OF REDLANDS AS FOLLOWS
Section 1 The City Council of the City of Redlands hereby approved the Socio -
Economic Cost/Benefit Study for the Project based upon the following findings
A THE PROJECT WILL NOT CREATE UNMITIGATED PHYSICAL BLIGHT
WITHIN THE CITY OR OVERBURDEN PUBLIC SERVICES INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, THE SUFFICIENCY OF POLICE AND FIRE PROTECTION SERVICES
The Project will not create significant unmitigatable physical blight in the City of
Redlands ("City") or overburden public services, including without limitation police and fire
protection services, because the mitigation measures for enviromnental impacts, described in the
study, have been added to the Project as Conditions of Approval
The Project will not create physical blight The Project's design enhances the surrounding
neighborhood, and preserves approximately 9 35 acres of citrus grove which has been acquired
by the applicant and incorporated into the Project as a means of providing open space Upon
approval and recordation of the tentative tract map, the 9 35 acres of citrus grove will be deeded
to the City of Redlands along with a funding mechanism to operate the grove in perpetuity The

Project does not conflict with the predominant uses present in the surrounding areas, as the
Project site abuts established residential developments to the north, and south, and provides
improvements that blend in with and enhance the surrounding community through the use of
landscaped buffers along the public right-of-way, the maintenance of open space, the
construction of a park internal to the site, and the and the planting of new trees on the Project
site
The Project developer will make improvements to facilitate implementation of the
Project, including the widening of road along the project for Pennsylvania Avenue and Lugonia
Avenue
The Project would upgrade water, sewer, and storm dram infrastructure and provide
connections to existing City infrastructure Utilities will be placed underground The Project
developer is required to fund its fair share allocation of any necessary public infrastructure
associated with development of the Project
As determined in the Socio -Economic Cost/Benefit Study, annually, the Project will
provide an annual "new net" revenue of $136,389 20 to the City upon occupancy, and annual
ongoing costs of approximately $75,903 00 This equates to a revenue/cost ratio of a positive
factor of 1 8 For every dollar it spends, the City will receive $1 80 in revenue
Because the Project will expand the City's economic base by increasing property tax
revenues, and provide for the development of new housing within the City, provide the
infrastructure necessary to meet Project needs in an efficient and cost effective manner, and
place an emphasis on design and landscaping, the City finds that the Project will not create
unmitigatable physical blight within the City or overburden public services, including without
limitation police and fire protection services
B THE BENEFITS TO THE CITY RESULTING FROM DEVELOPMENT OF THE
PROJECT OUTWEIGH ANY DIRECT COST TO THE CITY THAT MAY RESULT
The Socio -Economic Cost/Benefit Study demonstrates that, annually, the Project will generate
"new net" revenues of approximately $136,389 20 and approximately $75,903 00 in costs and
have a positive balance of $260, 486 30 For every dollar the City spends in providing services to
the Project, the City will receive $1 80 in "new net" revenue
The Project would provide for the development of one hundred and five (105) single-
family residential lots and five (5) lettered lots and landscaped buffers along the public right-of-
way Schools will be enhanced with the payment of school fees Further, with the additional
revenue provided to the City through increased property tax assessment, and the payment of
development impact fees, direct and indirect funding will be provided for cultural enhancements,
downtown district enhancements, park enhancements, public safety (Police and Fire)
enhancements, and traffic enhancements
