Motion passed unanimously.
4. COMMISSION CONSIDERATION ITEMS
4a. RESOLUTION NO. 2019-12 APPROVING A PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND
CONVEYANCE OF CERTAIN PROPERTY TO CENTRA HOMES LLC
Community Development Director Meg Beekman reviewed a proposed purchase agreement with
Centra Homes LLC for development of a 7.5-acre property owned by the Economic
Development Authority (EDA). She added the property was acquired using TIF #3 pooled funds
with the intent of redeveloping the land into single-family homes.
Ms. Beekman stated Centra Homes was selected to develop a site plan for 30-35 move-up single
family homes with an average home price of $332,000. She added the purchase agreement
$115,000 stipulates that Centra Homes would pay an earnest amount and conduct due diligence
06/24/19 -2- DRAFT
and obtain financing, closing on the property on or before September 30 for a purchase price of
$115,000.
Commissioner Lawrence-Anderson stated residents of that neighborhood have asked about
damage to the streets for which they were recently assessed. Ms. Beeman stated a pre-inspection
would be conducted, which would document the condition of the streets before work
commences.
Commissioner Graves requested clarification regarding why the City does not have residential
design standards, and whether that is typical for cities.
Ms. Beekman stated the City of Brooklyn Center had been fully developed for many years, and
landscape and design standards are generally required for new residential developments. She
added the City Council could review this issue and consider the addition of residential design
and landscaping standards. She noted this type of standard is especially helpful in a city like
Brooklyn Center, where there are many mature trees, and tree removal guidelines might be
required for redevelopment projects.
Commissioner Graves stated she would support consideration of residential design standards as a
future work session agenda item.
Mr. Boganey stated that it is a topic that could be addressed by the Zoning Task Force. Ms.
Beeman agreed.
Commissioner Ryan moved, and Commissioner Lawrence-Anderson seconded to open the
public hearing at 9:10 p.m.
Motion passed unanimously.
There were no comments
Commissioner Graves moved, and Commissioner Ryan seconded to close the public hearing at
9:11 p.m.
Motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Ryan stated he appreciates that residents are concerned about disruption to their
neighborhood. He added the contractor and the City would do everything possible to minimize
inconvenience. He noted this is a great opportunity for the City to provide move-up homes and
bring the undeveloped residential property into more productive use.
Commissioner Ryan moved, and Commissioner Lawrence-Anderson seconded to adopt
RESOLUTION NO. 2019-12 Approving a Purchase Agreement and Conveyance of Certain
Property to Centra Homes LLC.
President Elliott abstained. Motion passed.
06/24/19 -3- DRAFT
4b. CONSIDERATION OF A TERM SHEET BETWEEN REAL ESTATE EQUITIES
AND THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF BROOKLYN
CENTER REGARDING TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
Ms. Beekman reviewed a concept plan proposed by Real Estate Equities for EDA-owned
property at 5801 Xerxes Avenue N. A Planned Unit Development (PDA) Agreement was
approved by the City Council on June 10, 2019, for a residential community comprised of two
buildings with senior living and workforce housing. The project qualifies for a 26-year TIF
housing district, as requested by the applicant. The estimated market value of the property after
construction would be $33.3 million and would generate $360,000 annually in property taxes.
Ms. Beekman stated City Staff recommends the creation of a 26-year TIF district of $1.6 million
pay as you go, likely to be paid off in 16 years. The EDA would retain 10% of the increment
over the life of the note repayment that could be utilized to cover the City’s costs and other
housing projects. The City can choose to keep the District open for the full 26 years.
Ms. Beekman stated TIF District income limits would apply, which would be 40% of units at
60% AMI. She added this is a statutory requirement for TIF districts.
Commissioner Ryan requested confirmation that the TIF note is the obligation of the developer
and not the City. Ms. Beekman confirmed this.
Commissioner Ryan asked whether the length of the TIF District is a legal requirement. Ms.
Beekman confirmed this, adding there is a maximum length specified in State statute.
Commissioner Ryan asked whether the TIF district could be applied to other projects. Ms.
Beekman stated City Staff is proposing that this TIF district will be applied to this property only,
but it can be spent outside the district for eligible development opportunities if the additional
increment is produced.
Commissioner Lawrence-Anderson asked when the developer will pay their full property tax
revenue to the City. Ms. Beekman stated additional taxes besides the base tax that are generated
off the development after the project is constructed are paid by the developer. She added they
would receive a refund of 90% to pay off the TIF note up to the amount of the note or after 16
years.
Commissioner Graves asked what the TIF district this will be, and whether there are a few
districts close to ending. Ms. Beekman stated this would be TIF District #8. She added Districts
1 and two are no longer active and were decertified. She noted TIF #3 decertifies in 2021. She
noted she could provide additional detail on each of the TIF Districts for the City Council’s
review.
Commissioner Ryan stated the development is dependent upon this modest subsidy. He added
these sets aside City revenue over 16 years to provide an asset to the community for seniors and
working families.
