Rediscovered Redevelopment and Tax Increment Financing Plans.
References: Chapter 462 of the Minnesota State Statute requires that whenever any public
agency acquires or sells property in the City, the Planning Commission must

Project Area B.
Public Notice: Not required for a finding of this type.
City Council: A public hearing is scheduled for July 10, 1995
ANALYSIS
Issues: All sites identified in the Plans are presently zoned and used for single family
residential purposes. The Planning Commission is being asked to determine
whether the acquisition and disposition as residential property is consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommended
Action:
Preferred: Adopt the attached resolutions which make a finding that:
1. The acquisition and disposition of property for Richfield Rediscovered is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
2. The Richfield Rediscovered Redevelopment and Tax Increment Financing
Plans are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Basis: 1. Richfield Rediscovered is a proven redevelopment program. Qualifying

3. The Comprehensive Plan designates all the identified sites as either "single
family" or "medium density buffer ". Both of these designations permit
single family residential use.
4. There is a market of owners who wish to voluntarily sell their obsolete or
substandard homes.
5. There is a builder and buyer market for new larger homes in Richfield.
6. A source of funding is available to implement the Program.

supporting excluding staff costs which are covered by the New Home
Program.
8. Existing staff resources are available to administer the Program.
9. Legal Counsel has reviewed the program and related documents and found
them to be in compliance with existing laws.

MODIFICATION TO THE REDEVELOPMENT PLANS AND
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLANS RELATED TO THE
RICHFIELD REDISCOVERED HOUSING PROGRAM
WHEREAS, it is the intent of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in
and for the 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
May 22, 1995 HRA directive and endorsement to proceed with the Richfield
Rediscovered Housing Program (the "Housing Program "); and
WHEREAS, on May 22, 1995, the HRA determined that certain
modifications were necessary to the previously approved and created

Program to guide development, redevelopment, and new construction of single
family residential housing with Redevelopment Project Area "A" (Project Area

resolution, advises the City Council, the HRA and all interested persons, that it is
the opinion of the Planning Commission that:

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

the expanded Housing Program, conform to and are consistent with the general

Tax Increment Financing Plan
for
Tax Increment Redevelopment District "A4"
A. Statutory Authority
The statutory authority for the undertaking of a tax increment financing district (TIF
District "A4") 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 IV, a
comprehensive, integrated approach for acquisition, site clearance, and new
construction will continue to be provided through program guidelines. The BRA 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 acquisition is proceeding between HRA
staff and owners for one property. Early acquisition has already occurred on one
property. Any and all development contracts which may arise in the interim
processing period of these plans, both modified and new, will be contingent upon BRA
Board and City Council approval.
A-4 -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 W of the Housing Program, a total of 71 properties have been identified for
program participation and acquisition. Forty six (46) of the properties are located
within Redevelopment Project Area "A" while the remaining 25 are within
Redevelopment Project Area "B ". (Refer to Appendix A for map of Redevelopment
Project Areas and tax increment parcels.) Redevelopment Project Areas A and B each
contain one property with a double lot. Property subdivisions will be required for
these lots in order to construct two homes on each site. Initial construction for Cycle
W is anticipated to begin in the summer of. Construction for each home is anticipated
to be approximately 120 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 "A4" 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 accordancewith Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.174 to 469.179, inclusive, as amended,
find that Tax Increment District "A4" 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-4 -2
A detailed account of property examination for eligibility are enumerated within a
document entitled "Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program: Blight Qualification Survey - Cycle
IV" 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 TIF District A4, Cycle IV of
the Housing Program:

Property moved from Cycle III acquisition list to the Cycle IV acquisition list.
Double lot.
Early acquisition.
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, $750,000 of program revenue is anticipated to be alloted to Cycle IV
in order to continue with 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.
L 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.
A-4-4
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. 1 and Sec. 469.177, subd. 1, the Original Net
Tax Capacity (OTC) for TIF District "A4" is based on the January 2, 1994 assessed value placed
on the property by the county assessor. The OTC for the district is $29,550. (See Appendix B,
Property Located in Tax Increment Financing District "A4".) 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-4" is within a range of
429 to $1,694 per home. The total CTC for the full build -out of 46 potential new homes to be
located within Redevelopment Project Area "A" ranges from $19,734 to $77,924. 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.)
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.
A-4 -5
N. Modifications of the Tax Increment Financing District
All tax increment plan modifications will be processed in accordance with Mum. 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 BRA 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 BRA 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
A-4 -6
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 Mm. 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 Mum. 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
amount necessary to cancel any tax levy as provided in Mmn. Stat., Sec. 475.6 1, 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.
A-4 -7
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 IMA!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:
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 expensee;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
district:
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
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.
A-4 -8
Pursuant to Mm. 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.
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
A-4 -9
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 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;
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
A-4-10
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 NImn. 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 Nffim. 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 IV" 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
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
A-4 -11
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.

APPENDIX E
ESTIMATE OF IMPACTS ON OTHER
TAXING JURISDICTIONS
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT "A4"
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 "A4" would be as follows if the project were built without tax
increment financing:
EWPACT ON TAX BASE
The following table displays captured tax capacity when all construction is completed. The tax
rates and tax capacities are the payable 1995 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. .

1. Acquisition
In furthereance of the Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program, HRA staff maintained
standards set forth in prevous years to identify property for acquisition. In its sequential
numbering system, this is Cycle IV in the housing program. As in the past, residential
property owners were contacted and surveyed to determine (a.) whether or not they continued
to express an interest in selling their property on a voluntary basis and (b.) if interested, within
which time frame. Additional means of obtaining candidate properties were made by

Tax Increment Financing Plan
for
Tax Increment Redevelopment District "B-4"
A. Statutory Authority
The statutory authority for the undertaking of a tax increment financing district (TIF
District 'B4") 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 "B ", 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 IV, 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 early negotiations for property acquisitions proceeding
between HRA staff and owners for one property. Early acquisitions have already
occurred on two properties. 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-4 -1
3. Other Development Not Under Contract Reasonably Expected to Occur in the
Proiect.
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 IV of the Housing Program, a total of 73 properties have been identified for
program participation and acquisition. Forty six (46) of the properties are located
within Redevelopment Project Area "A" while the remaining 25 are within
Redevelopment Project Area "B ". (Refer to Appendix A for map of Redevelopment
Project Areas and tax increment parcels.) Redevelopment Project Areas A and B each
contain one property with a double lot. Property subdivisions will be required for
these lots in order to construct two homes on each site. Initial construction for Cycle
IV is anticipated to begin in the summer of. Construction for each home is anticipated
to be approximately 120 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 "B4" 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 "B4" to be established within Project Area "B" 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-4 -2
A detailed account of property examination for eligibility are enumerated within a
document entitled "Richfield Rediscovered Housing Program: Blight Qualification Survey - Cycle
IV" 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 TIF District B-4, Cycle IV of
the Housing Program:

An estimate of the amount of bnndPJ .ind lvf
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.
L 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. 1 and Sec. 469.177, subd. 1, the Original Net
Tax Capacity (OTC) for TIF District "B4" is based on the January 2, 1994 assessed value placed
on the property by the county assessor. The OTC for the district is $17,126. (See Appendix B,
Property Located in Tax Increment Financing District "114".) 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 "B4" is within a range of
B-4-4
395 to $1,660 per home. The total CTC for the full build -out of 25 potential new homes to be
located within Redevelopment Project Area `B" ranges from $9,875 to $41,500. 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.)
L. Duration of the District
Pursuant to Mm. 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 Taming 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 Mnn. 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.
B-4 -5
Q. Limitation on Qualification of Property in Tax Increment District Not Subject to
Improvement
Pursuant to Mum. 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 BRA 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
amount necessary to cancel any tax levy as provided in Muni. 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:
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.
B-4 -7
Pursuant to Minn. Stat., Sec. 469.1763, subd. 2 with respect to expenditures outside the
district:
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
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:
B-4 -8
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.
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 1 of each year, the
HRA must annually report to the commissioner of revenue the following:
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:
mm
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;
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:
The Tax Increment Financing District is a redevelopment district pursuant to Nfum.
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 1V" 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.
B-4 -10
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
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-4"
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-4" 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 1995 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.
