Measure A – Why is this project good for the City of Redding? • Traffic Ramp Improvements Needed to enhance businesses within City • Not a “Mall” but a regional based Shopping Center • Different tenant mix, different target customer, traveler services • There is minimal shift of sales revenue from City to County with a negligible effect on City tax revenues • Regional Trade Area is undersupplied with Regional Retail by approx. 1,200,000 SF • Development does not create conditions of urban decay • Capturing unspent dollars in the trade area and from I-5 customers • 25% of retail expenditures are occurring outside of the Trade Area • Stronger County services enhance City services • Public Safety, Social Services and Mental Health, Realignment Source: Urban Decay Analysis prepared Oct. 2009

Measure B – Why is “B” Bad for Redding and Shasta County? • Disregards Private Property Rights • Contrary to General Plan • No EIR under CEQA for 5,000 acres frozen • Removes utilization of key interchange for other than residential • Stops improvements to Knighton interchange sufficient to support City projects by Airport • Stops new jobs (County & City) • Establishes poor planning practices

Measure B – Why is “B” Bad for Redding and Shasta County? • Creates further stress on the quality of County services, diminishing quality of life for all citizens • Cost to taxpayer to amend policy by voters of Shasta County • $20,000-$300,000 per election • Cost to taxpayer to defend if challenged in court • $100,000-$500,000 • All this over 86 acres? <0.02% of total agricultural land in Shasta County • What’s next?
Measure B NO
What does Measure B prevent? The Project (period) • It does not provide any more protection of agricultural lands than currently exists • It prevents many Churn Creek Bottom land owners from expanding their agricultural operations (Full Time Agriculture) due to zoning restriction • It prevents the comprehensive regional planning as required by State Statute
