GEORGE UTIMER
MAYOR
T0: Saint Paul Planning Commis ion
FROM: Economic Development Commi tee
DATE: May 13, 1988
SUBJECT: Amended Redevelopment Plan for the Saint Paul
Neighborhood Redevelopment Project Area
I. INTRODUCTION AND RE UESTED ACT ON
The Saint Paul Neighborhood Re evelopment Plan was originally approved
by the City of Saint Paul in 1 87. In both its original form and its
amended form, this Plan establ shes a Pro�ect Area which qualifies as
a Redevelopment Project and as blighted and deteriorated areas under
the Housing and Redevelopment ct Section 469.002, Subdivision 14; and
as a Redevelopment District un er the Tax Increment Financing Act
Section 469.175, Subdivision 1.
The stated purpose of this Pl and Project is to develop or redevelop
sites, lands or areas within e Project Area in conformance with the
City of Saint Paul's Comprehe sive Plan, and to implement �
recommendations of studies co pleted, in order to implement the City's
Comprehensive Plan. Tax incr ment financing is proposed in a separate
project financing plan as a m �or source of public assistance for most
of the redevelopment within t e Project Area. However, this need not
be the only source of public inancing for the Project.
The original Project and Dist ict consisted of three scattered sites
which had been determined to eet statutory definitions of blighted, •
. deteriorated, underused or in ppropriately used, and to require some
form of public involvement in order for development to occur. When
the original Project and Dist ict were proposed, the Planning
Commission reviewed the Rede lopment Plan for the Project and found
it to be consistent with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan.
. � This report. analyzes the pro osal to amend the Redevelopment Plan by
adding eleven areas or sites to the Project (see attached map) , six of �
� which are now to be included in the Tax Increment Financing District.
Intended developments for th new areas or sites have not been
specif�cally identified. Ge eral development concepts have been
proposed but the prospect of public assistance will be necessary for
more specific proposals to b forthcoming.
It is requested that the Pla ning Commission review the �
appropriateness of the type f development and land use proposed on
the eleven new areas or site , and the impact of such changes on the
1
/ / �/�
v��
� � continued viability of the Sai t Paul Neighborhood Redevelopment
Project. A resolution should e passed stating that the amended
redevelopment plan does not co flict with the Saint Paul Comprehensive
Plan. The resolution should a so require additional Planning
Commission review of projects hich have not yet been specifically
identified for the sites or ar as in question.
II. AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW
This proposal amends an offici 1 Redevelopment Plan initiated by the
HRA Board. Three portions of innesota Statutes Chapter 462 (Housing,
Redevelopment, Planning, and Z ning) provide the relevant authority
for Planning Commission review of the Redevelopment Plan.
Section 462.356, subdv. 2 stat s: "After a comprehensive municipal
plan or section thereof has be n recommended by the planning agency
(Planning Commission) and a co y filed with the governing body, no
publicly owned interest in rea property within the municipality shall
be acquired or disposed of, no shall any improvement be authorized by
the municipality or special di trict or agency thereof. . .until after
the planning agency has revie d the proposed acquisition, disposal,
or capital improvement and re rted in writing to the governing body.
. .its findings as to complia e. . . with the comprehensive municipal
plan." �
Section 469.027 states: "Any erson may submit a redevelopment plan to
an (HRA) authority, or an aut ority may consider a redevelopment plan
on its own initiative. Ar. au hority shall immediately transmit the
plan to the planning agency ( lanning Commission) of the city in which
the area to be redeveloped is situated, for its study. . . An �
authority shall request the w itten opinion �of the planning agency on
all redevelopment plans submi ted to it prior to approving those
redevelopment plans, and the lanning agency shall submit its written
opinion within 30 days."
Section 469.028, subdv. 1 sta es: "When an (HRA) authority determines
that a redevelopment project hould be undertaken, it shall apply to
the governing body of the cit in which the project is located for �
approval. The application sh 11 be accompanied by a redevelopment
plan, a statement of the meth d proposed for financing the project,
and the written opinion of th planning agency (Planning Commission) ."
' III. BACKGROiTND .
• The initial project consiste of development on three sites. Below is '
' a description of initial sit s and the development that has occurred
' on them:
1) Spruce Tree Centre Site
Location: Southwest cor er of the Snelling/University
intersection.
2
����
� � Description: Originally co sisted of deteriorated and obsolete
buildings in an area with utomobile-pedestrian conflicts and a
lack of parking. Redevel ed as a shopping mall with a parking
ramp.
2) Metz Bakerv Area
Location: Between Rice St eet and Park Avenue; and between
Sherburne Avenue and Char es Street.
Description: Originally c nsisted of a mixture of commercial,
residential and vacant st ctures. The most prominent structure
was the Metz Bakery Build ng which could not feasibly be
rehabilitated. Thus far, the Capitol Office Building has been
developed in the area. A so, the renovation of a building by the
Minnesota Women's Center 's occurring. Additional office
development is possible ' the area.
3) Hammond Buildin� Site
Location: North side of niversity Avenue between Prior and
Fairview.
Description: The former ammond Building has been rehabilitated as
an office building, Iris Park Place. �
IV. PROPOSAL SIJNIMARY
The proposal is to retain th following areas/sites:
.
Spruce Tree Centre Site �
Metz Bakery Area
Hammond Building Site
and add these areas/sites:
University Avenue East rea
Rice Street Area
. Prom/3M Site
Concord/Robert Area
Arcade/Payne/East Seven h Street Area
Snelling and University Area
Unisys Site
Hillcrest Shopping Cen r Site , .
, � Texaco. Site
� � West Seventh Street/Gr nd Area '
� Highland/Donaldson's S'te
Each parcel in the proposed expanded project area has been surveyed by
PED Neighborhood Developmen Division staff to determine that the
properties in the Project A ea meet statutory definitions of blighted,
deteriorated, underused or nappropriately used, and that some form of
public involvement is requi ed for development to occur on them. The •
determination of blighted, eteriorated, underused or inappropriately
used property was based on n exterior building conditions evaluation
3
U—oo �
' ° method which has been used in th past to analyze property in other
City redevelopment projects, inc uding the University Avenue/T.H. 280
project. .
The City Attorney has reviewed t e proposed Redevelopment Plan and
supporting documentation and has judged it to be consistent with the
Minnesota Statutes and with othe relevant laws. The Capital
Improvement Budget Committee re ewed the Tax Increment Financing Plan
for the Pro�ect on April 14, 19 8 and determined it to be consistent
with the City's Capital Allocat"on Policy.
Detailed development proposals re not yet available for the new
areas/sites. Consequently, the following review of the amended
Redevelopment Plan focuses only on the appropriateness of the
areas/sites chosen and the tv�e of development expected to occur on
them.
V. REVIEW AGAINST COMPREHENSIVE P --ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
The following principles and p licies from the Economic Development
Strategy component of the Comp ehensive Plan relate closely to the
proposed areas and sites in th amended redevelopment plan:
Development Principle: Th City will continue its policy of �
minimizing, as far as pos ible, its direct financial involvement
in private development p ojects, and will seek a private:public
leverage ratio in accord nce with the current Capital Allocation
Policies.
Development Principle: T x increment financing bonds are a
permissible funding sour e and technique for private projects �
receiving City assistanc .
Policy: Saint Paul shal base its neighborhood commercial
development efforts on recognition of the interdependence
between neighborhood co ercial areas and the adjacent residential
communities.
Policy: Saint Paul shal develop a clear understanding of the
respective roles played by the neighborhoed commercial areas, the
ma�or retail centers, a d the downtown, and should encourage the
complementary developme t of those sectors, and should strongly
discourage proposed de lopments in one sector that would be in
• direct competition wit another sector. .
- Policy: Saint Paul sha 1 continue to target its aid for •
• ne�ghborhood commercia revitalization to the most appropriate
• areas; aid (in the for of financial assistance, public
improvements, and tech ical assistance) should continue to be
targeted to those comm rcial areas in which the need for aid is
demonstrated by the i bility of the private market to generate
its own revitalizatio , in which there is a clear potential for
success and market st ength, and in which there is an evident
commitment by the loc 1 merchants toward their own revitalization,
including investing t eir own capital, and organizing themselves
4
�,._-�'�'"��
{ji�
' into an effective local bu iness organization.
Policy: Saint Paul shall i crease the supply of land available for
commercial/industrial expa sion and development, focusing
attention on specific parc 1 sizes ,and types required.
The proposed areas and sites a e consistent with the above principles
and policies from the Economic Development Strategy. Additional
Planning Commission review wil be necessary to ensure that specific
developments on the proposed a eas and sites conform to the principles
and policies of the Economic D velopment Strategy.
VI. REVIEW AGAINST COMPREHENSIVE P '--LAND USE PLAN D DISTRICT P S
Below is a description of each new area/site and a discussion of the

