III. STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES OF THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN BACKGROUND (a) Spruce Tree Centre The Sneliing-University intersection is located in the heart of the Midway area of Saint Paul, midway between downtown Saint Paul and downtown Minneapolis. The Midway azea grew up along the University Avenue street car line, which connected the two downtowns. The early 1900's saw the development of small commercial areas along University Avenue to serve adjacent neighborhoods. With 14 o�-��y � the growing popularity of the automobile, however, the Avenue became an automobile rather than neighborhood oriented commercial strip. The result has been commercial development that conflicts with adjacent neighborhoods, inadequate parking, and stnxctures that are obsolete. Competition with suburban commercial centers begiuuing in the 1960's has led to vacant and underutilized land and buildings along University Avenue, and a deteriorating image. The Snelling-University intersection is a focus of the regional transportation network and has a very lugh traffice volume. It has remained an at-grade intersection because of the lnnitations imposed by e�sting development around it. The Snelling-University intersection is the the most heavily traveled at-grade intersection in the Twin Cities. Heavy vehicular traffice volume at Snelling-University, a commercial area originally built around pedestrians and street cars, has resulted in dangerous automobile-pedestrian conflicts. It has also resulted in serious air quality problems. The Snelling-UniversiTy intersection is the only site in the Twin Cities region which violates federal carbond monoxide standards. The Midway area contains major retail, office, industrial, and medical facilities. The azea is second only to the downtown in its importance to the Saint Paul economy. The Twin Cities Metropolitan Development Framewark point out, however, that considerable renewal, additions to its physical plant, and perhaps a transit link with the downtowns will be required if the Midway is to remain a major acCiviry center. The Development Framewark recommends selective redevelopment projects where market analysis indicates strong potential for community retail-service centers. Deteriorated and obsolete building at Sneliing-L3niversity create an image of a declining commercial strip. Automobile-pedestrian conflicts and a lack of parking keeps customer away. Customers and businesses a like go to more desirabie commercial areas. The result is declining retail activity and tax base, declining employxnent opportunities, and more deterioration. The deterioration and confluct with residenrial land use lowers the value of nearby residential areas as well. (b) Metz Bakery Area The Metz Bakery Redevelopment site is located in the north captiol neighborhood 15 o��i�y which as unmediately north of the State Capitol. The north capitol neighborhood is one of Saint Paul's oldest neighborhoods. Initiai seetlement ocurred in the 187Q's spurred on by street caz lines on University Avenue and Rice Street. The single most important inftuence on the neighborhood was the relocation of the State Capitol at its present site in 1905. Currently the neighborhood is a mixYure of residential, commercial, institutional, and government uses. Bethesda Lutheran Medical Center, a large and growing compiex, dominates the neighborhood. The remaining portions of the neighborhood aze less stable. The commercial businesses along Rice and University continue to struggle for an identity. While some residential area such as the Winter Street area haue stabilized, the rest of the residential areas are quite depressed. The redevelopment site is a mixture of commercial, residential, and vacant structures. The most prominent structure is the old vacant Metz Bakery Building which is st�ucturally unrehabable. Fronting on Charles, Sherburne, and Park are 12 dilapidated residential structures. The remainder of the site consists of 5 buildings on Rice Street which house an asortment of commercial activities. (c) Hammond Project The Hamniond Project is located at 1885 University Avenue in the City of Saint Paul. The Project was undertaken in 1982 as part of the City-wide Redevelopment Plan adopted pursuant to Minnesota StaYutes Chapter 462 (the Municipal Housing and Redevelopment Act) by the Authority on October 27, 1981 and by the City Council on October 27, 1981. A Tax Increment Financing District was created pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Sections 273.71 through 273.78 (Taa� Increment Financing Act) by City Council Resolution No. 279109 adopted August 28, 1982, which DistrSct was identified as the Tas Increment Financing District for Saint Paul Neighborhood Business Development Program. (d) UniversityAvenueEastArea The University Avenue East Area is bounded generally by Victoria Street on the west, Sherburne Avenue on the north, Rice Street on the east, and Aurora Avenue on the south. A variety of conditions exist that establish the need for including this site in the Redevelopment Plan. May of the buildings aze obsolete, undenxtilized, contain inappropriate or incompatible land uses. These building locations are in a 16 D{-llyN haphazard manner, preventing new development by causing high development costs, including site assembly and site preparation, and renovafion ar demolition. For these reasons, the private market has been unable to utilize this prime location to its full advantage. The primary overall development objective in the University Avenue East Redevelopment Plan, which is hereby incorporated into the Saint Paul Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan, and is in addition to, is to elirrvnate and/or improve those e�sting condtions which serve to impair the health, safety and general welfaze of the citizens of the City of Saint Paul, and which also serve to inflict an economic blight upon existing private investment in the area, threaten source of pubiic revenue, and induce members of the surrounding neighborhood to no longer consider the area an attractive place in which to reside or do business. (e) Rice Street The Rice Street azea is located within the perimeters of Hatch Street, Albemazle Street, Sycamore Street, Park Street, Jackson Street and Empire Park. The site is a mixture of residential and commercial uses. Conditions of the residential units range from major deterioration to minor maintenance with the majority of units requuing substantial work. Commercial conditions consist of major deterioration, unoccupied buiidings require minor maintenance. The basis for including Rice Street is functionaily obsolete commercial structures, dilapidated residential structures, and conflicting residential commercial uses. (� Prom/3MSite The Prom Site consists of 5.42 acres boarded by University Avenue on the north, Griggs on the west, and Dunlap on the east. The platt is Midway Industrial Division Block 1, Lofs 1-12; Block 2, Lots 1-12; and Block 6, Lots 1-12. The site is a commercial use in a B-3 Zone. It contains one existing office building and contained the old substandard Prom Building which was demolished to cleaz the site for potential development. The Prom Building was substandard in shucture and the office building would require minor renova6on. The site had zero percent of the property vacant until the recent demolition of the Prom Building. Currently the site has one parcel containing a building and the other two vacant. The basis for including the Prom Center site in the Redevelopment Plan are to 17 a �-��94 remove conditions of biight and deteriorafion (the oid Prom Building), to redevelop acquired land in accordance with the redevelopment plan, to increase employment in the municipaliiy, to preserve and enhance a tax base of the municipality, and to satisfy the redevelopment strategies of the redevelopment strategy section of the city-wide redevelopment plan. ... _.. -- - -- -"- -- - - - --- -- -- - '- -- -- -- - -:- ---- - -- - - -- -- ------- - -.�.�e�- - - - - ---- --- - -- - -' ---- - - - - -- - ---- --- - -- - --- - - (h) Arcade/Payne/East Seventh Srieet The PaynelArcadelEast Seventh Street site consists of approximately 45 acres. The site consists of East Seventh (from Bates to Forest) and Payne Avenue (from Minnehaha to 3enks) and Arcade (from York to the Burlington Northern Railroad Tracks and East to Forest). The site is a mixture of B2 and B3 zoning, along with a large planned development zoning (Seeger Squaze). It contains 158 improved properties. The site is 90% utilized by buildings, parking and roads. The basis for including the Payne(Arcade/East Seventh Street site into the Redevelopment District is to remove blight and deterioration, and to redevelop acquired land in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan. (i) Snelling and University The Midway Center site consists 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 University Avenue. The site is commercial use in a B-2 and a B-3 zone. It contains 14 e�sting buildings. Of these buildings, one is a strip commercial center which is in need of substantial renovation. Another building is an economic, obsolescent one million m b�-�ty� square foot wazehouse. The rest of the site is made up of 12 structures, most of which require substantial renovation to bring them up to standazd. The site is 100% utilized by buildings, parking and roads. There are no vacant sites within this district. The basis for inciuding the Midway Site into the Neighborhood Redevelopment Project Area is to remove blight and deterioration, to redevelop acquired land in accordance with the redevelopment plan, to increase employment in municipality, to preserve and enhance a tas base of the municipality, and to satisfy the redevelopment strategies of the redevelopment secfion of the City Wide Plan. The Snelling/University site consists of approximately 80 acres, bordered by St. Anthony Avenue on the south, Snelling and Spruce Tree Centre on the west. Sherbume and University Avenues on the north, and Hamline on the east. The site contains thiriy-five structures, four of which aze located on the Midway Shopping Center parcel and two of which are located on the Montgomery Ward's parcel. The zoning of the site is a mixture of B-2, Community Business Aistrict; B-3, General Business District; I-1, Tndustrial District; and a PD, Planned Development (Spruce Tree Centre). One residential shucture, containing 16 dwelling units, is located in the area. The remainder of the structures aze in non- residential use. The site is fully utilized by buildings, parking lots and roads. The strip commercial center is in need of substantial renovation. Another building is an uneconomical, obsolescent one million squaze foot warehouse. A third structure is used as a bus garage and storage yazd. The area has been recognized as serving as a regional shopping center. However, a significant amount of existing floor area is not being utilized as retail, but rather exists as underutilized warehouse, gazage or storage yard. It is felt that the subregional shopping center development proposal on the Wards block will spur development on the vacant land currently located behind the Midway Shopping Center. The basis for including the Snelling/Universiry site in the Neighborhood Redevelopment Project Area is to remove blight and deterioration, to redevelop acquired 1and in accordance with the redevelopment plan, to alter the 1and use pattern of underutilized struciures, to increase employment in the municipality, to preserve and enhance a taY base of the municipality, and to satisfy the redevelopment strategies of the redevelopment section of the City Wide Plan. (j) Unisys Property 19 a -�� The Unisys site consists of the west end of a biock bounded by West Seventh Street, Maynard Drive, Stewart and Davern. Within that block the east boundary is a property line rn„ning southeast and east of Davern on West Seventh. A second portion of the site is a 5.11 vacant parcel in the middle of the block bounded by Stewart, Alton, Shepazd Road and Dauern. The 18.6 acre site is a miYture of commercial and light industrial uses. An Amoco Service Station and a bazhestaurant occupy appro�mately 43,000 square feet on the north end of the site along West Seventh Street. Both buildings aze in good condition. Immediately south is an 11 acre parcel occupied by Minnesota Public Radio's transmission towers and service building. The southwest corner of MPR site is leased to an airport park and ride firm. The site south of Stewazd is a 511 acre undeveloped parcel immediately east of the UNISYS parking lot. The entire site has solid bedrock a few feet below the surface. Twenty-seven percent of the site is vacant. The basis for including the LTNISYS/NIPR site is the underutilized nature of the site. Part of this is directly amibutable to the soil conditions-solid bedrock. (k) Hillcrest Shopping Center The Hillcrest Shopping Center is located in the northeast section of the city and is bounded by East Montana Street on the south, White Bear Avenue on the west, Larpenteur on the north and Van Dyke Street and Gary Piace on the east. Twenty percent of the site is vacant and 80% is occupied by buildings which comprise a commercial strip center. Hillcrest Center's first stores date from the late 1940's, with most of the other buildings completed around 1961. Hillcrest's aging structures aze in need of renovation and rehabilitation. In addition, the district plan calls for a redesign of ingress and egress from the pazking lots in order to aileviate traffic problems on White Beaz Avenue. The plan alsa identifies a need to redesign the commercial signage to eliminate visuai clutter and a need to improve the pedestrian environment through lighting and streetscape improvements. The Hillcrest site is in need of public improvements such as landscaping, lighting, streetscape and redesigned/relocated curb cuts. 5ite assembly and{or preparation of the vacant parcels for development may be necessary. 20 (l) Tzraco Site The Texaco site is in the 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 Mobil Oil Tank Fann on the North. This 41.4 acre site is curtently the location of a Texaco Oil Tank field. Reuse of the oil tanks themselves is unlikely. Si�ty-seven (67) percent of the tax pazcels aze occupied. Soil conditions aze ea-tremely problematical for tius site. Environmental contamination has occurred and must be conected prior to any redevelopment activities. The oil tanks aze obsolete and constitute an underutilization of this properiy. Private inveshnent alone cannot be expected to cover all costs of redevelopment. Redevelopment assistance is needed through possible site assembly andior prepararion of site including soil correction; and could also include public improvements (streets, utilities, streetscape and landscaping). (m) West Seventh Street/Grand The West Seventh StreeUCrrand area consists of approximately 2.5 acres bounded by Grand Avenue on the north, Smith Avenue on the west, Leech Street on the east and West Seventh Street on the southeast. The area is chazacterized by fragmented ownership, as well as varying and incompatible land uses, which include office, residential, retail commercial and automobile services. Eighty percent of the site as occupied by structures and twenty percent is vacant. Although the area is bounded by three major traffic carriers (Smith Avenue, Grand Avenue and West Seventh Street), it remains underutilized. It may be necessary to assist redevelopment in this area through site assembly and preparation and public improvements such as lighting and streetscape improvements. (n) Highland/Dona[dson Site This site is 5.5 acre pazcel located on the southwest corner of Ford Parkway and Cleveland Avenue. This "L" shaped parcel is bounded by Ford Pazkway on the north, Cleveland Avenue on the east, Highland Manor Apartrnents on the south and Highland Village Center on the west. The property is currently zoned B-3 and is occupied by a three-story department store building of approximately 90,000 square feet. The remainder of the site is underutilized surface pazking. The basis 21 oh/l�l`� for including the site is the underutilized nature of the parcel. (o) Phalen Village The Phalen Village area consists of approximately 165 acres and is generally bounded by Johnson Parkway on the west, Hazelwood on the east, the Clucago Northwestern railroad tracks on the south and Ivy on the north. The site is located in the northeast section of the city. The site contains approxnnately 80 structures consisting of commercial, single- family and multi-family uses. Approximatelq 7% of the site is vacant land. The basis for including the Phalen Village site in the Redevelopment Plan is to remove conditions of blight and deterioration, to increase employment in the municipality, to preserve and enhance a taY base of the municipality, and to foster the creation and enhancement of housing. The Neighborhood Business Development Program identified the need to revitalize neighborhood commercial areas. These neighborhood redevelopment project areas are to be undertaken in neighborhood commercial areas contemplated by the City-wide Redevelopment Plan and Saint Paul Neighborhood Business Development Program. PLANIVING FRAMEWORK Regional, City and area plans that address the future of these project areas from the Twin Cities Metropolitan Development Framework, to the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan, to the University Avenue Plan, call for special public-private efforts to redevelop and revitalize the areas. The District's element of the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan calls for improvements in the functioning and aesthetics of commercial areas. It recommends the clustering of businesses to facilitate one-stop and compazison shopping. It also calls for City involvement in providing additional off-street parking. The District's element of the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan recognizes that rehabilitation and redevelopment require closer public-private cooperation than first-time, new development. It recommends that the City undertake a special district-level economic development plan for the neighborhood commercial areas. The Land Use element of the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan designates major intersections as a "Major Retail Cluster". It recommends the clustering of compatible mixed land uses in these azea, and calls for buffering between commercial and residential areas. The Streets and Highways 22 c� •��yy element of the Comprehensive Plan recommends the use of streets to shape land use pattems and provide buffers between different types of land use. These project areas are a part of Saint Paul's continuing effort to revitalize the City's neighborhood commercial strips. PURPOSE The purpose of this Redevelopment Plan is (a) to strengthen major commercial-office clusters; (b) to encourage office, commerciai, and institutional redevelopment in areas; (c) to develop and redevelop properly within the redevelopment areas which qualify as blighted and deteriorated under the Housing and Redevelopment Act, Section 469.002 Subd. 11 and 13 (1), as underused or inappropriately used land or space under Section 469.002 Subd. 13 (3) and (6), and as a redevelopment or economic district under the Ta;� Increment Financing Act, Section 469.174 Subd. 10; (d) to assist in the undertaking of a Redevelopment Project as defined in SectSon 469.002 Subd. 13 (1), (3), (4), (5), and (6). OBJECTIVES The primary overall development objective of this Redevelopment District is to eliminate and/or improve those existing conditions which serve to impair the health, safety and general welfare o£ the citizens of the City of Saint Paul, and which also serve to inflict an economic blight upon existing private investment in the District, threaten the source of public revenue, and induce many members of the surrounding neighborhood to no longer consider the area an attractive place in which to reside or do business. The conditions which have been found to exist which cause the above noted factors include unsafe and unsanitary housing conditions, building obsolescence or fau1Ty arrangement in building design or improvement and deleterious land use. The primary objective of this Redevelopment Plan is to remove andlor improve the conditions noted above through public intervention so that private enterprise will achieve the means and encouragement to provide both housing and commercial revitalization to the area. Additional general development objectives related to the above are: Establishing cooperafion among the many different groups that can and must wark together to improve the area. Business, properiy owners, bankers, local officials, business groups and citizen councils must work together to continuously promote and improve the district. 2. Creating and marketing a positive image of the district to attract new customers and investors. 3. Enhance the visual quality of the district by improving the elements of the environment; buildings, storefronts, vacant parcels, landscaping, signs, 23 DI 1/`/��/ merchandising displays and promotional material all need to be addressed. 4. Economic diversification, recruiting of new and varied store types to provide a balanced retail mix. Conversion of unused space and 'unproving the competitiveness of e�sting businesses in the district. Specific objectives to be achieved within the context of the foregoing are as follows: To carry out a comprehensive plan of rehabilitation, conservation and redevelopment which will create and maintain a sound commercial and residential community. To remove blight and conditions of deterioration by: a. acquisition and removal of shucturally substandazd buildings. b. acquisition and elimina6on of obsolete buildings which aze not capable of rehabilitation, are improperly converted, or which create conflicting land uses or ather blighting influences. c. undeitaking a program of code enforcement with the appropriate City departments to ensure that hazazdous conditions are either conected trough rehabilitation or eliminated through demolition. d. to carry out a public program of acquisition and rehabilitation of deficient buildings; to demonstrate feasibility of rehabilitation; to provide relocation resources for families and businesses displaced by project activities. e. to provide adequate redevelopment sites for residential and commercial uses, and encourage new private investment and participation of redevelopment of these uses by members of the community. To coordinate acquisition, site preparation and improvements and facilities, and to spread and equalize the costs thereof, in order to accomplish the entire project development at a cost reasonably related to the public purpose to be served. 4. To provide private developers with information regarding zoning; land use controls and other Cily and Plan requirements; informafion and assistance in obtaining construction and permanent fmancing; information and assistance regarding construction of site and public improvements and measures necessary to correct site conditions, all in accordance with development agreements. 5. To fmance development by a combination of private and public financing under 24 o��1�F authority and subject to the requirements of federal, state and local law and ordinance for the provision of revenue bond financing. 6. To provide such public improvements as aze necessary to stimulate private inveshnent and reinvestment in the redevelopment areas. 7. To maintain and strengthen employment opportw�ities, services, and t� base by attracting retail businesses, personal and professional services, and offices. To reduce automobile-pedesri conflicts and create more attractive pedesh oriented environments. 9. To provide adequate parking in the redevelopment azeas and to encourage the joint use of shared paxking facilities. 10. To redevelop the area in conformance with the City's Comprehensive Plan and the Capitol Area Architectural and Planning Board's Comprehensive Plan. 11. To utilize public fmancial resources in a manner that is in conformance with the City's adopted Capitol Allocation Policies. IV. REDEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES Historically, the role of the public sector in urban redevelopment has been to provide controls and incentives in order to encourage and obtain needed development. In order to counteract a combination of adverse economic conditions, patterns of investment and reinvestment, and physical environmental conditions wl�ich have worked to the detriment of the redevelopment of aging, built urban azeas, this role has been changing to one of an active partner and participant in needed redevelopment. This plan envisions the permitted use of a11 techniques or powers currently authorized through applicable statutes. No provision of this plan is to be taken to limit the full exercise of these powers. This plan envisions the permitted use of all techniques or powers authorized through Minnesota Statutes 469.001 through 469.043, 469.172 through 469181 and Chapter 469.152 tlu�ough 469.165 by the City and HRA, or other public agencies as appropriate and necessary to carry out the implementation of this Plan.

III, STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES OF THE REDEVELOPVIENT PLAN BACKGROUND (a) Spruce Tree Ce�itre The Snellin�-University intersection is located in the heart of the Midway area of Saint Paul, midway between do��ntown Saint Paul and do�� ntown Minneapolis. The Midway area grew up alona the University Avenue street car line, which connected the two downtowns. The early 1900's saw the development of smail commercial areas along University Avenue to serve adjacent neighborhoods. With . 14 oi-i��y � the growin� popularity of the automobile, however, the A��enue became an automobile rather than nei�hborhood oriented commercial strip. The result has been coiilmercial development that conflicts �vith adjacent nei�hborhoods, inadequate parking, and structures that are obsolete. Competition with suburban land and build n abon�nUnive sity Avenue, and a deterio ating im a e tilized The Snellin�-University intersection is a focus of the re�ional transportation network and has a very high traffice volume. It has remained an at-�rade intersection because of the limitations imposed by existing development around it. The Snelling-University intersection is the the most hea��ily traceled at-grade intersection in the Twin Cities. Heavy vehicular traffice volume at Snellina University, a commercial area originally built around pedestrians and street cars, has resulted in dan�erous automobile-pedestrian conflicts. It has also resulted in serious air quality problems. The Snellin�-Uni��ersity intersection is the only site in the Twin Cities region which violates federal carbond monoxide standards. The Midway area contains major retait, office, industrial, and medical facilities. The area is second only to the downtow'n in its importance to the Saint Paul economy. The Twin Cities Metropolitan Developn7e�zt Frame��'ork point out, � however, that considerable renewal, additions to its pllysical plant, and perhaps a transit link ��'ith the downYO��ns will be required if the Nlidway is to remain a majos activity center. Tlle Development Framework recommeno ential for com nunotp}Ilretail�- oJrvice where market analysis indicates stron� p centers. Deteriorated and obsolete building at Snelling-University create an image of a declining commercial strip. Automobile-pedestrian conflicts and a lack of parking keeps customer away. Customers and businesses a like �o to more desirable commercial areas. The result is declining retail activity and tas base, declining employment opportunities, and more deterioration. The deterioration and confluct with residential land use lo�tiers the value of nearby residential areas as well. (b) Metz Bakery Area The Metz Bakery Redevelopment site is located in the north captiol neighborhood . I� OI -II �/�f � i � (c) (d) ��liich is immediately north of the State Capitol. The north capitol neighborhood is one of Saint Paul`s oldest neighborhoods. Initial seetleinent ocurred in the 1870's spurred on by street car lines on University Avenue and Rice Street. The single most important influence on the neighborhood �vas the relocation of the State Capitol at its present site in 190�. Currently the neighborhood is a mi�ture of residential, commercial, institutional, and government uses. Bethesda Lutheran Medical Center, a large and growin� complea, dominates the neighborhood. The remaining portions of the neighborhood are less stable. The commercial businesses along Rice and University continue to struggle for an identity. While some residential area such as the Winter Street area have stabilized, the rest of the residential areas are quite depressed. Tlte redevelopment site is a mixturz of commercial, residential, and vacant structures. The most prominent structure is the old ��acant Metz Bakery Buildin� �vhich is structurally unrehabable. Frontin� on Charles, Sherburne, and Park are 12 dilapidated residential structures. The remainder of the site cor.sists of 5 buildin�s on Rice Street which house an asortment of commercial activities. Hn�rtn:ond Project The Hammond Project is located at 1885 University Avenue in the City of Saint Paul. The Project �vas undertaken in 1982 as part of the City-«'ide Redevelopment Plan adopted pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 462 (the Municipal Housing and Redevelopment Act) by the Authority on October 27, 1981 and by the City Council on October 27, 1981.

