Agenda Item
2. A. Approval of Tax Increment Financing District, Liberty Crossing, and Tax Increment Financing
Plan
Prepared By
Marc Nevinski, Physical Development Director
Summary
The HRA is asked to consider approval of Tax Increment Financing (Redevelopment) District, Liberty
Crossing, within the Winnetka & Medicine Lake Road Redevelopment Project Area and the tax
increment financing plan. The district and project area are located at the southeast quadrant of
Winnetka Avenue and Medicine Lake Road. Intuitive Investment proposes to redevelop industrial
and commercial properties into multi-family housing in the form of an apartment building and
townhomes. Tax increment will help to fund infrastructure improvements in the area to reduce
flooding on Medicine Lake Road and in the DeCola Ponds sub-watershed district. LHB, Inc. has
inspected the properties proposed for inclusion in the district, documented their condition, and
found them to meet the "structurally substandard" and coverage ratio tests required for the
establishment of a redevelopment TIF district, which can run for up to 25 years. HRA staff and the
developer are currently discussing the design and configuration of the infrastructure, and the final
plan and development agreement will determine how the increment is allocated. The HRA will
review and consider the development agreement at a future date.
On July 14, 2015 staff informed the HRA of the project and the intent to begin the establishment of
a TIF district. The HRA also adopted at the same meeting Resolution 15-3 adopting Redevelopment
Plan for the Winnetka and Medicine Lake Road Redevelopment Project Area. On July 31, 2015 the
County and School district received the required impact letters. Public hearing notices were
published in the SunPost on August 20, 2015. On August 24, 2015 the Planning Commission adopted
Resolution 15-01 finding that the development was in conformance with the City's Comprehensive
plan. The project received final PUD approval from the City Council on July 21, 2015.

Section E Designation of Tax Increment Financing District as a
Redevelopment District
Redevelopment districts are a type of tax increment financing district in which one or more of the following conditions
exists and is reasonably distributed throughout the district:
(1) parcels comprising at least 70%of the area of the district are occupietl by buildings, streets, utilities, paved
or gravel parking lots, or other similar structures and more than 50% of the buildings, not including
outbuildings, are structurally substandard requiring substantial renovation or clearance. A parcel is deemed
SPRINGSTED Page 1
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
"occupied" if at least 15% of the area of the parcel contains buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel
parking lots;or other similar structures.
(2) the property consists of vacant, unused, underused, inappropriately used, or infrequently used railyards, rail
storage facilities,or excessive or vacated railroad right-of-ways;or
(3) tank facilities, or property whose immediately previous use was for tank facilities, as defined in section
115C.02,subdivision 15, if the tank facilities:
(i) have or had a capacity of more than 1,000,000 gallons;
(ii) are located adjacent to rail facilities;and
(iii) have been removed or are unused, underused, inappropriately used,or infrequently used.
(iv) A qualifying disaster area, as defined in subdivision 10b.
For districts consisting of two more noncontiguous areas, each area must individually qualify under the provisions
listed above, as well as the entire area must also qualify as a whole.
The TIF District qualifies as a redevelopment district in that it meets all of the criteria listed in(1)above. An executive
summary of a report prepared by LHB, Inc.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 City and is available to the
public upon request. The full report will be retained by the City for the life of the TIF District.
"Structurally substandard" is defined as buildings containing defects in structural elements or a combination of
deficiencies in essential utilities and facilities, light and ventilation, fire protection including adequate egress, layout
and condition of interior partitions,or similar factors which defects or deficiencies are of sufficient total significance to
justify substantial renovation or clearance. 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 builtling 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
tleterioration, or other similar reliable evidence. Written documentation of the findings and reasons why an interior
inspection was not conducted must be matle 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 financed 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 district,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.
