VI.A. SUPPORT FOR PRESERVATION OF NATURALLY OCCURING AFFORDABLE HOUSING AT
7008 SANDELL AVENUE
Economic Development Manager Neuendorf outlined reasons to approve the proposed term sheet and
authorize staff to engage third-party advisors (at HRA expense) to prepare full legal agreements to provide
grant funding for the preservation of affordable housing at 7008 Sandell Avenue. He explained the proposal
would preserve naturally occurring affordable housing in the southeast quadrant of Edina by providing monies
from the Southdale 2 Tax Increment Financing District to Aeon Housing, a nonprofit housing operator and
developer, for an 11-unit apartment building located at 7008 Sandell Avenue. The property was currently for
sale on the open market and Aeon intended to acquire the site to preserve affordable rents for at least 30
years. Mr. Neuendorf spoke about Edina’s affordable housing strategies that included the production of new
affordable units that protected existing residents from the loss of their homes as well as the preservation of
existing units where possible. He shared Edina currently had approximately 100 properties or 5,400 rental
units in the City with only 994 deemed affordable or 18%. He reviewed Aeon’s proposal that included some
moderate rehabilitation and intent to lock the units in as affordable for a 30-year term with no tenants being
displaced. He stated the project was under contract and Aeon intended to close in May.
The HRA asked questions regarding purchase price, building condition, partnering at a 5% level if approved,
and how this would be the first time this type of project would be done in the City as new units are typically
created instead.
Minutes/HRA/February 28, 2019
2
Blake Hopkins, Aeon Housing, answered questions in detail on rate of return to their equity investors and how
they would work to achieve a higher rate while stabilizing rental rates. He said they were working with the
City of Minneapolis as well and explained that while they were still conducting needs assessments, the
property was in good shape and interior improvements had already been completed.
The HRA clarified the investment plan and referred to the potential of setting a precedent for similar projects
as they did not want to be unfair to future projects but noted this was a good opportunity. The HRA inquired
about loan to value and why investors participate in such projects. Mr. Hopkins replied the loan to value was
approximately 77% and a competitive blended. Their impact investors work towards a double bottom line
that included a return on investment as well as the common good. He explained Aeon received partial funding
from foundations.
The HRA thanked the applicant for bringing this project forward and noted that to create 11 units of
affordable housing, 55 new units would have to be built and this project resulted in much less public expense
and maintained a current project. The HRA spoke about the creation of guidelines for future project
consideration and asked if some tenants would see improvements and rent reduction while others saw rent
increases. Mr. Hopkins confirmed any rent changes would occur naturally as units turn over and no one
would experience a rent increase.
The HRA noted this project would be a good investment both on the financial and human side and commented
on the Housing Task Force report by the State of Minnesota that preserved naturally-occurring affordable
housing that was sustainable, less expensive, and less disruptive to the neighborhood. The HRA thanked the
applicant for bringing this to Edina and asked about the source of funds used by the City. Mr. Neuendorf said
they intend to use existing Southdale 2 monies pooled into this property and use buy-in funds for future
projects.
Motion made by Commissioner Anderson seconded by Commissioner Fischer to approve the
Term Sheet and authorize staff to engage third-party advisors (at HRA expense) to prepare full
legal agreements to provide grant funding for the preservation of affordable housing at 7008
Sandell Avenue.
Ayes: Anderson, Brindle, Fischer, and Hovland
Motion carried.

Bill Neuendorf, Economic Development Manager
Resolution No. 2019-07: Establishing 72nd and France Tax Increment Financing District and
Approving a Tax Increment Financing Plan
Information / Background:
The City and Housing and Redevelopment Authority are considering entering into a Redevelopment
Agreement with France Equities, LLC to provide financial assistance using Tax Increment Financing (TIF).
The proposed project is located at 7200-7250 France Avenue and is guided for commercial/multi-family
residential use. One of the existing office buildings is vacant and unable to be occupied due to structural
safety concerns. The second office building is mostly vacant with the few remaining tenants anticipated to
vacate in the near future. In December 2018, the developer/owner was granted preliminary rezoning and
site plan approval for a mixed-use development that consists of two 6-story apartment buildings with
commercial space on the first floor and a row of for-sale townhouses. The site is designed with significant
public realm space that follows the intention of the Greater Southdale District Plan. All parking will be
enclosed or underground. Twenty percent of the approximately 311 total units will be affordably priced for
25-years. The high development cost and limited revenue from the affordable units creates a gap in the
project financing.