Universiry Avertue EastArea The Uni��ersity A�enue East Area is bounded generally by Victoria Street on the ��est, Sherburne Avenue on the north, Rice Street on the east, and Aurora Avenue on the south. A variety of conditions exist that establish the need for including this site in the Redevelopment Plan. May of the buildings are obsolete, underutilized, contain inappropriate or incompatible land uses. These building locations are in a 16 o�-i�µy � remove conditions of blight and deterioration (the old Prom Building), to redevelop acquired land in accordance w�ith the rede�'elopment plan, to increase employment in the municipality, to preserve and enhance a tax base of the municipality, and to satisfy the redevelopment strate�ies of the redevelopment strategy section of the city-w�ide redevelopment plan. , .._,. . : - - . _ _ +- -- - - - . - - - - . -�..... � (k) Arcade/Pay�ie/East Seventlt Streef � The Pay�ne/Arcade/East Seventh Street site consists of appro�imately 45 acres. The site consists of East Seventh (from Bates to Forest) and Payne Avenue (from Minnehaha to Jenks) and Arcade (from York to the Burlington Northem Kailroad Tracks and East to Forest). The site is a mixture of B2 and B3 zoning, alon� ��'ith a large planned development zoning (Seeger Square). It contains 1�3 improved properties. The site is 90% utilized by buildinas, parkino and roads. The basis for including the Payne/Arcade/East Secenth Street site into the Redevelopment District is to remove bli�ht and deterioration, and to redevelop acquired land in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan. (i) Snelli�:g ar:d University The Midway Center site consists of approximately 18 acres, bordered by St. Anthony Avenue on the south, Hamline Aw�enue on the east, and Spruce Tree Centre on the west. The northem boundary is Fry to Sherburne to Pascal to University Avenue. The site is commercial use in a B-2 and a B-3 zone. It contains 14 existin� buildings. Of these buildings, one is a strip commercial center which is in need of � substantial renovation. Anothzr building is an economic, obsolescent one million 18 a /- ��Sly • square foot «�arehouse. The rest of the site is made up of 12 structures, most of �r�hich require substantial renovation to brin� them up to standard. The site is 100% utilized by buildin�s, parkins and roads. There are no vacant sites �vithin this district The basis for includin� the Midway Site into the Nei�hborhood Redevelopment Project Area is to remove bli�ht and deterioration, to redevelop acquired ]and in accordance with the rede��elopment plan, to increase employnient in municipality, to preserve and enhance a tax base of the municipality, and to satisfy the redevelopment strate�ies of the redevelopment section of the City Wide Plan. The Snellin�/Uni��ersity site consists of approximately 80 acres, bordered by St. Anthony Avenue on the south, Snelling and Spruce Tree Centre on the west. Sherburne and liniversity Avenues on the north, and Hamline on the east. The site contains thirty-five struchires, four of which are located ou tlie Midway Shoppin� Center parcel and t�vo of which are located on the Montgomery Ward's parcel. The zonina of the site is a mixture of B-2, Community Business District; B-3, General Business District; I-1, Industrial District; and a PD, Planned De� elopinent (Spruce Tree Centre). One residential structure, containina 16 d�celling units, is located in the area. The remainder of the structures are in non- residential use. � The site is fully utilized by bulldings, parking lots and roads. The strip commercial centu is in need of substantial renovation. Another buiiding is an uneconomical, obsolescent one million square foot �varehouse. A third structure is used as a bus garase and stora�e yard. The area has been recognized as serving as a regional shopping center. However, a significant amount of existine floor area is not being utilized as retail, but rather exists as underutilized warehouse, garage or storage yard. It is felt that the subregional shoppin� center devetopment proposal on the Wards block ��ill spur deretopment on the vacant land currentl}� located bei�ind the Midway Shopping Center. The basis for including the Snelling/University site in the Neighborhood Redevelopment Project Area is to remove blight and deterioration, to redevelop acquired land in accordance with the redevelopinent plan, to altzr t;ie land use pattern of underutilized structures, to increase employment in the municipality, to preserve and enhance a tax base of the municipalit} and to satisfy the redevelopment strategies of the redevelopment section of the City Wide Plan. � (j) Unisys Properry 19 o�-ii yY � The Unisys site consists of the �'est end of a block bounded by �Vest 5eventh Street, Maynard Brive, Ste�n�art and Davem. ��ithin that block tlie east boundary is a property line runnin� southeast and east of Davem on West Seventh.

This 41.4 acre site is currently the location of a Texaco Oil Tank field. Reuse of the oll tanks themselves is unlikely. Sixty-seven (67) percent of the tax parcels are occupied. Soil conditions are extremely problematical for this site. Environmental contamination has occurred and must be corrected prior to any rede��elopment activities. The oil tanks are obsolete and constitute an underutilization of this property. Private im�estment alone cannot be expected to cover all costs of redevelopment. Redevelopment assistance is needed through possible site lssembly and/or przparation of site including soil correction; and could aiso include public improvements (streets, utilities, streetscape and landscaping). West Sevetrtl: Street/Gras:d The �Vest Seventh StreeUGrand area consists of approximately 2.5 acres bounded by Grand Avenue on the north, Smith Avenue on the west, Leech Street on the east and West Seventh Street on the southeast. The area is characterized by fragmented ownership, as well as � arying and incompatible land uses, which include office, residential, retail commercial and automobile services. Eighty percent of the site is occupied by structures and twent�• percent is vacant. Although the area is bounded by three major traffic carriers (Smith Avenue, Grand A�-�enue and West Seventh Street), it remains underutilized. It ma�� be necessary to assist rede� elopment in this area through site assembly and preparation and public improvements such as lighting and streetscape improcements.

The property is cunently zoned B-3 and is occupied by a three-story department store building of appro�imately 90,000 square feet. The remainder of the site is underutilized surface parking. The basis 21 oi-,�� for including the site is the undzrutilized nature of the parcel. (o) Plralen Village The Phalen Village azea consists of approximately 16� acres and is generally bounded by Johnson Parkway on the west, Hazehcood on the east, the Chicago I�'orthwestem railroad tracks on the south and Ivy on tl�e north. The site is located in the northeast section of the city. The site contains approximately 80 structures consistin� of commercial, single- family and multi-family uses. Approximate]y 7% of the site is vacant land. The basis for including the Phalen Village site in the Redevelopment Plan is to remove conditions of blight and deterioration, to increase employment in the municipality, to preserve and enhance a tax base of the municipality, and to foster the creation and enhancement of housing. The Nei�hborhood Business Development Program identified the need to revitalize nei�hborhood coinmercial areas. These neighborl�ood redevelopinent project areas are to . be undertaken in neighborhood cotnmercial areas contemplated by die Cit}'-�vide Redevelopment Plan and Saint Paul Neiahborhood Business Development Program. PLANNING FRAMEWORK Regional. City and area plans that address the future of these project areas from the Twin Cities Metropolitan Development Framework, to the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan, to the University Avemte Plan, call for special public-private efforts to redevelop and revitalize the areas. The District's element of the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan calls for improvements in the functioning and aesthetics of commercial areas. It recommends tl�e clustering of businesses to facilitate one-stop and comparison shopping. It also cails for City involo�ement in providing additional off-street parking. The District's element of the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan recognizes that rehabilitation and redevelopment requice closer public-private cooperation than first-time, ne�v development. It recommends that the City undertake a special district-levei economic development plan for the nei�hborhood commercial areas. The Land Use element of the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan designates major intersections as a "Major Retail Cluster". It recommends the clustering of compatible miszd land uses in these � area, and calls for buffering between commercial and residential areas. The Streets and Highways 22 oi-�i y y , element of the Comprehensive Plan recommends the use of streets to shape land use patterns and pro�ide buffers bet�veen differenttypes ofland use. These project areas are a part of Saint PauPs continuing effort to revitalize the City's neishborhood commercial strips. PIIRPOSE Thz purpose of this Redevelopment Plan is (a) to strengthen major commercial-office clusters; (b) to encouia�e office, commercial, and institutional redevelopment in areas; (c) to develop and redeeelop property within the redevelopment areas �z-hich qualify as bli�hted and deteriorated under the Housing and Redevelopment Act, Section 469.002 Subd. 11 and 13 (1), as underused or inappropriately used land or space under Section 469.002 Subd. 13 (3) and (6), and as a redevelopment or economic district under the Tax Increment Financing Act, Section 469.174 Subd. 10; (d) to assist in the undertaking of a Redevelopment Project as defined in Section 469.002 Subd. 13 (1), (3), (4), (�), and (6). OBJECTIV�S The primary o�'era11 development objective of this Redeve(opment District is to eliminate and/or improve those existin� conditions which serve to impair the health, safety and general welfare of � tlie citizens of the City of Saint Paul, and which also serve to inflict an economic blight upon existing private investment in the District, threaten the source of public revenue, and induce many members of tlie surroundin� nei�hborhood to no longer consider the area an attractive place in �ihich to reside or do business. The conditions which have been found to ezist which cause the abo��e noted factors include unsafe and unsanitary housin� conditions, building obsolescence or faulty arrangement in buildin� design or improvement and deleterious land use.

III. STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES OF THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN BACKGROUND (a) Spruce Tree Centre The Sneliing-University intersection is located in the heart of the Midway area of Saint Paul, midway between downtown Saint Paul and downtown Minneapolis. The Midway azea grew up along the University Avenue street car line, which connected the two downtowns. The early 1900's saw the development of small commercial areas along University Avenue to serve adjacent neighborhoods. With 14 o�-��y � the growing popularity of the automobile, however, the Avenue became an automobile rather than neighborhood oriented commercial strip. The result has been commercial development that conflicts with adjacent neighborhoods, inadequate parking, and stnxctures that are obsolete. Competition with suburban commercial centers begiuuing in the 1960's has led to vacant and underutilized land and buildings along University Avenue, and a deteriorating image. The Snelling-University intersection is a focus of the regional transportation network and has a very lugh traffice volume. It has remained an at-grade intersection because of the lnnitations imposed by e�sting development around it. The Snelling-University intersection is the the most heavily traveled at-grade intersection in the Twin Cities. Heavy vehicular traffice volume at Snelling-University, a commercial area originally built around pedestrians and street cars, has resulted in dangerous automobile-pedestrian conflicts. It has also resulted in serious air quality problems. The Snelling-UniversiTy intersection is the only site in the Twin Cities region which violates federal carbond monoxide standards. The Midway area contains major retail, office, industrial, and medical facilities. The azea is second only to the downtown in its importance to the Saint Paul economy. The Twin Cities Metropolitan Development Framewark point out, however, that considerable renewal, additions to its physical plant, and perhaps a transit link with the downtowns will be required if the Midway is to remain a major acCiviry center. The Development Framewark recommends selective redevelopment projects where market analysis indicates strong potential for community retail-service centers. Deteriorated and obsolete building at Sneliing-L3niversity create an image of a declining commercial strip. Automobile-pedestrian conflicts and a lack of parking keeps customer away. Customers and businesses a like go to more desirabie commercial areas. The result is declining retail activity and tax base, declining employxnent opportunities, and more deterioration. The deterioration and confluct with residenrial land use lowers the value of nearby residential areas as well. (b) Metz Bakery Area The Metz Bakery Redevelopment site is located in the north captiol neighborhood 15 o��i�y which as unmediately north of the State Capitol. The north capitol neighborhood is one of Saint Paul's oldest neighborhoods. Initiai seetlement ocurred in the 187Q's spurred on by street caz lines on University Avenue and Rice Street. The single most important inftuence on the neighborhood was the relocation of the State Capitol at its present site in 1905. Currently the neighborhood is a mixYure of residential, commercial, institutional, and government uses. Bethesda Lutheran Medical Center, a large and growing compiex, dominates the neighborhood. The remaining portions of the neighborhood aze less stable. The commercial businesses along Rice and University continue to struggle for an identity. While some residential area such as the Winter Street area haue stabilized, the rest of the residential areas are quite depressed. The redevelopment site is a mixture of commercial, residential, and vacant structures. The most prominent structure is the old vacant Metz Bakery Building which is st�ucturally unrehabable. Fronting on Charles, Sherburne, and Park are 12 dilapidated residential structures. The remainder of the site consists of 5 buildings on Rice Street which house an asortment of commercial activities. (c) Hammond Project The Hamniond Project is located at 1885 University Avenue in the City of Saint Paul. The Project was undertaken in 1982 as part of the City-wide Redevelopment Plan adopted pursuant to Minnesota StaYutes Chapter 462 (the Municipal Housing and Redevelopment Act) by the Authority on October 27, 1981 and by the City Council on October 27, 1981. A Tax Increment Financing District was created pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Sections 273.71 through 273.78 (Taa� Increment Financing Act) by City Council Resolution No. 279109 adopted August 28, 1982, which DistrSct was identified as the Tas Increment Financing District for Saint Paul Neighborhood Business Development Program. (d) UniversityAvenueEastArea The University Avenue East Area is bounded generally by Victoria Street on the west, Sherburne Avenue on the north, Rice Street on the east, and Aurora Avenue on the south. A variety of conditions exist that establish the need for including this site in the Redevelopment Plan. May of the buildings aze obsolete, undenxtilized, contain inappropriate or incompatible land uses. These building locations are in a 16 D{-llyN haphazard manner, preventing new development by causing high development costs, including site assembly and site preparation, and renovafion ar demolition. For these reasons, the private market has been unable to utilize this prime location to its full advantage. The primary overall development objective in the University Avenue East Redevelopment Plan, which is hereby incorporated into the Saint Paul Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan, and is in addition to, is to elirrvnate and/or improve those e�sting condtions which serve to impair the health, safety and general welfaze of the citizens of the City of Saint Paul, and which also serve to inflict an economic blight upon existing private investment in the area, threaten source of pubiic revenue, and induce members of the surrounding neighborhood to no longer consider the area an attractive place in which to reside or do business. (e) Rice Street The Rice Street azea is located within the perimeters of Hatch Street, Albemazle Street, Sycamore Street, Park Street, Jackson Street and Empire Park. The site is a mixture of residential and commercial uses. Conditions of the residential units range from major deterioration to minor maintenance with the majority of units requuing substantial work. Commercial conditions consist of major deterioration, unoccupied buiidings require minor maintenance. The basis for including Rice Street is functionaily obsolete commercial structures, dilapidated residential structures, and conflicting residential commercial uses. (� Prom/3MSite The Prom Site consists of 5.42 acres boarded by University Avenue on the north, Griggs on the west, and Dunlap on the east. The platt is Midway Industrial Division Block 1, Lofs 1-12; Block 2, Lots 1-12; and Block 6, Lots 1-12. The site is a commercial use in a B-3 Zone. It contains one existing office building and contained the old substandard Prom Building which was demolished to cleaz the site for potential development. The Prom Building was substandard in shucture and the office building would require minor renova6on. The site had zero percent of the property vacant until the recent demolition of the Prom Building. Currently the site has one parcel containing a building and the other two vacant. The basis for including the Prom Center site in the Redevelopment Plan are to 17 a �-��94 remove conditions of biight and deteriorafion (the oid Prom Building), to redevelop acquired land in accordance with the redevelopment plan, to increase employment in the municipaliiy, to preserve and enhance a tax base of the municipality, and to satisfy the redevelopment strategies of the redevelopment strategy section of the city-wide redevelopment plan. ... _.. -- - -- -"- -- - - - --- -- -- - '- -- -- -- - -:- ---- - -- - - -- -- ------- - -.�.�e�- - - - - ---- --- - -- - -' ---- - - - - -- - ---- --- - -- - --- - - (h) Arcade/Payne/East Seventh Srieet The PaynelArcadelEast Seventh Street site consists of approximately 45 acres. The site consists of East Seventh (from Bates to Forest) and Payne Avenue (from Minnehaha to 3enks) and Arcade (from York to the Burlington Northern Railroad Tracks and East to Forest). The site is a mixture of B2 and B3 zoning, along with a large planned development zoning (Seeger Squaze). It contains 158 improved properties. The site is 90% utilized by buildings, parking and roads. The basis for including the Payne(Arcade/East Seventh Street site into the Redevelopment District is to remove blight and deterioration, and to redevelop acquired land in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan. (i) Snelling and University The Midway Center site consists 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 University Avenue. The site is commercial use in a B-2 and a B-3 zone. It contains 14 e�sting buildings. Of these buildings, one is a strip commercial center which is in need of substantial renovation. Another building is an economic, obsolescent one million m b�-�ty� square foot wazehouse. The rest of the site is made up of 12 structures, most of which require substantial renovation to bring them up to standazd. The site is 100% utilized by buildings, parking and roads. There are no vacant sites within this district. The basis for inciuding the Midway Site into the Neighborhood Redevelopment Project Area is to remove blight and deterioration, to redevelop acquired land in accordance with the redevelopment plan, to increase employment in municipality, to preserve and enhance a tas base of the municipality, and to satisfy the redevelopment strategies of the redevelopment secfion of the City Wide Plan. The Snelling/University site consists of approximately 80 acres, bordered by St. Anthony Avenue on the south, Snelling and Spruce Tree Centre on the west. Sherbume and University Avenues on the north, and Hamline on the east. The site contains thiriy-five structures, four of which aze located on the Midway Shopping Center parcel and two of which are located on the Montgomery Ward's parcel. The zoning of the site is a mixture of B-2, Community Business Aistrict; B-3, General Business District; I-1, Tndustrial District; and a PD, Planned Development (Spruce Tree Centre). One residential shucture, containing 16 dwelling units, is located in the area. The remainder of the structures aze in non- residential use. The site is fully utilized by buildings, parking lots and roads. The strip commercial center is in need of substantial renovation. Another building is an uneconomical, obsolescent one million squaze foot warehouse. A third structure is used as a bus garage and storage yazd. The area has been recognized as serving as a regional shopping center. However, a significant amount of existing floor area is not being utilized as retail, but rather exists as underutilized warehouse, gazage or storage yard. It is felt that the subregional shopping center development proposal on the Wards block will spur development on the vacant land currently located behind the Midway Shopping Center. The basis for including the Snelling/Universiry site in the Neighborhood Redevelopment Project Area is to remove blight and deterioration, to redevelop acquired 1and in accordance with the redevelopment plan, to alter the 1and use pattern of underutilized struciures, to increase employment in the municipality, to preserve and enhance a taY base of the municipality, and to satisfy the redevelopment strategies of the redevelopment section of the City Wide Plan. (j) Unisys Property 19 a -�� The Unisys site consists of the west end of a biock bounded by West Seventh Street, Maynard Drive, Stewart and Davern. Within that block the east boundary is a property line rn„ning southeast and east of Davern on West Seventh. A second portion of the site is a 5.11 vacant parcel in the middle of the block bounded by Stewart, Alton, Shepazd Road and Dauern. The 18.6 acre site is a miYture of commercial and light industrial uses. An Amoco Service Station and a bazhestaurant occupy appro�mately 43,000 square feet on the north end of the site along West Seventh Street. Both buildings aze in good condition. Immediately south is an 11 acre parcel occupied by Minnesota Public Radio's transmission towers and service building. The southwest corner of MPR site is leased to an airport park and ride firm. The site south of Stewazd is a 511 acre undeveloped parcel immediately east of the UNISYS parking lot. The entire site has solid bedrock a few feet below the surface. Twenty-seven percent of the site is vacant. The basis for including the LTNISYS/NIPR site is the underutilized nature of the site. Part of this is directly amibutable to the soil conditions-solid bedrock. (k) Hillcrest Shopping Center The Hillcrest Shopping Center is located in the northeast section of the city and is bounded by East Montana Street on the south, White Bear Avenue on the west, Larpenteur on the north and Van Dyke Street and Gary Piace on the east. Twenty percent of the site is vacant and 80% is occupied by buildings which comprise a commercial strip center. Hillcrest Center's first stores date from the late 1940's, with most of the other buildings completed around 1961. Hillcrest's aging structures aze in need of renovation and rehabilitation. In addition, the district plan calls for a redesign of ingress and egress from the pazking lots in order to aileviate traffic problems on White Beaz Avenue. The plan alsa identifies a need to redesign the commercial signage to eliminate visuai clutter and a need to improve the pedestrian environment through lighting and streetscape improvements. The Hillcrest site is in need of public improvements such as landscaping, lighting, streetscape and redesigned/relocated curb cuts. 5ite assembly and{or preparation of the vacant parcels for development may be necessary. 20 (l) Tzraco Site The Texaco site is in the 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 Mobil Oil Tank Fann on the North. This 41.4 acre site is curtently the location of a Texaco Oil Tank field. Reuse of the oil tanks themselves is unlikely. Si�ty-seven (67) percent of the tax pazcels aze occupied. Soil conditions aze ea-tremely problematical for tius site. Environmental contamination has occurred and must be conected prior to any redevelopment activities. The oil tanks aze obsolete and constitute an underutilization of this properiy. Private inveshnent alone cannot be expected to cover all costs of redevelopment. Redevelopment assistance is needed through possible site assembly andior prepararion of site including soil correction; and could also include public improvements (streets, utilities, streetscape and landscaping). (m) West Seventh Street/Grand The West Seventh StreeUCrrand area consists of approximately 2.5 acres bounded by Grand Avenue on the north, Smith Avenue on the west, Leech Street on the east and West Seventh Street on the southeast. The area is chazacterized by fragmented ownership, as well as varying and incompatible land uses, which include office, residential, retail commercial and automobile services. Eighty percent of the site as occupied by structures and twenty percent is vacant. Although the area is bounded by three major traffic carriers (Smith Avenue, Grand Avenue and West Seventh Street), it remains underutilized. It may be necessary to assist redevelopment in this area through site assembly and preparation and public improvements such as lighting and streetscape improvements. (n) Highland/Dona[dson Site This site is 5.5 acre pazcel located on the southwest corner of Ford Parkway and Cleveland Avenue. This "L" shaped parcel is bounded by Ford Pazkway on the north, Cleveland Avenue on the east, Highland Manor Apartrnents on the south and Highland Village Center on the west. The property is currently zoned B-3 and is occupied by a three-story department store building of approximately 90,000 square feet. The remainder of the site is underutilized surface pazking. The basis 21 oh/l�l`� for including the site is the underutilized nature of the parcel. (o) Phalen Village The Phalen Village area consists of approximately 165 acres and is generally bounded by Johnson Parkway on the west, Hazelwood on the east, the Clucago Northwestern railroad tracks on the south and Ivy on the north. The site is located in the northeast section of the city. The site contains approxnnately 80 structures consisting of commercial, single- family and multi-family uses. Approximatelq 7% of the site is vacant land. The basis for including the Phalen Village site in the Redevelopment Plan is to remove conditions of blight and deterioration, to increase employment in the municipality, to preserve and enhance a taY base of the municipality, and to foster the creation and enhancement of housing. The Neighborhood Business Development Program identified the need to revitalize neighborhood commercial areas. These neighborhood redevelopment project areas are to be undertaken in neighborhood commercial areas contemplated by the City-wide Redevelopment Plan and Saint Paul Neighborhood Business Development Program. PLANIVING FRAMEWORK Regional, City and area plans that address the future of these project areas from the Twin Cities Metropolitan Development Framework, to the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan, to the University Avenue Plan, call for special public-private efforts to redevelop and revitalize the areas. The District's element of the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan calls for improvements in the functioning and aesthetics of commercial areas. It recommends the clustering of businesses to facilitate one-stop and compazison shopping. It also calls for City involvement in providing additional off-street parking. The District's element of the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan recognizes that rehabilitation and redevelopment require closer public-private cooperation than first-time, new development. It recommends that the City undertake a special district-level economic development plan for the neighborhood commercial areas. The Land Use element of the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan designates major intersections as a "Major Retail Cluster". It recommends the clustering of compatible mixed land uses in these azea, and calls for buffering between commercial and residential areas. The Streets and Highways 22 c� •��yy element of the Comprehensive Plan recommends the use of streets to shape land use pattems and provide buffers between different types of land use. These project areas are a part of Saint Paul's continuing effort to revitalize the City's neighborhood commercial strips. PURPOSE The purpose of this Redevelopment Plan is (a) to strengthen major commercial-office clusters; (b) to encourage office, commerciai, and institutional redevelopment in areas; (c) to develop and redevelop properly within the redevelopment areas which qualify as blighted and deteriorated under the Housing and Redevelopment Act, Section 469.002 Subd. 11 and 13 (1), as underused or inappropriately used land or space under Section 469.002 Subd. 13 (3) and (6), and as a redevelopment or economic district under the Ta;� Increment Financing Act, Section 469.174 Subd. 10; (d) to assist in the undertaking of a Redevelopment Project as defined in SectSon 469.002 Subd. 13 (1), (3), (4), (5), and (6). OBJECTIVES The primary overall development objective of this Redevelopment District is to eliminate and/or improve those existing conditions which serve to impair the health, safety and general welfare o£ the citizens of the City of Saint Paul, and which also serve to inflict an economic blight upon existing private investment in the District, threaten the source of public revenue, and induce many members of the surrounding neighborhood to no longer consider the area an attractive place in which to reside or do business. The conditions which have been found to exist which cause the above noted factors include unsafe and unsanitary housing conditions, building obsolescence or fau1Ty arrangement in building design or improvement and deleterious land use. The primary objective of this Redevelopment Plan is to remove andlor improve the conditions noted above through public intervention so that private enterprise will achieve the means and encouragement to provide both housing and commercial revitalization to the area. Additional general development objectives related to the above are: Establishing cooperafion among the many different groups that can and must wark together to improve the area. Business, properiy owners, bankers, local officials, business groups and citizen councils must work together to continuously promote and improve the district. 2. Creating and marketing a positive image of the district to attract new customers and investors. 3. Enhance the visual quality of the district by improving the elements of the environment; buildings, storefronts, vacant parcels, landscaping, signs, 23 DI 1/`/��/ merchandising displays and promotional material all need to be addressed. 4. Economic diversification, recruiting of new and varied store types to provide a balanced retail mix. Conversion of unused space and 'unproving the competitiveness of e�sting businesses in the district. Specific objectives to be achieved within the context of the foregoing are as follows: To carry out a comprehensive plan of rehabilitation, conservation and redevelopment which will create and maintain a sound commercial and residential community. To remove blight and conditions of deterioration by: a. acquisition and removal of shucturally substandazd buildings. b. acquisition and elimina6on of obsolete buildings which aze not capable of rehabilitation, are improperly converted, or which create conflicting land uses or ather blighting influences. c. undeitaking a program of code enforcement with the appropriate City departments to ensure that hazazdous conditions are either conected trough rehabilitation or eliminated through demolition. d. to carry out a public program of acquisition and rehabilitation of deficient buildings; to demonstrate feasibility of rehabilitation; to provide relocation resources for families and businesses displaced by project activities. e. to provide adequate redevelopment sites for residential and commercial uses, and encourage new private investment and participation of redevelopment of these uses by members of the community. To coordinate acquisition, site preparation and improvements and facilities, and to spread and equalize the costs thereof, in order to accomplish the entire project development at a cost reasonably related to the public purpose to be served. 4. To provide private developers with information regarding zoning; land use controls and other Cily and Plan requirements; informafion and assistance in obtaining construction and permanent fmancing; information and assistance regarding construction of site and public improvements and measures necessary to correct site conditions, all in accordance with development agreements. 5. To fmance development by a combination of private and public financing under 24 o��1�F authority and subject to the requirements of federal, state and local law and ordinance for the provision of revenue bond financing. 6. To provide such public improvements as aze necessary to stimulate private inveshnent and reinvestment in the redevelopment areas. 7. To maintain and strengthen employment opportw�ities, services, and t� base by attracting retail businesses, personal and professional services, and offices. To reduce automobile-pedesri conflicts and create more attractive pedesh oriented environments. 9. To provide adequate parking in the redevelopment azeas and to encourage the joint use of shared paxking facilities. 10. To redevelop the area in conformance with the City's Comprehensive Plan and the Capitol Area Architectural and Planning Board's Comprehensive Plan. 11. To utilize public fmancial resources in a manner that is in conformance with the City's adopted Capitol Allocation Policies. IV. REDEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES Historically, the role of the public sector in urban redevelopment has been to provide controls and incentives in order to encourage and obtain needed development. In order to counteract a combination of adverse economic conditions, patterns of investment and reinvestment, and physical environmental conditions wl�ich have worked to the detriment of the redevelopment of aging, built urban azeas, this role has been changing to one of an active partner and participant in needed redevelopment. This plan envisions the permitted use of a11 techniques or powers currently authorized through applicable statutes. No provision of this plan is to be taken to limit the full exercise of these powers. This plan envisions the permitted use of all techniques or powers authorized through Minnesota Statutes 469.001 through 469.043, 469.172 through 469181 and Chapter 469.152 tlu�ough 469.165 by the City and HRA, or other public agencies as appropriate and necessary to carry out the implementation of this Plan.

III, STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES OF THE REDEVELOPVIENT PLAN BACKGROUND (a) Spruce Tree Ce�itre The Snellin�-University intersection is located in the heart of the Midway area of Saint Paul, midway between do��ntown Saint Paul and do�� ntown Minneapolis. The Midway area grew up alona the University Avenue street car line, which connected the two downtowns. The early 1900's saw the development of smail commercial areas along University Avenue to serve adjacent neighborhoods. With . 14 oi-i��y � the growin� popularity of the automobile, however, the A��enue became an automobile rather than nei�hborhood oriented commercial strip. The result has been coiilmercial development that conflicts �vith adjacent nei�hborhoods, inadequate parking, and structures that are obsolete. Competition with suburban land and build n abon�nUnive sity Avenue, and a deterio ating im a e tilized The Snellin�-University intersection is a focus of the re�ional transportation network and has a very high traffice volume. It has remained an at-�rade intersection because of the limitations imposed by existing development around it. The Snelling-University intersection is the the most hea��ily traceled at-grade intersection in the Twin Cities. Heavy vehicular traffice volume at Snellina University, a commercial area originally built around pedestrians and street cars, has resulted in dan�erous automobile-pedestrian conflicts. It has also resulted in serious air quality problems. The Snellin�-Uni��ersity intersection is the only site in the Twin Cities region which violates federal carbond monoxide standards. The Midway area contains major retait, office, industrial, and medical facilities. The area is second only to the downtow'n in its importance to the Saint Paul economy. The Twin Cities Metropolitan Developn7e�zt Frame��'ork point out, � however, that considerable renewal, additions to its pllysical plant, and perhaps a transit link ��'ith the downYO��ns will be required if the Nlidway is to remain a majos activity center. Tlle Development Framework recommeno ential for com nunotp}Ilretail�- oJrvice where market analysis indicates stron� p centers. Deteriorated and obsolete building at Snelling-University create an image of a declining commercial strip. Automobile-pedestrian conflicts and a lack of parking keeps customer away. Customers and businesses a like �o to more desirable commercial areas. The result is declining retail activity and tas base, declining employment opportunities, and more deterioration. The deterioration and confluct with residential land use lo�tiers the value of nearby residential areas as well. (b) Metz Bakery Area The Metz Bakery Redevelopment site is located in the north captiol neighborhood . I� OI -II �/�f � i � (c) (d) ��liich is immediately north of the State Capitol. The north capitol neighborhood is one of Saint Paul`s oldest neighborhoods. Initial seetleinent ocurred in the 1870's spurred on by street car lines on University Avenue and Rice Street. The single most important influence on the neighborhood �vas the relocation of the State Capitol at its present site in 190�. Currently the neighborhood is a mi�ture of residential, commercial, institutional, and government uses. Bethesda Lutheran Medical Center, a large and growin� complea, dominates the neighborhood. The remaining portions of the neighborhood are less stable. The commercial businesses along Rice and University continue to struggle for an identity. While some residential area such as the Winter Street area have stabilized, the rest of the residential areas are quite depressed. Tlte redevelopment site is a mixturz of commercial, residential, and vacant structures. The most prominent structure is the old ��acant Metz Bakery Buildin� �vhich is structurally unrehabable. Frontin� on Charles, Sherburne, and Park are 12 dilapidated residential structures. The remainder of the site cor.sists of 5 buildin�s on Rice Street which house an asortment of commercial activities. Hn�rtn:ond Project The Hammond Project is located at 1885 University Avenue in the City of Saint Paul. The Project �vas undertaken in 1982 as part of the City-«'ide Redevelopment Plan adopted pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 462 (the Municipal Housing and Redevelopment Act) by the Authority on October 27, 1981 and by the City Council on October 27, 1981.

Universiry Avertue EastArea The Uni��ersity A�enue East Area is bounded generally by Victoria Street on the ��est, Sherburne Avenue on the north, Rice Street on the east, and Aurora Avenue on the south. A variety of conditions exist that establish the need for including this site in the Redevelopment Plan. May of the buildings are obsolete, underutilized, contain inappropriate or incompatible land uses. These building locations are in a 16 o�-i�µy � remove conditions of blight and deterioration (the old Prom Building), to redevelop acquired land in accordance w�ith the rede�'elopment plan, to increase employment in the municipality, to preserve and enhance a tax base of the municipality, and to satisfy the redevelopment strate�ies of the redevelopment strategy section of the city-w�ide redevelopment plan. , .._,. . : - - . _ _ +- -- - - - . - - - - . -�..... � (k) Arcade/Pay�ie/East Seventlt Streef � The Pay�ne/Arcade/East Seventh Street site consists of appro�imately 45 acres. The site consists of East Seventh (from Bates to Forest) and Payne Avenue (from Minnehaha to Jenks) and Arcade (from York to the Burlington Northem Kailroad Tracks and East to Forest). The site is a mixture of B2 and B3 zoning, alon� ��'ith a large planned development zoning (Seeger Square). It contains 1�3 improved properties. The site is 90% utilized by buildinas, parkino and roads. The basis for including the Payne/Arcade/East Secenth Street site into the Redevelopment District is to remove bli�ht and deterioration, and to redevelop acquired land in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan. (i) Snelli�:g ar:d University The Midway Center site consists of approximately 18 acres, bordered by St. Anthony Avenue on the south, Hamline Aw�enue on the east, and Spruce Tree Centre on the west. The northem boundary is Fry to Sherburne to Pascal to University Avenue. The site is commercial use in a B-2 and a B-3 zone. It contains 14 existin� buildings. Of these buildings, one is a strip commercial center which is in need of � substantial renovation. Anothzr building is an economic, obsolescent one million 18 a /- ��Sly • square foot «�arehouse. The rest of the site is made up of 12 structures, most of �r�hich require substantial renovation to brin� them up to standard. The site is 100% utilized by buildin�s, parkins and roads. There are no vacant sites �vithin this district The basis for includin� the Midway Site into the Nei�hborhood Redevelopment Project Area is to remove bli�ht and deterioration, to redevelop acquired ]and in accordance with the rede��elopment plan, to increase employnient in municipality, to preserve and enhance a tax base of the municipality, and to satisfy the redevelopment strate�ies of the redevelopment section of the City Wide Plan. The Snellin�/Uni��ersity site consists of approximately 80 acres, bordered by St. Anthony Avenue on the south, Snelling and Spruce Tree Centre on the west. Sherburne and liniversity Avenues on the north, and Hamline on the east. The site contains thirty-five struchires, four of which are located ou tlie Midway Shoppin� Center parcel and t�vo of which are located on the Montgomery Ward's parcel. The zonina of the site is a mixture of B-2, Community Business District; B-3, General Business District; I-1, Industrial District; and a PD, Planned De� elopinent (Spruce Tree Centre). One residential structure, containina 16 d�celling units, is located in the area. The remainder of the structures are in non- residential use. � The site is fully utilized by bulldings, parking lots and roads. The strip commercial centu is in need of substantial renovation. Another buiiding is an uneconomical, obsolescent one million square foot �varehouse. A third structure is used as a bus garase and stora�e yard. The area has been recognized as serving as a regional shopping center. However, a significant amount of existine floor area is not being utilized as retail, but rather exists as underutilized warehouse, garage or storage yard. It is felt that the subregional shoppin� center devetopment proposal on the Wards block ��ill spur deretopment on the vacant land currentl}� located bei�ind the Midway Shopping Center. The basis for including the Snelling/University site in the Neighborhood Redevelopment Project Area is to remove blight and deterioration, to redevelop acquired land in accordance with the redevelopinent plan, to altzr t;ie land use pattern of underutilized structures, to increase employment in the municipality, to preserve and enhance a tax base of the municipalit} and to satisfy the redevelopment strategies of the redevelopment section of the City Wide Plan. � (j) Unisys Properry 19 o�-ii yY � The Unisys site consists of the �'est end of a block bounded by �Vest 5eventh Street, Maynard Brive, Ste�n�art and Davem. ��ithin that block tlie east boundary is a property line runnin� southeast and east of Davem on West Seventh.