At least 90 percent of the tax increment from a retlevelopment district must be used to finance the cost of correcting
conditions that allow designation as a retlevelopment district. These costs inclutle, but are not limited to, acquiring
properties containing structurally substandard buildings or improvements or hazardous substances, pollution, or
SPRINGSTED Page 2
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
contaminants, acquiring adjacent parcels necessary to provide a site of sufficient size to permit development,
demolition and rehabilitation of structures, clearing of land, removal of hazardous substances or remediation
necessary to develop the land, and installation of utilities, roads, sidewalks, and parking facilities for the site. The
allocated administrative expenses of the City may be included in the qualifying costs.
Section F Duration of the TIF District
Redevelopment districts may remain in existence 25 years from the tlate of receipt of the first tax increment. The
City anticipates that the TIF District will remain in existence the maximum duration allowed by law (projected to be
though the year 2043). Modification of this plan (see Section AA) shall not extend these limitations. All tax
increments from taxes payable in the year the TIF District is decertified shall be paid to the City. Pursuant to MN
Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 1(b),the City elects to delay receipt of first increment until 2017.
Section G Property to be Included in the TIF District
The TIF District is an approximately 10.86acre area of land located within the Development District. A map showing
the location of the TIF District within the Project Area is shown in Exhibit I. The boundaries and area encompassed
by the TIF District are describetl below:

Section H Property to be Acquired in the TIF District
The City may acquire and sell any or all of the property located within the TIF District; however, the City may
undertake the acquisition of property for the installation of public utilities within the TIF District.
Section I Specific Development Expected to Occur Within the TIF District
The proposed project includes the redevelopment of the existing Liberty Crossing site, into a 247-unit apartment and
townhome tlevelopment. The redevelopment will also include corresponding public improvements for stormwater
mitigation purposes,and other extraordinary costs associated with the redevelopment of the site.
The City anticipates using tax increment to reimburse the Developer for a portion of the TIF eligible project costs
occurred in the development of the Facility. Included in the projected eligible costs to be reimbursed are costs
associated with demolition of existing buildings, site work, public and private utility improvements including
stormwater management infrastructure, and other eligible improvements associated with the project. Additionally,the
City anticipates using tax increment to finance public improvements and site work on property located within the
Redevelopment Project Area, along with related administrative expenses.
Construction of the project is expected to begin in 2016,and be completed by 2017. The development is projected to
be 100%assessed and on the tax rolls as of January 2, 2018 for taxes payable in 2019.
At the time this document was prepared there were no signed construction contacts with regards to the above
described development.
Section J Findings and Need for Tax Increment Financing
In establishing the TIF District,the City makes the following fintlings:
(1) The TIF District qualifies as a redevelopment district;
See Section E of this document for the reasons and facts supporting this fintling.
(2) The proposed development, in the opinion of the City, would not reasonably be expected to occur
solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and the increased
market value of the site that could reasonably be expectetl to occur without the use of tax
increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from
the proposetl development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for
the maximum duration of the district permitted by the TIF Plan.
Factual basis:
Proposed development not expected to occur.�
The tlevelopment includes the construction of a 247-unit apartment and townhome development along with
public improvements for stormwater mitigation. A key component to the redevelopment is the reimbursement
of eligible expenses through tax increments. The Developer has indicated they would not undertake the
proposed development without the financial assistance. Without the assistance the City has no reason to
expect that significant reinvestment in the site would occur without assistance similar to that provided in this
plan. Therefore the City has no reason to believe the development would occur but-for the use of tax increment
assistance.
SPRINGSTED Page 4
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
To summarize the basis for the City's flndings regarding alternative market value, in accordance with Minnesota
Statutes,Section 469.175,Subd.3(d),the City makes the following determinations:
a. The City'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 (except for a small amount for annual
appreciation of land value)
b. If the proposed development to be assisted with tax increment occurs in the District,the total
increase in market value would be approximately$52,898,562, including the value of the building(See
Exhibit V).
c. The present value of tax increments from the District for the maximum duration of the tlistrict
permitted by the TIF Plan is estimated to be$8,954,046(See Exhibit V)
d. Even if some development other than the proposed development were to occur, the Council
fintls that no alternative would occur that would produce a market value increase greater than
$43,944,516(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 City as a
whole,for development of the TIF District by private enterprise.