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is one of the financial tools available to encourage new investment in a
manner that enhances the property tax base and achieves other community goals. TIF uses new property
taxes (aka incremental taxes) that are generated by a new project to pay for some of the costs associated
with the new project. The existing tax base continues to be distributed to the school, city, county and other
taxing agencies.
The use of TIF is governed by Minnesota Statutes that have evolved over several decades. These laws
provide a number of protections to ensure that financial incentives are not over-used or mis-used. Edina has
historically used TIF to a lesser extent than its peers. The City’s TIF Policy limits financial risk to the City
and strives to maximize public benefits when TIF is used.
STAFF REPORT Page 2
In this case, staff recommends that a new TIF District be created so that the financial gap of the proposed
7200-7250 France Apartment project can be bridged. This will allow a new project to proceed resulting in
short-term and long-term benefits to the Edina community. This recommendation is based on the following:
• Creation of a new 20-year Housing TIF District using special legislation granted in 2014
• Redevelopment can deliver approximately 62 units of new affordable priced housing
• Boundaries limited to 2 parcels that are define the project limits of the 7200-7250 France
redevelopment site
• District is located within the boundaries of the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Project Area
• Redevelopment within the District can promptly address the vacant buildings before they become a
safety problem and negative influence on surrounding residential and commercial properties
• Redevelopment can achieve goals of the Greater Southdale District Plan that was created over
several years to address design and land use challenges of the site
This recommendation also comes with limitations to ensure that the public financing potentially made
available to the Developer in the future are justified and serve as an incentive that rewards a project that has
delivered clear public benefits. The financing terms and public benefits of the 7200-7250 France Apartments
were described in Term Sheet that was prepared by staff and approved by the City Council and HRA in
February.
Ehlers Associates, the City’s public finance advisor has prepared a Tax Increment Financing Plan to establish
the parameters of the new TIF District. This Plan has been reviewed by the City’s special counsel for
redevelopment matters – Dorsey & Whitney to ensure compliance with State Law.
Draft copies of this Plan have been distributed to affected taxing agencies, including the Edina School District
and Hennepin County in accordance with the process identified in State Law. As of the writing of this staff
report, no concerns have been expressed regarding the creation of the 72nd and France TIF District.
This TIF Plan is also recommended to be approved by the Edina City Council at their March 19, 2019 special
meeting.
Please note that the action taken in this Resolution only establish the TIF District. Final terms of any financial
agreement with the developer will be considered in a separate action taken in the future.
Staff recommends that HRA Resolution No. 2019-07 be approved.

Section 1 - Modification to the Redevelopment Plan
for the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Project Area
Foreword
The following text represents a Modification to the Redevelopment Plan for the Southeast Edina
Redevelopment Project Area. This modification represents a continuation of the goals and objectives set
forth in the Redevelopment Plan for the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Project Area. Generally, the
substantive changes include the establishment of the 72nd and France Tax Increment Financing District.
Municipal Action Taken
Based upon the statutory authority described in the Redevelopment Plan, the public purpose findings by the

The original and amended Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan documents and amendments have designated
the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan as a redevelopment project and also a tax increment financing plan
for tax increment districts created prior to 1988. The Centennial Lakes Tax Increment Financing District was
created in 1988 pursuant to Tax Increment Financing Plan 88-1, which was subsequently renamed the
Centennial Lakes Tax Increment District and referred to by Hennepin County as District #1203 and #1249.
For purposes of clarification, this modification will refer to the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan as the
Southeast Edina Redevelopment Project Area Plan pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 469.002. The following
municipal action has been taken with regard to the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Project Area Plan:

1987: The HRA and City approved the 1987 Amendments to the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan to
enlarge the project area to include the 1987 Project Area.
1988: The HRA and City approved the 1988 Amendments to the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Plan that
provide an Interest Reduction Program in the amount of $2,500,000 to assist in the financing and
construction of housing units, and authorize the HRA and City to incur bonded indebtedness.
February 21, 2012: The HRA and City expand the Southeast Edina Project Area.
Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority

In meeting the statutory criteria of the TIF Act, the HRA and City rely on the following facts and findings:
•The District consists of two parcels.
•The development will consist of a mixed-use development primarily including 301 units of multifamily
rental housing, 10 units of owner-occupied town homes and 28,100 square feet of retail.
Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority
Tax Increment Financing Plan for the 72nd and France Tax Increment Financing District 2-3
•No more than 20% of the square footage of buildings that receive assistance from tax increment will
consist of commercial, retail, or other nonresidential uses.