06/24/19 -4- DRAFT
Commissioner Ryan moved, and Commissioner Lawrence-Anderson seconded to direct City
Staff to prepare an agreement consistent with the term sheet.
Motion passed unanimously.
5. ADJOURNMENT
Commissioner Ryan moved, and Commissioner Graves seconded adjournment of the Economic
Development Authority meeting at 9:30 p.m.
Motion passed unanimously.

District No. 3 and Establis hing Tax Inc rement F inanc ing District No. 8 and Approving a Tax
Inc rement F inanc ing P lan
Background:
As part of the es tablis hment o f a tax inc rement financing d is tric t, the C ity C o unc il mus t hold a p ublic hearing
and both the C ity C ounc il and EDA mus t approve the T I F plan and the establis hment of the dis tric t.
O n F ebruary 22, 2019, the C ity received an ap p licatio n for p ublic financial assistanc e from R eal Estate
Equities (the “Develo p er”). T he Developer req ues ted tax increment financing (T I F ) to p ro vide the nec es s ary
as s is tance fo r cons truction o f 270-units of affordable rental hous ing within the C ity; 127-units o f non-age
res tric ted hous ing and 143-units of s enior hous ing, all of whic h would be affordable to p ers o ns o r hous eholds
at o r below 60% of the area median income (AMI) and wo uld be b o th rent and inc o me restricted as noted
below:
T he C ity will be c reating a ho using T I F district with a 26-year term. It is antic ipated that the firs t tax increment
will be rec eived in 2021 s o the Dis tric t wo uld terminate o n Dec emb er 31, 2046. It s hould b e noted that the
EDA o nly anticipates p ro viding 16 years o f as s is tance for the p ro ject(s ) s o in year 17, the C ity C o uncil at that
time c an c hose to either d ecertify the Dis trict early, or keep the District o p en and collec t the remaining ten (10)
years o f T I F fo r use o n future affo rd ab le hous ing projec ts (it s hould b e no ted that any future C o uncil in year
17 through 26 could c hoose to decertify the District early).
W hen both projec ts are c o mp leted, the District will generate ap p ro ximately $486,000/year in T I F. T he C ity
anticipates p ro viding two (2) P ay-As -You-G o (PAYG O ) T I F Notes whic h will be p aid from 90% o f the
annual T I F generated from the District. T he EDA will retain 10% of the annual T I F (approximately
$48,600/year) fo r ad ministrative costs o f the Dis tric t o r fo r use on other affordable ho using (rental or owner-
occ upied) hous ing projec ts.
After redevelo p ment the taxab le market value is es timated to be approximately $48.6 million ($22.86 million for
the wo rkforc e apartments and $25.74 million for the s enior ap artments). O nc e the PAYG O notes are p aid , the
projects will generate approximately $232,000 in annual revenue for the C ity.
Interfund L oan
T he C ity’s Economic Development Authority (EDA) is overseeing the adminis tration and development within
the above referenced T I F Dis trict. As part o f this ad ministration, the EDA may need to loan funds from
various EDA funds to this Dis tric t to temporarily finance ad ministrative c o s ts not covered by R eal Estate
Equities esc row.
S tate S tatute req uires that the EDA approve a res o lutio n authorizing an internal (interfund ) loan to the
res pective T I F Dis tric t and set the terms fo r reimburs ement o f the c o s ts to be repaid with tax inc rements from
the respec tive T I F Dis tric t. T he language autho rizing an interfund lo an for up to $50,000 fro m the EDA to the
T I F District is inc luded in the res olution es tab lis hing the T I F District. T he interfund lo an would be p aid with
future T I F fro m the Dis tric t (the EDA’s 10% admin portio n). As funds are advanc ed they will bear an interes t
rate of 5%, whic h is the current, maximum interest rate that c an be charged. It s hould be noted that $50,000 is
a maximum amount and that it may never need to be drawn up o n if there are no additio nal adminis trative c os ts
charged to the District that are not the res ponsibility of the Developer.
C ompleting this ac tion provid es the EDA with the mo s t flexibility to reimburs e its elf in the future if and when
EDA funds are advanced and T I F funds are available from the newly c reated T I F District.
R emoval of P arcel from T I F D istrict 3
T he C ity and EDA es tablished T I F dis tric t No. 3 (Earle Brown F arm P roject) in 1994 which encompassed a
large area of the C ity. T his dis tric t inc luded the former Jerry’s F ood site loc ated at 5801 Xerxes Avenue,
identified as parcel number 03-118-21-14-0024.
T he C ity and EDA are c reating T I F District No. 8: R eal Estate Equities , on this parc el for the development of
270 affordable rental hous ing units . S ince the parc el is already contained within T I F District No. 3, the C ity is
required to remove it prior to the es tablishment of the new hous ing T I F dis tric t.
T he parc el was oc cupied by a building when T I F District No. 3 was c reated and s inc e then the building has
been demolis hed. Due to this , the C ity is required to hold a public hearing on its removal since the tax capac ity
of the parcel is lower today then when it was when T I F district No. 3 was establis hed.
