Redevelopment Plan Amendment
Grand Island CRA Area 19
February 2016
The Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) of the City of Grand Island
intends to adopt a Redevelopment Plan for Area 19 within the city, pursuant to the
Nebraska Community Development Law (the “Act”) and provide for the financing
of a specific project in Area 19.
Executive Summary:
Project Description
THE REDEVELOPMENT OF PROPERTY LOCATED NORTH OF U.S. HIGHWAY
34 (HUSKER HIGHWAY) AND EAST OF SOUTH LOCUST STREET (LOT 3 OF
VANOSDALL SECOND SUBDIVISION) FOR USE THE CONSTRUCTION AND
DEVELOPEMNT OF UP TO 288 APARTMENTS (8 BUILDING WITH 36 UNITS IN
EACH BUILDING) INCLUDING ACQUISTION OF PROPERERTY AND
NECESSARY INFRASTRUCTURE AND GRADING IMPROVEMENTS.
The use of Tax Increment Financing to aid in rehabilitation expenses associated with
acquisition of property and necessary infrastructure and grading improvements to
redevelop Lot 3 of Vanosdall Second Subdivision in the City of Grand Island. The use of
Tax Increment Financing is an integral part of the development plan and necessary to
make this project affordable. The project will result in the construction of a 288
apartments in southeast Grand Island, constituting the largest residential development
south of Stolley Park Road and east of Blaine Street in more than 40 years. The cost of
extending and connecting water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer makes developing this
property at the southeast entrance to the City of Grand Island prohibitively expensive.
Talon Apartments has offered $306,000 for the property including closing costs and the
offer has been accepted contingent upon the approval of Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
available to offset the cost of the property and the necessary grading and infrastructure
improvements to develop the property. Acquisition of property is an eligible TIF activity.
The property is currently vacant with the exception of the concession stand and bathroom
building that was there to support the ballfields that used to occupy this space. The
developer is responsible for and has provided evidence that they can secure adequate debt
financing to cover the costs associated with the site work and remodeling. The Grand
Island Community Redevelopment Authority (CRA) intends to pledge the ad valorem
taxes generated over the 15 year period towards the allowable costs and associated
financing for the acquisition and site work.
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING TO PAY FOR THE REHABILITATION OF THE
PROPERTY WILL COME FROM THE FOLLOWING REAL PROPERTY:
Property Description (the “Redevelopment Project Area”)
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/11/2016 Page 61 / 72
Legal Descriptions: Lot 3 Vanosdall Second Subdivision in Grand Island, Hall County,
Nebraska.
Existing Land Use and Subject Property
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/11/2016 Page 62 / 72
The tax increment will be captured for the tax years the payments for which become
delinquent in years 2018 through 2032 inclusive or as otherwise dictated by the
contract.
The real property ad valorem taxes on the current valuation will continue to be paid
to the normal taxing entities. The increase will come from the construction of
apartment buildings at this location. Apartments are permitted in the current B2-
AC General Business with an Arterial Commercial overlay. The developers have
submitted a request for a change of zoning and approval of a development plan for
an RD Residential Development zone.
Statutory Pledge of Taxes.
Pursuant to Section 18-2147 of the Act, any ad valorem tax levied upon real property in
the Redevelopment Project Area shall be divided, for the period not to exceed 15 years
after the effective date of the provision, which effective date shall be set according to the
approved contract. It is anticipated that this project will be divided into as many as 4
phases with each phase eligible for ad valorem tax division for a period of up to 15 years.
a. That portion of the ad valorem tax which is produced by levy at the rate
fixed each year by or for each public body upon the redevelopment project valuation shall
be paid into the funds, of each such public body in the same proportion as all other taxes
collected by or for the bodies; and
b. That portion of the ad valorem tax on real property in the
redevelopment project in excess of such amount, if any, shall be allocated to and, when
collected, paid into a special fund of the Authority to pay the principal of; the interest on,
and any premiums due in connection with the bonds, loans, notes, or advances on money
to, or indebtedness incurred by, whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise, such
Authority for financing or refinancing, in whole or in part, a redevelopment project.
