RESOLUTION MODIFYING THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT
REVITALIZATION PLAN FOR CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT
REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT, ESTABLISHING 53RD AVENUE TAX
INCREMENT DISTRICT AND APPROVING AND ADOPTING THE TAX
INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN RELATING THERETO,
LOCATED WITHIN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT
REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Be it resolved by the City Council (the "Council") of the City
of Columbia Heights, Minnesota (the "City"), as follows:
Section 1.
1.01 It has been proposed that the City modify the Central
Business District Revitalization Plan (the "CBD Revitalization
Plan") for Central Business District Redevelopment Project
(the "CBD Redevelopment Project"), and establish 53rd Avenue
Tax Increment District (the "53rd Avenue District") and
approve and adopt the Tax Increment Financing Plan relating
thereto, located within CBD Redevelopment Project, pursuant to
and in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.001
and 469.047, and Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 through
469.179, inclusive.
1.02 The Council has investigated the facts and has caused to
be prepared a Modified CBD Revitalization Plan for CBD
Redevelopment Project and the proposed Tax Increment Financing
Plan for 53rd Avenue District (the "Plans").
1.03 The City has performed all actions required by law prior
to the modification of CBD Redevelopment Project and the
establishment of 53rd Avenue District, and the adoption oft he
Plans relating thereto, including, but not limited to,
notification of Anoka County and Independent School District
No. 13 having taxing jurisdiction over the property to be
included in 53rd Avenue District, a review by the City
Planning Commission of the proposed Plan and the holding of a
public hearing upon notice as required by law.
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.