In meeting the criteria of the Edina Affordable Housing Act, the HRA and City rely on the following facts
and findings:
•At least 20% of the residential units of the buildings assisted with tax increment will be occupied by
households earning annual incomes at 60% or less of area median income.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 7, the District does not contain any parcel or part of a parcel that
qualified under the provisions of M.S., Sections 273.111, 273.112, or 273.114 or Chapter 473H for taxes
payable in any of the five calendar years before the filing of the request for certification of the District.
Subsection 2-7.Duration and First Year of Tax Increment of the District
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 1, and Section 469.176, Subd. 1, the duration and first year of tax
increment of the District must be indicated within the TIF Plan. Pursuant to the Edina Affordable Housing
Act, the duration of the District will be 20 years after receipt of the first increment by the HRA or City (a
total of 21 years of tax increment). The HRA or City elects to receive the first tax increment in 2023, which
is no later than four years following the year of approval of the District.
Thus, it is estimated that the District, including any modifications of the TIF Plan for subsequent phases or
other changes, would terminate after 2043, or when the TIF Plan is satisfied. The HRA or City reserves the
right to decertify the District prior to the legally required date.
Subsection 2-8.Original Tax Capacity, Tax Rate and Estimated Captured Net Tax Capacity
Value/Increment and Notification of Prior Planned Improvements
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 7 and M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, the Original Net Tax Capacity
(ONTC) as certified for the District will be based on the market values placed on the property by the assessor
in 2018 for taxes payable 2019.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subds. 1 and 2, the County Auditor shall certify in each year (beginning
in the payment year 2021 the amount by which the original value has increased 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;
3.Change due to adjustments, negotiated or court-ordered abatements;
4.Change in the use of the property and classification;
5.Change in state law governing class rates; or
6.Change in previously issued building permits.
In any year in which the current Net Tax Capacity (NTC) value of the District declines below the ONTC,
no value will be captured and no tax increment will be payable to the HRA or City.
The original local tax rate for the District will be the local tax rate for taxes payable 2019, assuming the
request for certification is made before June 30, 2019. The estimated ONTC and the Original Local Tax Rate
for the District appear in the table below.
Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority
Tax Increment Financing Plan for the 72nd and France Tax Increment Financing District 2-4
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174 Subd. 4 and M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, 2, and 4, the estimated
Captured Net Tax Capacity (CTC) of the District, within the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Project Area,
upon completion of the project within the District, will annually approximate tax increment revenues as
shown in the table below. The HRA and City request 100 percent of the available increase in tax capacity
for repayment of its obligations and current expenditures, beginning in the tax year payable 2023. The
Project Tax Capacity (PTC) listed is an estimate of values when the projects within the District are
completed.
Project Estimated Tax Capacity upon Completion (PTC)$1,546,944
Original Estimated Net Tax Capacity (ONTC)$168,986
Fiscal Disparities $61,349
Estimated Captured Tax Capacity (CTC)$1,316,609
Original Local Tax Rate 1.09663 Pay 2019
Estimated Annual Tax Increment (CTC x Local Tax Rate)$1,443,833
Percent Retained by the HRA 100%
Tax capacity includes a 1.0% inflation factor for the duration of the District. The tax capacity included in this
chart is the estimated tax capacity of the District in year 21. The tax capacity of the District in year one isestimated to be $1,163,925.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 4, the HRA shall, after a due and diligent search, accompany its
request for certification to the County Auditor or its notice of the District enlargement pursuant to M.S.,
Section 469.175, Subd. 4, with a listing of all properties within the District or area of enlargement for which
building permits have been issued during the eighteen (18) months immediately preceding approval of the
TIF Plan by the municipality pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 3. The County Auditor shall increase
the original net tax capacity of the District by the net tax capacity of improvements for which a building
permit was issued.
The City has reviewed the area to be included in the District and determined no building permits have
been issued during the 18 months immediately preceding approval of the TIF Plan by the City.
