Executive Summary for Action
Golden Valley Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting
November 12, 2014
Agenda Item
2. Public Hearing - Modification No. 2 to the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment
Financing (Renewal and Renovation) District Within Highway 55 West Redevelopment Project
Area (Highway 55 TIF Renewal and Redevelopment Project)
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Sue Virnig, Finance Director
Summary
On Octaber 14, 2014, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) passed a resolution
expressing intent to modify the existing Tax Increment Financing (TIF) plan within the Highway 55
West TIF District No. 1 in order to support the.project proposed by Golden Villas, LLC.
The existing plan for Highway 55 West TIF District No. 1 (Renewal and Renovation) identifies the
statutory authority, highlights current conditions in the project area, outlines anticipated
improvements, and identifies goals, objectives, policies, and administration for the proposed
project area. The modified TIF plan outlines the anticipated income created by the new project
within the district and planned expenditures.
Following the public hearing, the HRA will consider the adoption of the modified Financing Plan
and forward it to the City Council for consideration. Prior to consideration by the City Council,the
Planning Commission must review the plan to determine if it is in accord with the City's
Comprehensive Plan. If forwarded by the HRA, the Council would hold another public hearing to
consider its adoption.
If the modified Financing Plan is approved, State Statutes allow the district to continue for 15
years. However, the City could choose to close the district when increment covering the
expenditures has been received. The Financing Plan creates an overall budget, but the City
Council is required to authorize each project to be financed by the TIF.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of Motlification No. 2 to the Tax Increment Financing Plan for the Tax Increment Financing(Renewal
and Renovation) District Highway 55 TIF Renewal and Retlevelopment Project is to account for a delay in scope and
timing of the proposed private development. The original TIF Plan anticipated the tlevelopment of a 142 unit
apartment building,with construction commencing in 2013. This TIF Plan modification is prepared to update the
development scenario to account for the development of a 162 unit apartment building with construction commencing
in 2015. The modification also accounts for an increase in the project budget to account for the revised size and
scope of the proposetl development. The proposed modifications to the TIF plan are highlighted by untlerlined text.
The proposed modification does not increase the overall size of the District, but does increase the overall size of the
budget. The sections being modified are: F, I,J, K, L, M, N, 0, P,V,X,and Y.

Section D Statement of Objectives
See "Statement of Objectives"on pages 4-5 of the of the Retlevelopment Plan for the Project Area.
Section E Designation of Tax Increment Financing District as a
Renewal and Renovation District
Renewal and Renovation districts are a type of tax increment financing district in which the following conditions exists:
1)
i) parcels comprising at least 70% of the area of the district are occupied by buildings, streets,
utilities, paved or gravel parking lots,or other similar structures;
ii) 20 percent of the builtlings are structurally substandard; and
iii) 30 percent of the other buildings require substantial renovation or clearance to remove existing
conditions such as: inatlequate street layout, incompatible uses or land use relationships,
overcrowding of buildings on the land, excessive dwelling unit density, obsolete buildings not
SPRINGSTED Page 1

suitable for improvement or conversion, or other identified hazards to the health, safety, and
general well-being of the community.
2) the conditions described in clause(1)are reasonably distributed throughout the geographic area of the district.
For purposes of determining whether a building is structurally substandard, whether parcels are occupied by
buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures, or whether noncontiguous areas
qualify,the provisions of Minnesota Statutes 469.174,subdivision 10, paragraphs(b)through(fl, apply.
For districts consisting of two more noncontiguous areas, each area must indivitlually qualify under the provisions
listed above,as well as the entire area must also qualify as a whole.
The TIF District qualifies as a renewal and renovation district in that it meets all of the criteria listed in (1) and (2)
above. An executive summary of a report prepared by LHB Corporation that details the qualifications is included in
Exhibit VI.A copy of the entire report with supporting facts and documentation for this determination is on file with the
Authority and is available to the public upon request. The full report will be retained by the Authority for the life of the
TIF District.
"Structurally substandard" is defined as buildings containing defects or deficiencies in structural elements, essential
utilities and facilities, light and ventilation, fire protection (including egress), layout antl condition of interior partitions,
or similar factors. Generally, a building is not structurally substandard if it is in compliance with the building code
applicable to a new building, or could be modified to satisfy the existing code at a cost of less than 15%of the cost of
constructing a new structure of the same size and type.
