Findings for the Modification of the Project Area and the Creation of Phalen Village 35 Tax Increment Financing District and the Modification of the Redevelopment Pian and adopfion of the 36 TaY Increment Financing Plan. 37 2.01 The City Council hereby finds that the modification of the Project Area and the creation 38 of the Phalen Village T� Increment Financing District, the modification of the Redevelopment Plan 39 and adoption of the TaY Increment Plan, are intended and, in the judgment of the City Council, its 40 effect will be, to carry out the objectives of the Redevelopment Plan and to create an impetus for the 41 redevelopment of blighted rental housing facilities, and the construction of mixed income, owner- 42 occupied housing units, and will otherwise promote certain public purposes and accomplish certain 43 objectives as specified in the Redevelopment Plan and Tas Increment Financing Plan. 44 2.02 The City Council hereby finds, in connection with the modification of the 45 Redevelopment P1an that (a) the land to be added to the Project Area would not be made available for 4b redevelopment without the financial aid to be sought, (b) the Redevelopment Plan, as modified, affords 47 the maxunuxn opportunity, consistent with the needs of the City of Saint Paul as a whole, for the 48 redevelopment of the area by private enterprise, and (c) the Redevelopment Plan, as modified, 49 conforxns to the general plan far the development of the City as a whole. 50 2.03 The City Council hereby finds that the Phalen Village Taz� Increment Financing District 51 qualifies as a"redevelopment district" within the meaning of the Taac Increment Act for the following 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 reasons: The District is, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(a)(1), a "redevelopment district" because it consists of a project or portions of a project or a portion of a project within which the following conditions, reasonably distributed throughout the District, exist: (1) parcels consisting of at least 70% of the area of the District area occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, or other improvements; and (2) more than 50% of the buildings aze "structurally substandard" (within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, subdivision 10(b)) to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance. The District consists of 53 parcels, and 86.8% of the area of the parcels aze occupied as set forth above. There are 66 buildings located in the Tax Increment Financing District and at least 40 of which (constituting 60.6%) aze structurally substandard to a degree requiring renovation or clearance. The buildings are structurally substandard because they contain defects in structural elements or a combinaYion of deficiencies in essential utilities and facilities, light and ventilation, fire protection including adequate egress, layout and condition of interior partitions, or similar factors, which defects or deficiencies are of sufficient total significance to justify substantial renovation or clearance, specifically defects in structural elements. More than 50% of the buildings within the District have been found to be structurally substandard and not in compliance with applicable building codes, and could not be brought into such compliance at a cost of less than 15% of the cost of constructing new stnxctures of the same size and type on the subject sites, respectively. The supporting facts for these determinations are on file with the staff of the Authority and 309297v1 2 74 include but are not limited to the Report on Struchxrally Substandazd Building dated July 3, 2001 75 prepazed by Elness Swenson Graham Architects. 76 2.04 The City Council hereby makes the foliowing findings: 77 78 79 80 . �; : ., 86 87 88 89 01 � �1� (a) The City Council fiirther finds that the proposed development, in the opinion of the City Council, would not occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and, therefore, the use oftaY increment financing is deemed necessary. The specific basis for such finding being: The properiy on which the rental housing development will occur would not be developed in the reasonably foreseeable future since it currently contains many substandard rental buildings under fragmented ownership. The Authority has received representa6ons from housing developers that thep could not proceed with the contemplated development without taY increment assistance. (b) The City Council further finds that the Tas Increment Financing Plan will afford maa�imuxn opportunity consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole for the development of the Tax Increment District by private enterprise. The specific basis for such finding being: 90 The proposed development to occur within the Tax Increment District is housing. 91 The development will increase the tasable mazket valuation of the City. The 92 available housing in the City will expand by more than 56 owner occupied units 93 with the completion of the development contemplated by the Tax Increment 94 Financing Plan. The condition of the existing rental housing units will be 95 substantially improved. 96 (c) For purposes of compliance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 3(2), 97 the City Council hereby finds that the increased muket value of the property to be developed 98 within the TaY Increment District that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of 99 tax increment financing is $0, which is less than the mazket value estimated to result from the 100 proposed development (i.e., $3,184,700) after subtracting the present value of the projected taac 101 increments far the maximuxn duration of the Tan Increment District (i.e., $1,832,467). In making 102 these findings, the City Council has noted that the property has been undeveloped or blighted far 103 many years and would likely remain so if tas increment financing is not available. Thus, the use 104 of tax increment financing wiil be a positive net gain to the City, the School District, and the 105 County, and the taY increment assistance does not exceed the benefit which will be derived 1Q6 therefrom. 107 2.05 The provisions of this Section 2 are hereby incorporated by reference into and made a 108 part of the Tax Increment Financing Plan. 109 Section 3. Modification of the Project Area and Creation of the Phalen Village Tax Increment 110 Financing District and the Modification of the Redevelopment Plan and approval of the Ta�c Increment 111 Financing Plan. 112 3 A 1 The modification of the Project Area and the creation of the Phalen Village Tax 113 Increment Financing District are hereby approved, and the Redevelopment Plan, as modified, and T� 7309297v1 f id Increment Financing Plan are hereby adopted, in the form on file with Execurive Director of the O , �.�e�4' 115 Authority. 116 3.02 The staff of the Authority and the Authority's advisors and legal counsel are authorized 117 and directed to proceed with the implementafion of the Taa� Increment District and for this purpose to 118 negotiate, draft, prepaze and present to the Board of Commissioners of the Authority for its 119 consideration a11 futther plans, resolutions, documents and contracts necessary for this purpose.

