I. POLICY PURPOSE <br />For the purposes of this document, the term `Wily"shall include the Elk Ktver City Counczl, Economic <br />Development Authority, and Housing and AedevelopmentAuthority. <br />The purpose of this policy is to establish the City of Elk River's position relating to the <br />use of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) fox private development above and beyond the <br />xequuements and limitations set forth by State Law. This policy shall be used as a guide <br />in the processing and review of applications requesting tax increment assistance. The <br />fundamental purpose of tax increment fmancing in Elk River is to encourage desirable <br />development or redevelopment that would not otherwise occur but for the assistance <br />provided through TIF. <br />The City of Elk River is granted the power to utilize TIF by the Minnesota Tax <br />Increment Financing Act, as amended. It is the intent of the City to provide the <br />minimum amount of TIF, as well as other incentives, at the shortest term required fox <br />the project to proceed. The City reserves the right to approve or reject projects on a <br />case by case basis, taking into consideration established policies, project criteria, and <br />demand on city services in relation to the potential benefits from the project. Meeting <br />policy criteria does not guarantee the award of TIF to the project. Approval ox denial of <br />one project is not intended to set precedent fax approval ox denial of another project. <br />II. OBJECTIVES OF TAX INCREMENT FINANCING <br />As a matter of adopted policy, the City will consider using TIF to assist private <br />development projects to achieve one ox more of the following objectives: <br />• To retain local jobs and/or increase the number and diversity of jobs that offer <br />stable employment and/ox attractive wages and benefits as defined in the City's <br />Business Subsidy Policy. <br />• To encourage additional unsubsidized private development in the area, either <br />directly ox indirectly through "spin ofP' development. <br />• To facilitate the development process and to achieve development on sites <br />which would not be developed without TIF assistance. <br />• To remove blight and/ox encourage redevelopment of commercial and <br />industrial areas in the city that result in high quality redevelopment and private <br />reinvestment. <br />• To offset increased costs of redevelopment (i.e. contaminated site clean up) <br />over and above the costs normally incurred in development. <br />• To create opportunities for affordable housing. <br />• To contribute to the implementation of other public policies, as adopted by the <br />city from time to time, such as the promotion of quality urban ox architectural <br />design, energy conservation, and decreasing capital and/ox operating costs of <br />local government. <br />Ciry of Elk River <br />Tax Increment Policy & Application <br />1" Draft Modified Apri12006 <br />Page3of14 <br />