When such bonds, loans, notes, advances of money, or indebtedness including interest
and premium due have been paid, the Authority shall so notify the County Assessor and
County Treasurer and all ad valorem taxes upon real property in such redevelopment
project shall be paid into the funds of the respective public bodies.
Pursuant to Section 18-2150 of the Act, the ad valorem tax so divided is hereby pledged
to the repayment of loans or advances of money, or the incurring of any indebtedness,
whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise, by the CRA to finance or refinance, in
whole or in part, the redevelopment project, including the payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on such bonds, loans, notes, advances, or indebtedness.
Redevelopment Plan Amendment Complies with the Act:
The Community Development Law requires that a Redevelopment Plan and Project
consider and comply with a number of requirements. This Plan Amendment meets the
statutory qualifications as set forth below.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/11/2016 Page 63 / 72
1. The Redevelopment Project Area has been declared blighted and substandard by
action of the Grand Island City Council on February 23, 2016.[§18-2109] Such
declaration was made after a public hearing with full compliance with the public
notice requirements of §18-2115 of the Act.
2. Conformation to the General Plan for the Municipality as a whole. [§18-2103 (13)
(a) and §18-2110]
Grand Island adopted a Comprehensive Plan on July 13, 2004. This redevelopment plan
and project are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, in that no changes in the
Comprehensive Plan elements are intended. This plan merely provides funding for the
developer to acquire extend utilities and infrastructure for uses permitted on this property
as defined by the current and effective zoning regulations.
3. The Redevelopment Plan must be sufficiently complete to address the following
items: [§18-2103(13) (b)]
a. Land Acquisition:
This Redevelopment Plan for Area 19 provides and anticipates real property acquisition
by the developer. There is no proposed acquisition by the authority.
b. Demolition and Removal of Structures:
The project to be implemented with this plan does require and provide for the demolition
and removal existing structures on this property. The existing structure is a concession
stand and bathroom facility that was built to support ball fields that have not been used in
more than 15 years.
c. Future Land Use Plan
See the attached map from the 2004 Grand Island Comprehensive Plan. The area
immediately to the north this property is planned for low to medium density residential,
generally a density of 14 dwelling units per acre or less. The subject property is
separated from the property to the north by a lake. The property to the south is planned
and zoned for commercial development, Walmart is located there. The property to the
west is vacant and available for commercial development. This property to the contains a
single family residence and a farm residence it is planned for medium density residential
to office uses and would allow a density of 42+ dwelling units per acre.. [§18-2103(b)
and §18-2111] The attached map also is an accurate site plan of the area after
redevelopment. [§18-2111(5)]
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/11/2016 Page 64 / 72
City of Grand Island Future Land Use Map
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/11/2016 Page 65 / 72
d. Changes to zoning, street layouts and grades or building codes or ordinances or
other Planning changes.
The area is zoned B2-AC General Business with an Arterial Commercial Overlay.
Apartment development at up to 42 dwelling units per acre is permitted within this
zoning district. The developers are seeking to rezone the property to RD Residential
Development zone a planned development that is commonly used for apartment
complexes within the Grand Island Zoning jurisdiction. As part of the RD zone change
and approval drainage from the proposed development will be considered, the primary
drainage pattern is toward and into the lake to the north and that will be maintained.
Internal streets and drives will be constructed to support the development of this property.
Changes are likely, offsite, to the south and west along U.S. Highway 34 that include
removal of the free right turn lane from U.S. Highway 34 west onto Locust Street north
and the construction of a drive access across the former Desert Rose property to the west
along the south side of Rodeway Inn. No changes are anticipated in building codes or
ordinances. Nor are any other planning changes contemplated. [§18-2103(b) and §18-
2111]
e. Site Coverage and Intensity of Use
The developer is proposing to build on the site within the constraints allowed by both the
current and the proposed zoning districts. [§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
f. Additional Public Facilities or Utilities
Water and sanitary are available to support this development. The developer will be
responsible for extension of water and sanitary sewer necessary to serve this site.
