RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
FINDING A PARCEL TO BE OCCUPIED BY A
STRUCTURALLY SUBSTANDARD BUILDING
WHEREAS, it has been proposed by the Board of Commissioners (the "Board") of the
Economic Development Authority (the "EDA") for the City of Columbia Heights (the "City")
that the EDA create a Tax Increment Financing District in an area within the City to be
designated a redevelopment district as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subd. 10;
and
WHEREAS, In order to create this type of Tax Increment Financing District, the EDA
must make a determination that before the demolition or removal of the substandard buildings,
certain conditions existed; and
WHEREAS, the conditions found by the EDA to exist throughout the proposed Tax
Increment Financing District are that parcels consisting of 70 percent of the area of the district
are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots, or other similar
structures and more than 50 percent of the buildings, not including outbuildings, are structurally
substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance; and
WHEREAS, in order to deem a parcel as being occupied by a structurally substandard
building, the EDA must first pass a resolution before the demolition or removal that the parcel
was occupied by one or more structurally substandard buildings and that after demolition and
clearance the EDA intended to include the parcel within the proposed Tax Increment Financing
District; and
WHEREAS, there exists in the City on each parcel or parcels described in Exhibit A
attached hereto (Collectively, the "Parcel") one or more structurally substandard buildings to be
demolished or removed (the "Substandard Building Condition"); and
WHEREAS, a parcel is deemed to be occupied by a structurally substandard building if
the Substandard Building Condition is met within three years of the filing of the request for
certification of the parcel as part of the Tax Increment Financing District with the county auditor;
and if certain other conditions are met.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of the EDA for the City that
15% of the area of the parcels identified in Exhibit A attached hereto contains improvements and
is occupied by one or more structurally substandard buildings and that after demolition and
clearance the City intends to include these parcels within the proposed Tax Increment Financing
District.