Subsection 2-9.Budgeted Sources of Revenue/Bonds to be Issued
The total estimated tax increment revenues for the District are calculated in Appendix D and are shown in
the table below:
SOURCES OF FUNDS TOTAL
Tax Increment $27,065,561
Interest $1,344,572
TOTAL $28,410,133
The costs outlined in the Uses of Funds will be financed primarily through the annual collection of tax
increments. The HRA or City reserves the right to incur bonds or other indebtedness to help achieve the
Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority
Tax Increment Financing Plan for the 72nd and France Tax Increment Financing District 2-5
objectives of the TIF Plan. As currently proposed, the projects within the District will be financed by a pay-
as-you-go note issued to reimburse the Developer for the funding of qualified affordable housing costs. Any
refunding amounts will be deemed a budgeted cost without a formal TIF Plan Modification. This provision
does not obligate the HRA or City to incur debt. The HRA or City will issue bonds or incur other debt only
upon the determination that such action is in the best interest of the City.
The HRA or City may issue bonds (as defined in the TIF Act) secured in whole or in part with tax increments
from the District in a maximum principal amount of $17,675,232. Such bonds may be in the form of pay-as-
you-go notes, revenue bonds or notes, general obligation bonds, or interfund loans. This estimate of total
bonded indebtedness is a cumulative statement of authority under this TIF Plan as of the date of approval.
Further information can be found in Appendix D.
Subsection 2-10.Uses of Funds
Currently under consideration for the District is a proposal to facilitate the redevelopment of two substandard
office buildings and construction of a new mixed-use development that includes approximately 301 units of
multifamily rental housing, ten units of owner-occupied townhomes and 28,100 square feet of retail. The
HRA and City have determined that it will be necessary to provide assistance to the project for certain
District costs, as described.
The HRA has studied the feasibility of the development or redevelopment of property in and around the
District. To facilitate the establishment and development or redevelopment of the District, this TIF Plan
authorizes the use of tax increment financing to pay for the cost of certain eligible expenses. The estimate
of public costs and uses of funds associated with the District is outlined in the table below. These estimates
establish the maximum amount permitted to be expended, but the City/HRA is not obligated to expend the
full amount.
USES OF TAX INCREMENT FUNDS TOTAL
Land / Building Acquisition $1,070,000
Site Improvements/Preparation $3,235,200
Utilities $1,790,000
Construction of Affordable Housing $5,350,000
Other Qualifying Improvements $3,523,476
Administrative Costs (up to 10%)$2,706,556
PROJECT COST TOTAL $17,675,232
Interest $10,734,901
PROJECT AND INTEREST COSTS TOTAL $28,410,133
The total project cost, including financing costs (interest) listed in the table above does not exceed the total
projected tax increments for the District as shown in Subsection 2-9.
Estimated costs associated with the District are subject to change among categories without a modification
to this TIF Plan as permitted by M.S. Section 469.175, Subd. 4. The cost of all activities to be considered
Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority
Tax Increment Financing Plan for the 72nd and France Tax Increment Financing District 2-6
for tax increment financing will not exceed, without formal modification, the budget above pursuant to the
applicable statutory requirements. Pursuant to M.S. Section 469.1763, Subd. 2, the HRA may expend funds
for qualified housing activities outside of the District boundaries.
Subsection 2-11.Fiscal Disparities Election
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3, the City may elect one of two methods to calculate fiscal
disparities. If the calculations pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3, clause b, (within the District) are
followed, the following method of computation shall apply:
(1)The original net tax capacity shall be determined before the application of the fiscal disparity
provisions of Chapter 276A or 473F. The current net tax capacity shall exclude any fiscal
disparity commercial-industrial net tax capacity increase between the original year and the
current year multiplied by the fiscal disparity ratio determined pursuant to M.S., Section
276A.06, subdivision 7 or M.S., Section 473F.08, subdivision 6. Where the original net tax
capacity is equal to or greater than the current net tax capacity, there is no captured tax
capacity and no tax increment determination. Where the original tax capacity is less than the
current tax capacity, the difference between the original net tax capacity and the current net tax
capacity is the captured net tax capacity. This amount less any portion thereof which the
authority has designated, in its tax increment financing plan, to share with the local taxing
districts is the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority.
(2)The county auditor shall exclude the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority from the
net tax capacity of the local taxing districts in determining local taxing district tax rates. The
local tax rates so determined are to be extended against the retained captured net tax capacity
of the authority as well as the net tax capacity of the local taxing districts. The tax generated
by the extension of the less of (A) the local taxing district tax rates or (B) the original local tax
rate to the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority is the tax increment of the
authority.
The City will choose to calculate fiscal disparities by clause b.
According to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3:
(c)The method of computation of tax increment applied to a district pursuant to paragraph (a) or
(b) shall remain the same for the duration of the district, except that the governing body may
elect to change its election from the method of computation in paragraph (a) to the method in
paragraph (b).