Factual basis: The proposed tlevelopment is the construction of 247-unit apartment and townhome
redevelopment, in the Development District that is expected to create substantial new tax base for the City and
the state. The development clearly meets the City's housing and redevelopment goals of creating additional
housing;additionally,the development meets the agency's goal of the removal of blight.
(4) The TIF Plan conforms to general plans for development of the City 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.
(5) The City does not elect the method of tax increment computation set fo�th in Minnesota Statutes,
Section 469.177, Subdivision 3(b); therefore subdivision 3(a) shall apply which indicates the
original net tax capacity and the current net tax capacity shall be determined before the application
of the fiscal disparity provisions(see method(a)in Section P).
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.
TIF Bud et $7,913,693
Interest 9,193,746
Administrative Ex enses 1,900,824
Count Administrative Ex enses 44 321
Total $19,052,584
The City 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 estimated public cost is not increased. The City reserves the right to
spend available tax increment outside of the TIF District boundaries but within the Project Area.
SPRINGSTED Page 5
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
Section L Estimated Sources of Revenue
Tax Increment revenue Net of OSA Reduction $19,052,584
Interest on invested funtls 0
Bond roceeds 0
Loan roceeds 0
Grants 0
Other 0
Total $19,052,584
The City anticipates using future tax increments for reimbursement of public costs incurred from Section K. As
increments are collected from the TIF District in future years, a portion of these tax increments will be reserved by the
City as reimbursement for public costs incurred (primarily for public infrastructure improvements), either through
internal funding or general obligation or revenue debt. The City also reserves the ability to provide financial
assistance to the proposed development through the use of pay-as-you-go financing. With pay-as-you-go financing,
as tax increments are collected from the TIF District in future years, a portion of these tax increments, if utilized, will
be distributed to the developer as reimbursement for eligible costs incurred related to the redevelopment of the site.
The City 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 City
also reserves the right to use other sources of revenue legally applicable to the TIF District to pay for such costs
including, but not limitetl to,special assessments, utility revenues,federal or state funds, and investment income.
Section M Estimated Amount of Bonded Indebtedness
The City may consitler issuing tax increment bonds to finance all or a portion of the estimated public costs, and
reserves the right to issue such bonds in an amount not to exceed $19,052,584(total estimated public costs).
Section N Original Net 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 and December 31, inclusive,this value is based on the current assessment year.
The Authority intends to file the request for certification after to July 1, 2015. Therefore, the original net tax capacity
will be the net tax capacity as of January 2, 2015.
The Estimated Market Value of all property within the TIF District as of January 2, 2015,for taxes payable in 2016, is
$4,103,000, and is classified as commercial property. Upon redevelopment the site will be classified as rental
property. Therefore, the estimated tax capacity is $51,288, following the reclassification of the property to rental,
which is estimated to be the original net tax capacity of the TIF District.
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
SPRINGSTED Page 6
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Go/den Va/ley, Minnesota
. (4) changes in property classification rates.
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.
At the time this document was preparetl,the sum of all local tax rates that apply to the property in the TIF District,for
taxes levied in 2015 and payable in 2016, was not yet available. When this total becomes available, the County
Auditor shall certify this amount as the original tax capacity rate of the TIF District. For purposes of estimating tax
increment generated by the TIF District, the final local tax rates for taxes levied in 2014 and payable in 2015, is
144.811%as shown below.
