RESQLUTION QF THE CITY OF GOLDEN VALLEY,
HENNEPIN COUNTY, MtNNESQTA
ADQPTING THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE HIGHWAY 55 WEST
REQEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA
BE IT RESOLVED by the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota (the "City"), as fallows:
1. Project Plan Review. The City has reviewed the Redevelopment Plan (the
"Project Plan") for the Highway 55 West Redevelopment Project Area (the "Redevelopment
Project") as approved by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority ("the Authority")
attached hereto.
2. Approval. The Project Plan is hereby approved, based on the findings in Section
3 hereof.
3. Findings for Approval of Pro1ect Plan. The City hereby makes the following
findings:
3.01. The Project Plan propases that the Authority undertake certain redevelopment
activities for the purpose of encouraging redevelopment of properties in the Redevelopment
Project.
3.02. The land in the Redevelopment Project would not be made available for
development without the financial aid to be sought since private developers cauld not
economically develop the Redevelopment Project without the proposed redevelopment
activities.
3.03. The Project Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the needs of
the City as a whole, for the 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.
3.04. The redevelopment activities proposed by the Project Plan conform 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 and has been so found by the City's Planning Commission on November
26, 2012.
3.05. The Project Plan provides an outline for the development or redevelopment of
the area and is sufficiently complete to indicate its relationship to definite local objectives as
to appropriate land uses and to indicate general land uses and general standards of
development or redevelopment.
