and will be exploring this possibility.

examples that utilize lower tax rates. He discussed practical applications of real
estate tax burden on citizens.

AGENDA ITEM: Consider a request authorizing the City Manager to finalize and
execute a Performance Agreement between Shiv Kripa, LLC, the
City of Salem, and the Economic Development Authority of the City
of Salem. Continued from the May 23, 2022 Council meeting.
SUBMITTED BY: Jay Taliaferro, City Manager
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
The subject property consists of a single parcel of approximately 0.47 acres located on the north
side of West Main Street, at the northwest corner of the intersection with Valleydale Avenue. It is
occupied by a single story building originally built as a "Wendy's" in 1976 and most recently
occupied by "Zaxby's". There is a drive thru lane on the western side. The property has been
vacant for several years. JSS Holdings purchased the property in 2020 and located a tenant for
the building. A site plan for the property was submitted March 15th, 2021, and approved March
18th with minor revisions. Due to the small size of the site a few modifications were made to the
zoning requirements to make redevelopment possible, notably with respect to landscaping, due
to the small size of the site and the existing building location. Improvements to the property
include paint and other minor work to the exterior, the addition of a small outdoor dining area,
and a new sign facing to accommodate the Lessee. The assessment at that time was $543,100
and was estimated to be between $650,000 and $700,000 with improvements. At the May 18,
2021 meeting of the Economic Development Authority, the EDA voted to approve an agreement
for an improvement grant on the Moe’s project based on 30% of the net improvement value,
capped at $30,000 per year for up to three years.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval.
