ACTION REQUESTED: Review and provide direction on Oppidan's proposed development scenario for the former Scheibe Shopping Center Property. 2. BACKGROUND: Since the City Council and HRA granted approvals for the proposed Plymouth Crossroads Station development in 2007, the subject property has gone back to Minnwest Bank through foreclosure. Minnwest continues to look for a partner to redevelop the property and staff has meet with several parties to discuss redevelopment possibilities. Many of the discussions that staff has had have included specific uses, street and utility requirements and costs, and the use of tax increment financing. Unfortunately, to date, no developer has submitted a formal application to the city for review by the Planning Commission and City Council. The newest interested party is Oppidan, a local commercial development company. Prior to moving forward with final negotiations with Minnwest and interested users, representatives from Oppidan have requested an opportunity to discuss their concept and receive some feedback from the City Council. Similar to a sketch review, the details would still need to be discussed and finalized through the formal development review process. However, a high level overview and discussion will provide Oppidan representatives with important information that will help them determine if they should proceed to the next step or not. The three primary issues are: Are the proposed uses appropriate for the property? Would it be appropriate to provide the maximum increment available to assist the project less approximately 10% to cover city administration costs)? Is phased construction of road improvements appropriate? Proposed Uses The current conceptual site plan includes a Shelter Corporation owned assisted living senior housing facility, a fast food use and a pad for a medium sized, approximately 42,000 square Page 1 foot, one user building. The Shelter Corporation facility would be a full care assisted living facility providing housing for seniors with minimal care needs to those requiring full memory care needs. The current building concept includes four stories with 90 to 120 units. Oppidan representatives state that they also have a fast food company interested in the property, but they do not have a user for the approximately 42,000 square foot space. At this point, Oppidan would propose to move forward with a phased development, phase one being the assisted living facility and the fast food use and the second phase being the 42,000 square foot user. A comprehensive plan amendment would be required for the assisted living facility and a PUD amendment would be required for the entire property. Tax Increment Financing Typically, redevelopment is more costly than greenfield development. In this instance costs are significant, based on geotechnical evaluation and the City's desire to relocate the Highway 55 frontage road. The costs presented with the original tax increment request estimated the additional costs to be as high as 2.5 million dollars. Through studies that Oppidan has completed, this figure has been reaffirmed. Originally to help offset the cost of these improvements, the HRA and City Council approved the use of approximately 1.7 million dollars of tax increment. The amount was determined based on an agreed upon assessed value of approximately 13 million dollars and utilizing 90 percent of the increment that would be generated from the proposed new development. This would have been a pay as you go tax increment deal. Oppidan representatives are currently estimating that the value of the first phase, the assisted living facility and the fast food restaurant, would generate over $2,200,000 in increment. Because of the increase in value and increment generated, Oppidan is asking the city to consider a higher amount of pay as you go tax increment be provided to the project. It should be noted that additional increment would also be generated when phase two of the site is developed (the 42,000 square foot use). Public Improvements From project conception, staff has required that the current frontage road in front of the old shopping center be eliminated and a new road built further from Highway 55 (behind many of the proposed uses). The primary purpose of this change would be to allow for safer access to Highway 55 (better stacking distances, etc.). The soils on the property, primarily on the east side of the site are poor and substantial subgrade work will be required prior to construction. Oppidan is asking if the city would also allow the roadway improvements to be phased rather than constructed all at one time. This would allow the upgrade of the current intersection but allow the cost of the eastern portion of the improvements to be tied to a proposed user that could assist in paying for the improvements. Oppidan has asked if the city would be interested in doing the public improvements as a public improvement project rather than requiring them to be completed as part of the development. Staff has indicated that this is not the city's current practice and would not recommend a change in policy because of the additional risk that is associated with constructing the improvements with tax dollars.
