- Analysis -
If adopted by two-thirds vote of the Common Council membership, this resolution will enable the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Milwaukee to proceed with the preparation of a Redevelopment Plan for the Bacher Farm Industrial Park Project Area and subsequently to submit that Plan to the Common Council for consideration and approval in accordance with the required procedures and provisions set forth in Section 66.431(6)(b)1., Wisconsin Statutes.
BODY:
Whereas, As a first step in the exercise of powers granted and for the acquisition and disposition of real property in a project area, Section 66.431, Wisconsin Statutes, as amended, requires that the Redevelopment Authority designate the boundaries of a proposed project area in order to ascertain the names of the owners of record of the real property within such project which are to be given official public notice and also to submit such boundaries to the Common Council for approval and for a declaration that such area is a blighted area in need of blight elimination and an urban renewal project; and
Whereas, On December 16, 1999, the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Milwaukee ("Authority") designated boundaries for a proposed Bacher Farm Industrial Park Project with a recommendation for subsequent Common Council of the City of Milwaukee ("Council") approval; and
Whereas, Section 66.431(6)(b)1., Wisconsin Statutes, also provides that the Council may take appropriate action to assure that any new construction or substantial remodeling of existing structures within such boundaries will not substantially prejudice the preparation and processing of a Redevelopment Plan for the proposed Project Area; and
Whereas, The Council deems it necessary and in the public interest to undertake activities to eliminate blight, blighting influences, obsolescence and the deterioration of property in the Bacher Farm Industrial Park Project Area; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee regarding approval of the boundaries for a proposed Bacher Farm Industrial Park Project pursuant to the provisions of Section 66.431, Wisconsin Statutes, that:
1. The Project Area boundaries designated by the Authority, which are more specifically described in the exhibit, a copy of which is attached to this Common Council File, are in all respects approved.
2. It is declared that the Project Area designated, by virtue of its present use, obsolescence, deterioration of site and other improvements, substantially impairs or arrests the sound growth of the City of Milwaukee and, therefore, is a blighted area in need of an urban renewal project within the meaning of Section 66.431, Wisconsin Statutes.
3. The Authority is requested to proceed with the preparation of a Redevelopment Plan and, if necessary, a Relocation Payment and Assistance Plan for the proposed Project Area, including any and all studies and surveys necessary as may be required by Wisconsin law and to submit such Plan to the Council for approval.
4. The proper City officials and proper officials of the Authority are authorized and directed to enter into a Cooperation Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Common Council File, with Milwaukee County for the preparation of the Redevelopment Plan described in paragraph 3, above.
5. For an initial period not to exceed six months from the adoption of this resolution, it hereby prohibits the authorization of any new construction in the proposed Project Area, except upon resolution by the Council as provided in Section 66.431(6)(b)1., Wisconsin Statutes, and in Section 200-36, Milwaukee Code of Ordinances, and, therefore, no new construction except ordinary repair or maintenance or improvement necessary to continue occupancy under any regulatory order, shall be authorized by any agency, board, or commission of the City of Milwaukee in such area except as herein provided.
6. It pledges its cooperation in the preparation of plans incidental to the aforesaid Project and requests the various City officials, departments, boards, commissions, and agencies having administrative jurisdiction and responsibilities in the premises located within the designated and approved boundaries of the proposed Project to likewise cooperate with and to assist, as may be appropriate, the Authority and its duly appointed staff, the Department of City Development.
7. The City Clerk is directed to transmit a certified copy of this Common Council Resolution along with a copy of the exhibit attached to this file to the Commissioner of Public Works, the Commissioner of City Development, the Commissioner of Neighborhood Services, the City Engineer, and the Director of Economic Development of Milwaukee County.