The early 1900's saw the development of small commercial areas along University Avenue to serve adjacent neighborhoods. With the growing popularity of the automobile, however, the Avenue became an automobile rather than neighborhood oriented commercial ship. The result has been commercial development that conflicts with adjacent neighborhoods, inadequate pazking, and structures that aze obsolete. Competition with suburban commercial centers begimiing 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 high traffice volume. It has remained an at-grade intersection because of the limitations imposed by existing development around it. The Snelling-University intersection is the the most heavily traveled at-grade intersection in the Twin Cities. Heavy vehiculaz traffice volume at Snelling-University, a commercial azea originally built azound 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 majar retail, office, industrial, and medical facilities. The area is second only to the downtown in its importance to the Saint Paui economy. The Twin Cities Metropolitan Development Framework 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 activity center. The Development Framework recommends selective redevelopment projects where market analysis indicates strong poten6al for community retail-service centers. Deteriorated and obsolete building at Snelling-University create an image of a declining commercial strip. Automobile-pedestrian conflicts and a lack of pazking keeps customer away. Customers and businesses a like go to more desirable commercial areas. The resuit is declining retail activity and tax base, declining employment opporiunities, and more deterioration. The deterioration and confluct with residentiai land use lowers the value of nearby residential areas as well. 13 p � _rL � (b) MetzBakeryArea The Metz Bakery Redevelopment site is located in tl�e north captiol neighborhood wluch is immediately north of the State Capitol. The north capitol neighborhood is one of Saint Paul's oldest neighborhoods. Initial seetlement ocurred in the 1870's spurred on by street caz lines on University Avenue and Rice Street. The single most important influence on the neighborhood was the relocation of the State Capitol at its present site in 1905. Currently the neighborhood is a mixture of residential, commercial, institutional, and government uses. Bethesda Lutheran Medical Center, a large and growing complex, 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 aze quite depressed. The redevelopment site is a mixture of commerciai, residential, and vacant structures. The most prominent structure as the old vacant Metz Bakery Building which is structurally unrehababie. 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 Hammond 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 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. A Tax Increment Financing District was created pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Sections 273.71 through 273.78 (Tax Increment Financing Act) by City Council Resolution No. 279109 adopted August 28, 1982, which District was identified as the T� 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. 14 o►-��' 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 haphazazd manner, preventing new development by causing high development costs, inciuding site assembiy and site preparation, and renovation or demolition. For these reasons, the private market has been unable to utilize this prnne location to its fixll 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 tq is to eliminate and/or improve those existing condtions which serve to impair the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Saint Paul, and which also serve to inflict an economic blight upon e�sting private investment in the azea, threaten source of public revenue, and induce members of the surrounding neighborhood to no longer consider the azea an attractive piace in which to reside or do business. (e) Rice Street The Rice Street azea is located within the perimeters of Hatch Street, Albemarle Street, Sycamore Street, Park Street, Jackson Street and Empire Pazk. 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 requiring substantial work. Commercial conditions consist of major deterioration, unoccupied buildings require minor maintenance. The basis for including Rice Street is funcfionally 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 Aivision Block 1, Lots 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 substandazd Prom Building which was demolished to clear the site for potential development. The Prom Building was substandard in structure and the office building would require minor renovation. The site had zero percent of the properiy vacant until the recent demolition of the Prom Building. Currently the site has one parcel containing a building and the other two 15 b t-�q� vacant. The basis for including the Prom Center site in the Redevelopment Plan are to remove conditions of blight and deterioration (the old Prom Building), to redevelop acquired land in accordance with the redevelopment plan, to increase employment in the municipality, 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. (g) Concord/Robert The Concord/Robert site is located on Saint Paul's West Side and includes those pazcels within one-half block of Concord Street between Congress and Ada Streets. Concord Street is an aging commercial strip with numerous vacant and dilapidated structures. Many of the commercial building are obsolete and are a blighting influence on the area. In some case, rehabilitation is infeasibie and redevelopment could not be expected to occur depending solely on private resources. (h) Arcade/Payne/East Seventh Street The Payne/Arcade/East Seventh Street site consists of approximately 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 Railroad Tracks and East to Forest)_ The site is a mixture of B2 and B3 zoning, along with a large planned development zoning (Seeger Square). It contains 158 improved properties. The site is 9Q°/u utilized by buildings, pazking and roads. The basis for including the PaynelArcade/East Seventh Street site into the Redevelopment District is to remove blight and deterioration, and to redevelop acquired land in accardance 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. 16 o � -��r The site is coxnmercial 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 substanrial renovation. Another building is an economic, obsolescent one million square foot warehouse. The rest of the site is made up of 12 structures, most of which require substantial renovation to bring them up to standard. The site is 100% utilized by buildings, pazking and roads. There are no vacant sites within this district. The basis for including 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 section 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. Sherburne and University Avenues on the north, and Hamline on the east. The site contains thiriy-five structures, four of which are located on the Midway Shopping Center pazcel 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 District; B-3, General Business District; I-1, Industrial District; and a PD, Planned Development (Spruce Tree Centre). One residential structure, containing 16 dwelling units, is located in the area. The remainder of the shuctures aze in non- residentiai 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 square 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 wazehouse, garage 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/[Jniversity site in the Neighborhood Redevelopment Project Area is to remove blight and deterioration, to redevelop acquired land in accordance with the redevelopment plan, to aiter the land use pattern of underutilized structures, to increase employxnent in the municipality, to preserve and enhance a tas base of the municipality, and to satisfy the 17 o � -'1gE' redevelopment strategies of the redevelopment section of the City Wide Plan. (j) Unisys Praperty The Unisys site consists of the west end of a block bounded by West Seventh Street, Maynard Drive, Stewart and Davern. Within that block the east boundary is a property line n,nning southeast and east of