The consultant team will bring its expertise from throughout the US and also help to further interpret the fmdings of the ten entities to develop a regional fiscal impact assessment. Another important taSk is the preparation of a paper on possible implementation strategies which recommends ways in which the various commuirities in the region might enhance the develop patterns in the Metro area. TASK 1 Provide Technical Assistance Regarding Scenarios for Each Community and/or School District. A critical first step is to further define the two scenarios - current trends and the Council's adopted regional growth strategy - in terms of land use categories. Since the Council staff has community level population. household and employment forecasts, we will recommend the specific' land use categories that should be utilized for each of the selected communities and school districts. For example, there are likely to be at least two residential categories and four nonresidential categories. The specific land use categories are likely to vary by particular community based. on their zoninglland use classification. However an effort will be made to evaluate fairly standard categories. As part of this task, we will provide technical support in determining the employment allocations and land use category assumptions. As part of this task, we will also provide input to the list of non-fIscal impacts that Council staff will study during the same time frame. . An option for each of the selected communities and school districts will be to have up to four fIscal analysis zones or geographic subareas. The benefit of having such a fiscal analysis zone (PAZ) is to allow a further refinement in the demands for seIVices, available and excess capacity of capital facilities and different impacts on. costs as well as possibly revenues.. For.example.. if St. Paul is one. of the sample communities, there could be' an area within the City where there is disinvestment. If an F AZ reflected disinvestment, T A would consider not only the loss in revenues within that F AZ, but also increased costs incmred. (TA condu~ one of the fust disinv~nt fiscal analyses for Little Rock). T A will discuss the practicality as well. as the ~irability. of the specific F AZci with Council: staff and those representing the community and/or school district. - The hind use asSumptions will be forecasted for each F AZ. Therefore, it is likely that for some F AZs experiencing stagnation or disinvestment, there may be decreases in certain types of land use. The forecasts will be for up to 20 years.
