Strategic Plan
Initiative (2025-2028)
Economic Development
• Support and engage with both new and established
businesses to revive economic growth and job
creation
• Revitalize residential and commercial blighted areas
through targeted initiatives, private investment, and
community partnerships
• Strategically explore and expand economic
development opportunities throughout the city
Housing
• Facilitate the addition of workforce, low-income,
farmworker housing, and ADU development, while
minimizing impacts to neighborhoods
Fiscal Impact
No immediate impact to the City’s General Fund.
Should negotiations progress to the sale of the
two lots, the City would receive one-time sale
proceeds.
It is further anticipated that the future proposed
development would result in increased property
and sales tax revenue.
Recommendations
• It is recommended that the City Council take the
following actions:
• Find the project exempt from environmental
analysis pursuant to Sections 15060(c),
15061(b)(3), and/or 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines
• Adopt an ordinance approving a Land Disposition
and Development Agreement [Development
Agreement 2025-001 (DA 2025-001)] between
the City of Salinas and Taylor Fresh Foods