Davern on West Seventh. A second portion of the site is a S.11 vacant pazcel in the middle of the block bounded by Stewart, Alton, Shepazd Road and Davern. The 18.6 acre site is a mixture of commercial and light industrial uses. An Amoco Service Station and a bar/restaurant occupy approximately 43,000 squaze 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 pazk and ride firm. The site south of Steward is a 5.11 acre undeveloped parcel immediately east of the UNISYS pazking 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 L7NISYS/MPR site is the underutilized nature of the site. Part of this is directly attributable to the soil condifions-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 Place on the east. Twenty percent of the site is vacant and $0% is occupied by buildings which comprise a commercial strip center. Hillcrest Center's first stares date from the late 1940's, with most of the other buildings completed around 1961. Hillcrest's aging structures are in need of renovation and rehabilitation. In addition, the district plan calls for a xedesign of ingress and egress &om the pazking lots in order to alleviate traffic problems on White Bear Avenue. The plan also identifies a need to redesign the commercial signage to eliminate visual 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. Site assembly and/or prepazation of the vacant parceis for development may be necessary. m o�-'�' (1) Texaco Site The Texaco site is in the southem 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 currently the location of a Texaco Oil Tank field. Reuse of the oil tanks themselves is unlikely. Sixty-seven (67) percent of the tas parcels aze occupied. Soil conditions aze extremely problematical for this site. Environmental contamination has occurred and must be corrected prior to any redevelopment activities. The oil tanks are obsolete and constitute an underutilization of this properry. Private investment alone cannot be expected to cover all costs of redevelopment. Redevelopment assistance is needed through possible site assembly and/or prepazation of site including soil correction; and could also include public improvements (streets, utiliries, streetscape and landscaping). (m) West Seventh StreedGrand The West 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 chazacterized by fragmented ownership, as weil as varying and incompatible land uses, which include o�ce, residential, retail commercial and automobile services. Eighty percent of the site is occupied by shuctures and twenty percent is vacant. Although the area is bounded by three mayor tra�c 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/Donaldson Site This site is 5.5 acre parcel located on the southwest corner of Fard Parkway and Cleveland Avenue. This °L" shaped pazcel is bounded by Ford Parkway on the north, Cleveland Avenue on the east, Highland Manor Apamnents on the south and Highiand Village Center on the west. The property is currently zoned B-3 and is occupied by a three-story department store buiiding of approximately 90,000 squaze feet. The remainder of the site is underufilized surface parking. The basis 19 o�-��r for including the site is the underutilized natute of the pazcel.

These neighborhood redevelopment project azeas are to be undertaken in neighborhood commercial areas contemplated by the City-wide Redevelopment Plan and Saint Paul Neighborhood Business Development Program. PLANNING FRANLEWORK Regional, City and area plans that address the future of these project azeas from the Twin Cities Metropolitan Development Framewark, 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 comparison 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 20 o� -��e' redevelopment require closer public-private cooperation than first-t'vne, new development. It recommends that the City undertake a special district-level economic development plan for the neighbarhood commercial azeas. The Land Use element of the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan designates major intersections as a "Major Retail Clustez". It recommends the clustering of compatible miYed land uses in these azea, and calls for buffering between commercial and residential azeas. The Streets and Highways 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 azeas; (c) to develop and redevelop properiy 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 Secfion 469.002 Subd. 13 (3) and (6), and as a redevelopment or economic district under the Tas Increment Financing Act, Section 469.174 Subd. 10; (d) to assist in the undertaki�g of a Redevelopment Project as defined in Section 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 impa3r the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Saint Paul, and which also serve to inflict an economic blight upon existing private invesUnent 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 faulty arrangement in building design or improvement and deleterious land use.

To utilize public financiai resources in a manner that is in conformance with the Ciry's adopted Capitol Allocation Policies. IV. REDEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES Historically, the role of the public sector in arban 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 environxnental conditions which have worked to the detriment of the redevelopment of aging, built urban areas, this role has been changing to one of an active partner and participant in needed redevelopment. This plan envisions the permitted use of all techniques or powers currently authorized through applicable statutes. No provision of this plan is to be taken to limit the full exercise o£ these powers. This plan envisions the pernutted use of all techniques or powers authorized through Minnesota Statutes 469.001 through 469.043, 469.172 through 469.181 and Chapter 469.152 through 469.165 by the City and HRA, or other public agencies as appropriate and necessary to cany out the implementation of this Plan.

Findings for the Modification of the Project Area and the Creation of Phalen Village 35 Tax Increment Financing District and the Modification of the Redevelopment Pian and adopfion of the 36 TaY Increment Financing Plan. 37 2.01 The City Council hereby finds that the modification of the Project Area and the creation 38 of the Phalen Village T� Increment Financing District, the modification of the Redevelopment Plan 39 and adoption of the TaY Increment Plan, are intended and, in the judgment of the City Council, its 40 effect will be, to carry out the objectives of the Redevelopment Plan and to create an impetus for the 41 redevelopment of blighted rental housing facilities, and the construction of mixed income, owner- 42 occupied housing units, and will otherwise promote certain public purposes and accomplish certain 43 objectives as specified in the Redevelopment Plan and Tas Increment Financing Plan. 44 2.02 The City Council hereby finds, in connection with the modification of the 45 Redevelopment P1an that (a) the land to be added to the Project Area would not be made available for 4b redevelopment without the financial aid to be sought, (b) the Redevelopment Plan, as modified, affords 47 the maxunuxn opportunity, consistent with the needs of the City of Saint Paul as a whole, for the 48 redevelopment of the area by private enterprise, and (c) the Redevelopment Plan, as modified, 49 conforxns to the general plan far the development of the City as a whole. 