Community Development Director Gladhill presented the staff report stating the City received a <br />request from Life Fitness to create Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District No. 15 to facilitate the <br />redevelopment of the former HealthQuest site located at 14100 Sunfish Lake Boulevard NW. As <br />part of the creation of the district, the TIF Plan must be found to be in compliance with the City's <br />land use plans. The District will be created to capture new increment created by future <br />development within the District. Staff requested the Commission review the plan to determine if <br />it was in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan. <br />Commission Business <br />Commissioner Bauer was pleased that this corner would be improved as it was highly visible and <br />the building was currently in poor condition. <br />Motion by Commissioner Bauer, seconded by Commissioner Maul, to recommend that City <br />Council adopt Resolution #15-09-224 finding that the creation of Tax Increment District No. 15 <br />and its associated TIF Plan conform to the general plans for the development and redevelopment <br />of the City. <br />Further discussion <br />Commissioner Brauer stated he typically did not support the use of TIF, however, in this <br />instance, he deemed it appropriate. <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Levine, Commissioners Bauer, Maul, Andrusko, <br />Brauer, and VanScoy. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner Nosan. <br />5.03: Consider Recommending Approval of The COR Development Plan Comparison <br />Document <br />Presentation <br />Community Development Director Gladhill presented the staff report stating the purpose of this <br />item was to review a comparison document between the original Ramsey Town Center Master <br />Plan and the current COR Development Plan as requested by the City Council and Planning <br />Commission on May 26, 2015.