Redevelopment Authority Board as tentative developer of a new
Minnesota Public Safety Building at Dale and University. Other
developer interest has lso been expressed in this and other
sites in the area.
Land Use Plan and Distr ct Plan(s) : '
Land Use Plan iden ifies this portion of University Avenue '
. as a Mixed Use Str p with Neighborhood Level Clusters at
University/Dale an University/Rice.
District 7 Plan ad ocates commercial/retail uses for
University Avenue etween Lexington and Rice. Sherburne

� Avenue between Le ington and Marion. Aurora Avenue is
identified as res dential, except for commercial nodes at
Dale and Western.
Comment: Proposal is c nsistent with Land Use Plan and District �

�-���
University and Dale. Some potential conflicts between commercial
development on University and residential uses on Sherburne and
Aurora are being addresse in this plan; others can be dealt
with on a ca,se-by-case ba is, �
2) Rice Street Area
Location: Rice Street be een Hatch Street and Sycamore Street.
Land south of Sycamore S reet from Rice Street to Jackson
Street. Some parcels in mpire Builder Industrial Park.

District 6 Plan U date: Encourages the location of new
industries in the Jackson Street Shops area.
Comment: Proposal doe not conflict with Land Use Plan or
District Plans. Howe er, some revisions to these plans would
better reflect the an icipated development at this site.
District 6 now advoca es the redevelopment of residential land
south of Sycamore int light industrial uses. A URAP proposal
' by District 6 receive funding for complementary commercial and •
' residential developme t in the area. This would enable Sycamore
• to function as a clea boundary between residential and '
� industrial uses. The Land Use Plan, the District Plan and the
' Zoning Code should be revised to reflect this perspective.

