Meeting Date: September 17, 2024
Submitted by: Andrew Gonzales
From: Development Services
Subject:
Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance No. 0-2024-05, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Placentia, Amending Chapter 23.105, Specific Plan 5, to permit mixed-use development, parking structures, and associated development standards on Parcel No. 9 located on a 2.72 -acre site on property located at 777 W. Orangethorpe Avenue and 776 S.
Placentia Avenue (APN 339-112-27)
Financial Impact:
Fiscal Impact:
It is anticipated the project would generate approximately $1.2 million in one-time revenue to the General Fund in the form of permit fees, however revenue from those fees are fees for service supporting the additional work for Staff created directly by the project's construction and would not be available for other City operations. An additional $2.6 million is anticipated from one-time Citywide development impact fees which can only be used for future infrastructure projects and are not available to support the daily operations of the City.
Once the project is complete, the project is expected to generate $244,209 in new General Fund revenue annually through a combination of higher property tax, sales tax, and utility users tax. The project is anticipated to require $246,435 in new annual General Fund expenses primarily for increased Police and Fire response to support the new residents. In summary, the project is projected to generate a net annual loss of ($2,226) to the General Fund.
Recommendation:
Recommended Action : It is recommended, if City Council chooses to adopt Ordinance No. 0-2024-05:
Perform Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance No. 0-2024-05, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Placentia, California, amending Chapter 23.105, Specific Plan No. 5, of the Placentia Municipal Code.
