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 hereto 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 buildings, identified in a building
inspection report prepared by Collaborative Design Group and
dated December 19, 2016 include the following addresses: 405
th
South Broadway, 413 South Broadway and 8 4 Street SW on
Parcel Number 64.02.11.054926.
3. Demolition Agreement. A Demolition Agreement between the
City and Rosie Belle Performing Arts Theatre, a Minnesota
nonprofit corporation, 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.