• III. STATEriEA'T OF OBJECTIVES OF TFiE P,rD� :.LOPPiENT PLAN ' '
. �Y��r
BACKGROUND
(a) Spruce Tree Centre
The Snelling-University inte section is located in the heart of the
Midway area of Saint Paul, dway between downtown Saint Paul and
downtown Minneapolis.
The Midway area grew up alo g the University Avenue street car line,
which connected the two do town. The early 1900s saw the development
of small commercial areas a ong University Avenue to serve ad�acent
neighborhoods. With the gr wing popularity of the sutomobile, however,
the Avenue became an autoao ile rather than neighborhood oriented
commercial strip. The res lt has been commercial development that
conflicts with adjacent ne'ghborhoods, inadequate parking, and
structures that are obsole e. Competition with suburban commercial
centers beginning in the 1 60s has led to vacant and underutilized land
and buildings along Univer ity Avenue, and a deteriorating image.
The Snelling_University i ersection is a focus of the regional
transportation network an has a very high traffic volume. It has
remained an at-grade inte section because of the limitations imposed by
existing development arou d it. The Snelling-University intersection is
the most heavily traveled at-grade intersection in the 1�ain Cities, �
. ��
Heavy vehicular traffic v lume at SneLling-University, a commercial area
originally built around destrians and street cars, has resulted in
dangerous automobile-ped strian conflicts. It has also resulted in
serious air quality prob ems. The Snelling-University intersection is
the only site in the .T�ai Cities region which violates federal carbon •�
monoxide standards.
The Midway area contains major retail� office, industrial� and medical
facilities. The area is second only to the downtown in its importance
to the Saint Paul econo y. The Ttiain Cities Metropolitan Development
Framework point out, ho ever, that considerable' renewal, additions to
its physical plant� and perhaps a transit link with the downtowns will
be required if the Midw y is to remain a major activity center. �
The Development Framewo k recommends selective redevelopment projects
where market analysis i dicates strong potential for community retail-
service centers.
Deteriorated and obsol te buildings at Snelling=University .create an.
� • : . image df a declining c mmercial strip. Aut�mobile-pedestrian conflicts
� . ' and a lack of parking eeps customers away. •Customers and businesses �..
� alike go to more desir ble commercial areas. The result is declining
retail activity and t base, declining employment opportunities, and
mdre deterioration. e deterioration and conflict with residential
land use lowers the v lue of nearby residential areas, as well.
(b) Metz Bakery Area ,
The Metz Bakery Redev lopment site is located in the north capitol
neighborhood which i immediately north of the State Capitol.
11
. . ���a�
The north capitol neighbor ood is one of Saint Paul's oldest
neighborhoods. Initial se tlement occurred in the 1870s spurred on by
street car lines on Univer ity Avenue and Rice Street. The single most
important influence on th neighborhood was the relocation of the State
Capitol at its present si e in 1905.
Currently the neighborhoo is a mixture of residential,
commercial,institutional, and government uses. Bethesda Lutheran
Medical Center, a large a d growing complex, dominates the neighborhood.
The remaining portions of the neighborhood are less stable. The
commercial businesses alo g Rice and University continue to struggle for
an identity. While some esidential areas such as the Winter Street
area have stabilized, the rest of the residential areas are quite
depressed.
` The redevelopment site is a mixture of commercial, residential� and
vacant structures. The m st prominent structure is the old vacant Metz
Bakery Building which is tructurally unrehabable. Fronting on Charles,
Sherburne, and. Park are 1 dilapidated residential structures. The
remainder o�„the site co ists of 5 buildings on Rice Street which house
an assortment of commerci 1 activities.
(c) Hammond Project
The Hammoi►d Project is 1 cated at 1885 University Avenue in the City of
Saint Paul. The Project was undertaken in 1982 as part of the City-wide
Redevelopment Plan adopt d pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 462
(the Municipal Housing a d Redevelopment Act) by the Authority on
October 27, 1981 and by he City Council on October 27, 1981. A Tax
Increment Financing Dist ict was created pursuant to Minr►esota Statutes',
Sections 273.71 through 73.78 (Tax Increment Financing Act) by City
Council Resolution No. C 279109 adopted August 28, 1982, which District
was identified as the T Increment Financing District for Saint Paul
Neighborhood Business De elopment Program.
(d) University Avenue East A ea '
The University Avenue Ea t area is bounded generally by Victoria Street
on the West, Sherburne A enue on the North, Rice Street on the East, and
Aurora Avenue on the Sou h.
A variety of conditions xist that establish the need for including this
. site in the Redevelopmen Plan. Many of the buildings are obsolete.,_
. ' underutilized, contain i appropriate or incompatible land uses. These
, ' building locations are a haphazard manner, preventing new development •
. • by causing high develop ent costs, including site assembly and site '
• , preparation, and renova ion or demolition. For these reasons, the
• private market has been unable to utilize this prime location to its
f�ll advantage.
�
The primary overall dev lopment objective in the University Avenue East
