RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR DOUGLAS DRIVE
CORRIDOR REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA
BE IT RESOLVED by Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City of Golden
Valley, Minnesota (the "Authority"), as follows:
1. Proiect Plan Review. The Authority has reviewed the Redevelopment Plan (the
"Project Plan") for the Douglas Drive Corridor Redevelopment Project Area (the
"Redevelopment Project"), which is attached hereto as ExhibitA.
2. Adoption. The Project Plan is hereby adopted, subject to approval by the
Planning Commission and the City Council as provided in Section 4, based on the findings
in Section 3 hereof
3. Findinqs for Approval of Proiect Plan. The Authority hereby makes the following
findings:
3.01. The Project Plan proposes 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 could 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.
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.
4. Transmittal. The Authority does hereby transmit the Project Plan to the Golden
Valley Planning Commission to affirm the findings of the Authority in Section 3.04, and to
Golden Valley City Council for approval after the same has been considered by the Council
Resolution 08-03 continued
November 10,2008
subsequent to a public hearing to be held in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter
469.
5. Filing. Following approval by the City Council, the Director is hereby authorized
and directed to file the Project Plan with the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of
Revenue and the Office of the State Auditor pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section
469.175, subdivision 4a.
