Case: #94 -CUP -4 Date: June 28, 1994
GENERAL INFORMATION
Petitioner: Hope Presbyterian Church
Location' 7132 Portland Avenue South
Type of Request: Conditional Use Permit to allow an intermittent homeless shelter as
an accessory use.
Zoning: R- residential
Land Use: Church
Comp. Plan: Institutional
ACTION
Proposed Change: Approval of the conditional use permit would allow Hope Presbyterian
Church to join the Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN), which provides
shelter to those in crisis situations for one week each quarter of the year.
Staff
Recommendation: Approve the conditional use permit request with stipulations.
HISTORY
Public Notice: Notice of the- Planning Commission's consideration and public hearing was
mailed to all property owners within 350 feet of the subject property.
Public Hearing: The Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing on June 28, 1994.
City Council: On June 13, 1994, Council reviewed the proposed use and determined that
it is subject to a conditional use permit.
Planning Commission action would set a City Council public hearing date of
July 11, 1994.
ANALYSIS
Proposal: Hope Presbyterian Church, 7132 Portland Avenue, is proposing to join the
Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN). The IHN is a program in which
churches and synagogues host homeless families for one week each quarter
of the year. The Program provides shelter and.a secure environment for
those in crisis situations, as opposed to chronically homeless. In addition,
the Program does not serve those actively abusing drugs or alcohol, those
with severe mental illness, or those fleeing physical abuse. Social service
agencies screen the families before referring them to the IHN.
Issues: The families would be housed in classrooms of Hope Presbyterian's school
addition, with only one family per room. There would be up to 16 people
at a time. The stay would be from Sunday to Sunday. During weekdays,
families would be at the Church from about 6:00 p.m to 7:00 a.m. the
following day. Days would be spent either at work, school, the activity
center, or looking for permanent housing. While at the Church, families
Would have use of the Church facilities including the gym, showers, and
courtyard. The Church would also provide meals for the families during
their stay.
The facility has been inspected by the Building, Fire, and Health Divisions.
A few minor building improvements would be required to ensure the safety
of the families in the IHN Program.
Churches are permitted principal uses in the "R" district. Accessory
homeless shelters within churches, however, are determined by Council to
require a conditional use permit.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommended
Action:
Preferred: Recommend that the City Council approve the conditional use permit to
allow Hope Presbyterian Church to operate an intermittent homeless shelter
Interfaith Hospitality Network) with the following stipulations:
1. That the shelter be limited to operate no more than one week during
each three month period (maximum four weeks per year).
2. That no more than 16 persons be served by the shelter at one time.
3. That the shelter not serve those actively abusing drugs or alcohol, those
with severe mental illness, or those fleeing physical abuse.
4. That meals for those served by the shelter be prepared on -site.
5. That all building, fire, and health codes be met prior to operation.
Basis" " 1. The shelter would provide secure housing on a short term basis for those
in crisis situations.
2. It appears the shelter would not impose adverse impacts on the
neighborhood or the City as a whole.
3. Minor building improvements (e.g., hard wired smoke detectors) are
required prior to operation.
Alternative: Recommend that the City Council deny the conditional use permit with a
finding of fact that the proposed use would have an adverse impact on
surrounding properties or the City as a whole.

Zonine Code: Sections 530.29 and 530.41 regulate the PUD amendment process.
ACTION
Proposed Change: Installation of balcony screening enclosures for those condominium owners
who want it.
Staff
Recommendation: Approve the amendment to the final development plan and conditional use
permit for Lake Shore Drive Condominiums with stipulations.
HISTORY
Public Notice: Notice of the Planning Commission's consideration and public hearing was
mailed to all property owners within 350 feet of the subject property.
Public Hearing: The Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing on June 28, 1994.
City Council: Planning Commission action would set a City Council public hearing date of
July 11, 1994.
ANALYSIS
Proposal: Lake Shore Drive Condominium Association is requesting to amend their
approved site plan to allow screening of balconies for those owners who
want it. About 10 owners are currently interested in having the screens
installed.. Blanket approval is being requested, however, to allow all owners
the option to screen their balconies without further PUD review.
Last summer, the Planning Commission reviewed and approved a similar
request from Woodlake Point Condominiums, 6500 Woodlake Drive. As a
result of the success of the Woodlake Point project, Lake Shore Drive
owners are requesting balcony screening as a means to improve their.
building.
The condominium owners believe screening will make their balconies more
functional and enjoyable, eliminating pigeon and insect problems.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommended
Action:
Preferred: Recommend that the City Council approve the amended final development
plan and conditional use permit to allow installation of balcony screening
enclosures for those owners who want them, with the following stipulations:
1. That all screens comply with the specific installation criteria, as outlined
in the application.
2. That blinds, drapes, shades, or other similar items not be hung on the
screens.
8aSiS: 1. The screening enclosures would help to solve pigeon and insect
problems, making balconies more functional and enjoyable .
2. The screening enclosures are designed to be identical looking and of
high quality materials so they do not compromise the visual appearance
of the building. The screening and frame would be mounted inside the
balcony railing to maintain the rhythm of the facade.
3. The frame for the screening enclosure would be constructed of bronze
colored anodized aluminum to match the existing window frames.
4. The frame would be rigidly attached to the balcony floor and would
provide drain holes to dispose of trapped water.
5. The screens would not be operable, however, they would be removable
with special tools.
6. The black fiberglass screening material would be tightly knit to prevent
as much snow sift as possible.
7. Blanket approval would allow additional units to be screened in the
future without further PUD review, however, all individual screening
enclosures would require a building permit from the City prior to
installation.
Alternative: Recommend that the City Council deny the request with a finding of fact
that the proposal would have an adverse impact on surrounding properties or
the City as a whole.

