Resolution Approving a Negative Declaration Covering the Proposed Project 2. Resolution Determining Agency has Complied with Section 33433 of the California Health & Safety Code and Approving Disposition and Development Agreement Chairman Mulryan declared the public hearing opened. Executive Director Robert F. Beyer stated that at the previous meeting, concern had been expressed regarding the price of the property which covers 1.039 acres of Agency -owned land on nest Francisco Boulevard adjacent to McPhail's present holdings. The price is $8.00 per square foot (an increase of twenty cents a foot over the price offer), or $362,192. Member Frugoli felt the interest rate of 9% was low and that 11% would be more appropriate; but Member Nave stated that in his opinion 10217o interest would be fair and would not place pressure on the applicant. Lynn Sedway, Consultant, speaking for McPhail's Incorporated, mentioned that McPhail's has agreed to pay $8.00 per square foot, which is market price. She stated that McPhail's also stands ready to pay the 1027o interest rate. Steve Wisenbaker, Architect for the project, presented a scaled model and explained its design, stating that it is simple and cost effective, in addition to being a quality solution to what is a mundane project. The arcades all around the property will help control the signing program. Also, the roof contour has been designed in such a way that it will have angles breaking the usual monotony of such buildings. The roof will be metal. In reply to Member Breiner's question about its finish, Mr. Wisenbaker said that it will probably be painted. As to the landscaping, it is organic throughout the parking lot, with trees which will front Francisco Boulevard. Member Russom inquired about a space across the lot, and Mr. Wisenbaker said that it will be landscaped but that the developer may wish to use that space to extend the parking area at a later date. He also pointed out that the visual impact will be greatly improved when the present tall gravel bin is replaced by this shopping center which will be set low. Mrs. Lynn Sedway referred to the fiscal benefits it is felt this project will bring to the City. The Center will generate an approxi- mate amount of $36,000 per year in property taxes and at least $74,000 in annual sales taxes. Member Russom asked whether retailers had shown interest in locating in the area, and Mrs. Sedway replied that McPhail's Appliances would be a significant draw to the area. There may be an auto parts store, some home furnishings, etc. SRRA/SRCC Minutes (Special Joint) 1/3/84 Page 1 SRRA/SRCC Minutes (Special Joint) 1/3/84 Page 2 Iver.
