This Council further finds that the sum of the taxable value of real property in the Incentive District for tax year 2014 and the taxable value of all real property in the City that would have been taxable in tax year 2014 were it not for the fact that the property was in an existing incentive district and therefore exemption from taxation, does not exceed twenty-five percent of the taxable value of real property within the City for tax year 2014.

McDaniel, City Maria Date: July 10, 2015 Initiated By: Angel L. Mumma, Director of Finance Summary Memo Re: Ordinance No. 45 -15 — Establishing a Tax Increment Financing Incentive District (Bridge Park Incentive District) In conjunction with Ordinance No. 44 -15, which authorizes the City Manager to enter into a Development Agreement with Crawford Hoying Development Partners, LLC (`Developer') for the development of property within the Bridge Street District ("BSD'I, Ordinance 45 -15 proposes the establishment of the Bridge Park Incentive District for the project known as Bridge Park. Authorized under Ohio Revised Code 5709.40(C), an Incentive District is a type of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) that applies to owner - occupied housing. Like commercial TIFs, improvements to a parcel are considered a public purpose and exempt from taxation. Property owners are required to make service payments in lieu of the incremental increase in taxes (referred to as PILOTS — payments in lieu of taxes or Service Payments). The amount of these payments is equal to the taxes that would have been due had the Incentive District not been in place. Therefore, a property owner pays no more or less in property taxes /service payments as a result of an Incentive District. Bridge Park Incentive District While the Bridge Park Incentive District will only apply to the owner - occupied housing portions of the Bridge Park project, the boundaries of the Incentive District will match the entire Bridge Park Development (see Exhibit A of Ordinance 45 -15). This is done so that in the future, apartment units, which are considered commercial for taxation purposes, could be converted to owner - occupied condominiums. Currently, owner - occupied housing is only planned on Block Z (west side of the Scioto River) and Block H (east side of the Scioto River). For the purposes of projecting potential service payments, staff has estimated that the market valuation of the owner - occupied private improvements will be $52.6 million. Based on the current millage, and assuming no growth in property valuations, it is estimated that the Incentive District will generate approximately$1,575,000 annually in years 16- 30 — prior to any County or School compensation (see discussion below). A negligible amount of service payments is anticipated in years 1 -15 of the Incentive District as a result of a 15 -year, 100% property tax abatement on owner - occupied housing, as outlined in the Development Agreement. The service payments generated within the Incentive District will be used to fund the public roadway improvements, parking garages and a conference /events facility. The Development Agreement, and more specifically, Exhibit E, "Application of Service Payments and NCA Revenues," indicates how the service payments generated from the improvements will be applied. Memo re. Ord. 45 -15 — Bridge Park Incentive District July 10, 2015 Page 2of3 The proposed Bridge Park Incentive District is within the defined area covered by the Bridge Street District Cooperative Agreement between the Dublin City School District (DCS) and the City. As a reminder, the Cooperative Agreement permits the City to authorize various tax incentives, including TIFs, within the BSD that provide for the following (for each incentive authorized): ■ Years 1 -15 — DCS agrees to forgo 100% of the applicable real estate taxes in respect of the improvements to any particular parcel within the applicable tax incentive district. ■ Years 16 -30 — DCS will receive 10% of what it would have received if the applicable tax incentive district had not been in place. Additionally, as part of the Cooperative Agreement, DCS waived any right to receive notification of the passage of any Ordinance or legislation authorizing the real property tax exemptions. However, staff has notified Dublin City Schools that this new Incentive District within the Bridge Street District is being considered by City Council. Incentive Districts differ from commercial TIFs in that there are some property tax levies that are protected by statute. These include levies approved after January 1, 2006 for MRDD, senior services, ADAMH, the library, children's services, and the zoo. Additionally, ORC stipulates if there is not a mutually agreed upon compensation agreement with the Board of County Commissioners, a prescribed compensation amount must be paid to the County in years 11 -30 of the Incentive District. The City and the developer have proposed a tax sharing plan with Franklin County, which was rejected by the Franklin County Board of Commissioners on June 16, 2015. Such rejections are not unusual for these proposals, and the County's resolution contemplates continued negotiations toward a mutually acceptable compensation agreement with the City of Dublin. If such negotiations prove unsuccessful, the Ohio Revised Code 5709.40(C) establishes the formula for compensation to the "protected" levies. The financial models used by the developer and the City have assumed worst case scenarios, based upon these statutory provisions. Any compensation that is due to the County will be paid directly from the service payments received within the Incentive District. Process to establish an Incentive District State statute provides the process, which must be followed in order to create an Incentive District. The steps are as follows: 1. Notice must be provided to the real property owners whose property is located within the boundaries of the Incentive District. This notice must include a date that a Public Hearing will be conducted. Status: Notices were mailed via first class mail on March 12, 2015 to the then property owners whose property was located within the boundaries of the proposed Incentive District. The property owners included.• City of Dublin, Crawford Hoying Development Partners, LL C, and the Central Ohio Transit A uthority (CO TA). The notice indicated that the public hearing would be held on April 13, 2015. 2. A public hearing must be conducted. Status. A Public Hearing was conducted on April 13, 2015. The minutes from that meeting are attached for reference. Memo re. Ord. 45 -15 — Bridge Park Incentive District July 10, 2015 Page 3 of 3 3. City Council will consider an Ordinance to create the Incentive District Status. First reading of the Ordinance to create the Incentive District is scheduled for Monday, July 13, 2015, with second reading /public hearing scheduled for Monday, August 10, 2015. Staff will recommend approval of Ordinance 45 -15 as an emergency on August 10, 2015.

The CWs desire to ufte econo nk development Incentives that Impact the property tax dWbAm Is a slgntRaruht concern to the Townshdp. Development such as the one proposed with the DRC 5M.40(C) TIF, Community ReI nvestmerht Arm and the Now Cammahfly Authority will demand more fire service, EMS and ad* service than the development pamerns assigned to tat land today. The new pattern of land use will not soarer these bhaeass service demands for at least 30 yeas.