A city may not find that a building is structurally substandard without an interior inspection, unless it can not gain
access to the property and there exists evidence which supports the structurally substandard finding. Such evidence
inclutles recent fire or police inspections, on-site property tax appraisals or housing inspections, exterior evidence of
deterioration, or other similar reliable evidence. Written documentation of the fintlings and reasons why an interior
inspection was not conducted must be made and retained. A parcel is deemed to be occupied by a structurally
substandard building if the following conditions are met:
(1) the parcel was occupied by a substandard building within three years of the filing of the request for
certification of the parcel as part of the district;
(2) the demolition or removal of the substandard building was performed or financetl by the City, or was
performed by a developer under a development agreement with the City,
(3) the City found by resolution before such demolition or removal occurred that the building was structurally
substandard and that the City intended to include the parcel in the TIF tlistrict, and
(4) the City notifies the county auditor that the original tax capacity of the parcel must be adjusted upon filing
the request for certification of the tax capacity of the parcel as part of a district.
In the case of(4)above,the County Auditor shall certify the original net tax capacity of the parcel to be the greater of
(a)the current tax capacity of the parcel, or (b)a computed tax capacity of the parcel using the estimated market
value of the parcel for the year in which the demolition or removal occurred, and the appropriate classification rate(s)
for the current year.
A parcel is deemed "occupied" if at least 15%of the area of the parcel contains buildings, streets, utilities, paved or
gravel parking lots;or other similar structures.
At least 90 percent of the tax increment from a renewal and renovation district must be used to finance the cost of
correcting conditions that allow designation as a redevelopment tlistrict. These costs include, but are not limited to,
acquiring properties containing structurally substandard buildings or improvements or hazardous substances,
pollution, or contaminants, acquiring adjacent parcels necessary to provide a site of sufficient size to permit
development, tlemolition and rehabilitation of structures, clearing of land, removal of hazardous substances or
SPRINGSTED Page 2
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
remediation necessary to develop the land, and installation of utilities, roads, sidewalks, and parking facilities for the
site. The allocated administrative expenses of the Authority may be included in the qualifying costs.
Section F Duration of the TIF District
Renewal and Renovation districts may remain in existence 15 years from the date of receipt of the first tax increment.
The Authority anticipates that the TIF District will remain in existence the maximum duration allowed by law(projected
to be through the year 2030). Modifications of this plan (see Section Z) shall not exl�nd these Vimitations. Ali fax
increments from taxes payable in the year the TIF District is decertified shall be paid to the A�t�ority.
The Authority has elected to delay receipt of increment for a periotl of four vears; therefore, the anticipatsd first
potential collection vear would not occur until 2016, in the event that inflationarv is aenerated. The Authoritv
anticipates that inflationarv increment will not be generated and therefore the first collection vear will be in 2017. The
Authority reserves the right to allow the TIF District to remain in existence the maximum duration allowed by law
(projected to be through the year 2032), and anticipates that the TIF District may be active for the maximum duration
allowed(see Section P). However the Authority will decertify the TIF District as early as possible should the projectetl
increment be received in a shorter time period than originally projected. All tax increments from taxes payable in the
year the TIF District is decertified shall be paid to the Authority.
Section G Property to be Included in the TIF District
The TIF District is an approximate 4.46-acre area of land located within the Project Area. A map showing the location
of the TIF District is shown in Exhibit I. The boundaries and area encompassed by the TIF District are described

Section I Specific Development Expected to Occur Within the TIF District
The proposed project includes the redevelopment of a currently blighted site by the construction of a 162-unit market
rate apartment project. The proposed apartment proiect will be a six-storv 162-unit Class A market rate apartment
buildina, anticiqated to contain a mix of 113 one-bedroom and 49 two-bedroom units. The average unit size of the
apartments is 846 spuare feet. The apartment aroiect will require site work improvements. Proposed to be
constructed as a result of the apartment project are public improvements proposetl for the area to include
improvements to the Highway 55 access/exit to Decatur Avenue North, sidewalks and lighting to improve pedestrian
safety, burial of overheatl electrical lines, regional storm water facilities and sanitary sewer lining. These
improvements are necessary to facilitate the redevelopment of the blighted site, by facilitating a safer pedestrian
neighborhood antl removing costs prohibitive to the redevelopment of the project area. The Authority anticipates
using tax increment revenues to finance a portion of the eligible public costs related to redevelopment of the project
area antl the development of the apartment proiect throuqh the reimbursement of TIF eliqible expenses includinq land
acauisition,as well as related administrative expenses.
The Authority anticipates development commencing in 2015 for the apartment portion of the project. The public
improvements are slated to be undertaken in conjunction with the apartment project. It is likely that multiple projects
will occur within the District, although it is assumed that all project costs eligible for TIF assistance will have been
initiated by 2018.
Section J Findings and Need for Tax Increment Financing
In establishing the TIF District,the Authority makes the following findings:
(1) The TIF District qualifies as a renewal and renovation district;
The City of Golden Valley retained the services of LHB to inspect and evaluate property
within the proposed Tax Increment Financing District to be established by the Authority,
The purpose of the evaluation was to determine if the proposed district met the statutory
requirements for coverage and if the buildings met the qualifications required for a
Renewal and Renovation District.
