Financing Plan Review. The City has previously reviewed and approved the Redevelopment Plan (the "Project Plan") for the Highway 55 West Redevelopment Project Area (the "Redevelopment Project") and now has before it a Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "Financing Plan") for Tax Increment Financing (Renewal and Renovation) District No. 1 (the "District"). 2. Approval. The Financing Plan is hereby appraved, as provided in Section 4, based on the findings in Section 3 hereof. 3. Findin sq for Approval of the Financing Plan. The City hereby makes the following findings: 3.01. The Financing Plan provides the means to finance certain public redevelopment costs of the Redevelopment Project, including the redevelopment activities described in the Financing Plan that benefit the District. The Financing Plan contains a statemenfi of objectives for the improvement af the Redevelopment Proj�ct, a statement as to the development program for the District, and a statement of the property within the Redevelopment Project which the Authority intends to acquire. The Financing Plan also estimates the public redevelapment costs of the Redevelopment Project, the amount of bonded indebtedness to be incurred, the sources of revenues to finance or otherwise pay public costs of the District, the most recent net tax capacity of taxable real property within the District, the captured net tax capacity of the District at completion, and the duration of the District. The Financing Plan also describes and identifies the development activities to be undertaken or expected to be undertaken in the District and atl parcels to be included in the District. The Financing Plan further contains alternative estimates ofi the impact of the proposed tax increment financing on the net tax capacities of all taxing jurisdictions in which the District is located. All the captured tax capacity is necessary for the objectives of the District. 3.02. 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 districY' within the meaning of Section 469.174, subdivision 9. Based on the information in the 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 substandard; and 3Q% of the other Resolution 12-103 - Continued Qecember 18, 2012 buildings require substantial renovation or clearance to remove existing canditions, such as inadequate street layout, incompatible uses or land use relationships, overcrowding of buildings on the land, excessive dwelling unit density, obsolete buildings nat suitable for improvement or conversion, or other identified hazards to the health, safety, and general well-being af the City. The foregoing conditions are reasonably distributed throughout the geographic area af the District. Therefore, the District qualifies as a "renewal and reno- vation district" within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, subdivision 10a. 3.03. The private redevelapment proposed to be encouraged in the Redevelopment Project pursuant to the proposed Praject Plan would not, in the opinion of the City, 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 City, 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 subtraeting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of the District permitted by the Financing Plan. The studies and analyses supporting these findings are identified in the Financing Plan. 3.04. The Financing Plan conforms to the general plan for the development or redevelopment of the City as a whale. 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 as determined by the Planning Commission an November 26, 2012. 3.05. The 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 af the City and overlapping taxing jurisdictions. 4. Transmittal and Public Hearinq. The Financing Plan was transmitted to the Golden Valley Planning Commission to affirm the findings in Section 3.Q4, and to Hennepin County and School District 270 for review and comment, and a notice of public hearing published priar the December 18 public hearing, all in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 469. 5. Filinq. The Director is hereby authorized and directed to file the Financing Plan with the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department ofi Revenue and the Office of the State Auditor pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, subdivision 4a.
