RESOLUTION FINDING A PARCEL TO BE
OCCUPIED BY A STRUCTURALLY SUBSTANDARD BUILDING
BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council (the “Council”) of the City of
Rochester, Minnesota (the “City”), as follows:
1. Recitals.
a. It has been proposed that the City create a tax increment
financing district in an area within the City’s area of operation to
be designated a redevelopment district as defined in Minnesota
Statutes, Section 469.174, Subd. 10.
b. In order to create this type of tax increment financing district, the
City must make a determination that before the demolition or
removal of substandard buildings, certain conditions existed.
c. The conditions found by the City to exist throughout the proposed
tax increment financing district (legally described as Lots 7-12,
Block 37, Original Plat of the City of Rochester, Olmsted County,
Minnesota (the “Property”)) are that parcels consisting of 70
percent of the area of the district are occupied by buildings,
streets, utilities, or other improvements and more than 50 percent
of the buildings, not including outbuildings, are structurally
substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or
clearance.
d. In order to deem a parcel as being occupied by a structurally
substandard building, the City must first pass a resolution before
the demolition or removal that the parcel was occupied by one or
more structurally substandard buildings and that after demolition
and clearance, the City intended to include the parcel within the
proposed tax increment financing district.
e. There exists in the City’s area of operation on each parcel or
parcels in the Property one or more structurally substandard
buildings to be demolished or removed (the “Substandard
Building Condition”).
f. A parcel is deemed to be occupied by a structurally substandard
building if the Substandard Building Condition is met within three
years of the filing of the request for certification of the parcel as
part of the tax increment financing district with the county auditor;
and if certain other conditions are met.