50 2.03 The City Council hereby finds that the Phalen Village Taz� Increment Financing District 51 qualifies as a"redevelopment district" within the meaning of the Taac Increment Act for the following 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 reasons: The District is, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(a)(1), a "redevelopment district" because it consists of a project or portions of a project or a portion of a project within which the following conditions, reasonably distributed throughout the District, exist: (1) parcels consisting of at least 70% of the area of the District area occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, or other improvements; and (2) more than 50% of the buildings aze "structurally substandard" (within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, subdivision 10(b)) to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance. The District consists of 53 parcels, and 86.8% of the area of the parcels aze occupied as set forth above. There are 66 buildings located in the Tax Increment Financing District and at least 40 of which (constituting 60.6%) aze structurally substandard to a degree requiring renovation or clearance. The buildings are structurally substandard because they contain defects in structural elements or a combinaYion of deficiencies in essential utilities and facilities, light and ventilation, fire protection including adequate egress, layout and condition of interior partitions, or similar factors, which defects or deficiencies are of sufficient total significance to justify substantial renovation or clearance, specifically defects in structural elements. More than 50% of the buildings within the District have been found to be structurally substandard and not in compliance with applicable building codes, and could not be brought into such compliance at a cost of less than 15% of the cost of constructing new stnxctures of the same size and type on the subject sites, respectively. The supporting facts for these determinations are on file with the staff of the Authority and 309297v1 2 74 include but are not limited to the Report on Struchxrally Substandazd Building dated July 3, 2001 75 prepazed by Elness Swenson Graham Architects. 76 2.04 The City Council hereby makes the foliowing findings: 77 78 79 80 . �; : ., 86 87 88 89 01 � �1� (a) The City Council fiirther finds that the proposed development, in the opinion of the City Council, would not occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and, therefore, the use oftaY increment financing is deemed necessary. The specific basis for such finding being: The properiy on which the rental housing development will occur would not be developed in the reasonably foreseeable future since it currently contains many substandard rental buildings under fragmented ownership. The Authority has received representa6ons from housing developers that thep could not proceed with the contemplated development without taY increment assistance. (b) The City Council further finds that the Tas Increment Financing Plan will afford maa�imuxn opportunity consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole for the development of the Tax Increment District by private enterprise. The specific basis for such finding being: 90 The proposed development to occur within the Tax Increment District is housing. 91 The development will increase the tasable mazket valuation of the City. The 92 available housing in the City will expand by more than 56 owner occupied units 93 with the completion of the development contemplated by the Tax Increment 94 Financing Plan. The condition of the existing rental housing units will be 95 substantially improved. 96 (c) For purposes of compliance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 3(2), 97 the City Council hereby finds that the increased muket value of the property to be developed 98 within the TaY Increment District that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of 99 tax increment financing is $0, which is less than the mazket value estimated to result from the 100 proposed development (i.e., $3,184,700) after subtracting the present value of the projected taac 101 increments far the maximuxn duration of the Tan Increment District (i.e., $1,832,467). In making 102 these findings, the City Council has noted that the property has been undeveloped or blighted far 103 many years and would likely remain so if tas increment financing is not available. Thus, the use 104 of tax increment financing wiil be a positive net gain to the City, the School District, and the 105 County, and the taY increment assistance does not exceed the benefit which will be derived 1Q6 therefrom. 107 2.05 The provisions of this Section 2 are hereby incorporated by reference into and made a 108 part of the Tax Increment Financing Plan. 109 Section 3. Modification of the Project Area and Creation of the Phalen Village Tax Increment 110 Financing District and the Modification of the Redevelopment Plan and approval of the Ta�c Increment 111 Financing Plan. 112 3 A 1 The modification of the Project Area and the creation of the Phalen Village Tax 113 Increment Financing District are hereby approved, and the Redevelopment Plan, as modified, and T� 7309297v1 f id Increment Financing Plan are hereby adopted, in the form on file with Execurive Director of the O , �.�e�4' 115 Authority. 116 3.02 The staff of the Authority and the Authority's advisors and legal counsel are authorized 117 and directed to proceed with the implementafion of the Taa� Increment District and for this purpose to 118 negotiate, draft, prepaze and present to the Board of Commissioners of the Authority for its 119 consideration a11 futther plans, resolutions, documents and contracts necessary for this purpose.

The early 1900's saw the development of small commercial areas along University Avenue to serve adjacent neighborhoods. With the growing popularity of the automobile, however, the Avenue became an automobile rather than neighborhood oriented commercial ship. The result has been commercial development that conflicts with adjacent neighborhoods, inadequate pazking, and structures that aze obsolete. Competition with suburban commercial centers begimiing 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 high traffice volume. It has remained an at-grade intersection because of the limitations imposed by existing development around it. The Snelling-University intersection is the the most heavily traveled at-grade intersection in the Twin Cities. Heavy vehiculaz traffice volume at Snelling-University, a commercial azea originally built azound 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 majar retail, office, industrial, and medical facilities. The area is second only to the downtown in its importance to the Saint Paui economy. The Twin Cities Metropolitan Development Framework 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 activity center. The Development Framework recommends selective redevelopment projects where market analysis indicates strong poten6al for community retail-service centers. Deteriorated and obsolete building at Snelling-University create an image of a declining commercial strip. Automobile-pedestrian conflicts and a lack of pazking keeps customer away. Customers and businesses a like go to more desirable commercial areas. The resuit is declining retail activity and tax base, declining employment opporiunities, and more deterioration. The deterioration and confluct with residentiai land use lowers the value of nearby residential areas as well. 13 p � _rL � (b) MetzBakeryArea The Metz Bakery Redevelopment site is located in tl�e north captiol neighborhood wluch is immediately north of the State Capitol. The north capitol neighborhood is one of Saint Paul's oldest neighborhoods. Initial seetlement ocurred in the 1870's spurred on by street caz lines on University Avenue and Rice Street. The single most important influence on the neighborhood was the relocation of the State Capitol at its present site in 1905. Currently the neighborhood is a mixture of residential, commercial, institutional, and government uses. Bethesda Lutheran Medical Center, a large and growing complex, 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 aze quite depressed. The redevelopment site is a mixture of commerciai, residential, and vacant structures. The most prominent structure as the old vacant Metz Bakery Building which is structurally unrehababie. 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 Hammond 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 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. A Tax Increment Financing District was created pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Sections 273.71 through 273.78 (Tax Increment Financing Act) by City Council Resolution No. 279109 adopted August 28, 1982, which District was identified as the T� 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. 