, Redevelopment Plan, whi h is hereby incorporated ir►to the Saint Paul
Neighborhood Redevelopm nt Plan, and is in addition to, is to eliminate
and/or improve those ex sting conditions which serve to impair the
health, safety and gene al welfare of the citizens of the City of Saint
12
�=�'���
. � Paul, and which also serve t inflict an economic blight upon existing
private investment in the ar s, threaten source of public revenue� and
induce members of the surrpu ding neighborhood to no longer consider the
area an attractive place in hich to reside or do business.
(e) Rice Street
The Rice Street area is loc ed within the perimeters of Hatch Street,
Albemarle Street, Sycamore tzeet,-Park Street� Jackson Street and
Empire Park.
The site is a mixture of re idential and commercial uses. Conditions of
the residential units range from msjor deterioration to minor
maintenance with the majori of units requiring substantial work.
Commercial conditions consi t of major deterioration, unoccupied
buildings require minor mai tenance. The basis for including Rice
Street is functionally obs lete commercial structures, dilapidated
residential structures, an conflicting residential commercial uses.
(f) Prom/3M Site
The Prom Sit€ consists of .42 acres boarded by University Avenue on the
north, Griggs on the west, and Dunlap on the east.
� The platt is Midway Indus rial Division Block 1, Lots 1-12; Block 2;
Lots 1-12�; and Block 6, ts 1-12.
.
The site is a commercial se in a B-3 �Zone. It contains one existing
office building and conta ned the old substandard Prom Building which
was demolished to clear t e site for potential development. The Prom
Building was substandard 'n structure and the office building would �
require minor renovation. The site had zero percent of the property '
vacant until the recent emolition of the Prom Building. Currently the
site has one parcel cont ining a building and the other two vacant.
The bases for including he Prom Center site in the Redevelopment Plan
are to remove conditions of blight and deterioration (the old Prom
Building) , to redevelop cquired land in accordance with the
redevelopment plar►, to i crease employment in the municipality, to '
. preserve and enhance a t base of the municipality, and to satisfy the
" redevelopment strategies of the redevelopment strategy section of the
city-wide redevelopment lan.
(g) Concord/Robert
, , • � The Concord/Robert site is located on Saint Paul''s West Side and
• • � includes those parcels ithin one-half block•of Concord Street between •
. Congress and Ada Street . ��
Concord Street is an ag'ng commercial strip with numerous vacant and
di�lapidated structures. Many of the commercial buildings are obsolete
and are a blighting in luence on the area. In some cases,
rehabilitation is infe sible and redevelopment could not be expected to
occur depending solely on private resources. �
-- 13
� � ������
(h) Arcade/Payne/East Seventh treet
The Payne/Arcade/East Seve th Street site consists of approximately 45
acres. The site consists f East Seventh (from Bates to Forest) and
Payne Avenue (from Minneha a to Jenks) and Arcade (from York to the
Burlington hTorthern Railro d Tracks and East to Forest) .
The site is a mixture of B and B3 zoning, along with a large planned
development zoning (Seeger Square) . It contains 158 improved
properties. The site is 9 � utilized by buildings, parking and roads.
The basis for including t Payne/Arcade/East Seventh Street site into
the Redevelopment Distric is to remove blight and deterioration, and to
redevelop acquired land i accordance with the Redevelopment Plan.
(i) Snelling and University
The Midway Center site co sists of approximately 18 acres, bordered by
St. Anthony Avenue on the south, Hamline Avenue on the east, and Spruce
Tree Centre on• the west. The northern boundary is Fry to Sherburne to
Pascal to Uni.�ersity Aven e.
The site is commercial us in a B-2 and a B-3 zone. It contains 14
existing buildings. Of t ese buildings, one is a strip commercial �.
center wl�ich is in need o substantial renovation. Another building is
an ecoiramic, obsolescent ne million square foot warehouse. The rest of
the site is made up of 12 structures, �most of which require substantial
renovation to bring them p to standard. The site is 1008 utilized by
buildings, parking and ro ds. There are no vacant sites within this
district. The basis for 'ncluding the Midway Site into the Neighborhood
Redevelopment Project Are is to remove blight and deterioration, to �.
redevelop acquired land i accordance with the redevelopment plan, to
increase employment in m icipality, to preserve and enhance a tax base
of the municipality, and to satisfy the redevelopment strategies of the
redevelopment section of the City Wide Plan.
(j) Unisys Property � �
The Unisys site consists of the west end of a block bounded by West
Seventh Street, Maynard rive, Stewart and Davern. Within that block
the east boundary is a p operty line running southeast and east of
Davern on West Seventh. A second portion of the site is a 5.11 vacant
parcel in the middle of he block bounded by Stewart, Alton� Shepard
: Road and Davern. .
• The 18.6 acre site is a ixture of commercial and light industrial uses. � ,
• ' An Amoco Service Station and a bar/restaurant occupy approximately
• 43,000 square feet on th north end of the site along West Seventh
� Street. Both buildings re in good condition. Immediately south is an
l�� acre parcel occupied y Minnesota Public Radio's transmission towers