2014/2015
Taxinq Jurisdiction Local Tax Rate
City of Golden Valley 54.626%
Hennepin County 46.398%
ISD#281 33.226%
Other 10.561%
Total 144.811%
Section P Projected Retained Captured Net Tax Capacity and
Projected Tax Increment
The City anticipates that development will be initiated in 2016, and completed in 2017 creating a total tax capacity for
the TIF District of $348,810 as of January 2, 2016. The captured tax capacity as of that tlate is estimated to be
$297,523 and the first-year of tax increment is estimated to be $430,845 payable in 2017. A complete schedule of
estimated tax increment from the TIF District is shown in Exhibit III.
The estimates shown in this TIF Plan assume that rental class rates will remain constant at 1.25%. The projections
also assume a 2%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 determined 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 protluct 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 City elects shall remain the same for the life of
the TIF District, except that a single change may be made at any time from method(a)to method (b) above. »The
City elects method(a),or M.S. Section 469.177, Subdivision 3(a).
SPRINGSTED Page 7
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Va/ley, Minnesota
The County Auditor shall certify to the City the amount of captured net tax capacity each year. The City may choose
to retain any or all of this amount. It is the City's intention to retain 100%of the captured net tax capacity of the TIF
District. Such amount shall be known as the retained capturetl 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.
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 auditing of tax increment financing information throughout the state. Exhibit III shows the
projected deduction for this purpose over the anticipatetl life of the TIF District.
The City has determined that it will use 100%of the remaining tax increment generated 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 antl 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 direct and primary benefit of a project
located within that county, unless both county boards involved waive this requirement. Tax increments shall not be
used to circumvent levy limitations applicable to the City.
Tax increment shall not be used to finance the acquisition, construction, renovation, operation, or maintenance of a
building to be usetl primarily and regularly for conducting the business of a municipality,county, school district,or any
other local unit of government or the State or fetleral government, or for a commons area used as a public park, or a
facility used 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 City shall use the excess tax increments to:
(1) prepay any outstantling tax increment bonds;
(2) discharge the pledge of tax increments thereof;
(3) pay amounts into an escrow account dedicated to the payment of the tax increment bonds;or
(4) return excess tax increments to the County Auditor for redistribution to the City, County and School
District. The County Auditor must report to the Commissioner of Education 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%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 outside of the TIF District but within the boundaries of
the Project Area, except to pay tlebt service on credit enhanced bonds. All administrative expenses are considered
to have been spent outside of the TIF District. Tax increments are considered to have been spent within the TIF
District if such amounts are: �
(1) actually paid to a thirtl party for activities performed within the TIF District within five years after
certification of the district;
(2) used to pay bonds that were issuetl and soltl 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 periotl or a reasonable
temporary period or are deposited in a reasonably required reserve or replacement funtl.
(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 obligatetl within the first five years. When outstanding
bonds have been defeased antl sufficient money has been set aside to pay for such contractual obligations, the TIF
District must be decertified.
The City anticipates that tax increments will be spent outside of the TIF District (including a portion for allowable
administrative expenses)for eligible redevelopment pooling expenditures.
Section T Limitation on Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses are defined as all costs of the City other than:
(1) amounts paid forthe purchase of land;
SPRINGSTED Page 9
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
(2) amounts paid for materials and services, including architectural antl 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 discount bontls issued
pursuant to section 469.178;or
(5) amounts used 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 paitl for services provided by bond counsel, fiscal consultants, planning or
economic development consultants, and actual costs incurred by the County in administering the TIF District. Tax
increments may be used to pay administrative expenses of the TIF District up to the lesser of(a) 10%of the total tax
increment expenditures authorized by the TIF Plan or(b) 10%of the total tax increments receivetl 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 City 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 City or owner of the parcel subsequently commences any of the
above activities, the City shall certify to the County Autlitor 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 City believes that
there will be no adverse impact on other taxing jurisdictions during the life of the TIF District, since the proposed
tlevelopment would 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
development 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, Subdivision 2,are listed below.
1. The total amount of tax increment that will be generated over the life of the TIF District is estimated to be
$19,052,584
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, and the impact of any general obligation tax increment
bonds attributable to the TIF 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 City, excluding that portion capturetl by the TIF
District.