14 o►-��' 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 haphazazd manner, preventing new development by causing high development costs, inciuding site assembiy and site preparation, and renovation or demolition. For these reasons, the private market has been unable to utilize this prnne location to its fixll 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 tq is to eliminate and/or improve those existing condtions which serve to impair the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Saint Paul, and which also serve to inflict an economic blight upon e�sting private investment in the azea, threaten source of public revenue, and induce members of the surrounding neighborhood to no longer consider the azea an attractive piace in which to reside or do business. (e) Rice Street The Rice Street azea is located within the perimeters of Hatch Street, Albemarle Street, Sycamore Street, Park Street, Jackson Street and Empire Pazk. 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 requiring substantial work. Commercial conditions consist of major deterioration, unoccupied buildings require minor maintenance. The basis for including Rice Street is funcfionally 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 Aivision Block 1, Lots 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 substandazd Prom Building which was demolished to clear the site for potential development. The Prom Building was substandard in structure and the office building would require minor renovation. The site had zero percent of the properiy vacant until the recent demolition of the Prom Building. Currently the site has one parcel containing a building and the other two 15 b t-�q� vacant. The basis for including the Prom Center site in the Redevelopment Plan are to remove conditions of blight and deterioration (the old Prom Building), to redevelop acquired land in accordance with the redevelopment plan, to increase employment in the municipality, 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. (g) Concord/Robert The Concord/Robert site is located on Saint Paul's West Side and includes those pazcels within one-half block of Concord Street between Congress and Ada Streets. Concord Street is an aging commercial strip with numerous vacant and dilapidated structures. Many of the commercial building are obsolete and are a blighting influence on the area. In some case, rehabilitation is infeasibie and redevelopment could not be expected to occur depending solely on private resources. (h) Arcade/Payne/East Seventh Street The Payne/Arcade/East Seventh Street site consists of approximately 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 Railroad Tracks and East to Forest)_ The site is a mixture of B2 and B3 zoning, along with a large planned development zoning (Seeger Square). It contains 158 improved properties. The site is 9Q°/u utilized by buildings, pazking and roads. The basis for including the PaynelArcade/East Seventh Street site into the Redevelopment District is to remove blight and deterioration, and to redevelop acquired land in accardance 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. 16 o � -��r The site is coxnmercial 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 substanrial renovation. Another building is an economic, obsolescent one million square foot warehouse. The rest of the site is made up of 12 structures, most of which require substantial renovation to bring them up to standard. The site is 100% utilized by buildings, pazking and roads. There are no vacant sites within this district. The basis for including 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 section 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. Sherburne and University Avenues on the north, and Hamline on the east. The site contains thiriy-five structures, four of which are located on the Midway Shopping Center pazcel 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 District; B-3, General Business District; I-1, Industrial District; and a PD, Planned Development (Spruce Tree Centre). One residential structure, containing 16 dwelling units, is located in the area. The remainder of the shuctures aze in non- residentiai 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 square 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 wazehouse, garage 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/[Jniversity site in the Neighborhood Redevelopment Project Area is to remove blight and deterioration, to redevelop acquired land in accordance with the redevelopment plan, to aiter the land use pattern of underutilized structures, to increase employxnent in the municipality, to preserve and enhance a tas base of the municipality, and to satisfy the 17 o � -'1gE' redevelopment strategies of the redevelopment section of the City Wide Plan. (j) Unisys Praperty The Unisys site consists of the west end of a block bounded by West Seventh Street, Maynard Drive, Stewart and Davern. Within that block the east boundary is a property line n,nning southeast and east of Davern on West Seventh. A second portion of the site is a S.11 vacant pazcel in the middle of the block bounded by Stewart, Alton, Shepazd Road and Davern. The 18.6 acre site is a mixture of commercial and light industrial uses. An Amoco Service Station and a bar/restaurant occupy approximately 43,000 squaze 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 pazk and ride firm. The site south of Steward is a 5.11 acre undeveloped parcel immediately east of the UNISYS pazking 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 L7NISYS/MPR site is the underutilized nature of the site. Part of this is directly attributable to the soil condifions-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 Place on the east. Twenty percent of the site is vacant and $0% is occupied by buildings which comprise a commercial strip center. Hillcrest Center's first stares date from the late 1940's, with most of the other buildings completed around 1961. Hillcrest's aging structures are in need of renovation and rehabilitation. In addition, the district plan calls for a xedesign of ingress and egress &om the pazking lots in order to alleviate traffic problems on White Bear Avenue. The plan also identifies a need to redesign the commercial signage to eliminate visual 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. Site assembly and/or prepazation of the vacant parceis for development may be necessary. m o�-'�' (1) Texaco Site The Texaco site is in the southem 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 currently the location of a Texaco Oil Tank field. Reuse of the oil tanks themselves is unlikely. Sixty-seven (67) percent of the tas parcels aze occupied. Soil conditions aze extremely problematical for this site. Environmental contamination has occurred and must be corrected prior to any redevelopment activities. The oil tanks are obsolete and constitute an underutilization of this properry. Private investment alone cannot be expected to cover all costs of redevelopment. Redevelopment assistance is needed through possible site assembly and/or prepazation of site including soil correction; and could also include public improvements (streets, utiliries, streetscape and landscaping). (m) West Seventh StreedGrand The West 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 chazacterized by fragmented ownership, as weil as varying and incompatible land uses, which include o�ce, residential, retail commercial and automobile services. Eighty percent of the site is occupied by shuctures and twenty percent is vacant. Although the area is bounded by three mayor tra�c 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/Donaldson Site This site is 5.5 acre parcel located on the southwest corner of Fard Parkway and Cleveland Avenue. This °L" shaped pazcel is bounded by Ford Parkway on the north, Cleveland Avenue on the east, Highland Manor Apamnents on the south and Highiand Village Center on the west. The property is currently zoned B-3 and is occupied by a three-story department store buiiding of approximately 90,000 squaze feet. The remainder of the site is underufilized surface parking. The basis 19 o�-��r for including the site is the underutilized natute of the pazcel.

