It responds to the requirements outlined in C.R.S. 31-25-107 (3.5): C.R.S. 31-25-107:APPROVAL OF URBAN RENEWAL PLANS BY THE LOCAL GOVERNING BODY (3.5) "Prior to the approval of an urban renewal plan,the governing body shall submit such plan to the board of county commissioners,which shall include, at a minimum,the following information concerning the impact of such plan: I. The estimated duration of time to complete the urban renewal project; II. The estimated annual property tax increment to be generated by the urban renewal project and the portion of such property tax increment to be allocated during this period to fund the urban renewal project; III. An estimate of the impact of the urban renewal project on county revenues and on the cost and extent of additional county infrastructure and services required to serve development within the proposed urban renewal area,and the benefit of improvements within the urban renewal area to existing county infrastructure; IV. A statement setting forth the method under which the authority or the municipality will finance,or that agreements are in place to finance,any additional county infrastructure and services required to serve development in the urban renewal area for the period in which all or any portion of the property taxes described in subparagraph(ii)of paragraph (a)of subsection(9)of this section and levied by a county are paid to the authority;and V. Any other estimated impacts of the urban renewal project on county services or revenues." 1 41-40. Ricker Cunningham Summary of Urban Renewal Plan Development Program The proposed development program for the Highway 85 Corridor Urban Renewal Area (the Area) is consistent with current policy documents and plans for the City of Evans. The development program reflects existing buildings in the Area and a modest amount of new commercial construction over the next 20 to 25 years,as summarized in Table 1. Table 1 Highway 85 Corridor Urban Renewal Area Proposed Development Program New Redevelopment: Sq Ft Anchor Retail 80,000 Other Retail/Service 40,000 Source: RickerlCunningham. Development Timing The development timetable for the proposed program presented above will ultimately be determined by prevailing market conditions. A critical component of the analysis presented here is the assumption that existing parcels within the planning area will increase in value and/or be redeveloped into a mix of retail and employment uses. For the purposes of this analysis, it was assumed that new development and/or redevelopment in the Area will be substantially completed during the 20-to 25-year development and stabilization period. 2 ♦ Ricker Cunningham Summary Impacts to Weld County For the purposes of this analysis, it is assumed that 100%of the total property tax increment over the 25-year period will be allocated to project costs. Table 2 at the end of this report provides a summary of these tax revenues. Property Tax Revenue Currently,the property tax base in the Area is approximately$1,015,100. During the 25-year statutory period,the County's share of property tax revenue will be derived from its levy against the property tax base assessed value--approximately$5.4 million over the 25-year period,or $216,000 annually(on average) adjusted for general reassessments. After the 25-year analysis period is completed,the County's share of property tax revenues will increase to approximately $308,000 on an annual basis. These figures reflect the impacts of inflation, conservatively estimated at approximately 1%on an annual basis. County Services/Infrastructure Because the entire Area is located within the City of Evans' municipal boundaries,there is anticipated to be a minimal impact on County services. Infrastructure impacts associated with the proposed development program are assumed to be financed by the Evans Redevelopment Agency,the City of Evans, private enterprise or other sources, but not the County. Impacts to the County's general government services could increase due to an increase in non-residential development, but such impacts should be more than offset by the increase in revenue described above and value increases in properties outside of the Area. Net Impact to County Table 2 also illustrates the net impact to the County over the 25-year tax analysis period. As shown,the County's net impact, in terms of property tax revenue, is estimated to be a surplus of approximately$3.8 million. 3 Ricker Cunningham Conclusion In summary,and regarding"the impact of the reinvestment project on county revenues and on the cost and extent of additional county infrastructure and services required to serve development within the proposed reinvestment area",there do not appear to be any significant additional County infrastructure requirements required to serve development in the proposed reinvestment Area. Further,the County will not provide any public improvements, police, utility or other specific services to serve such development as properties in the area are entirely located within the municipal boundaries of the City and will therefore be served by the City. Finally,any additional demands(direct or indirect)on County services due to a general increase in population within the Area should be more than offset (as are all other such costs) by increases in County revenue as described herein and by adjustments in the base property tax assessment roll,as well as increases in property value located in proximity to the Area. 4 M N to V .y n VD N a, O O m N N O to n N in m n tO a o el m n b la o O a H^ N N N p Q .; en ti ti 5,- co Ln o, a w N O N n y N Lo N fj a Zr.