and service building. e southwest corner of MPR site is leased to an
sirport park and ride fi . The site south of Steward is a 5.11 acre
undeveloped parcel immed ately east of the UNYSIS parking lot. The
entire site has solid be rock a few feet below the surface. Twenty-
seven percent of the sit is vacant. The basis for including the
__ 14
' ' V� ov' � " ` �
,: UIr'YSIS/MPR site is the un ru�ilized nature of the site. Part of this
is directly attributable the soil conditions-solid bedrock.
(k) Hillcrest Shopping Center
The Hillcrest Shopping Ce ter is located in the northeast section of the
city and is bounded by Ea t Montana Street on the south, White Bear
Avenue on the west� Larpe teuz on the north and Van Dyke Street and Gary
Place on the east.
T�aenty percent of the sit is vacant and 80$ is occupied by buildings
which comprise a commerci 1 strip center. Hillcrest Center's first
stores date from the late 1940s, with most of the other buildings
completed around 1961.
Hillcrest's aging struct es are in need of renovation and
rehabilitation. In addi ion, the district plan calls for a redesign of
ingress and egress from he parking lots in order to alleviate traffic
problems on White Bear A enue. The plan also identifies a need to
redesign the commercial ignage to eliminate visual clutter and a need
to improve the pedestria environment through lighting and streetscape
improvements--
The Hillcrest site is in need of public improvements such as
landscaping, lighting, s reetscape and redesigned/relocated curb cuts.
Site assembly and/or pre sration of the vacant parcels for development
may be t►ecessary.
(1) Texaco Site
The Texaco Site is in t e southern section of the City of Saint Paul and
is bounded by the river on the south and east, 35E and Hathaway Street •
on the west, and the Mo il Oil Tank Farm on the North.
This 41.4 acre site is urrently the location of a Texaco Oil tank
field. Reuse of the oi tanks themselves is unlikely. Sixty-seven (67)
percent of the tax parc ls are occupied. ' ,
Soil conditions are ext emely problemmatical for this site. •
, Environmental contamina ion has occurred and must be corrected prior to
• any redevelopment acti 'ties. The oil tanks are obsolete and constitute
an underutilization of this property. Private investment alone cannot
be expected to cover a 1 costs of redevelopment. Redevelopment
assistance is needed t rough possible site assembly and/or preparation
of site including soil correction; and could al,so include public •
. improvements (streets, utilities, streetscape and landscaping) . '
: (m) West Seventh Street/Gr nd �
Tk}e West Seventh Stree /Grand area consists of approximately two-and
one-half acres bounded by Grand Avenue on the north� Smith Avenue on the
west, Leech Street on he east and West Seventh Street on the southeast.
The area is characteri ed by fragmented ownership, as well as va�ying
and incompatible land ses, �:hich include office, residential, retail
commercial and automobile services. Eighty percent of the site is
-- 15
, (�1`r�'0 L S�
. � .
' occupied by structures an twenty percent is vacant. Although the area
is bounded by three �ajor traffic carriers (Smith Avenue, Grand Avenue
and West Seventh Street) , it remains underutilized.
It may be necessary to as ist redevelopment in this area through site
assembly and preparation nd public improvements such as lighting and
streetscape improvements. .
, (n) Highland/Donaldson Site
This site is a 5.5 acre p rcel located on the southwest corner of Ford
Parkway and Cleveland Ave ue. this "L" shaped parcel is bounded by Ford
Parkway on the north, CIe eland Avenue on the east, Highland Manor
Apartments on the south a d Highland Village Center on the west. The
property is currently zon d B-3 and is occupied by a three-story
department store building of approximately 90,000 square feet. The
remainder of the site is nderutilized surface parking. The basis for
including the site is the underutilized nature of the parcel.
The Neighborhood Business Devel pment Program identified the need to
revitalize neighborhood commerc al areas. These neighborhood redevelopment
project areas .are to be underta en in neighborhood commercial areas
contemplated by the City-wide R development Plan and Saint Paul Neighborhood
Business Development Program. �.
PLANNING FRAMEWORK
Regional, City and area plans t at address the future of these project areas
from the Twin Cities Metropolit n Development Framework, to the Saint Paul
Comprehensive Plan, to the Univ rsity Avenue Plan, call for.special public- �
private efforts to redevelop an revitalize the areas. �
The District's element of the S int Paul Comprehensive Plan calls for
improvements in the functioning and aesthetics of commercial areas. It
recommends the clustering of bu inesses to facilitate one-stop and comparison
shopping. It also calls for Ci y involvement in prov,iding additional off-
street parking.
The District's element of the S int Paul Comprehensive Plan recognizes that
rehabilitation and redevelopme require closer public-private cooperation
than first-time, new developme t. It recommends that the City undertake a
special district-level economic development plan for the neighborhood
commercial areas.
.' � The Land Use element of the Sa t Paul Comprehensive Plan designates major'
• intersections as a "Major Reta'1 Cluster". It recommends the clustering of �..
� ' compatible mixed land uses in ese areas, and calls for buffering between
� coaunercial and residential are s. The Streets and Highways element of the