City Council: A public hearing is scheduled for July 25, 1994.
ANALYSIS
Issues: All sites identified in the Plans are presently zoned and used for single

City of Richfield (the "HRA ") and the City of Richfield (the "City ") to provide families and
individuals living in a substandard, poor quality environment an opportunity to move to standard
housing by establishing a cash market for their existing housing and to provide an opportunity for
Richfield to house families seeking larger housing units with features popular in today's market;
and
WHEREAS, this type of housing would encourage existing residents seeking this type of
housing to remain in Richfield and attract new residents as well; and
WHEREAS, in order to realize these objectives, certain plans have been prepared for the
HRA with the cooperation and assistance of the appropriate city departments, planning
consultants, and fiscal consultants, all arising from an April 18, 1994 HRA directive and
endorsement to proceed with the Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program (the "Housing
Program "); and
WHEREAS, in April, 1994 additional funds were provided to continue this Housing
Program; and
WHEREAS, on June 20, 1994, the HRA determined that certain modifications were
necessary to the previously approved and created Redevelopment Project Area A and

development, redevelopment, and new construction of single family residential housing within
Redevelopment Project Area "A" (Project Area "A ") and Redevelopment Project Area "B"
Project Area "B ") (collectively, the "Project Areas "), the HRA has prepared and approved
Modification No. 3 to the Redevelopment Plans for Project Area "A" and Project Area "B ", made
modifications to Tax Increment District A -2 and B -2, and approved the establishment of a new
Tax Increment Financing District A -3 and Tax Increment Financing B -3'in Tax Increment
Financing Plans for Tax Increment Financing District A -3 (Tax Increment District "A -3") and Tax
Increment Financing District B -3 (Tax Increment District "B -2 ") (collectively, the "Plans ")
pursuant to Minn. Stat. Sec. 469.001 - 469.047 (the "HRA Act ") and Minn. Stat. Sec. 469.174 -

City of Richfield (the "Planning Commission ") for its review, and has requested the written
opinion of the Planning Commission on the Plans, all pursuant to the TIF Act; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has now reviewed and considered said Plans of
the Housing Program and Tax Increment Financing Plans.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the City Planning Commission having
reviewed and considered the Plans, the Planning Commission, by this resolution, advises the City
Council, the HRA and all interested persons, that it is the opinion of the Planning Commission
that:
1. ' The Plans provide an outline for the development, redevelopment, and new
construction of the single family residential homes within the Project Areas and are sufficiently
complete to indicate the relationship of the Plans to the objectives of the City of Richfield as to
appropriate land use within the Project Areas, and to indicate the general land uses and general
standards of development, redevelopment, and new construction within the Project Areas.
2. The objectives and purposes of the Plans, specifically the recommendation to
continue single family residential use within the context of the expanded Housing Program,
conform to and are consistent with the general land use proposals and planning objectives of the
City of Richfield's Comprehensive Plan.
3. The Planning Commission recommends the City Council hold public hearings to
adopt and implement the Plans.
Passed this 28th day of June, 1994 by the Planning Commission of the City of Richfield,

NOTE TO READER
The Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program (the "Housing Program ") is organized in
cycles based on HRA acquisition and redevelopment activities. The original housing program,
initially entitled the "Expanded New Home - Scattered Site Housing.Program ", established two
redevelopment project areas, Project Area A and Project Area B. Within each project area, tax
increment financing districts were created based on a list of properties which the HRA would
contemplate to acquire and redevelop for the Housing Program. An alpha- numeric organizational
system was implemented to the various tax increment districts and subsequent modifications.
Redevelopment project areas are represented by an alphabetical letter, either an "A" or "B ", while
tax increment financing districts are represented by an alpha- numeric combination. The
alphabetical component represents the geographical project area and it's numerical component
represents the cycle year for which a tax increment district was created. For example, "A -]" is
representative of the list of tax increment parcels within redevelopment project area A during the
first cycle year of the Housing Program. Subsequent'tax increment districts are be labeled as "A-
2" for the second cycle of parcels for the Housing Program, "A -3" for the third, and so on. This
also holds true for redevelopment project area B.
On June 14, 1993, the City Council approved the HRH's modification to the Housing
Program of 1992. The purpose of this modification was to establish one project area, the
Richfield Redevelopment Project Area, composed of various existing project areas and tax
increment districts. By doing so, the Richfield Redevelopment Project Area would serve as an
umbrella entity and provide greater efficiency in financing redevelopment activity costs while
including areas outside of the HRH's operating area. In order to maintain a numerical system to
the housing program's modifications, the June 14, 1993 modification is considered to be the
second major modification to this housing program. The text contained within the. following
modified housing program is, therefore, considered to be the modification. Goals and objectives
of the overall housing program remain the same. Substantive changes to the housing program
include the list of properties identified for acquisition and program implementation and a
boundary change for Redevelopment Project Area B.
The reader is encouraged to review the original housing program plans and modifications
located within the following reference plans:

1. Acquisition
As a means of comprehensively formulating Cycle III of the Richfield Rediscovered Housing
Program, HRA staff identified property for acquisition in two ways. The first involved
contacting and surveying residential property owners that have in the past expressed interest
in the voluntary sale of their property. The second involved property owners contacting the
HRA requesting that.their property be considered for the program. Properties that were
considered candidates for the program were then further evaluated for program eligibility and
inspected. The following properties are identified for acquisition under Cycle III of the
program:

Tax Increment Financing Plan
for
Tax Increment Redevelopment District "A -3"
A. Statutory Authority
The statutory authority for the undertaking of a tax increment financing district (TIF
District "A -3 ") and related Tax Increment Financing Plan (Tax Increment Plan) in Redevelopment
Project Area "A" (Project Area "A ") for the Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program (Housing
Program) and the activities proposed in the tax increment plan relating thereto is conferred upon
the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Richfield, Minnesota (HRA),
pursuant to and in accordance with the Tax Increment Financing Act, Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174
to 469.179, inclusive, as amended.
B. Statement of Objectives
The HRA and the City continue to seek and affirm the goals and objectives set forth in
Part I of the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area "A ", dated July 16, 1990 as
well as additional program objectives set forth in HRA Letter No. 13, dated April 20, 1992.
C. ' Development Program
1. Description of Development Activities
As with previous cycles of the housing program and so with Cycle III, a
comprehensive, integrated approach for acquisition, site clearance, and new
construction will continue to be provided through program guidelines. The HRA will
assist prospective developers, builders, and buyers with development, redevelopment,
new construction, and other related activities within the context of the modified
Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area "A ", this Tax Increment Plan,
and other related guidelines.
2. Development Activities Covered by Contract
At this writing, early negotiations for property acquisitions are proceeding between
HRA staff and owners by two, Cycle III properties located in TIF District "A -3 ".. Any
and all development contracts which may arise in the interim processing period of
these plans, both modified and new, will be contingent upon HRA Board and City
Council approval.
A -3 -1
3. Other Development Not Under Contract Reasonably Expected to Occur in the
Pr" oiect.
Proposals from prospective developers, builders, and buyers will be required to be
submitted to the HRA as part of the review process.
The following activities may be expected to occur:
I . Property Acquisition;
2. On -site clearance;
3. On -site improvements;
4. New construction;
5. Remedial site environmental activities; and
6. Adjacent public improvements and utilities which service site.
For Cycle III of the Housing Program, a total of 38 properties have been identified for
program participation and acquisition. Twenty -two (22) of the properties are located
within Redevelopment Project Area "A" while the remaining sixteen (16) are within
Redevelopment Project Area 'B ". (Refer to Appendix A for map of Redevelopment
Project Areas and tax increment parcels.) Redevelopment Project Area A and B each
contain one (1) property with a double lot. Property subdivisions will be required for
both lots in order to construct two homes on each site. Initial construction for Cycle
III is anticipated to begin in the last quarter of 1994. Construction for each home is
anticipated to be approximately 150 days. Timing of construction is contingent upon
favorable market conditions, reasonable time period for processing applications and
availability of funding revenue.
D. Description of Property in the Tax Increment Financing District
Property located within TIF District "A -3" is identified in Appendix B.
E. Classification of the Tax Increment Financing District
The Richfield HRA and City Council, in determining the need for a tax increment
financing district in accordance with Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174 to 469.179, inclusive, as amended,
find that Tax Increment District "A -3" to be established within Project Area "A" is a
redevelopment tax increment financing district as defined in Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174, subd. 10.
Since the tax increment parcels within the scattered site program are non - contiguous, each
parcel has been examined by staff against the statutory definitions of structurally substandard and
other blight definitions. Each structure has qualified under Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174, subd. 10.
Thus, the tax increment financing district meets the requirements of a redevelopment tax
increment financing district.
A -3 -2
A detailed account of property examination for eligibility are enumerated within a
document entitled "Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program: Blight Qualification Survey - Cycle
III" which will be on file at City Hall, Community Development Department, Housing and
Redevelopment Division, for the duration of the tax increment district's life.
F. Parcels in Acquisition
The following property has been identified for acquisition in Cycle III of the Housing
Program:

Property moved from Cycle II acquisition list to the Cycle III acquisition list.
Double Lot.
The tax increment district budget includes acquisition costs for land sale subsidy which
will be offered to eligible developers, builders, and buyers as development incentives.
G. Estimate of Costs
The estimate of public costs associated with the tax increment district are outlined in the
budget listed in Appendix D.
A -3 -3
H. Estimated Amount of Obligated Funds
At the current time, an additional $700,000 of program revenue is available under Cycle
III to continue the housing program.
An estimate of the amount of bonded indebtedness for redevelopment is expected to be
0. The term of the issues is 0 years including 0 years of capitalized interest with an anticipated
taxable interest rate of 0 %. The amount of capitalized interest is estimated to be $0.
I. Sources of Revenue
The primary source of revenue to be used to finance public costs associated with proposed
developments in the redevelopment project area is an allocation from the development account.
In addition to this allocation, other sources of revenue potentially available to the HRA and City
may be utilized.
J. Original Tax Capacity
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.175, subd. l and Sec. 469.177, subd. 1, the Original Net
Tax Capacity (OTC) for TIF District "A =3" is based on the January 2, 1992 assessed value placed
on the property by the county assessor. The OTC for the district is $14,523. (See Appendix B,
Property Located in Tax Increment Financing District "A -3 ".) Each year the office of the county
auditor will measure the amount of increase or decrease in the total net tax capacity of the tax
increment district to calculate the tax increment payable to the redevelopment district fund. In
any year in which there is an increase in total net tax capacity in the tax increment district above
the original net tax capacity, a tax increment will be payable. In any year in which the total net tax
capacity in the tax increment district declines below the original net tax capacity, no tax capacity
will be captured and no tax increment will be payable.
The county auditor shall certify in each year after the date the original net tax capacity was
certified, the amount the OTC has increase or decreased as a result of
1. Change in tax exempt status of property;
2. Reduction or enlargement of the geographic boundaries of the district; or
3. Change due to stipulations, adjustments, negotiated or court- ordered abatements.
K. Estimated Captured Tax Capacity
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.175, Subd. 1 and Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.177, subd. 2, the
estimated captured net tax capacity (CTC) of Tax Increment District "A -3" is within a range of
314 to $1,709 per home. The total CTC for the 23 new homes to be located within
Redevelopment Project Area "A" ranges from $7,222 to $39,307. As a result of the
improvements to be constructed, it is expected that the estimated captured net tax capacity will be
available for the housing program. It is also anticipated that this amount will be captured not
more than 25 years. (See Appendix C, Estimate of Tax Increments.)
A -3 -4
L. Duration of the District
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sect. 469.176, subd. 1, the maximum duration of a
redevelopment tax increment district is 25 years. The HRA elects to capture 100% of the tax
increments for the duration of the district.
M. Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions
Refer to Appendix E, Estimate of Impacts on Other Taxing Jurisdictions.
N. Modifications of the Tax Increment Financing District
All tax increment plan modifications will be processed in accordance with Minn. Stat.,
Sec. 469.175, subd. 4.
The modifications pertaining to the necessary processing include any reduction or
enlargement of the geographic area of the project or tax increment financing district; increase in
amount of bonded indebtedness to be incurred, including a determination of capitalized interest on
debt if that determination was not a part of the original plan, or to increase or decrease the
amount of interest on the debt to be capitalized; increase in the portion of the captured tax
capacity to be retained by the BRA; increase in total estimated tax increment expenditures or
designation of additional property to be acquired by the HRA shall be approved upon the notice
and after the discussion, public hearing and findings required for approval of the original plan.
The geographic area of a tax increment district may be reduced, but shall not be enlarged after
five years following the date of certification of the original tax capacity by the County Auditor.
O. Limitation on Administrative Expenses
In accordance with Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174, subd. 14, and Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.176,
subd. 3, for districts for which certification was requested after June 30, 1982, no tax increment
shall be used to pay any administrative expenses for a project which exceed ten percent of the
total tax increment expenditures authorized by the tax increment financing plan or the total tax
increment expenditures for the project, whichever is less.
P. Limitation on Duration of Tax Increment Financing Districts
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.176, subd. 1, the HRA must issue bonds, or acquire
property, or construct or cause public improvements to be constructed within three years of the
date of certification of the tax increment district my the county auditor.
Q. Limitation on Qualification of Property in Tax Increment District Not Subject to
Improvement
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.176, subdivision 6, "if, after four years from the date of
certification of the original net tax capacity of the tax increment financing district..., no
A -3 -5
demolition, rehabilitation or renovation of property or other site preparation, including qualified
improvement of a street adjacent to a parcel but not installation of utility service including sewer
or water systems, has been commenced on a parcel located within a tax increment financing
district by the HRA or by the owner of the parcel in accordance with the tax increment financing
plan, no additional tax increment may be taken from that parcel, and the original net tax capacity
of the tax increment financing district. If the HRA or the owner of the parcel subsequently
commences demolition, rehabilitation or renovation or other site preparation on that parcel
including qualified improvement of a street adjacent to that parcel, in accordance with the tax
increment financing plan, the HRA shall certify to the county auditor that the activity has
commenced, and the county auditor shall certify the net tax capacity thereof most recently
certified by the commissioner of revenue and add it to the original net tax capacity of the tax
increment financing district."
R Limitation of the Use of Tax Increment
All revenues derived from tax increment shall be used in accordance with the tax
increment financing plan. The revenues shall be used to finance or otherwise pay public
redevelopment costs pursuant to Minn. Stat., 469.001 to 469.047, inclusive, as amended. These
revenues shall not be used to circumvent existing levy limit law. No revenues derived from tax
increment shall be used for the construction or renovation of a municipally owned building used
primarily and regularly for conducting the business of the municipality. This provision shall not
prohibit the use of revenues derived from tax increments for the construction or renovation of a
parking structure, a commons area used as a public park or a facility used for social, recreational
or conference purposes and not primarily for conducting the business of the municipality.
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.176, subd. 4j, at least 90 percent of the revenues derived
from tax increments from a redevelopment district must be used to finance the cost of correcting
conditions that allow designation of a redevelopment district under section 469.174. These costs
include acquiring properties containing structurally substandard buildings or improvements,
acquiring adjacent parcels necessary to provide a site of sufficient size to permit development,
demolition of structures, clearing of the land, and installation of utilities, roads, sidewalks, and
parking facilities for the site. The allocated administrative expenses of the authority may be
included in the qualifying costs.
S. Notification of Prior Planned Improvements
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.177, subd. 4, the HRA will review and search property
files for properties to be included in the tax increment district and to identify those properties for
which building permits have been issued during the 18 months immediately proceeding approval
of the tax increment financing plan by the City.
T. Excess Tax Increments
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.176, subd. 2, in any year in which the tax increment
exceeds the amount necessary to pay the costs authorized by the tax increment plan, including the
A -3 -6
amount necessary to cancel any tax levy as provided in Minn. Stat., Sec. 475.61, subd. 3, the
HRA shall use the excess amount to:
1. Prepay the outstanding bonds;
2. Discharge the pledge of tax increment therefor;
3. Pay into an escrow account dedicated to the payment of such bond;
4. Repay any loans including interest on these loans; or
5. Return the excess to the county auditor for redistribution to the respective taxing
jurisdictions in proportion to their tax capacity rates.
The amounts distributed to a city or county must be deducted from the levy limits of the
governmental unit for the following year. In calculating the levy limit base for later years, the
amount deducted must be treated as a local government aid payment.
For the purpose of this tax increment financing plan, excess tax increment means that
increment received in any year which is in addition to the amount needed to satisfy the HRA's
current financial obligations or commitments, as specified in the tax increment financing budget
listed in Appendix D, or which is in addition to that which is placed in a separate account for the