These findings are described more completely in Section E and Exhibit VI.
(2) The proposed development, in the opinion of the Authority, would not reasonably be expected to
occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future antl the increased
market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax
increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from the
proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the
maximum tluration of the tlistrict permitted by the TIF Plan.
Factual basis:
Proposed deve%pment not expected to occur.•
The proposed redevelopment consists of the acquisition and demolition/renovation of substandartl buildings,and
the undertaking of necessary public improvements within the proposed TIF District boundaries in the City of
Golden Valley for development of new market rate apartments. The cost of acquisition and demolition/renovation
of the existing buildings coupled with the cost of the public improvements, make the total cost of this effort
significantly higher than reasonably incurred for similar developments on a clean site. The Authonty anticipates
undertaking the public improvements necessary to provide for an area safe for both petlestrian and vehicle traffic,
and to remove costs prohibitive to the redevelopment of the project area.
No highermarket value expected.•
SPRINGSTED Page 4
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Val/ey, Minnesota
If the proposed redevelopment did not go forward, for the same reasons described above, no large scale
alternative redevelopment of the project site would likely occur. The currently blighted building is now closed and
vacated,and it is highly unlikely that significant improvements would be made. It is conceivable that the existing
buildings could be rehabilitatetl antl reopened, but even if that occurred, the result would be only a modest
increase in market value compared to the significant value growth created by the proposed redevelopment. In
short,there is no basis for expectation that the area would redevelop or be renovated in any significant way purely
by private action without public subsidy given the improvements necessary for the development of the project
area.
To summarize the basis for the Authority's findings regartling altemative market value, in accordance with
Minnesota Statutes,Section 469.175,Subd.3(d),the Authority makes the following determinations:
a. The Authonty's estimate of the amount by which the market value of the site will increase
without the use of tax increment financing is anywhere from$0 to some modest amount based on small
scale renovation or redevelopment that could be possible without assistance; any estimated values
would be too speculative to ascertain.
b. If the proposed development to be assisted with tax increment occurs in the District, the total
increase in market value would be approximately 37 240 007, including the value of the building (See
Exhibit II).
c. The present value of tax increments from the District for the maximum duration of the district
permitted by the TIF Plan is estimated to be 5 069 240(See Exhibit�
d. Even if some development other than the proposed development were to occur,the Authority
finds that no alternative would occur that would protluce a market value increase greater than
32170 767(the amount in clause b less the amount in clause c)without tax increment assistance.
(3) The TIF Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the Authority as
a whole,for development of the Project Area by private enterprise.
Factual basis: The anticipated redevelopment of the project site may include the construction of a new 162-unit
market rate apartment building,and the redevelopment of project area consistent with the City's design goals.
(4) The TIF Plan conforms to general plans for development of the Authority as a whole.
Factual basis: The City Planning Commission has determined that the development proposed in the TIF Plan
conforms to the City comprehensive plan.
Section K Estimated Public Costs
The estimated public costs of the TIF District are listed below. Such costs are eligible for reimbursement from tax
increments of the TIF District.
Land/Building Acquisition, Demolition,Special
Assessments, Public Utilities, Site 4 545 891
Improvements/Preparation Costs, and other
Eli ible Im rovement Costs
Bond/Note Interest Pa ments 3 387 437
Administrative ex enses 881 480
Other Ex enditures
Total $8 814 808
SPRINGSTED Page 5
Housing and Redeve/opment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
The Authority reserves the right to administratively adjust the amount of any of the items listed above or to
incorporate additional eligible items,so long as the total estimatetl public cost is not increased. The estimated cost of
capitalized interest is included in the loan interest payment amount. The Authority reserves the right to spend
available tax increment outside of the TIF District boundaries and within the project area.
Section L Estimated Sources of Revenue
Tax Increment revenue 8 814 808
Interest on invested funds
Bond roceeds
Loan roceeds
Grants
Other
Total 8 814 808
The Authority anticipates using future tax increments for reimbursement of public costs incurretl from Section K. As
increments are collected from the TIF District in future years, these taxes will be reserved by the Authority as
reimbursement for public costs incurred, either through internal funding or general obligation or revenue debt. The
Authority reserves the right to finance any or all public costs of the TIF District using pay-as-you-go assistance,
internal funding, general obligation or revenue debt, or any other financing mechanism authorized by law. The
Authority also reserves the right to use other sources of revenue legally applicable to the Project Area to pay for such
costs including, but not limited to, special assessments, utility revenues, federal or state funds, and investment
income.
