The City's Tax Increment Financing Policy also requires <br /> that the Tax Increment Financing Application Review Worksheet be completed to evaluate the project and ensure it <br /> meets the criteria of the City's policy. <br /> The application for Tax Increment Financing proposes the development of a senior living townhome community. The <br /> Developer is proposing to construct an 84-unit townhome development, containing 49 one-bedroom units, 35 two- <br /> bedroom units, and a clubhouse activity center. Additionally, each unit will include an attached garage. The <br /> development is proposed for persons of low and moderate income;which will result in income limitations for potential <br /> residents and reduced rental rates. The Developer will be undertaking both the construction and operation of the <br /> proposed development. <br /> Attached to this memo are the results of Springsted's review based on information provided by the Developer and the <br /> City's existing Tax Increment Financing Policy and Application. It should be noted the Application Review Worksheet <br /> includes questions focuses more on commercial/industrial development with job creation goals than affordable <br /> housing. However one of the objectives of the City's Tax Increment Financing Policy as listed on page 3 of the <br /> application is to create opportunities for affordable housing. Our initial review of the project and completion of the <br /> worksheet would rank this project as moderate based on a high, moderate, low and not eligible scale. <br /> Public Sector Advisors <br />