purpose of accumulating funds needed to satisfy those financial obligations or commitments in the
future.
U. Restrictions on Pooling; Five -Year Limit
given:
district:
In accordance with Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.1763, the following terms have the meanings
Activities" means acquisition of property, clearing of land, site preparation, soils
correction, removal of hazardous waste or pollution, installation of utilities, construction
of public or private improvements, and other similar activities, but only to the extent that
tax increment revenues may be spent for such purposes under other law. Activities do not
include allocated administrative expenses, but do include engineering, architectural, and
similar costs of the improvements in the district.
Third Party" means an entity other than (1) the person receiving the benefit of assistance
financed with tax increments, or.(2) the municipality or the development authority or other
person substantially. under the control of the municipality.
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.1763, subd. 2 with respect.to expenditures outside the
a) For each tax increment financing district, an amount equal to at least 75 percent of the
revenue derived from tax increments paid by properties in the district must be expended
on activities in the district or to pay bonds, to the extent that the proceeds of the bonds
were used to finance activities in the district or to pay, or secure payment of, debt service
on credit enhanced bonds. Not more than 25 percent of the revenue derived from tax
A -3 -7
increments paid by properties in the district may be expended, through a development fund
or otherwise, on activities outside of the district but within the defined geographic area of
the project except to pay, or secure payment of, debt service on credit enhanced bonds.
The revenue derived from tax increments for the district that are expended on costs under
section 469.176, subdivision 4h, paragraph (b), may be deducted first before calculating
the percentages that must be expended within and without the district.
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.173, subd. 3 with respect to the five -year rule:
a) Revenues derived from tax increments are considered to have been expended on an
activity within the district under subdivision 2 only if one of the following occurs:
1) before or within five years after certification of the district, the revenues are
actually paid to a third party with respect to the activity;
2) bonds, the proceeds of which must be used to finance the activity, are issued
and sold to a third party before or within five years after certification and the revenues are
spent to repay the bonds;
3) binding contracts with a third party are entered into for performance of the
activity before or within five years after certification of the district and the revenues are
spent under the contractual obligation, or
4) costs with respect to the activity are paid before or within five years after
certification of the district and the revenues are spent to reimburse a party for payment of
the costs.
b) For purposes of this subdivision, bonds include subsequent refunding bonds if one of
two tests is met: (1) the proceeds of the original refunded bonds were spent on activities
within five years after the district was certified or (2) the original refunded bonds are
issued within five years after the district was certified and the proceeds are expended on
activities within a reasonable temporary period within the meaning of the use of that term
under section 148(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.173, subd. 4 with respect to use of revenues for
decertification:
Beginning with the sixth year following certification of the district, .75 percent of the
revenues derived from tax increments paid by properties in the district that remain after
the expenditures permitted under subdivision 3 must be used only to pay outstanding
bonds, as defined in subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clause (2), and paragraph (b) or
contracts, as defined in subdivision 3, paragraph .(a), clauses (3) and (4). When the
outstanding bonds have been defeased and when sufficient money has been set aside to
pay contractual obligations as defined in subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clauses (3) and (4),
the district must be decertified and the pledge of tax increment discharged.
A -3 -8
V. Assessment Agreements
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.177, subd. 8, the HRA may enter into an agreement in
recordable form with a developer or redeveloper of property within the tax increment district
which establishes a minimum market value of the tax increment district. The assessment
agreement shall be presented to the county assessor who shall review the plans and specifications
for the improvements to be constructed, review the market value previously assigned to the land
upon which the improvements are to be constructed and so long as the minimum market value
contained in the assessment agreement appears in the judgment of the assessor, to be a reasonable
estimate, the assessor may certify the minimum market value agreement.
W. Administration of the Tax Increment District and Maintenance of the Tax
Increment Account
Administration of the tax increment district will be the responsibility of the Richfield
Housing and Redevelopment Authority.
The tax increment received as a result of increases in the net tax capacity of the tax
increment district will be maintained in a special account separate from all other HRA and
municipal accounts and expended only upon sanctioned activities identified in the tax increment
financing plan.
X. Annual Disclosure Requirements
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.175, subd. 6a, on or before March l of each year, the
HRA must annually report to the commissioner of revenue the following:
1. Total principal amount of nondefeased tax increment financing bonds that are
outstanding at the end of the previous calendar year; and
2. Total annual amount of principal and interest payments that are due for the current
calendar year on (i) general obligation tax increment financing bonds, and (ii) other tax
increment financing bonds.
Also in accordance with this requirement the HRA must annually report to the
commissioner of revenue the following amounts for the tax increment financing district:
1. Type of district;
2. Date on which the district is required to be decertified;
3. Captured net tax capacity of the district, by property class as specified by the
commissioner of revenue, for taxes payable in the current calendar year;
A -3 -9
4. Tax increment revenues for taxes payable in the current calendar year,
5. Whether the tax increment financing plan or other governing document permits
increment revenues to be expended (i) to pay bonds, the proceeds of which were or
may be expended on activities located outside of the district, (ii) for deposit into a
common fund from which money may be expended on activities located outside of the
district, or (iii) to otherwise finance activities located outside of the tax increment
financing district, and
6. Any additional information that the commissioner of revenue may require.
Y. Assumptions
It was necessary to make certain assumptions regarding income, costs and timing of the
tax increment financing district. These assumptions are based on discussions with the HRA, City,
and County staff, and consultants.
Z. Municipal Findings
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.175, subd. 3, before or at the time of approval of the tax
increment financing plan, the municipality shall make the following findings and shall set forth in
writing the reasons and supporting facts for each determination:
1. The Tax Increment Financing District is a redevelopment district pursuant to Minn.
Stat., Sec. 469.174, subd. 10. It has been determined that parcels consisting of 70
percent of the area of the district are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities or other
improvements and more than 50 percent of the buildings, not including outbuildings,
are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance.
Specifically, staff has examined each parcel against the statutory definitions of
structurally substandard and other blight definitions due to the non - contiguous nature
of the tax increment parcels. Each structure has qualified under Minn. Stat., Sec.
469.174, subd. 10. Thus, the tax increment financing district meets the requirements
of a redevelopment tax increment financing district. A detailed account of property
examination for eligibility are enumerated within a document entitled Richfield
Rediscovered Housing Program: Blight Qualification Survey - Cycle III" which will
be on file at City Hall,_Community Development Department, Housing and
Redevelopment Division , for the duration of the tax increment district's life.
2. The proposed activities listed in this plan, in the opinion of the ERA, would not
reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the
reasonably foreseeable future. Therefore, the use of tax increment financing is deemed
necessary since the proposed development requires certain necessary planning,
property assembly and other improvements without which interested developers,
builders, or buyers could not construct the aforementioned improvements; and without
A -3 -10
the use of tax increments or other revenues authorized by this plan to assist with the
financing of the activities, interested developers, builders, or buyers would not proceed
with redevelopment in the redevelopment project area.
3. The tax increment financing plan conforms to the general plan for the development of
the City as a whole as it will result in the continuation of the Richfield Rediscovered
Housing Program for the development, redevelopment, new construction and other
related improvements of residential homes for which there is limited sources of
revenue available.
4. The tax increment financing plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the
sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development by private enterprise as it will
enable the HRA to provide the necessary redevelopment for the project area and City,
as a whole, in a planning manner suitable to both the public and private sectors.

