We hereby find and determine these considerations are as follows: A. Economically, the City needs a greater tax base as a result of Proposition 13. -5- 4926 n. The development of a hotel on the Site will act as a catalyst for future development and will lead toward the rapid and successful implementation of the Arcadia Redevelopment Plan to eliminate blight in the Project area.for the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the City of Arcadia. C. Currently there exists a less than adequate amount of banquet facilities within the City. It is felt that the development of a hotel will address this need without placing an additional burden upon the tax payers for a like publicly-owned facility. 6. That the Clerk of the Council shall certify to the adoption of this resolution.
