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 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 described in Exhibit
A attached here to (collectively, the “Parcels”) 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.
2. Findings. The City hereby finds that over 70% of the area of the Parcel identified on Exhibit
A attached here contains improvements and is occupied by one or more structurally
substandard buildings and that after demolition and clearance the City intends to include
this Parcel within the proposed tax increment-financing district. The substandard building,
identified in a building inspection report prepared by CCA Architect and dated February 17,
st
2020 includes the following address: 18 1Avenue SE on Parcel Number 74.35.44.075694.
3. Demolition Agreement. A Demolition Agreement between the City and PB Rochester
Investments, LLC., pursuant to which the corporation will demolish the substandard
buildings, at its sole expense, has been prepared and is on file with the City Clerk. The
Demolition Agreement is hereby approved in substantially the form on file, and the Mayor
and Clerk are authorized to sign the Agreement on behalf of the City.