ESTIMATE OF IMPACTS ON OTHER
TAXING JURISDICTIONS
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT "A -3"
The purpose of analyzing impacts on taxing jurisdictions is to (a.) determine how tax increment
assistance provided to a proposed redevelopment project impacts taxing jurisdictions; (b.)
determine the level of impact as it relates to tax base, and (c) determine the amount of taxes a
taxing entity would need to levy in order to increase their respective tax base by the amount the
project brings in absent the project.
If the 'But For" test were not met, construction would not occur. That is, without the creation
and existence of the tax increment district, construction would not occur because the cost of
developing the proposed project by a private developer would be prohibitive. Acceptable rates of
return on project investment could not be met and risk would be too high. Development would
not move forward. Construction would not occur without the assistance of the city. In light of
this, the impact to taxing jurisdictions would be $0. Foregone would be the benefits of a new
construction project, increased overall tax base, and other project objectives. The estimated
impact of Tax Increment District "A -3" would be as follows if the project were built without tax
increment financing:
IMPACT ON TAX BASE
The following table .displays captured tax capacity when all construction is completed. The tax
rates and tax capacities are the payable 1994 figures for all jurisdictions. The potential taxes
column is the estimate of the amount of taxes each jurisdiction would theoretically have to raise if
the goal of taxing entities was to raise tax base equal to that of the project without constructing
the project.

