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 95-1 Anaheim Civic Center, ANAHEIM REDEVELOPMENT A~NCY MARCH ZSt 1995t 5=00 P.M. 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 intelligent 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.
