RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE DOUGLAS DRIVE CORRIDOR REDEVELOPMENT
PROJECT AREA AND APPROVING THE PLAN THEREFOR
BE tT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota (the
"City"), as follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
1.01. The Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden Valley,
Minnesota (the "Authority"), pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.001 to 469.047,
as amended, has prepared and presented to the City for approval, a redevelopment plan,
as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.002, subdivision 16, designated as the
Project Plan (the "Project Plan") for the Douglas Drive Corridor Redevelopment Project
Area (the "Redevelopment Project Area").
1.02. The Project Plan has been transmitted to the planning agency of the City,
which has determined that the Project Plan conforms to the general plan for the
development of the City. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.028, the approval of
the Project Plan is for the consideration of this Council. On July 6, 2010, this Council
conducted a public hearing on the desirability of approving the Project Plan. Notice of the
public hearing was duly published as required by law in the official newspaper of the City
on June 24, 2010.
Section 2. Approval of Proiect Plan. On the basis of the proposed Project Plan
adopted by the Authority and the information elicited from consultation with the planning
agency and at the public hearing referenced above:
2.01. The Project Plan proposes that the Authority undertake certain redevelopment
activities for the purpose of encouraging redevelopment of properties in the Redevelopment
Project Area. The Council hereby finds that the proposed Project Plan would improve the
Redevelopment Project Area by retarding blight and encouraging private redevelopment of
property therein, thereby increasing employment and housing opportunities and the tax
base of the City and overlapping taxing jurisdictions.
2.02. This Council hereby finds that in certain cases the land in the Redevelopment
Project Area would not or may not be made available without the financial aid sought since
private developers could not economically develop the Redevelopment Project Area
without the proposed redevelopment activities.
2.03. This Council hereby finds that the Project Plan will afford maximum
opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development of
the Redevelopment Project Area by private enterprise.
Resolution 10-39 -Continued
July 6, 2010
2.04. This Council hereby finds that the Project Plan conforms to the general plan
for the development or redevelopment of the City as a whole and is compatible with the
City's zoning ordinances and other related regulations and encourages efficient use of
existing infrastructure as set forth in the City's Land Use Plan. It is in the best interests of
the City to approve the Project Plan.
2.05. Upon review of the Project Plan, the information elicited from the planning
agency and at the public hearing, and on the basis of the findings made in Sections 2.01 to
2.04 hereof, this Council hereby approves the Project Plan.