SPRINGSTED Page 10
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Va/ley, Minnesota
3. The amount of tax increments over the life of the TIF District that would be attributable to School District
levies, assuming the School District's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing juristlictions remained the
same, is estimated to be$4,387,293.
4, The amount of tax increments over the life of the TIF District that would be attributable to County levies,
assuming the County's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing juristlictions remained the same is
estimated to be$6,126,576
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 TIF District by the net tax capacity of each improvement for which a building permit was issued.
There have been no building permits issued in the last 18 months in conjunction with any of the properties within the
TIF District.
Section X Development Agreements
If within a project containing a redevelopment district, more than 25%of the acreage of the property to be acquired
by the City is purchased with tax increment bonds proceeds (to which tax increment from the property is pledgetl),
then prior to such acquisition, the City must enter into an agreement for the development of the property. Such
agreement must provide recourse for the City should the development not be completed.
The City anticipates entering into an agreement for development, and may acquire property for the purposes of
undertaking public infrastructure and utility improvements within the TIF District.
Section Y Assessment Agreements
The City 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 Recorder of each county where the property is locatetl. Any modification or premature
termination of this agreement must first be approved by the City,County and School District.
The City does anticipate entering into an assessment agreements.
SPRINGSTED Page 11
Housing and Redeve/opment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
Section Z Modifications of the Tax Increment Financing Plan
Any reduction or enlargement in the geographic area of the Development District 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 retained by the City; increase in the total estimated public costs;or designation of
property to be acquiretl by the City 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 modification is elimination of parcels from the TIF District;and
(2) the current net tax capacity of the parcels eliminated equals or exceeds the net tax capacity of
those parcels in the TIF DistricYs original net tax capacity, or the City agrees that the TIF DistricYs
original net tax capacity will be reduced by no more than the current net tax capacity of the parcels
eliminated.
The City must notify the County Auditor of any modification that reduces or enlarges the geographic area of the TIF
District. The geographic area of the TIF District may be reduced but not enlarged after five years following the date
of certification.
Section AA Administration of the Tax Increment Financing Plan
Upon adoption of the TIF Plan, the City shall submit a copy of such plan to the Minnesota Department of Revenue
and the Office of the State Auditor. The City 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 City 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 City 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 City 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 retained 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 shoultl occur on an annual basis:
(1) prior to July 1,the City 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 Autlitor 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 received 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 certifietl 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 approved enlargement or reduction
of the TIF District;
SPRINGSTED Page 12
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota
(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 City 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 City 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 City will comply
with all reporting requirements for the TIF District under Minnesota Statutes,Section 469.175,subdivisions 5 and 6.

CONCLUSION
After inspecting and evaluating the properties within the proposed TIF District and applying current
statutor��criteria for a Redevelopment District under Minnesota Statutes, Section 4(9.174, Subdivision 10,
it is our professional opinion that the proposed TIF District qualifies as a Redevelopment District
because:
• The proposed TIF District has a coverage calculation of 100 percent which is above the 70
percent requirement.
• 100 percent of the buildings are structurall�- substandard which is abo�re the 50 percent
requirement.
• The substandard buildings are reasonabljr distributed.

Introduction
In the 1960's the area southeast of the intersection of Medicine Lake Road and Winnetka Avenue
North was developed with a variety low density commercial and industrial oriented uses. Overtime,
development patterns in the region have become more urban in form, real estate markets have
changed and development patterns have resulted in flooding in the area. Recently, encouraged by
interest from the private sector, the City of Golden Valley has taken the initiative to re-guide and
rezoned many of the parcels to accommodate new higher density residential land uses and address
the flooding issues in the area. �
This document serves as the Redevelopment Plan for the area, to be known as the Winnetka&
Medicine Lake Road Redevelopment Project. It defines the geographic area of proposed
improvements, outlines existing conditions, discusses anticipated redevelopment, and sets goals,
objectives and policies that will guide projects as they are implemented.
