The methodology and assumptions for both differ but are necessary for accuracy. <br />Resident -Derived Sales Tax <br />To determine the resident share, RSG obtained average annual household expenditures for <br />households within a 1-mile radius of the Project from ESRI Business Analyst. By adjusting the <br />household expenditures based on taxable and non-taxable sales, RSG estimates that each <br />household would spend an average of $17,836 at buildout. Based on experience with previous <br />projects in the City, an estimated 60 percent of those expenditures would be subject to Santa <br />Ana's sales tax. <br />The State and County sales tax receive 6 percent and 0.75 percent of taxable sales, respectively. <br />In addition, the City levies its own sales tax at a rate of 1 percent. In 2018, Santa Ana voters <br />approved an additional sales tax of 1.5 percent that would then decrease to 1 percent in 2029 <br />until sunsetting in 2039. RSG took this increase into consideration when analyzing the affects the <br />new residents would have on the City's General Fund. <br />Using ESRI's Business Analyst Online software, RSG was able to estimate the amount of taxable <br />expenditures the average new household would make in the City. That number was then <br />multiplied by the number of occupied households (581). This provided an estimate of total taxable <br />sales of $6.2 million. From there, the taxable sales were multiplied by both the City's base tax <br />rate and the Measure X additional rates (1 percent and 1.5 percent). Therefore, the residential <br />derived sales tax revenue from the base tax rate is an estimated $62,205 at buildout. The <br />