It should be noted that removal of this parcel from T I F Dis tric t No. 3 will actually have a positive impact on
the District (albeit quite s mall) since the parc el has been generating negative inc rement for the District due to the
current tax capac ity being les s than the bas e tax capac ity.
Budget Issues:
T he proposed action would have no impact on the budget. All c os ts as s ociated with the creation and
administration of the T I F dis tric t will be paid by the Developer and/or future generated inc rement.

moved its adoption:
EDA RESOLUTION NO .____
APPROVING THE REMOVAL OF A PARCEL FROM
REDEVELOPMENT TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT
NO. 3 WITHIN HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AND
REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT NO. 1.
WHEREAS, the Economic Development Authority of the City of Brooklyn Center,
Minnesota (the “EDA”) and the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota (the “City”) have heretofore
created Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District No. 3 (the “TIF District”) within
Housing Development and Redevelopment Project No. 1 (the “Project Area”) and approved a tax
increment financing plan (the “TIF Plan”) for the TIF District, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes,
Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, as amended (the “TIF Act”) and other applicable laws, including
Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.001 to 469.047 and Sections 469.090 to 469.1081, all
inclusive, as amended, (collectively, and together with the TIF Act, the “Act”); and
WHEREAS, the following parcel (the “Property”) was included in the TIF District:
Parcel Identification No.
03 -118 -21 -14 -0024
WHEREAS, the EDA desires by this resolution to amend the TIF Plan to remove the
Property from the TIF District, thereby reducing the size thereof (the “TIF Plan Modification”);
and
WHEREAS, the EDA and City have investigated the facts relating to the TIF Plan
Modification and have performed all actions required by law to be performed prior to the
adoption and approval of the proposed TIF Plan Modification, including, but not limited to,
notification of Hennepin County and Independent School District No. 281 (Robbinsdale), having
taxing jurisdiction over the property in the TIF District, and the holding by the City of a public
hearing on the date hereof upon published notice as required by law; and
WHEREAS, the Property being removed from the TIF District has a current market
values below the frozen value thereof and, therefore, the EDA and City may make the TIF Plan
Modification to remove the Property from the TIF District only upon the notice and after the
discussion, public hearing, and findings required for approval of the original TIF Plan pursuant
to Section 469.175, Subdivision 4 of the TIF Act.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of the EDA
(the “Board”) as follows:
Section 1. Findings for the TIF Plan Modification. The Board hereby reaffirms the
original findings for the TIF District and the findings made in connection with all subsequent
586972v2BR291-400
modifications, including that when the TIF District was established, the TIF District was, and
currently is, a redevelopment district and that, in the opinion of the EDA, (i) the proposed
development of the Property would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private
investment within the reasonably foreseeable future; (ii) the increased market value of the
Property 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 TIF Plan; (iii) that the TIF Plan Modification conforms
to the general plan for the development or redevelopment of the City as a whole; (iv) that the TIF
Plan Modification will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City
as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of the project by private enterprise, which
findings are further supported by the resolutions of the City and the EDA, adopted on the date
hereof, establishing Tax Increment Financing District No. 8: Real Estate Equities (a housing
district) in connection with the proposed development of the Property.
Section 2. Public Purpose. The adoption of the TIF Plan Modification conforms in
all respects to the requirements of the Act and will help provide opportunities for additional
redevelopment and will improve the tax base. These public purposes and benefits exceed any
benefits expected to be received by private developers, who will receive assistance only in the
amount needed to make the proposed development on the Property financially feasible.
Section. 3 Approval and Adoption of the TIF Plan Modification.
3.01. The TIF District and the TIF Plan are hereby amended to remove the Property and
the TIF Plan Modification is hereby approved. Approval of the TIF Plan Modification does not
constitute approval of any project or a development agreement with any developer.
3.02. City staff is authorized to file this resolution as evidence of the TIF Plan
Modification with the Commissioner of Revenue, the Office of the State Auditor and the
Hennepin County Auditor.
3.03. City staff, the City’s advisors and legal counsel are authorized and directed to
proceed with the implementation of the TIF Plan Modification.

