BODY:
Whereas, Section 66.46(4)(h)1, Wisconsin Statutes, permits the City Plan Commission, subject to the approval of the Common Council, to amend the Project Plan for a Tax Incremental District; and
Whereas, The Common Council of the City of Milwaukee ("Common Council") on June 16, 1998 passed File No. 971894 approving a Project Plan and creating Tax Incremental District Number Thirty-Seven (Grand Avenue); and
Whereas, On May 17, 1999, pursuant to Section 66.46(4)(h)1, Wisconsin Statutes, and following the required notice and public hearing, the City Plan Commission adopted an amendment to the Project Plan for Tax Incremental District Number Thirty-Seven ("Amendment"), a copy of which is attached to this Common Council File; and
Whereas, The City Plan Commission has submitted the Amendment to the Common Council for its approval; and
Whereas, Section 66.46(4)(g) and (h)1, Wisconsin Statutes, provides that an amendment to a Project Plan for a Tax Incremental District shall be approved by the Common Council prior to or concurrent with the adoption of a resolution by the Common Council which contains findings that such amendment is feasible and in conformity with the master plan of the city; and
Whereas, The Amendment was duly reviewed and considered by the Zoning, Neighborhoods and Development Committee and determined to be feasible; by the City Plan Commission and determined to be sufficiently complete in detail to establish that the public works and improvements and the land uses proposed conform with the Master Plan for the City of Milwaukee, as amended to date; and by the City Attorney and determined to be complete and compliant with Section 66.46(4)(f), Wisconsin Statutes; and
Whereas, Pursuant to Section 66.46(4)(h)1, Wisconsin Statutes, the Amendment is further subject to review by the Joint Review Board and will be submitted to the Board for review upon passage of this resolution; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee regarding the Amendment to the Project Plan for Tax Incremental District Number Thirty-Seven, City of Milwaukee, that it finds and determines as follows:
1. The Project Plan for the District as originally adopted anticipated that the Plan would be amended during the seven-year expenditure period for such districts to address new redevelopment opportunities.
2. The Amendment retains the existing boundaries of the District and does not alter the number of properties within the District. Therefore, the findings made in Common Council File No. 971894, pursuant to Section 66.46(4)(gm)1 and 4, Wisconsin Statutes, are unchanged.
3. The Amendment retains the existing seven-year expenditure period for the District.
4. The Amendment revises the Economic Feasibility Study that is a part of the Plan, adds projects to be supported by the District, and makes related changes regarding project costs and financing; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Amendment to the Project Plan for Tax Incremental District Number Thirty-Seven is approved by the Common Council and that the Project Plan for said District as amended is feasible, in conformity with the Master Plan for the City of Milwaukee, and will promote the orderly development of the City of Milwaukee; and, be it
