2. 123: RESOLUTION NO. ARA95-04: A RESOLUTION OF THE ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY APPROVING AN OWNER PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE AGENCY
AND FRY'S ELECTRONICS; AND FURTHER APPROVING A COOPERATION AGREEMENT BY AND
BETWEEN THE AGENCY AND THE CITY OF ANAHEIM.
Jeff Kirsch, 2661 West Palais Road, Anaheim. His concerns related to traffic,
and in particular that most of the other Fry's stores are located in closer
proximity to freeway exits than this proposal, so there is not so much impact
on local streets. As part of the CEQA determination, is there additional
traffic impact information the Agency could share? His main problem with the

proposal is given the City's economic picture, should it sacrifice sales tax
revenue where there might not be job creation.
Phillip Knypstra, 2520 Gelid Avenue, Anaheim. He did not believe the data
given is sufficient for the Agency to make an i~telligent decision on this
redevelopment project. It is important to pursue Redevelopment, his concern
is that it pits one city bid against another redevelopment bid from another
city, and he is not sure that we really know what the trade-offs are. He also
did not understand the JTPA connection.
Lisa Stipkovich, Executive Director, Redevelopment Agency responded to the
public input and questions: A traffic study was performed and it was
approved, and indicated some mitigation needed in particular the expansion of
the Tustin bridge. However this use vs. industrial in place is a pretty good
choice in terms of traffic mostly occuring during off-peak traffic hours and
weekends.
She stated that they did analyze the benefit to the City and do see a net gain
as this is presently a vacant defense industry building, hot being used.
Because of the size and nature of the building there are some external
rehabilitation costs.
Concerning the JTPA involvement, there will be 3-400 jobs created, and by
involving JTPA Anaheim residents can have some priority on filling them.
There is no tax revenue given until they reach $21 million and her department
did verify sales taxes received from Fry's in other cities. She also noted on
the issue of sales tax transfer that they do not see this organization as
being in head-to-head competition with any business currently in the City.
In conclusion, Ms. Stipkovich noted that it will be necessary to add to the
wording of the resolution, that the Agency authorizes changes to this
agreement which are in substantial conformance with the attached agreement, as
there may be additional minor changes prior to actual execution of the
document.
Agency Member Tait noted that while he would like to see Fry's in Anaheim, he
cannot support the agreement since it gives this business an unfair advantage
over others.