Development and extension of this infrastructure is one of the primary challenges for this
site. Water is proposed to be extended from both the south (under U.S. Highway 34) and
the west along the south edge of the Desert Rose property to complete a looped system
capable of supporting the development and being extended to the east as additional
development occurs along U.S. Highway 34. Sanitary sewer is proposed to be extended
from the northwest corner of the lake along Midaro Drive along the east edge of the lake
and onto the property. This sewer extension will increase the possibility of serving
properties east of Midaro Drive toward Stuhr Road.
Electric utilities will be extended throughout the site to support the proposed
development.
No other city utilities would be impacted by the development.
[§18-2103(b) and §18-2111]
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/11/2016 Page 66 / 72
4. The Act requires a Redevelopment Plan provide for relocation of individuals and
families displaced as a result of plan implementation. This property has been
unused for several years, no relocation is contemplated or necessary. [§18-2103.02]
5. No member of the Authority, nor any employee thereof holds any interest in any
property in this Redevelopment Project Area. [§18-2106] No members of the
authority or staff of the CRA has any interest in this property.
6. Section 18-2114 of the Act requires that the Authority consider:
a. Method and cost of acquisition and preparation for redevelopment and estimated
proceeds from disposal to redevelopers.
The developer has a contract to purchase this property contingent on approval of the Tax
Increment Financing. The cost this property is $306,000 and would be a TIF eligible
expense. Grading, demolition, storm water management, utility connections and
extensions, landscaping and similar site improvements are estimated at $3,161,778.
Planning related expenses for Architecture, Engineering, Planning and Development
services of $2,089,811 and are included as a TIF eligible expense. Legal, Developer and
Audit Fees including a reimbursement to the City and the CRA of $52,000 are included
as TIF eligible expense. The total of eligible expenses for this project is $5,604,789 at a
minimum and potentially as much at $6,227,534.
No property will be transferred to redevelopers by the Authority. The developer will
provide and secure all necessary financing.
b. Statement of proposed method of financing the redevelopment project.
The developer will provide all necessary financing for the project. The Authority will
assist the project by granting the sum of $4,743,120 from the proceeds of the TIF
Indebtedness issued by the Authority. This indebtedness will be repaid from the Tax
Increment Revenues generated from the project. TIF revenues shall be made available to
repay the original debt and associated interest according to the approved contract.
c. Statement of feasible method of relocating displaced families.
No families will be displaced as a result of this plan.
7. Section 18-2113 of the Act requires:
Prior to recommending a redevelopment plan to the governing body for approval, an
authority shall consider whether the proposed land uses and building requirements in the
redevelopment project area are designed with the general purpose of accomplishing, in
conformance with the general plan, a coordinated, adjusted, and harmonious development
of the city and its environs which will, in accordance with present and future needs,
promote health, safety, morals, order, convenience, prosperity, and the general welfare, as
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/11/2016 Page 67 / 72
well as efficiency and economy in the process of development, including, among other
things, adequate provision for traffic, vehicular parking, the promotion of safety from
fire, panic, and other dangers, adequate provision for light and air, the promotion of the
healthful and convenient distribution of population, the provision of adequate
transportation, water, sewerage, and other public utilities, schools, parks, recreational and
community facilities, and other public requirements, the promotion of sound design and
arrangement, the wise and efficient expenditure of public funds, and the prevention of the
recurrence of insanitary or unsafe dwelling accommodations or conditions of blight.
The Authority has considered these elements in proposing this Plan Amendment. This
amendment, in and of itself will promote consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. This
will have the intended result of preventing recurring elements of blighted conditions
including vacant and underutilized building sites.
8. Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed between July 2016 and
December of 2020. The developers anticipate building two building (72 units) in each
phase of this development. All four phases could be completed within 2 years or
depending on market absorption could take as long as 1 or 2 years per phase. Excess
valuation should be available for this project for 15 years on each phase of this project
beginning with the 2018 tax year.
9. Justification of Project
This space has been vacant and underutilized for a number of years and has not sold or
redeveloped even with aggressive marketing by the owner. When Walmart opened in
2004 there was a hope that development along this corridor would increase, that has not
happened. The costs to extend sewer and water to this property are extremely high due to
the highway on the south side of the property and the lake on the north side of the
property and the location of those utilities. The extension of sewer and water to this
property will allow for increased service territory for those utilities to the east of this
property. A 2004 plan for South Locust by RDG Planning and Design of Omaha
suggested apartment development at this location.