G. Acquisition and Relocation Activities
1. Acquisition
As a means of comprehensively formulating Cycle III of the Richfield Rediscovered
Housing Program, HRA staff identified property for acquisition in two ways. The first
involved contacting and surveying residential property owners that have in the past
expressed interest in the voluntary sale of their property. The second involved
property owners contacting the HRA requesting that their property be considered for
the program. Properties that were considered candidates for the program were then
further evaluated for program eligibility and inspected. The properties which follow
are identified for acquisition under Cycle III of the program.

Tax Increment Financing Plan
for
Tax Increment Redevelopment District "B -3"
A. Statutory Authority
The statutory authority for the undertaking of a tax increment financing district (TIF
District "B -3 ") and related Tax Increment Financing Plan (Tax Increment Plan) in Redevelopment
Project Area "B" (Project Area "B ") for the Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program (Housing
Program) and the activities proposed in the tax increment plan relating thereto is conferred upon
the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Richfield, Minnesota (HRA),
pursuant to and in accordance with the Tax Increment Financing Act, Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174 .
to 469.179, inclusive, as amended.
B. Statement of Objectives
The HRA and the City continue to seek and affirm the goals and objectives set forth in.
Part I of the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area "A ", dated July 16, 1990 as
well as additional program objectives set forth in HRA Letter No. 13, dated April 20, 1992.
C. Development Program
1. Description of Development Activities
As with previous cycles of the housing program and so with Cycle III, a
comprehensive, integrated approach for acquisition, site clearance, and new
construction will continue to be provided through program guidelines. The HRA will
assist prospective developers, builders, and buyers with development, redevelopment,
new construction, and other related activities within the context of the modified
Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project Area "B ", this Tax Increment Plan,
and other related guidelines.
2. Development Activities Covered by Contract
At this writing, there are no executed development contracts for Cycle II properties
located in TIF District "B -3 ". Any and all development contracts which may arise in
the interim processing period of these plans, both modified and new, will be contingent
upon HRA Board and City Council approval.
B -3 -1
3. Other Development Not Under Contract Reasonably Expected to Occur in the
Project.
Proposals from prospective developers, builders, and buyers will be required to be
submitted to the HRA as part of the review process. .
The following activities may be expected to occur:
1. Property Acquisition;
2. On -site clearance;
3. On -site improvements;
4. New construction;
5. Remedial site environmental activities; and
6. Adjacent public improvements and utilities which service site.
For Cycle III of the Housing Program, a total of 38 properties have been identified for
program participation and acquisition. Twenty -two (22) of the properties are located
within Redevelopment Project Area "A" while the remaining sixteen (16) are within
Redevelopment Project Area "B ". (Refer to Appendix A for map of Redevelopment
Project Areas and tax increment parcels.) Redevelopment Project Area A and B each
contain one (1) property with a double lot. Property subdivisions will be required for
both lots in order to construct two homes on each site. Initial construction for Cycle
III is anticipated to begin in the last quarter of 1994. Construction for each home is
anticipated to be approximately 150 days. Timing of construction is contingent upon
favorable market conditions, reasonable time period for processing applications and
availability of funding revenue.
D. Description of Property in the Tax Increment Financing District
Property located within TIF District "B -3" is identified in Appendix B.
E. Classification of the Tax Increment Financing District
The Richfield BRA and City Council, in determining the need for a tax increment
financing district in accordance with Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174 to 469.179, inclusive, as amended,
find that Tax Increment District "B -3" to be established within Project Area "A" is a
redevelopment tax increment financing district as defined in. Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174, subd. 10.
Since the tax increment parcels within the scattered site program are non - contiguous, each
parcel has been examined by staff against the statutory definitions of structurally substandard and
other blight definitions. Each structure has qualified under Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174, subd. 10.
Thus, the tax increment financing district meets the requirements of a redevelopment tax
increment financing district.
B-3-2
A detailed account of property examination for eligibility are enumerated within a
document entitled "Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program: Blight Qualification Survey - Cycle
III" which will be on file at City Hall, Community Development Department, Housing and
Redevelopment Division, for the duration of the tax increment district's life.
F. Parcels in Acquisition

Double Lot.
The tax increment district budget includes acquisition costs for land sale subsidy which
will be offered to eligible developers, builders, and buyers as development incentives.
G. Estimate of Costs
The estimate of public costs associated.with the tax increment district are outlined in the
budget listed in Appendix D.
H. Estimated Amount of Obligated Funds
At the current time, an additional $700,000 of program revenue is available under Cycle
III to continue the housing program.
B -3 -3
An estimate of the amount of bonded indebtedness for redevelopment is expected to be
0. The term of the issues is 0 years including 0 years of capitalized interest with an anticipated
taxable interest rate of 0 %. The amount of capitalized interest is estimated to be $0.
A projected cash flow of the overall program reveals that interim program funding could
potentially be repaid with interest if sufficient tax increment receipts are available and housing
values appreciate.
1. Sources of Revenue
The primary source of revenue to be used to finance public costs associated with proposed
developments in the redevelopment project area is an allocation from the development account.
In addition to this allocation of revenue, other sources of revenue potentially available to the BRA
and City may be utilized.
J. Original Tax Capacity
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.175; subd. I and Sec. 469.177, subd. 1, the Original Net
Tax Capacity (OTC) for TIF District "B -3" is based on the January 2, 1992 assessed value placed
on the property by the county assessor. The OTC for the district is $1 1,446. (See Appendix B,
Property Located in Tax Increment Financing District "B -3 ".) Each year the office of the county
auditor will measure the amount of increase or decrease in the total net tax capacity of the tax
increment district to calculate the tax increment payable to the redevelopment district fund. In
any year in which there is an increase in total net tax capacity in the tax increment district above
the original net tax capacity, a tax increment will be payable. In any year in which the total net tax
capacity in the tax increment district declines below'the original net tax capacity, no tax capacity
will be captured and no tax increment will be payable.
The county auditor shall certify in each year after the date the original net tax capacity was
certified, the amount the OTC has increase or decreased -as a result of
1. Change in tax exempt status of property;
2. Reduction or enlargement of the geographic boundaries of the district; or
3. Change due to stipulations, adjustments, negotiated or court- ordered abatements.
K. Estimated Captured Tax Capacity
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.175, Subd. l and Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.177, subd. 2, the
estimated captured net tax capacity (CTC) of Tax Increment District 'B -3" is within a range of
284 to $1,679 per home. The total CTC for the 17 new homes to be located within
Redevelopment Project Area "B" ranges from $4,828 to $28,543. As a result of the
improvements to be constructed, it is expected that the estimated captured net tax capacity will be
available for the housing program. It is also anticipated that this amount will be captured not
more than 25 years. (See. Appendix C, Estimate of Tax Increments.)
B -3-4
L. Duration of the District
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sect. 469.176, subd. 1, the maximum duration of a
redevelopment tax increment district is 25 years. The HRA elects to capture 100% of the tax
increments for the duration of the district.
M. Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions
Refer to Appendix E, Estimate of Impacts on Other Taxing Jurisdictions.
N. Modifications of the Tax Increment Financing District
All tax increment plan modifications will be processed in accordance with Minn. Stat.,
Sec. 469.175, subd. 4.
The modifications pertaining to the necessary processing include any reduction or
enlargement of the geographic area of the project or tax increment financing district; increase in
amount of bonded indebtedness to be incurred, including a determination of capitalized interest on
debt if that determination was not a part of the original plan, or to increase or decrease the
amount of interest on the debt to be capitalized; increase in the portion of the captured tax
capacity to be retained by the HRA; increase in total estimated tax increment expenditures or
designation of additional property to be acquired by the HRA shall be approved upon the notice
and after the discussion, public hearing and findings required for approval of the original plan.
The geographic area of a tax increment district may be reduced, but shall not be enlarged after
five years following the date of certification of the original tax capacity by the County Auditor.
O. Limitation on Administrative Expenses
In accordance with Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174, subd. 14, and Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.176,
subd. 3, for districts for which certification was requested after June 30, 1982, no tax increment
shall be used to pay any administrative expenses for a project which exceed ten percent of the
total tax increment expenditures authorized by the tax increment financing plan or the total tax
increment expenditures for the project, whichever is less.
P. Limitation on Duration of Tax Increment Financing Districts
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.176, subd. 1, the HRA must issue bonds, or acquire
property, or construct or cause public improvements to be constructed within three years of the
date of certification of the tax increment district my the county auditor.
Q. Limitation on Qualification of Property in Tax Increment District Not Subject to
Improvement
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.176, subdivision 6, "if, after four years from the date of
certification of the original net tax capacity of the tax increment financing district..., no

