A 100,000 square foot office project pays $384,000 in traffic reduction fees and $317,000 in <br />construction tax to the City of Pasadena, based on the 2008 Los Angeles County average <br />construction cost for new multi -story office buildings of $165.54 per square foot as reported by <br />Reed Construction Data. In addition, the project would add $99,889 in Building Permit fees, <br />$149,828 in Building Inspection charges, $99,630 in other inspection fees, such as fire, design, <br />public works and code compliance review fees. The project would also contribute $166,540 in <br />1 % for public arts money. <br />One Time Fees City of Pasadena <br />■ City of Pasadena <br />One Time Fees in <br />$1000s-100,000 <br />Square Feet of New <br />Construction <br />Const.

Art <br />A 100,000 square foot commercial building pays business license fees of $1,500 and an <br />additional $23,000 in business license fees for enterprises in the building. <br />That same 100,000 square foot building pays $275,000 for electricity and $150,000 for other <br />local utilities. That local utility usage generates $54,000 in utility user taxes, not including taxes <br />paid on telephone and other communications services. <br />That same 100,000 square foot office complex would generate approximately $20,000,000 <br />annually in salaries and gross receipts of $50,000,000. The operations within the complex can be <br />reasonably expected to generate an additional $26,250,000 in salaries paid to supporting workers <br />throughout the region and $69,375,000 in additional receipts in the region. <br />The 400 workers in the building can be estimated to spend some amount of their wages in local <br />businesses, as well. $1,056,000 can be expected to flow into the local economy as a result of <br />casual spending by office workers in a 100,000 square foot complex, based on data compiled by <br />the International Council of Shopping Centers. Our estimate is conservatively calculated at 50% <br />of the ICSC estimated office worker spending at $110 per week in 2004. <br />18 <br />