RESOLUTION NO. ______
RESOLUTION APPROVING A MODIFICATION TO THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR
HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT NO. 1, ESTABLISHING
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 8 THEREIN AND APPROVING A TAX
INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN THEREFOR
WHEREAS, it has been proposed that the Economic Development Authority of the City
of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota (the “EDA”) modify the Redevelopment Plan for its Housing and
Redevelopment Project No. 1 (the “Redevelopment Project”); establish Tax Increment Financing
District No. 8: Real Estate Equities (a housing district) (“TIF District No. 8”) within the
Redevelopment Project; and adopt the Tax Increment Financing Plan (the “TIF Plan”) therefor;
all pursuant to and in conformity with applicable law, Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 to
469.1794, as amended (the “TIF Act”), Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.001 to 469.047 and
Sections 469.090 to 469.1081, all inclusive, as amended, (collectively, and together with the TIF
Act, the “Act”), and all as reflected in that certain document entitled in part “Modification of the
Redevelopment Plan for Housing Development and Redevelopment Project No. 1 and Tax
Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 8: Real Estate Equities (a
Housing District)” dated June 7, 2019 (collectively, the “Plans”), presented for the Board’s
consideration;
WHEREAS, the Board has investigated the facts relating to the Plans and certain
information and material (collectively, the “Materials”) relating to the TIF Plan and to the
activities contemplated in TIF District No. 8 have heretofore been prepared and submitted to the
Board and/or made a part of the EDA files and proceedings on the TIF Plan. The Materials
include the tax increment application made and other information supplied by Real Estate
Equities, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (or one or more limited partnerships or other entities to
be formed thereby or affiliated therewith, the “Developer”) as to the activities contemplated
therein, the items listed under the heading “Supporting Documentation” in the TIF Plan, and
information constituting or relating to (1) why the assistance satisfies the so-called “but for” test
and (2) the bases for the other findings and determinations made in this resolution. The Board
hereby confirms, ratifies and adopts the Materials, which are hereby incorporated into and made
as fully a part of this resolution to the same extent as if set forth in full herein;
WHEREAS, the EDA has performed all actions required by law to be performed prior to
the adoption and approval of the Plans, including but not limited to notice to the County
Commissioner representing the area of the County to be included in TIF District No. 8, and
delivery of the Plans to Hennepin County and Independent School District No. 281
2
587107v3BR291-400
(Robbinsdale); and the City Council has held a public hearing thereon on the date hereof
following notice thereof published in accordance with state law;
WHEREAS, TIF District No. 8 is being established to facilitate the acquisition,
construction and equipping of an approximately 270-unit rental housing development, including
workforce housing and senior housing, and related amenities (the “Development”) to be
constructed by the Developer.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners (the “Board”)
of the Economic Development Authority of the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota (the
“EDA”), as follows:
Section 1. Findings for the Adoption and Approval of the Plans.
1.01. The Board hereby finds that the boundaries of the Project Area are not being
expanded and the Redevelopment Plan is not being modified other than to incorporate the
establishment of TIF District No. 8 therein and therefore the Board reaffirms the findings and
determinations originally made in connection with the establishment of the Redevelopment
Project area and the adoption of the Redevelopment Plan therefor.
1.02. The Board hereby finds that TIF District No. 8 is in the public interest and is a
“housing district” within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 11,
because it consists of a project or portion of a project intended for occupancy, in part, by persons
or families of low and moderate income as defined in Chapter 462A, Title II of the National
Housing Act of 1934; the National Housing Act of 1959; the United States Housing Act of 1937,
as amended; Title V of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended; and any other similar present or
future federal, state or municipal legislation or the regulations promulgated under any of those
acts. No more than 20% of the square footage of buildings that receive assistance from tax
increments will consist of commercial, retail or other nonresidential uses.
The Development to be constructed in TIF District No. 8 will consist of approximately
270 units of workforce or senior rental housing. Developer has represented that at least 40% of
the units (i.e., 108 units) will be rented to and occupied by individuals or families whose income
is not greater than 60% or less of area median income and that no more than 20% of the square
footage of buildings that receive assistance from tax increments will consist of commercial, retail
or other nonresidential uses.
1.03. The Board hereby makes the following additional findings in connection with TIF
District No. 8:
(a) The Board further finds that the proposed development, in the opinion of
the Board of Commissioners, would not occur solely through private investment within
the reasonably foreseeable future and, therefore, the use of tax increment financing is
deemed necessary. The specific basis for such finding being:
The construction of the Development would not be undertaken in
the reasonably foreseeable future. The property has remained
3
587107v3BR291-400
undeveloped for several years despite previous efforts to redevelop
the property. The rents for affordable housing projects do not
provide a sufficient return on investment to stimulate new
development. The Developer has represented that it could not
proceed with the Development without the tax increment
assistance to be provided to the Developer. The Developer has
provided the EDA its estimated Development proforma outlining
project sources and uses as well as projected rent, vacancy and
financing assumptions. City staff and the City’s advisors reviewed
the information and have determined the Development is not
feasible without the proposed assistance due to anticipated rent
levels and market returns not supporting the development costs.
Based on the review, the EDA does not expect that a development
of this type would occur in the reasonably foreseeable future but
for the use of tax increment assistance.
(b) The Board further finds that the TIF Plan conforms to the general plan for
the development or redevelopment of the EDA as a whole. The specific basis for such
finding being:
The TIF Plan will generally compliment and serve to implement
policies adopted in the City’s comprehensive plan. The
development contemplated on the property is in accordance with
the existing zoning for the property, as modified in accordance
with an approved planned unit development agreement.
(c) The Board further finds that the TIF Plan will afford maximum
opportunity consistent with the sound needs of the EDA as a whole for the development
of TIF District No. 8 by private enterprise. The specific basis for such finding being:
The proposed development to occur within TIF District No. 8 is
primarily low and moderate income senior or workforce housing.