demolition, rehabilitation or renovation of property or other site preparation, including qualified
improvement of a street adjacent to a parcel but not installation of utility service including sewer
or water systems, has been commenced on a parcel located within a tax increment financing.
district by the HRA or by the owner of the parcel in accordance with the tax increment financing
plan, no additional tax increment may be taken from that parcel, and the original net tax capacity
of the tax increment financing district. If the HRA or the owner of the parcel subsequently
commences demolition, rehabilitation or renovation or other site preparation on that parcel
including qualified improvement of a street adjacent to that parcel, in accordance with the tax
increment financing plan, the HRA shall certify to the county auditor that the activity has
commenced, and the county auditor shall certify the net tax capacity thereof most recently
certified by the commissioner of revenue and add it to the original net tax capacity of the tax
increment financing district."
R Limitation of the Use of Tax Increment
All revenues derived from tax increment shall be used in accordance with the tax
increment financing plan. The revenues shall be used to finance or otherwise pay public
redevelopment costs pursuant to Minn. Stat., 469.001 to 469.047, inclusive, as amended. These
revenues shall not be used to circumvent existing levy limit law. No revenues derived from tax
increment shall be used for the construction or renovation of a municipally owned building used
primarily and regularly for conducting the business of the municipality. This provision shall not
prohibit the use of revenues derived from tax increments for the construction or renovation of a
parking structure, a commons area used as a public park or a facility used for social, recreational
or conference purposes and not primarily for conducting the business of the municipality.
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.176, subd. 4j, at least 90 percent of the revenues derived
from tax increments from a redevelopment district must be used to finance the cost of correcting
conditions that allow designation of a redevelopment district under section 469.174. These costs
include acquiring properties containing structurally substandard buildings or improvements,
acquiring adjacent parcels necessary to provide a site of sufficient size to permit development,
demolition of structures, clearing of the land, and installation of utilities, roads, sidewalks, and
parking facilities for the site. The allocated administrative expenses of the authority may be
included in the qualifying costs.
S. Notification of Prior Planned Improvements
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.177, subd. 4, the HRA will review and search property
files for properties to be included in the tax increment district and to identify those properties for
which building permits have been issued during the l8 months immediately proceeding approval
of the tax increment financing plan by the City.
T. Excess Tax Increments
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.176, subd. 2, in any year in which the tax increment
exceeds the amount necessary to pay the costs authorized by the tax increment plan, including the
amount necessary to cancel any tax levy as provided in Minn. Stat., Sec. 475.61, subd. 3, the
HRA shall use the excess amount to:
I . Prepay the outstanding bonds;
2. Discharge the pledge of tax increment therefor;
3. Pay into an escrow account dedicated to the payment of such bond;
4. Repay any loans including interest on these loans, or
5. Return the excess to the county auditor for redistribution to the respective taxing
jurisdictions in proportion to their tax capacity rates.
The amounts distributed to a city or county must be deducted from the levy limits of the
governmental unit for the following year. In calculating the levy limit base for later years, the
amount deducted must be treated as a local government aid payment.
For the purpose of this tax increment financing plan, excess tax increment means that
increment received in any year which is in addition to the amount needed to satisfy the HRA's
current financial obligations or commitments, as specified in the tax increment financing budget
listed in Appendix D, or which is in addition to that which is placed in a separate account for the
purpose of accumulating funds needed to satisfy those financial obligations or commitments in the
future.
U. Restrictions on Pooling; Five -Year Limit
given:
district:
In accordance with Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.1763, the following terms have the meanings
Activities" means acquisition of property, clearing of land, site preparation, soils
correction, removal of hazardous waste or pollution, installation of utilities, construction
of public or private improvements, and other similar activities, but only to the extent that
tax increment revenues may be spent for such purposes under other law. Activities do not
include allocated administrative expenses, but do include engineering, architectural, and
similar costs of the improvements in the district.
Third Party" means an entity other than (1) the person receiving the benefit of assistance
financed with tax increments, or (2) the municipality or the development authority or other
person substantially under the control of the municipality.
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469. l 763, subd. 2 with respect to expenditures outside the
a) For each tax increment financing district, an amount equal to at least 75 percent of the
revenue derived from tax increments paid by properties in the district must be expended
on activities in the district or to pay bonds, to the extent that the proceeds of the bonds
were used to finance activities in the district or to pay, or secure payment of, debt service
on credit enhanced bonds. Not more than 25 percent of the revenue derived from tax
3 -7
increments paid by properties in the district may be expended, through a development fund
or otherwise, on activities outside of the district but within the defined geographic area of
the project except to pay, or secure payment of, debt service on credit enhanced bonds.
The revenue derived from tax increments for the district that are expended on costs under
section 469.176, subdivision 4h, paragraph (b), may be deducted first before calculating
the percentages that must be expended within and without the district.
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.173, subd. 3 with respect to the five -year rule:
a) Revenues derived from tax increments are considered to have been expended on an
activity within the district under subdivision 2 only if one of the following occurs:
1) before or within five years after certification of the district, the revenues are
actually.paid to a third party with respect to the activity;
2) bonds, the proceeds of which must be used to finance the activity, are issued
and sold to a third party before or within five years after certification and the revenues are
spent to repay the bonds;
3) binding contracts with a third party are entered into for performance of the
activity before or within five years after certification of the district and the revenues are
spent under the contractual obligation; or
4) costs with respect to the activity are paid before or within five years after
certification of the district and the revenues are spent to reimburse a party for payment of
the costs.
b) For purposes of this subdivision, bonds include subsequent refunding bonds if one of
two tests is met, (1) the proceeds of the original refunded bonds were spent on activities
within five years after the district was certified or (2) the original refunded bonds are
issued within five years after the district was certified and the proceeds are expended on
activities within a reasonable temporary period within the meaning of the use of that term
under section 148(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.173, subd. 4 with respect to use of revenues for
decertification:
Beginning with the sixth year following certification. of the district, 75 percent of the
revenues derived from tax increments paid by properties in the district that remain after
the expenditures permitted under subdivision 3 must be used only to pay outstanding
bonds, as defined in subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clause (2), and paragraph (b) or
contracts, as defined in subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clauses (3) and (4). When the
outstanding bonds have been defeased and when sufficient money has been set aside to
pay contractual obligations as defined in subdivision 3, paragraph (a), clauses (3) and (4),
the district must be decertified and the pledge of tax increment discharged.
B -3 -8
V. Assessment Agreements
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.177, subd. 8, the HRA may enter into an agreement in
recordable form with a developer or redeveloper of property within the tax increment district
which establishes a minimum market value of the tax increment district. The assessment
agreement shall be presented to the county assessor who shall review the plans and specifications
for the improvements to be constructed, review the market value previously assigned to the land
upon which the improvements are to be constructed and so long as the minimum market value
contained in the assessment agreement appears in the judgment of the assessor, to be a reasonable
estimate, the assessor may certify the minimum market value agreement.
W. Administration of the Tax Increment District and Maintenance or the Tax
Increment Account
Administration of the tax increment district will be the responsibility of the Richfield
Housing and Redevelopment Authority.
The tax increment received as a result of increases in the net tax capacity of the tax
increment district will be maintained in a special account separate from all other HRA and
municipal accounts and expended only upon sanctioned activities identified in the tax increment
financing plan.
X. Annual Disclosure Requirements
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.175, subd. 6a, on or before March 1 of each year, the
HRA must annually report to the commissioner of revenue the following:
1. Total principal amount of nondefeased tax increment financing bonds that are
outstanding at the end of the previous calendar year; and
2. Total annual amount of principal and interest payments that are due for the current
calendar year on (i) general obligation tax increment financing bonds, and (.ii) other tax
increment financing bonds.
Also in accordance with this requirement the HRA must annually report to the
commissioner of revenue the following amounts for the tax increment financing district:
1. Type of district;
2. Date on which the district is required to be decertified;
3. Captured net tax capacity of the district, by property class as specified by the
commissioner of revenue, for taxes payable in the current calendar year;
0: •
4. Tax increment revenues for taxes payable in the current calendar year;
Whether the tax increment financing plan or other governing document permits
increment revenues to be expended (i) to pay bonds, the proceeds of which were or
may be expended on activities located outside of the district, (ii) for deposit into a
common fund from which money may be expended on activities located outside of the
district, or (iii) to otherwise finance activities located outside of the tax increment
financing district; and
6. Any additional information that the commissioner of revenue may require.
Y. Assumptions
It was necessary to make certain assumptions regarding income, costs and timing of the
tax increment financing district. These assumptions are based on discussions with the HRA, City,
and County staff, and consultants.
Z. Municipal Findings.
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.175, subd. 3, before or at the time of approval of the tax
increment financing plan, the municipality shall make the following findings and shall set forth in
writing the reasons and supporting facts for each determination:
The Tax Increment Financing District is a redevelopment district pursuant to Minn.
Stat., Sec. 469.174, subd. 10. It has been determined that parcels consisting of 70
percent of the area of the district are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities or other
improvements and more than 50 percent of the buildings, not including outbuildings,
are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance.
Specifically, staff has examined each parcel against the statutory definitions of
structurally substandard and other blight definitions due to the non - contiguous nature
of the tax increment parcels. Each structure has qualified under Minn. Stat., Sec.
469.174, subd. 10. Thus, the tax increment financing district meets the requirements
of a redevelopment tax increment financing district. A detailed account of property
examination for eligibility are enumerated within a document entitled Richfield
Rediscovered Housing Program: Blight Qualification Survey - Cycle III" which will
be on' file at City.Hall, Community Development Department, Housing and
Redevelopment Division, for the duration of the tax increment district's life.
2. The proposed activities listed in this plan, in the opinion of the HRA, would not
reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the
reasonably foreseeable future. Therefore, the use of tax increment financing is deemed
necessary since the proposed development requires certain necessary planning,
property assembly and other improvements without which interested developers,
builders, or buyers could not construct the aforementioned improvements; and without
B -3 -10
the use of tax increments or other revenues authorized by this plan to assist with the
financing of the activities, interested developers, builders, or buyers would not proceed
with redevelopment in the redevelopment project area.
3. The tax increment financing plan conforms to the general plan for the development of
the City as a whole as it will result in the continuation of the Richfield Rediscovered
Housing Program for the development, redevelopment, new construction and other
related improvements of residential homes for which there is limited sources of
revenue available.
4. The tax increment financing plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the
sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development by private enterprise as it will
enable the HRA to provide the necessary redevelopment for the project area and City,
as a whole, in a planning manner suitable to both the public and private sectors.

