SUBJECT: Resolution No. 501— Resolution of Intent and Call for
Public Hearing — To Create the Old School Station
Technology Tax Increment District
MEETING DATE: Monday, October 17, 2005 Regular Meeting
BACKGROUND: Council annexed the old School Station property into the City
effective August , 2005. The owner and developer advised the City that this
property is intended to be developed as an industrial and technological park. The
City has passed a resolution of intent and will accept public comment on November
7, for the establishment of a special improvement district for this property to pair for
the public infrastructure required for development. An amendment to the Growth
Policy will also be considered for this area. on November 7, as well as consideration
of the appropriate o .ing and subdivision requirements.
Council is further invited to consider creating an industrial Tax Increment
District, as well as a Technology Tax Increment District, as an overlay of the SID.
'these would create a potential lace tive to business to locate within the District
(and therefore the City) as those -increment taxes paid by the businesses mav be
utilized for SID assessments.
The benefits realized by the City would be to increase its appeal to new
businesses to locate within the City. Along with an increased tax base, these
businesses are employers that will potentially bring some more stability to the
supply of jobs and income opportunities to the residents of the City. The
competition between communities for these businesses is fierce and the creation of
tax increment ent districts gives the City a tool to compete more effectively.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council consider and pass Resolution No. 5071 and
thereby state are intent to create the Technology Tax Increment District and call for
a public hearing.