These neighborhood redevelopment project azeas are to be undertaken in neighborhood commercial areas contemplated by the City-wide Redevelopment Plan and Saint Paul Neighborhood Business Development Program. PLANNING FRANLEWORK Regional, City and area plans that address the future of these project azeas from the Twin Cities Metropolitan Development Framewark, 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 comparison 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 20 o� -��e' redevelopment require closer public-private cooperation than first-t'vne, new development. It recommends that the City undertake a special district-level economic development plan for the neighbarhood commercial azeas. The Land Use element of the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan designates major intersections as a "Major Retail Clustez". It recommends the clustering of compatible miYed land uses in these azea, and calls for buffering between commercial and residential azeas. The Streets and Highways 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 azeas; (c) to develop and redevelop properiy 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 Secfion 469.002 Subd. 13 (3) and (6), and as a redevelopment or economic district under the Tas Increment Financing Act, Section 469.174 Subd. 10; (d) to assist in the undertaki�g of a Redevelopment Project as defined in Section 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 impa3r the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Saint Paul, and which also serve to inflict an economic blight upon existing private invesUnent 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 faulty arrangement in building design or improvement and deleterious land use.

To utilize public financiai resources in a manner that is in conformance with the Ciry's adopted Capitol Allocation Policies. IV. REDEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES Historically, the role of the public sector in arban 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 environxnental conditions which have worked to the detriment of the redevelopment of aging, built urban areas, this role has been changing to one of an active partner and participant in needed redevelopment. This plan envisions the permitted use of all techniques or powers currently authorized through applicable statutes. No provision of this plan is to be taken to limit the full exercise o£ these powers. This plan envisions the pernutted use of all techniques or powers authorized through Minnesota Statutes 469.001 through 469.043, 469.172 through 469.181 and Chapter 469.152 through 469.165 by the City and HRA, or other public agencies as appropriate and necessary to cany out the implementation of this Plan.

Findings for the Modification of the Project Area and the Creation of Phalen Village 35 Tax Increment Financing District and the Modification of the Redevelopment Pian and adopfion of the 36 TaY Increment Financing Plan. 37 2.01 The City Council hereby finds that the modification of the Project Area and the creation 38 of the Phalen Village T� Increment Financing District, the modification of the Redevelopment Plan 39 and adoption of the TaY Increment Plan, are intended and, in the judgment of the City Council, its 40 effect will be, to carry out the objectives of the Redevelopment Plan and to create an impetus for the 41 redevelopment of blighted rental housing facilities, and the construction of mixed income, owner- 42 occupied housing units, and will otherwise promote certain public purposes and accomplish certain 43 objectives as specified in the Redevelopment Plan and Tas Increment Financing Plan. 44 2.02 The City Council hereby finds, in connection with the modification of the 45 Redevelopment P1an that (a) the land to be added to the Project Area would not be made available for 4b redevelopment without the financial aid to be sought, (b) the Redevelopment Plan, as modified, affords 47 the maxunuxn opportunity, consistent with the needs of the City of Saint Paul as a whole, for the 48 redevelopment of the area by private enterprise, and (c) the Redevelopment Plan, as modified, 49 conforxns to the general plan far the development of the City as a whole. 50 2.03 The City Council hereby finds that the Phalen Village Taz� Increment Financing District 51 qualifies as a"redevelopment district" within the meaning of the Taac Increment Act for the following 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 reasons: The District is, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10(a)(1), a "redevelopment district" because it consists of a project or portions of a project or a portion of a project within which the following conditions, reasonably distributed throughout the District, exist: (1) parcels consisting of at least 70% of the area of the District area occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, or other improvements; and (2) more than 50% of the buildings aze "structurally substandard" (within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, subdivision 10(b)) to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance. The District consists of 53 parcels, and 86.8% of the area of the parcels aze occupied as set forth above. There are 66 buildings located in the Tax Increment Financing District and at least 40 of which (constituting 60.6%) aze structurally substandard to a degree requiring renovation or clearance. The buildings are structurally substandard because they contain defects in structural elements or a combinaYion of deficiencies in essential utilities and facilities, light and ventilation, fire protection including adequate egress, layout and condition of interior partitions, or similar factors, which defects or deficiencies are of sufficient total significance to justify substantial renovation or clearance, specifically defects in structural elements. More than 50% of the buildings within the District have been found to be structurally substandard and not in compliance with applicable building codes, and could not be brought into such compliance at a cost of less than 15% of the cost of constructing new stnxctures of the same size and type on the subject sites, respectively. The supporting facts for these determinations are on file with the staff of the Authority and 309297v1 2 74 include but are not limited to the Report on Struchxrally Substandazd Building dated July 3, 2001 75 prepazed by Elness Swenson Graham Architects. 76 2.04 The City Council hereby makes the foliowing findings: 77 78 79 80 . �; : ., 86 87 88 89 01 � �1� (a) The City Council fiirther finds that the proposed development, in the opinion of the City Council, would not occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and, therefore, the use oftaY increment financing is deemed necessary. The specific basis for such finding being: The properiy on which the rental housing development will occur would not be developed in the reasonably foreseeable future since it currently contains many substandard rental buildings under fragmented ownership. The Authority has received representa6ons from housing developers that thep could not proceed with the contemplated development without taY increment assistance. (b) The City Council further finds that the Tas Increment Financing Plan will afford maa�imuxn opportunity consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole for the development of the Tax Increment District by private enterprise. The specific basis for such finding being: 90 The proposed development to occur within the Tax Increment District is housing. 91 The development will increase the tasable mazket valuation of the City. The 92 available housing in the City will expand by more than 56 owner occupied units 93 with the completion of the development contemplated by the Tax Increment 94 Financing Plan. The condition of the existing rental housing units will be 95 substantially improved. 96 (c) For purposes of compliance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 3(2), 97 the City Council hereby finds that the increased muket value of the property to be developed 98 within the TaY Increment District that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of 99 tax increment financing is $0, which is less than the mazket value estimated to result from the 100 proposed development (i.e., $3,184,700) after subtracting the present value of the projected taac 101 increments far the maximuxn duration of the Tan Increment District (i.e., $1,832,467). In making 102 these findings, the City Council has noted that the property has been undeveloped or blighted far 103 many years and would likely remain so if tas increment financing is not available. Thus, the use 104 of tax increment financing wiil be a positive net gain to the City, the School District, and the 105 County, and the taY increment assistance does not exceed the benefit which will be derived 1Q6 therefrom. 107 2.05 The provisions of this Section 2 are hereby incorporated by reference into and made a 108 part of the Tax Increment Financing Plan. 109 Section 3. Modification of the Project Area and Creation of the Phalen Village Tax Increment 110 Financing District and the Modification of the Redevelopment Plan and approval of the Ta�c Increment 111 Financing Plan. 112 3 A 1 The modification of the Project Area and the creation of the Phalen Village Tax 113 Increment Financing District are hereby approved, and the Redevelopment Plan, as modified, and T� 7309297v1 f id Increment Financing Plan are hereby adopted, in the form on file with Execurive Director of the O , �.�e�4' 115 Authority. 116 3.02 The staff of the Authority and the Authority's advisors and legal counsel are authorized 117 and directed to proceed with the implementafion of the Taa� Increment District and for this purpose to 118 negotiate, draft, prepaze and present to the Board of Commissioners of the Authority for its 119 consideration a11 futther plans, resolutions, documents and contracts necessary for this purpose.