ESTIMATE OF IMPACTS ON OTHER
TAXING JURISDICTIONS
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT "B -3"
The purpose of analyzing impacts on taxing jurisdictions is to (a.) determine how tax increment
assistance provided to a proposed redevelopment project impacts taxing jurisdictions; (b.)
determine the level of impact as it relates to tax base; and (c) determine the amount of taxes a
taxing entity would need to levy in order to increase their respective tax base by the amount the
project brings in absent the project.
If the 'But For" test were not met, construction would not occur. That is, without the creation
and existence of the tax increment district, construction would not occur because the cost of
developing the proposed project by a private developer would be prohibitive. Acceptable rates of
return on project investment could not be met and risk would be too high. Development would
not move forward. Construction would not occur without the assistance of the city. In light of
this, the impact to taxing jurisdictions would be $0. Foregone would be the benefits of a new
construction project, increased overall tax base, and other project objectives. The estimated
impact. of Tax Increment District "B -3" would be as follows if the project were built without tax
increment financing:
IMPACT ON TAX BASE
The following table displays captured tax capacity when all construction is completed. The tax
rates and tax capacities are the payable 1994 figures for all jurisdictions. The potential taxes
column is the estimate of the amount of taxes each jurisdiction would theoretically have to raise if
the goal of taxing entities was to raise tax base equal to that of the project without constructing
the project.
