NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF REDLANDS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Redlands hereby approves 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 unmitigated physical blight within the City of Redlands
("City") or overburden public services including, without limitation, police and fire protection
services. The Project consists of the construction of a 142 square foot addition to an existing
4,856 square foot restaurant building and related site improvements to accommodate the addition
of a drive-through facility.
The Project will not create physical blight. The Project's design enhances the surrounding
shopping center, provides landscaping on thirty percent (30%) of the Project site consisting of
-I-
L\cclerktResolutionslRes 7300-739917382 SECB Panera.doc
the planting of twenty-three (23) new trees for a total of eight-three (83) trees at the Project site,
and will adequately screen the drive-through facility through landscaping design. The Project
does not conflict with the predominant uses present in the surrounding areas, and provides
improvements to an existing building that blend in with and enhance the surrounding community
through the use of similar and decorative architectural features, the maintenance of landscaping
buffers along the public right-of-way, and the planting of new trees on the Project site.
Regional public infrastructure has been previously installed in accordance with the
Redlands General Plan Circulation Element for the neighboring streets. Although the Project
does not require significant regional public infrastructure upgrades for any utility or service, the
Project developer will make improvements to facilitate implementation of the Project, including
improvements to a Cypress Avenue drive-way entrance and appropriate regulatory signage to
prohibit illegal left turns into the existing shopping center. The Project developer will also pay
transportation impact fees to the City as its fair share of cost of improvements to the roadway
system.
The Project, when completed, will generate approximately six (6) new jobs associated
with the addition of drive-through services for the existing restaurant. The Project also provides
the City with a net increase in property and sales taxes.
As determined in the Socio-Economic Cost/Benefit Study, the Project will provide an
annual "new net" revenue of$4,166.30 to the City upon operation, and annual ongoing costs of
approximately $2,664.20. This equates to a revenue/cost ratio of a positive factor of 1.56. For
every dollar it spends, the City will receive $1.56 in revenue.
Because the Project will expand the City's economic base by increasing property and
sales tax revenues; provide jobs; 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 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 $4,166.30 and approximately $2,664.20 in cost
and have a positive balance of$1,502.10. For every dollar the City spends in providing services
to the Project,the City will receive$1.56 in"new net"revenue.
The Project would provide an addition to an existing restaurant to accommodate the
establishment of a drive-through facility, landscaping thirty percent (30%) of the Project site,
including the maintenance of landscaping along street frontages and within the center. Schools
will be enhanced with the payment of school fees. Further, with the additional revenue provided
to the City through increased property tax assessment, business license tax, sales tax and other
revenue services, indirect funding will be provided for cultural enhancements, downtown district

enhancements, park enhancements, public safety (Police and Fire) enhancements, and traffic
enhancements.
Implementation of the Project will bring economic benefits to the City, including an
expanded economic base and additional sources of employment, through new permanent jobs
and short-term employment related to construction.
