177 Councilmember Mohr asked if they are looking at recreation locations both within and without Hacienda. Mr. Callahan stated they have looked at two of the high school facilities but ran into a strange legal problem that has made that a difficult situation and not feasible; that is why he has gone back to the Center, where there is less impact and better accessibility for Hacienda employees as well as surrounding business parks. There being no further testimony, Mayor Brandes declared the public hear- ing closed. Councilmember Butler stated that with regard to the Environmental Impact Report, he felt the findings are appropriate; they point out where the sig- nificant impacts are, such as traffic, noise, etc. As pointed out earlier, the City is not in the same financial position it was several years ago; largely because of that economic benefit to the City 9overnment, it is not a major consideration at this point. Likewise some of the other overriding con- siderations could be treated as frosting on the cake; they are important but they are not the real major benefit. The most important is employment and the impact that has on the City's residents well being. The economy of the area as a whole benefits tremendously from this kind of development. That has a ripple effect on businesses throughout the City and in the area. It also has impact on housing. Generally people will be better off for this development. That employment also leads to important contributions to the cultural and so- cial life of the City.