Section M Estimated Amount of Bonded Indebtedness
The Authority anticipates issuing tax increment bontls to finance a portion of the estimated public costs of the TIF
District, to internally loan funds to the TIF District from allowable Authority and/or City in an amount not to exceed
5 455 069(eligible costs+20%allowance for cost of issuance).
Section N Original Nei Tax Capacity
The County Auditor shall certify the original net tax capacity of the TIF District. This value will be equal to the total net
tax capacity of all property in the TIF District as certified by the State Commissioner of Revenue. For districts certified
between January 1 and June 30, inclusive, this value is based on the previous assessment year. For districts
certified between July 1 antl December 31, inclusive,this value is based on the current assessment year.
The Certifietl Estimated Market Value of all the land within the TIF District as of January 2, 2012,for taxes payable in
2013,was$3,457,000 and the original net tax capacity of the TIF District is 65 390, For the purposes of this TIF plan
the oriqinal net tax capacitv is anticipated to be adiusted to$53 000 at the time of qroiect initiation based on a qortion
of the propertv beinq reclassified to rental to coincide with the develooment and the remaininq area continuinp to be
classified commercial/industrial.
Each year the County Auditor shall certify the amount that the original net tax capacity has increased or decreased as
a result of:
(1) changes in the tax-exempt status of property;
(2) reductions or enlargements of the geographic area of the TIF District;
(3) changes due to stipulation agreements or abatements;or
(4) changes in property classification rates.
SPRINGSTED Page 6
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Val/ey, Minnesota
Section 0 Original Local Tax Rate
The County Auditor shall also certify the original local tax rate of the TIF District. This rate shall be the sum of all local
tax rates that apply to property in the TIF District. This rate shall be for the same taxes payable year as the original
net tax capacity.
In future years,the amount of tax increment generated by the TIF District will be calculated using the lesser of(a)the
sum of the current local tax rates at that time or(b)the original local tax rate of the TIF District.
The Certified Oriqinal Local Tax Rate for the TIF District is the sum of the local tax rates for taxes levied in 2012 and
pavable in 2013,is 148.328%as shown below.
2012/2013
Taxing Jurisdiction Local Tax Rate
City of Golden Valley 58.204%
Hennepin County 49.461%
ISD#270 29.730%
Other 10.933%
Total 148.328%
Section P Projected Retained Captured Net Tax Capacity and
Projected Tax Increment
The Authority anticipates that the apartment project will be 80%completed bv December 31, 2015, creating an initial
tax capacity for the TIF District of �294,420 as of Januarv 2, 2016. The captured tax capacity as of that date is
estimated to be 240 430 and the first-year of tax increment is estimatetl to be $356,625 pavable in 2017. The first
full year of increment is projected to be in $456,480 in taxes aavable 2018, A complete schedule of estimated tax
increment from the TIF District is shown in Exhibit IV.
The estimates shown in this TIF Plan assume that commercial class rates remain at 1.5%for the first $150,000 of
estimated market value and 2.0%of the market value above $150,000; and that rental class rates remain at 1.25%.
The projections also assume a 3%annual increase in market values.
Each year the County Auditor shall determine the current net tax capacity of all property in the TIF District. To the
extent that this total exceeds the original net tax capacity, the difference shall be known as the captured net tax
capacity of the TIF District.
For communities affected by the fiscal disparity provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 473F and Chapter 276A,
the original net tax capacity of the TIF District shall be determinetl before the application of fiscal disparity. In
subsequent years, the current net tax capacity shall either(a)be determined before the application of fiscal disparity
or(b)exclude the product of any fiscal disparity increase in the TIF District (since the original net tax capacity was
certified)times the appropriate fiscal disparity ratio, The method the Authority elects shall remain the same for the life
of the TIF District, except that a single change may be matle at any time from method(a)to method(b)above. »The
Authority elects method (a),or M.S. Section 469.177, Subtlivision 3(a).
The County Auditor shall certify to the Authority the amount of captured net tax capacity each year. The Authority
may choose to retain any or all of this amount. It is the Authority's intention to retain 100%of the captured net tax
capacity of the TIF District. Such amount shall be known as the retained captured net tax capacity of the TIF District.
Exhibit II gives a listing of the various information and assumptions used in preparing a number of the exhibits
contained in this TIF Plan, including Exhibit III which shows the projected tax increment generated over the
anticipated life of the TIF District.
SPRINGSTED Page 7
Housing and Redeve/opment Authority of the City of Golden Val/ey, Minnesota
Section Q Use of Tax Increment
Each year the County Treasurer shall deduct 0.36%of the annual tax increment generated by the TIF District and pay
such amount to the State's General Fund. Such amounts will be appropriated to the State Auditor for the cost of
financial reporting and autlit�ng of tax increment financing information throughout the state. Exhibit III shows the
projected deduction for this purpose over the anticipated life of the TIF District.