Project Area Boundaries
The Redevelopment Plan Project Area extends from Medicine Lake Road south to 23�d Avenue
North and from Winnetka Avenue east to the Canadian Pacific Railroad tracks. Parcels containing
DeCola Ponds A, B and C are also included in the Project Area.The map in Exhibit A illustrates the
boundaries of Project Area which includes private parcels and public lands and rights of way.The
Project Area matches the boundaries of a proposed tax increment financing redevelopment project
area where up to twenty five percent of the TIF proceeds could be spent, most likely for
infrastructure improvements.
Background
The Project Area was originally low lands. Aerial photographs from 1945 show wetlands and
agricultural land uses.The area began to develop in the 1960's with low density commercial and
industrial uses. Wetlands were filled and portions of the area remained low. Overtime, the existing
development has trended towards obsolesce and investment in the buildings has diminished. A
recent study by LHB Inc.found a number of buildings to be "substandard" under Minnesota TIF
statutes. Currently the area includes a small auto repair shop, two restaurants (a walk-up and a sit
down style), a multi-tenant building owned by the local VFW club, a small car wash, a newly
developed drug store, a vacant industrial building, and self-storage facility.The east side of the
Project Area includes a multi-family housing development and Pennsylvania Park, which includes
two flood storage ponds.To the south, is an additional pond and a single family neighborhood.
Flooding in the area is common, although it is not in a federally mapped flood plain. A study is
currently nearing completion that will document the cause of the flooding and identify specific
measures to reduce the flooding in the area by creating more flood storage. A proposed multi-
family development project provides an opportunity to construct and fund additional flood storage
in the area.
3
Redevelopment Opportunities
In early 2015, a developer proposed redeveloping four parcels within the Project Area with
townhomes and a large apartment building. If completed, the redevelopment would utilize
approximately fifty percent of the land within the Project Area. Other redevelopment opportunities
may emerge over time on small individual parcels or a combination of parcels within the Project
Area.
Public Improvements
Public improvements proposed for the Project Area include the development of additional flood storage
to reduce flooding in the DeCola Ponds sub-watershed area and ensure that the Medicine Lake Road
and Winnetka Avenue intersection remain passable to emergency vehicles during a flood event. Flood
storage may include the construction of underground vaults,the creation of new open storage or the
expansion of existing open storage, and the construction of conveyance swale or pipe to move water at
a controlled rate through the area. Additionally, removal of some portions of Rhode Island Avenue
North may occur to reduce storm water runoff and provide flood storage and conveyance. Finally,trail
connections in the area, particularly from redeveloped areas to existing parkland.
Statement of Need and Public Purpose, Statutory Authorization
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) finds there is a need for development within the
City and the Project Area in order to provide housing opportunities,to improve the local tax base,
address public infrastructure needs, and to improve the general economy of the City and the State.
The economic security of residents depends upon proper development of property that meets any
one of a number of conditions, including properties with values too low to pay for the public
services required or rendered and properties where lack of use or improper use has resulted in
stagnant or unproductive land that could otherwise contribute to the public health, safety, and
welfare.
The HRA finds that in many cases, such property cannot be developed without public participation
and assistance in various forms, including property acquisition and/or write-down; proper planning;
the financing of development costs associated with clearance, grading, and soils correction; and
various other public and private improvements necessary for development. In cases where the
development of property cannot be done by private enterprise alone, the HRA believes it to be in
the public interest to consider the exercise of its powers, to advance and spend public money, and
to provide the means and impetus for such development.
The HRA finds that in certain cases, property within the Project Area would or may not be available
for development without the specific financial aid to be sought, that the Redevelopment Plan will
afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the needs of the City as a whole, for the development
of the Project Area by private enterprise, and that the Redevelopment Plan conforms to the general
plan for the development of the City as a whole.
