2. The City finds and determines that the project activities set forth in the Plan will establish, within the City, the opportunity to promote economic development of vacant, unused and underused land and that this development will create jobs and' enhance the local tax base. 3. The City finds and determines that job creation and tax base enhancement are in the public interest of the City and the expenditures of the TIF District are a public purpose. 4. The City finds and determines that the tax increment financing plan as set forth in the Plan having been duly reviewed and considered is hereby approved and adopted, and the area described in Exhibit A attached hereto is an Economic Development District pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 469.174, subdivision 12. 5. The City finds and determines that the proposed development, in the opinion of the City, would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and that the increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of the district permitted by the Plan. 6. The City finds and determines that the tax increment financing plan set forth in the Plan conforms to the general plan for the development of the City as a whole. 7. The City finds and determines that the tax increment financing plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development of the TIF District by private enterprise. 8. The reasons and supporting facts for findings 4, 5, 6 and 7 as set forth on pages 3, 4 and 5 of the Plan are by this reference confirmed, approved and adopted. 9. The City hereby states its intention to use all of the captured tax capacity for purposes of tax increment financing as per the conditions set forth in the Plan. 11.