The early 1900's saw the development of small commercial areas along University Avenue to serve adjacent neighborhoods. With the growing popularity of the automobile, however, the Avenue became an automobile rather than neighborhood oriented commercial ship. The result has been commercial development that conflicts with adjacent neighborhoods, inadequate pazking, and structures that aze obsolete. Competition with suburban commercial centers begimiing 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 high traffice volume. It has remained an at-grade intersection because of the limitations imposed by existing development around it. The Snelling-University intersection is the the most heavily traveled at-grade intersection in the Twin Cities. Heavy vehiculaz traffice volume at Snelling-University, a commercial azea originally built azound 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 majar retail, office, industrial, and medical facilities. The area is second only to the downtown in its importance to the Saint Paui economy. The Twin Cities Metropolitan Development Framework 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 activity center. The Development Framework recommends selective redevelopment projects where market analysis indicates strong poten6al for community retail-service centers. Deteriorated and obsolete building at Snelling-University create an image of a declining commercial strip. Automobile-pedestrian conflicts and a lack of pazking keeps customer away. Customers and businesses a like go to more desirable commercial areas. The resuit is declining retail activity and tax base, declining employment opporiunities, and more deterioration. The deterioration and confluct with residentiai land use lowers the value of nearby residential areas as well. 13 p � _rL � (b) MetzBakeryArea The Metz Bakery Redevelopment site is located in tl�e north captiol neighborhood wluch is immediately north of the State Capitol. The north capitol neighborhood is one of Saint Paul's oldest neighborhoods. Initial seetlement ocurred in the 1870's spurred on by street caz lines on University Avenue and Rice Street. The single most important influence on the neighborhood was the relocation of the State Capitol at its present site in 1905. Currently the neighborhood is a mixture of residential, commercial, institutional, and government uses. Bethesda Lutheran Medical Center, a large and growing complex, 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 aze quite depressed. The redevelopment site is a mixture of commerciai, residential, and vacant structures. The most prominent structure as the old vacant Metz Bakery Building which is structurally unrehababie. 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 Hammond 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 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. A Tax Increment Financing District was created pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Sections 273.71 through 273.78 (Tax Increment Financing Act) by City Council Resolution No. 279109 adopted August 28, 1982, which District was identified as the T� 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. 14 o►-��' 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 haphazazd manner, preventing new development by causing high development costs, inciuding site assembiy and site preparation, and renovation or demolition. For these reasons, the private market has been unable to utilize this prnne location to its fixll 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 tq is to eliminate and/or improve those existing condtions which serve to impair the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Saint Paul, and which also serve to inflict an economic blight upon e�sting private investment in the azea, threaten source of public revenue, and induce members of the surrounding neighborhood to no longer consider the azea an attractive piace in which to reside or do business. (e) Rice Street The Rice Street azea is located within the perimeters of Hatch Street, Albemarle Street, Sycamore Street, Park Street, Jackson Street and Empire Pazk. 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 requiring substantial work. Commercial conditions consist of major deterioration, unoccupied buildings require minor maintenance. The basis for including Rice Street is funcfionally 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 Aivision Block 1, Lots 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 substandazd Prom Building which was demolished to clear the site for potential development. The Prom Building was substandard in structure and the office building would require minor renovation. The site had zero percent of the properiy vacant until the recent demolition of the Prom Building. Currently the site has one parcel containing a building and the other two 15 b t-�q� vacant. The basis for including the Prom Center site in the Redevelopment Plan are to remove conditions of blight and deterioration (the old Prom Building), to redevelop acquired land in accordance with the redevelopment plan, to increase employment in the municipality, 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. (g) Concord/Robert The Concord/Robert site is located on Saint Paul's West Side and includes those pazcels within one-half block of Concord Street between Congress and Ada Streets. Concord Street is an aging commercial strip with numerous vacant and dilapidated structures. Many of the commercial building are obsolete and are a blighting influence on the area. In some case, rehabilitation is infeasibie and redevelopment could not be expected to occur depending solely on private resources. (h) Arcade/Payne/East Seventh Street The Payne/Arcade/East Seventh Street site consists of approximately 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 Railroad Tracks and East to Forest)_ The site is a mixture of B2 and B3 zoning, along with a large planned development zoning (Seeger Square). It contains 158 improved properties. The site is 9Q°/u utilized by buildings, pazking and roads. The basis for including the PaynelArcade/East Seventh Street site into the Redevelopment District is to remove blight and deterioration, and to redevelop acquired land in accardance 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. 