The City Council of the City of Redlands hereby approves the Socio- Econonuc Cost/Benefit Study for the Project Entitlements 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 ux the City of Redlands ("City") or overburden public services, including without limitation police and fire protection services, because the mitigation measures for environmental impacts, described in the study, have been added to the Project Entitlements as Conditions of Approval. The Project A- IAResolutionslRes 7900-7999\7984 SECS Study.doc Entitlements consist of Conditional Use Permit No. 905 Revision 4, Variance 802, and Street Vacation No. 169 for the 15,250 square foot expansion of the Packing House District shopping center on a 1.9 acre site in the TC (Town Center) District of the Downtown Specific Plan. As determined in the Socio-Economic Cost/Benefit Study, annually, the Project Entitlements will provide an annual "new net" revenue of $32,105 to the City upon occupancy, and annual ongoing costs of approximately $8,925. This equates to a revenue/cost ratio of a positive factor of 3.6. For every dollar it spends, the City will receive $3.60 in revenue. Because the Project Entitlements will expand the City's economic base by increasing property and sales tax revenues, and provide for the development of new jobs 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 Entitlements 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 Entitlements will generate "new net" revenues of approximately $32,105 to the City upon occupancy, and annual ongoing costs of approximately $8,925. This equates to a revenue/cost ratio of a positive factor of 3.6. For every dollar it spends, the City will receive $3.60 in revenue. The Project Entitlements would provide for the expansion of an existing shopping center. Further, with the additional revenue provided to the City through increased sales taxes, 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.