The development will increase the taxable market valuation of the
City, and the number of available low and moderate income senior
and workforce housing units in the City.
1.04. The provisions of this Section 1 are hereby incorporated by reference into and
made a part of the TIF Plan and the findings set forth in Appendix C to the TIF Plan are hereby
incorporated by reference into and made a part of this Resolution.
1.05. The Board further finds that the Plans are intended and in the judgment of the
Board their effect will be to promote the public purposes and accomplish the objectives specified
in the TIF Plan for TIF District No. 8 and the Redevelopment Plan for the Redevelopment
Project.

Section 2. Approval and Adoption of the Plans; Policy on Interfund Loans and
Advances.
2.01. TIF District No. 8 is hereby established and the Plans, as presented to the Board
on this date, including without limitation the findings and statements of objectives contained
therein, are hereby approved, ratified, established, and adopted, and shall be placed on file in the
office of the City Finance Director. Approval of the Plans does not constitute approval of any
project or a development agreement with any developer. The Business and Development
Director is hereby directed to request, in writing, the Hennepin County Auditor to certify the new
TIF District No. 8 and to file the Plans with the Commissioner of Revenue and the Office of the
State Auditor.
2.02. The Board hereby approves a policy on interfund loans or advances (“Loans”) for
TIF District No. 8, as follows:
(a) The authorized tax increment eligible costs (including without limitation
out-of-pocket administrative expenses in an amount up to $1,750,780, interest in an
amount up to $6,978,073 and other development costs in an amount up to $10,529,725)
payable from TIF District No. 8, as provided in the TIF Plan as originally adopted or as it
may be amended, may need to be financed on a short-term and/or long-term basis via one
or more Loans, as may be determined by the City Finance Director from time to time.
(b) The Loans may be advanced if and as needed from available monies in
any fund or account of the EDA designated by the City Finance Director. Loans may be
structured as draw-down or “line of credit” obligations of the lending fund(s).
(c) Neither the maximum principal amount of any one Loan nor the aggregate
principal amount of all Loans may exceed may exceed $19,258,578 outstanding at any
time.
(d) All Loans shall mature not later than February 1, 2047 or such earlier date
as the City Finance Director may specify in writing. All Loans may be pre-paid, in whole
or in part, whether from tax increment revenue, tax increment revenue bond proceeds or
other eligible sources.
(e) The outstanding and unpaid principal amount of each Loan shall bear

Subdivision 7), which is the greater of the rates specified under Sections 270C.40 or

Modification to the Redevelopment Plan for
Housing Development and Redevelopment
Project No. 01
Foreword
The following text represents a Modification to the Redevelopment Plan for Housing Development
and Redevelopment Project No. 01. This modification represents a continuation of the goals and
objectives set forth in the Redevelopment Plan for Housing Development and Redevelopment
Project No. 01. Generally, the substantive changes include the establishment of Tax Increment
Financing District No. 8: Real Estate Equities.
For further information, a review of the Redevelopment Plan for Housing Development and
Redevelopment Project No. 01 is recommended. It is available from the Community Development
Director at the Brooklyn Center City Hall. Other relevant information is contained in the Tax
Increment Financing Plans for the Tax Increment Financing Districts located within Housing
Development and Redevelopment Project No. 01.
City of Brooklyn Center
Tax Increment Financing District No. 8: Real Estate Equities 3
Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment
Financing District No. 8: Real Estate Equities
Foreword
The Brooklyn Center Economic Development Authority (the “EDA”), the City of Brooklyn Center
(the "City"), staff and consultants have prepared the following information to expedite the
establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 8: Real Estate Equities (the "District"), a
housing tax increment financing district, located in Housing Development and Redevelopment
Project No. 01.
Statutory Authority
Within the City, there exist areas where public involvement is necessary to cause development
or redevelopment to occur. To this end, the EDA and City have certain statutory powers pursuant
to Minnesota Statutes ("M.S."), Sections 469.090to 469.1082, inclusive, as amended, and M.S.,
Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, inclusive, as amended (the "Tax Increment Financing Act" or "TIF
Act"), to assist in financing public costs related to this project.
This section contains the Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "TIF Plan") for the District. Other
relevant information is contained in the Modification to the Redevelopment Plan for Housing
Development and Redevelopment Project No. 01.
Statement of Objectives
The District currently consists of one parcel of land and adjacent and internal rights-of-way. The
District is being created to facilitate the development of 270 units of affordable rental housing in
the City. Development will include 127 units of workforce housing and 180 units of senior housing.
The City anticipated entering into an agreement with Real Estate Equities and development on
Phase I (workforce) is expected to begin in 2019 and the senior housing will commence in 2020.
This TIF Plan is expected to achieve many of the objectives outlined in the Redevelopment Plan
for Housing Development and Redevelopment Project No. 01.