The Authority has determined that it will use 100% of the remaining tax increment generatetl by the TIF District for
any of the following purposes:
(1) pay for the estimated public costs of the TIF District (see Section K) and County administrative
costs associated with the TIF District(see Section T);
(2) pay principal and interest on tax increment bonds or other bonds issued to finance the estimated
public costs of the TIF District;
(3) accumulate a reserve securing the payment of tax increment bonds or other bonds issued to
finance the estimated public costs of the TIF District;
(4) pay all or a portion of the county road costs as may be required by the County Board under M.S.
Section 469.175, Subdivision 1a;or
(5) return excess tax increments to the County Auditor for redistribution to the City, County and School
District.
Tax increments from property located in one county must be expended for the tlirect and primary benefit of a project
located within that county, unless both county boards involvetl waive this requirement. Tax increments shall not be
usetl to circumvent levy limitations applicable to the Authority.
Tax increment shall not be used to finance the acquisition, construction, renovation, operation, or maintenance of a
building to be used primarily and regularly for conducting the business of a municipality, county,school district,or any
other local unit of government or the State or federal government, or for a commons area used as a public park, or a
facility usetl for social, recreational, or conference purposes. This prohibition does not apply to the construction or
renovation of a parking structure or of a privately owned facility for conference purposes.
If there exists any type of agreement or arrangement providing for the developer,or other beneficiary of assistance,to
repay all or a portion of the assistance that was paid or financed with tax increments, such payments shall be subject
to all of the restrictions imposed on the use of tax increments. Assistance includes sale of property at less than the
cost of acquisition or fair market value, grants, ground or other leases at less then fair market rent, interest rate
subsidies, utility service connections, roads, or other similar assistance that would otherwise be paid for by the
developer or beneficiary.
Section R Excess Tax Increment
In any year in which the tax increments from the TIF District exceed the amount necessary to pay the estimated
public costs authorized by the TIF Plan,the Authority shall use the excess tax increments to:
(1) prepay any outstanding tax increment bonds;
(2) discharge the pledge of tax increments thereof;

(4) return excess tax increments to the County Auditor for redistribution to the City, County antl School
District. The County Auditor must report to the Commissioner of Etlucation the amount of any
excess tax increment redistributed to the School District within 30 days of such redistribution.
Section S Tax Increment Pooling and the Five Year Rule
At least 75°/a of the tax increments from the TIF District must be expended on activities within the district or to pay for
bonds used to finance the estimated public costs of the TIF District (see Section E for additional restrictions). No
more than 25%of the tax increments may be spent on costs outsitle of the TIF District but within the boundaries of
the Project Area,except to pay debt service on credit enhanced bonds. All administrative expenses are consideretl to
have been spent outside of the TIF District. Tax increments are consideretl to have been spent within the TIF District
if such amounts are:
(1) actually paid to a third party for activities performed within the TIF District within five years after
certification of the district;
(2) used to pay bonds that were issued and sold to a third party, the proceeds of which are reasonably
expected on the date of issuance to be spent within the later of the five-year period or a reasonable
temporary period or are deposited in a reasonably required reserve or replacement fund.
(3) used to make payments or reimbursements to a third party under binding contracts for activities
performed within the TIF District, which were entered into within five years after certification of the
district;or
(4) used to reimburse a party for payment of eligible costs(including interest)incurred within five years
from certification of the district.
Beginning with the sixth year following certification of the TIF District,at least 75%of the tax increments must be used
to pay outstanding bonds or make contractual payments obligated within the first five years. When outstanding bonds
have been defeased and sufficient money has been set aside to pay for such contractual obligations, the TIF District
must be decertified.
The Authority tloes currently anticipate that an eligible portion of tax increments will be spent outside the TIF District
(including allowable administrative expenses),and such expenditures are expressly authorized in this TIF Plan.
Section T Limitation on Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses are defined as all costs of the Authority other than:
(1) amounts paid for the purchase of land;
(2) amounts paid for materials and services, including architectural and engineering services directly
connected with the physical development of the real property in the project;
(3) relocation benefits paid to, or services provided for, persons residing or businesses located in the
project;
(4) amounts used to pay principal or interest on, fund a reserve for, or sell at a tliscount bonds issued
pursuant to section 469.178;or
(5) amounts usetl to pay other financial obligations to the extent those obligations were used to finance
costs described in clause(1)to(3).
Administrative expenses include amounts paid for services provided by bond counsel,fiscal consultants, planning or
economic development consultants, and actual costs incurred by the County in atlministering the TIF District. Tax

increments may be usetl to pay administrative expenses of the TIF District up to the lesser of(a) 10%of the total tax
increment expentlitures authorized by the TIF Plan or(b) 10%of the total tax increments received by the TIF District.
