Assessment of the Potential Fiscal Impacts of Existing and Proposed Transit-Oriented Development in the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Service Area
Assessment of the Potential Fiscal Impacts of Existing and Proposed Transit-Oriented Development in the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Service Area Prepared for: Dallas Area Rapid Transit Prepared by: Terry L. Clower, Ph.D. Bernard Weinstein, Ph.D. Michael Seman, M.S. Center for Economic Development and Research University of North Texas Denton, TX November, 2007 ii Executive Summary The research reported here offers a new assessment of the fiscal impacts of transit- oriented development associated with development of the Dallas Area Rapid Transit light rail system. The analysis considers development near existing and planned light rail stations. Our findings support the conclusion that the transit-oriented developments associated with DART Rail stations offer substantial fiscal impacts for local taxing entities. These findings include: • The announced existing and projected values of development projects located near DART Rail stations has increased by almost 50 percent since 2005. • While there are many factors contributing to development investment decisions, proximity to a LRT station is often an important site location factor. The total value of projects that are attributable to the presence of a DART Rail station since 1999 is $4.26 billion (see Table ES1). • Adjusting for tax exemptions and the value of public buildings, the taxable value of real and business personal property associated with the projects reviewed in this analysis along existing DART Rail corridors and the planned Green, Orange, and Blue Line extensions exceed $2.84
