Title

Creating Tax Incremental Finance (TIF) District #34  (Covance) City of Madison and approving a Project Plan and Boundary for said TIF District.

 

Body

WHEREAS Chapter 105 of the Laws of 1975 of the State of Wisconsin created the Tax Increment Law, Section 66.1105, Wisconsin Statutes; and

 

WHEREAS said Law sets forth certain steps which must be followed to create a Tax Incremental Finance District and approve a Project Plan; and

 

WHEREAS Tax Incremental Finance District #34 is described below; and

 

WHEREAS a Notice of Public Hearing by the Plan Commission to afford interested parties an opportunity to express their views on the creation of the District and the Project Plan for Tax Incremental Finance District #34 was published in the Capital Times on March 18, 2005 and March 25, 2005 as required by said Law; and

 

WHEREAS prior to publication of the Notice of Public Hearing a copy of the Notice was sent by first-class mail to each of the chief executive officers or administrators of all local governmental entities having the power to levy taxes on property within the proposed Tax Incremental Finance District #34; and

 

WHEREAS the Plan Commission of the City of Madison held a public hearing on April 4, 2005, at which interested parties were afforded an opportunity to express their views on the proposed Project Plan for Tax Incremental Finance District #34; and

 

WHEREAS the Plan Commission has made the following findings as indicated in the attached report:

 

No less than 50%, by area, of the real property within such Tax Incremental District is suitable for industrial development within the meaning of 66.1101(1), Wisconsin Statutes.

The improvement of such area is likely to significantly enhance the value of a substantial portion of the other real property in such District.

The project costs as described in the Project Plan relate directly to promoting industrial development in the area consistent with the purpose for which the Tax Incremental District is created.

The aggregate value of equalized taxable property of the District, plus all existing districts, does not exceed 12% of the total value of equalized taxable property within the City.

Any real property within the District which is suitable for industrial sites and is zoned fro industrial use shall remain zoned for industrial use for the life of the District.

Tax Incremental Finance District #34 (Covance) is hereby declared an industrial district.

 

WHEREAS the Plan Commission has determined that this District meets the basic requirements of City TIF Policy for tax incremental district proposals adopted by the Common Council on April 17, 2001 (insofar as they are applicable to the creation of a district and a project plan), conforms to the Master Plan and the Economic Development Plan for the City of Madison and is consistent with the review criteria adopted at the same time, specifically, that the District supports economic development activities intended to stabilize and diversify the City's economic base. 

 

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Common Council of the City of Madison finds that:

 

No less than 50%, by area, of the real property within such Tax Incremental District is suitable for industrial development within the meaning of Section 66.1101(1), Wisconsin Statutes.

 

The improvement of such area is likely to significantly enhance the value of a substantial portion of the other real property in such District.

 

The project costs as described in the Project Plan relate directly to promoting industrial development in the area consistent with the purpose for which the Tax Incremental District is created.

 

The aggregate value of equalized taxable property of the District, plus all existing districts, does not exceed 12% of the total value of equalized taxable property within the City.

 

Any real property within the District which is suitable for industrial sites and is zoned fro industrial use shall remain zoned for industrial use for the life of the District.

 

Tax Incremental Finance District #34 (Covance) is hereby declared an industrial district.

Comments

 

A total of $6,741,000 of project costs is estimated for the district, including $1,629,850 of anticipated, near-term public improvements and $3,278,150 of discretionary public improvements that enhance the quality of life in the neighborhood and encourage further enhancement of property in the district.  There is also $588,900 in assessable costs.  See pages 1-4 of the project plan.

 

The proposed TID must not exceed the following value limit: The equalized value of the district plus all existing districts shall not exceed 12% of the total equalized value of the City. Based upon the most current 2004 equalized value data, these respective values are $512,218,850, comprising 6.40% against the 12% limit.

 

 

 

 

Comments

 

The creation resolution is in conformance with this paragraph of the TIF Law, as demonstrated above.

 

Staff estimates that the initial generator(s), would have an incremental value of $25,000,000.

 

The City, at its discretion, may expend TIF funds for the sole purpose of funding only the estimated $1,629,850 of anticipated public improvements.