10. Cost Benefit Analysis Section 18-2113 of the Act, further requires the Authority
conduct a cost benefit analysis of the plan amendment in the event that Tax Increment
Financing will be used. This analysis must address specific statutory issues.
As authorized in the Nebraska Community Development Law, §18-2147, Neb. Rev. Stat.
(2012), the City of Grand Island has analyzed the costs and benefits of the proposed
Redevelopment Project, including:
Project Sources and Uses. Approximately $4,743,120 in public funds from tax
increment financing provided by the Grand Island Community Redevelopment Authority

will be required to complete the project. This investment by the Authority will leverage
$21,916,610 in private sector financing; a private investment of $4.62 for every TIF and
grant dollar investment.1

Tax Revenue. The property to be redeveloped is anticipated to have a January 1, 2016,
valuation of approximately $300,000. Based on the 2015 levy this would result in a real
property tax of approximately $6,629. It is anticipated that the assessed value will
increase by $13,635,485 upon full completion, as a result of the site redevelopment. This
development will result in an estimated tax increase of over $298,208 annually. The tax
increment gained from this Redevelopment Project Area would not be available for use
as city general tax revenues, for the period of the TIF contract or the time as may be
required to amortize the TIF bond, but would be used for eligible private redevelopment
costs to enable this project to be realized.
Estimated 2016 assessed value:$ 300,000
Estimated value after completion $ 13,935,485
Increment value $ 13,635,485
Annual TIF generated (estimated)$ 298,208
TIF bond issue $ 4,743,120
(a) Tax shifts resulting from the approval of the use of Tax Increment Financing;
The redevelopment project area currently has an estimated valuation of $300,000.
The proposed redevelopment will create additional valuation of $1,635,485. No tax
shifts are anticipated from the project. The project creates additional valuation that will
support taxing entities long after the project is paid off.
(b) Public infrastructure and community public service needs impacts and local tax
impacts arising from the approval of the redevelopment project;
1 This does not include any investment in personal property at this time.
Grand Island Regular Meeting - 5/11/2016 Page 69 / 72
No additional public service needs have been identified. Existing water and waste
water facilities will not be negatively impacted by this development. The electric utility
has sufficient capacity to support the development. This development since it is housing
may have an impact on Grand Island Public Schools. This property is in the Star
Elementary School area and the new Star is under construction and will be completed
before this project is completed. Fire and police protection are available and should not
be negatively impacted by this development.
(c) Impacts on employers and employees of firms locating or expanding within the
boundaries of the area of the redevelopment project;
This will have minimal impact on employers or employees within the redevelopment
project area. Although it will increase housing choices in southeast Grand Island and
may positively impact recruitment of employees for businesses located in this part of the
community.
(d) Impacts on other employers and employees within the city or village and the
immediate area that are located outside of the boundaries of the area of the
redevelopment project; and
This project will not have a negative impact on other within the Grand Island area.
(e) Any other impacts determined by the authority to be relevant to the
consideration of costs and benefits arising from the redevelopment project.
This project will be the first large scale housing project in southeast Grand Island in
more than 20 years. It should encourage the development of additional retail in close
proximity to the apartments.
Time Frame for Development
Development of this project is anticipated to be completed during between July of
2016 and December of 2020. The base tax year should be calculated on the value of the
property as of January 1, 2016. Excess valuation should be available for this project for
15 years beginning in 2017 with taxes due in 2018 actual dates will be set within the
contract. Excess valuation will be used to pay the TIF Indebtedness issued by the CRA
per the contract between the CRA and the developer for a period not to exceed 15 years
on each phase of the development or an amount not to exceed $4,743,120 the projected
amount of increment based upon the anticipated value of the project and current tax rate.
Based on the estimates of the expenses of the rehabilitation the developer will spend
between $5,604,789 and $6,227,534 on TIF eligible expenses as part of this development.
