Extraordinary redevelopment opportunities with <br /> commensurately high redevelopment costs for site preparation and <br /> infrastructure needs result directly from current public policy and community <br /> expectations for the area. In this context,properties within the planning area <br /> are not consistent with current land use and aesthetic standards for the <br /> redevelopment of the area. <br /> Several of the criteria identified in the statutory definition for"blighted area" <br /> are evident in these properties. These include dilapidation, obsolescence, <br /> faulty arrangement and design, excessive land coverage and obsolete layout. <br /> Presence of these various blight criteria in addition to structurally substandard <br /> conditions on many of the buildings in the area provide a strong basis for the <br /> finding that the area should be eligible for Tax Increment Financing District <br /> funding. <br /> The most obvious criteria resulting in conditions of blight related to these <br /> properties relates to faulty arrangement and design. Commercial and <br /> industrial buildings are interspersed with single-family housing,multi-family <br /> housing and the adjacent Anywhere Avenue retail area without appropriate <br /> buffering between uses (Figure 4). <br /> • <br /> Page 9 <br />