Section U Limitation on Property Not Subject to Improvements- Four Year Rule
If after four years from certification of the TIF District no demolition, rehabilitation, renovation, or qualified
improvement of an adjacent street has commenced on a parcel locatetl within the TIF District, then that parcel shall
be excluded from the TIF District and the original net tax capacity shall be adjusted accordingly. Qualified
improvements of a street are limited to construction or opening of a new street, relocation of a street, or substantial
reconstruction or rebuilding of an existing street. The Authority must submit to the County Auditor, by February 1 of
the fifth year,evidence that the required activity has taken place for each parcel in the TIF District.
If a parcel is excluded from the TIF District and the Authority or owner of the parcel subsequently commences any of
the above activities, the Authority shall certify to the County Auditor that such activity has commenced and the parcel
shall once again be included in the TIF District. The County Auditor shall certify the net tax capacity of the parcel, as
most recently certified by the Commissioner of Revenue, and add such amount to the original net tax capacity of the
TIF District.
Section V Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions
Exhibit IV shows the estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions if the maximum projected retained captured net tax
capacity of the TIF District was hypothetically available to the other taxing jurisdictions. The Authority believes that
there will be no adverse impact on other taxing jurisdictions during the life of the TIF District, since the proposed
development woultl not have occurred without the establishment of the TIF District and the provision of public
assistance. A positive impact on other taxing jurisdictions will occur when the TIF District is decertified and the
tlevelopment therein becomes part of the general tax base.
The fiscal and economic implications of the proposed tax increment financing district, as pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, Section 469.175,Subtlivision 2,are listed below.
1. The total amount of tax increment that will be generated over the life of the district is estimated to be
8 846 656,
2. To the extent the project in the TIF District generates any public cost impacts on city-provided services such
as police and fire protection, public infrastructure, antl the impact of any general obligation tax increment
bonds attributable to the district upon the ability to issue other debt for general fund purposes,such costs will
be levied upon the taxable net tax capacity of the Authority,excluding that portion capturetl by the District,
3. The amount of tax increments over the life of the district that would be attributable to school district levies,
assuming the school districYs share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remainetl the same, is
estimated to be 1 773172.
4. The amount of tax increments over the life of the district that would be attributable to county levies,
assuming the county's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same is
estimated to be 2 949 979.
5. No additional information has been requested by the county or school district that would enable it to
determine additional costs that will accrue to it due to the development proposed for the district.
Section W Prior Planned Improvements
The City shall accompany its request for certification to the County Auditor(or notice of district enlargement), with a
listing of all properties within the TIF District for which building permits have been issued during the 18 months
immediately preceding approval of the TIF Plan. The County Auditor shall increase the original net tax capacity of the
SPRINGSTED Page 10
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Va/ley, Minnesota
TIF District by the net tax capacity of each improvement for which a building permit was issued. The City does not
believe the issuance of the permits will have a significant impact on the original net tax capacity for the District.
Various permits have been issued for property within the TIF District within the last 18 months are a listed below:�

Section X Development Agreements
If within a project containing a renewal and renovation district, more than 25% of the acreage of the property to be
acquired by the Authority is purchased with tax increment bonds proceeds (to which tax increment from the property
is pledged), then prior to such acquisition, the Authority must enter into an agreement for the development of the
property. Such agreement must provide recourse for the Authority should the development not be completed.
The Authoritv does not anticipate acquirinp anv proqertv located within the TIF District however the Authoritv does
reserve the riqht to acquire propertv and enter into an aqreement if deemed necessarv The Authoritv does anticipate
enterinq into a development aqreement but not for qurposes related to the acauisition of propertv with tax increment
bonds.
Section Y Assessment Agreements
The Authority may, upon entering into a development agreement, also enter into an assessment agreement with the
developer, which establishes a minimum market value of the land and improvements for each year during the life of
the TIF District.
The assessment agreement shall be presented to the County or City Assessor who shall review the plans and
specifications for the improvements to be constructed, review the market value previously assigned to the land, and
so long as the minimum market value contained in the assessment agreement appears to be an accurate estimate,
shall certify the assessment agreement as reasonable. The assessment agreement shall be filed for record in the
office of the County Recortler of each county where the property is located. Any modification or premature
termination of this agreement must first be approved by the City, County and School District.
