(column c), by multiplying column a by column b. The reasonableness of this approach was verified by examining historical growth in local nonresidential TGSF. Since there is local data on the number of employees and TGSF, but not on the number of visitors (in total or by class – apart from tourist accommodation), employees are used to allocate equivalent population across the nonresidential classes. An underlying assumption is that number of visitors is generally proportionate to number of employees. So, column d calculates the percent of total employees attributable to each nonresidential class. These percentages are then used to distribute the growth in equivalent population (8,596) across the classes (column e). – The equivalent population Step 3: Determine Equivalent Population Density by Class density (i.e., equivalent population per TGSF) by class is shown in Table 2 (column f), and is determined by dividing the total growth in equivalent population (column e) attributable to each class by the growth in TGSF (column a) for that class. – The SDC is the product of the equivalent Step 4: Determine SDC per TGSF by Class population density (column f) and the system-wide unit cost per person ($1,102) described previously. Based on the analysis presented in Table 2, the SDCs per TGSF range from $209 for category E (e.g., warehousing) to $2,127 for category A (e.g., hotel). Table 3 presents the complete SDC schedule for residential and nonresidential developments based on the approach described above. It also projects the revenue recovery by class and the portion of revenue to be recovered from nonresidential development: 16.4 percent.