appropriate credit risks, and what minimum standards should be required
(proportion of private equity cont ibuted, previous business credit
history, and the like) .

increment financing plan could have an impact are:
- Independent School District No. 6 5, whose boundaries are coterminous
with those of the City of Saint P ul.
- Ccunty of Ramsey, to whose assess d total valuation the City of Saint
Paul contributes about 53�. �
- Housing and Redevelopment Authori y of the City of Saint Paul, which is
the requesting authority. The may be considered as being identical
with the City of Saint Paul for p rposes of this analysis.
- Port Authority of the City of Sai t Paul, whose powers of levy and use
of property tax revenue is limite . For this snalysis, they may be
.- treated the same as the City of S int Paul.
- Metropolitan authorities -- such the Metropolitan Council,
Metropolitan Airport Commission, M tropolitan Transit Commission,
Metropolitan Waste Control Commiss'on, and Metropolitan Mosquito Control
District. Of these metropolitan a thorities, only the Metropolitan ��
. . ,� � Council, Metropolitan Transit Comm ssion and Metropolitan Mosquito
. Control District levy on real esta e. " ��..
Of these overlapping taxing suthorit es, the only two which could be
affected more than nominally by this tax increment financing plan would be
Independent School District 2�0. 625 nd the County of Ramsey.
Assuming captured assessed v�lue at uild-out of $40,295,044, in
accordance with Section K hereof, an a constant 1987 mill rate of 125.4b8�
mills, the district will generate an annual tax increment of $5,055,739.
The percentage of this increment con ributed by the various taxing