The activities contemplated in the Modification to the Redevelopment Plan and the TIF Plan do
not preclude the undertaking of other qualified development or redevelopment activities. These
activities are anticipated to occur over the life of Housing Development and Redevelopment
Project No. 01 and the District.
Redevelopment Plan Overview
1. Property to be Acquired - Selected property located within the District may be
acquired by the City and is further described in this TIF Plan.
2. Relocation - Relocation services, to the extent required by law, are available
pursuant to M.S., Chapter 117 and other relevant state and federal laws.
3. Upon approval of a developer's plan relating to the project and completion of the
City of Brooklyn Center
Tax Increment Financing District No. 8: Real Estate Equities 4
necessary legal requirements, the City may sell to a developer selected properties
that it may acquire within the District or may lease land or facilities to a developer.
4. The City may perform or provide for some or all necessary acquisition,
construction, relocation, demolition, and required utilities and public street work
within the District.
Description of Property in the District and Property to be Acquired
The District encompasses all property and adjacent rights-of-way and abutting roadways
identified by the parcels listed below.
The parcel is currently in Tax Increment Financing District No. 3 and will be removed prior to the
establishment of the TIF District.
Please also see the map in Appendix A for further information on the location of the District.
The EDA or City may acquire any parcel within the District including interior and adjacent street
rights of way. Any properties identified for acquisition will be acquired by the EDA or City only in
order to accomplish one or more of the following: storm sewer improvements; provide land for
needed public streets, utilities and facilities; carry out land acquisition, site improvements,
clearance and/or development to accomplish the uses and objectives set forth in this plan. The
EDA or City may acquire property by gift, dedication, condemnation or direct purchase from willing
sellers in order to achieve the objectives of this TIF Plan. Such acquisitions will be undertaken
only when there is assurance of funding to finance the acquisition and related costs.
Classification of the District
The EDA and City, in determining the need to create a tax increment financing district in
accordance with M.S., Sections 469.174 to 469.1799, as amended, inclusive, find that the District,
to be established, is a housing district pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 11 and M.S.,
Section 469.1761.
In meeting the statutory criteria, the EDA and City rely on the following facts and findings:
▪ The District consists of one parcel.
▪ The development will consist of 270 units of affordable rental housing in the City.
▪ 100% of the units will be occupied by persons with incomes at or below 60% of median
income.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 7, the District does not contain any parcel or part of a
parcel that qualified under the provisions of M.S., Sections 273.111, 273.112, or 273.114 or
Chapter 473H for taxes payable in any of the five calendar years before the filing of the request
for certification of the District.

Tax Increment Financing District No. 8: Real Estate Equities 5
Duration and First Year of Tax Increment of the District
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 1, and Section 469.176, Subd. 1, the duration and first
year of tax increment of the District must be indicated within the TIF Plan. Pursuant to M.S.,
Section 469.176, Subd. 1b., the duration of the District will be 26 years. The EDA and City elect
to receive the first tax increment in 2021, which is no later than four years following the year of
approval of the District. Thus, it is estimated that the District, including any modifications of the
TIF Plan for subsequent phases or other changes, would terminate after 2046, or when the TIF
Plan is satisfied. The EDA and City reserve the right to decertify the District prior to the legally
required date.
Original Tax Capacity, Tax Rate and Estimated Captured Net Tax
Capacity Value/Increment and Notification of Prior Planned
Improvements
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 7 and M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, the Original Net
Tax Capacity (ONTC) as certified for the District will be based on the market values placed on the
property by the assessor in 2019 for taxes payable 2020.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subds. 1 and 2, the County Auditor shall certify in each year
(beginning in the payment year 2021) the amount by which the original value has increased or
decreased as a result of:
1. Change in tax exempt status of property;
2. Reduction or enlargement of the geographic boundaries of the district;
3. Change due to adjustments, negotiated or court-ordered abatements;
4. Change in the use of the property and classification;
5. Change in state law governing class rates; or
6. Change in previously issued building permits.
In any year in which the current Net Tax Capacity (NTC) value of the District declines below the
ONTC, no value will be captured, and no tax increment will be payable to the EDA or City.
The original local tax rate for the District will be the local tax rate for taxes payable 2020, assuming
the request for certification is made before June 30, 2020. The ONTC and the Original Local Tax
Rate for the District appear in the table below (Pay 2019 rate was used since 2020 rates are not
yet available).
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174 Subd. 4 and M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, 2, and 4, the
estimated Captured Net Tax Capacity (CTC) of the District, within Housing Development and
Redevelopment Project No. 01, upon completion of the projects within the District, will annually
generate tax increment revenues as shown in the table below. The EDA and City request 100
percent of the available increase in tax capacity for repayment of its obligations and current
expenditures, beginning in the tax year payable 2021. The Project Tax Capacity (PTC) listed is
an estimate of values when the projects within the District are completed.