The Authoritv does anticipate enterinp into an assessment apreement
Section Z Modifications of the Tax Increment Financing Plan
Any reduction or enlargement in the geographic area of the Project Area or the TIF District; a determination to
capitalize interest on the debt if that determination was not part of the original TIF Plan, increase in the portion of the
captured net tax capacity to be retainetl by the Authority; increase in the total estimated public costs;or designation of
property to be acquired by the Authority shall be approved only after satisfying all the necessary requirements for
approval of the original TIF Plan. This paragraph does not apply if:
(1) the only motlification is elimination of parcels from the TIF District;and
(2) the current net tax capacity of the parcels eliminated equals or exceetls the net tax capacity of
those parcels in the TIF DistricYs original net tax capacity, or the Authority agrees that the TIF
SPRINGSTED Page 11
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Go/den Valley, Minnesota
District's original net tax capacity will be reduced by no more than the current net tax capacity of the
parcels eliminated.
The Authority must notify the County Autlitor of any modification that reduces or enlarges the geographic area of the
TIF District. The geographic area of the TIF District may be reducetl but not enlarged after five years following the
tlate of certification.
Section AA Administration of the Tax Increment Financing Plan
Upon adoption of the TIF Plan, the Authority shall submit a copy of such plan to the Minnesota Department of
Revenue and the Office of the State Auditor. The Authority shall also request that the County Auditor certify the
original net tax capacity and net tax capacity rate of the TIF District. To assist the County Auditor in this process,the
Authority shall submit copies of the TIF Plan, the resolution establishing the TIF District and adopting the TIF Plan,
and a listing of any prior planned improvements. The Authority shall also send the County Assessor any assessment
agreement establishing the minimum market value of land and improvements in the TIF District, and shall request that
the County Assessor review and certify this assessment agreement as reasonable.
The County shall distribute to the Authority the amount of tax increment as it becomes available. The amount of tax
increment in any year represents the applicable property taxes generated by the retainetl captured net tax capacity of
the TIF District. The amount of tax increment may change due to development anticipated by the TIF Plan, other
development, inflation of property values,or changes in property classification rates or formulas. In administering and
implementing the TIF Plan,the following actions should occur on an annual basis:
(1) prior to July 1, the Authority shall notify the County Assessor of any new development that has
occurred in the TIF District during the past year to insure that the new value will be recorded in a
timely manner.
(2) if the County Auditor receives the request for certification of a new TIF District,or for modification of
an existing TIF District, before July 1, the request shall be recognized in determining local tax rates
for the current and subsequent levy years. Requests receivetl on or after July 1 shall be used to
determine local tax rates in subsequent years.
(3) each year the County Auditor shall certify the amount of the original net tax capacity of the TIF
District. The amount certified shall reflect any changes that occur as a result of the following:
(a) the value of property that changes from tax-exempt to taxable shall be added to the
original net tax capacity of the TIF District. The reverse shall also apply;
(b) the original net tax capacity may be motlified by any approvetl enlargement or reduction of
the TIF District;
(c) if laws governing the classification of real property cause changes to the percentage of
estimated market value to be applied for property tax purposes,then the resulting increase
or decrease in net tax capacity shall be applied proportionately to the original net tax
capacity and the retained captured net tax capacity of the TIF District.
The County Auditor shall notify the Authority of all changes made to the original net tax capacity of the TIF District.
Section AB Filing TIF Plan, Financial Reporting and Disclosure Requirements
The Authority will file the TIF Plan,and any subsequent amendments thereto,with the Commissioner of Revenue and
the Office of the State Auditor pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175,subdivision 4A. The Authority will
comply with all reporting requirements for the TIF District under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175,subdivisions 5
and 6,

would decrease by 1.173%(see Hypothetical Decrease in Local Tax Rate above). The hypothetical tax that the
Retained Captured Net Tax Capacity of the TIF District would generate is also shown above.

RENEWAL AND RENOVATION QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE DISTRICT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
PURPOSE OF EVALUATION
LHB was hired by the City of Golden Valley to inspect and evaluate the properties within a Tax
Increment Financing Renewal and Renovation District ("TIF DistricY') proposed to be established by
the City. The proposed TIF District is located in the City of Golden Valley, bounded by Golden Valley
Road on the North, Highway 55 on the South, and Decatur Avenue North on the West (Diagram 1).
The purpose of LHB's work is to determine whether the proposed TIF District meets the statutory
requirements for coverage, and whether five buildings on seven parcels, located within the proposed
TIF District, meet the qualifications required for a Renewal and Renovation District.

Diagram 1 —Proposed TIF District
SCOPE OF WORK
The proposed TIF District consists of six (6) parcels and a section of public road, with five (5)
commercial buildings.
All five of the buildings received a curbside visual inspection. Three buildings in the proposed TIF
District received an on-site interior and exterior inspection. Building code and Condition Deficiency
reports for each building inspected by LHB are located in Appendix B.