Subsection 2-12.Business Subsidies
M.S. Section 116J.993 to 116J.995 defines a business subsidy as a “grant, contribution of personal property,
real property, infrastructure, the principal amount of a loan at rates below those commercially available to
the recipient, any reduction or deferral of any tax or any fee, any guarantee of any payment under any loan,
lease or other obligation, or any preferential use of government facilities given to a business.” Also included
in the definition are many forms of economic assistance. Some forms of assistance, such as tax increment
for redevelopment and housing, are specifically excluded from business subsidy requirements. Pursuant to
M.S., Section 116J.993, Subd. 3, the following forms of financial assistance are not considered a business
subsidy:
Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority
Tax Increment Financing Plan for the 72nd and France Tax Increment Financing District 2-7
(1) A business subsidy of less than $150,000;
(2)Assistance that is generally available to all businesses or to a general class of similar businesses,
such as a line of business, size, location, or similar general criteria;
(3) Public improvements to buildings or lands owned by the state or local government that serve a
public purpose and do not principally benefit a single business or defined group of businesses at
the time the improvements are made;
(4) Redevelopment property polluted by contaminants as defined in M.S., Section 116J.552, Subd. 3;
(5) Assistance provided for the sole purpose of renovating old or decaying building stock or bringing
it up to code and assistance provided for designated historic preservation districts, provided that
the assistance is equal to or less than 50% of the total cost;
(6) Assistance to provide job readiness and training services if the sole purpose of the assistance is
to provide those services;
(7) Assistance for housing;
(8) Assistance for pollution control or abatement, including assistance for a tax increment financing
hazardous substance subdistrict as defined under M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 23;
(9) Assistance for energy conservation;
(10) Tax reductions resulting from conformity with federal tax law;
(11) Workers' compensation and unemployment compensation;
(12) Benefits derived from regulation;
(13) Indirect benefits derived from assistance to educational institutions;
(14) Funds from bonds allocated under chapter 474A, bonds issued to refund outstanding bonds, and
bonds issued for the benefit of an organization described in section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended through December 31, 1999;
(15) Assistance for a collaboration between a Minnesota higher education institution and a business;
(16) Assistance for a tax increment financing soils condition district as defined under M.S., Section
469.174, Subd. 19;
(17) Redevelopment when the recipient's investment in the purchase of the site and in site preparation
is 70 percent or more of the assessor's current year's estimated market value;
(18) General changes in tax increment financing law and other general tax law changes of a principally
technical nature;
(19) Federal assistance until the assistance has been repaid to, and reinvested by, the state or local
government agency;
(20) Funds from dock and wharf bonds issued by a seaway port authority;
(21) Business loans and loan guarantees of $150,000 or less;
(22) Federal loan funds provided through the United States Department of Commerce, Economic
Development Administration; and
(23) Property tax abatements granted under M.S., Section 469.1813 to property that is subject to
valuation under Minnesota Rules, chapter 8100.
The HRA will comply with M.S., Sections 116J.993 to 116J.995 to the extent the tax increment assistance
under this TIF Plan does not fall under any of the above exemptions.
Subsection 2-13.County Road Costs
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 1a, the county board may require the HRA or City to pay for all or
part of the cost of county road improvements if the proposed development to be assisted by tax increment
will, in the judgment of the county, substantially increase the use of county roads requiring construction of
Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority
Tax Increment Financing Plan for the 72nd and France Tax Increment Financing District 2-8
road improvements or other road costs and if the road improvements are not scheduled within the next five
years under a capital improvement plan or within five years under another county plan.
The county roads in the vicinity of the District include France Avenue (County Road 17). The HRA and City
are aware that the county could claim that tax increment should be used for county roads, even after the
public hearing. If the county elects to use increments to improve county roads, it must notify the HRA or
City within forty-five days of receipt of the TIF Plan submitted February 15, 2019. In the opinion of the
HRA, City and consultants, the proposed development outlined in this TIF Plan will have little or no impact
upon county roads.
Subsection 2-14.Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions
The estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions assumes that the redevelopment contemplated by the TIF
Plan would occur without the creation of the District. However, the HRA or City has determined that such
development or redevelopment would not occur "but for" tax increment financing and that, therefore, the
fiscal impact on other taxing jurisdictions is $0.