16 o � -��r The site is coxnmercial 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 substanrial renovation. Another building is an economic, obsolescent one million square foot warehouse. The rest of the site is made up of 12 structures, most of which require substantial renovation to bring them up to standard. The site is 100% utilized by buildings, pazking and roads. There are no vacant sites within this district. The basis for including 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 section 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. Sherburne and University Avenues on the north, and Hamline on the east. The site contains thiriy-five structures, four of which are located on the Midway Shopping Center pazcel 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 District; B-3, General Business District; I-1, Industrial District; and a PD, Planned Development (Spruce Tree Centre). One residential structure, containing 16 dwelling units, is located in the area. The remainder of the shuctures aze in non- residentiai 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 square 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 wazehouse, garage 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/[Jniversity site in the Neighborhood Redevelopment Project Area is to remove blight and deterioration, to redevelop acquired land in accordance with the redevelopment plan, to aiter the land use pattern of underutilized structures, to increase employxnent in the municipality, to preserve and enhance a tas base of the municipality, and to satisfy the 17 o � -'1gE' redevelopment strategies of the redevelopment section of the City Wide Plan. (j) Unisys Praperty The Unisys site consists of the west end of a block bounded by West Seventh Street, Maynard Drive, Stewart and Davern. Within that block the east boundary is a property line n,nning southeast and east of Davern on West Seventh. A second portion of the site is a S.11 vacant pazcel in the middle of the block bounded by Stewart, Alton, Shepazd Road and Davern. The 18.6 acre site is a mixture of commercial and light industrial uses. An Amoco Service Station and a bar/restaurant occupy approximately 43,000 squaze 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 pazk and ride firm. The site south of Steward is a 5.11 acre undeveloped parcel immediately east of the UNISYS pazking 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 L7NISYS/MPR site is the underutilized nature of the site. Part of this is directly attributable to the soil condifions-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 Place on the east. Twenty percent of the site is vacant and $0% is occupied by buildings which comprise a commercial strip center. Hillcrest Center's first stares date from the late 1940's, with most of the other buildings completed around 1961. Hillcrest's aging structures are in need of renovation and rehabilitation. In addition, the district plan calls for a xedesign of ingress and egress &om the pazking lots in order to alleviate traffic problems on White Bear Avenue. The plan also identifies a need to redesign the commercial signage to eliminate visual 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. Site assembly and/or prepazation of the vacant parceis for development may be necessary. m o�-'�' (1) Texaco Site The Texaco site is in the southem 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 currently the location of a Texaco Oil Tank field. Reuse of the oil tanks themselves is unlikely. Sixty-seven (67) percent of the tas parcels aze occupied. Soil conditions aze extremely problematical for this site. Environmental contamination has occurred and must be corrected prior to any redevelopment activities. The oil tanks are obsolete and constitute an underutilization of this properry. Private investment alone cannot be expected to cover all costs of redevelopment. Redevelopment assistance is needed through possible site assembly and/or prepazation of site including soil correction; and could also include public improvements (streets, utiliries, streetscape and landscaping). (m) West Seventh StreedGrand The West 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 chazacterized by fragmented ownership, as weil as varying and incompatible land uses, which include o�ce, residential, retail commercial and automobile services. Eighty percent of the site is occupied by shuctures and twenty percent is vacant. Although the area is bounded by three mayor tra�c 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/Donaldson Site This site is 5.5 acre parcel located on the southwest corner of Fard Parkway and Cleveland Avenue. This °L" shaped pazcel is bounded by Ford Parkway on the north, Cleveland Avenue on the east, Highland Manor Apamnents on the south and Highiand Village Center on the west. The property is currently zoned B-3 and is occupied by a three-story department store buiiding of approximately 90,000 squaze feet. The remainder of the site is underufilized surface parking. The basis 19 o�-��r for including the site is the underutilized natute of the pazcel.

These neighborhood redevelopment project azeas are to be undertaken in neighborhood commercial areas contemplated by the City-wide Redevelopment Plan and Saint Paul Neighborhood Business Development Program. PLANNING FRANLEWORK Regional, City and area plans that address the future of these project azeas from the Twin Cities Metropolitan Development Framewark, 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 comparison 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 20 o� -��e' redevelopment require closer public-private cooperation than first-t'vne, new development. It recommends that the City undertake a special district-level economic development plan for the neighbarhood commercial azeas. The Land Use element of the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan designates major intersections as a "Major Retail Clustez". It recommends the clustering of compatible miYed land uses in these azea, and calls for buffering between commercial and residential azeas. The Streets and Highways 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 azeas; (c) to develop and redevelop properiy 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 Secfion 469.002 Subd. 13 (3) and (6), and as a redevelopment or economic district under the Tas Increment Financing Act, Section 469.174 Subd. 10; (d) to assist in the undertaki�g of a Redevelopment Project as defined in Section 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 impa3r the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Saint Paul, and which also serve to inflict an economic blight upon existing private invesUnent 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 faulty arrangement in building design or improvement and deleterious land use.

To utilize public financiai resources in a manner that is in conformance with the Ciry's adopted Capitol Allocation Policies. IV. REDEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES Historically, the role of the public sector in arban 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 environxnental conditions which have worked to the detriment of the redevelopment of aging, built urban areas, this role has been changing to one of an active partner and participant in needed redevelopment. This plan envisions the permitted use of all techniques or powers currently authorized through applicable statutes. No provision of this plan is to be taken to limit the full exercise o£ these powers. This plan envisions the pernutted use of all techniques or powers authorized through Minnesota Statutes 469.001 through 469.043, 469.172 through 469.181 and Chapter 469.152 through 469.165 by the City and HRA, or other public agencies as appropriate and necessary to cany out the implementation of this Plan.
