Development Authority, Housing and Redevelopment Authorit~r, Planning Commission and City <br />Council. <br />27. The City Council finds that image is a huge driver in encouraging development ~ the <br />communit~~, that laving the Landfill located at the northern entrance to the City ad~Tersel~l i~.npacts <br />tl~e linage the City wishes to portray to visitors, residents and potential new businesses, and that <br />expanding the Landfill and extending its life span will significantly increase these negative ~npacts. <br />28. The City Council further finds that expansion of the Landfill will prevent future <br />development, at a ~Z~ini~nu~n, in that portion of the SDA which will be filled with Mixed Solid waste, <br />and could discourage the type of high quality comnaercial~industrial development which the City is <br />seeldng for the important area of the Ci~T immediately surrounding the SDA, inchuding the critical <br />area mound the future interchange at Highway 1 G9 aid 2215 Avenue. <br />29, The City Council .recognizes that there are some positive economic impacts related <br />to the Landfill, including the host fees which tla.e City collects from the Landfill and tl~.e business <br />wluch ER.L does with. local residents and businesses. However, these are short term economic <br />benefits which will end once tla.e Landfill closes. At that point, the portion of the SDA filled with <br />MSw will generate virtually no revenue to the City, and tax revenues generated from the immediate <br />surrounding area will be negatively impacted to some degree. <br />30, The City Council finds that the Landfill also has noi~~econoinic negative impacts on <br />the City and on surrounding residential uses while it is open, including litter on Highway 1 G9 and <br />other public sheets from trucl~s mooring to and froth the Landfill, the trucl~ traffic itself, load <br />maintenance impacts, noise and odor. Although ERL and wMI IZa~re been excellent corporate <br />citizens and have made every effort to mitigate these impacts, the~T are not capable o£ being fully <br />mitigated until tl~e Landf~l. is closed. Expanding the size and extending the life of the Landfill will <br />prolong the period of t~i.~ne that the Cit~r and surrounding residents must endure these impacts. <br />S,~Resolutions~ResolL~ia~~,Denying~~l~~licatia~i_for_Comp_Pl~~a_Ame~~d_anc~_Reza~ung 2,DOC <br />