The estimated fiscal impact of the District would be as follows if the "but for" test was not met:

The estimates listed above display the captured tax capacity (CTC) when all construction anticipated in
Appendix A is completed. The tax rate used for calculations is the Pay 2019 rate as obtained from Hennepin
County. The total net tax capacity for the entities listed above are based on Pay 2019 figures provided by
Hennepin County. The District will be certified under the actual Pay 2019 rates assuming the request for
certification is made prior to June 30, 2019.
Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority
Tax Increment Financing Plan for the 72nd and France Tax Increment Financing District 2-9
Pursuant to M.S. Section 469.175 Subd. 2(b):
(1) Estimate of total tax increment. It is estimated that the total amount of tax increment that will be
generated over the life of the District is $27,065,561;
(2) Probable impact of the District on city provided services and ability to issue debt. Based upon input
from the Edina Police Department, an impact of the District on police protection is not expected.
The City Police Department does track all calls for service including property-type calls and crimes.
With any addition of new residents or businesses, police calls for service will be increased. New
developments add an increase in traffic and additional overall demands to the call load. The City
does not expect that the proposed development, in and of itself, will necessitate new capital
investment.
Based upon input from the Edina Fire Department, the probable impact of the District on fire
protection is not expected to be significant. The City Fire Department expects some increased costs
of inspections and that the development will generate a minor increase in EMS calls. Typically new
buildings compliant with building and fire codes generate few fire calls, if any, and are of superior
construction beneficial to the mission of the Fire Department.
Based upon input from the Edina Engineering Department, the impact of the District on public
infrastructure is expected to be minimal. The developer will include improvements to 72nd Street
as part of the development, but it is not expected to require additional public infrastructure to address
its impact to traffic and pedestrian movement in the area. The current infrastructure for sanitary
sewer, storm sewer and water will be able to handle the additional volume generated from the
proposed development, but the City is exploring the cost effectiveness of adding utility replacements
in conjunction with the 72nd street improvements. Based on the development plans, costs associated
with street maintenance, sweeping, plowing, lighting and sidewalks are expected to be neutral.
It is not anticipated that there will be any general obligation debt issued in relation to this District,
therefore there will be no impact on the City's ability to issue future debt or on the City's debt limit.
(3) Estimated amount of tax increment attributable to school district levies. M.S. Section 469.175 Subd.
2(b) requires the TIF Plan to calculate “the estimated amount of tax increments over the life of the
District that would be attributable to school district levies, assuming the school district’s share of
the total local tax rate for a taxing jurisdiction remained the same.” The amount of tax increments
over the life of the District that would be attributable to school district levies, assuming the school
district's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same, is $7,548,585;.
The amount is calculated by multiplying the total estimated increment of $27,065,561 by the percent
of the proportionate share of the total tax rate of 27.89%.
(4) Estimated amount of tax increment attributable to county levies. M.S. Section 469.175 Subd. 2(b)
requires the TIF Plan to calculate “the estimated amount of tax increments over the life of the
District that would be attributable to county levies, assuming the county’s share of the total local
tax rate for a taxing jurisdiction remained the same.” The amount of tax increments over the life
of the District that would be attributable to county levies, assuming the county's share of the total
local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same, is $10,330,925;. The amount is
calculated by multiplying the total estimated increment of $27,065,561 by the percent of the
proportionate share of the total tax rate of 38.17%.
Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority
Tax Increment Financing Plan for the 72nd and France Tax Increment Financing District 2-10
(5) Additional information requested by the county or school district. The City is not aware of any
standard questions in a county or school district written policy regarding tax increment districts and
impact on county or school district services. The county or school district must request additional
information pursuant to M.S. Section 469.175 Subd. 2(b) within 15 days after receipt of the tax
increment financing plan.
At this time, no requests for additional information from the county or school district regarding the
proposed development for the District have been received.
Subsection 2-15.Supporting Documentation
Pursuant to M.S. Section 469.175, Subd. 1 (a), clause 7 the TIF Plan must contain identification and
description of studies and analyses used to make the determination set forth in M.S. Section 469.175, Subd.
3, clause (b)(2) and the findings are required in the resolution approving the District. Following is a list of
reports and studies on file at the City that support the HRA and City's findings:
•Resolution Nos. 2018-116 and 2018-117 granting preliminary rezoning and site plan approvals
December 4, 2018.