City of Brooklyn Center
Tax Increment Financing District No. 8: Real Estate Equities 6
Note: Tax capacity includes a 3% inflation factor for the duration of the District. The tax
capacity included in this chart is the estimated tax capacity of the District in year 25. The tax
capacity of the District in year one is estimated to be $76,200.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 4, the City shall, after a due and diligent search,
accompany its request for certification to the County Auditor or its notice of the District
enlargement pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 4, with a listing of all properties within the
District or area of enlargement for which building permits have been issued during the eighteen
(18) months immediately preceding approval of the TIF Plan by the municipality pursuant to M.S.,
Section 469.175, Subd. 3. The County Auditor shall increase the original net tax capacity of the
District by the net tax capacity of improvements for which a building permit was issued.
The EDA and City have reviewed the area to be included in the District and found no parcels for
which building permits have been issued during the 18 months immediately preceding approval
of the TIF Plan by the City.
Sources of Revenue/Bonds to be Issued
The costs outlined in the Uses of Funds will be financed primarily through the annual collection of
tax increments. The EDA and City reserve the right to incur bonds or other indebtedness as a
result of the TIF Plan. As presently proposed, the projects within the District will be financed by
a pay-as-you-go note and interfund loan. Any refunding amounts will be deemed a budgeted cost
without a formal TIF Plan Modification. This provision does not obligate the EDA or City to incur
debt. The EDA or City will issue bonds or incur other debt only upon the determination that such
action is in the best interest of the City.
The total estimated tax increment revenues for the District are shown in the table below:
The EDA or City may issue bonds (as defined in the TIF Act) secured in whole or in part with tax
increments from the District in a maximum principal amount of $12,280,505. Such bonds may be
in the form of pay-as-you-go notes, revenue bonds or notes, general obligation bonds, or interfund
loans. This estimate of total bonded indebtedness is a cumulative statement of authority under
this TIF Plan as of the date of approval.

Uses of Funds
Currently under consideration for the District is a proposal to facilitate to facilitate the development
of 270 units of affordable housing. The EDA and City have determined that it will be necessary
to provide assistance to the projects for certain District costs, as described. The EDA and City
have studied the feasibility of the development or redevelopment of property in and around the
District. To facilitate the establishment and development or redevelopment of the District, this TIF
Plan authorizes the use of tax increment financing to pay for the cost of certain eligible expenses.
The estimate of public costs and uses of funds associated with the District is outlined in the
following table.
The total project cost, including financing costs (interest) listed in the table above does not exceed
the total projected tax increments for the District as shown in the Sources of Revenue section.
Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions
The estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions assumes that the development contemplated
by the TIF Plan would occur without the creation of the District. However, the EDA and City have
determined that such development or redevelopment would not occur "but for" tax increment
financing and that, therefore, the fiscal impact on other taxing jurisdictions is $0. The estimated
fiscal impact of the District would be as follows if the "but for" test was not met:
USES
Land/Building Acquisition 1,000,000$
Site Improvements/Preparation 750,000$
Utilities 350,000$

The estimates listed above display the captured tax capacity when all construction is completed.
The tax rate used for calculations is the Pay 2019 rate. The total net capacity for the entities listed
above are based on Pay 2019 figures. The District will be certified under the Pay 2020 rates,
which were unavailable at the time this TIF Plan was prepared.
Pursuant to M.S. Section 469.175 Subd. 2(b):
(1) Estimate of total tax increment. It is estimated that the total amount of tax increment
that will be generated over the life of the District is $17,507,798;
(2) Probable impact of the District on city provided services and ability to issue debt. An
impact of the District on police protection is expected. The current site is a vacant
parking lot adjacent to a heavily used transit facility. The transit facility currently
generates a high volume of police calls, some of which spill onto this site. It is
anticipated that the development will reduce the amount of spillover activity from the
transit center and increase the amount of positive activity on the site. Further, the
increase in transit users generated from the development will likely have a positive
effect on the transit facility. The City does not expect that the proposed development,
in and of itself, will necessitate new capital investment in vehicles or facilities.
The probable impact of the District on fire protection is not expected to be significant.
Typically, new buildings generate few calls, if any, and are of superior construction.
The existing buildings, which will be eliminated by the new development, have public
safety concerns that include several unprotected old buildings with issues such as
access, hydrant locations, and converted structures. The City does not expect that
the proposed development, in and of itself, will necessitate new capital investment in
vehicles or facilities.
The impact of the District on public infrastructure is expected to be minimal. The
development is not expected to significantly impact any traffic movements in the area.
The current infrastructure for sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water will be able to
handle the additional volume generated from the proposed development. Based on
the development plans, there are no additional costs associated with street
maintenance, sweeping, plowing, lighting and sidewalks. The development in the
District is expected to contribute an estimated $668,465 (269 units at $2,485/unit) in
sanitary sewer connection fees.
The probable impact of any District general obligation tax increment bonds on the
ability to issue debt for general fund purposes is expected to be minimal. It is not
anticipated that there will be any general obligation debt issued in relation to this

project, therefore there will be no impact on the City's ability to issue future debt or on
the City's debt limit.