Exhibit VI
CONCLUSION
After inspecting and evaluating the properties within the proposed TIF District and applying current
statutory criteria for a Renewal and Renovation District under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174,
Subdivision 10a, it is our professional opinion that the proposed TIF District qualifies as a Renewal
and Renovation District because:
• The proposed TIF District has a coverage calculation of 100 percent which is above the 70
percent requirement.
• 20 percent of the buildings are structurally substandard which meets the 20 percent
requirement.
• 50 percent of the other buildings require substantial renovation or clearance which is above
the 30 percent requirement.
• The substandard buildings are reasonably distributed throughout the geographic area of the
proposed TIF District.

Resolution 14-6 November 12, 2014
Gommissioner introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION APPROVING MODIFICATION NO. 2 TO THE
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN FOR TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
(RENEWAL AND RENOVATION) DISTRICT NO. 1
BE IT RESOLVED by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of
Golden Valley, Minnesota (the "Authority"), as follows:
WHEREAS, the Authority has previously adopted a redevelopment plan (the "Project
Plan") and redevelopment project under Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.001 to 469.047,
designated as the Highway 55 West Renewal and Renovation Project Area (the
"Redevelopment Project") and a tax increment financing plan of the Authority under
Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 to 469.1799, designated as the Tax Increment
Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing (Renewal and Renovation) District No. 1, as
amended by an administrative modification adopted January 15, 2013 (as so modified, the
"Financing Plan"). The Financing Plan established Tax Increment Financing (Renewal and
Renovation) District No, 1 (the "TIF District").
WHEREAS, it has been proposed that the Authority approve Modification No. 2 to
the Financing Plan (the "Amended Financing Plan") to account for a delay in scope and
timing of the proposed private development and to increase the budget of the TIF District,
all as reflected in the Amended Financing Plan and presented for the Authority's
consideration;
WHEREAS, the Authority has investigated the facts relating to the Amended
Financing Plan and has caused the Amended Financing Plan to be prepared;
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota (the "City
Council"), has scheduled a public hearing on the Amended Financing Plan to be held on
December 2, 2014, in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 469 (the "Public
Hearing");
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board as follows:
Section 1, Ado�tion. The Amended Financing Plan is hereby adopted based on the
findings herein, subject to approval by the City Council following the Public Hearing.
Section 2. Findinqs. The Authority hereby makes the following findings:
(a) The District consists of a contiguous geographic area within a "project" as
defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, subdivision 8, and is a proper "tax
increment financing district" within the meaning of Section 469.174, subdivision 9.
Based on the information in Amended Financing Plan and representations of the
developer, the District contains the following conditions: Parcels consisting of 70% of
the area of the District are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel
parking lots, or other similar structures; 20% of the buildings are structurally
Resolution 14-6 - Continued November 12, 2014
substandard; and 30% of the other buildings require substantial renovation or
clearance to remove existing conditions, such as inadequate street layout,
incompatible uses or land use relationships, overcrowding of buildings on the land,
excessive dwelling unit density, obsolete buildings not suitable for improvement or
conversion, or other identified hazards to the health, safety, and general well-being
of the City. The foregoing conditions are reasonably distributed throughout the
geographic area of the District. Therefore, the Distriet qualifies as a "renewal and
renovation district" within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174,
subdivision 10a.
(b) The private redevelopment proposed to be encouraged in the
Redevelopment Project pursuant to the proposed Project Plan would not, in the
opinion of the Authority, reasonably be expected to occur solely through private
investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and, therefore, the use of tax
increment financing is deemed necessary. Furthermore, in the opinion of the
Authority, the increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected
to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase
in the market value estimated to result from the proposed development after
subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum
duration of the District permitted by the Amended Financing Plan. The studies and
analyses supporting these findings are identified in the Amended Financing Plan.
(c) The Amended Financing Plan conforms to the general plan for the
development or redevelopment of the City as a whole. The redevelopment activities
are compatible with the City's zoning ordinances and other related regulations and
encourage efficient use of existing infrastructure as set forth in the City's Land Use
Plan.
(d) The Amended Financing Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent
with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment
of the District by private enterprise. The redevelopment activities contemplated in the
Project Plan would help to retard blight in the Redevelopment Project and provide an
increase in employment and housing opportunities in the City and enhance the tax
base of the City and overlapping taxing jurisdictions.
Section 3. Transmittal. The Authority does hereby transmit fhe Amended Financing
Plan to the City Council for approval after the same have been considered by the City
Council subsequent to the Public Hearing.
Section 4. Filin . Following approval by the City Council, the Secretary is hereby
authorized and directed to file the Amended Financing Plan with the Commissioner of
Revenue and the Office of the State Auditor as required by Minnesota Statutes, Section
469.175, subdivision 4a.
Resolution 14-6 - Continued November 12, 2014