This 41.4 acre site is currently the location of a Texaco Oil Tank field. Reuse of the oll tanks themselves is unlikely. Sixty-seven (67) percent of the tax parcels are occupied. Soil conditions are extremely problematical for this site. Environmental contamination has occurred and must be corrected prior to any rede��elopment activities. The oil tanks are obsolete and constitute an underutilization of this property. Private im�estment alone cannot be expected to cover all costs of redevelopment. Redevelopment assistance is needed through possible site lssembly and/or przparation of site including soil correction; and could aiso include public improvements (streets, utilities, streetscape and landscaping). West Sevetrtl: Street/Gras:d The �Vest Seventh StreeUGrand area consists of approximately 2.5 acres bounded by Grand Avenue on the north, Smith Avenue on the west, Leech Street on the east and West Seventh Street on the southeast. The area is characterized by fragmented ownership, as well as � arying and incompatible land uses, which include office, residential, retail commercial and automobile services. Eighty percent of the site is occupied by structures and twent�• percent is vacant. Although the area is bounded by three major traffic carriers (Smith Avenue, Grand A�-�enue and West Seventh Street), it remains underutilized. It ma�� be necessary to assist rede� elopment in this area through site assembly and preparation and public improvements such as lighting and streetscape improcements.

The property is cunently zoned B-3 and is occupied by a three-story department store building of appro�imately 90,000 square feet. The remainder of the site is underutilized surface parking. The basis 21 oi-,�� for including the site is the undzrutilized nature of the parcel. (o) Plralen Village The Phalen Village azea consists of approximately 16� acres and is generally bounded by Johnson Parkway on the west, Hazehcood on the east, the Chicago I�'orthwestem railroad tracks on the south and Ivy on tl�e north. The site is located in the northeast section of the city. The site contains approximately 80 structures consistin� of commercial, single- family and multi-family uses. Approximate]y 7% of the site is vacant land. The basis for including the Phalen Village site in the Redevelopment Plan is to remove conditions of blight and deterioration, to increase employment in the municipality, to preserve and enhance a tax base of the municipality, and to foster the creation and enhancement of housing. The Nei�hborhood Business Development Program identified the need to revitalize nei�hborhood coinmercial areas. These neighborl�ood redevelopinent project areas are to . be undertaken in neighborhood cotnmercial areas contemplated by die Cit}'-�vide Redevelopment Plan and Saint Paul Neiahborhood Business Development Program. PLANNING FRAMEWORK Regional. City and area plans that address the future of these project areas from the Twin Cities Metropolitan Development Framework, to the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan, to the University Avemte Plan, call for special public-private efforts to redevelop and revitalize the areas. The District's element of the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan calls for improvements in the functioning and aesthetics of commercial areas. It recommends tl�e clustering of businesses to facilitate one-stop and comparison shopping. It also cails for City involo�ement in providing additional off-street parking. The District's element of the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan recognizes that rehabilitation and redevelopment requice closer public-private cooperation than first-time, ne�v development. It recommends that the City undertake a special district-levei economic development plan for the nei�hborhood commercial areas. The Land Use element of the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan designates major intersections as a "Major Retail Cluster". It recommends the clustering of compatible miszd land uses in these � area, and calls for buffering between commercial and residential areas. The Streets and Highways 22 oi-�i y y , element of the Comprehensive Plan recommends the use of streets to shape land use patterns and pro�ide buffers bet�veen differenttypes ofland use. These project areas are a part of Saint PauPs continuing effort to revitalize the City's neishborhood commercial strips. PIIRPOSE Thz purpose of this Redevelopment Plan is (a) to strengthen major commercial-office clusters; (b) to encouia�e office, commercial, and institutional redevelopment in areas; (c) to develop and redeeelop property within the redevelopment areas �z-hich qualify as bli�hted and deteriorated under the Housing and Redevelopment Act, Section 469.002 Subd. 11 and 13 (1), as underused or inappropriately used land or space under Section 469.002 Subd. 13 (3) and (6), and as a redevelopment or economic district under the Tax Increment Financing Act, Section 469.174 Subd. 10; (d) to assist in the undertaking of a Redevelopment Project as defined in Section 469.002 Subd. 13 (1), (3), (4), (�), and (6). OBJECTIV�S The primary o�'era11 development objective of this Redeve(opment District is to eliminate and/or improve those existin� conditions which serve to impair the health, safety and general welfare of � tlie citizens of the City of Saint Paul, and which also serve to inflict an economic blight upon existing private investment in the District, threaten the source of public revenue, and induce many members of tlie surroundin� nei�hborhood to no longer consider the area an attractive place in �ihich to reside or do business. The conditions which have been found to ezist which cause the abo��e noted factors include unsafe and unsanitary housin� conditions, building obsolescence or faulty arrangement in buildin� design or improvement and deleterious land use.

III. STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES OF THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN BACKGROUND (a) Spruce Tree Centre The Sneliing-University intersection is located in the heart of the Midway area of Saint Paul, midway between downtown Saint Paul and downtown Minneapolis. The Midway azea grew up along the University Avenue street car line, which connected the two downtowns. The early 1900's saw the development of small commercial areas along University Avenue to serve adjacent neighborhoods. With 14 o�-��y � the growing popularity of the automobile, however, the Avenue became an automobile rather than neighborhood oriented commercial strip. The result has been commercial development that conflicts with adjacent neighborhoods, inadequate parking, and stnxctures that are obsolete. Competition with suburban commercial centers begiuuing in the 1960's has led to vacant and underutilized land and buildings along University Avenue, and a deteriorating image. The Snelling-University intersection is a focus of the regional transportation network and has a very lugh traffice volume. It has remained an at-grade intersection because of the lnnitations imposed by e�sting development around it. The Snelling-University intersection is the the most heavily traveled at-grade intersection in the Twin Cities. Heavy vehicular traffice volume at Snelling-University, a commercial area originally built around pedestrians and street cars, has resulted in dangerous automobile-pedestrian conflicts. It has also resulted in serious air quality problems. The Snelling-UniversiTy intersection is the only site in the Twin Cities region which violates federal carbond monoxide standards. The Midway area contains major retail, office, industrial, and medical facilities. The azea is second only to the downtown in its importance to the Saint Paul economy. The Twin Cities Metropolitan Development Framewark point out, however, that considerable renewal, additions to its physical plant, and perhaps a transit link with the downtowns will be required if the Midway is to remain a major acCiviry center. The Development Framewark recommends selective redevelopment projects where market analysis indicates strong potential for community retail-service centers. Deteriorated and obsolete building at Sneliing-L3niversity create an image of a declining commercial strip. Automobile-pedestrian conflicts and a lack of parking keeps customer away. Customers and businesses a like go to more desirabie commercial areas. The result is declining retail activity and tax base, declining employxnent opportunities, and more deterioration. The deterioration and confluct with residenrial land use lowers the value of nearby residential areas as well. (b) Metz Bakery Area The Metz Bakery Redevelopment site is located in the north captiol neighborhood 15 o��i�y which as unmediately north of the State Capitol. The north capitol neighborhood is one of Saint Paul's oldest neighborhoods. Initiai seetlement ocurred in the 187Q's spurred on by street caz lines on University Avenue and Rice Street. The single most important inftuence on the neighborhood was the relocation of the State Capitol at its present site in 1905. Currently the neighborhood is a mixYure of residential, commercial, institutional, and government uses. Bethesda Lutheran Medical Center, a large and growing compiex, dominates the neighborhood. The remaining portions of the neighborhood aze less stable. The commercial businesses along Rice and University continue to struggle for an identity. While some residential area such as the Winter Street area haue stabilized, the rest of the residential areas are quite depressed. The redevelopment site is a mixture of commercial, residential, and vacant structures. The most prominent structure is the old vacant Metz Bakery Building which is st�ucturally unrehabable. Fronting on Charles, Sherburne, and Park are 12 dilapidated residential structures. The remainder of the site consists of 5 buildings on Rice Street which house an asortment of commercial activities. (c) Hammond Project The Hamniond Project is located at 1885 University Avenue in the City of Saint Paul. The Project was undertaken in 1982 as part of the City-wide Redevelopment Plan adopted pursuant to Minnesota StaYutes Chapter 462 (the Municipal Housing and Redevelopment Act) by the Authority on October 27, 1981 and by the City Council on October 27, 1981. A Tax Increment Financing District was created pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Sections 273.71 through 273.78 (Taa� Increment Financing Act) by City Council Resolution No. 279109 adopted August 28, 1982, which DistrSct was identified as the Tas Increment Financing District for Saint Paul Neighborhood Business Development Program. (d) UniversityAvenueEastArea The University Avenue East Area is bounded generally by Victoria Street on the west, Sherburne Avenue on the north, Rice Street on the east, and Aurora Avenue on the south. A variety of conditions exist that establish the need for including this site in the Redevelopment Plan. May of the buildings aze obsolete, undenxtilized, contain inappropriate or incompatible land uses. These building locations are in a 16 D{-llyN haphazard manner, preventing new development by causing high development costs, including site assembly and site preparation, and renovafion ar demolition. For these reasons, the private market has been unable to utilize this prime location to its full advantage. The primary overall development objective in the University Avenue East Redevelopment Plan, which is hereby incorporated into the Saint Paul Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan, and is in addition to, is to elirrvnate and/or improve those e�sting condtions which serve to impair the health, safety and general welfaze of the citizens of the City of Saint Paul, and which also serve to inflict an economic blight upon existing private investment in the area, threaten source of pubiic revenue, and induce members of the surrounding neighborhood to no longer consider the area an attractive place in which to reside or do business. (e) Rice Street The Rice Street azea is located within the perimeters of Hatch Street, Albemazle Street, Sycamore Street, Park Street, Jackson Street and Empire Park. The site is a mixture of residential and commercial uses. Conditions of the residential units range from major deterioration to minor maintenance with the majority of units requuing substantial work. Commercial conditions consist of major deterioration, unoccupied buiidings require minor maintenance. The basis for including Rice Street is functionaily obsolete commercial structures, dilapidated residential structures, and conflicting residential commercial uses. (� Prom/3MSite The Prom Site consists of 5.42 acres boarded by University Avenue on the north, Griggs on the west, and Dunlap on the east. The platt is Midway Industrial Division Block 1, Lofs 1-12; Block 2, Lots 1-12; and Block 6, Lots 1-12. The site is a commercial use in a B-3 Zone. It contains one existing office building and contained the old substandard Prom Building which was demolished to cleaz the site for potential development. The Prom Building was substandard in shucture and the office building would require minor renova6on. The site had zero percent of the property vacant until the recent demolition of the Prom Building. Currently the site has one parcel containing a building and the other two vacant. The basis for including the Prom Center site in the Redevelopment Plan are to 17 a �-��94 remove conditions of biight and deteriorafion (the oid Prom Building), to redevelop acquired land in accordance with the redevelopment plan, to increase employment in the municipaliiy, to preserve and enhance a tax base of the municipality, and to satisfy the redevelopment strategies of the redevelopment strategy section of the city-wide redevelopment plan. ... _.. -- - -- -"- -- - - - --- -- -- - '- -- -- -- - -:- ---- - -- - - -- -- ------- - -.�.�e�- - - - - ---- --- - -- - -' ---- - - - - -- - ---- --- - -- - --- - - (h) Arcade/Payne/East Seventh Srieet The PaynelArcadelEast Seventh Street site consists of approximately 45 acres. The site consists of East Seventh (from Bates to Forest) and Payne Avenue (from Minnehaha to 3enks) and Arcade (from York to the Burlington Northern Railroad Tracks and East to Forest). The site is a mixture of B2 and B3 zoning, along with a large planned development zoning (Seeger Squaze). It contains 158 improved properties. The site is 90% utilized by buildings, parking and roads. The basis for including the Payne(Arcade/East Seventh Street site into the Redevelopment District is to remove blight and deterioration, and to redevelop acquired land in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan. (i) Snelling and University The Midway Center site consists 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 University Avenue. The site is commercial use in a B-2 and a B-3 zone. It contains 14 e�sting buildings. Of these buildings, one is a strip commercial center which is in need of substantial renovation. Another building is an economic, obsolescent one million m b�-�ty� square foot wazehouse. The rest of the site is made up of 12 structures, most of which require substantial renovation to bring them up to standazd. The site is 100% utilized by buildings, parking and roads. There are no vacant sites within this district. The basis for inciuding the Midway Site into the Neighborhood Redevelopment Project Area is to remove blight and deterioration, to redevelop acquired land in accordance with the redevelopment plan, to increase employment in municipality, to preserve and enhance a tas base of the municipality, and to satisfy the redevelopment strategies of the redevelopment secfion of the City Wide Plan. The Snelling/University site consists of approximately 80 acres, bordered by St. Anthony Avenue on the south, Snelling and Spruce Tree Centre on the west. Sherbume and University Avenues on the north, and Hamline on the east. The site contains thiriy-five structures, four of which aze located on the Midway Shopping Center parcel and two of which are located on the Montgomery Ward's parcel. The zoning of the site is a mixture of B-2, Community Business Aistrict; B-3, General Business District; I-1, Tndustrial District; and a PD, Planned Development (Spruce Tree Centre). One residential shucture, containing 16 dwelling units, is located in the area. The remainder of the structures aze in non- residential use. The site is fully utilized by buildings, parking lots and roads. The strip commercial center is in need of substantial renovation. Another building is an uneconomical, obsolescent one million squaze foot warehouse. A third structure is used as a bus garage and storage yazd. The area has been recognized as serving as a regional shopping center. However, a significant amount of existing floor area is not being utilized as retail, but rather exists as underutilized warehouse, gazage or storage yard. It is felt that the subregional shopping center development proposal on the Wards block will spur development on the vacant land currently located behind the Midway Shopping Center. The basis for including the Snelling/Universiry site in the Neighborhood Redevelopment Project Area is to remove blight and deterioration, to redevelop acquired 1and in accordance with the redevelopment plan, to alter the 1and use pattern of underutilized struciures, to increase employment in the municipality, to preserve and enhance a taY base of the municipality, and to satisfy the redevelopment strategies of the redevelopment section of the City Wide Plan. (j) Unisys Property 19 a -�� The Unisys site consists of the west end of a biock bounded by West Seventh Street, Maynard Drive, Stewart and Davern. Within that block the east boundary is a property line rn„ning southeast and east of Davern on West Seventh. A second portion of the site is a 5.11 vacant parcel in the middle of the block bounded by Stewart, Alton, Shepazd Road and Dauern. The 18.6 acre site is a miYture of commercial and light industrial uses. An Amoco Service Station and a bazhestaurant occupy appro�mately 43,000 square feet on the north end of the site along West Seventh Street. Both buildings aze in good condition. Immediately south is an 11 acre parcel occupied by Minnesota Public Radio's transmission towers and service building. The southwest corner of MPR site is leased to an airport park and ride firm. The site south of Stewazd is a 511 acre undeveloped parcel immediately east of the UNISYS parking lot. The entire site has solid bedrock a few feet below the surface. Twenty-seven percent of the site is vacant. The basis for including the LTNISYS/NIPR site is the underutilized nature of the site. Part of this is directly amibutable to the soil conditions-solid bedrock. (k) Hillcrest Shopping Center The Hillcrest Shopping Center is located in the northeast section of the city and is bounded by East Montana Street on the south, White Bear Avenue on the west, Larpenteur on the north and Van Dyke Street and Gary Piace on the east. Twenty percent of the site is vacant and 80% is occupied by buildings which comprise a commercial strip center. Hillcrest Center's first stores date from the late 1940's, with most of the other buildings completed around 1961. Hillcrest's aging structures aze in need of renovation and rehabilitation. In addition, the district plan calls for a redesign of ingress and egress from the pazking lots in order to aileviate traffic problems on White Beaz Avenue. The plan alsa identifies a need to redesign the commercial signage to eliminate visuai clutter and a need to improve the pedestrian environment through lighting and streetscape improvements. The Hillcrest site is in need of public improvements such as landscaping, lighting, streetscape and redesigned/relocated curb cuts. 5ite assembly and{or preparation of the vacant parcels for development may be necessary. 20 (l) Tzraco Site The Texaco site is in the 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 Mobil Oil Tank Fann on the North. This 41.4 acre site is curtently the location of a Texaco Oil Tank field. Reuse of the oil tanks themselves is unlikely. Si�ty-seven (67) percent of the tax pazcels aze occupied. Soil conditions aze ea-tremely problematical for tius site. Environmental contamination has occurred and must be conected prior to any redevelopment activities. The oil tanks aze obsolete and constitute an underutilization of this properiy. Private inveshnent alone cannot be expected to cover all costs of redevelopment. Redevelopment assistance is needed through possible site assembly andior prepararion of site including soil correction; and could also include public improvements (streets, utilities, streetscape and landscaping). (m) West Seventh Street/Grand The West Seventh StreeUCrrand area consists of approximately 2.5 acres bounded by Grand Avenue on the north, Smith Avenue on the west, Leech Street on the east and West Seventh Street on the southeast. The area is chazacterized by fragmented ownership, as well as varying and incompatible land uses, which include office, residential, retail commercial and automobile services. Eighty percent of the site as occupied by structures and twenty percent is vacant. Although the area is bounded by three major traffic carriers (Smith Avenue, Grand Avenue and West Seventh Street), it remains underutilized. It may be necessary to assist redevelopment in this area through site assembly and preparation and public improvements such as lighting and streetscape improvements. (n) Highland/Dona[dson Site This site is 5.5 acre pazcel located on the southwest corner of Ford Parkway and Cleveland Avenue. This "L" shaped parcel is bounded by Ford Pazkway on the north, Cleveland Avenue on the east, Highland Manor Apartrnents on the south and Highland Village Center on the west. The property is currently zoned B-3 and is occupied by a three-story department store building of approximately 90,000 square feet. The remainder of the site is underutilized surface pazking. The basis 21 oh/l�l`� for including the site is the underutilized nature of the parcel. (o) Phalen Village The Phalen Village area consists of approximately 165 acres and is generally bounded by Johnson Parkway on the west, Hazelwood on the east, the Clucago Northwestern railroad tracks on the south and Ivy on the north. The site is located in the northeast section of the city. The site contains approxnnately 80 structures consisting of commercial, single- family and multi-family uses. Approximatelq 7% of the site is vacant land. The basis for including the Phalen Village site in the Redevelopment Plan is to remove conditions of blight and deterioration, to increase employment in the municipality, to preserve and enhance a taY base of the municipality, and to foster the creation and enhancement of housing. The Neighborhood Business Development Program identified the need to revitalize neighborhood commercial areas. These neighborhood redevelopment project areas are to be undertaken in neighborhood commercial areas contemplated by the City-wide Redevelopment Plan and Saint Paul Neighborhood Business Development Program. PLANIVING FRAMEWORK Regional, City and area plans that address the future of these project areas from the Twin Cities Metropolitan Development Framework, to the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan, to the University Avenue Plan, call for special public-private efforts to redevelop and revitalize the areas. The District's element of the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan calls for improvements in the functioning and aesthetics of commercial areas. It recommends the clustering of businesses to facilitate one-stop and compazison shopping. It also calls for City involvement in providing additional off-street parking. The District's element of the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan recognizes that rehabilitation and redevelopment require closer public-private cooperation than first-time, new development. It recommends that the City undertake a special district-level economic development plan for the neighborhood commercial areas. The Land Use element of the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan designates major intersections as a "Major Retail Cluster". It recommends the clustering of compatible mixed land uses in these azea, and calls for buffering between commercial and residential areas. The Streets and Highways 22 c� •��yy element of the Comprehensive Plan recommends the use of streets to shape land use pattems and provide buffers between different types of land use. These project areas are a part of Saint Paul's continuing effort to revitalize the City's neighborhood commercial strips. PURPOSE The purpose of this Redevelopment Plan is (a) to strengthen major commercial-office clusters; (b) to encourage office, commerciai, and institutional redevelopment in areas; (c) to develop and redevelop properly within the redevelopment areas which qualify as blighted and deteriorated under the Housing and Redevelopment Act, Section 469.002 Subd. 11 and 13 (1), as underused or inappropriately used land or space under Section 469.002 Subd. 13 (3) and (6), and as a redevelopment or economic district under the Ta;� Increment Financing Act, Section 469.174 Subd. 10; (d) to assist in the undertaking of a Redevelopment Project as defined in SectSon 469.002 Subd. 13 (1), (3), (4), (5), and (6). OBJECTIVES The primary overall development objective of this Redevelopment District is to eliminate and/or improve those existing conditions which serve to impair the health, safety and general welfare o£ the citizens of the City of Saint Paul, and which also serve to inflict an economic blight upon existing private investment in the District, threaten the source of public revenue, and induce many members of the surrounding neighborhood to no longer consider the area an attractive place in which to reside or do business. The conditions which have been found to exist which cause the above noted factors include unsafe and unsanitary housing conditions, building obsolescence or fau1Ty arrangement in building design or improvement and deleterious land use. The primary objective of this Redevelopment Plan is to remove andlor improve the conditions noted above through public intervention so that private enterprise will achieve the means and encouragement to provide both housing and commercial revitalization to the area. Additional general development objectives related to the above are: Establishing cooperafion among the many different groups that can and must wark together to improve the area. Business, properiy owners, bankers, local officials, business groups and citizen councils must work together to continuously promote and improve the district. 2. Creating and marketing a positive image of the district to attract new customers and investors. 3. Enhance the visual quality of the district by improving the elements of the environment; buildings, storefronts, vacant parcels, landscaping, signs, 23 DI 1/`/��/ merchandising displays and promotional material all need to be addressed. 4. Economic diversification, recruiting of new and varied store types to provide a balanced retail mix. Conversion of unused space and 'unproving the competitiveness of e�sting businesses in the district. Specific objectives to be achieved within the context of the foregoing are as follows: To carry out a comprehensive plan of rehabilitation, conservation and redevelopment which will create and maintain a sound commercial and residential community. To remove blight and conditions of deterioration by: a. acquisition and removal of shucturally substandazd buildings. b. acquisition and elimina6on of obsolete buildings which aze not capable of rehabilitation, are improperly converted, or which create conflicting land uses or ather blighting influences. c. undeitaking a program of code enforcement with the appropriate City departments to ensure that hazazdous conditions are either conected trough rehabilitation or eliminated through demolition. d. to carry out a public program of acquisition and rehabilitation of deficient buildings; to demonstrate feasibility of rehabilitation; to provide relocation resources for families and businesses displaced by project activities. e. to provide adequate redevelopment sites for residential and commercial uses, and encourage new private investment and participation of redevelopment of these uses by members of the community. To coordinate acquisition, site preparation and improvements and facilities, and to spread and equalize the costs thereof, in order to accomplish the entire project development at a cost reasonably related to the public purpose to be served. 4. To provide private developers with information regarding zoning; land use controls and other Cily and Plan requirements; informafion and assistance in obtaining construction and permanent fmancing; information and assistance regarding construction of site and public improvements and measures necessary to correct site conditions, all in accordance with development agreements. 5. To fmance development by a combination of private and public financing under 24 o��1�F authority and subject to the requirements of federal, state and local law and ordinance for the provision of revenue bond financing. 6. To provide such public improvements as aze necessary to stimulate private inveshnent and reinvestment in the redevelopment areas. 7. To maintain and strengthen employment opportw�ities, services, and t� base by attracting retail businesses, personal and professional services, and offices. To reduce automobile-pedesri conflicts and create more attractive pedesh oriented environments. 9. To provide adequate parking in the redevelopment azeas and to encourage the joint use of shared paxking facilities. 10. To redevelop the area in conformance with the City's Comprehensive Plan and the Capitol Area Architectural and Planning Board's Comprehensive Plan. 11. To utilize public fmancial resources in a manner that is in conformance with the City's adopted Capitol Allocation Policies. IV. REDEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES Historically, the role of the public sector in urban redevelopment has been to provide controls and incentives in order to encourage and obtain needed development. In order to counteract a combination of adverse economic conditions, patterns of investment and reinvestment, and physical environmental conditions wl�ich have worked to the detriment of the redevelopment of aging, built urban azeas, this role has been changing to one of an active partner and participant in needed redevelopment. This plan envisions the permitted use of a11 techniques or powers currently authorized through applicable statutes. No provision of this plan is to be taken to limit the full exercise of these powers. This plan envisions the permitted use of all techniques or powers authorized through Minnesota Statutes 469.001 through 469.043, 469.172 through 469181 and Chapter 469.152 tlu�ough 469.165 by the City and HRA, or other public agencies as appropriate and necessary to carry out the implementation of this Plan.

III, STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES OF THE REDEVELOPVIENT PLAN BACKGROUND (a) Spruce Tree Ce�itre The Snellin�-University intersection is located in the heart of the Midway area of Saint Paul, midway between do��ntown Saint Paul and do�� ntown Minneapolis. The Midway area grew up alona the University Avenue street car line, which connected the two downtowns. The early 1900's saw the development of smail commercial areas along University Avenue to serve adjacent neighborhoods. With . 14 oi-i��y � the growin� popularity of the automobile, however, the A��enue became an automobile rather than nei�hborhood oriented commercial strip. The result has been coiilmercial development that conflicts �vith adjacent nei�hborhoods, inadequate parking, and structures that are obsolete. Competition with suburban land and build n abon�nUnive sity Avenue, and a deterio ating im a e tilized The Snellin�-University intersection is a focus of the re�ional transportation network and has a very high traffice volume. It has remained an at-�rade intersection because of the limitations imposed by existing development around it. The Snelling-University intersection is the the most hea��ily traceled at-grade intersection in the Twin Cities. Heavy vehicular traffice volume at Snellina University, a commercial area originally built around pedestrians and street cars, has resulted in dan�erous automobile-pedestrian conflicts. It has also resulted in serious air quality problems. The Snellin�-Uni��ersity intersection is the only site in the Twin Cities region which violates federal carbond monoxide standards. The Midway area contains major retait, office, industrial, and medical facilities. The area is second only to the downtow'n in its importance to the Saint Paul economy. The Twin Cities Metropolitan Developn7e�zt Frame��'ork point out, � however, that considerable renewal, additions to its pllysical plant, and perhaps a transit link ��'ith the downYO��ns will be required if the Nlidway is to remain a majos activity center. Tlle Development Framework recommeno ential for com nunotp}Ilretail�- oJrvice where market analysis indicates stron� p centers. Deteriorated and obsolete building at Snelling-University create an image of a declining commercial strip. Automobile-pedestrian conflicts and a lack of parking keeps customer away. Customers and businesses a like �o to more desirable commercial areas. The result is declining retail activity and tas base, declining employment opportunities, and more deterioration. The deterioration and confluct with residential land use lo�tiers the value of nearby residential areas as well. (b) Metz Bakery Area The Metz Bakery Redevelopment site is located in the north captiol neighborhood . I� OI -II �/�f � i � (c) (d) ��liich is immediately north of the State Capitol. The north capitol neighborhood is one of Saint Paul`s oldest neighborhoods. Initial seetleinent ocurred in the 1870's spurred on by street car lines on University Avenue and Rice Street. The single most important influence on the neighborhood �vas the relocation of the State Capitol at its present site in 190�. Currently the neighborhood is a mi�ture of residential, commercial, institutional, and government uses. Bethesda Lutheran Medical Center, a large and growin� complea, dominates the neighborhood. The remaining portions of the neighborhood are less stable. The commercial businesses along Rice and University continue to struggle for an identity. While some residential area such as the Winter Street area have stabilized, the rest of the residential areas are quite depressed. Tlte redevelopment site is a mixturz of commercial, residential, and vacant structures. The most prominent structure is the old ��acant Metz Bakery Buildin� �vhich is structurally unrehabable. Frontin� on Charles, Sherburne, and Park are 12 dilapidated residential structures. The remainder of the site cor.sists of 5 buildin�s on Rice Street which house an asortment of commercial activities. Hn�rtn:ond Project The Hammond Project is located at 1885 University Avenue in the City of Saint Paul. The Project �vas undertaken in 1982 as part of the City-«'ide Redevelopment Plan adopted pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 462 (the Municipal Housing and Redevelopment Act) by the Authority on October 27, 1981 and by the City Council on October 27, 1981.

Universiry Avertue EastArea The Uni��ersity A�enue East Area is bounded generally by Victoria Street on the ��est, Sherburne Avenue on the north, Rice Street on the east, and Aurora Avenue on the south. A variety of conditions exist that establish the need for including this site in the Redevelopment Plan. May of the buildings are obsolete, underutilized, contain inappropriate or incompatible land uses. These building locations are in a 16 o�-i�µy � remove conditions of blight and deterioration (the old Prom Building), to redevelop acquired land in accordance w�ith the rede�'elopment plan, to increase employment in the municipality, to preserve and enhance a tax base of the municipality, and to satisfy the redevelopment strate�ies of the redevelopment strategy section of the city-w�ide redevelopment plan. , .._,. . : - - . _ _ +- -- - - - . - - - - . -�..... � (k) Arcade/Pay�ie/East Seventlt Streef � The Pay�ne/Arcade/East Seventh Street site consists of appro�imately 45 acres.

The site is a mixture of B2 and B3 zoning, alon� ��'ith a large planned development zoning (Seeger Square). It contains 1�3 improved properties. The site is 90% utilized by buildinas, parkino and roads. The basis for including the Payne/Arcade/East Secenth Street site into the Redevelopment District is to remove bli�ht and deterioration, and to redevelop acquired land in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan. (i) Snelli�:g ar:d University The Midway Center site consists of approximately 18 acres, bordered by St. Anthony Avenue on the south, Hamline Aw�enue on the east, and Spruce Tree Centre on the west. The northem boundary is Fry to Sherburne to Pascal to University Avenue. The site is commercial use in a B-2 and a B-3 zone. It contains 14 existin� buildings. Of these buildings, one is a strip commercial center which is in need of � substantial renovation. Anothzr building is an economic, obsolescent one million 18 a /- ��Sly • square foot «�arehouse. The rest of the site is made up of 12 structures, most of �r�hich require substantial renovation to brin� them up to standard. The site is 100% utilized by buildin�s, parkins and roads. There are no vacant sites �vithin this district The basis for includin� the Midway Site into the Nei�hborhood Redevelopment Project Area is to remove bli�ht and deterioration, to redevelop acquired ]and in accordance with the rede��elopment plan, to increase employnient in municipality, to preserve and enhance a tax base of the municipality, and to satisfy the redevelopment strate�ies of the redevelopment section of the City Wide Plan. The Snellin�/Uni��ersity site consists of approximately 80 acres, bordered by St. Anthony Avenue on the south, Snelling and Spruce Tree Centre on the west. Sherburne and liniversity Avenues on the north, and Hamline on the east. The site contains thirty-five struchires, four of which are located ou tlie Midway Shoppin� Center parcel and t�vo of which are located on the Montgomery Ward's parcel. The zonina of the site is a mixture of B-2, Community Business District; B-3, General Business District; I-1, Industrial District; and a PD, Planned De� elopinent (Spruce Tree Centre). One residential structure, containina 16 d�celling units, is located in the area. The remainder of the structures are in non- residential use. � The site is fully utilized by bulldings, parking lots and roads. The strip commercial centu is in need of substantial renovation. Another buiiding is an uneconomical, obsolescent one million square foot �varehouse. A third structure is used as a bus garase and stora�e yard. The area has been recognized as serving as a regional shopping center. However, a significant amount of existine floor area is not being utilized as retail, but rather exists as underutilized warehouse, garage or storage yard. It is felt that the subregional shoppin� center devetopment proposal on the Wards block ��ill spur deretopment on the vacant land currentl}� located bei�ind the Midway Shopping Center. The basis for including the Snelling/University site in the Neighborhood Redevelopment Project Area is to remove blight and deterioration, to redevelop acquired land in accordance with the redevelopinent plan, to altzr t;ie land use pattern of underutilized structures, to increase employment in the municipality, to preserve and enhance a tax base of the municipalit} and to satisfy the redevelopment strategies of the redevelopment section of the City Wide Plan. � (j) Unisys Properry 19 o�-ii yY � The Unisys site consists of the �'est end of a block bounded by �Vest 5eventh Street, Maynard Brive, Ste�n�art and Davem. ��ithin that block tlie east boundary is a property line runnin� southeast and east of Davem on West Seventh.

This 41.4 acre site is currently the location of a Texaco Oil Tank field. Reuse of the oll tanks themselves is unlikely. Sixty-seven (67) percent of the tax parcels are occupied. Soil conditions are extremely problematical for this site. Environmental contamination has occurred and must be corrected prior to any rede��elopment activities. The oil tanks are obsolete and constitute an underutilization of this property. Private im�estment alone cannot be expected to cover all costs of redevelopment. Redevelopment assistance is needed through possible site lssembly and/or przparation of site including soil correction; and could aiso include public improvements (streets, utilities, streetscape and landscaping). West Sevetrtl: Street/Gras:d The �Vest Seventh StreeUGrand area consists of approximately 2.5 acres bounded by Grand Avenue on the north, Smith Avenue on the west, Leech Street on the east and West Seventh Street on the southeast. The area is characterized by fragmented ownership, as well as � arying and incompatible land uses, which include office, residential, retail commercial and automobile services. Eighty percent of the site is occupied by structures and twent�• percent is vacant. Although the area is bounded by three major traffic carriers (Smith Avenue, Grand A�-�enue and West Seventh Street), it remains underutilized. It ma�� be necessary to assist rede� elopment in this area through site assembly and preparation and public improvements such as lighting and streetscape improcements.

The property is cunently zoned B-3 and is occupied by a three-story department store building of appro�imately 90,000 square feet. The remainder of the site is underutilized surface parking. The basis 21 oi-,�� for including the site is the undzrutilized nature of the parcel. (o) Plralen Village The Phalen Village azea consists of approximately 16� acres and is generally bounded by Johnson Parkway on the west, Hazehcood on the east, the Chicago I�'orthwestem railroad tracks on the south and Ivy on tl�e north. The site is located in the northeast section of the city. The site contains approximately 80 structures consistin� of commercial, single- family and multi-family uses. Approximate]y 7% of the site is vacant land. The basis for including the Phalen Village site in the Redevelopment Plan is to remove conditions of blight and deterioration, to increase employment in the municipality, to preserve and enhance a tax base of the municipality, and to foster the creation and enhancement of housing. The Nei�hborhood Business Development Program identified the need to revitalize nei�hborhood coinmercial areas. These neighborl�ood redevelopinent project areas are to . be undertaken in neighborhood cotnmercial areas contemplated by die Cit}'-�vide Redevelopment Plan and Saint Paul Neiahborhood Business Development Program. PLANNING FRAMEWORK Regional. City and area plans that address the future of these project areas from the Twin Cities Metropolitan Development Framework, to the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan, to the University Avemte Plan, call for special public-private efforts to redevelop and revitalize the areas. The District's element of the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan calls for improvements in the functioning and aesthetics of commercial areas. It recommends tl�e clustering of businesses to facilitate one-stop and comparison shopping. It also cails for City involo�ement in providing additional off-street parking. The District's element of the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan recognizes that rehabilitation and redevelopment requice closer public-private cooperation than first-time, ne�v development. It recommends that the City undertake a special district-levei economic development plan for the nei�hborhood commercial areas. The Land Use element of the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan designates major intersections as a "Major Retail Cluster". It recommends the clustering of compatible miszd land uses in these � area, and calls for buffering between commercial and residential areas. The Streets and Highways 22 oi-�i y y , element of the Comprehensive Plan recommends the use of streets to shape land use patterns and pro�ide buffers bet�veen differenttypes ofland use. These project areas are a part of Saint PauPs continuing effort to revitalize the City's neishborhood commercial strips. PIIRPOSE Thz purpose of this Redevelopment Plan is (a) to strengthen major commercial-office clusters; (b) to encouia�e office, commercial, and institutional redevelopment in areas; (c) to develop and redeeelop property within the redevelopment areas �z-hich qualify as bli�hted and deteriorated under the Housing and Redevelopment Act, Section 469.002 Subd. 11 and 13 (1), as underused or inappropriately used land or space under Section 469.002 Subd. 13 (3) and (6), and as a redevelopment or economic district under the Tax Increment Financing Act, Section 469.174 Subd. 10; (d) to assist in the undertaking of a Redevelopment Project as defined in Section 469.002 Subd. 13 (1), (3), (4), (�), and (6). OBJECTIV�S The primary o�'era11 development objective of this Redeve(opment District is to eliminate and/or improve those existin� conditions which serve to impair the health, safety and general welfare of � tlie citizens of the City of Saint Paul, and which also serve to inflict an economic blight upon existing private investment in the District, threaten the source of public revenue, and induce many members of tlie surroundin� nei�hborhood to no longer consider the area an attractive place in �ihich to reside or do business. The conditions which have been found to ezist which cause the abo��e noted factors include unsafe and unsanitary housin� conditions, building obsolescence or faulty arrangement in buildin� design or improvement and deleterious land use.