Statement of Objectives
The HRA seeks to achieve one or more of the following objectives with respect to the Project Area,
as the Authority may deem appropriate and necessary:
4
• Promote and secure the prompt development of property within the Project Area, such
property which is not now in its most productive use, in a manner consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan of the City,thus realizing Comprehensive Plan land use, and tax base goals.
• Assist development in the Project Area through the acquisition or write-down of certain interest
in property which is not now in productive use or in its highest and best use, to make or defray
the cost of soil corrections or site improvements on said property, and to construct or
reimburse for the construction of public improvements and other facilities on or for the benefit
of said property and the public, thereby promoting and securing the development of other land
within the Project Area.
• Secure the increase and availability of rental housing property for individuals and families of low
to moderate income within the Project Area.
• Secure the increase of industrial and commercial property subject to taxation within the Project
Area.
• Promote and secure additional employment opportunities within the City and to prevent the
loss of existing employment opportunities, thereby preventing the loss of valuable human
resources.
• To provide funding for an ongoing development strategy and to prioritize the use of available
resources.
• Implement and revise from time to time, as may be deemed necessary or desirable, a
consolidated and unified Redevelopment Plan and to finance the associated development costs
on an area-wide basis.
• Employ any of the powers of the Authority for the benefit of the Project Area in such cases and
upon such terms as the Authority may deem appropriate.
• Construct or acquire facilities deemed desirable for the development of the Project Area.
Itemized Goals and Objectives
To achieve its mission of structured redevelopment,this Plan has identified the following goals with
related objectives for this Project Area to encourage cohesive planning and structured renewal within
the area. It then outlines policies that will help to achieve the goals and objectives.
Goal 1— Redevelop obsolete properties
Objectives:
• Redevelop blighted, functionally obsolete and/or economically unsustainable buildings.
• Establish new uses compatible with existing uses.
• Spur reinvestment in the broader area through new development and an expanded market.
5
Goal 2—Create additional flood storage in the DeCola Ponds sub-watershed
Objectives:
• Use redevelopment to create and fund the construction of additional flood storage in the
Project Area.
• Ensure new development, at a minimum, does not reduce existing flood storage.
• Minimize the impact of flooding on private properties and structures.
Goal 3— Expand housing opportunities
Objectives:
• Increase housing choices and options within Golden Valley.
• Promote quality, sustainable and green construction and development.
• Require amenities as part of new development that improve quality of life for residents.
Goal 4— Protect the environment
Objectives:
• Ensure wetlands are protected and enhanced.
• Reduce or eliminate soil and wetland contamination.
• Preserve quality vegetation and reduce or eliminate invasive or disease-susceptible species.
Goal 5— Maintain a regional framework
Objectives:
• Plan for growth compatible with the Metropolitan Council development framework.
• Design public infrastructure in cooperation with other public agencies.
• Participate in grant programs available through Hennepin County, the Metropolitan Council and
other agencies.
• Develop and maintain positive relationships with surrounding communities and governmental
agencies.
• Continue participation in cooperative traffic management strategies.
• Improve transit options.
Policies
Land Use

and/or options for alternative uses.
6
Land use plans will promote mixed use developments and increased density where appropriate, in
keeping with the Metropolitan Council's regional growth strategy.
Financing
The City and HRA will identify criteria to target redevelopment funds such as tax increment financing,
tax abatements, Livable Communities, Community Development Block Grants, Hennepin County and
other funding made available by the Legislature,other agencies or governmental units.
The City and HRA will consider providing public assistance to redevelopment projects that serve a
substantial public purpose, remove blight, or mitigate contamination.
The City and HRA will consider using land write-downs to subsidize redevelopment projects.
Redevelopment funding will be paired with other funding options such as assessments based on the
Golden Valley Special Assessment Policy.
The City will consider franchise fees and utility surcharges to underwrite the cost of utility and
infrastructure upgrades.
