viable alternatives? Who has been involved in the process?)
New state legislation provides a property tax incentive to encourage new construction and improvements to existing buildings
for multifamily housing. Use of the tax incentive will encourage private multifamily housing development and redevelopment in
downtown and other designated mixed-use centers, where new growth is encouraged by the City's comprehensive plan. The
tax incentive only exempts property taxes for ten (1 0) years on the residential improvements. Property taxes on the land,
existing unimproved residential space and non-residential improvements would not be exempt. The property tax incentive is
intended to increase the feasibility of housing development and redevelopment projects within designated mixed-use centers.
The draft ordinance has been presented to a number of groups and individuals and has been reviewed and supported by the
City's Housing Committee and the Planning Commission.
7. Financial Impact: (Future impact on the budget.)
There will be some administrative and marketing costs, which will be partially offset by application fees.
