Section 2. F~ndings for the Modification of ~he CBD Revitalization Plan for CBD Redevelopment Pro4ect. the Establishment of 53rd Avenue District an~ the ADuro%al of Tax Increment Financina Plan Related Thereto 2.01 The Council hereby finds that 53rd Avenue District is an economic development district under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, subd. 12. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 11, 1995 PAGE 6 2.02 The Council hereby finds that the modification of the CBD Revitalization Plan for CBD Redevelopment Project and the establishment of 53rd Avenue District and the approval of the Tax Increment Financing Plan relating thereto, are intended and, in the judgement of this Council, the effect of such actions will be, to provide an impetus for commercial and industrial development in the public purposes and accomplish certain objectives as specified in the Plans. 2.03 The Council further finds that the proposed development, in the opinion of the Council, would not occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and that the increased market value on 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 fromthe proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of 53rd Avenue permitted by the Plan, and that, therefore, the use of tax increment financing is deemed necessary~ that the plans conform to the general plan for the development or redevelopment of the City as a whole; and that the Plans will afford maximum opportunity consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development of 53rd Avenue Districtbyprivate enterprise. 2.04 The City elects to make a qualifying local contribution in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 273.1399, subd. 6(d), in order to qualify 53rd Avenue District for exemption from state aid losses set forth in Section 273.1399. The City anticipates that the State will contribute to project costs · within 53rd Avenue District through a district grant or similar incentives and thatthe City's local contribution will be reduced by one-half of this amount, in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 273.1399, subd. 6(d). 2.05 The Council further finds, declares and determines that the City made the above findings stated in Section 2 and has set forth the reasons and supporting facts for each determination in writing, attached hereto as Exhibit A. Section 3. ADDroval of the Plans 3.01 The modifications to the CBD Revitalization Plan for CBD Redevelopment Project and Tax Increment Financing Plan for 53rd Avenue District are hereby approved and adopted, and shall be placed on file in the office of the City Manager subject to approval by the Columbia Heights Housing and Redevelopment Authority.
