protection services, because the mitigation measures for environmental impacts, described in the
study, have been added to the project as conditions of approval
The Project provides improvements to blend in with and enhance the surrounding
community through the use of landscaped buffers along the public right-of-way, residences with
architectural enhancement along all public right-of-ways, decorative fencing and a masonry
perimeter wall, the maintenance of open space, and the planting of new trees on the Project site
As determined in the Socio-Economic Cost/Benefit Study, annually, the Project will
provide an annual "new net" revenue of $265,358 to the City upon occupancy, and annual
ongoing costs of approximately $150,892 This equates to a revenue/cost ratio of a positive
factor of 1 72 For every dollar it spends, the City will receive $1 72 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 m 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
Regional public infrastructure has been previously installed for the neighboring
streets The Project developer will make improvements to facilitate implementation of the
Project, including the widening of roads along the project frontage The Project would provide

infrastructure associated with development of the Project