Subsection 2-16.Definition of Tax Increment Revenues
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 25, tax increment revenues derived from a tax increment financing
district include all of the following potential revenue sources:
1.Taxes paid by the captured net tax capacity, but excluding any excess taxes, as computed under
M.S., Section 469.177;
2.The proceeds from the sale or lease of property, tangible or intangible, to the extent the property
was purchased by the authority with tax increments;
3.Principal and interest received on loans or other advances made by the authority with tax
increments;
4.Interest or other investment earnings on or from tax increments;
5.Repayments or return of tax increments made to the Authority under agreements for districts for
which the request for certification was made after August 1, 1993; and
Subsection 2-17.Modifications to the District
In accordance with M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 4, any:
1.Reduction or enlargement of the geographic area of the District, if the reduction does not meet the
requirements of M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 4(e);
2.Increase in amount of bonded indebtedness to be incurred;
3.A determination to capitalize interest on debt if that determination was not a part of the original TIF
Plan;
4.Increase in the portion of the captured net tax capacity to be retained by the HRA or City;
5.Increase in the estimate of the cost of the District, including administrative expenses, that will be
paid or financed with tax increment from the District; or
6.Designation of additional property to be acquired by the HRA or City,
shall be approved upon the notice and after the discussion, public hearing and findings required for approval
of the original TIF Plan.
Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority
Tax Increment Financing Plan for the 72nd and France Tax Increment Financing District 2-11
Pursuant to M.S. Section 469.175 Subd. 4(f), the geographic area of the District may be reduced, but shall
not be enlarged after five years following the date of certification of the original net tax capacity by the
county auditor. If a housing district is enlarged, the reasons and supporting facts for the determination that
the addition to the district meets the criteria of M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 11 must be documented in
writing and retained. The requirements of this paragraph do not apply if (1) the only modification is
elimination of parcel(s) from the District and (2) (A) the current net tax capacity of the parcel(s) eliminated
from the District equals or exceeds the net tax capacity of those parcel(s) in the District's original net tax
capacity or (B) the HRA agrees that, notwithstanding M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, the original net tax
capacity will be reduced by no more than the current net tax capacity of the parcel(s) eliminated from the
District. The HRA or City must notify the County Auditor of any modification to the District. Modifications
to the District in the form of a budget modification or an expansion of the boundaries will be recorded in the
TIF Plan.
Subsection 2-18.Administrative Expenses
In accordance with M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 14, administrative expenses means all expenditures of the
HRA or City, other than:
1.Amounts paid for the purchase of land;

Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority
Tax Increment Financing Plan for the 72nd and France Tax Increment Financing District 2-16
Appendix A
Project Description - 7200 / 7250 France Redevelopment
France Equities, LLC is proposing to redevelop a two-parcel site in the City consisting of two aging Class
“C” and structurally substandard office buildings, one of which is vacant due to a condemned parking
structure. Proposed is a mixed-use development consisting primarily of two buildings consisting of
approximately 301 units of mixed income multifamily rental housing and 28,100 square feet of integrated
retail accompanied by an adjacent ten units of owner-occupied town homes within the development. The
development will be located at the intersection of 72nd Street and France Avenue and is intended to fulfill
a portion of the City’s identified goal to provide affordable housing options for those who live and work
within the City.
The developer will demolish the buildings and condemned parking structure to clear the site for
redevelopment. The development will include site water and sanitary sewer utility improvements, area storm
water retention and improvements to 72nd Street. The development will also include approximately 540
below-grade structured parking stalls and 30 enclosed at-grade parking stalls, a portion of which will be
designated as public parking. The developer will also dedicate a significant portion of the site under public
easements to preserve a mature grove of trees and make available extensive public realm and streetscape
improvements designed to be consistent with the goals of the Greater Southdale District Plan.
The proposed rental housing will be within two, 6-story mixed use buildings integrated with the structured
parking element. The rental housing unit mix includes studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-
bedroom units. Sixty-two units of affordable housing are anticipated, all which will be rent and occupancy
restricted to households earning at or below 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI). The affordable units
will be distributed among the studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units and remain for a period of 25
years.
The estimated cost of developing the site, parking, and mixed-use elements is $112 million. Site clearance
is expected to occur in 2019 and new construction is expected to begin in 2020 with completion of the
multifamily and retail buildings by 2023. Development of the for-sale town homes will occur on a
subdivided portion of property connected to the below-grade parking structure with the foundation expected
by 2022. The developer anticipates the vertical construction of the for-sale town homes is anticipated to
occur over a five-year period ending in 2027.
The developer is pursuing grant assistance from Hennepin County, the Metropolitan Council and the
Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development. The Edina HRA proposes to utilize tax
increment to offset a portion of the project’s identified financing gap. The HRA proposes to reimburse the
developer for qualifying costs incurred in the development through the issuance of a $12 million Pay-as-you-
go TIF Note. The TIF Note would be payable over the course of 20 years only as new taxes are paid and
increment is collected from within the district. The HRA and City would bear no obligation to use any other
funds to pay the TIF Note.