jurisdictions, if the development ad occurred without public .
intervention, is shown below.

The following table represents the additional mills that would have to be
levied to compensate for the loss of tax dollars in estimated tax
increments and excess tax increme ts for each taxing jurisdiction. The
tax increments derived from the P oject included in the tax increment
district would not be available to any of the taxing jurisdictions were it .
not for public intervention by the City. Although the increases in • �
assessed value due to development ill not be available for the
application of the mill levy for e duration of the tax increment
financing district, this new assessed value could eventually permit a mill
levy decrease. If it could be ass ed that the captured assessed value
was available for each taxing jur'sdiction the non-receipt of tax dollars
represented as tax increments may e determined. This determination is
facilitated by estimating how muc the mill levy for property outside of
the tax increment financing distr'ct would have to be increased to raise
the same amount of tax dollars in each taxing jurisdiction that would be
available if the projects occurre without the assistance of the City.

Table 2 is relevant only if one a sumes the development would have
occurred without the existence of the district and the development
program. If this assumption is i correct, and the Authority believes it
is, then the only real impact on he assessed values of the other taxing
jurisdictions is:

1. Any inflationary values from t�e district which have been attributable
to the tax base of these taxi jurisdictions will be lost during the

M. MODIFICATIONS
In accordance with Minnesota Stat tes Section 469.175, Subdivision 4, a
tax increment financing plan may e modified by an suthority, provided
that any reduction or enlar ement of geographic area of the project or tax
increment financing dis�rict, inc ease in amount of bonded indebtedness to
be incurred, including a determin tion to capitalize interest on the debt
if that determination was not a p rt of the original plan, or to increase
or decrease the amount of interes on the debt to be capitalized, increase
in the portion of the captured as essed value to be retained by the
suthority, increase in total esti ated tax increment expenditures or
desiQnation of additional propert to be acquired by the authority shall
be approved upon the notice and a ter the discussion, public hearing and
findings required for approval of the original plan; provided that if an
authority changes the type of dis rict from housing, redevelopment or ,
economic development to another t e of district, this change shall not be �'
considered a modification but sha 1 require the suthority to follow the
procedure set forth in Sections 4 9.174-469.179 for adoption of a new
plan, including certification of he assessed valuation of the district by
the county auditor. If a redevel pment district is enlarged, the reasons
and supporting facts for the dete ination that the addition to the
dist�ict meets the criteria of se tion 469.174, subdivision 10, paragraph
(a) , clauses (1) to (5) , must be ocumented. The requirements of this
paragraph do not apply if (1) the only modification is elimination of
parcels from the project or distr ct and (2) (A) the current assessed value
of the parcels eliminated from th district equals or exceeds the assessed
value of those parcels in the dis rict's original assessed value or (B)
the authority agrees that, notwit standing section 469.'177, subdivision 1,
the original assessed value will e reduced by no more than the current
assessed value of the parcels eli inated from the district. The authority
- must notify the county auditor of any modification that reduces or
enlarges the geographic area of a district or a project area.
The geographic area of a tax incr ment financing district may be reduced,
but shall not be enlarged after ive years following the date of
certification of the original ass ssed value by the county suditor or five �.
. . � years from August 1, 1979, for t • increment financing districts
' . ' authorized prior to August 1, 1979. • �..
h. LIMITATION ON DURATION OF TAX IN EMErT FINANCING DISTRICTS
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes S ction 469.176, Subdivision 1, "no tax
increment shall be paid to an au ority three years from the date of
certification by the County Audi or unless within the three-year period
(a) bonds have been issued pursu nt to Section 7 or in aid of a project �
pursuant to any other law, excep revenue bonds issued pursuant to Chapter
474, prior to the effective date of the Act; or (b) the authority has
10
. � � ���
acquired property within the distr'ct; or (c) the suthority has:
constructed or caused to be constr cted public improvements within the
district. . ." The Housing and Rede elopment Authority must therefore issue
bonds, or acquire property, or con truct or cause public improvements to
be constructed by 1991 or the Offi e of the County Auditor may dissolve
the tax increment district.
0. LIMITATION ON QUALIFICATION OF PRO ERTY IN TAX INCREMENT DISTRICT NOT
SUBJECT TO IMPROVEMENT
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Sec ion 469.176, Subdivision 6, if, after�
four years from the date of certif cation of the original assessed value
of the tax increment financing dis rict pursuant to Section 469.177, no
demolition, rehabilitation, constr ction or renovation of property or
other site preparation, including mprovement of a street adjacent to a
parcel but not installation of uti ity service including sewer or water
systems, has been commenced on a p rcel located within a tax increment
financing district by the suthorit or by the owner of the parcel in
accordance with the tax incremer.t inancing plan, no additional tax
increment may be taken from that p rcel, and the original assessed value
of that parcel shall be excluded f om the original assessed value of the
tax increment financing district. If the suthority or the owner of the
parcel subsequently commences demo ition, rehabilitation or renovation or
other site preparation on that par el including improvement of a street
adjacent to that parcel, in accord nce with the tax increment financing
plan, the authority shall certify o the county auditor that the activity
has commenced, and the county audi or shall certify the assessed value
thereof as most recently certified by the commissioner of revenue and add
it to the original assessed value f the tax increment financing district.
For purposes of this subdivision " arcel" means a tract or plat of land
established prior to the certifica ion of the district as a single unit
for purposes of assessment.
P. ANNUAL DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Se tion 469.175, Subdivision S, a city
must file an annual disclosure rep rt for all tax increment financing
districts. The report shall be fi ed with the school board, county board
and the Minnesota Department of Tr de and Economic Development. The
report to be filed by the City Adm nistrator as district administrator
shall include the following inform tion:
. ' 1. The amount and source of reven e in the account; ��
. � 2. The amount and purpose of expe ditures from the account; �
' 3. The amount of any pledge of re enues, including principal and interest
on any outstanding bonded inde tedness;
4. The original assessed value of the district;
5. The captured assessed value re ained by the authority;
6. The captured assessed value sh red with other taxing districts; and
1
. ����
. � �
t
7. The tax increment received.
The annual disclosure report is des gned to'be a two-way medium of
information dissemination for both he Office of the County Auditor and
the City. Should the auditor want dditional information from the
authority regarding its tax increme t financing activities, such
information should be requested pri r to submission of the annual
disclosure report by the authority. Similarly, the authority may utilize
the annual disclosure report as a m ans for requesting information from
the Office of the County Auditor.
Additionally, the suthority must an ually publish a statement in a
newspaper of general circulation i the municipality showing the tax
increment received and expended in hat year, the original assessed value,
the captured assessed value, amoun of outstanding bonded indebtedness and
any additional information the aut ority deems necessary.
Q. REQUIREMENT FOR AGREEMENTS WITH D ELOPER
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Sec ion 469.176, Subdivision 5, no more
than 25 percent, by acreage, of th property to be acquired within a
project which contains a redevelop ent district, or ten percent, by �
acreage, of the property to be acq ired within a project which contains a
housing or economic development di trict, as set forth in the tax
increment financing plan, shall at any time be owned by an authority as a
result of acquisition with the pro eeds of bonds issued pursuant to
Section 469.178 without the author ty having prior to acquisition in
excess of the percentages conclude an agreement for the development or
redevelopment of the property acqu red and which provides recourse for the
authority should the development o redevelopment not be completed.
The agreements are only required i property is to be acquired with bond
proceeds.
R. ASSESSMENT AGREEMENT
.� Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Sec ion 469.177, Subdivision 8, the City
may, upon entering into a developm nt agreement pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes Section 469.177, Subdivis'on 8, enter into an agreement in
recordable form with the developer of property within the tax increment
financing district which establis s a minimum market value of the land
and completed improvements for the duration of the tax increment .
. . � redevelopment district. The assessment agreement shall be presented to
' . ' the county assessor who shall rev'ew the plans and specifications for the ..
' improvements constructed, review e market value previously assigned to
the land upon which the improveme ts are to be constructed and so long as
the minimum market value containe in �he assessment agreement appears in
the judgment of the assessor, to e a reasonable estimate, the assessor
may certify the minimum market va ue agreement.

