<br /> 78-63(c) Zohihg Petition Z 78-2 - Petition of Construction Associates, Inc., deferred
<br />from Public Hearing meeting of February 1~, 1978.
<br />
<br />The following report was received f¢om the City Manager:
<br />
<br /> "During the discussion of agenda item Z-78-2 at your February public hearing on zoning,
<br />you requested a report from this office on the possible economic impact ef approving the above
<br />referenced zoning application. The requested analysis is attached for your information. The
<br />report was prepared by staff members of the Office of Management and Legislative Services unde
<br />the direction of this office. Also attached for your information are copies of the Planning
<br />Department's staff report to the Planning Commission, and the minutes of the Commission's
<br />deliberation on this item.
<br />
<br /> A cursory review of the attac~ed report will reveal that the economic impact of the pro-
<br />posed rezoning is significantly negative. You will note that the same analysis applied to a
<br />R-60 or R-75 user produces the same negative impact but to a lesser degree. Educational cost
<br />was used as tge primary indicator in this analysis as it is one of the few public goods which
<br />lends itself to analysis of direct unit cost. All other municipal costs would not vary signi-
<br />ficantly when applied to any of the three alternatives examined on the same site,
<br />
<br /> In order to provide a comparison with the above under the existing zoning, the same 40
<br />acre site with an investment of $10,000,000 in real property would provide the City approxi-
<br />mately $150,000 annually in revenues with no direct educational cost to offset it. Other
<br />City costs for municipal services would be marginal and not significantly different from the
<br />fhree residential alternatives discussed in the report.