(3) Estimated amount of tax increment attributable to school district levies. It is estimated
that the amount of tax increments over the life of the District that would be attributable
to school district levies, assuming the school district's share of the total local tax rate
for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same, is $3,443,372;
(4) Estimated amount of tax increment attributable to county levies. It is estimated that the
amount of tax increments over the life of the District that would be attributable to county
levies, assuming the county's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions
remained the same, is $4,805,389;
(5) Additional information requested by the county or school district. The City is not aware
of any standard questions in a county or school district written policy regarding tax
increment districts and impact on county or school district services. The county or school
district must request additional information pursuant to M.S. Section 469.175 Subd. 2(b)
within 15 days after receipt of the tax increment financing plan.
No requests for additional information from the county or school district regarding the
proposed development for the District have been received.
Supporting Documentation
Pursuant to M.S. Section 469.175, Subd. 1 (a), clause 7 the TIF Plan must contain identification
and description of studies and analyses used to make the determination set forth in M.S. Section
469.175, Subd. 3, clause (b)(2) and the findings are required in the resolution approving the
District.
(i) In making said determination, reliance has been placed upon (1) written representation
made by the developer to such effects; and (2) City staff awareness of the feasibility
of developing the project site within the District, which is further outlined in t he City
Council resolution approving the establishment of the TIF District and in Appendix C.
(i) A comparative analysis of estimated market value both with and without establishment
of the TIF District and the use of tax increments has been performed. Such analysis is
included with the cashflow in Appendix B and indicates that the increase in estimated
market value of the proposed development (less the indicated subtractions) exceeds
the estimated market value of the site absent the establishment of the TIF District and
the use of tax increments.
Administration of the District
Administration of the District will be handled by the Community Development Director.

City of Brooklyn Center
Tax Increment Financing District No. 8: Real Estate Equities 12
Appendix C: Findings Including But/For Qualifications
1.01. The Council finds that the boundaries of the Project Area are not being expanded
and the Redevelopment Plan is not being modified other than to incorporate the establishment of
TIF District No. 8 therein and therefore the Council reaffirms the findings and determinations
originally made in connection with the establishment of the Redevelopment Project area and the
adoption of the Redevelopment Plan therefor.
1.02. The Council hereby finds that TIF District No. 8 is in the public interest and is a
“housing district” within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 11,
because it consists of a project or portion of a project intended for occupancy, in part, by persons
or families of low and moderate income as defined in Chapter 462A, Title II of the National
Housing Act of 1934; the National Housing Act of 1959; the United States Housing Act of 1937,
as amended; Title V of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended; and any other similar present or
future federal, state or municipal legislation or the regulations promulgated under any of those
acts. No more than 20% of the square footage of buildings that receive assistance from tax
increments will consist of commercial, retail or other nonresidential uses.
The Development to be constructed in TIF District No. 8 will consist of approximately 270
units of workforce or senior rental housing. The Developer has represented that at least 40% of
the units (i.e., 108 units) will be rented to and occupied by individuals or families whose income
is not greater than 60% or less of area median income and that no more than 20% of the square
footage of buildings that receive assistance from tax increments will consist of commercial, retail
or other nonresidential uses.
1.03. The Council hereby makes the following additional findings in connection with TIF
District No. 8:
(a) The Council further finds that the proposed development, in the opinion of
the Council, would not occur solely through private investment within the reasonably
foreseeable future and, therefore, the use of tax increment financing is deemed necessary.
The specific basis for such finding being:
The construction of the Development would not be undertaken in
the reasonably foreseeable future. The property has remained
undeveloped for several years despite previous efforts to redevelop
the property. The rents for affordable housing projects do not
provide a sufficient return on investment to stimulate new
development. The Developer has represented that it could not
proceed with the Development without the tax increment assistance
to be provided to the Developer. The Developer has provided the
City its estimated Development proforma outlining project sources
and uses as well as projected rent, vacancy and financing
assumptions. City staff and the City’s advisors reviewed the
information and have determined the Development is not feasible
without the proposed assistance due to anticipated rent levels and
market returns not supporting the development costs. Based on the
review, the City does not expect that a development of this type
City of Brooklyn Center
Tax Increment Financing District No. 8: Real Estate Equities 13
would occur in the reasonably foreseeable future but for the use of
tax increment assistance.
(b) The Council further finds that the TIF Plan conforms to the general plan for
the development or redevelopment of the City as a whole. The specific basis for such
finding being:
The TIF Plan will generally compliment and serve to implement
policies adopted in the City’s comprehensive plan. The
development contemplated on the property is in accordance with the
existing zoning for the property, as modified in accordance with an
approved planned unit development agreement.
(c) The Council further finds that the TIF Plan will afford maximum
opportunity consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole for the development of
TIF District No. 8 by private enterprise. The specific basis for such finding being:
The proposed development to occur within TIF District No. 8 is
primarily low- and moderate-income senior or workforce housing.
The development will increase the taxable market valuation of the
City, and the number of available low- and moderate-income senior
and workforce housing units in the City.