S. NOTIFICATION OF PRIOR PLANNED IMP OVEMENTS
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Se tion 469.177, Subdivision 4, the
authority shall, after due and di igent search, accompany its request for
certification to the county �udit r pursuant to Subdivision 1, or its
notice of district enlargement pu suant to Section 469.175, Subdivision 4,
with a listing of all properties ithin the tax increment financing
district or area of enlargement f r which building permits have been
issued during the 18 months immed'ately preceding approval of the tax
increment financing plan by the m nicipality pursuant to Section 469.175,
Subdivision 3. The county audito shall increase the original assessed -�
value of the district by the asse sed valuation of each improvement for
which a building permit was issue .
T. ADMINISTRATION OF THE TAX INCRE.*i REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT
Administration of the tax increme t redevelopment district will be handled
by the Housing and Redevelopment thority through the Department of
Planning and Economic Development.
U. TAX INCREMENT FINANCING ACCOL'AITS
The tax increment received as a re ult of increases in the assessed value
of the tax increment redevelopment district parcels will be maintained in
the existing tax increment account by the City Treasurer. The tax
increment account will be separate from all other municipal development
district accounts and grant accou s and expended only upon sanctioned
redevelopment activities iden�ifie in the finance plan as amended.
V. ESTIMATE OF AMOUNT OF BONDED Ih'DEB EDNESS
The City may finance public improv ments and/or site assembly and
preparation in the designated tax 'ncrement district areas by sale of tax
increment bonds. Increment revenu s may be used to furid a debt service
reserve and to pay the costs of an suthorized credit enhancements needed
to market the bonds. This does no preclude the HRA or City from
borrowing funds to meet project co ts. Such borrowing may be repaid from
Tax Increment proceeds.
k'. ST[JDIES AND ANALYSES
. • The Department of Planning and Eco omic Development of the City of Saint '.
' Paul has studied each of the desi ated tax increment district areas and .
- conducted pro forma analyses which indicate that the proposed development
• or redevelopment would not reasona ly be expected to occur solely through
� private investment within the reas nably foreseeable future and therefore
the use of tax increment financing is deemed necessary.

BUILDING CONDI IONS EVALUATION SUMMARY
Methodologv:
The exterior condition of each buil ing within the district was surveyed by
two HRA professional staff who were trained by an HRA staff engineer. Each
building was rated using the forms hown in Attachment 1 and the criteria
listed in Appendix A. Each buildin element was inspected, compared to the
rating criteria for that element in Attachment 2, and ranked from 0 (excellent
condition) to 3 (major deterioratio ) .
The rating of each element was mult plied by a weighting factor ranging from 4
for the principal elements (foundat on, walls, and roof) to 1 for the minor
elements (porches, pavement, signag ) . Building elements which were not
present (such as gutters) were not anked. The evaluator walked around each
building or cluster of buildings so that all exposed walls could be inspected.
The numerical scores were translate into one of three exterior condition
categories: �
Number of Buildings
in District
Good/Minor Deterioration 110 19$ �
Moderate Deterioration 218 39$
Substantial and Major Deterior tion 234 42$
Total 562 100�
Exterior Buildin Condition Cate ori s:
-Good:
Very few or no defects in any of t principal categories (foundation walls,
perimeter walls, and roof) or seco ary categories (all others) . A building
with a composite score of 0 - 6 (in lusive) .
-Minor Deterioration:
, Evidence of minor or moderate deter oration on several secondary condition
� categories including, possibly, min r deterioration on one principal
element. A building with a composi e score of 7 - 15 (inclusive) .
-Moderate Deterioration:
, A combination of minor or moderate eterioration to the principal and
secondary building components. Det rioration is widespread and always ..
' involves deterioration to the princ pal building components. It is usually
economically feasible to rehabilita e a structure in this condition
category. A building with a compos te score of 16 - 34 (inclusive) .
-Major Deterioration:
A building with moderate or major deterioration in two or more of the •
principal components and widespread oderate or minor deterioration to the
balance of the components. Such bui dings are usually not economically
feasible to rehabilitate. The compo ite score is 35 or greater.

AX INC ENT F N CING NEC SI S Y
Staff conducted pro forma analyses on each of the seven proposed tax increment
financing districts. The study wa comprised of a dual pro foraa analysis.
The first pro forma outlined a sce ario where the total pro3ect would be
financed privately. The second pr forma consisted of a private/public
partnership approach and how it re ated to the economics of each individual
development. These analyses are o file.
The pro forma analyses for� each in ividual area clearly point out the need for
public participation. This findin is based on a series of key ratios and
pro�ect indicators: rate of return, cash flow after financing, cash flow
after taxes, internal rate of retur , cash on cash and breakeven analysis.
The pro forma analyses point to the following conclusions:
- e ts -
The historic rental rates in Saint Paul's neighborhood commercial
districts are not sufficient to support highest and best use
redevelopment.
-H�g,h Cost of Land Assemblv
Saint Paul's neighborhood co ercial areas are built-up, which
attributes to a high cost of and assembly. The land assembly cost
includes not only land cost, ut also the expense of acquiring a
building (which the seller be ieves has value) , demolision of that
building and site preparation Therefore, the overall land cost for
redevelopment is increased si ificantly.
-Soil Conditions
The ma�ority of Saint Paul's eighborhood commercial areas are built-
up, but vacant areas exist be ause of unusual soil conditions. These
add significantly to the cost of development.
-�ublic Improvements
New development requires infra tructure improvements such as roads,
traffic pattern improvements, raffic signals, sewers, storm water
retention, lighting and other ublic improvements. Because of high
land costs and depressed renta rates, the development cannot support
all the necessary public impro ements. Therefore, the public sector's
role is one of providing this ritical element in the private/public
partnership formula.
In summary, the pro forma analyses ha demonstrated that the proposed
development or redevelopment would not reasonably be expected to occur solely
through private investment within the easonably foreseeable future and
therefore the use of tax increment fin ncing is deemed necessary.
