97-035 - 03-18 Approving Update to North Wirth Pkwy Redevelopment Plan Resolution 97-35 March 18, 1997 Member LeSuer introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION APPROVING AN UPDATE TO THE NORTH WIRTH PARKWAY REDEVELOPMENT PLAN WHEREAS, the City Council for the City of Golden Valley approved the original North Wirth Parkway Redevelopment Plan on September 18, 1978, a revision thereof on April 9, 1979, an amendment thereof on March 5, 1982 and an amendment thereof on February 16, 1988; and WHEREAS, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Golden Valley (the "HRA") has prepared an update to the North Wirth Parkway Redevelopment Plan (the "1997 Amendment"), which updates activities undertaken within the Project Area, future activities proposed to be undertaken and general cost estimates as to such future activities; and WHEREAS, the 1997 Amendment has heretofore been duly reviewed by the Planning Commission of the City and has been approved by the HRA; and WHEREAS, the City has held a public hearing on the 1997 Amendment after published notice as required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.028. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council confirms the following findings with respect to the North Wirth Parkway Redevelopment Plan, as amended to and including the 1997 Amendment (as so amended, the "Amended Redevelopment Plan"), to- wit: 1. The area included within the Amended Redevelopment Plan (the "Project Area") is a blighted area within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.001 to 469.047, inclusive, as more fully detailed in the discussions of initial land use characteristics in the Amended Redevelopment Plan. 2. The revitalization program heretofore undertaken and proposed to be taken with respect to the Project Area is necessary to eliminate and prevent the spread of blight. 3. As noted in the Amended Redevelopment Plan in the discussions of initial land use characteristics, the Project Area is subject to conditions preventing private development and it would not be available for redevelopment without the governmental assistance and financial aid heretofore made available and proposed to be made available by the Amended Redevelopment Plan. 4. The Amended Redevelopment Plan has afforded and will afford maximum opportunity for redevelopment by private enterprise, consistent with the sound needs of the locality as a whole. Resolution 97-35 - Continued March 18, 1997 5. The Amended Redevelopment Plan provides an outline for the redevelopment and rehabilitation of the Project Area and is sufficiently complete to indicate the relationship of the plan to the objectives of the City as to appropriate land uses within the Project Area and to indicate the general land uses and general standards for redevelopment or rehabilitation within the Project Area. 6. There is a feasible method for the relocation of families who may be displaced from the Project Area and there is available, or will be provided, decent, safe and sanitary dwelling units at least equal in number to the number of units displaced; the HRA will further provide, when appropriate, all relocation assistance and benefits required by federal and state law. 7. The objectives and purposes of the Amended Redevelopment Plan are consistent with the general land use proposals and planning objects established by the City in its Comprehensive Plan. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Golden Valley: 1. The 1997 Amendment to the North Wirth Parkway Redevelopment Plan is approved and the HRA may proceed in accordance with the Amended Redevelopment Plan. 2. The City Manager is directed to communicate the Council's approval of the 1997 Amendment to the HRA. � Mary E. erson, Mayor ATTEST: S irley J. on, City Clerk The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was seconded by Member Johnson and upon a vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: Anderson, Johnson, LeSuer, Micks and Russell; and the following voted against the same: none, whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted, signed by the Mayor and her signature attested by the City Clerk.
