Call for Public Hearing - Sand Companies Affordable Housing
TIP District
January 25,2006
RE:
BACKGROUND
The Sand Companies have begun the site plan review process for their 48-unit
apartment building to be located at the comer of new Highway 212 and the
relocated Highway 101. This is going to be an affordable housing project, and
they have received tax credits through the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency.
As part of their tax credit application, the City provided a letter of support
indicating that the use of Tax Increment Financing may be available to help make
this project affordable.
In order to begin the process of creating a Tax Increment Financing district, the
City Council must call for a public hearing on the project.
A full schedule of events is attached to this report. The entire process should be
completed by April 30, 2006.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council call for a public hearing to be held on
April 10, 2006 on the proposed establishment of Tax Increment Financing District
#9. Approval of this action requires a majority vote of the city council.
The City of Chanhassen · A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play.
