Recitals. 1.01. The Board of Commissioners of the Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority (the "HRA") have heretofore established the Southeast Edina Redevelopment Project Area (the "Project Area") and adopted a Redevelopment Plan therefor and established the Southdale 2 Tax Increment Financing District (the "District") and adopted the Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "TIF Plan") therefor. It has been proposed that the City approve Modification #4 to the TIF Plan (the "Modification") pursuant to and in conformity with applicable law, including Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.001 to 469.047 and Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, all inclusive, as amended, (the "Act") and Minnesota Session Laws 2014, Chapter 308, Article 6, Section 8, as amended by Minnesota Session Laws 2017, First Special Session Chapter I, Article 6, Sections II and 16, and Minnesota Session Laws 2019, First Special Session Chapter 6, Article 7, Section 3 (the "Special TIF Housing Legislation") all as reflected in the Modification, and presented for the Council's consideration. 1.02. The substantive change within the Modification includes increasing the estimate of budgeted expenditures for project costs that will be paid or financed using District funds. 1.03. The HRA and City have investigated the facts relating to the Modification and have caused the Modification to be prepared. 1.04. The HRA and City have performed all actions required by law to be performed prior to the adoption and approval of the proposed Modification, including, but not limited to, notification of Hennepin County and Independent School Districts No. 273 and No. 280 having taxing jurisdiction over the property within the District, a review of and written comment on the Modification by the City Planning Commission, adoption of the Modification by the HRA on August 26, 2021, and the holding of a public hearing upon published notice as required by law. 1.05. The City is not modifying the boundaries of the Project Area. 1.06. The City is not modifying the boundaries nor term of the District. CITY OF EDINA 4801 West 50th Street • Edina, Minnesota 55424 Resolution 2021-79 Page 2 Section 2. Findings for the Modification. 2.01. The Council hereby reaffirms the original findings for the District, namely that when the District was established it is in the public interest and is an "economic development district" under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469. I74, Subd. 12 of the Act. 2.02. In addition, the City makes the following findings: (a) The Modification conforms to the general plan for development or redevelopment of the City as a whole. The reason for supporting this finding is that the Modification will generally complement and serve to implement policies adopted in the City's comprehensive plan. (b) The Modification will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of the Project Area by private enterprise. The reason for supporting this finding is that the development activities are necessary so that development and redevelopment by private enterprise can occur within the Project Area. (c) The development and redevelopment efforts requiring assistance, in the opinion of the City, would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and therefor the use of tax increment financing is deemed necessary. Section 3. Public Purpose. 3.01. The adoption of the Modification conforms in all respects to the requirement of the Act and will help fulfill a need to develop an area of the City which is already built up, to provide housing opportunities, to improve the tax based and to improve the general economy of the State and thereby serves a public purpose. Section 4. Approval and Adoption of the Modification; Filing. 4.01. The Modification, as presented to the Council on this date, including without limitation the findings and statements of objectives contained therein, are hereby approved, ratified, established, and adopted and shall be placed on file in the office of the HRA Executive Director. 4.02. The staff of the City, the City's advisors and legal counsel are authorized and directed to proceed with the implementation of the Modification and to negotiate, draft, prepare and present to this Council for its consideration all further plans, resolutions, documents and contracts necessary for this purpose. 4.03 The HRA Executive Director is authorized and directed to file a copy of the Modification with the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Revenue, the Office of the State Auditor and Hennepin County Auditor pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 469.175, Subd. 4a.
