6. Resolution Ratifying the Creation of Economic Development District No. 1-2
(Mall Addition and Main Street Store).
Resolution No. 89 - 12 - 214
WHEREAS:
A. On September28, 1987, the City of Maplewood adopted a
resolution which created, among other things, Economic Development
District No. 1-2 (the "Tax Increment District") within Development
District No. l and adopted a tax increment financing plan with respect
thereto under the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174
through 469.179 and Sections 469.124 through 469.134 (collectively the
"Act");
H. The City has performed all actions required by law to be
_ performed prior to the creation of the Tax Increment District and the
adoption of the proposed tax increment financing plan relating
thereto, including, but not limited to, notification of Ramsey County
and Independent School District No. 622 and Special Intermediate
School District No. 916 having taxing jurisdiction over the property
to be included in the Tax Increment District, and the holding of a
public hearing upon published and sailed notice as required by law.
NOW, THEREFORE, SE IT RESOLVED HY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
MAPLEWOOD, as follows:
1. Tax Increment District. There is hereby ratified the creation
of Economic Development District No. 1-2. The boundaries are as shown
on the attached Exhibit A incorporated herein by reference.
2. Tax Increment Financine Plan. The adopt ion. of the tax
increment financing plan ie hereby ratified, and the City Council
hereby rat ifiea the following findings:
(a,) Economic Development District No. 1-2 is an economic
development district as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section
469.174 the specific basis for such determination being:
Economic Development District No. 1-2 ie being created
so that the tax increments derived therefrom can be
used to fund the public improvements set forth in the
development program which will stimulate additional
development in Development District No. 1, thereby
creating new jobs and expanding the City's tax base.
(b) The proposed redevelopment in the opinion of the City,
Council, would not occur solely through private investment
3 12-28-89
_ _ j
within the reasonably foreseeable future and therefore the use
of tax increment financing is deemed aeccc~sary.
s
The reasons supporting this ffndiny are that:
The development activities within fevelopment District I~
No. 1 are to be financed by tax increment financing
are not financeable using traditionnz inethode of
municipal financing. Private inveat~a~nt will not
finance these development activities because of
prohibitive costa. It ie necessary to finance these
development activities through the use of tax
increment financing so that other ~tevei~~pment by
private enterprise will occur within Development
District No. 1.
(c) The tax increment financing plan for the Tax
Increment District conforms to the general glan for
development or redevelopment of the City of Maplewood ae a
whole.
i
The reaeona for supporting this finding are that:
(i) The Tax Increment District is properly zoned; ~~i
(ii) The tax increment financing plan will generally compliment and
serve to implement policies adopted in the City's comprehensive
plan.
(d) The tax increment financing plan will afford maximum
opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City of
Maplewood as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of
the Tax Increment District by private enterprise.
The reaeona supporting this finding are that: ~
i
ae previously stated, the development activities,
consisting of public improvement a, to be financed by
tax increment financing are necessary eo that addition
commercial development by private ertergriae can occur
within Development District No. 1.