Findings for the District
The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the adoption of the Tax Increment Financing Plan
for the 72nd and France Tax Increment Financing District as required pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 3 are as follows:
1.Finding that the 72nd and France Tax Increment Financing District is a housing district as
defined in M.S., Section 469.174, Subdivision 11 and the Special TIF Housing Legislation.
The 72nd and France Tax Increment Financing District (the “District”) consists of two parcels
within the City's Southeast Edina Redevelopment Project Area. The portion of the
development receiving assistance is proposed to be constructed as two mixed-use buildings
containing approximately 301 units of rental housing and at least 20 percent of the units
receiving assistance will have incomes at or below 60 percent of statewide median income.
No more than 20% of the square footage of the buildings will consist of commercial, retail or
other nonresidential uses. Appendices A and E of the TIF Plan contains background for the
above finding.
2.Finding that the proposed development, in the opinion of the City Council, would not
reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably
foreseeable future.
This finding is supported by the fact that the development proposed in the TIF Plan is a
housing district that meets the City’s objectives for redevelopment and is intended for
occupancy by low and moderate-income persons. The existing property contains condemned
structures whose renovation requires high costs related to demolition, remediation and
reconstruction. The development also requires substantial investment toward public
improvement such as local transportation and utility infrastructure and shared parking. Due
to the high cost of building affordable new housing in the City, this project is feasible only
through assistance, in part, from tax increment financing. At least 20% of the assisted housing
units are intended to be both rent and income restricted, and affordable rental revenues alone
are insufficient to make the project economically feasible without public assistance. The
necessity of public assistance is true for most affordable housing developments in Minnesota.
The developer has provided the City its estimated project proforma outlining project source
and uses as well as projected rent, vacancy and financing assumptions. City staff and the
City’s advisors reviewed the information and have determined the project is not feasible
without assistance due to anticipated rent levels and market returns not supporting the
development costs for this site.
3.Finding that the TIF Plan for the 72nd and France Tax Increment Financing District conforms
to the general plan for the development or redevelopment of the municipality as a whole.
The Planning Commission reviewed the TIF Plan and approved Resolution 2019-01 that
affirms that the TIF Plan conforms to the general development plan of the City.
4.Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Plan for the 72nd and France Tax Increment
Financing District will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as
Appendix F-1
a whole, for the development of the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Project Area by private
enterprise.
Through the implementation of the TIF Plan, the HRA and City will provide an impetus for
residential development which is desirable and necessary for increased tax base of the State;
the renovation of substandard property; addressing several of the goals and development
principles identified within the City’s Greater Southdale District Plan and other land use and
development plans; meeting housing needs of people with a variety of incomes and provide
housing that would otherwise not be available.

What is TIF? … The “but for” Test
Original Taxes
Available to All
What is the “but-for“ test?
Before creating a TIF district, a local government must find that in its
opinion the development would not have happened but for the use of TIF
(hence, the term "but-for" test).
What is the purpose of this test?
•To prevent excessive or unnecessary use of TIF – If a development would
have been done anyway, why should TIF be used to assist it?
•To protect the interests of overlapping governmental units (typically
the county and school district). If authorities use TIF for developments that
would be built anyway, TIF diverts potential tax revenue from the county and school to the
development authority and city.

The CITY of EDINA
Edina updated the TIF Policy in 2011.
In Edina, incremental property taxes are typically used to reimburse developer for eligible
expenses after successful completion of the project. This eliminates financial risk to the City.
TIF is considered for use under limited conditions:
1)Projects that deliver measurable benefit to the general public
2)To cover the financial gap of constructing affordable housing
3)To avoid an outdated facility from having a blighting influence on neighboring properties
The amount of TIF pledged is limited to that required to fill a financial gap in the budget.

Proposed TIF Plan – Sources and Uses
The CITY of EDINA
In Conclusion: it is not reasonably expected that the proposed
development with long-term affordable housing will be constructed
without the use of Tax Increment Financing.
•Site qualifies as a Housing TIF District
•- 20% of the new units will be affordably priced
•- At 60% AMI for at least 25 years
•Site plan complies with the City’s general plans for redevelopment
•High construction costs and restricted rental income creates a financial
gap that that hinders the delivery of the proposal
