The City of Maplewood (the "City ") has heretofore created Development District No. 1 and it has been proposed that the City modify the development program with respect thereto, and establish Housing .District Nos. 1 -4 and 1 -5 within Development District No. 1 and adopt Tax Increment Financing Plans with respect thereto under the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.124 to 469.134 and 469.174 to 469,179 collectively, the "Act ")* B. The City Council has investigated the facts and has caused to be prepared a Modified Development Program for Development District No. 1, and has caused to be prepared proposed Tax Increment Financing Plans for Housing District Nos. 1 -4 and 1 -5; and C. The City has performed all actions required by law to be performed _ pri.or to the creation of Housing District Nos. 1 -4 and 1 -5 and the adoption of the proposed Modified Development Program and the adoption of the Tax Increment Financing Plan relating thereto, including, but not limited to, notification of Ramsey county, Independent School District No. 622 and Special Intermediate School District No. 916 having taxing jurisdiction over the property to be included in Housing District Nos 1 -4 and 1-5, and the holding of a public hearing upon published and mailed ,notice as required by law. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Maplewood as follows. 1. Modified Development, Program The Modified Development Program for Development District No. 1, a copy of which is on file i n the office of the City Clerk, is adopted as the Modified Development Program for Development District No. 1. 2. Housing District Nos, 1-4 and 1-5 There is established in the City of Maplewood within Development District No. 1 Housing District Nos. 1 -4.and 1 -5, the initial boundaries of which are fixed and determined as described in the Tax Increment Financing P1 an s . 3. Tax Increment Financing Plan The Tax Increment Financing Plans are adopted as the tax increment financing plan for Housing District Nos. 1 -4 and 1 -5, and the City Council makes the following findings. a) Housing District Nos. 1 -4 and 1 -5 are housing districts as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, subd . 11, the specific basis for such determination being that the multifamily rental housing development to be undertaken by Care Free Cottages of Maplewood Limited Partnership consists of. a project, or a portion of a project, intended for occupancy, in part, by persons or families of low and moderate income, as defined in chapter 462A, Title II of the National Housing Act of 1934, the National Housing Act of 1959, the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended, Title V of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, any other similar present or future federal, state, or municipal legislation, or the regulations promulgated under any of those acts. 5 -24 -93 4 b) The proposed redevelopment in the opinion of the City. Council, would not occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and therefore the use of tax increment financing is deemed necessary. The reasons supporting this finding are that: Carefree Cottages of Maplewood Limited Partnership has represented to the City that they would not undertake the project in Maplewood without the City's use of tax increment financing. Private investment will not finance these development activities because of prohibitive costs. It is necessary to ,finance these development activities through the use of tax increment financing so that other development by private enterprise will occur within Development District No 1. c) The Tax Increment Financing Plans for Housing District Nos.. 1 -4 and 1 4"5 conform to the general plan for development or redevelopment of the City of Maplewood as a whole. The reasons supporting this finding are that: i) Housing District Nos. 1 -4 and 1 -5 are properly zoned; and ii) The Tax Increment financing Plans will generally compliment and serve to implement policies adopted in the City's comprehensive plan. d) The Tax Increment Financing Plans w i l l afford maximum opportunity, - consistent with the sound needs of the City of Maplewood as a whole., for the development or redevelopment of Development District No. l by private enterprise. The reasons supporting this finding are that: The development activities are necessary so that development and redevelopment by private enterprise can occur within Development District No. 1. 4. Public Purpose The Modified Development Program for Development District No. 1, and the adoption of the Tax Increment Financing Plans for Housing District Nos, 1 -4 and 1 -5 conforms in all respects to the requirements of the Act and will help fulfill a need to develop an area of the City which is already built up to provide employment opportunities to improve the tax base, and to improve the general economy of the State and thereby serves a public purpose. 5. Fi i n . The City Clerk is further authorized and directed to file a copy of the Modified Development Program and Tax Increment Financing Plans for Housing District Nos. 1 -4 and 1 -5 with the Commissioner of Revenue. 5 -24 -93 5 6. Administration. The administration of.Development District No. 1 is assigned to the City Clerk who shall from time to time be granted such powers and duties pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.130 and 469.131 as the City Council may deem appropriate.
